Varnish: the varnish is about to crack, you know this love ain't growin' back the varnish is about to peel, this is how I feel is the surface a cult you wanna breed and convey to the people in the street is the heartache truely gone, don't no one els feel this alone did the monsters creep out of your head, did they break your flesh or settle for your bed they're like cannibals you know, they'll screw you good then kill you slow when the majors get a taste of you, they will clean your bones without further ado we're all animals you know, it's just the way it seems to go and it's always like this, when you like what you do then someone comes up, and tries to make it all crap and shite for you what do you think there is to be misunderstood, I have failed your design just like I knew I would every step of the way I have tried to stay clear but you get in my face at least a dozen times a year up until this moment I have kept things in check but the next time around I will snap your fuckin' neck I'm talking 'bout the industry where I don't fit in, I'm not exceptional, I'm too conceptual you think you got a better plan, I can't understand, I'm not respectable I'm too conceptual and when I fall back, I'm gonna reach up, I'm not succeptible, I'm too conceptual I'm gonna stand out, right where you bailed out, I'm not a spectacle, I'm too conceptual for the likes of you

Go/fire: don't they get you down - go before I turn the lights out I do think 'bout what I ' done, I walk straight through the fire, I won't turn around and run before I lay my head down I will cry for where I've been, to know that I'll never claim integrity again if there's a good thing to learn about this, you'll never make it through the gist if you got fire that's all you need to list to get them tied into a twist I know it is fucked up I shoulf pelt you with a stone but everybody wants to clear the wire I know that the chaos is grafted to the bone, feelings they fan out like a pyre the ones that hurt most are your spiritual mistakes, they feel like chains you'll never shake well you can rattle at all the steps you'll never take and the jive you'll never break I know it is silly I should pelt you with a stone, the panic will swell up like a choir I see that the chaos is grafted to the bone in every new disciple that you sire just don't gauge me away - don't gauge me away

Insular: It's sometime a.m. and the day resets, I'm overmedicated and now my legs are numb I don't recall things as the days rewind, I'm roughly animated in the course of time there is a knife for everyone, there is a time to get the damage done there's only pitchblack water as far as I can see - there's only pitchblack water floodin' me (take a ride on this) I been takin' my moment and now the past ten years are gone, no I didn't progress at all I will never get of this island if I don't let you in, if I do not let you in Stereo People you said you would never lie to us, you said stereo people, just keep on dancin' for now you said you would pull us out of it, you said stereo people, just keep on dancin' for now how we all keep facin' left while the right is moving in and we just hover in the wings it's all larceny and theft the way your promises cave in and the years are running thin how the miracle wipes out, painting pledges in the rain, the artistry seems pretty faint there's no relief for all our doubts, not in the rhythm of the bane, not in the wonders of cocaine oh you said a lot of things, I thought you meant at least a few you dashed the hope, you stole the rope, you made us all a part of you ... said oh a lot of things, yeh at least a few, you dashed the hope, you stole the rope from me there would be no promise it all, if there were nothing real at stake once you pass a certain point, you're either dead or on the take

Single me out; it all feels like falling down to me you know, I'll reassemble once I get down below now I've seen how the closing heart compels, I feel like someone else making the least of your lovin' is going against your will single me out like you would, single me out it's all good, peel off all my skin it doesn't mean a thing to me, it's all good single me out like you would, single me out it's all good, crunchin' on my chest the teeth of death were kissin' me I like myself a lot better when I'm alright, I'll reconsider my attempt at suicide now I've seen how the broken heart repels, I feel like someone else I feel like someone else, if you're like someone else I feel like someone else, if you like someone

Lotuseater: to see the side of the sun, (to leave none) to eat the end of the ocean you ate the flowers, you drank the orchard, you spat out solid love you ate opinions when they were rockhard, 'til we were sound enough you ate the mountain like you would inhale but can you swallow the whale you ate the colors, you drank the dark tone, you gave us cellophane you ate assumptions when they were stonecold, 'til we were fully sane you ate the white fist like you would exhale but can you swallow the whale (you ate the lotus that you gave me) you are the blank sheet of the universe, you are the broken ring you are what happens when I close my eyes and I don't need a thing it was essential when all my breathing failed I saw you swallow the whale

Aether&Lime: aether&lime, you eat your heart out, looking for a broadcast, all your beliefs are cosmetic and your obsessions will pass now don't ask me why, we're all gonna die, aether and lime hey could you suffer in silence, you're tappin' into my natural beat, if you keep landin' your issues, you're gonna make yourself obsolete there is a verse of harmony if you forget time, there is a glorious single cause but only sometimes hey you gullible sucker, pull the fucking wool from your eyes, see the balance of emptiness versus the complications of paradise how many times you want me to beg for graceland, you ain’t no visionary, still you condescend how sick and fallible we all turn out to be, since I've invented you, you disappoint me this is not the first time you come after me, it won’t be the last time, the last time it's not the first time, it won't be the last, it's not the first time

Volcano: there's too much fire in the pit, only one way to look at it, I'm boiling cause you got me so on the rim of the volcano-o if I don't live least I won't cry about it, this is the way, these situations turn it's crystal clear, everybody better run now everything is said and done you are on the rim of the volcano, you're jumpin' in 'cause what the fuck do you know you are on the rim of the volcano, you're followin' wherever we go if you wanna dance on the ruins of the tide, you're gonna burn 'cause you got nothing real inside you're cavin' in beneath the weight you think you lift, you tear apart inside the pressures that you shift. there's too much fire in the pit, that's what you get when you digg for it, I'm boiling cause you got me so on the rim of the volcano I'm gonna settle for life, I'm gonna live more

Some Cold Ghost: some cold avarice, we were all two comma kids, the churning of the matter was heading straight for me there's one huge oversoul and a substance sevenfold, all the inner circles were shooting electricity I been feelin' both, I been feelin' both of them, I been feelin' somewhat better and far worse again it comes around and goes in the perfect simple does, if we go supernova now I will be so depressed but while we wait for signs of the somewhat other kind, go for the essentials and forget about the rest on my crumbling edifice I try to look my very best, it is marvellous, it is ridiculous the warmth creeps from my hands to find shelter in my chest, it's uncomfortable, it's uneasy as hell some cold ghost twitches at my sleeve, leavin' me no rest, no rest, lest I leave it so, lest I let it go

Hoax: Here's a good reason to be living on a limb, every other second I am throwing out, I will never get that moment again I take a good fire and I set it to my fate, I better grab a hold of all the good things because they never come to those who wait who knew there was a better use for the same theme, don't play that trick on me again, I'll be droppin' out of the program before it takes me in who knew there was a better use for the same theme, you best stop pushin' me about, I'll be jumpin' into some real life before it boots me out and I decided I can't stay yellow forever, I'm gonna hold on to the thin air and breathe some chunks of night, you know I can afford to die and death sticks on my skin, it's a steel stare on my spirit, all perfect days and nights from now on, I could never go for less, no I could never go for less it's just a fucking hoax, that was my heart you were grinding

Is this audience electric?: is this audience electric, will I feel these things like you do, can my replacement heart be broken is this audience electric, will you whisper my name in the dark, and who will find these loving arms (loving or leaving it, making or breaking it, living it up to the minute and taking it, it all stays the same here) we made Earl on an off night, but no one took the time to explain these things to him we made sure he was alright, at least half the time he said: don't you worry about me, I'll be fine yes I'll be fine, it all stays the same here what the fuck was the deal, I'm a circuit freak with a lovin' streak, I can lie, I can hate, but I can't seem to earn your love the things I wouldn't do, the pain I'd put myself through, just to have you near, it all stays the same here
