Everything Is Burning
04:23
|
|||
One, two, three I force myself to be still
Haunted by hate inseminated by greed, corruption
And neoconservative pilgrims
Your alchemy, alchemy can’t help me when
Everything is burning
I dream gunfire but I’m not sleeping
The bloodshed, the lies
Everything is burning
In this heat I believe there is no future
Control and fear killing queers, Santa Claus, dictators
I was God, I was love, now I’m bleeding
Oh alchemy, alchemy can’t help me when
Everything is burning
I dream gunfire but I’m not sleeping
I fear outside
Everything is burning

Dead In This House
04:48
|
|||
You’re in the dark
Just you and anger
Your oldest friend
Your closest lover
Show them your art
Show them your alchemy
Your addictive viral
Euphoric raging need
Kick down the door
Kick through the pain
You’ve been talking to the wall
Everybody is dead in this house
Kick down the door
Kick through the pain
You never wanted to be born
Everybody is dead in this house
You think too much
Mind over muscle
You keep seeing those dancing stars
They’re all just idiots and whores
You cannot trust
The world’s just trouble
Any chance you get – destroy
Take everything back to the start
Kick down the door
Kick through the pain
You’ve been crawling up the wall
Everybody is dead in this house
Kick down the door
Kick through the pain
You never wanted to be born
Everybody is dead in this house

Triggers
04:18
|
|||
Everywhere triggers
The screaming crows
People inside me
People I don’t want to know
Everywhere haters
Idiot heroes
The sun comes today but
The devil comes tomorrow
My whole life I thought
I would know what to say
But the darkness of reality
Has stolen that away
You may lock your doors
You will never keep them out
Everywhere triggers
Everywhere drought
Everywhere killing
The storm never ends
Oil fields of fire
And fucking head-chopping mad men
Everywhere fucking
Hyper-arousal
Small town cages and boredom-bred sorrow
And northern-bred hooligans
We work for freedom
The freedom to be
Proud consumers with all our
Perfect little trophies
You may lock your doors
You will never keep them out
Everywhere triggers
Everywhere drought
There’s orchids around me
Twisted and blood-drenched
Everywhere chaos
Freak shows and drug fiends
I see the world out there
through my titanium god
Everywhere triggers
Feeding the black dog
The shadows are talking
In razor sharp tongues
Over in the corner there
I mistook them for someone

Scars
04:24
|
|||
And though I have these scars
I hold no grudges, it’s my destiny
I got so used to winning
And now I do my best baby
To take it on the chin
I’ve made mistakes
But I’m not haunted
Because your love gives me the strength
Sometimes I lose my focus
And my core beliefs just overpower me
But the truth is I need others
To find the will
To find the point in anything
|
||||
5. |
||||
You took me on, you forced my hand again
Holding the rope, holding everything
Only the bravest girl would sit through this
Only the darkest German confidence
I guess if I’m breathing this is not the end
I guess if I love myself I have a friend
Oh and if there’s nothing left I have your voice
Talking me into sleep, into the void
We laid in the sand, the salt breeze in our eyes
Telling our stories with unspoken signs
Waves of old tension still controlling us
Waves of a new life slowly calming us
|

Eternity
04:22
|
|||
I think I cannot fight
The arrogant child
Inside me
The habits and the crossed wires
Unstable desires
Are digging so deep
I think I am unsound
Because the baggage I carry around
Is a contagious disease
So come
Eternity
Come, come eternity
Complete me
And though I thought that I
That I would always find
A secret place to sleep
That I could just create
My own little perfect fate
But it’s so incomplete
Now I look out into the stars
Into the endless desert calm
To try to tame the beast
Eternity, can you complete me?

Turning Crimson
02:43
|
|||
Oh my am I turning crimson
Thinking of all the criminal minds and blood spilt
Time to scream, time to pay
But I don’t want to pay
Ill-informed wills to power
Pushing children and mothers to murder
At last, at least some reaction
Some reaction
I will lock the doors to this house
Keeping the vermin out until I feel safe
Until I feel something
I feel nothing

4AM
Raging hard
And I feel like I’m a child again
Neon streets
I’m so high
I can’t quiet my bionic mind
North star, I need you to guide me home
North star, I want you to guide me home
I need help
I’ve seen bad things
and I cannot make them disappear
I want flesh
To bring me happiness
‘cause I feel nothing, I feel nothing
North star, I need you to guide me home
North star, I want you to guide me home
It’s the blue hour again
In the world there is a horror of plagues
Do you still love me?
Stand tall, shoulders back, feeling brave
Who am I? Who am I?
There’s dirt under my feet, a breeze across my cheeks
Scorpions in the sand
I can feel them, I can feel them
Reprogram, repeat
I am real, I am good
|

||||
Worship the screen
Cocksucker lies
There’s a stream of middle-class hypocrisy tonight
Every time we beg for the rich man to provide
There’s countries to be conquered
People to divide
Oh cruel darkness, want you to embrace me
It’s a fucked up world and it’s driving my poor heart crazy
We’re all sleepwalking
The American Dream
In a loop of building the cage and burying the keys
There’s only good and bad, there’s nowhere in between
Everybody loves to judge
Everybody thinks they’re clean
Oh cruel darkness, want you to embrace me
It’s a fucked up world and it’s driving my poor heart crazy

I need help
I’ve seen bad things
and I cannot make them disappear
I want flesh
To bring me happiness
‘cause I feel nothing, I feel nothing
North star, I need you to guide me home
North star, I want you to guide me home
It’s the blue hour again
In the world there is a horror of plagues
Do you still love me?
Stand tall, shoulders back, feeling brave
Who am I? Who am I?
There’s dirt under my feet, a breeze across my cheeks
Scorpions in the sand
I can feel them, I can feel them
Reprogram, repeat
I am real, I am good

12. |
||||
I know I’ll never feel the same
I know I may never accept the change but I want
Happiness
I’m staring blank at my screen
Waiting for a sign, waiting for a smile to come to me
Happiness
Every day the news is death
You power drunk fuckers are filling my head with despair
Not happiness
Liars
Maybe I became too clean
Maybe the drugs are the only way to be free
Happiness
No breaking the anxiety
The man that I tried to but could never be faded out
With happiness
Everday hypocrisy
I see the zombies walking down the street and it kills me
Their happiness
Liars

13. |

Look outside, the wilderness
The wilderness is calling our names
The blackest skies, the daunting stars
The desert sun melting our cold hearts
If you feel like the spark has gone
We just need a place where we can belong
Look outside at raw beauty
The good work of a billion years
The blackest wine in front of me
Drink up little boy and wash down your tears
Los Angeles you took care of me
I raise my broken glass to your sanctuary
