Massachussetts Saint
Whoa, I've no control
The walls are blurred and folding
Words left best unspoken
Are blaring through the phone
Emotions freely thrown
Quiet one's now open
Irrational conversation, again.
With all the rest I've gotten
Put a price on pleasure
What a waste of our good bodies
Better summon power over yours.
The Dead and Dying
Down in a hole with all the dead and dying,
I'm in denial that its over.
I'm not dead or dying, yet.
Oh, I'm gonna live more for me.
Im gonna live more for you.
Im gonna live more for whoever wants to see a dead man walkin' around.
Oh, Ive got a lot more life in me.
Cross me up and see
Theres not a damn thing you've done to me
Thats gonna stop me from living on happily.
Where am I?
Zugzwang
Hey, look man
Neither one of us has anything to gain from this transgression.
Try to walk away, better to think about it.
I know Im just supposed to forget about it, yea?
Listen to me, Im reason in a smaller package.
Drop your baggage and take lighter steps, help yourself.
Got a cooler head, not a duller brain.
Gonna make it clear, better say it plain.
Try to swallow your ego just a little while.
Not your fault we crossed paths today
Want to say Im sorry for the waste.
Its not my place.
But Im not here for your broken, lying, cryptic scathing words.
Sad to see you waiting for your peace of mind.
Humble deeds, humble words.
For the low you know that reason hurts.
Slowly Downward
See the world as it is
Not as you'd like it to be.
And you'll see.
Use your mind, think it through.
Full rationality.
And you'll see.
Break away from this hopeless mindset
Gods and fate are nothing but illusions
What a fool I am,
Offering counsel from a body so new
Slowly downward I will go.
Wrapped up by this crippling honor code.
Slowly downward I will fall
Down the hole, by the coldest thought
Its not my place
And not my mind to think the
dream is only when we sleep
Blind, we lie of clarity of mind
Cant convince yourself otherwise.
Go ahead and pray
Save action for the day
When strength of will comes crawling back to you.
Teach the young to see what they want to reach
Breed and preach what you will not pursue
Soldier vs Child

Shattered Self
I didnt wanna see it
I didnt wanna
But you gotta believe when you feel it.
Shattered persona.
I never wanna see it.
I never wanna.
You never wanna see it, but you know that you feel it.
Don'tcha?
Although you know that you're just killing time
It is your life passing you by
Hopelessly clawing to individuality - Self surpressed
And so you stand amazed at your face, hopeless
Hedgehog's Dilemma
Beautiful ones, like Milla on paper
Lower your guard and put you in danger
Passionate idiot, come to your senses
Break your mind over the edge.
The closer I get
More pain in my sides
What good is this, friend?
You know whenever you go left, I go right.
Meeting of the Goats and Sheep
As a goat I've learned to think
While chewing on the junk of sheep.
What a waste they make, living day to day afraid
No, Ive got no room for the Lord's fear
To live here, pass over me
Cleared mind, guilt free - I know how you'd like to be
Just like me.
No, Ive got no use for your scripture.
Whatever gave you the idea?
Was it mother, a dying brother?
I've no idea why we still fear
Life without faith in the past.
Oh, how Ive got to know
How you can fear every man
No faith in your fiction, so Ive got to go?
Mind Like a Dog
Mind like a dog begging for my song bird.
Buy one more for me
Got a lot of things to say, got a lot to see.
Why ask for solidarity
When war makes so much more for me?
How I wonder why you have hope
For these people who hate themselves
You're asking for the dogs to give you mercy
Since when do you scream louder than hunger
Yet you wonder why the hammer falls
Why the world has to break you
Its no secret Why the pack excludes you
Why their hungry eyes stare back at you
I can see why you're scared
When darkness comes the blind are spared
They have hope, dreams, ambitions
Their eyes were cut out as children
Yet you wonder why the hammer falls
Why the world has to break you
Its no secret Why the pack excludes you
Why their hungry eyes stare back at you
Trashcan Man
Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Trashcan man's back in town again.
It wont take long, just watch and see
All your homes burning to the ground
Oh, Trashcan Man...
Hey Trash, you gonna start a fire?
'Cause God made you to make his fire.
We've all got problems
And it doesnt hurt to talk about them
'Get out of my head
Leave me alone
What you see is all I need
Clear my eyes with gasoline
If it was up to me I wanna see
Flames consume all sanctity
Light the fire, all for you'
Breaking past the tabboo
Who wouldnt agree with you?
But you're one hell of a lost cause.
Theres no one like you, Trashcan Man
Who's gonna save us from ourselves?
The Vault Dweller
Walking on a sandy beach,
Pray with me while the waters preach
Gleam in your eye, you're alive
You and I, we've got time on our side
One it snaps, once it breaks, its over
Theres no healing or mending done
Keep the peace, rest your feet
Lay on the beach and pray with me
Yea, you know where its going down
But you don't know when
The rivers flow away, be by yourself today
Rivers take you away
