Your Lucky Day
03:13
|
|||
Well, aren't you lucky?
Look at all those flies you caught
Didn't even need the honey
All that piss
And vinegar never really helped
Even if that's how you always felt
But look at you now
Aren't you lucky!

Chemical Bonds
05:12
|

Chemical bonds that we cannot break
The things we smoke and pills we take
I give to you, you take away
I push, you pull, I repel, you stay
Chemical bonds that pump through our hearts
They’re the glue as we fall apart
Shot at the start, stuck on the line
Birds of a feather plucked all the time
Laws that attract, paths that repel
Powers of static that force propels
These chemicals that bond so well
Chemical bonds in lives that we’ve led
Slow down uptake, the quick end up dead
You won’t repent, I want more sin
I can’t give up, you won’t give in
We only last so long in these chemical bonds
Chemical bonds and beautiful shame
Degraded needs, violently trained
Run out of curses, too wise to pray
Under wishes gone astray

Scream All You Want
03:11
|
|||
I'm not special
I'm not well
Begging for mercy
Crying for help
Cracking from pressure
Crushing with weight
Battered and bruised
Guess what they say...
Scream all you want
Trapped in the darkness
Absent of faith
Abandoned by hope
I know my place
I'm not happy
But I'm not alone
You are here with me
This is our home
Scream all you want

No Saints Allowed
05:14
|

Nadine's keeping score
It's not like I'm keeping track
She gives me a look, when I walk through the door
That says, "I knew you'd be back"
No saints allowed
In the peep show
No saints allowed
In the neon glow
No saints but me
Her halo appears when the light shines through
When you look into the peep show, it looks into you
But not me
All the things I would do for her
On her, to her stuff
All the things she'd cry out to me
On me, about her stuff
This place is depressing
I'm still here when even the barflies have gone
Life's hard all around
Whether taking a dive
Or pulling cash from a thong
Nadine gives a wink
Grinding up and down on a pole
My heart starts to sink
I spent my last dollar an hour ago
No saints allowed
To burn a bridge like me
No saints allowed
To breathe in her heat
No saints but me
You call it a stain
I call it another satisfied customer

Sneer
03:07
|
|||
The lonely drinks at the hotel bar late at night
Sneering at the first person you can get to catch your eye
Then waving limp wristed at them
Not on purpose
But from the muscle relaxant quality of alcohol you’ve already consumed
What a long day
The wallpaper turning into topographic maps of anywhere
But in that spot with an arrow pointed at your head
Instead of saying 'you are here'
It says 'you are stuck'
And that constant humming of the lights
And the deafening pulse of your wristwatch
Despite the fact that it is digital
The bad coffee
The long stories that avoid beginnings and ends
Stains on the chairs from last week’s wedding reception
In the banquet hall where everyone sits with name-tags
And suicidal grins for a breath of fresh air
That's what has brought you to this bar this evening
The first conference of many
The smell of overcooked pasta and ketchup wafting from the flapping doors towards a giant kitchen far away from prying eyes
So you sneer
So you sneer
So you sneer at the first person you can get to catch your eye
But he didn't deserve it
And he definitely didn't deserve the faggy wave you just gave him
So you try to catch his eye again so you can sneer at him
But he won't look back
Now you look really gay
So you sneer
So you sneer

Hey man, don’t kid yourself
Everything could fall apart
Before you know
Hey man, don’t waste your time
Even when you hit the dirt
You’re not yet below
Every day is a choice
To find the signal in the noise
Every day, you’ve got a choice, man
Everyday is a choice
Let your hands be your voice
Every day, you’ve got a choice, man
Don't fall apart
Don't fall apart

Dive
04:11
|
|||
I’m up in your bag
Slapping some fannies
My boy’s out to drag
Down the stairs he rolls
And I’ve got some rags
You bring the petrol
Follow my tracks
Now we’re good to go
Sometimes...
Life’s a real dumpster fire
I let that shit slide
Come give it a try
Let’s just take a dive
Come give it a try
Up on The Block
Got a few twenties
No one is shocked
‘Cause I don’t high roll
But we’ve got the Furr
So we get some treatments
Down the hatch
Now you should know
I’m fine…
Even when life is a dumpster fire
I let that shit slide
Come give it a try
Let’s just take a dive
Come give it a try
I keep it on grind
Maybe I need to
I keep it in mind
When I’m free to roam
We’ve all got a leash
For business or pleasure
I’m not here to preach
I just let it flow
Come take a dive
Come take a dive
Come take a dive
Come give it a try

Aphotique

Un, deux, trois
Un, deux, trois
I am a beam of light
Drowning in deep water
Je suis un faisceau lumineux
Noyade dans les eaux profondes

Cold Comfort
04:12
|
|||
I looked twice
Into a crystal ball
A wall of ice
The only thing I saw
And since that night
I knew there’d be no more
So we roll the dice
and we dispossess the floor
Now we’re back where we began
Now cold comfort’s all we have
The circle is more vicious than I knew
I’m sorry it comes down to you
I looked twice
Into a crystal ball
A wall of ice
The only thing I saw
And since that night
I knew there’d be no more
So we roll the dice
We roll the dice
And we dispossess the floor
We dispossess the floor
We dispossess the floor
Roll the dice
So we roll the dice
We dispossess the floor

Shadow Blind
04:34
|
|||
Someone’s lying there beside you
Someone’s breathing in your smoke
Someone’s running through your headlights
Gasping softly as they choke
Someone’s diving out the window
Someone’s curled up in the tub
Someone’s hanging from the fixture
Shadows splattered on the wall
Blind to the shadows around you
Deaf to the noises that we make
Numb to carcasses we offer
Dead to our past mistakes

Happy Ending
04:54
|
|||
When I was underground alone
Just roots in the place I grew
Seventeen years I wait for you
In the darkness we were pushing through
Now that I’m awake and above
Outside everything I know
In moonlight you sing something
I heard in dreams long ago
