pull your punch, pick your fight
bow to the morning star, pray to the thief at night
i don’t think i’ll fit through the needle’s eye
you always bark but you never bite

what can be said that’s not been spoken, what can be that’s not been broken
who can tell me, what is fair and what is and really isn’t there
the flesh is weak and the mind is tired, the body bows to its desires
i push this thought to the back of my mind, that everyone i love will die
i believe that it’s not gonna happen to me, it’s not gonna happen to me

when i move forward i take three steps back, does the world turn on an axis or a track
there's a time and a place for everything, i get seasonal depression in the spring
when the flowers come up from their beds, they'll be laughing despite the dead
in Canada, in an old forgotten shed, there's a little girl freezing to death
in LA there's a business man in bed, he's giving and getting head yeah he's giving and getting it
there's a time and a place for everything, there's the funeral dirge there's the wedding ring
there's the way that you like to part your hair, there's the hey, hey, hey, there's tone that you use with me in the dark, there's the noise that you make when you parallel park, there's the crippling fear that you've had from the start
and you still can't shake it, you still can't fake it, you still can't break the mold
it doesn't matter how you feel, it doesn't matter what is real
the best you can hope for anyone, is a painless execution

Stray

welcome to the world you’re the newest stray dog trudging down the street with your collar hanging off
now that you’re free from your master’s reach do you ever miss it when you’re freezing, freezing in the street
did you cry all night when you realized that you can’t go back and you’re running out of time
the stray dog’s prayer is to be inside but all you’ll ever be is a wanderer in this life
created sick, expected to be well again
when your name is called don’t even think to question it
you learned to walk but now you have to crawl
the cruel master gives and then he takes it all
so shiver all day and then decide, is the mind for the body or is the body for the mind
lonely empire, shadowland into which i was born
crumbling temple, understand that i am not yours

Fair

thank god i’m awake now, the rumble strip made an awfully terrible sound
it shook my body and it shook my hands, well I don't know, am i part of a good plan
oh god is he breathing now, they found him lying face down a few yards out
they shook his body but to no avail, maybe god has a different view on what is fair
close your eyes and count to 10
hold your breath just to pretend that you are dead
do you feel close to god yet
don't worry life is short, they've always said, it always ends

Lord of Pain

lord of pain come hear my prayer
everything you do seems unfair
you know, i don't, you know
so take the sharp stone to my chest
feathered serpent, god of the dead
you know i'm sold, control
feel my muscles come undone
cosmic body stare at the sun
for too long, it's all wrong, you're too far gone
meaner than a junkyard dog
you salivate all over the lawn
go on, run home
we're all alone

I Can Hear You Laugh
03:35

don't look back, it was never really tangible, don't look back, it was only ever practical
but you were never really tangible
and you said to me that you were all that I needed and you said to me
but i don't believe it
take me down, destroy me like you've threatened (i wish you would)
or save me now, i want to be perfected (you said you could)
i can hear you laugh from the back of the room, wonder if you'd take me back if i begged for you
am i the pillar of salt or an empty tomb
well, you never let me choose, so now i don't look back
you were never really tangible, now i don't look back, you were only ever practical
you were never really tangible

Why
03:14

when your parents met it was a lonely night
they figured, yeah who cares, people get married all the time
then they made you up and they brought you home and they laid you down
and said god what have we done, what have we done
now you're a speck of dust on a floating rock
you're the fastest hand on the smallest clock
you're a vapor bird with a body cage and when you break out it'll leave everyone in pain
no god above, there’s evil all around, i think it's safe to say that i know that now
but sometimes i laugh
and sometimes i cry
and lately i've been feeling like i'll never know why

Five

red paints the roadside, nature runs its course
my lonely breather, should i have remorse
or can you say where you've gone, the upper echelon
can you say where we go, can you break the code
are we all alone
oh distant mother, where's your gentle hand
you hang stars above us and rain fire on the land
why did you make us at all, to suffer and revolt
can you call us your own, do you make us whole
are we all alone
mind over matter, body over mind, five faulty senses fuck me every time
