I’m drifting through this world in the dark
I’m drifting through this world in the dark
Yet I dont know where im going to
I dont know where im going to
tried to make a brand new start
tried to save your beating heart
but the serpentine it stole the light
The serpentine it stole the light
we huddled close and cried in fear
as those around us disappeared
dragged away thru unknown means
i still recall their muddled screams
through the clouds in dark of the night
the flashing dots of the satellites
reveal a twisting in the sky
the serpentine slowly passing by
on a stormy night when the lightning shoots out
the serpentine strikes about
twisting across the haunting sky
following us with its twisted eye
i can feel your heart beating in the dark
as they try to tear us both apart
We’ll never end and we’ll never pass by
As the serpentine stole the light
I'm lying in this world all alone
entangled by things unknown
blinded, gagged, and bound around
can't move or make a single sound
when the generator fizzled out
the arms came in reaching down
I saw the panic in your face
they wanted you but I took your place
and where I am you're far away
and in that place I'll hope you'll always stay
and hope you won't end up like me
lost, alone in misery
and though I was left behind
you linger deep inside my mind
A place you will always be
The comfort that keeps me me
buried deep inside this hive
not really dead but not really alive
I'll never forget your perfect sight
before the serpentine stole the light

Coffin Flume

waking up in the amusement park
the kids line up up in line for the ride
the operator grins maniacally
as we all laugh with glee
I fall down the trapdoor
hidden on the slide
falling into a coffin
floating in a river
we all look around
as they float forward
locked down tight I hear a splashing sound
The other kids pounding on lids
knocking against the flowing tide
the current slows and stops around
the sacrificial statue
begins to drain our life
I wake up 20 years older
Sweating in my bed
I see it standing over me
and it leans down and whispers
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
ALL MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES

Pig Vat
03:12
|
|||
|
in situations like this the options comes to mind
to be at the bottom or to be staring down
the walls too slick to climb and the nails that stick out
rusted the point they break under weight
and they rip the skin and the blood rushes out
i've been in that positions and i just lay down
at the point there's the struggle but at some point its away
just idly accepting waiting wasting away
The wound it travels so deep and long
But my tempered will it carries on
stuffed beneath the skin and fat
In the pig vat
once when you were younger
you stood looking down
staring at remains tumbled on the pile
and as you grow older it creases in
staring at the eyes glazed over white
all the animals seek vengeance
for all of your inaction
merging together
different tissues bending
Growing big and crawling out
grabbing on and pulling down
the smell in the air what you've felt all along

Dissolving
Dissolving
dissolving
you don't know how to react
Dissolving
Dissolving
dissolving
nobody wants to help you
Dissolving
Dissolving
dissolving
you don't know how it happened
you don't know how you got this way
you don't know what to say
as you go down the drain
Dissolving
Dissolving
dissolving
As you melt away
Dissolving
Dissolving
dissolving
you reach out for a hand
Dissolving
Dissolving
dissolving
as the people gather round
you're just a puddle on the ground
they all turn away
As you melt away

Altar Rock

I am just a poor boy
Though my story’s seldom told
the rope never loosens
the rope never snaps
just swinging in the wind
in the shadow of the bridge
I'm just watching and listening
And hoping for the day that
in the shadows the altar rock
swing left to right, right to left
you're watching and I'm watching you
shuffling around laughing whispering right
in the shadows of the alter rock
you can't see me but I'm kicking hard
hoping this rope might finally break
and I'll hitch a ride
In this life I don't deserve
All the things ive never really heard
Ive seen a lot, enough to make me sick
going on and on and on
At first it was hard
I felt my neck snap
And there was choking
And it all went on and on and on
Until my arms stopped resisting
it's a bother, it’s such a bother
When i hear them coming round
I see some girl
I see some boy
wandering around these parts
And in the moonlight, in the night
I've grown bitter, disillusioned,
maybe one day, maybe someday,
I feed this itch in a way
in the woods of altar rock
Ill see your shadows pass by
I'll break free and hitch a ride
I've got a lot to try out with ropes around here
I've been practicing for years
in the shadows of altar rock
I'll be unleashed in the world
and you won't have a say
you won't have a say
But all I do
Is swing around this town...

Hatchet Through My Heart
01:43

You threw a..
Hatchet through my heart
I don’t know what to do
Hatchet through my heart
I wanna throw it back at you
Hatchet through my heart
I don't know what to say
Hatchet in my heart
I don't want to be okay
Well sometimes I wait around
Not knowing what to do
Don't know how to waste my time
Now that I lost you
My friends try to pull it out
But i don't want to risk
Bleeding all over
Causing infection
Hatchet through my heart
I don't know what to do
Hatchet through my heart
I wanna throw it back at you
Hatchet through my heart
I don't know what to feel
Hatchet through my heart
I don't want this to be real
Well most days I think
I should try something new
But the stones above my bones
Keep me from being true
I wish that I could pull it out
And use for things
Like outdoor activities
Chopping lumber
A hatchet through my heart
I don't know what to do
Hatchet through my heart
I wanna throw it back at you
Hatchet in my heart
I don't know how to spend my day
Hatchet in my heart
All around me is just hay
And the scarecrows always say there will come a day
And the scarecrows always say there's another day
And the scarecrows say milk will be delivered today
And the scarecrows say
I’ll use this blade
And cut you out of my memory
I’ve got a hatchet through my heart
I dont know what to do
Hatchet through my heart
I wanna throw it back at you
Hatchet through my heart
I dont know how to feel
Hatchet through my heart
I dont want this to be real
