Bait and Switch

Beyond his throne lie barren mountains
War, Famine, Pestilence and Death
But you keep summoning these notions
That he is greater than any man
To come before
Who did you wrong
When we were young
And the days were long
The coffin’s warm
Your lover’s waiting with bated breath
Bait & Switch
You bought the ticket now take the ride
Hook, line, sinker and my pride
And I keep thinking I’ll do better
But can a tiger change its stripes
This isn’t fun
Something’s wrong
But we’re still young
And the nights are long
The coffin’s warm
Your lover’s waiting with bated breath
Bait & Switch
The coffin’s warm
Your lover’s waiting with bated breath
Bait & Switch
Your lover’s waiting for you to take the blame
Pay no mind to the man behind the camera
You’re the object of his affection
And his cup runneth over
With slow poison
But life gets shorter every day
The coffin’s warm
Your lover’s waiting with bated breath
Bait & Switch

We're All Shadows
04:20

What is your truth
In a world of no absolutes
What gives you the right
To the natural order of life
Here, we’re all shadows
On the cave wall
How strange the world looks to us now
Where is your proof
That the burden lies solely on you
Were you ever really there
Or did I just believe in you
Here, we’re all shadows
On the cave wall
How strange the world looks to us now
Here, we’re all shadows
On the cave wall
How strange we all look to ourselves
Here, we’re all shadows
On the cave wall
Crawling out from the underground
Came to catch the fall
Here we’re all shadows
On the cave wall
Here
We’re all here
Here we’re all shadows
On the cave wall
Here
We’re still here

Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
I'd jump off a bridge if you'd only jump first
I'll be there to catch you
I always fall faster
I've got the bruises to prove it
And I remember the last time
The Holy Ghost
Can’t keep you close
Not anymore
Not like I do
But what hurts the most
Is you won’t let go
Of what was never inside you
You came to me
So take what you need
You came to me
For me
Tonight
Oh, the hypocrisy
Do you remember the last time?
This is the last time
The Holy Ghost
Can’t keep you close
Not anymore
Not like I do
But what hurts the most
Is you won’t let go
Of what was never inside you
No
Do you remember the last time?
The Holy Ghost
Can’t keep you close
Not anymore
The Holy Ghost
Can’t keep you close
Not anymore
Not like I do
But what hurts the most
Is you won’t let go
Of what was never inside you
No
Do you remember the last time?

War
02:15
|

Wage war
On apathy
Disguised as entropy
Defined by society’s expectations
Your move
Don’t atrophy
This time it’s you and me
No lie, I won’t ever let you let the bastards win
The lock is broken
Now we’re finally free
The gates are open
Death by honesty
Wage war
On apathy
Disguised as entropy
Defined by society’s lack of expectations
The lock is broken
Now we’re finally free
The gun is smoking
Death by honesty
So what will you do with your freedom?
If knowledge is power then why do I feel numb?
The closer to happiness I get
The more I come undone
Face down the barrel
Caught staring at the center of the sun
I feel it deep in my marrow
The truth hurts but enough is enough
War on apathy

No Security
03:06

They paint the divine
With an evil brush
Nothing more
Nothing less
All we want
Is that too much?
Make amends
Make excuses
You know you can rely
on the ones that you love
who will take your abuses
You know you can rely on me
Make amends
Make excuses
We reach for a sign
Branded, washed and in line
Nothing more, nothing less
Tell me where is the lie
A faded image idolized
Ancient wisdom’s back in fashion; bastardized
Make amends
Make excuses
You know you can rely
on the ones that you love
who will take your abuses
You know you can rely on me
Make amends
Make excuses
There is no security
There is no security
Make amends
Make excuses

Next to every graveyard
Lies a cheap motel
‘Cause honey, we're all dying
But you give me life
Give me lovin’
Give me hell
Give me hell (2x)
You give me life
Give me lovin’
Give me hell
Next to the mortuary
Lies a wishing well
‘Cause honey, we’re all lying
But you give me life
Give me lovin’
Give me hell
Give me hell (2x)
You give me life
Give me lovin’
Give me hell
Give me hell (2x)
You give me life
Give me lovin’
Give me hell

Sad excuse for love, I know
But true intimacy is when you feel most vulnerable
So open up your void to me
Open up nice and wide
I'll fill you with kindness
Open up your void to me
Open up nice and wide
I’ll fill you with kindness
I'll fill you with lies
My body is all I've got left to give
Have at it do what you want with it
My body is all I've got left to give
Have at it do what you want with it
Sad excuse for a life, I know
One room, pullout, no vacancy
No one will know when there’s nowhere to be
So open up your void to me
Open up nice and wide
I'll fill you with kindness
Open up your void to me
Open up nice and wide
I’ll fill you with kindness
I'll fill you with lies
My body is all I've got left to give
Have at it do what you want with it
My body is all I've got left to give
Have at it do what you want with it
Just do what you want with it
Give me sight
Rob me blind
Make me see just to gouge out my eyes
Take me lover
take me home
If you won’t have me
Then no one else will
Take me lover
take me home
Take me lover
take me home
My body is all I've got left to give
Have at it do what you want with it

Electric Tumor
02:31
|

Desolate
Decadence
Your sickly sweet breath on my lips
Effortlessly eating away
This electric tumor burrowing inside me
Decide
Which one is right
The gun or maybe the knife
Decide how to excise this from my mind
Decide
Which one is right
The gun or maybe the knife
Decide what you want to feel used by
Expertly insert yourself
A poison I.V. that courses though me
Just like this city
Built on nothing
This electric tumor burrowing inside me
Decide
Which one is right
The gun or maybe the knife
Decide how to excise this from my mind
Decide
Which one is right
The gun or maybe the knife
Decide what you want to feel used by
Tonight
Tonight
Just like this city
Built on nothing
This electric tumor burrowing inside me
Decide
Which one is right
The gun or maybe the knife
Decide how to excise this from my mind
Decide
which one is right
The gun or maybe the knife
Decide, Decide, Decide!

Have A Nice Day

You want excuses
I’ve never had one
When you’re mankind you just need a reason
If this is what you wanted
Go ahead you got it
We just came to party
So what are you waiting for
Invite me in
To lose yourself
To the music
To the beat
Indulge the senses
Invite me in
When Oswald shot Kennedy
He was insane
But still we watch reruns
Again and again and again
We all stay glued to the screen
While the killer takes aim
“Hey mom, look! There goes pieces of the president’s brain!”
So lose yourself
To the music
To the beat
Indulge the senses
Invite me in
So lose yourself
To the music
What are you waiting for
invite me in
Gutted myself
Again
If only to feed my compulsions
Mistaken for passion
Everything I thought I wanted
Gutted myself again
And for fuckin’ what?
