The Long Goodbye


Think what it means to be killing time
+
And all the things that you left behind
+
We're on a clock and that's the crux
+
Time is the embrace that quietly kills us
+
Right now, death walks with me
+
Right now, arm in arm, she'll kiss me
+
Blasted hopes of missed connections
+
Right now, owning your obsessions
+
Last chance, the end is closer
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Don't know where to begin
+
Where did it go in the end?
+
The world is getting older
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Too late the body's colder
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Day-by-day, I lose track of time
+
The rituals of my daily grind
+
Authentic in it's mediocrity
+
Sense of time disappearing
+
Right now, time slips with me
+
Right now lost, I'm drifting
+
It's hard to live the long goodbye
+
Right now, that's no way to die
+
Last chance, the end is closer
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Don't know where to begin
+
Where did it go in the end?
+
The world is getting older
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Too late, the body is colder
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
The world is getting older
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Too late, the body's colder
+
Right now, my grip
+
Right now, time slips
+
Right now, always
+
Right now
+
Right now
+
Last chance, the end is closer
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Don't know where to begin
+
Where did it go in the end?
+
The world is getting older
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Too late the body's colder
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
The world is getting older
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Too late, the body's colder
+
Feels like the memory's over
+
Hard to live the long goodbye
+
That's just no way to die
+
There's nothing left except
+
Memories
+
Where did it all go?

It's For the Kids


I'm sticking to the plan, never improvise
+
Cut off all attachments; I cross the line
+
Empathy is weakness, and I don't give a shit
+
An economy of aggression, no throat left unslit
+
It's for the kids beyond repair
+
Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
+
You never change one goddamn thing
+
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing
+
I don't need answers; I just want blame
+
I point the finger and blacken a name
+
You make it easy by showing your cards
+
Endowed by nature, shaped by nurture, hits you f*cking hard
+
It's for the kids beyond repair
+
Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
+
You never change one goddamn thing
+
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing
+
It's for the kids beyond repair
+
Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
+
You never change one goddamn thing
+
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing
+
You crossed the line, and the smell of death is on you
+
You crossed the line, and the worst is yet to find you
+
Spit your lies; we're all gonna die (Die)
+
Nobody cares and the truth is hard and cold
+
For all of us beyond repair
+
Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
+
You never change one goddamn thing
+
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing
+
Nothing
+
Nothing

Everybody's Got A Plan


Everybody's got a plan
+
That's until they get punched in the face
+
In the face
+
As a lot, we've not learned much
+
As a lot, we're barely hit or miss
+
Hit or miss
+
Great events turn on small hinges
+
Busy ripping out each other's throats
+
Bloody throats
+
Ignorant static, malignant noise
+
Turn down the volume on your master's voice
+
Birds of a feather, doomed from the start
+
Birds of a feather, it all falls apart
+
Chaos waits at every turn
+
Only there to confuse and distract
+
Anti-facts
+
Cancer spread by politricks
+
The incapacitated get the axe
+
Get the axe
+
Great events turn on small hinges
+
Busy ripping out each other's throats
+
Bloody throats
+
Ignorant static, malignant noise
+
Turn down the volume on your master's voice
+
Birds of a feather, doomed from the start
+
Birds of a feather, it all falls apart
+
We put the sharpest knives (we put the sharpest knives)
+
We put the sharpest knives (we put the sharpest knives)
+
In the hands of children (in the hands of children)
+
We put the sharpest knives
+
And they cut
+
And they cut
+
Everybody's got a plan
+
That's until they get punched in the face
+
In the face
+
As a lot, we've not learned much
+
As a lot, we're barely hit or miss

+
Busy ripping out each other's throats

Ignorant static, malignant noise

Turn down the volume on your master's voice
+
Birds of a feather, doomed from the start
+
Birds of a feather, it all falls apart
+
Birds of a feather, so f*cked together
+
Birds of a feather and nobody cares

