"Insomniatic Meat"
Oh my god.
I think I'm blind
I've found one color won't suffice
You promised,
sleep tonight
Call it a whisper that comes from
The distance
To protect all your children
One more, one more, one more minute
To fight off the bad guy...
Now go to sleep
Nightmares make these scars
A stomach's bloody hole
Sinking quicksand eyes
Makes for heavy sight
It's painless to float above the earth
Like this
Tie me to a chair, subconsciously
Surrendering
Now that I'm awake
It's hard for me to make believe
Blood between the sheets,
Insomniac meat oh - I can't shut my eyes
Void of nightmares, leading upstairs
Do I follow? - I can't shut my eyes
Tie me to a chair, subconsciously
Surrendering
Now that I'm awake
It's hard for me to make believe
This is the worst thing that you have ever done [x8]

Feel like a riddle today?
Glamorous - and I must say
That you are barely ok
Meanwhile I fight
For reason clamor in hand to
Defend this: my only body stands
Take a look around
Everything - in turn - will come down
Don't depend on this - broken promises
They won't hear a sound
Last chance to find the way out
Rearrange life 'till sundown
Fears of
A stick in the mud
I solved the riddle today
Glamorous and I must say
That none of us are ok
Take a look around
Everything - in turn - will come down
Don't depend on this - broken promises
They won't hear a sound
You plant the seed, to grow the tree
But save room for the family
Evolution turns another ugly hand
Suddenly man cannot stand
Matchstick starts a fire
Pinpoint the blame
Through the trees I scream your name
[screams]
Take a look around
Everything - in turn - will come down
Don't depend on this - broken promises
They won't hear a sound
They won't hear a sound (They won't hear a sound)
They won't hear a sound (sound)

| Brother Bleed Brother | |

hate send out the signal
a mold of ugliness
thrown into the fire
brother bleed brother
what have you done, my son
with your desire
i'll hold my pride
until the end
i'll pray for us
to make it through
i'll hold my pride
love of conviction to cope
with the weight
of all our own mistakes
i'll open your eyes
in the end everything
everything dies
and i die for you
sifting seasons through the sun
spitting treason into your hand

"A Piece Of Mind"
Treacherous hold on me
With daggers for teeth
A pound of flesh for regret
Tied to marionette
Limp around my neck
Who knows which way to go?
Charcoal burnt sunrise
Sent by the river
To tell me lies (tell me lies)
Cold shades of sanity
Are bleeding over
I broke apart the disguise
The demon lives in the eyes, and
Underneath your breath
A softly spoken
Death
I hate that it tastes this way
Medicine gets so stale
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen
I'm only me
"This man is using his mind as a weapon...
... And woe is better the creature who
Steps into his garden"
Let's see if I can't get it on me
Let's see if I can't get him all over my hands
"He's had another attack"
There's nothing bringing me back
Sailor says full mast
Following the sun
I hate that it tastes this way
Medicine gets so stale
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen
I'm only me
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen
Where are you? -
- (Where are you?)
Where are you? -
- (Where are you?)

"Ink"
I climbed the mountaintop
I saw the bottom drop
I'm clinging to driftwood
I swim in a deep world
Words unspoken
Seem so foreign
Have you heard this one?
The hair on the back of your neck stands
"Another way out"
"Another way out"
The army ants have escaped
The hair on the back of your neck stands up
Ink runs into my cup
I sip epiphany
Fang bite, tarantula
Taste of my symptoms
Gasoline and a pistol
Blood filling the bathtub
Swollen eyelids
Baffled by this
Tell us what you see
The hair on the back of your neck stands
"Another way out"
"Another way out"
The army ants have escaped
The hair on the back of your neck stands up
Ink runs into my cup
I sip epiphany
I've bit my lip for the last time
The fog lifts up for the blind
Free of body, free of mind
I'll build my mold up, rest inside
Ink spills on paper
Paper spells "my blood."
The hair on the back of your neck stands
"Another way out"
"Another way out"
The army ants have escaped
The hair on the back of your neck stands up
Ink runs into my cup
I sip epiphany
The hair on the back of your neck stands up
Ink runs into my cup
I sip epiphany
Ink spills on paper (Ink spills on paper)
Paper spells "my blood." (Paper spells "my blood.")
Ink spills on paper (Ink spills on paper)
Paper spells "my blood."

| Fireflies | |

"Fireflies"
Communications down
I float without
A light to lead me back
I'm lost again
They say silence is golden
Loneliness never shined like this
Diseased the leper sits
The leper is me
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Caught between the stars
A well lit drowning
Darkness mocks me with
A broken compass
So I swim in a sea
Of distress
Broken down, and helpless
The leper sits diseased
The leper is me
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Floating all alone
Floating all alone
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again
Fireflies illuminate your eyes
The moon will lead me back to earth again

