Dust up
Twilight’s rapture How is it
that it stays?
Time’s glass
A kindly pasture Honesty is all at stake
How is that it stays?
A residue it almost stains?
Head down
And I remember
Or is it
I forget?
Salad days
And new departures Were we at our best?
When I was young there was never a test, When I was young there was never a test!
As if there’s somewhere else to go As if there’s something else to say As if there’s someone else to be
It’s gone
Time’s gone
That can’t change
Elysium Forgotten chapter Another old
old cliché
How come
It’s only after
It feels so passé? It feels so passé
As if there’s somewhere else to go As if there’s something else to say As if there’s someone else to be
It’s gone
Time’s gone
That can’t change It’s gone
Time’s gone
It’s another day
Someone said something
That should have been left to rest Someone said something
That should have never been said

Nail It Through

Cross it out
Burn your eyes
Cut it out
Swallow your
Own tongue
Pretend it is still the truth
Though you don't swallow yourself
Progress is just an option Progress is not a given
Dig 'em out
Fingernails
And stuff
Them right down your throat Pretend it is still the truth Though you choke on it yourself
Progress is just an option Progress is not a given
And you lie
To your grinning self
Look out your window sky is burning The ice is at your door sea's rising When all the hate has had enough Of the world you used to love
Give up and stop trying
Nail it through
Open palms
And right
Through your bloody feet Pretend it just doesn't hurt Though you crucify yourself
And you lie
To your grinning self
Look out your window sky is burning The ice is at your door sea's rising When all the hate has had enough Of the world you used to love
Give up and stop trying
It's on your children
It's on their necks
You hung yourself
What happens next?
You hung your children
You broke their necks
What did you expect?
You went and rung their necks,
Just what did you expect?
You went and rung their necks!
Look out your window sky is burning The ice is at your door sea's rising When all the hate has had enough Of the world you used to love
Give up and stop trying

Ghost

Threatened firmament
and gold above us
I keep waiting
for stars to fall on me
Is there a difference between the icecaps melting and the dead air
of not being received
If I weren't so egocentric To want a grander ending
I'd rake my brains out
to stop thinking all day
I'd bind my ankles
to stop running away
What would they all say? Just another white man's day
Here's a token of past consequences
Set against your teeth Another basket of pretenses All the blood that's ugly -
Oh my blood that's ugly!
I see it that way
What was it then?
Oh you see it that way That was it then
I see it that way
What was it then? You see it that way
I was a ghost
A ghost with claws and all With entrails on my paws A breathless awful paunch A steroidal underscore
An ugly list of all I bought
A cutting fucking afterthought Yes, I am a ghost
Yes, I am a joke
