Lay it down one last time
Let this be the last time
I have seen the sunrise
Just one too many times
When open hearts they pour
Stay with me till i find
what it is we search for
why struggle? we want more

(on our facts it is, it is set in stone
All the amateurs they've failed before)

Breathes my mind into
(they surround us)
one more night without you
(they surround us)
take my will with you
(they surround us)
Breathe my mind into

One, breathe into me, breathe
Two, more times and you'll see
Three, even more of the pain
I wont expect to be seen...
.one our will to be free
.is it enough that we'll scream?
speak your mind and you'll see what it is like to be free
One breathe into me, breathe
Two more times and you'll see
Three even more of the pain
I wont expect to be seen...

(on our facts It is, it is set in stone
All the amateurs they've failed before)

Breathes my mind into
(they surround us)
one more night without you
(they surround us)
take my will with you
(they surround us)
Breathe my mind into

Lay it down one last time
Let this be the last time
I have seen the sunrise
Just one too many times
When open hearts they pour
Stay with me till I find
what it is we search for
why struggle? we want more

(on our facts It is, it is set in stone
All the amateurs they've failed before)

Breathes my mind into
(they surround us)
one more night without you
(they surround us)
take my will with you
(they surround us)
Breathe my mind into

One, breathe into me, breathe
Two, more times and you'll see
Three, even more of the pain
I wont expect to be seen...
One, breathe into me, breathe
Two, more times and you'll see
Three, even more of the pain

Mothers nursing orphans, retreating through the beams
I think that you exist but do you really?
electrical correspondence, you cannot pay the rent with hand me down appendages
for chemical enslavement.

It's not indefinite, it's got a Lifespan
you try to nurture it, hope for extension, as far as right and wrong,
i know the difference but night is oh so dull, and no one's interested.

Amestardamage doctors, prescribing recipes
with side affection stapled to your black jeans
expressions are revealing just where I'd rather be
I'm thrown under the bus to try to resurrect a dead scene

Buckle down, when if it becomes a threat you vocalize a hard truth
so here goes
and I've reached the top of this ladder but what did it matter

. . .


Less of a singer, you are more
More of a prostitute
With aspirations for a life of sex and drug abuse
When did the music turn into a beauty pageant
Lately my sense of pride has been chronically absent

[Chorus:]
Domesticate
So much for combat
My worst habits are mounting a comeback
Dollars and pence, cubic or metric
You can sit down but the chairs are electric
Lay in the street, embrace the gutter
Its easier than working towards something
Better pull on my boots, run through the back door
Should have been more careful what I wished for...

Less of an artist, you are more more of a xerox machine
You sit tracing the pages of juxtapoz magazine
When did the music turn into a beauty pageant
I've become a participant in something I stood against

[Chorus]

I should have never given birth to this monster
I should have never given birth to this monster
From all this shame I'd like to hide my head in the ground

[Chorus]

. . .



Twice as arrogant as I am talented,
inspiration has been dilluted.
I'm dependent on this solution.
Thank you Tennessee for your contribution.
Keep conspiring towards my reduction.

There's a nervous breakdown building beneath
this calm exterior but no one seems to notice.
Not exactly a charismatic speaker with rising demand.
I just get buried deeper.

I think it's time I let you know
that my rope ended miles ago.
When progression bottoms out
you must consider another route.

Anthematic patrons that practice masked identity
for the socially anxious stopt his acting.

. . .



I see an empty space next to the yellow bumble bee,
well it could be the perfect place to park my broken dalton spade,
just tell me when you get off work and where'd you'd like to meet,
then we can peddle up and down the crowded New York streets.
My shoes are worn out, cuz' the brakes don't funtion,
I just put my feet down,
let them drag on the pavement.
When our legs get tired you can pick a spot to lay.
Level insularity. I could be right by your side.
Under one umbrella, just talking and joking,
and I knew I would love you,
for as long as you let me.
Well I haven't
(Well I haven't)
Caught my breath
(Caught my breath)
Since you made me,
(Since you promised)
Well I remember
(I remember)
(I remember)
(I remember)
(I remember)
(I remember)
And we can be alone,
And I feel Lonely,
I've been drawing these robots,
With the pen you sent me...
And I haven't!!!
(And I haven't!)
Caught my breath,
(Caught my breath)
Since you made me!!
(Since you promised)
I remember..
(I remember)
(And I remember)
And I haven't!!
(and I haven't)
Caught my Breath,
(caught my breath)
(caught my breath)
(Caught my breath)
Caught my breath.....

