Decay...

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

Kill Your Idols
06:20
|
|||
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

Tombstone Tourist

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

Pins & Needles
04:36
|
|||
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

Bride of Frankenstein
03:04
|
|||
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…

Madam Obligator

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

Pearls of Wisdom
03:34
|

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

The Beasts Under My Bed
04:16
|
|||
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.
