Ghost Party
02:29
|
|||
|
I move around from room to room
Don't want this house to be my tomb
It's high time to stop feeling sorry
And follow the phantoms to the ghost party
It seems so rough when it doesn't have to be
I'll never forget what you taught me
So we sit back and wait for the night
'Cause the ghost party's gonna be a fright
All I did was bide my time
A punishment lacking a true crime
I've been trapped inside my head
Since all my friends are dead
It seems so rough when it doesn't have to be
I'll never forget what you taught me
So we sit back and wait for the night
'Cause the ghost party's gonna be a fright
They're not gone, they've just passed on
Friends in this life and beyond
No time to stay, lead me astray
We've been spirited away
It seems so rough when it doesn't have to be
I'll never forget what you taught me
So we sit back and wait for the night
'Cause the ghost party's gonna be a fright

Little Devil
02:43
|

|
We've all got a devil, and mine's a little loud
She's a scream, a moan from running us down
And I don't see how you could ever
So let's all get up and out of our doors
To our very own cells
We can pack our bags with consciousness
And leave this unseen hell
Ignore that little voice
Here giving you those thoughts
Saying this is how you won't,
Won't ever be forgot
So let's all get up and out of our doors
To our very own cells
We can pack our bags with consciousness
And leave this unseen hell
So let's all get up and out of our doors
To our very own cells
We can pack our bags with consciousness
And leave this unseen hell

Chase
02:45
|

A path as long as the shadows tall
I still have too much pride to crawl
Purple sky now streaked with red
Reluctantly, I turn my head
Moon starts to rise in the sky and I see
By the light of a thousand pale yellowy eyes
Hanging in the trees, making trails in the breeze
No one there to cover me
The branches and the stars do a terrible dance
As above so below, did I ever have a chance?
All this time I thought you were under my trance
But now you're after me
Whoa, whoa
A path as long as the shadows tall
In these cursed woods of
Time's slowing down and my feet don't make a sound
Against the ivy and the vines that are trying to pull me down
Air's getting thick, getting harder to breathe in this
Entropy-turned killing spree
Not in a position to make any demands, all the same
It's a shame that I don't understand
The constellations or the mazes of this fucked up land
Emotional quicksand
Whoa, whoa
A path as long as the shadows tall
Have I reached the gallows hall?

Moonlight
02:00
|

I've got a story of a nighttime prowl
On a warm summer night gone horribly foul
The sun sank low and it set the stage
For a witching hour fueled by rage
Blood on the windows and the death on the breeze
Eight skulls crushed and it's off into the trees
Blood on the windows and death on the breeze
Eight skulls crushed and it's off into the trees
Her only light a lit cigarette cherry
Who knows what sent her temper flaring?
The axe-slinging slasher set up a panic
Waiting patiently in that poor family's attic
Blood on the windows and the death on the breeze
Eight skulls crushed and it's off into the trees
Blood on the windows and death on the breeze
Eight skulls crushed and it's off into the trees
The axe not enough for this heartless deed
Both ends of the axe were fed by this spree
Hope those children said their prayers
Or they might find that the abyss also stares
Rooster cried at dawn, didn't know why
The well of blood had finally run dry
Some say she simply skipped town,
But I saw her get swallowed up by the ground

Essential Working Class
02:55
|

|
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
It's been bearing down on us
The weight of this injustice
And even gravity can't deny how long it's
Been hiding the sky
It's been bearing down on us
The weight of feeling powerless
Like being caught in a looping scream
As we kneel down in the streets
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
What's more seductive than space to invade?
The final frontier of the mess that they've made
When did the children become the fucking front line?
In the light of the flashbangs soaking the roses
I am no longer asking to take what is mine
We were raised with our backs against the wall
So we know what it means to have a spine
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
When the essential working class
Becomes a thing of the past
They will be judged relentlessly
By their dismissal of humanity
We're the essential working class
We toss the tear gas right fucking back
Fuck around, wait and see
We won't be going quietly
We're the essential working class
We toss the tear gas right fucking back
Fuck around, wait and see
We won't be going quietly

