Vicarious

Eye on the T.V
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be

Like:
?Killed by the husband?
?Drowned by the ocean?
?Shot by his own son?
?She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye?
That?s my kind of story
It?s no fun til someone dies

Don?t look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other

Stare like a junkie
Into the T.V
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky, crying
?Why, oh why ??

Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need and choose your own lie

Why can?t we just admit it ?
Why can?t we just admit it ?
We won?t give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the stories told
We won?t give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so

Why can?t we just admit it ?

Blood like rain falling down
Drawn by grave and ground
Part vampire, part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Still have the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La la la la la la la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
But pull your head on out you hippies
and give a listen
Shouldn?t have to say it all again

The universe is hostile,
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it?s always been

We all feed
On tragedy
It?s like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

Jambi

Here from the king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan i do
On treasures and flesh never few
But I... I would
Wish it... all away
If I... thought I'd
Lose you just one day

The Devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drown
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up turned me round

so i.. i.. i.. i...
i would, i would, i would
wish this all away

live like a martyr dusk to dawn
beg like a hooker all night long
tempted the devil with my song
and got what i wanted all along

but i, i would, if i could, i would
wish it away, wish it away
wish it all away
wanna wish it all away

no price you could hold sway
or just to find my, kneeling away my, saturn
so if i could i would wish it all away
if i thought tomorrow would take you away
you my piece of my mind, my own, my saturn
just trying to hold on... one more day

Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes if they should
compromise our hope
or what you need
if i believed it
i might as well be gone

shine on forever
shine on benevolent son
shine on upon the broken
shine on until the two become one
shine on forever
shine on benevolent son
shine on upon the severed
shine on until the two become one

divided and we will wither away
divided and we will wither away
shine on upon the many
light a way benevolent son

brave in you
young brave in you
young brave in you
young brave in you
you're so as one survived
another day in [seasons]
silently just say your prayers
silently just stay out of my way

Wings For Marie (Part 1)

you. you...
you believed in moments not conceived
you believed in me
a patient in spirit
uncompromise
without us in your heart
a light in your eyes that ends all lies

vacant, broken
fell in pains [?]
will you pray for me soon [?]

what have I done to be a son to an angel
what have I done
to be worthy

daylight dims
leaving cold flouresence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this selfish question but
don't know what to say to all these ghouls tonight
she never told a lie, but might have told a lie
but never lived one
didn't have a life, didn't have a life
but surely saved on
alright, now it's time for us to let you go

10,000 Days (Wings Part 2)

listen to the tales and romanticise
how we follow the path of the hero
boast about the day when the rivers overrun
how we rised to the height of our halo

listen to the tales as we all rationalise
our way into the arms of the savior
fading all the trials and the tribulations
none of us have actually been there
not like you

ignorant fibbers in the congregation
gather around spewing sympathy
spare me
none of them can even hold a candle up to you
blinded by choices hippocrites won't seek

but nothing but the collective judas'
who could deny you were the one who would have made it
you'll have a piece of the divine

this little light of mine
the gift you passed onto me
i'll let it shine
to guide you safely on your way
your way home

what are they going to do when the lights go down
without you to guide them home to zion
what are they going to do when the river is overrun
other than tremble incessantly

high as a wave but i'll rise on up on the ground
you are a light, and a wave, that they will only read about
i only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out
ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
you're going home

you're the only one who can hold your head up high
shake your fist at the gates saying:

i have come home now
fetch me the spirit
the son, and the father
tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
it's time now, my time now
give me my, give me my, wings

give me my
give me my wings

you are a light, a wave
that they will only read about

set as i am in my ways and my arrogance
burden of truth tossed upon non-believers
you were my witness
my eyes, my evidence
judith marie, unconditional one

daylight dims
leaving cold flouresence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this bold suggestion
should you see your maker's face tonight
look em in the eye
look em in the eye, and tell them
i never lived a lie, never took a life
but surely saved one, hallelujah
it's time for you to bring me home

The Pot

Who are you to wave your finger ?
You must have been out your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead

Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass so
Don't go tossin' your stones around

You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been

Foot in mouth and head up asshole
What you talkin' 'bout ?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out, boy

You must have been so high
You must have been so high

Steel, borrow, reefer save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung no juror with the innocent

Now you weep and chase the chosen indigo
get lemon juice up in your eye

When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high

Who are you to wave your finger ?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fuckin' hypocrite

Liar, lawyer -- mirror show me
What's the difference ?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent

NOW
you weep and chase the chosen indigo
get lemon juice up in your eye
EYE
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been

So who are you to wave your finger ?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me ?
You must have been out your mind

Weakend shades of indigo
trapped without a reason
weakend shades of indigo

Liar, lawyer, mirror
For you what's the difference
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government

NOW
you weep and chase the chosen indigo
get lemon juice up in your eye
EYE

Now when you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in bloody waters
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters

Ganja please!!!