The Edge of Perfection


(Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa)
+
The damage I've caused, the reasons I've forged
+
A psychopaths disharmony
+
Useless feelings, blunted and mean
+
Sanity's not what it seems
+
With every breath I take, every choice I make
+
I won't die on this hill, no, I won't
+
With every breath I own, turning every stone
+
I have no bones left to throw
+
Feels like I'm digging a hole in the ocean
+
Tunneling into the sea
+
My heart, my heart breaks
+
It's on me, can't you see?
+
It's my addiction
+
My heart, my heart breaks
+
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge of perfection
+
Self-aware to the point of obliteration
+
A psychopath's luck, the mind sways
+
The cold and hard truth, with so much to lose
+
Nobody's coming to save you
+
With every breath I take, every choice I make
+
I won't die on this hill, no, I won't
+
With every breath I own, turning every stone
+
I have no bones left to throw
+
Feels like I'm digging a hole in the ocean
+
Tunneling into the sea
+
My heart, my heart breaks
+
It's on me, can't you see?
+
It's my addiction
+
My heart, my heart breaks
+
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge of perfection
+
(Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa)
+
My eyes, my eyes
+
Are failing
+
The glaring unknown
+
Dethroned
+
By waves of grief that grind me with their teeth
+
Their teeth
+
My heart, my heart breaks
+
It's on me, can't you see?
+
It's my addiction
+
My heart, my heart breaks
+
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge of perfection
+
(Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa)

Infectious


I am a dark man, full of tricks to get over
+
I give you the slip so I can drink till I'm sober
+
I couldn't resist, it's not enough to exist
+
Cut you off at the wrist, my smile, it's infectious
+
A nihilistic crew of apocalyptic morons
+
I take it personally, my world is dead and gone
+
Hey, true believer, all lit up with the fever
+
Do I make you sick? I'm an overachiever
+
Throw back and a half, yet, I'm ahead of my time
+
You know who I am, now show me the crime
+
I ain't no demographic, it's more of a disposition
+
I take it personally, this whole head-on collision
+
Would you believe if I told you my solution?
+
Would you believe in my public execution?
+
I'm coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
+
Take a good look at my smile, it's infectious
+
It makes me so happy 'cause the things I despise
+
Made you believe all the noise and lies
+
Second hand fables and some hand-me-down myths
+
Were a brilliant conceit of my infectious smile
+
Did you believe there was a chance for me to start things over?
+
I take it personally, I know there is no closure
+
Would you believe if I told you my solution?
+
Would you believe in my public execution?
+
I'm coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
+
Take a good look at my smile it's infectious
+
I never take it personally
+
Just like a dunce of the confederacy
+
I'm coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
+
Take a good look at my smile, it's infectious
+
Sorry, I'm not sorry, I'm just sick with irony
+
Step inside my Rorschach test, and tell me what you see
+
I never take it personally, dripping in my sincerity
+
I wanna be the one to let it go
+
Would you believe if I told you my solution?
+
Would you believe in my public execution?
+
I'm coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
+
Take a good look at my smile, it's infectious
+
I never take it personally

NYC 93


4:00 AM, New York City
+
1990-whenever
+
A perfect time and place where you could still get lost
+
My world was mad and I don't mean angry
+
The days were short and so was my money
+
I'd never been so awake in my whole life
+
My whole life
+
Like a candle about to set fire to a curtain
+
Always with me, chaos theory was certain
+
Let me wallow, let me drown
+
The Green Manalishi with the black tooth crown
+
If this is the end, I gave it my best
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
Knocked out cold when I opened the door
+
Think tank, brain trust, whiskey head floor
+
Innocence is overrated
+
Monster created
+
Like a candle about to set fire to a curtain
+
Always with me, chaos theory was certain
+
Let me wallow, let me drown
+
The Green Manalishi with the black tooth crown
+
Enough skeletons to fill Père Lachaise
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
We are here to take every chance
+
And live our days so hard until death takes our last breath
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
It ain't worth doing unless you do it to death
+
Oh, do it (do it, do it)

Cursum Perficio


Do you wish you'd lived your life less the idiot?
+
And what would your life have been not playing the fool?
+
Raise your veil of misery, how long have you been asleep?
+
The weight of it all on your shoulders just to exist
+
Lift the veil, the vast scale
+
Sharpening your eyes to points
+
Don't sleep and dream about it
+
A matter of choice
+
'Cause now it's over
+
The journey's over
+
And now it's over
+
Your journey's over
+
History through damaged lens sanctioning your fear
+
An endless momentary lapse of reason disappears
+
Which is worse, the pain of knowing or the ignorance of not?
+
With the weight of it all on your shoulders, there's no room for chips
+
Lift the veil, the vast scale
+
Sharpening your eyes to points
+
Write an end to the nightmare
+
A matter of choice
+
'Cause now it's over
+
A vital crucial moment signified
+
The journey's over
+
The threads that hold it all together
+
And now it's over
+
A vital crucial moment signified
+
Your journey's over
+
The threads that hold it all together
+
Your presence, quintessence
+
There's no good, no joy at all
+
Failure in every success
+
So choose to change
+
Rise
+
Rise
+
Rise, laughing at the odds, you gotta rise
+
Perpetrated language by design
+
A vital crucial moment signified
+
And death should tremble to take you
+
'Cause now it's over
+
A vital crucial moment signified
+
The journey's over
+
The threads that hold it all together
+
And now it's over
+
A vital crucial moment signified
+
Your journey's over
+
The threads that hold it all together
+
Your presence, quintessence
+
There's no good, no joy at all
+
Success in every failure
+
It's always been your choice

