Darling Demons
04:25

Over and over and over again, I'm a snake inside of skin I can't shed.
Over and over and over again, I feel your breath wrap around my neck.
Crash and burn!
And her shadow dances 'round my heart, and leaves me scratching at the walls.
Never learn!
Over and over and over again, a mistake in the wires inside of my head.
Running and running, they're coming and coming!
What I'd give to be free!
What I'd give to be free!
Chart a course, cast to sea;
these darling little demons, running rampantly through me.
Slower and slower and slower till, time has stopped and is standing still.
Over and over, in over my head. Time to call it what it is, my friend.
I can't breathe!
By the park and in the rain, time has stopped, it's still the same.
Fever dream!
Over and over and over again, I'm a snake inside of skin I can't shed.

Fade Away

Got no words to say, so I'll fade away.
Tracing with my tears, slipping through the years.
Hold on, hold on (to shadows of dreams that are gone)
So long, so long...
Please be good to me, and I'll be good to you.
Hold on, hold on (time keeps on ticking along)
So long, so long...
Please be good to me, and I'll be good to you.
Got no words to say, so I'll fade away.

Walk on By
03:26
|

I followed the order, I swallowed the sound.
Got a new face in some other town.
I needed a friend who believed that we still
had enough time that we had some to kill.
Walk on by; cold hands shape my dreams.
And this shadow holds every story told that remains a part of me.
I had enough poison, had all I could take.
Had enough people trying to just fake a smile.
Looked at my boy, gazed at my wife,
decided I needed a whole other life for awhile.
Walk on by; cold hands shape my dreams.
And this shadow holds every story told that remains a part of me.

Sitting in my mama’s den,
Looking back through time that’s slipped away from me.
All these faces from the past…
And these places that I remember splendidly.
Are we ghosts that roam the earth?
Are we children lost in a random reality?
If we fall, what will matter most, my friends,
After all is said and done?
Could you sleep, knowing you are who you are, and face the setting sun?
Will we mend this broken land?
Choose a path that leads to sanity.
The dust has cleared and all we have
Are shattered dreams and sons of liberty.
After all, what will matter most my friends,
When it’s all said and done?
Could you breathe, knowing you are who you are? Has it changed anyone?

Eyes Wide Shut
01:15
|
|||
Close your eyes if it makes your world happy;
Never mind all the lines in between.
Fill your head with the bullshit they feed you,
Instead of all that you know you have seen.
Forfeit the warnings that have sounded around you,
And the lives of which your forefathers sang.
Close your eyes and say goodbye to your world now,
As it ends with a whimper, not a bang.
