Subtract
02:39

Walking through the visions that I have in my sleep
They wake me up & keep me up no use in counting sheep
Things I have not done & the things I did too much
I should just let it all go & not be quick to judge
Call me haunted tortured beaten up inside
By my own feels my own thoughts my own tired mind
The mistakes the heartbreaks the self-destructive acts
Take me out of my own head & please let me subtract
It all began with my system creating regret
Thoughts that a child would quickly forget
Self-awareness insecurity overnight
No longer was life as simple as wrong or right
Call me haunted...
Go go just go go
Go go get out
Go go just go go
Go go get out
Call me haunted...

Only The Fool
02:26
|
|||
|
I woke up next to the preacher's wife
I try to not be to surprised with this way of life
So quiet on the pillow she's sleeping next to me
From her breathing I can hear the sounds of the sea
Last night we felt everything within us the heaven the Earth
Sunday mornings won't be what they used to be truly a second birth
I know my bible yes I know the words
I know my rival yes I know I'm cursed
I won't become a thing seriously
It's only the fool who becomes anything...
Yesterday when we fell she felt out of sorts
I had seen her gaze I had heard the reports
It's easy to be ill-suited in her kind of world
To have the kind of dreams he thought so absurd
I'm not trying to solve her problems I can't even solve my own
With the soil that I've plowed & the seeds that I've sown
I know my bible...
Is it the voice of God speaking through him when he says:
Intolerance....hate...murder....war
I kiss her warm cheek as I turn to leave
I think of her god and everything we believe
Freed from the bench into a life of real meaning
Goodbye to the church goodbye to the scheming
I open the door I walk towards the light
I feel my free will I feel divine right
I know my bible...

A Thing Of The Past
03:58
|
|||
|
Do you want to leave me this way?
Can't you see the love that you're pushing away?
All we need's a little understanding
I don't know why your look is so demanding
Girls & boys grow older by the minute
We've wasted our youth & now it's finished
I prayed that I could only see you once more
But every time I turn it's just another closed door
I'd make love to you
If you wanted me to
But that's just a dream that I had
That's a thing of the past
I don't imagine everybody's so different
But I can't find logic behind your wishes
You come to me at your convenience
Then you tell me that I don't believe in you
I don't expect you to read my mind
And now I'm here drowning in these bottles of wine
You've taken all that I ever had to offer
Now I'm drunk & alone without any lovers
I'd make love to you...
When I wake up early in the morning
I can't get you out of my mind
I drag myself down into the kitchen
But it's only your coffee cup I find
No matter how hard I try to forget
You burn back in me like a flame
I can't take much more of this confusion
I wish that I could feel more than this pain
I'd make love to you...

She's Confusion & Pain
02:27
|
|||
|
I know you baby yes I know you well
You act like your life is a burning hell
Why don't you stop with those fire alarms
'Cause you know it's so cool when you're in my arms
Your hair's a deep black & your head is the same
You look so poor when I call out your name
When I want you baby you say What are you pullin'?
What I need right now is a round heeled woman
She's confusion & pain
But she don't feel the same
She's confusion & pain
And she won't take the blame
You worship hate & all that you abhor
'Cause the world is full of greed & war
You're so damn tired when you stand on the street
But when you flash your eyes electricity
Twisting & turning just to get up to speed
You think you're so clever but not consciously
You bend over backwards under the bridge
The truth & the lies I know which is which
She's confusion & pain...
Sometimes completely unreceptive
Everything can be so darkly subjective
Today you're a high class debutante
Tomorrow you let me see your panties
Life so screwed crying with anger
Sometimes you know it's you I wanna strangle
When I'm plundering in your Garden of Eden
How I know I don't know but I know you're still breathin'
When I call you to party you say you might go
You show up in your red jumpsuit you psycho
When the beats are pumpin' you get on the floor
You're the pentagram pussy that I adore
She's confusion & pain...

Fuck You
01:54
|
|||
|
You say it's so damn easy doin' just like you
But I can't live in this perpetual zoo
I can't do what you say 'cause I can't stand your face
I can't go on living this life like you want me to
So I gotta say...
Fuck you! I know what I'm doing don't waste my life
Fuck you! I'll tell you where to go cut you with my knife
Fuck you! Don't come and criticize I've had enough
Fuck you! Stop using me and calling it love
Fuck you!
You want me to do things that I don't wanna do
You want me to live my life just like you
But it won't work you see 'cause I'm not what you think
And I'd like to run my own life 'til I'm thru
So I gotta say...
Fuck you!