Do you wish you'd lived your life less the idiot?
+
And what would your life have been not playing the fool?
+
Raise your veil of misery, how long have you been asleep?
+
The weight of it all on your shoulders just to exist
+
Lift the veil, the vast scale
+
Sharpening your eyes to points
+
Don't sleep and dream about it
+
A matter of choice
+
'Cause now it's over
+
The journey's over
+
And now it's over

Your journey's over

History through damaged lens sanctioning your fear

T.O.M.B.


One time
+
Hell yeah, we had some fun just like a loaded gun
+
Put two in your head, trigger finger fun
+
I'm not an easy mark, you're the fatal spark
+
Fool's comfort in our foxhole prayers
+
I stole the silver off a dead man's eyes, what could go wrong?
+
Three can keep a secret if one's alive, raise the alarm
+
This time I'm
+
Locked in with a murder of bros, putting the stink on the rose
+
Up for grabs, all-in, ain't too on the nose
+
And when things get dark, you're the blazing spark
+
Fool's comfort in our foxhole prayers
+
I stole the silver off a dead man's eyes, what could go wrong?
+
Three can keep a secret if one's alive, raise the alarm
+
I'm going to hell and it's from within
+
And I know your name, Demon, it's who I am
+
Standing at the center of magic and mundane
+
Time to get with me or get out of my insane
+
I stole the silver off a dead man's eyes, what could go wrong?
+
Three can keep a secret if one's alive, raise the alarm
+
I stole the silver off a dead man's eyes, what could go wrong?
+
Three can keep a secret if one's alive, raise the alarm

Watch It Go


The death of truth is drawing near
+
My way is so crystal clear
+
No love becomes fear, fear becomes hate
+
Traitors and hypocrites all can relate
+
Ah, Hell awaits
+
Reap what you sow, sow what you reap
+
Bartering evil as necessary
+
By any means
+
(Watch) there's no way to reason
+
(It) with the wrong side
+
(Watch) of history and treason
+
(It) the dream has died
+
(Go) so strong in your beliefs
+
It's hard to imagine
+
(Watch) the hell that I intend
+
(It) a means to an end
+
(Go)
+
Belief in non-reality
+
Defended more violently
+
No love becomes fear, fear becomes hate
+
Traitors and hypocrites all can relate
+
Ah, Hell awaits
+
Reap what you sow, sow what you reap
+
Bartering evil as necessary
+
By any means
+
(Watch) there's no way to reason
+
(It) with the wrong side
+
(Watch) of history and treason
+
(It) the dream has died
+
(Go) so strong in your beliefs
+
It's hard to imagine
+
(Watch) the hell that I intend
+
(It) a means to an end
+
(Go)
+
From sea to f*cking shining sea
+
Home of the brave, land of the free
+
Screwed by the system you put into place
+
What did you get? Kicked in the face
+
Born of violence, our manifesto
+
Watch it go
+
(Watch) there's no way to reason
+
(It) with the wrong side
+
(Watch) of history and treason
+
(It) the dream has died
+
(Go) so strong in your beliefs
+
It's hard to imagine
+
(Watch) the hell that I intend
+
(It) my means sure to end
+
(Go)
+
From sea to f*cking shining sea
+
Home of the brave, land of the free
+
Screwed by the system you put into place
+
What did you get? Kicked in the face
+
Divided by race, political schemes
+
Not my American dream
+
Born of violence, our manifesto
+
Watch it go
+
Born of violence, our manifesto
+
Watch it go
+

My Victory


Who I am - who I am
+
Never afraid to cross the line
+
Without you or with you
+
I own my shit I decide
+
It works for me it works for me
+
I scream so hard my throat bleeds
+
Yeah if you want to, if you need to, it ain't no mystery
+
Satiric, so Pyrrhic
+
My victory
+
Who are you? Who are you?
+
Can you win the hearts and minds
+
Without me or with me
+
Get it all in and I decide
+
It works for me it works for me
+
I scream so hard my throat bleeds
+
It works for me it works for me
+
I scream so hard my throat bleeds
+
Yeah if you want to, if you need to, it ain't no mystery

Satiric, so Pyrrhic
+
My victory
+
Yeah if you want to, if you need to, it ain't no mystery

Satiric, so Pyrrhic
