in the human traffic
04:51

you used to walk through all your old houses
waiting for some new feeling
now i see
you know better
slowly becoming and animal
in the arms of someone
who always says the same thing
in a bitter whisper
the message and the messenger
in the ditch behind the houses
slowly becoming and animal
in the human traffic
i can't look away
these hands became our hands
hour after hour
like a flower growing from the ground
pulling us down
shattered looking glass
i was looking through
only little red lines in this room
eclipsed into nothing
as the strangers passed by
in the human traffic
burn it down
burn it down
burn it down
burn
in the arms of someone
who always says the same thing
in a bitter whisper
slowly becoming and animal
no one lives here anymore
breaking from the house of rip cord
running down the street
no one left alive

cadaver party
03:24
|

it's such a simple wish to sleep at night
with flowers and crosses on telephone poles
at this speed it feels like my funeral
rise now i command you
rise now i command you
it's hard to believe
hope
this disease
what we hoped for
it's hard to believe
hope is better than what we hoped for
it's hard to believe that this disease is better than it's cure
rise now i command you
rise now i command you
with flowers and crosses on telephone poles
hope is better than what we hoped for

she whispers murders
natural man in an unnatural world
the streets are empty and lead nowhere
winding around concrete gods
with sapphire eyes i will never be beautiful again
in your eyes i am forsaken
arson is as arson was
but arson is different in her hands
she gives it meaning
i give it meaning
fine fine fine
no seriously i'm
fine fine fine
no really i'm
i dig a little bit deeper every night
i get a little bit closer every night
i am a princess striped in black
staggering home
staggering
lipstick or blood
sometimes it's hard to tell
lipstick or blood
sometimes it's hard to tell
fine fine fine
no seriously i'm
fine fine fine
no really i'm
seriously, i'm fine

red wire
03:28
|
|||
for everyday that bore those holes in you
it takes the fearful ones
hidden desire, and it takes you
poor miserable you
blood is spilled between your eyes and the screen
in your cold lonely apartment
you can see the lights in the city at night?
shining on the runaways,
and their broken hearts
where is the man with the skeleton hand?
you can tell by the look in his eyes
proud to wear that uniform
you despise
there is no blood in these wires
they're breeding soldiers in these wires
there is brainwash in these wires
never get to me
eyes lit by fire
and hands hold candles underground
were you left out of the love affair?
"wrote fuck you" on the bathroom wall
she wasn't really dying
looked like she was laughing when she was crying
i can't shut my eyes
there is no blood in these wires
they're breeding soldiers in these wires
there is brainwash in these wires
never get to me

palm of the atheist
04:24

sometimes you wish
sometimes your wish comes true
sometimes you wait
sometimes that's all you can do
sometimes you dream
sometimes you're drifting away
sometimes you talk
sometimes there's nothing to say

brainwash the tiger
04:08
|
|||
it's hidden in downstairs carpeted cages
it's hidden in darkened rooms with glowing screens
you better fight like the tiger
have stripes like the tiger
have claws like the tiger
because they are coming for you
we are one
when i wear a mask
we are one
when you don't ask
everybody wants it from me
home is just a place we go
never found a reason
just go go go
you'll never really breath again
never really see again
first you're your own and you do what they say
then you're yourself and you do what they say
then you're your own and you do what you want
but what you want is oddly similar
to what you've always done
we are one
when i wear a mask
we are one
when you don't ask
everybody wants it from me
i'm just a character in a story you love
i used to cry
but now i'm reading the same story
you know what?
i need to be entertained too
