Confessor

Okay I confess
Where do I begin?
My heart is drenched in blood, I’m almost ready to be born again
I don’t believe in kid stuff. No dirty tricks
But I’ll try anything once
It’s all that I do
All my little sins
Gather to me now
When I hold you in the light you’re really nothing to go on about
Minor indiscretions. I could run my mouth
I never hurt anyone
Though I tried to
I know there’s no forgiveness but punish me until I can’t tell the difference
One’s telling a lie
One’s telling the truth
You’d better leave a mark, a souvenir so I’ll remember you
And when I cry out for mercy, won’t you sing in tune?
The only song I know
Now it belongs to you

No One Will Dance

Here’s the empty lot from when we were kids
Looking nothing like I remember it
But time is cruel, always playing tricks
And so were we
Bunch of little boys scratching in the dirt
Like the lord of the flies moved to the suburbs
Playing hide and seek everybody scatters
To the count of thirty
Any minute now they will find me
But they left me out there, guess they thought it’d be funny
Felt the dusk creep in with the consciousness
They will turn on you and you’ll never see it coming
I thought I’ll show them, with a matchbook
I went and burned down the field
Trying to fake my own death
I will start a fire no one will get warm to
Back at the empty lot, now a bottomless pit
With a barbed wire fence courtesy the government
But I learned a lot from the incident
Like how to carry yourself
Like you are holding a hostage
How to sing a song that no one will dance to
A door opened up
Between below and above
And there I was staring back at me
Here you thought you could be one of them
You thought that you’d join the crowd
Hate to be the one to break it to you
I will try to let you down easy
Easy now
Anything you want I am in the way
I’m never gonna let you win
You can thrash about and curse my name I say keep it coming
And just when you thought you’d shake me off I just claw my way back in
And it starts again

New Wife
02:48
|

It’s a long time since you heard from me
Fell off the face of the earth
And I couldn’t stick the landing
I think the last time, our anniversary
At the liquor store
You pretended not to see me
Anyway I’ve got a new wife and she is good to me
Runs her hands through my hair
Makes the coffee in the morning
Yeah I think my new life is shaping up for me
There’s only this one thing
Tell me you want me
To die in a farming accident
So you can pretend you don’t care
That’s you all over isn’t it?
Yeah sure I will leave you alone
Just tell me that you never miss this
I hear you’ve got a new friend
Whom I’d like to meet
Do you keep him under your thumb?
Yeah I heard he dresses like me
Oh my god it’s such a long life
Glad I lived to see
How I look to a stranger
Tell me you want me to jump off
Oh nevermind
I hope you’re happy baby
I’ll never call you again
The ouroboros made me
It’s always starting where it ends
But if you like this you should see me
making amends

Like to welcome you to the underground
Just make yourself at home
But careful on the staircase now
We don’t know where it goes
Once saw a boy fall in and we still hear him
Howling from below
That was years ago
Hear how much he’s grown

Mind of God
03:53
|

I stew awhile in my thoughts
Stir my drink with my straw
Read the room
I am not so different
I only want what everyone wants
To be admired, recognized in restaurants
Pick a fight, any fight
And come out on top
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now
That I am making moves?
Looking up to get a load
Of this asshole drinking alone
I hear him say how we’re all
Just a synapse in the mind of God
I say you’re close but no cigar
I will tell you what we are
A single turd in satan’s entrails
We’ll all float on alright
And here I’d found my easy target
Draw me a picture of where your god lives
I’ll dig a gravesite in your garden
To bury you I will bury you
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now
That I have made my move?
And I guess I made a scene
Because the chatter died
And the whole room is looking at me
I take my coat there’s nothing here to see
I can’t help myself I just get carried away
I can’t hide myself when the blood moves to my face
Life’s a joke that I tell getting older everyday
Like a wedding cake left out
It will all just go
It all just goes to waste

Omni/Impotence
03:59

There’s no water to weep
But I’ll keep my head bowed religiously
As I stare directly into my future
Not looking pretty
You want proof? I’ll do anything.
If it’s the truth I will tell it incidentally
But I need you to know I don’t need you
Why don’t you believe me?
Hmm
For this last one
I’m gonna need
Volunteers if you please
Watch me closely as I turn something
Back to nothing
Que sera, c’est la vie
I tried living it was not for me
But I wish I could be there to see how you take the news
I am giving up the world and then I’m ready to dance
__
I take it back
I wasn’t ready yet
But if I was stronger
If I was stronger
If I was stronger
If I was stronger
If I was stronger
I might be dangerous

Okay that’s all there is
Don’t think too harshly of me
I have been unwell I was just looking for the remedy
But nothing ever ends here
There’s no relief
And you’re useless to me now
You’ve caught the same thing

Up Again
04:18
|

Here you thought you’d put the past behind you
Why does it all keep coming up again?
Doubled over in the bathroom crying
Why does it all keep coming up again?
Like a tourist coming home everything how you left it
And you thought you’d put the past behind you
Why does it all keep coming up again?
Toss and turn until the nightmare finds you
Why does it always wake you up again?
You stumble out of bed reaching for your medicine
Yeah you thought you’d put the past behind you
Why does it all keep coming up again?
Out your window see the graveyard rising
It’s alive - they’re all just coming up again
Oh god now they’re heading this way
It’s the dark night of the living dead
And you’re losing your head
You go for your phone
As the sleeping pills start kicking in
And the room starts to spin
You think to yourself
This isn’t how it’s supposed to happen
But you got what wanted
Yeah they all want you now
The pale faces looking in
And this where we leave you
It won’t come up again.
