It’s not the first time
Won’t be the last one
To use a divine guise
embodying the sun
As a light for fascism blooming
But you don’t mind because he looks like us
And he talks all about serving our god
And you won’t mind if he keeps you on top
Y ou’ll just cut out your tongue
“Oh baby please, won’t you worship me
With no sense of irony
Because salvation’s new blood is running green”
But pay no mind because he’s just like us
Benefactors of genocide love
Through the eye of a needle
He’s pushing that camel
With blood covered funds
Salvation’s new blood is running green
Pay no mind because he’s just like us
Don’t you worry because he’ll keep you on top
Don’t you cry because he’ll give you a gun
To shoot down your god
And you’ll shoot him down
But I hope that you know
That there is no authority
Except for what you hand out

Wall to Wall

Was an explosion
long ago
and you should know
That everyday since then is a weight
and now its time for you to train
So here's this book and there's the road
Don't ever wonder about what you don't know
buckle down and play the role
It's the only way to gain a soul
Rules and limits are all you know
Rules and limits can help you grow!
Everything out there is stone-cold
And we all need a route to go
Cause the explosions long ago
Now have more weight to throw
So drink from the pews of vinegar
And don't go down to the river
Since your heart needs a cure,
Your own tail can be the lure
Keep running from wall to wall
Rules and limits are all you know
Rules and limits that help you grow
So keep your gaze on the castle in the sky
The dated structure of a paradise outside time

Let It Detonate

Why'd you let yourself loose them altogether?
Can't figure why I'd let myself loose them altogether
To tear my eyes back open?
All my life, I held this ball in my hand
And I believed it fit
But my fingers began to notice metal grooves
I'm discovering, the pin was pulled out long ago
And when it blew, all you disappeared
And I've been seeing all your ghosts for several years
But I actually believed
Believed you were all there
So I let it detonate?
How could I know?
I was a step behind you all
I kept my eyes on the ground in front of me
With out a clue of what you were expecting
So why?
The most selfish?
Sounds like me
Keeping you in my reality
So long after I'd left yours
because the pin was pulled

Thrown In

Shots are firing at me
I catch them all in my chest
Allowing the suffering
To let your good times be had
In your love
I was a happy drunk
But now I'm fucked up
And back in the same place
Enough is enough
With your "bad luck"
Tied up
Thrown in the deep
Can't get your knots off my hands
You're laughing
You're watching me sink
With tethered hearts in your hands

Petty Tyrant

The moon is gone
The stars are angled wrong
And what have you done?
Found out you were a thief
When my bones were licked white-clean
You had your fun
But I can see the path your walking
Straight off a cliff
And since I don't mind it, I'll stay quiet
When you find you've fallen down
Start to crawl and call right out
"They're just feelings
They mean nothing"
What's left to do?
A transformation's due
Spin lies into a cocoon
And emerges a beautiful petty tyrant
You're the king of the world
With nothing at all
And no one to pretend you love
They're just feelings
And they mean nothing
