Brighter souls have stripped me of my worth.
Tangible, yes but only at first.
Broken nails, tear mere holes in my earth.
Bottomless, and strange visions they birth.
Waking dream, a mirage of what was.
Fooled to think that it won't end in blood.
Hold on tight to someone.
It all flows away.
Don't fear how I'll die someday.
My life's been a fruitless waste,
and I long to see you again.
The ebb and flow of the waves in the sea...
Paints her picture,
only to mock me.
I await...
her return at the shore,
Know in my heart...
This realm holds her no more.
I long for the other side.
Hold on tight to someone.
It all flows away.
Don't fear how I'll die someday.
My life's been a fruitless waste,
and I long to feel you again.

What keeps you propped up like a man?
Is it the way you talk 'round friends?
Boys who laugh with hidden hands
You hear it when you climb in bed
The voices echo in your head
Know what you did, know what you said
I know the truth
You'll get what's due
There'll be no mercy here for you
Karma knows not sympathy
Bring me the head of the clown
Stuck on a pike o'er town
Crows nest in his crooked crown
I know the truth
You'll get what's due
There'll be no mercy here for you
Karma knows not sympathy

Storm Pill

I feel dark clouds approaching
Their clang rings a vengeful omen
And I know why they speak in frantic whispers
They don't want me to know
So take the storm pill
You don't have to feel anything real
Just close those grey eyes
...and I was falling asleep
Just as soon as my head hit the ground
There's something happening to me
But I think I'll keep it down
And I was lost in a dream
I had no will to be found
My jaw clicks
My skull, it drips
I need someone to save me from myself
Stepping over black snakes in coitus
I stop to stare, they don't seem to notice
And I know why they chose to let me watch them
They want me to know...
So take the storm pill
You don't have to feel anything real
It's just your time to die
...and I was falling asleep
Just as soon as my head hit the ground
There's something happening to me
But I think I'll keep it down
And I was lost in a dream
I had no will to be found
My jaw clicks
My skull, it drips
I need someone to save me from myself

Silver Gallows

She drove me home after the fire went out
And showed me her silver gallows
We talked until our moon came out
And reflected in the shallows
I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean
You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light
I never gave you in life and
All of the mournful gather 'round
This silver noose
I hang from still
And when you finally cut me down
Don't bury me in the garden
We both know nothing will grow there
And I need old dirt to roll in
I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean
You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light
I never gave you in life and
All of the mournful gather 'round
This silver noose
I hang from still
And I'll swing for the rest of my days
It's okay, I found rhythm to sway
