Everything is old The sun is never cold The world was built to last The future is the past And it’s over now Easy come and easy go What is it you think you know? Got to learn to take it slow Got to learn to let it go And love this new technology It’s become a part of me Everything’s a part of me Everything’s a part of me And everything is all I need Everything is new There is no one in you Only strings and waves An image in a cave And it’s not coming back Easy come and easy go What is it you think you know? Got to learn to take it slow Got to learn to let it go And love this new technology It’s become a part of me Everything’s a part of me Everything’s a part of me And everything is all I need

Dying Fall 03:09

Should’ve known Should’ve know by now What it is But it’s late It’s late Should’ve known it all anyway Should’ve known Should’ve know by now Why it’s here But it’s dark It’s dark Should’ve known it all from the start But I do recall living in a dying fall Brand new tune but the same old song Brand new bullets in the same old gun On the tip of your tongue Should’ve known Should’ve know by now Where it is But it’s big It’s big Should’ve known how small we really are Should’ve known Should’ve know by now What it means But it don’t But it doesn’t mean Should’ve known how to see nothing But I do recall living in a dying fall Brand new tune but the same old song Brand new bullets in the same old gun On the tip of your tongue Should have known by now

Napalm 02:43
lyrics

Assemble armies Assemble armies Call to arms Sound alarms When I’m gone Do no harm When I’m gone Drop the bomb Assemble angry men Assemble angry men Slogans in the air Poison in your ear When I’m gone Do no harm When I’m gone Drop the bomb Don’t beg don’t plead Nothings going to stop me When I’m gone Do no harm When I’m gone Drop the bomb

Procession 04:51
lyrics
buy track
Retreat Retreat Resign the pulpit on cats’ feet It couldn’t be helped You’ve lost the favor of the masses Vascular rocks once sweet molasses Catch only stick-on flies Catching at goodbye So much for the morning star Horse’s head and a pit of tar There is no pike at stake Put away your silver cup and plate As of late it seems We’re running short on hours Skin disease and burning towers Adjust to fit the screen No room for gates unseen The gatekeeper is not what he seems So much for the morning star Horse’s head and a pit of tar There is no pike at stake Rows stocked fresh with amputees Half asleep on hacked-off knees Pantomiming hunchback pleas With faces caked in salt Is anything their fault? No time to walk the burial grounds Limbo kids won’t make a sound From a sandbox sick with worms They haven’t got the terms To try and fill a speech The worst off will suck on a leech You can’t flesh out the old idea So much for the morning star There is no pike at stake

The Profiteer 03:34
lyrics

You and you and Form a queue and Step stand Step stand, forms on hand Look straight, step straight Straight ahead Are you sick or are you dead What’s that you said? Oh, my, my I think I’m seeing red What would you pay for a man who thinks like me? Fines and fees On hands and knees Am I all right? Is this right? Who is right? Let’s not fight Do I? Do I well enough? Help me well enough? I can’t think, can’t think Can’t pull the plug and sink What would you pay for a man who thinks like me? Show us your papers Show us your papers Please show us Thanks for all your concern, sir Ma’am, sir Colors blur Don’t you know what I can do? Will do to you? I decide who lives and dies I’m the man who speaks to flies

Prisons 04:36
lyrics

I gave up the sun Two eyes see as one I gave up the sea Black waters in me Don’t ask no questions They are just burdensome Don’t give no answers They are just prisons on My hand is a razor My face is a gun I gave up the moon A moment too soon I gave up my hate A moment too late Don’t ask no questions They are just burdensome Don’t give no answers They are just prisons on My hand is a razor My face is a gun What did you say when your key was in the door? Don’t ask no questions They are just burdensome Don’t give no answers They are just prisons on

Heads Won't Roll 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Three sticks in the field One man and two heels Which deserves the second look The kind and insane or the sane and the crook? Heads won’t roll Arms won’t fold No on you expected will come Fading out with no where to run Three fires in the coal One thinks he’s in control Got the good money and got the good name Addiction to nothing is one and the same Heads won’t roll Arms won’t fold No on you expected will come Fading out with no where to run In cactus lands without kings No one’s running the show If I could just own one more thing I’d pull out of this hole Whatever happened to meeting needs? Needing more is my disease Whatever happened to common sense? A constant state of more unrest Heads won’t roll Arms won’t fold No on you expected will come Fading out with no where to run

Nerves + Veins 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Nerves and veins Have brought this world to view Nothing more to you Nerves and veins Are rearranged in time Only in your mind I am what I think and I think as I’m told Repeating phrases take their toll Change the world but I can’t change my ways Turn my heart into an empty cave Nerves and veins are now your only friend No one to defend Nerves and veins will cause this world to end Nothing to pretend I am what I think and I think as I’m told Repeating phrases take their toll Change the world but I can’t change my ways Turn my heart into an empty cave Happiness is building structures Misery is finite numbers Nerves and veins Have brought this world to view Nothing more to you

No One 03:42

No one comes No one leaves No one cries No one grieves I can’t find the peace in rest I can’t find the life in death No wrath or welcome gates Fire or saints No one laughs No one screams No one hears No one sees I can’t find the peace in rest I can’t find the life in death No wrath or welcome gates Fire or saints Painted meat stripped down to bone Sunday’s best dropped in a hole No one rises No one burns No reprises No returns
