- A Year of Judges
It could be a deadbeat, a smooching kiss of death
Going on the defense, binding to bitterness
Throw it off, throw it off
Got your name, got your face, got a record of your mistakes
It’s too easy to end up sneering
It’s been too long now
Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off
You could *age* so quickly in a year of judges
- Awfull Fall
Seal the door (of which only one lock works)
What is expected of me now…who knows
With tacks stuck in toes
Debating on what’s likable
But certainly this isn’t home
Certainly not
It’s not so funny
- Civil Disguise
We started out as little kids believing things were hidden
Straight surfaces no cracks beneath
I wanted to believe it
We realize at the time there isn't much of a burn
Wait 'til your turn
Don't try to fool yourself
- Dried Moat
Entrance to hell is right outside my window
I stay in, it's no better inside
It's such a mess in here, filthy, unlivable
I try to breathe in here
Then I take a step onto the floor and make it outside
And it's cold and ugly under the pipes and
Nobody gets where it's safe
- Filistata
Crawling all over,
Behind ears and behind words
When you are alone and
You're not one of the boys and girls
You fall out of your web,
Dancing on a crooked ledge
You're falling of the edge
Is someone going to end up dead?
- Hand It Over
Now it's serious, but not so much belated
Your face may be something, but value is corroding
And all that your living for is fading faster than you
But you still some. and you wine delusional, inbred, impatient, you say
"Hand it over, and I wait now, and I've paid paid my dues"
And the scales on your body are flaking off as your going off
Laughing it off at another's expense as you she'd
And it doesn't matter what anyone's going through cause you've earned it now
- Idolesce
I see the wire underneath, your spectacle and your deceit
Secretive travesty, who stole my skin and my teeth
I watch as you became me, spoke everything I once believed
Grew out a shell from my dead seeds, blind to the hell and disease
I've no claim
Even though...
You've become everything I thought I was
You've taken everything I left behind
- Lifeless
I can see the lifeless, I can feel the darkness under you
I can see behind me
I can try to hide it but without a will to see the truth
I can feel a heartbeat slowing to nothing
Why don't I go when I know there's nothing I should want to?
Why do I stay when I know there's nothing I should say?
- Mad Monster Party
The full moon brings out the monster in you
A strange tune seems to be playing for you
Could you be someone's invention,
So unreal as you feel tonight?
Did you sell your soul to the Devil
At the monster party last night?
Mad, Mad Mad Monster Party.
- Mind Your Eyes
Even in buildings and still alleys, there is a sneaking threat breaking in
A little like fog, a little like heat, too much like an invasion of my safety
(Breaking in) I don't know why the dogs are barking
(Breaking in) Or why the gates are shaking
(Breaking in) It's not just the roof settling
(Breaking in) What is it that has followed me?
- Push Button
The world is a ploy...
The world is a ploy
To train you and shame you
A leash of employ
The rake sweeps and servers, dry leaves are the weak
A breakthrough could break you the day that you see
Hanging by a thread to the miniature things
- So Close
At their worst, their stares are a killing force
I go out of my way to avoid
I fall, fall, fall and stop
Stop at you, at where I don’t go
Stop at you, at where I don’t go
I’ll follow you into there….
Stay back and wait for the attack, way back
- Tablescrap
Notebook, scrapbook
Somehow I’ve misplaced you
You were a scratch on a paper, ink and a voice
Not meant to look back at me
The something or someone played a joke
Put on a twisted show
And there we were
I remember just listening, looking up to a fantasy
- Tall Tales
The days are colored, the days are colored
Painted by numbers with dirty little fingers
The trail and error, the trail and error
Put me away from this fleeting exterior
Will I leave her in the distance?
Out there hiding, where are you hiding?
As a monkey, dancing faster, eating traces of disaster
