What a monster I've made of me
In my cups I'm an unlovely creature
Rip the beast claws from the body
Cut the tongue out black and bloody now
And I remember everything
Try as you might, obfuscating
Someone said it, I'm sure of it
Falls to pieces, do you recall it now?
Drift backwards
Fall forwards
Down endlessly
Into the maw
Figures embrace, entwined and tragic
Shifting and strange like chaos magic
Light from the flames casts their shadows
No night for love, Rome is burning down
Drift backwards
Fall forwards
Down endlessly
Into the maw

I got troubles all about me
I got a blindfold cigarette
I got an impulse ridden country
I got three candles in a set
I got home to find you dead
With an anvil in your teeth
I got stoned and ate my head
I got this group chant and some
Politicking from the pulpit
I got troubles all about me
I got a misery machine
I got a black hole in my pocket
I got a belt between my teeh
I left home to make amends
I got just half way down the street
I got this dream it never ends
With all these plague infested
Rats piled up, dead in the thousands
Hold close to your friends
Remember where you live
You are owed nothing
Hope fades, age sets in now
Its a dream that never ends
A dream that never ends
A dream that never ends
A dream that never ends

"You know... I saw you two guys earlier at the good humor truck, and you were eating your ice cream like little boys, and I thought 'Those guys aren't so tough, they're eating ice cream, what a bunch of swell guys'. I saw you eating ice cream pal. Oh don't you deny it, you were eating an ice cream cone. You were eating an ice cream cone. Oh you're bad now, you're bad now, but you were eating an ice cream cone, and I saw you. That's the shit you can't hide, you know? You got your fucking shit but you eat ice cream, everybody knows it, the whole fucking place knows it. Ice cream eating mother fucker. Thats what you are."

I am free and empty
It takes a long time
I am free and empty
This takes a long time
This takes such a long time
I am free and empty
This is the last time
This will be the last time
Woah, oh yeah

Glass Box

Were you not listening?
Heroin dealers crane their necks toward young beauty
I want no part of this
The road to enlightenment is littered with bones and body bags
Its just a concept until it isn't
Vice shops sell bubbles at five dollars a pop that shatter on impact
My teeth are turning brown and chipping
The clutter on the table is getting out of hand again
There's no money left
Live inside these minutes
We keep our food locked behind plexiglass, guarded with guns and cameras
While the cops viciously attack the sick and starving in the street
This means war
People are dumb animals when hungry
When fucking
When on drugs
People are dumb animals that don't watch their backs
I smell the fear
"Wisely and slowly, they stumble that run fast"
I stole that line
"I've never seen the water so high in my poison life"
I stole that line too
But that doesn't make it any less true
This means war
This means war
I've lived life in a glass box
The water is rising

I found a razor tucked in a magazine
I thought it strange but nothing too startling
Then I saw the doctor, said my brain had turned on me
Think of that razor in all of my dreams
You get along
You make some friends
You burn the bridges and start again
You get along
You make some friends
You burn the bridges, it never ends
I speak in static, soaked in formaldehyde
You're made of plastic, strong but you're dead inside
And fashion your dagger, save one for Donny boy
Fashion your daggers and slip one into my eye
Oh you get along
You make some friends
You burn the bridges and start again
You get along
You make some friends
You burn the bridges, it never ends
You get along
You get along
Entry only
No one asked me
But for all your beauty
You bruise ugly
No one gets out
Do you feel full now?
Cause I fell empty
And I'm sure you're me

Devil

And all I know
Is that the Devil lives in me
And all I can do
Is just bide my time till he lives in you
And he's crawling round the sheets
In our bedroom
And he's hanging out on the fence
Howling at the moon
And he says:
"All, all you children
Do what you do and carry your mark
It's me who was sleeping with you in the morning
Oh its better, so much better
To live in the dark"
