Heart Wide Open

Dance
With a devil on the hill
My heart is restless
She
Does she marry, love, or kill
With her heart wide open
You
Won’t you lead me toward the light
Before the spell is broken
Now
That the fire’s burning bright
With my heart wide open
Lost
So I’m never found again
And my mind can wander
Lust
Like the animal I’ve been
With my heart wide open
You
Won’t you lead me toward the light
Before the spell is broken
Now
That the fire’s burning bright
With my heart wide open
------
You
Won’t you lead me toward the light
Before the spell is broken
Now
That the fire’s burning bright…
Yeah You,
Won’t you save me from this light
Now that the spell is broken
I… Am the fire burning bright
With my heart wide open

The Sacrament
04:19
|

She came on smoking gospel cigarettes
I couldn’t breathe, I asked her to repent
She was living on Two Buck Chuck
and a crust of bread
And I could not help but
feel like a sacrament
Dipped in blood in pieces, body ren
f you’re in amongst the multitude
And can’t find your way around
If you’ve given up on gettin’ down
Because you know you’re not allowed
If you can’t get beyond this wall
Why don’t you just give a shout
I cannot save your soul
But I’ll help you out
(When) I came to I was buried on her bed
She gave me a look like she’d
raise me from the dead
Counting the coins in her purse,
she was in the red
Not enough for Two Buck Chuck
or a crust of bread
Today she’s gonna go
without remembering
If you’re in amongst the multitude
And can’t find your way around
If you’ve given up on gettin’ down
Because you know you’re not allowed
If you can’t get beyond this wall
Why don’t you just give a shout
I cannot save your soul
But I’ll help you out
I stepped out on the lawn and
took a mighty breath
She opened the window up,
this is what she said
“Thanks for the Two Buck Chuck
and the crust of bread…
The blood on my lips and
my body across your bed…
Returned me to the living
from among the dead”
If you’re in amongst the multitude
And can’t find your way around
If you’ve given up on gettin’ down
Because you know you’re not allowed
If you can’t get beyond this wall
Why don’t you just give a shout
I cannot save your soul
But I’ll help you out

Spin the World

My behavior turned
As the strangeness burned
(when) I was lost, you were the sun
(You) paid the cost, I came undone
Now when you think of me
And pour through all my letters
Now when you look me up
And find I’m doing better…
Was that how you thought I’d leave
On a gurney cuffed in sleeves?
(Was) my condition just pretend
Spin the wheel to choose an end?
Blur; clairvoyant pain
Washed out of the vein
Baptized you, made it new
Gave you life as I withdrew
Now when you think of me
And pour through all my letters
Now when you look me up and
find I’m doing much, much better
Is that how you think of me
On a gurney cuffed in sleeves?
With the sickness my “pretend”.
Spins the world, a chance to end.
How will they remember me?
On a gurney cuffed in sleeves?
Into darkness I descend.
Spin the world to change the end.

Winter Rose
04:47
|

Bitter frost that shreds the lungs
Batters every breath I take
Bound like metal to our tongues
Waiting for the cold to break
Taste of metal in the air,
And it's colder than before.
Falling faster everywhere,
With no way to close this door
But it’s frozen
I’m still winter
At the chosen time
Time is freezing
Icy splinter
Seconds squeezing by
… my eye.
Given time to acclimate.
And everybody knows.
There’s no one to germinate
The ephemeral winter rose
Ever frozen…
Always winter
It’s the chosen time
Time is freezing
Icy Spinter
Seconds Squeezing by………

Lacuna Feast
02:09
|

Mob comes around
When they knock on the door
Have you hidden just before
From the sound
Underground, underground?
Peace is not what it sounds
The exception’s the case
And the norm has been replaced
By a clown
To bring us down, and keep us down
We are always told
That we’re open and free
There’s no better place
Do you disagree?
If you think there is
You can go and see
You’re not wanted here
(They don’t want you either)
Penned into law
Human heart, human bone
In a gap all alone
Within our wall
Free to maul, free to gnaw
We are always told
That we’re open and free
There’s no better place
Do you disagree?
Democracy is safe
If you trust in me
You’re not wanted here
(Go and choke on your freedom)
Peace is not what it sounds
The exception’s the case
And the norm has been replaced
By a clown
To bring us down...
to bring us down...
To break us down...
AND KEEP! US! DOWN!

Kid

Kid is on a mood
On a Brad attitude
He’s mature, beyond his years
He’s a dude
Slapped with kisses
From Mrs. perfume
Kid is honor roll
In the club but not a tool
He’s demure, it’s the show
He controls
Draws the curtain
Against a certain patrol
Kid is all the goods
USC, Hollywood
He’s assured the story arcs
As it should
The scene’s electric
With Mrs. neglected you would
Kid has got the blues
Just got the what-the-fuck bad news
Yes she’s sure. Yes it’s his
He’s confused
How does this happen
To such a happening dude?
Kid lived down the block
In a bungalow, on the clock
Was divorced, several years
The kids all walked
Found the bottle
Beneath the throttling knot

Beast of State

You just assume you’re free
Loved by the crowd
You’re as proud as a circus monkey
You’d sell your dignity
But you had none… subsidized
by your daddy’s money
It bites with your teeth
And it licks with your tongue
It beats with your heart
And it breathes with your lungs
You grab and grope at will
Lap up the pain
Little pig, your rotten swill
Crowd’s gonna pay the bill
And from your hand
They’ll select the little red pill
t bites with your teeth
And it licks with your tongue
It beats with your heart
And it breathes with your lungs
All that you think you own
Fat man… Little hands…
Change of plans: This is not your throne!
Left with a microphone…
cord around your neck
Power cut, the crowd is gone
It walks with your feet
To the edge of the war
You're dragged through the street
[Be]cause you're useful no more
