They Live

some things we carry with us always
some things become a part of you
some things we carry with us always
these parts and pieces become part of you
dance with me
hear and see
what lives beneath
it's not what it looks like
government
seize and control
beckoning your mind
is this what your life is for?!
dance with me
hear and see
what lives beneath
they know where you are going
it is only in your mind
they are listening to your conversations
And as we set our sails to a better place
I feel the sea mist spitting on my face
dance with me
hear and see
what lives beneath
it's not what it looks like
religion
seize and control
beckoning your mind
is this what your life is for?
dance with me
hear and see
what lives beneath
they know where you are going
it is only in your mind
they are listening to your conversations
the whole god damn nation tuned in to one station
tuned in to one station to rot.

The Witch Is Dead
03:48
|
|||
|
our village has been plagued
ravaged by idle beings
we could have been so great
but we blindly point at witches
distractions are in this town
in the evil spirit we can drown
the witch! she's dead!
her evil's stopped our evil's worse.
our blame around her neck.
we have stupid problems here,
i'm sure that you do too
instead of solving anything we find
scapegoats who we threw
under the flowing tides of hate
evil witchcraft is to blame
dispel the evil wizard’s game
blindly pass away the shame
the witch!
now all the witches are dead
none of your problems are solved
you stupid fucks
your witch hunt is over.

Pinching Nerves

|
what if life is a test?
what do we do when our life is a mess?
i bear the brunt of this
as if you don't notice
i feel the nerves, they pinch
my back breaks under this stress
oh i am so pissed
why've i done this?
pinching nerves inside of me
murder my id and kill my reality
we all have the same brains
we all have the same minds
why do i feel like i'm insane?
you have your vessel, where is mine?
you all have the same brains
you all have the same minds
you all feel like i'm insane!
deal with your pain, i've got mine
l am out of this world
i have lost brain aforesaid
all of my fingers gnarled
scratching my fat swollen head
you feel all my feelings
you speak my language too
the nerves are pinching
your back is breaking anew.
I feel all your feelings
i speak your language too
the nerves are pinching
my back is broken in two.

Pathways
03:54
|
|||
|
lots of my heroes have died
they've fallen and with them they've taken their pride
a life of respect? not you. you're a joke.
they all but love you. totally irreverent.
the pathways will open to heaven and hell.
choose where you're going, they chose where you fell.
face me in hell
look inside your head, fall under our spell
wrapped in your shroud. little temple in the clouds.
trapped in your insanity.
you are not human, it's uncanny and a lie.
tell us the truth and look us straight in the eyes.
you will have to face the music
you will have to face the music
now it's time to face the music
now you'll have to face the music
trapped in my insanity
i'm trapped and i'm all alone

Corridors of the Mind
03:04
|

|
this is all a story from my mind
turn left turn right this is my daily grind
dig around let's see what we find underground
i am wandering through the corridors of my brain
i wonder if these poems mean I've gone insane again!
forward, backward, upside down
turn that deceased frown around
this is something that i have to do
facing my fears as i'm getting older
always look over both shoulders
I am always chasing you through the corridors of my mind
crawling, i am crawling through your eyes
so bleak, the emptiness i find inside
your skull, and all the writing on the walls
forever running down these halls
this has been a feature from my heart
do you have what it takes?
step by step welcome to the insane

Torch Formula

|
you've had your time to shine but it's done so give it up
puppet masters, our eyes on you. we're coming to take you down!
rain on me. your reign in terror has come to it's own bloody end.
in peace you'll rust, you'll find your rest along with the other three!
through the years
we have found
the formula
give it up!

through the years
we have found
the formula
the torch is ours!
hands up. this is a robbery. no sudden movements, or else you will get hurt.
we are taking the torch from you.
hand it over and pass it down.
remember all the good times and look around.
now you are free. do as you please
no longer chained to the ground, forever release unbound
remember us
remember our names
we'll carry the torch
we'll never extinguish the flames