Extraction, no one moves
Aggravation is the current mood
Closed accounts, prosecute
Dressed in these outdated suits
Transmission incorrect
Is there anyone that's competent?
Dismissal but I can't vacate
Forcing my seeds to germinate

Like history in the making
Can we please blur the edges
Of this past memory

This will make for a great story that we will never repeat
So nod your head and tap your feet
Because that's the only review I need

The capillaries ball into a fist
I tuck it safely away inside my pocket
How can I be more obvious
Blazers are worthless when you cant produce a hit

And I hope to be the biggest disappointment

. . .


It's not a far commute to access the company of brighter pigments
Administer abuse, detach then release a pixilated statement
Recessive paper weights in training, school children infiltrate the brainstem
Sexual organs start exchanging
It feels like I'm in a Darger painting, Henry must have been lonely

Van city's got a wide array of suspects
They're not afraid to do whatever you suggest
Seems to be no shortage of the excess
So let's dive in, let's dive in

A contraceptive verse, deceiving, so no one figures out what I mean
I'll harvest my tongue, negating lyrical parasites in waiting Zip driven amputee
Frustrated, can't seem to get a closer connection
You may have hit eject, impatient, feels like this room is going to cave in
And it could happen this instant

Submerged in an amber grave, that's not how you'll calculate your worth
Don't consider it a waste, cannot keep from moving in reverse
Don't question me about the content, I'm not in the mood for explanation
So figure this out for yourself

. . .



always a spectacle,
its a public show,
unimpressed so its time that i let you go.
reputation,
from these antics, I may not be pure,
but I'm not all that toxic.
Now I'm checking out,
And enlisting for stable efforts,
so lets drop the act,
I've found something thats more appealing.
All this dependence on modern machinary.
come for the weekend,
you'll stay for the scenery.
Tear down the buildings,
lodge in the architech,
biased opinions for outdated intellect.
Its a spectacle,
its a public show,
unimpressed so its time that I let you go.
Reputations,
from these antics,I may not be pure,
but I'm not all that toxic.
If I wanted to,
make a comeback would kids..resent..me?
Unemployment,
I've been ruined by young..kids..clapping.
I'm sailing....
And we cant....save....me.....
(and your gone)
I'm sailing...
and they cheer while they say...your name...
(We hang our heads and take the blame)
(With daggered mouths and stay controlled)
Sail along...
(These chemicals...will take your soul...)
We're sailing...
And we cant...(sailing....)
we're sinking with our ship
We're sinking with out ship....
And we can't....

. . .


I'm not here to discount
The opiate of masses
But I've learned so much more
Attend lectures and classes
Through verbal dissection
Ideas are in suspension
We crash like criminals
In bed with loss prevention

We move when they say
And beg for shit that we
Will never ever need
So keep the receipt

We've become the children
Of paralyzed ambition
A fraction less human
Dining in modern kitchens
Prepackaged warmth with a
Touch of your personal flair
Arrested emotion
Wax poets with a cold stare

Don't you
Try to tell me
The your life
Feels empty

. . .



Believe it or not,
but these notes are trying to talk to me,
I've got to applaud such valued efforts.
It's not always the party,
that it seems to be,
It can be all debuckled.
This is not the most routine,
nine to five you see,
its some occupational hazard.
But I'm still trying to save my spot,
just until the apple drops,
they know that you can't push up,
just until the Ground Mill stops.
Believe it or not we're not the,
ideal guys to date,
I gues I'm just a risky decision,
but you did not write me off,
you knew that I could change,
studying my guide to safety.
But I'm still trying to save my spot,
just until the apple drops,
they know that you can't push up,
just until the Ground mill stops.
It's so,
hard to do,
and it's so,
hard to do,
hooray, I'm singing from publication,
but no one can still hear my heartbreak.
(my heartbreak)
(Let Me!!!!)
(Into the light!)
But I'm still trying to save my spot,
just until the apple drops,
and they know you cant push up,

. . .



We all have things to hide. We know what has been tried.
The hard that we find is putting pen to paper.
I know I should expose everything that's inside.
But the question that plagues us is can we open our lives?

I lay it on the line, for all to see
This is how we strive for greatness.
Let's share our dark sides, this has to be our time.
This is our time.
I'll open my door with this I'll let you in.
Come one, come all.
This is our world, feel free to come along.
Come one, come all.

Robotic full of doubt
Let's get our frustration out

. . .



Young women...and young men...
forgive us,
if you care...
Abandon,
your best friends,
demanding that you're a man,
leaving your offer, while waiting,
putting much faith in the patience,
don't fool yourself its not endless,
phone calls are poor cause of relations..
we'll abandon our best friends....
leaving your offer, while waiting,
putting much faith in the patience,
don't fool yourself, its not endless,
phone calls are poor cause of relations..
