Totally Heavy Dethrobes

Here I chased my lover through these ancient tombs
My desire led my sweet love into her doom
A cosmic dreamer lay in wait
for her innocence to violate
Vines enfold
Behold the accursed child of the outside
rise up from primordial clay
Ride the sky on malevolent winds of decay
and in the nothingness from whence it came Hell is reborn
Flesh in it's final grips
The soul goes cold
Breathlessly slipping into the vastness of the interdimensional
Never ending nightmares drape unending nights
On the other side of a rain streaked window church bells chime
Walls drip wine

Locus of Control

Strange, girl
Strange you don't seem to notice love leaving no trace
Just a time and place meant to fade
Hung in effigy at the county line
Another casual crime
There's a carnival and the night to kill
Fascinations under such bright stars
We still wonder what we are
Trapped inside a moment we can't remember so well
Hey, boys
Crazy days laid to waste
Erase that internal locus of control
Let it go
Hung in effigy at the county line
where a sound splits the sky
There's a carnival and the night to kill
Fascinations under such bright stars
We still wonder what we are
Trapped inside a moment we can't remember at all
Follow the muse into each compulsive maze it leads you into
Borrow the flame and set what's inside ablaze
Burn forever
Unread words, unheard music
Alive unknown
Vaunted works in some circles still stand alone
A renewed commitment to our wasting no fucking further time
The less you know the more impressions might be formed
Reveal the real and manifest
Reveal the real
The manifestation of this intent
The will to live is my souls monument
Carved in stone

Facts in Doubt

Soulless bastard masters
Disaster state
What do we inherit but a future laid to waste?
Sold in self interest
Truly this is the kind of crime I can't forgive
They played us and they win
There's only so much a thing can take before it breaks under the weight
The strain of its own insatiable will to dominate
I know castles crumble as all great pride in time is humbled
Times of trouble are mile markers
History stumbles
You never meant to be here, nor did I
and yet here we are
Towers tumbling down
The monolith will crumble, brought down to its knees
Its true face will be seen
Once mighty mechanisms grind themselves to dust
A probing look
Expose the fault line
An overload of media, the facts in doubt
Nobody reads beyond the headline
and now so much seems to be all about identity
and that's you and me so come on now
Strike when ready to ignite
Explode! Destroy!
Fight for freedom, Fight for life
Now for the few
For all of you
There's a day and age dawning at the darkest edge of night
The future is calling
and that's why I moved downtown
There's a day and age dawning at the darkest edge of night
I will fight...
or will I?

Death Rattle n' Roll
05:22

Passed the time just fine now time is up
It's getting late and lately things are only coming clearer
as the past stares back out from a darkening mirror
as you stand there straining to recall how you could let it go so easy
Why you could never come close enough
I wanna know
Don't it sting like a bitch getting old
and living the lie you were sold and sold to (and swallowed)
I wanna know, does it dim your luminous rebirth?
Misfortunate sons
We are the ones nobody told you about
Nobody told you
Death rattle n' roll
Devoured whole by the untenable dreams of these modern extremes
This is all I have in this world are my brothers and my lovers name
Gonna give it all I can til I can't
With the sweet taste of desperate belief on my tongue
Battles are lost and won
and it's not Rock n' Roll burning a hole through me, no
It's the booze
It's the way that I lose when I lose
There's no turning back
Fuck that

It's Not Going Anywhere

So pretty but you could tell her mother certainly never loved her
No sir, never even heard that name before now
Once in a while she'd come around to rock n' roll but it was nothing
Just someone touching someone else
They tell me she got away too clean
We knew eventually she'd split the scene
The lady kills what she can't defend ever since that john cut Christine
and now I'm not so sure she'd die for anyone
Crashing where she lands
Her only other is a gun
She better make a friend of the ghost cuz it's not going anywhere
and it's so hard to chase away what we can barely face, let alone change
Got some black dripping down my back
Hell over my shoulder
Death on my track
She came, she went
Like a wildflower
A shot rings out
She'll never really get away
She'll live a lie like all the other wasted seekers that I've known
She'll tell herself it's what she wants
Everything happens for a reason
but she's always bleeding for no reason at all
