  1. 1. Empty Walls

    Your empty walls...
    Your empty walls...
    Pretentious attention
    Dismissive apprehension
    Don't waste your time, on coffins today
    When we decline, from the confines of our mind
    Don't waste your time, on coffins today

    Don't you see their bodies burning?
    Desolate and full of yearning
    Dying of anticipation
    Choking from intoxication

    Don't you see their bodies burning?
    Desolate and full of yearning
    Dying of anticipation
    Choking from intoxication

    I want you
    To be
    Left behind those empty walls
    Taunt you
    To see
    From behind those empty walls

    Those empty walls
    When we decline, from the confines of our mind
    Don't waste your time, on coffins today

    Don't you see their bodies burning?
    Desolate and full of yearning
    Dying of anticipation
    Choking from intoxication

    Don't you see their bodies burning?

    Dying of anticipation
    Choking from intoxication

    I want you
    To be
    Left behind those empty walls
    Taunt you
    To see
    From behind those empty walls
    Want you to be
    Left behind those empty walls
    I taunt you
    To see
    From behind those empty walls

    From behind those empty walls
    From behind those empty walls
    The walls
    From behind those empty walls

    I loved you
    Yesterday, before
    You killed my family.

    Don't you see their bodies burning?
    Desolate and full of yearning
    Dying of anticipation
    Choking from intoxication

    Don't you see their bodies burning?
    Desolate and full of yearning

    Choking from intoxication

    I want you
    To be

    Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
    Taunt you
    To see
    From behind those empty walls
    From behind those empty walls
    From behind those fucking walls
    From behind those goddamn walls
    Those walls...

    Money,
    All for money,
    Save your money,
    Hide your money,
    Stuff your money,
    Hump your money
    Keep your money

    This possession
    Dispossessed from all the attractions,
    Dancing bears of eroticism,
    Self absorbed delusion
    Inclusion of dysfunction
    I now await the triumphant
    Lost baggage, train station,

    The causes of ineptitude
    Can be traced to my mandatory down,
    The causes of my servitude

    My final surrender
    Away from inclusion
    I now await the triumphant
    Left baggage, train station,

    The causes of ineptitude
    Can be traced to my mandatory down,
    The causes of my servitude

  3. 4. Feed Us

    Maybe we believe
    she was ready to go
    In the morning light
    Maybe you believe
    That she was made of gold
    In the east where you killed her
    You lead us
    When you need to feed us
    You comfortably delete us
    When you need your fetus,

    You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out and,
    Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out,

    Goodbye, goodbye,

    She speaks unrehearsed
    Languages from skin
    In the morning light
    Painting shadows on the
    faces of the dead
    In front of their widows,

    You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out and,
    Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Before its too late,

    Do you know that life is ending,
    As we go, the dots connecting,
    We had our chance to save the garden,
    As it dies, our souls will harden,
    With these words chastising your conscience
    Were breaking through and praying for
    transcendence.

    But you deceived us all now,

    You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out and,
    Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out,
    Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out and,
    Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
    Stars look out.


    5. Saving Us

    Why do we sit around and
    Break each others hearts tonight,
    Why do we dance around
    The issues till the morning light,
    When we sit and talk and
    Tear each others lives apart,
    You were the one to tell me go,
    But you were the one for me
    And now youre going through the door
    When you take that step
    I love you baby more and more
    We need to laugh and sing and cry
    And warm each others hearts tonight,
    Observing the fun of everything
    And loving all of mother God,

    Tearing us, youre tearing us,
    Youre breaking us, youre breaking us,
    Youre killing us, killing us,
    Youre saving us, youre saving us,
    Youre tearing us, youre tearing us,
    Youre breaking us, breaking us,
    Youre killing us, killing us,
    Youre saving us,

    Why do we sit around and
    Break each others hearts tonight,
    Why do we dance around
    The issues till the morning light,
    When we sit and talk and
    Tear each others lives apart,
    You were the one to tell me go,
    But you were the one for me
    And now youre going through the door
    When you take that step
    I love you baby more and more
    We need to laugh and sing and cry
    And warm each others hearts tonight,
    Observing the fun of everything
    And loving all of mother God,

    Tearing us, youre tearing us,
    Youre breaking us, youre breaking us,
    Youre killing us, killing us,
    Youre saving us, youre saving us,
    Youre tearing us, youre tearing us,
    Youre breaking us, breaking us,
    Youre killing us, killing us,
    Youre saving us,

    Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever,
    Forever alive, forever alive, forever,
    Never and ever again,

    Youre tearing us, youre tearing us,
    Youre breaking us, youre breaking us,
    Youre killing us, killing us,
    Youre saving us, youre saving us,
    Youre tearing us, youre tearing us,
    Youre breaking us, breaking us,
    Youre killing us, killing us,
    Youre saving us,

  4. 6. Sky Is Over

    Everybody knows,
    Everybody knows,
    That you cradle the sun, sun
    Living in remorse,
    Sky is over,

    Dont you want to hold me baby,
    Disappointed, going crazy,

    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,
    I dont want to see you go,
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,

    Behind closes eyes lie
    The minds ready to awaken you,
    Are you at war with land
    And all of its creatures,
    Your not-so-gentle persuasion
    Has been known to wreck economies
    Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,

    Dont you want to hold me baby,
    Disappointed, going crazy,

    Not even from the sun,
    Not even from the sun
    Not even from the sun,
    Dont you want me to run,

    Even though you cant afford
    The sky is over,
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,
    I dont want to see you go,
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,
    I dont want to see you go,
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,
    I dont want to see you go,
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over,
    The sky is over us.


    7. Baby

    You came to me within a dream
    Not everyone is who they seem,
    All these words we cant redeem,
    Like the great magic of our world,
    Corroborated by your words,
    Splitting planets into thirds.

    Baby oh baby,
    Baby my baby,
    Baby ooh babe
    I miss you, lalala,
    Baby oh baby,
    Baby my babe,
    Baby ooh babe
    I miss you

    To all the leaves that fall in vain,
    While god and goddess go insane
    All these words in your domain,
    The watches kill time as the books read,
    Inadvertently we bleed
    Fighting for what we deceive,

    Baby oh baby,
    Baby my baby,
    Baby ooh babe
    I miss you, lalala,
    Baby oh baby,
    Baby my babe,
    Baby ooh babe
    I miss you

    Leave me alone,
    Leave me alone,
    Now why cant you see that you always
    perturb me so
    Nearing the end of the world, just leave me
    alone
    leave me alone
    Why cant you see that you always perturb me
    so
    Nearing the end of the world, leave me alone,
    Leave me alone.

    Baby oh baby,
    Baby my baby,
    Baby ooh babe
    I miss you, lalala,
    Baby oh baby,
    Baby my babe,
    Baby ooh babe
    I miss you

  5. 8. Honking Antelope

    Why dont you go photograph
    Everything that ever passed in time,
    Indigenous traces, tribal chiefs,
    Vanishing hereditary lines,
    Poets gone wild on the muse
    Prophets all destroying the Tao,

    When you see that honking antelope,
    The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

    Nature based being will survive
    Apocalyptic days of now,
    Poets gone wild on the muse
    Prophets all destroying the Tao,

    When you see that honking antelope,
    The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

    Of it all,
    Run away with me now,
    Run away with me now,
    My life,

    We are the cause of a world thats gone
    wrong,
    Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

    11. Beethoven's Cunt

    Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
    Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
    Oceans are combined,

    Being that I love you so much
    In the end they all will say
    Breaking someone else's heart again,

    Find the little evil perpetrator
    And feed him to the hungry alligator
    You want it all,
    You want it all,
    Love is not about the profits
    Nor the riches in your dreams,

    The arms of time are breaking off,
    Civilization is on trial,
    The clocks eliminating time
    Do you believe in me

    Ive been walking through these dead farms
    But I don't mind,
    Ive been screaming through these dead
    lungs,
    But I cant find,

    Being that I love you so much
    In the end they all will say
    Breaking someone else's heart again,

    Find the little evil perpetrator
    And feed her to the hungry alligator
    You want it all,
    You want it all,
    Love is not about the profits
    Nor the riches in your dreams,

    The arms of time are breaking off,
    Civilization is on trial,
    The clocks eliminating time
    Do you believe, in me

    But lately Ive been blind
    You leave me all alone, left in time,
    You left me here to die, left in time,
    Leave me all alone, left in time,

    The arms of time are breaking off,
    Civilization is on trial,
    The clocks eliminating time
    Do you believe in nothing.

    But lately Ive been blind
    Leave me all alone, left in time.
