Decay... 05:09
d e c a y . . . Leave your conscience at the door Nail your feet to the floor Back here for another week All I want to do is sleep Grit my teeth and begin Try not to think of endless hours that stretch before me Behind the shadows of my eyes Beneath my fake smile I hear your backstabbing lies And your soap opera lives For you I’ve no respect You my false friends I hex So We Decay As another day fades to grey So We Decay Time keeps slipping away So We Decay I die a little every day In this concrete hell Misanthropy swells In this pointless life Apathy is rife And everyday I’m here Just serves to remind me of My constant failure Like a Fritz Lang scene Like a Kafka dream Here my soul dies Between the hours of 9 to 5 And all the choices I’ve made Have just become thorns In my side Trapped in this cell I start to decay I’m not waving, I’m drowning Drifting away

Outside 05:52
Maybe, it’s just the way I’m feeling That makes me want to stay inside today Maybe, it’s because it’s raining That makes me not want to go outside and play Maybe, it would be so easy To be a bit dumber, and a bit harder too Maybe, the cold and the rain is All that you can depend upon Because outside the front door You don’t know what you’ll find Is it good? Is it bad? Will you have to run and hide Explanations never told Cruelty dwells in every soul Rerun memories make me sad But they’re in the past Maybe, there’s some explanation To why my heart beats so very fast And maybe, I’m floating up from the bottom After being down for so very long Suddenly outside the front door You know what you came here for If the mood is good or bad You came to save me from being sad My best friend where have you been? I’ve been to Hell, the land of screams Now I’m back, after a pause I’ve found that life goes on The sooner you learn the sooner you’ll understand Life is pain, it’ll wear you down Get used to it

Dark Lullaby 05:49
Now it’s time to go to bed Lay down your sleepy head Safe & warm, happy & free No one here can bother me Hours tick by as my time stands still To live this life is a bitter pill Drifting, drifting, falling away Leaving unhappiness Like the vampire fearing the dawn The inevitable day that it brings Through my wanton curtains Cold and misery drifts in Now it’s time to go to bed Lay down your sleepy head Close your eyes and drift away Don’t wake up, stay this way

y o u r i d o l s Listening to the grinding sound Of a world that’s wearing down The myth that is humanity Seeks a fable mutiny Just like the jilted bride Who finds a darkened room to hide Are we rats upon the cake Feasting on what others make Blue skies disappear As black rain starts to fall God is not here Darkness is all As we advance and read old books We like to think ideas we took Have never been thought before Despite peace, despite war Inside swelling centripetal Essence of good and evil As we just repeat the past Our basic instincts always last Burn your bibles Kill your idols Stop praying for your own survival There’s no one to save you from yourself Now we know the how & why We still look up to the sky Of all the knowledge science gives Our need for mumbo jumbo lives Are we superstitious beasts Who need make believe release Reality never matches dreams So we pray, and plot and scheme

Walking in my widow black Mourn for a world I feel out of step Woh-oh-oh, Among the Dead Walking down these crowded rows What’s it mean ‘cause I don’t know Woh-oh-oh, Among the Dead Surrounded by groaning trees Blowing in the summer breeze I read the stone miseries Of those before me Headless angel stands Neglected outstretched hands No mysteries answered here Just more questions With everyone I feel so alone Even here I don’t feel at home Woh-oh-oh, Among the Dead The only comfort it gives me Is knowing one day this is where I’ll be Woh-oh-oh, Among the Dead Walking in my widow black Mourn for a world I feel out of step Woh-oh-oh, Among the Dead Will you one day visit me And mourn the weeds that cover me Woh-oh-oh, Among the Dead

I can’t sleep but I won’t cry Won’t let you get into my mind When we part and say goodbye My soul eaten heart just wants to die Because I hate you So much When you walk into a room My little heart goes boom, boom, boom Teeth they grind inside my head As you talk I ache with dread They’ve donated pins and needles All the people that we know For a little voodoo doll That I’ve named after you I can’t look you in the eye ’Cause I have a knot inside A mixture of my pitiful shame Tells my spirit it’s been tamed If only the truth would sting I would spit forth fire and flames Your duplicity would blaze In the darkest of all days Then you start to ask me why It’s been so long since I’ve smiled Energy wasted hating you Has made me hate my life too When you’re near I sense gloom Warning of my doom, doom, doom As I struggle to keep sane My loss is always your gain Now I hunt in darker lands Smelling of perversions bloom A devout twisting devil girl Sins of spite left in my wake

When the lightning strikes I arise Clear the spider’s webs From my eyes A voice screams out “It’s alive” As I became the Bride of Frankenstein The living dead have never looked so fine ’Til I became the Bride of Frankenstein My pale skin Is cold like ice My bandaged limbs Stitched so nice Two dark eyes A demonic stare I use lightning bolts To perm my hair When the lightning strikes…

Easy, easy, slow down, take it easy Easy, easy, slow down, take it easy Lie back and enjoy the show Close your eyes and I’ll take control You’ve had your way for far too long Now I’ve changed the rules to your game Faux amies Not, what, they appear to be Terrorize you with maledictions Nasty habits are up for eviction Faux amies Easy, easy, slow down, take it easy Make you feel like your the master As you punish, try to make me beg Regulate, dominate When I sway you lose control Easy, easy, slow down, take it easy In the calm, feeling still The grudge of, your ill will In the storm we tolerate The fury of your weakened state In the storm we tolerate The fury of your weakened state

I’ve seen twenty something birthdays I might see twenty more When the reaper comes to take me I won’t see any more I’d like to go far away and leave my mind at home Abandon all my jealousies Lock them up in a room on their own Would they start to fester? Would they putrefy? Like the flesh of a corrupted corpse All covered in flies I’d like to go far away and leave my mind at home Abandon all my jealousies Lock them up in a room on their own Good times and bad collect the rent Of all the pearls that have been spent Does it remain or fade away? In the middle of the day When dreams die Like a miscarried child Sour spiky words Are the last things that burn When dreams die When the reaper comes to take me

Walk these empty streets Feel all alone Sledgehammer wind Chills to the bone Try to go to sleep, to set my mind free But the beasts under my bed, won’t let me be With these square freaks I have to spend my time With so many stiffs Makes me feel like I’ve died Need to get away, To get some release Then the beasts under my bed, might let me be You don’t have to eat, all of the shit, that passes your way Reject, Disconnect You may suffer fools, repressive old rules, be an uneasy tool Reject, Disconnect Don’t waste time, falling in line Disconnect When I get away things change inside I feel my life is starting to revive But when I go to sleep to set my mind free Still the beasts under my bed, won’t let me be.