| Hopeless Host | |
|
"Hopeless Host"
I feel the pain
Corroded arteries exposed to cold skin
Feeding me
Diastolic curdled oxygen
I look suspicious when I look
In the mirror
Swallow placebo and the
Mountain gets steeper
Stomach won't digest demons
One wound for every reason why
Pills are contagious
Prayers for ageless sight
Monsters religion
Bleed me through to midnight
Peeking red
Another episode of playing pretend
Medicine
Cut the feed for one moment
Release endorphins and then it's over
Hands of the shadows grope at dirty diseases
Somebody tell me why I should believe this
One more unknown condition
One wound for every reason why
Pills are contagious
Prayers for ageless sight
Monsters religion
Bleed me through to midnight
Pills are contagious (pills are contagious)
Prayers for ageless sight
Monsters religion (monsters religion)
One more, one more
Try as I may
Inside this creature's still alive
Try as I may
Inside this creature's still alive
Focus on the fire burning
Virus in me
Hopeless host hooked to a wire
Keeping me
Focused on the fire burning
Virus that is me... (a hopeless host)
Sickness, Sickness
Is crumbling me, born into
Disease stomach
Won't digest demons mother please
I beg. Just finish the stitch
Sew me up to live

| Reduced to Teeth | |
|
"Reduced To Teeth"
Behind a mask, a man can bask only
For so long before being exposed
To the sun
The moon is up, a whisper of
"'Till death do you wrong"
Patients bother a patient doctor
Plastics itch, and bandages the
Aftermath won't add up to this.
The fever breaks
It would take a masochist
To live like this
I buried my wife today
Restitution for my sanity
Chasing demons dressed like me
Their eyes are not like mine
Ignorance is divine
Instincts are reduced to teeth
That bite the hand that feeds
Fear thy father love thy martyr
The verdict of the jury hung on
The weight of what has become
A starry night, a vengeful wish "it doesn't have to be like this"
I buried my wife today
Restitution for my sanity
I buried my wife today
Restitution for my sanity
Sound the alarm and make
No mistake about this
All the king's horses and all the king's
Men have been sent to put this boy back
Together again, but somehow, he must
Have been predicting the fall
Caged rats, experiments
A brain with no oxygen
Release all the hostages, you've got
To wash your hands of this
Caged rats, experiments
A brain with no oxygen
Release all the hostages, you've got
To wash your hands of this
murder, murder, murder, murder

| A Man Alone | |

"A Man Alone"
Woke up this morning without a face
I've fooled myself again
I've sold myself again
Another wasted day counting shades
Of gray, another fool's attempt to fall from grace
A casual line.
A sip of wine to sympathize while you're laughing
But on the inside
I've lost the insight that just might be
The truth...
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
Pick my teeth out of the mud
And sink the sun, what have you done?
Cut the bandages,
Remove the oxygen
Hey man what's with that stupid grin?
I cut and bleed myself along
A man alone can do no wrong
Another wasted day counting shades of gray
Another fool's attempt to fall from grace
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
No sympathy for the devil
God gave him wings, God gave him wings
No sympathy for the devil
God gave him wings, God gave him wings
"These hands; they've made for you
(No sympathy for the devil)
(God gave him wings, God gave him wings)
your wings that stick to you."
It's dirt beneath your fingertips
It hurts to much to wait for it
It's dirt beneath your fingertips
It hurts to much to wait for it
It's dirt beneath your fingertips
It hurts to much to wait for this
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?

"Miro"
Slumber has erased me
Comfort is only skin deep
A dirty mirror reveals reason
To digest corrective medicine
I burned up, I burned up
Ablaze upon re-entry
Slow down
I woke up, I woke up
Face down along the shoreline
Paradise is mine
Shadows and living trees
Reach out to embrace me
This place, here, is where we don't exist
He carries dead weight with his fist
I burned up, I burned up
Ablaze upon re-entry
Slow down
I woke up, I woke up
Face down along the shoreline
Paradise is mine
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
Frame by frame we begin to change
Skeletons and robot brains
she found A book that writes itself
That plays it all upon a stage
over and over again
over and over again
where is the end?

"Ravenous"
Below the earth lies a serpent
Fire and brimstone
Remove the backbone
Say hello to sunshine
Wake up, you're baptized
The temple is me
Something to believe in
Is something to be
The evidence is all we taste
Under the skin the heart is pumping
What brought you to this?
Meat once was useless
Focus on the fiction
Lose sight of the vision
The temple is me
Something to believe in
Is something to be
The evidence is all we taste
Man makes changes
Man wants everything!
Man makes changes
Man wants everything!
Everything, everything

Meier, may we be this way forever
And tell me lover
What will become of the others?
Bones, skin, nails and flesh
On a bed of lack of passion
A medieval consequence
They worry you with all the talk of how
you're not their kind
Now I'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall
Maladjusted you must trust me darling
Subsequently, you see, you deserve more than me
They bury you while wearing garments of funeral fire
Now I'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall
Now I'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall
This will hurt you, it's killing me
(this is the salt in my side)
this is the thorn in my eye)
This will hurt you, it's killing me
(this is the salt in my side, this is the thorn in my eye)
This will hurt you, its killing me
(this is the salt in my side, this is the thorn in my eye)
This will hurt you, and I will too, and i will...
BLOODLUST, BLOODLUST - for this girl
BLOODLOSS, BLOODLOSS - for this boy
BLOODLUST, BLOODLUST - for this girl
BLOODLOSS, BLOODLOSS - for this boy, this boy,
Another puncture wound and once again,
FORGIVE MY SINS
Now I'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall
Now I'm stealing her body and taking it home
(This is forever...)
There is always one more fall
(This is forever...)
