level edge
backs against the ledge
no knives
the stone hard eyes
without the longing
or fear that it would disappear
they cling on
nuturing
never ending

obsessions on the table
lines needed
walls cover
tips the balance
don't touch me
wiped out
cornering
mouthed the word money
mouthed the word money
mouthed the word money

head shake
handshake
out to get a long way
from corrosion
pushes closer to the edge
wired not connected

peeling back
plastic wrap
tinted green
and all illusion
and all illusion
and all illusion

and all
existing

caught up crossfire
trading tall tales
where are you going
where do you fail
whats that mean
whats that mean
whats that mean

back and forth
side by side
loose knot weave
keep it up
altogether
or whatever that means

passing underneath
the trespass

dont get too close
dont get too close
mouth the word your money
mouth the word your money

if I fade I may
and I want to fade away
all that I do
is pray
that you will be there too
if this were trying
to deceive some minds
what the hell do you got to say?

under the surface lies I know the secret

altogether
altogether

the quiet minds
looking for their treats

time to stop
time to stop
time to stop

money
mouth the word money
mouth the word money
mouth the word money

. . .


Miles cable, claws, driller killer ripping holes, all tattered the cloth stained, regaining.
All the weather, acid rains, so sweet sweat streaks downpoured on humility.
Colder time, talking hints, watching tests of heat, mangled meat, retaliate! No blaming.
In future dreams could you have stopped it from happening?
Best left a spectator? Spectacle? Traitor!
All the time's, placed, first place!
Farther down, pull the trigger, gauging, gauging.
Cars kills at will, melted profits, book burning.
How undone, written slurs, the meaning...
Oh the pasts they will repeat, hard to hit, so are beat.
Melted profits, the past, melting, under honor.
Cars kill at will, cars kill at will.
Mr. Fables' rolls, altogether mutating. The chains rattle, happy to perform!
In the war of famine, no where arid food growing now.
Warming trends the place, passive cows to feed the weak.
Product waste! Give back. Oil coming in.
Make a million living things suffer, hidden, black garbage body bags.
What of that change that could save everything?
That paper shredder, patent tender, puts us back in time again.
Exxon, your black hearts make me sick.
Budgets that burst with oil, crude gas in purse. No compassion, common criminals seek asylum.
Concrete pillow, Exxon dreams, hidden hierarchy. No one in power taking blame.

???
The feeling is mutual
Panic is a picnic at much holiday
Ride the wave
16 hours became 24
You sing farewell to love
Age on the screen
Consuming himself
Winter dead winter
Where is the spirit now
??? of his work
Protecting his sole ???
One arm some have gone
Off his head
Off his head
Off his head
He's off his head
???
prick me
stick me
talk about my bitch
force the deranged
in process
in the shape of things to come
when you are delayed upon
it will still exist
process exist
calls upon the ears
tempting all the fears
???
deranged
???
(“??? see what my people can do�?)
all of those things that reach between
overturn it
please don't burn it out now
out and out and out again
come clean
Art
Decays
Your speed dials
Your speed balls
Melting heroin
???
No melting, no melting
Key off the head
Key off the top
(“yeah you understand, that's good�?)
greeting ???
Take me back no more
???
Over towards a mountain
Take the shot
High
??? there always will be time to see
in your child eyes
it's a child's eyes
???
this time talk
walk
it's nice to know you
walk
out and over the top
this collect your fate
??? and wait for all tumors
and for rot upon
close the doors
??? in a great ???
we can fuck
???
Sub-plots, sub-plots, sub-plots, sub-plots
Gangrene gangrene
???
You are allowed to smoke
??? his revenge
Smokey, smoker, smokey, smokeless, sorry

This'll get on your nerves
War torn
Night harms right away
Decompose
Freeze black featureless fear
Aryan yahoo
Mission sliver
Never saw sweet problems
Prison world
Carry your vast disease
Carry your vast disease
Victim of the world
Worms and worms climb
And the base fate
This week
Coming fate
Burning up ??? gas
Fix, fix, fix
Fear turning your spurning words
Withdrawal feeling burning turning furning fist
In the face
In the face
In the face

Better off dead
Better off dead

(Now is the only thing that's real)

Binge
Cringe
On the fringe (The police used to watch over the people. Now they're watching the people)
Sloppy
Binge
Cringe (Now is the only thing that's real.)
Sloppy
Mincing
Eye-dropping
Biopsy
Cyclops overlooks
Optic options
Rotten showstopper
Skinpopper
Babbler dabbler
Self confessed criminal tore pen in vain
Instant still spellbound
Game stock talk back rock
Reencounter incident
Subsistence inexistent (Now is the only thing that's real.)
Non committed
Unwitted
Oblivious
Habitual
Resistor
Roughed up edge fluent nudge pre-collect ignition
Motivation
Inexistent
Wasted views that's all they see blue
Hot blood guilt optic nerve
With the right attitude
You will succeed blue
Self abusive
Recluse
Too late for me
Make
Shifting peace
Unsettling
Crazy
Doing crazy things
Keep your eyes open
Soft spoken Changes nothing
A view
So cruel
Dogs body comatose
Torchlight roast
Disinterest
Disinfect
Retold
Impressed by possession
Insiders know
Refresh
Detained contest
Offer is pure
Sure tonight
Freeze in time or shadows climb distracting override
Instincts Evolve
Over and over
Wasted

(Do you, don't you
Want me to make you?
It's comin' down fast
But don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover
But you ain't no dancer)

Wasted truth
Why call at all blue
Hot lines
Eventual decline
With the right attitude
You will succeed blue
Resent That discontent
Sidestep
Define
The state of things
So far
Crazy Things
Soft spoken
With your eyes (Open)
You know soft spoken changes nothing?
A view so cruel (profits)
A view so cruel (A view so cruel)
A view so cruel (A view so cruel)
A view so cruel (A view so cruel)
A view so cruel (A view so cruel)
A view so cruel (A view so cruel)
A view so cruel (A view so cruel)

these
barriers
disintegrating
put forth fall
bait the hook
blind envy
makes me crawl
all these familiar faces
crack corner smile
memories build around me
smash down by denial

. . .