Escaping To Understand
02:55
|
|||
|
I see facts
I see games
I see actions
All with help
I'm too slow
I'm too blind
I'm escaping to understand
Catching a glimpse of the world
In a second it's gone
Reality depression & love
These words I try on
I see facts...
There's always somewhere I can roam
With nothing and no one
Somehow I always end up alone
I escape I learn from the sun
Then it's your smile
It's your face
It's you
That saves me
I see facts...
The feeling comes from inside
My visions of you
That's when I no longer hide
My love it breaks through
I see facts...

Like I Once Was
02:11
|
|||
|
I know your number yes I know your name
I just wish I could remember if you feel the same
Then I could in theory pick up that phone
And ask your mama or your papa if that hottie's home
If I called you baby what would you do?
Would you talk to me or would you say go screw?
You know how I feel I got that puppy love
I wanna be happy baby like I once was
I once was with that girl I no longer mention her name
We talked we laughed sometimes we felt the same
Then one day she said her love for me was gone
I felt like such a shit for thinking she was the one
If I called you...
I was sitting on the stairs the ones leading to hell
What exactly happened there I can never tell
I was feeling something chilling like I knew it was coming
When she appeared she looked so fucking stunning
The she broke up with me
So life goes on and I wanna give you that call
Maybe ask you for a couple drinks with alcohol
Maybe have some dinner maybe go to a movie
I hope you think that that would be groovy
If I called you...

Dead Stoned Starving
03:07
|
|||
|
Forgive me if I smoke but it's all I got left
Forgive me for my anger it's in my blood my death
Forget that I don't listen I'm so easily distracted
Walk with me and try to pretend that my life is not abstracted
Forgive me when I act as if I was a boy
But life and love don't work with me so easy to destroy
The feeling of confusion it's dark and no one speaks
I suffer from delusions and there ain't no stopping me
Now it's late at night and I'm still desperately haunted
The headlights' reflections remind me I'm unwanted
Bodiless waves of death engine sounds the bell
I climb the stairs alone and dread it opens up my hell
Dead stoned starving...
I know that I seem crazy or random like a storm
But I was left abandoned by those who made me born
I didn't ask to live but I can still so slowly die
So please love me while you can fore I hit one more high
My phone is now dead I had to cut that long wire
I sit in the dark and smoke just me and the fire
Bringing the enlightened thoughts of who I really am
On the street I hear the people but I don't give a damn
And I know you tried so hard so forgive all my excuses
The hate in me won't go away and that what makes me do this
Were you careful with my feelings? Did you love with all your heart?
I can't get the intent when your love it falls apart
So run back to your mama the warmth of her bosom
I'm so far gone my mind and body are too numb
Forget that you knew me and find some happiness
I'm too tired to live I'm too weak to carry this
Don't cry in your pillow like this was some doomed love
My hands are too hard and sore for those kid gloves
I'm tied up in tarot fortunes blown in lost dreams
I can't buy the delusions I can't get off the G
When your conscience tells you that palace is fake
You wake up and see nothing left to forsake
I can't never be your lover I ain't no Apollo
I'm big asshole like Pablo Picasso
Dead stoned starving...
Maybe I'm too real I just can't forge this
Don't come to me like you're some kind of reformist
Women could not resist that Pablo Picasso
Personality don't matter when you got the chirazo
But I can't create I have no art or integrity
I'm only the best at being my own enemy
So cut another picture out of your teen magazine
Why the hell it means something remains to be seen
There ain't no frog there ain't no Prince Charming
Only me in the dark dead stoned and starving
Dead stoned starving

