hate   Back to the Top

hate crowded by the empty room
bitterness will run you through
if you're in the way
love broken by the dragon's wings
prayed for one bright thing
guess i'll have to wait
dragged me out
frightened by my nakedness
frightened by my own sweet smell
i know hate
words spit into porous wind
violence blows you in 
if you're in the way
mine a victim of the cold parade
silenced some might say
guess it came too late
dragged me out
frightened by my nakedness
frightened by my own sweet smell
i know hate
and it brings me comfort
then it breaks my back
precious pulls me under 
till I can't get back
and you might be sorry
but this time i know
places fought for left alone
sleep can't save me numbing
dragged me out
fin my nakedness
in my own sweet smell
i know i know i know

theme from cola    Back to the Top

ours is the legacy of waste
waste all the things we turned to dust
simple if we would like to find
punished by words i'm taken
finally pressed you'd like to know
known for the trip unfolding
pleasantries building as we go
timid the way i'll take it
now memory is over memories over
are you still remembering
never meant to go there
are you still remembered
all through the dress i lie awake
tearful as i've been binding
only in your mind to make it
helpful or not i take it
now memory is over memories over
are you still remembering
never meant to go there
are you still remembered

resurrection    Back to the Top

i've been drowned out by the rain
still i'm wishing i could stay
but i'm sorry my old friend
i've got to leave you once again
and despite what i might say
i measure pleasure by the pain
measure pleasure by the twisting
of the metal in the vein
and it might be very hard
can't be more than what we are
can't be more till it's over
here comes the resurrection
everybody's got to die from something
nothing ever left to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way you cut them might be
animal the way i cut you from below
so you goad me into spite
it's the cruelty that you'd like
it's the waiting for the one thing
that you never could defined
fill the longing just because
emasculate the ones you love
have to wait till it's over
we are less than mighty
never was a way i thought it could be
never quite enough to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way you cut them might be
animal the way i cut you from below
i've been drowned out by the rain
still i'm wishing i could stay
but i'm sorry my old friend
i'll have to leave you once again
and despite what i might say
i measure pleasure by the pain
measure pleasure by the twisting
of the metal in the vein
and it might be very hard
can't be more than what we are
can't be more when it's over
here comes the resurrection
everybody's wants to die for something
never thought i'd live to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way we cut them might be
animal the way we cut them from below
and if anger is the ending 
of the thing that we've become
for the mother and the father
and the sister and the son
through the shallow without wanting
realization to mistake
through the ugliness
the open all the things we can't replace
i will control

leave it alone    Back to the Top

i'd walk the water to get back to you
and where i was complete
we found you scattered by the highway side too 
soon to be released
gathered the pieces up and clean the place
where you were undone
and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the 
thoughts that we'd begun
i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if i could rape the day and find the things i thought
i'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
i laid your arms out long untwisted there
and shaped what i could find
unmade the most of it then left the rest
the parts unrecognized
my reconstruction was the only way
for one last look at you
i lost the sense of it at the absolution
that we never knew
leave it alone again tonight
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
it takes me back from this place here
i came to burn the sky and take away
the beauty that it sows
i came to rape the day and find the things
i thought i'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
from this place here it takes me over
and it might be lost in this place here
from this place here it takes me on
leave it alone again tonight

creature    Back to the Top

high heeled and overzealous come
to beat my puppy love with all your sins
i'll come again
bound to me to suck my sickness like your lover
sucks my weakness down like rain
we'll come again
hurray for you boy
just enough to make me easier
i was the one to never change
and i come and i come like rain
pumped thumping rip it all open
my disease is buried deep in all sweet things
we'll never change
spoiled rotten by your secret still 
i like to hold your creature close to me
it drove insane
so here's to you girl
opened up to make me easier
i was the one to never change
and i come and we come like rain
lovely here and again like rain
don't be unsightly washed so cleanly
never invited might not mean a thing
don't be invited i'm so manly
don't be dirty washed so cleanly
always perverted might not mean a thing
never unsightly not so manly
and i come and i come like rain
lovely here but again like rain