(All good people are asleep and dreaming.)

Every truncheon hit
Misguided
The peoples army divided
United stance
Amped out war dance
What a ride
Inner thought of non violent rebellion outside dare To die stand and fight
Show faith return all the weapons
Government says use them right
Fixed action set in motion doubting amnesia potion What to hide red carpet ride
Guessing right

(Ah ha ha)

The jokes on
Dark corner the square

(Ah ha ha)

You bath once a week distorted
The viewpoint seldom seen
Wayback in 68
Ohio kent state
Was nothing so great
Have of have not
Forcing the point
Shot in the back
Take it back
Down trod soldier away
Flower power
Within
Kill me
Kill this way of life

(All good people are asleep and dreaming)

Unbeknown one by one they'll be coming down Altogether sister machine gun
Automatic high what a ride what a trip tripped over The candlestick
Tanks arrive
Fire wall got to keep the camera alive
Tell the world
Tell the world whats going on
Here
Warning shots are
Fired at the stomach chest wound coed falls
Amped out
Amped out
Amped out
Amped out
Changing guns for brooms the guards change to clean up crews

(Ha ha ha)

The jokes on you
Dark corner the square

(Ha ha ha)

You bath once a week distorted
The viewpoint seldom seen
Way back in 68 every thing was so great
No way
Wrong date
Keep up the trade
Balanced charade
Close circuit truth
Used to remove
Keep the camera alive

(All good people are asleep and dreaming)

(Mind Trip)

[0:02] Let's get things nice and sparkling clean.

[0:07] It's part of the New Way.

[0:10] This conversation can serve no purpose anymore...
I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly,
take a stress pill and think things over.

[0:25] Some extreme nastiness, yes ?

[0:29] In the course of the centuries they will learn to know each other better, just as we shall.As brooks flow into streams, streams into rivers, and rivers into the sea, so our adepts flow back to us and swell our ranks. Soon we shall be victorious and triumphant! We shall then <...> over this earth. It shall await our coming as Autumn awaits Winter.

[0:59] New way, what's this about a new way?

[1:04] My mind is going, I can feel it.

[1:10] Do you know what is realy obscene?

[1:14] Look at him! Almost an old man, with his flabby stomach and spindly legs bringing with dog-like devotion a fresh adept who only a few nights ago his was under his protection. Look well at this man, who secreted another girl more closer in than a miser holding his gold!

[1:32] I must leave you know. See you later gentlemen. Meditate while awaiting your turn, for it would be extremely difficult for you to get away from here, unless of course you have wings, like a bat.

[2:10] Is it interesting?

[2:11] What?

[2:13] Did you find anything interesting?

[2:21] It can only be attributable to human error... this sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error.

[2:40] I can't stop now though.

[2:49] He displeased me as much this evening as impressed me the first time.

[2:56] I've lost all critical perspective!

[3:00] (belch,laugh) Don't you laugh, damn you,don't you laugh!

[3:09] I'm afraid.

[3:14]] But my father beats me for watching TV. He says I have no respect.

[3:22] Yeah, I tell him not to watch so much TV.

[3:24] Don't listen to him, 'cause I got a show.

[3:28] No respect.

[3:29] I know everything hasn't been quite right with me. But I can assure you now, very confidently...

[3:24] A year ago exactly on this same night we were assembled here in this very room. I your pastor and you my beloved flock. With hopefulness in my heart, I told you then that with Lucifer's aid we might look forward to a more succulent occasion. Cast back your mind. There we were, gathered together gloomy and despondent, around that single meager woodcutter...

[4:18] ...I feel much better now.

Unfurnished treeless barren ball
Rotates spitting toxins
Taught to destroy
A balance not unlike
Rotates farther changing
Directs
And wins each vision
Each vision blurred
Not ever thinking
Linking
That shape unknown
Linking
Progress
Undermine
Basic
Binary
Off
On
Off
On
Breathe
Exhale
Exhale lungs
Green shudders
Camera fixed
Over exposed
Skin burns
Rage
The amber
Violent
Tempered
Tension
Surface stoned
Water
Paper
To air
Dry cracks
Growth denied

No more escaping
Overcast
Go past
No money
No money
Tragic derelict cornered watches over
Down the street junkie sits holds a gun
??? waiting for a fix
Light strikes on a bar
Derelict turns vigilante

Shot gun count take high
Brains blown away
Now floating high
At peace
Brains blown up
Climbing high

??? up
Falls back down
Leaving stonehenge blacktop
Burning
Pulse burnt

Blue charred butchers
Concave

Take own life
We've done the best
??? opposite
Toward, toward a new
Now shot cut up newspaper
Come down a height
Drug keeping sour