Obsessed
02:23
|
|||
|
Open hands and a list of demands
Our shouts bounce around stolen lands
Let's see them try to re-brand
While they're under our command
Begging for what we produce
The time has come to cut them loose
They don't need another excuse
To keep on tightening the noose
At the bottom of the pile
Lined up in single file
We wait for those on top
To send us the scraps they drop
Rotten fruit from a rotten tree
People before property
This is less than we deserve
From the people meant to serve
To be used and abused by government-funded abuse
The more that we converge
The sooner they'll lose their nerve
Ashes to ashes, we will emerge
No longer settling for being unheard
We live in an oligarchy
Masquerading as democracy
They keep us poor but it keeps us united
Single-minded, undivided
At the bottom of the pile
Lined up in single file
We wait for those on top
To send us the scraps they drop
Rotten fruit from a rotten tree
People before property

My Friend Dad

Dad's gone again, Mom said he's just a friend
Don't want to get my hopes up
This one's still pretty new
But he let me hold his mud jug for his tobacco chew
Dad's gone again, guess I'll play catch with myself
Mom said he's just a friend, but I think it's something else
Dad's gone again, guess I'll play catch with myself
Mom said he's just a friend, but I think it's something else
He taught me how to crush a can
Of beer against my head
His license got suspended
But he's got a sick moped
Dad's gone again, guess I'll play catch with myself
Mom said he's just a friend, but I think it's something else
Dad's gone again, guess I'll play catch with myself
Mom said he's just a friend, but I think it's something else
Dad's just a friend again

Love Shot
02:12

You seem to have my back more than
This wall has been for a long time
It gives me all the happiness
That I've never felt or seen with my eyes
So I'll wait for all the times
that help us decide where we stand
You don't have to take my hand
As long as you understand how much I care
Sitting across from you I know there's
A canyon that sits between us
But I would gladly walk those valleys
For the chance of meeting you below
It's enough just to move in the space
Where our worlds might embrace
And I'll wait for all the times
that help us decide where we stand
You don't have to take my hand
As long as you understand how much I care
There's no rush to this at all
Like counting rings on all the trees
And when the leaves begin to fall
I want you there with me

I can't get back the time I spent
Leeching the poison from your sighs
I'm proud to be the storm cloud
Beneath your clear blue skies
Through the countless fights
And the sleepless nights
I put up with your shit
But I'm better off not dealing with it
I know it's easier to hate you
And a waste of time to try
I'm too busy running
From what's behind your eyes
Through the countless fights
And the sleepless nights
I put up with your shit
But I'm better off not dealing with it
The world on my shoulders gone to seed
Unbent by resent for your shameless greed

I've got no goals, got no ambition
You don't know what you're missing
Rushing to post about nothing much
Must be exhausting to give such a fuck
So keep on feeling special,
They can see it's just a stunt
You might think you're successful
But I'm doing what I want
I'm doing what I want, whoa
I'm doing what I want
When fear doesn't steer
The path becomes clear
And I'm starting to enjoy my time here
Can you say the same?
So keep on feeling special,
They can see it's just a stunt
You might think you're successful
But I'm doing what I want
I'm doing what I want, whoa
I'm doing what I want
So keep on feeling special,
They can see it's just a stunt
You might think you're successful
But I'm doing what I want
I'm doing what I want, whoa
I'm doing what I want

Red eyes, I'm not surprised to be on your trail again
I should have known better when you said you were on the mend
You were the comet that burnt our skies
And please believe me when I say I prefer it that way
One too many for too many years
Well, who's laughing now?
You split in the night but hey, it's alright
I keep seeing you around
Your garden was godless, tangled, and free
All but the one thing you managed to be
In the restless fury of the mountain sound
You came so close to knowing solid ground
One too many for too many years
Well, who's laughing now?
No seat at the table for me to save
Since you went tumbling down
One too many for too many years
Well, who's laughing now?
You split in the night but hey, it's alright
I'll keep seeing you around

I pass it off and wonder
I pass it off and wonder what comes next
Is all the weight I feel
Is that what you think is the best
Is what I want so complicated
what I need feels so hated
Vindiction - Separation
doesn't cut it but fuck it ill say it
Its hard enough
To find you now
And all my thoughts of this
Just drown us out
And top be fair its not you
Its me
And to be fair its not you
Its me
Don't bother asking how I feel
Don't bother asking what is real
I counted all my burdens up
Now look oh fuck my time is up.
You could say I'm full of hated
Self concerned but dissipated
No time to take that step back
I'm moving on just to show you that
Its hard enough
To find you now
And all my thoughts of this
Just drown us out
And top be fair its not you
Its me
And to be fair its not you
Its me
I pass it off and wonder
I pass it off and wonder what comes next
Is all the weight I feel
Is that what you think is the best
Is what I want so complicated
what I need feels so hated
Vindiction - Separation
doesn't cut it but fuck it ill say it
