Trenches
03:38

As a boy i didn’t know much
as I grew up, remained out of touch
now that I’m fully grown
I’m in the trenches everyday
in the trenches thats the way
in the trenches
in the trenches
in the trenches I go
everyday is the same
the only way I know
ran in to an old friend
he asked me how i been
Friend I been in this race of rats
this race of men
I wondered how he’d escaped the same fate
with demon eyes he read my mind
he touched my hand said come with me
down here you can be set free
out the trenches
out the trenches
out the trenches we go
down here we’re at ease
do what we please

Got a Date
04:43

Goodness gracious I am late again
I got a date gonna make my mind bend
I'll be out awhile don't you wait up
Gonna drink pixie dust from an old coffee cup
Excuse me if I stare
I’m fucked up and its hard to care
Excuse me if I stare
I’m fucked up and its hard to care
I see myself in the future I still look the same
I’m the last man standing carry on the family name
three legged dog, he walks a winding road
It's the same landscape for the next million miles I'm told.
I got an itch it can't be scratched it's a nerves thing
Stick my finger down my throat now my ears ring
Overzealous, should I call the man?
Much too late for that, much too late for that
Excuse me, if I stare
I’m fucked up and I don’t care
Excuse me, if I stare
I’m fucked up and I don’t care
Woo Darlin, I know I been gone a while
Seen some strange things, none as fine as your melted smile
Woo Darlin, how I missed you so
The next time I got a date, just refuse to let me go.
Just refuse
Just refuse
Just refuse to let me go.

Bugs

From dem bugs I’m takin’ what was mine
From dem bugs I’m shakin’ all the time
I think of words my mouth can’t spit them out
From dem bugs I just can’t walk a line
It happens all the time
Through the woods and the snow and the Fire I go
I know
Through the woods and the snow and the Fire I go
I know, I know
Fix me a drink tonight, I don’t wanna feel
From dem bugs new scabs begin to peel
Stick man he hangs from a tree
From dem bugs his eyes lock on me
He’s says “I’m free,”
Through the woods and the snow and the Fire I go
I know
Through the woods and the snow and the Fire I go
I know, I know

Shy Boy
04:48
|

I was a shy boy
All my friends were in my head
We made the whole town burn
and that fire spread
Shy boy
Shy boy
Fire in the hole
Blackened was his soul
Years spent in the dark
Black was my heart
Old friends they stayed
In my ear everyday
I had a fucking bug in my ear
directing shit, telling me to disappear
I tried to hang on, my mind was mush
They’d grind my gears they pushed and pushed
Sometimes in the walls i’d hear their breath
Talk me up on a chair with a noose on neck
eyes burned dripping tears down fire red
Contemplate this life as I face death
Now I‘m a modest man
old friends are dead
Medicated
Medicated
Medicated
Shy boy
Shy boy
Fire in the hole
Blackened was his soul
Shy boy
Shy boy
Hating everyone
Eclipsed was his sun

Okey Dokey
03:26
|

I feel great, but it cain’t
Go to my head, I feel alive
What I say and what I mean
two different things, at least I try
I was explosive, drove you away
And though you’re long gone, I’m ok
Said I’m alright, shouldn’t be
No money, no girl, I love the agony
I’m okay
I’m okay
Okey dokey?
I’m okay
I’m okay
I’m okay
Okey dokey?
I’m okay
I’m okay
Okey dokey?
It don’t mean anything, its just a song dear
I am bad now, but I’ll be better here
So I ponder, if absence makes the heart grow fonder
how does one find, out of site out of mind?
It don’t mean anything, its just a song dear
I was bad then, I’m getting here
I still wonder, if absence makes the heart grow fonder
how does one find, out of site out of mind?

Dot on a Speck

Dot on a speck
on a speck on a dot
focus in more i see
somewhere further still below
A lifetime is a dream
On the dot on the speck
this thought running thru my mind
such a trip
On the dot on the speck
this thought running thru my mind
such a trip
Many men have come before
Same thoughts we shared
Many men will come and go
A lifetime is a dream
One day man will be gone
every breath will cease
Will time and space move on?
when every thought’s erased?
A lifetime is a dream
On the dot on the speck
this thought running thru my mind
its a trip
On the dot on the speck
this thought running thru my mind
such a trip

Simulation
05:08
|
|||
I had a simple thought
Now I’m free
Kill and I won’t get caught
Now I see
The simulation around me
simulation is you and me
the simulation around me
It’s everywhere, everything
Walk with a potent strut
While flames lick my shins
In the simulation, pain is everything
Here I’m a common man
everything pre planned
The simulation, numbers on a screen
creating everywhere and everything
simulation around me
simulation is you and me
the simulation around me
It’s everywhere, everything
I don’t remember feeling this good
I don’t remember feeling so good

Creature
04:05
|
|||
In the ashes i burn
off the gallows returned
Now I am something i was not
outside i’m searing hot
inside i fucking rot
I rot
I am a creature
No longer a man
I am a creature
I am
Steam pumps off my skull
blood shot eyes they glow
I fear I’ve lost my soul
I fear i’ve lost control
Lost control
I am a creature
No longer a man
I am a creature
I am
Its hard to see
The old me
Old friends they flee
at the sight of me
I was gone, now I’m back
that magic was black, so black
my love I’m afraid i’m not the same
Black magic is the magic to blame