shotgun    Back to the Top

shotgun blast spreads like dawning
rip me open feel it coming
bowing down to my addiction
never meant to go so willing
thought i found the something better
terminally hope is crashing
laughing and crashing it's laughing i'm crashing
sorry that i left your language
found a place of my opinion
galvanized the oversight
by pissing on your whole philosophy
mine is just the easy target
mine is just the carnal weakness
wishing for something
and something been wishing
how long is this going to take us going on
is this going to take us
how long is this gonna take us on
you could be the innocent
and i could play the unwashed savior
counting on cancer to teach us to live
tired of all the vacillations
halicon come take me under
laughing and crashing we're laughing
i'm crashing
how long is this going to take us going on
is this going to take us
how long is this gonna take us on
shotgun blast spreads like dawning

disco days    Back to the Top

and well turn away
yes it's hard in here
and we'll suffer the failure
of my promise
you let me believe that it was over
i twisted the world to make it so god darn easy for you
hard to escape what's hard
we the living
and i'm worn clear through
from my disco days
have i grown too familiar
to be honest
you let me believe that it was over
i twisted the words to make it so godamn easy for me
pity we'll have to close our eyes
we the living

tangerine    Back to the Top

the flowers that i gave you dying slowly on the wall
the broken fragments of opinion
as the dirty start to fall
i'm not as careful as i should have been
i might not disagree
but for the ignorance of everyone
opinion gone to waste
have you been this far
tangerine the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see him waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if you'd love to see him waste away
the purposeful delusions
of this weakness will dissolve
the broken promises revidescent
as  the anger start to crawl
i'm not as frightened as i've always been
i might not disagree
but for the ignorance of everyone
opinion starts to fall apart
have you been this far
tangerine the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see her waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if you'd love to see him waste away
cause you're a child and that's alright
to let my deep blue sickness cover you with lies 
and if i'm low it gets me high
and we will shrivel up and waste away
beneath the evening tide
have you been this far
tingling the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you 
laid him here and love to see him waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if you'd love to see him waste away

better than you    Back to the Top

i've sold out every memory i have borrowed
i had bought from you
these pictures run like water to dilute me
lay me over you
and i thought that this would be so right
and everyone and everyone
is better than you
i've let each slow perversion fosters
dying killed this truth in me
gone quietly gone completely cold reminder what
you tried to be
and i knew that this would be so right
and everyone and everyone
is better than you
and it's hard and it's hated
and it's hard
and if so and if so
and everyone and everyone
is better than you

baby skin tattoo    Back to the Top

I promised you delight and heaven opens 
come wage my holy war
where every thought is sin
i've been meaning to remove my baby skin tattoo
and i meant to be more kind
well maybe next time
if you come my way
if you come my way
if you come my way
we might feel the same
consequence of rage
if you come my way
i caught you on your knees
my words aren't wasted
you'd love to be realeased without tasting it
ands it's only if you bought what i have sold you
and if everything is fine well maybe next time
and if we go quiet if we can slip through
if i could only think only go unnoticed
if we hide the anger smolder inside
wait my time so quiet
changed my face again so you'll forget me
purified the skin is just a covering
i've been meaning to remove my baby skin tattoo
and i meant to be more kind
and maybe next time
i'll be a friend
and next time they'll be the enemy
and you might find
what you might find
maybe this time

Ophelia    Back to the Top

morning came to pieces without offering is it still real
precious little pistol beaten senseless till she can't feel
still the moments passing by it's only the time that we could never stop
early morning winter came been too close to be so close again
i never meant to be so cold it's only time that we could never stop
still the moments passing by
i'm letting ophelia die
daisy dusted lightly so politely till she can't see
itchy little trigger will deliver what you can't be
still the moments passing by it's only the time that we could never stop
early morning winter came been too close to be so close again
i never meant to be so cold it's only time that we could never stop
still the moments passing by
i'm letting ophelia die

gasoline    Back to the Top

did i hurt you all wash of waters broken
my fabulous machine to suck so close your eye's i'll cut you inside
and tell me did i hurt you, your machine will die
and tell me what i've wasted tell me
gasoline is on my head
i'm turning on
and tell me if it kills you quietly the world is waiting
bringing on it's own arrival something tries to burn you inside
and tell me what i've taken taken my machine has died
and tell me what i've wasted tell me
and gasoline is on my head
i'm turning on
these hands have broken
hard pressed on everyone
my words can't open you alone you alone
gasoline is in my head
i'm turning on
i'm turning home