Babble In The Water
03:16
|
|||
|
The piggy turns chaotic division & selfishness into political ideology
The piggy shades the truth & skirts the law
The arbiter of the End of days
Maybe if I babble I'll be able to unravel
All the shit that's hung up inside my head
But baby if you babble won't your mind also unravel
Then you'd have no hang ups because then you'd be dead
If I babble while I ramble like my fathers I'll preamble
Through the valleys and the meadows of my mind
If you bit her when you batter not all that chitter chatter its what you find
All I find is a
All I find is a
Babble in the water and
Babble in the water
And it's just too bad
Baby bibble babble we haven't yet unraveled
Spend some time by yourself and you may find
You don't get all you grabble so if you bibble babble
Take a step back from the daily grind
There's a bibble you see in every degree
Of the pace that we chase in our wish to succeed
Maybe it's the hunt that we want so bad not what you find
All I find is a...
If we swim or if we drown will the world keep spinning round
To the beats and the measures inside the atmosphere
Or are we not strangled by the oh so daily tangle
The demands to take a stand when it's not so clear
Soon the Earth it cannot hold us for our time it will unfold us
For a future that's not at all sublime
'Cause there's so much psychobabble about the classes and the rabble and what you find
All we find is a...
The babble you see it used to make us free
Till the mouth opened up to what's under
Its all so easy how this piggy
Became our future our reality
And it sucks mutherfucker
All I find is a...

Cherish Every Season
03:07
|

|
Hey lover
Don't tell me about your past
There is love in every season
Each spell that's cast
Everything
That we have right here
Will go on for all eternity
Throughout the years
Let's live and love and share each other in this time
Cherish every season
It's yours and mine
Is it summer?
We can bathe in our love
The warm sun shining down on us
The beams from above
Let's life and love...
Is it winter?
There's no gloom set upon us
We create heat with desire
The hearth superfluous
Let's live and live...
Let's dance let's touch let's celebrate all time
Our love
Cherish every season...
Is it autumn?
We can feel no chill
The leaves under our bodies
They bend to our will
Is it springtime?
A rebirth of our love
We're flush in bloom together
And all that's to come
Let's life and love...
Let's dance...

Crush Despair
02:21
|
|||
|
Tired of working the same old thing
Hearing people talking about smoking & drinking
Crazy but it seems that I don't fit in
When you crush all that you know you know you can't win
Staring at night into bedroom songs
Black walls & blinds isolated & wrong
I wish I could ascend & reach that ring
Releasing me from this violent thing
Crush crush crush
Push away feel
Crush crush crush
Under my heel
Smash smash smash
Like a monster meal
Smash smash smash
My look of steel
Waking at dawn to the pop & the clock
I hit with satisfaction & I grope for the lock
Corn Flake breakfast & soup mid-break
I stand at the table like a fuckin' mistake
Fumbling with the crumbs of desire gone awry
My soup tastes like oil & my mouth runs dry
Crying in my head burning in my heart
My life has been a lie right from the start
Love is not found through the fear & defense
That breeds instead hate with no pretense
Crush crush crush...
I'm gonna crush all my despair
Drive home tired sunglasses wearing
Make me feel cool but my eyes are for staring
Home looks good with a vacant driveway
If my roommate is home buzzkill & fly away
Sleep keeps things in the back of my mind
Pictures the impossible & leaves me behind
Makes fantasy a game & life a rotting corpse
If I killed I'd be a real man & I'd feel no remorse
Crush crush crush...

Will We Stay In Love?
03:35
|
|||
|
Let me fall into your soft eyes
Without my having to say a word
This is as close as I can get to heaven
Did you say something or was it your heart I heard?
Take me away and I'll hold you forever
Will we stay in love?
Remain sincere?
Are we lying to ourselves?
Doing this out of fear
I drift away on your sweet sugar voice
I pray that I don't sweat
I'm nervous it's not my choice
Will you one day forget?
I'm haunted that nothing lasts forever
Do I risk the pain to live for the pleasure?
Will we stay in love?...
Your smile on my lips it giggles
Your eyes they shine when you laugh
It's warm and safe when we're together
But will this kiss be our last?
Will we stay in love?...

One More Time
03:02

One more drink & I'll be dead
There's people playing with my head
I only came to the bar tonight
To get one drink alright?
One more time & I'll be done
'Cause really guys I gotta run
One more drag & I'll go crazy
I can't see my mind is hazy
I only smoke to ease my mind
But I can tell it won't work this time
One more time...
To be or not to be
That's the question can't you see
Should I live or should I die
I don't do either I just get by
One more time...
