He took the pills
Joined the new immortals
A destiny fulfilled
An overturned natural order
And where to lay the blame
Materialists' wager
Why would they feel shame
To route the great invader
Time will march astride
A fleeting of self conscious
A transmission denied
For a trickster's promise
For those who still survive
A dream of liberation
And though left behind
The promise of salvation
They'll never remember when life meant more
A guiding light in the fog of war
But nothing changes, no motivation
Just underwhelming disinclination
This spectral world
A space of ever after
A thought answered in song
A time of peace and laughter
It's time to live beyond
This stasis so corrupted
The weight you carry on
Ascendance interrupted
They'll never remember when life meant more
A guiding light in the fog of war
But nothing changes, no motivation
Just underwhelming disinclination
I'll watch over
There's no need to fear
When time catches up to you
You know I'll be there
When will you cross over?
It's been such a long, long time
My dear, there's more to this story
But nobody comes around here anymore

Leaving You
03:05
|

I’m leaving you to go to hell the way you want
Nothing ever pleases you well maybe this will be a start
It’s growing late and way past time for goodbyes
No use talking now, I never liked to see you cry
Deceptions, confessions, exceptions
So who is it now I’m talking to?
I guess we’ll never know which one is really you
This game was always old, even when we were young
I guess it doesn’t matter much as long as you’re still having fun
Deceptions, confessions, exceptions
Obsession, aggression, deception

Oblivion
03:00
|
|||
|
My mind works best not making decisions
I'm caving in under my own ambitions
And every morning brings a new day
I'm losing touch, got frost on my brain
Gravity's off, I float around
Can't discern my up from down
I could take a trip, alter my name
Join the revolution and nothing would change
I dream of oblivion
I miss you my old friend
My trusted companion
Until we meet again
Still I go to work, it's my own fault
I don't understand where the time goes
And my timing's off, the stakes grow
Thought i knew, but I just don't know
The indicator lights, they blink red
I'm going back to bed
Reality with a foot in the door
Now a distant time before
I dream of oblivion
I miss you my old friend
My trusted companion
Until we meet again

Better Broken

I think it would be good today
If I just walked away
Left you standing there
Alone with our despair
Better broken
Better tossed aside
Here’s hoping
That we won’t have to say goodbye
I think it would be nice today
If you just went away
Left us standing there
Alone with our despair
I think it would be right to say
The world has lost its way
We’re all stranded here
Obsessed with all our fears
Better broken
Better locked inside
Here’s hoping
That we’ll wake up and realize

Rat Park
02:40
|

Haven't slept for three days
Open throttle, open freeway
Don't recall what i'm running from
An unmarked grave buried in a maze
It's not easy, stubborn as I am
These hypocrites don't understand
They cast the mold, but I am much to old
No control, more beast than man
Give me something I could use
Or give me someone I could lose
Oh mama, don't give up on me
Take me back to Rat Park
Dump out, gas up, on my way
Sixteen hours to L.A.
The exit that I take, the heart that I break
Every toll too high a price to pay
We all know there will come a time
An impulse too divine
A righteous doubt to eat me inside out
Oh dark and broken mind
Give me something I could use
Or give me someone I could lose
Oh mama, don't give up on me
Take me back to Rat Park

Oh! My darling no!
Look up my dear, don’t cry
We have today
Let’s brush those tears away
Don’t burden your heart
Don't trouble your mind
We’re only passing by
Oh! My darling no!
You won’t see me cry
We have today
Let’s chase those fears away
Don’t burden your heart
Don't trouble your mind
You’re only passing by
Don’t burden your heart
Don’t trouble your mind
We’re only passing by

Waiting for the War
03:56
|
|||
|
The rifles are clean, the water drawn
Cans stacked up on a shelf
A media simulation gone wrong
And we're praying for détente
We lived a dream, tried to ignore
The shit leaking out of the pipes
Now with the power out on this bitter cold night
We're waiting for the war
The commentariat left weeks ago
For their rocky mountain bungalows
Jettisoned the mess of their creation
The militia family down the street
Drills out a false retreat
Preparing for their personal Ilerda
The activist, the angry mob
The bootlegger and baptist all
Sloppy drunk in a pool of self-delusion
Fingers point across the hall
Stick to the script, heed the call
A third act towards a forgone conclusion