You must have been out your mind

Lost Keys

excuse me, doctor, if you have a moment ?
barbara what's the question ?
more of a situation, a gentlemen in exam three
what is the problem ?
that is the problem, we're not sure.
got the chart?
right here.
not much here is there ?
no doctor, no obvious physical trauma. vitals are stable
name ?
no sir
someone drop him off ? maybe we can speak to them, let's get some background on this guy
no ID, nothing, and he won't speak to anyone.
well then let's say hello

good morning i'm doctor Lawson. how are you today ? how-are-you-today ?
look son you're in a safe place we wanna help in whatever way we can, but
you need to talk to us, we can't help you otherwise
what's happened ?
tell me everything.

Rosetta Stoned

All righty then. Picture this if you will.
Grabbed at 2am and actually eating a, you know a box of crispy cremes,
I might need as I approach area 51 contemplating the hoax
whether people think that we've just been inflated
split, the skylight will fill
Never really expect to see in a place like this
diamond ??? right on my birkenstock and I begin limping
holy fucking shit
fuck you
the day I took my
some kind of blue green wacky shit
my bug eyes, my naked jaw upper lip
all I could think was
I hope a ???
??? my fucking ass

so light his way
like an apparition and you have me crying out
fuck me, sodomy, dead head, killing spree, lot of problems, on top of me, got me singing
can't motherfucking see ???
and after calming me down with some orange slices and some ??? pudding
He revealed to me a
singular purpose, he said you are the chosen one.
The one who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not
They need a chosen one
They chose me
and I didn't graduate from fucking high school
She'd better listen
We're sonoferous
don't even know what that means
must remember to write it down,
this is so real,
see my heart is burning
cause this shit never happens to me
can't breathe, right now, it was so real
Like I woke up and walked around
somewhat terifying
I don't want to be alone when I tell this story
and can anyone tell me why ? peanuts dance ?
will I ever be coming down
this is so real, finally it's my lucky day
see my heart is racing
cause this shit never happens to me
can't breathe right now
you believe me down't you, please believe what I just said
see they're telling true
and this wasn't all in my head
see they took me by the hand and invited me right in
and they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin
Strapped down to my bed, feet cold and eyes red, I'm out of my head, am I alive am I dead, can't remember what they said god damn shit the bed
High and I ... (r?p?ter)
Move about as one would be placed in my position,
such a heavy burden now to be the one
born to bear and read to all
the details of our ending
to write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot the pen, shit the bed again typical
strapped down to my bed, feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head am I alive am I dead,
sunkist and sudafed gyroscopes infra red, won't help, brain dead, can't remember what they said.
god damn shit the bad
IIIIIII can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to me, made out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said

oh no, help now
God damn shit the bed

Intension

pure as we begin
pure as we come in
pure as we begin
you know we're alone

pure as we begin
heavy as a stone
gather something
shelter turns to home

pure as we begin

Right In Two

angels on the sideline
puzzled and amused
why did Father give these humans free will ?
now they're all confused

don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around ?
playing in this holy garden, silly old monkeys
well there's one who's bound to divide it
right in two

angels on the sideline
baffled and confused
father blessed them all with reason
and this is what they choose
monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground

silly monkeys given thumbs
they forge a blade
and then theres one bound to divide it
right in two
right in two

monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground
silly monkeys give them thumbs
they make a club
and beat their brother down
how they survive so misguided is a mystery
repugnant, dismal creature who would squander
the ability to live, to die, and have a conscience

brothers sleep inside here

cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two

fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
fight over life, over blood, over air
fight over love, over sun, over another
fight each other, over

angels on the sideline again
been so long with patience and reason
angels on the sideline again
wondering when this tug of war will end

cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
cut it all right in two
right in two
right in two
