Bury Me 03:07
Maggies on the phone/She says those Dinosaurs don't make house calls anymore/And Dads not coming home/Carry me... The world has gone to Hell/You sit there like a cow and wonder how it got so crowded/Their politics are fowl/Carry me... Maggies on the floor/She says that it's the end for her and she's kind of happy/ And i'm just a bag of bones/ Bury me...

CandleLight 03:47
it's all gonna happen as it did before/ fish are growing legs and stumbling to shore/ you're the least tasty treat on an island with friends/ you better watch your feet cuz they got hungry hands/ why try because everybodies gonna die/so let the oceans come right in/ everybody wants to fight by candlelight/and that's why we don't bother to try/ we let the oceans come right in/let the ocean's come on in...It's all gonna happen as it did before/apes are throwing blades and eating brains and more/ and the word on the street is that you're weak on demands/ you better make ends meet cuz they got hungry hands...why try because everybodies gonna die/so let the oceans come right in/ everybody wants to fight by candlelight/and that's why we don't bother to try/ we let the oceans come right in/let the ocean's come on in/we're not doing fine but that's alright hey that's life/ so let the oceans come right in/ everybody wants to fight by candlelight/and that's why we don't bother to try we let the oceans come right in/ let the oceans come on in...

GlassEye 02:28
you left us with rings where the old human beings sift for food/ you left us with queens after setting their kings to the noose/ and if the fevers running high/with believers on every side/ you get no tears from a glass eye...not mine we battled the seas and fought gods with diseased attitudes/You gave us the trees and shared all of your seeds with our few/ and if you change your mind/ if you make it out alive/ you get no tears from a glass eye/ no not mine... I felt for my wings at the tip where my dreams met my view/ these horrible things that i think well i think them for you/ and while the fever's running high/ with believers on every side/ you get no tears from a glass eye...no not mine

"The theaters coming to/Come one come all/We're gonna shed some skin/ We're gonna take a fall into/into your abyss.../What are we gonna do/When the Curtain Falls/and many missing years/within the great applause/If i could.../I'd offer you a wish... Curtain Falls Right onto you The Stagehands are few/ But they run the show/ And every one of you/ Is fathered by a God that you don't know/ If I could...I'd put you on the List... Curtain Falls Right onto me Curtain Falls Right onto me

Names 02:19
The Garden's filled with swine/ they've been feeding on my mind/ and the days/ seem so strange/ they've given us a name/ and sent us on our way Mother she's so fine/ But we still build for the sky/ I'ts too late to lose the shame/ they've covered us in Names/ and sent us on our way... Would you ever need to climb/ If you had your wings untied/ for the fates/ they need you safe/ so they can twist you into shape/ fill your brain with Names/ and Wash it all away...
8.
Lies 02:51
you can phrase your favourite words but what you gonna do when they go unheard/ are you gonna brave the corporate curve or are you gonna hide...Selling off disease money is our god so we worship thieves/ go tell it on the mountain cuz the mountain streams are poisoned with their lies...I'm folded in to dirt but what's the point of bleeding when it don't hurt/ we're slowly broke and leaving for what it's worth we're not afraid to die and if you listen to them sing it will haunt your dreams/ slow down your tongue/ we're only having fun/ slow down your tongue/ if you listen to them sing it will haunt your dreams

It was only last night when i found out that no one really knows for sure/ I ask them all the reason why our live's a motion blur/ up came the sun and question mark or a light bulb above my head/ a simple life ain't that easy until you recognize your own emptiness...We got credit in a box for little GoldieLocks and brand new pair of socks for the twins/ Lead bars around the blocks of any poor man's thoughts/ whose lost any gumption to win/ We got a sell out on the radio who needs to feed his great ego in order to forget his name/ If my kids were hungry and my mom was working Laundry Hell you know I'd do the same/ I woke out of a dream i could have sworn i died maybe so and i just don't know it yet/ I remember it so clearly i was underwater fearing for my life but why i forget... Babe O' Babe I need your Help/ You gotta love me like you love yourself/yeah it's true that i'm a dried up well/But you gotta love me like you love yourself/ Babe O Babe I need your help/ You gotta love me like you love yourself/ Yeah, it's true that i'm going straight to Hell/ But you gotta love me like you love yourself...We got circuit boards and digital whores/ a second hand face to wear outdoors/ we got brand name mud from a working class blood and a third world to ignore/ we got people killing kids just to get their kicks/ they need it just as much as the risk/ we got people building bombs to drop on some one else's lawn who they never met and wouldn't miss...Babe O' Babe I need your Help/ You gotta love me like you love yourself/yeah it's true that i'm a dried up well/But you gotta love me like you love yourself/ Babe O Babe I need your help/ You gotta love me like you love yourself/ Yeah, it's true that i'm going straight to Hell/ But you gotta love me like you love yourself... It was only last night when I found out that no one really knows for sure/ Now I'm stuck on the in-betweens thinking of all the universe...

Boss 02:20
you were doing fine the storm was in it's place/ and you ain't on their side but you're laughing anyways/ and what you gonna find? what you gonna do without it/you know the man made time/ to confuse the problematics/ and the simple minds won't have to relax the hordes/the boss is masterful we owe it to mankind the little bastards got it all/ and even in landslides we're the last of the stubborn fold...and what you gonna find? what you gonna do without it/you know the man made time/ to confuse the problematics/ and the simple minds won't have to relax the hordes/the boss is masterful
12.
Oh now it's time/time to begin/where will we go/ how will it end/they'd kill us for food/how rude they have been/Illegal to love/ "the enemy within"/with gods on their mark/where humans have died/they offered up arms/where heavens collide/ there they stood to the left/ there they stood to the right/ they stood on our backs still they couldn't decide/they'll look in your eyes and feed you lies till you spin/then put you on ice and note the places you've been/and how hard we tried to make the devil our friend/ the demon is wise and he's shedding his skin/ On capitol hill the little devils arrive/with snakes up their sleeves and sales on the rise/and here in OUR town the snakes have come no surprise/ what have they done to my home? What have you done to my kind?/Backwards we climb to Dark ages we swim/ your stars have aligned/ O' the Wars you will win/ I don't fear your size/ I'm not afraid of your friends/ Because i'm the one you denied/ I'm the original sin/Bitch all you want/ all kidding aside/ there's more money in poison then all the farmlands combined/ the monsters we fight are the ones voted in/ I can't believe my own eyes I think they're "leading" again/ Oh now it's time/ time for the end/ where have we gone/ where have we been/ we settle in tight where dreams go to swim/ it's just a matter of time before the demons get in/ With gods on their mark/ where humans have died/ they handed down charms and forced us to side/ A line in the sand/ The oil in the vines/ The blood on their hands/ Looks like they're doing just fine...All Hope is Lost
