Know You're Wild
02:58
|
|||
Made up my mind/no distractions except you
Made up my mind/to burn at the stake if i have to
Do I detect a pulse?
Are you ready to live? Are you willing to die?
Do you know you're wild inside?
Made up my mind. This fairy tale better not be grim
So let down your hair and let me in.
Are you ready to live in the name of the rose or is that just how it goes?
Do you know you're wild inside?
In the name of the stars/sky/days that we spent getting bent learning how to fly.
how to fly.
so baby ride or die.

Wilt
01:44
|
|||
little flower , smell so sweet
first you're growing then you wilt in the heat, leaving only memories behind
from all the things we didn't try, a color wheel of suicides
and the man says i've got the good book for you to rely on salvation
but if you let me choose i just might let you down,
with a smile never a frown, just call me stubborn
if you choose, if you choose you just might let me down too
we do it to each other.
go ahead and lock your doors, it's always the easy answer
ask yourself if only the worst is still in store
a karma cloud we all ignore, lying broken on the floor
and the man says
i've got to hear a few acts you deplore
but if you let me choose i just might let you down
with a smile, never a frown. just call me stubborn
if you choose, if you choose you just might let me down to
you stupid motherfucker.

Carve That Name
00:50
|

Carve that name into a tree
Just like you carved it in me
I hope that we can really last the night
I hope that nobody'll die of a fright
I know that there are so many more ways we can hurt each other
Don't look back
Let's get it right
Let's go...I know it's time to see a perfect opportunity to shine and be.
Let's ruin every chance we're given
Cuz even in a furtive stare I know the fear is gonna kill it
Cuz even in a furtive stare, but I'd rather hear it...in your words.

Bulletproof Bonfires
02:14
|
|||
nobody wants to go nuclear/but they're eating up the shit til their stomachs are full
you still think that i'm jealous of you
but i'd rather be lesser known than pulling the wool
see i believe in the spontaneity/i believe everything can be alright
i remember there used to be unity.
how worthwhile is the divide
but people like to talk or live in a bubble/even when it's so obvious
and i'm a fire distinguisher/it's not subjective
it's fucking true...
and i'm just looking for some kindred spirits to dance around the bonfire
i'm just looking for some kindred kids to dance around the bonfire.
i'm not a fan of amnesia
or one sided conversations.
i'm happy in my cave with Satan and a dimebag and the truth.
and your version of events is far from bulletproof (fuck you)
i'm just looking for some kindred kids to dance around the bonfire.

Plus Side (for Eos)
03:22
|
|||
Today I was up with the dawn
I can't give up/no matter how hopeless.
Wont stay curled up in a bal but I've got to pay attention to the details.
And while it's ture that you don't have and I don't have the best mechanisms for coping with all of this, who gives a shit?
C'mon baby, let's get with the program.
The plus side of an endless war is finding out who your real friends are
It's a simple and effective way of taking out the trash
c'mon, can you handle the pressure?
Fold the room in half and start over.
Just get up/face the tribunals
Don't deserve so much criticism just because we need to transmit these signals
And maybe it's not lead into gold/sure I'm getting older but it still has value
I don't care if you've never heard of me or a word I've said before
Now I'm knocking down your door
The plus side of an endless war is finding out who your real friends are
It's a simple and effective way of taking out the trash
c'mon, can you handle the pressure?
We revere these spaces where we remember to breathe long enough to communicate
Revere these spaces/i revere your face
We'll remember to breathe today
I don't want to live my life so afraid/afraid of double agents
Cuz we all bleed red and we all make mistakes
So enough with the bullshit.
On the plus side, on the plus side.

Don't be so paralyzed
You've been living a life of desperation
Taking other people's dictation/hollow expectations
I know it kills at times/feeling like there is more to this than displacement
It gets tasteless, but I've still got my dreams to chase it.
Set aside your fear/embrace your true calling
Try to push down the anticipation of falling
For all those years, you stood at the waters edge/
So afraid you'd get in over your head.
Oh to be an amputee/could I erase my debts with fingers?
Would it buy me eight more hours away from the ringing in my ears?
The frequency of fantasy/oh so violent in their nature
I want to make the ocean calmer and dive headfirst off the pier.
And She said to "hold fast"
We're out here...out in the wilderness.
With just out hearts and our wits.
Wonder who gives a shit.
Lookin' for true north with a drunken compass.
Nobody's perfect.

DRIVING SAWKILL
------------------------------
driving sawkill wrestling with lost memories
thrilled to be sensing the dead earth thawing out around me
millions of spectres reaching up w stretching hands
like the pale branches of trees
like the stale topics at hand
and oh my aching head
all these thoughts colliding
wondering if my days would have been better spent deciding not to beat my head against the wall again.
a field of dead soldiers. a field of refreshments.
when will you learn.
i'm dog fucking tired.
with miles to go before we sleep.
when will you learn.
oh my everything.

snow globe

they want to put her in a snow globe and stare at her naked body/but she's staring back now with eyes of fire/she's melting the glass/she'll burn them alive...
