Murderman 04:20

If you pull my trigger baby You will see a murdered man If you pull my trigger baby You will see a murdered man Aimed at my mercury mirror The bullets fly from your hand Aimed at my mercury mirror The bullets fly from your hand When they hit the borderline now Ain't no wind gonna blow them away When they hit the borderline now Ain't no wind gonna blow them away Don't pretend to be upset now You washed your hands and asked to be praised Don't pretend to be upset now You washed your hands and asked to be praised If you pull my trigger baby You will see a murdered man If you pull my trigger baby You will see a murdered man

When I give you my word Don't you know? It's etched in stone No use in denying I've been this way for so long Don't beg for compromises I've got to have you for my own Dry your tears, I'll keep you striving I can't have you unwinding I may be a beast, but you're my burden But that's the price I pay for loving you We had a deal in place, don't you know? God damn mother fucker I took your soul Too good to be true, but you had to follow through And when your lord came a-calling I outbid him too What else can I do? That's the price I pay for loving you No mistaking your conclusions Your melancholy, well it tastes so fine I am yours, you are mine That's the price I pay for loving you I may be a beast, but you're my burden That's the price I pay for loving you

Man with a Plan 04:02
lyrics

Set deep in the sack Wake up in a fetal position Live the life you're told It's all your ever sold Break free if you can Accept and understand The consequences, the consequences There is no demonstration When you challenge the man When you challenge the man When you challenge the man The man with a plan The man with a plan Blacklight rainbows Your miscalculated perceptions Your miscalibrated projections Sifting like a sand Keep time on the outside It's your only possession In a moment its gone Remember that crucial distinction From the peak to the valley Devoured by distraction The thinker sits there On his throne of thought Shitting in silence Can't get off the pot The consequences, the consequences

Tonight 03:47
lyrics

My moves, so old and played Unwritten rules too often strayed Between the lines I should have stayed Somehow I'm standing here unscathed Let me whisper in your ear For one last chance to have you near tonight Before your instincts get it right My dry cologne, it shields the pain I dance between the drops of falling rain My fantasies, I can't explain But you know I'm gonna play the game tonight Don't you know I'm gonna play the game tonight Before your intuition sees the light Let me take you on the water My vessel's seaworthy so we'll go farther Far as the tradewinds blow Oh baby, don't say no tonight Oooooooooooooooooh oh baby, can't you see? Don't be freaked out just 'cause I'm crazy Life made me a fool Guess you're gonna send me back to school tonight I can't play by the rules tonight Don't let me dance Don't let me dance Don't let me dance alone tonight

Fricassee 03:26
lyrics

Scrambled in the morning I get whisked the whole night through I get diced up in the afternoon I'm like a savory stew Like a savory stew I'm so tenderized by evening I'll melt inside your mouth it's true You know it's true Everyday I take my lumps Like a punching bag asking for more Everyday I dodge catastrophe Try to keep my life in order I try to keep my life in order And at night whatever's left of me Well you can eat it with a fork But you just chew me up And you spit me on the floor Well my days are meant to feed you baby Each day more and more But you just chew me up And you spit me on the floor Well my days are meant to feed you baby Each day more and more

The Champion 05:08
lyrics

Say you wanna be the champion? So high, standing on a wire Say you wanna be the champion? Your moral indignation What's it like being on a train? Of thought beyond pretension? What's it like being on a train? Everybody on the track is fair game Do you know the difference? What you say what will be What is heard, what is seen No matter, no relativity Out of boundary Say you wanna be the champion? So high, standing on a wire Say you wanna be the champion? Your moral indignation What's it like being on a train? Of thought beyond pretension? What's it like being on a train? Everybody on the track is fair game Do you know the difference? What you say what will be What is heard, what is seen No matter, no relativity Out of boundary The champion

Scrolling Down 04:19
lyrics

I just can't let it go, can't let it go In the middle of the ocean on a perilous rock No return, no return The messiness of a mind, it's so unkind Heartbreaker soul shaker I guess I must be learning, I guess I must be learning I'm swimming hard upstream past the grizzly landing Against the rising currents toward your sheltered standing I keep on scrolling on down Yes I'm scrolling on down No it doesn't bother me at all I'm scrolling on down Yes I'm scrolling on down No it doesn't bother me at all It doesn't bother me at all I need permission to let it slide I should have seen the days go by I need permission to let it slide I'm shooting bricks but it breaks the silence The dream's uncomfortable, I'm living in the dream Exposure makes me vulnerable Does that mean that I'm in trouble? Does that mean that I'm in trouble? I want more and I want more Am I becoming a fanatic? And then I wake up in a mortal panic That's the trouble with lying down awake Eventually you remember And you gotta learn to relax You know the stress is gonna kill you The stress is gonna kill you I keep on scrolling on down Yes I'm scrolling on down No it doesn't bother me at all I'm scrolling on down Yes I'm scrolling on down No it doesn't bother me at all It doesn't bother me at all I need permission to let it slide I should have seen the days go by I need permission to let it slide I'm shooting bricks but it breaks the silence

Big Log 04:46
lyrics
buy track
My love is in league with the freeway Its passion will ride as the cities fly by And the tail-lights dissolve with the coming of night And the questions of thousands take flight My love is a-miles in the waiting The eyes that just stare and a glance at the clock The secrets that burn and the pain that grows dark And its you once again Leading me on Leading me down the road Driving beyond Driving me down the road My love is exceeding the limit Red eyed and weary from the hum of the miles Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide Should I rest for a while at the side? Your love is cradled in knowing The eyes in the mirror still expecting they'll come Sensing too well that the journey is done There is no turning back....No There is no turning back On the run

Whatever, Sorry 05:24

Remember times When we told lies? There was no making sense No reasons why I like to laugh You love to cry I need to live Don't let me die Remember times When we told lies? There was no making sense No reasons why I like to laugh You love to cry I need to live Don't let me die Ooh....No need to panic We can only fail Ooh....Don't you worry It's not the holy grail Remember nights When we'd run round We'd open windows wide Throw all the money out I like to laugh You love to cry I need to live Don't let me die Whatever, sorry Just relax Don't let it eat you up Drink water, take a bath I need to cry You better laugh When you look at me that way It cuts me right in half Ooh....No need to panic We can only fail Ooh....Don't you worry It's not the holy grail I like to laugh You love to cry When you treat me this old way It makes me wanna die I need to cry You better laugh When you look at me like that It cuts my soul in half It's not the holy grail It's not the holy grail It's not the holy grail It's not the holy grail

Swinging...I'm swinging on a hook tonight I'm singing...so I don't die of fright I'm winging...I'm winging it, it feels out of sight I'm living my life on hooks I hope it don't carry me too far away Between the grifters and the crooks Another battle every night and day Missing...Misfiring on all cylinders Kissing...Kissing another moment goodbye Wishing...I held a better place in your life I'm living my life on hooks I hope it don't carry me too far away Between the grifters and the crooks Another battle every night and day I'm waiting for my pot of gold Waiting for my pot of gold To appear before my eyes Waiting for the dawning of a beautiful surprise I'm waiting for the unicorns Waiting for the unicorns To play in summer's light Waiting for the angels to sing me lullabies at night

Means to an End/Underwater 10:34
lyrics

Means to an End Highway to the sky on fire Bitches and bastards below Searching for gold Searching for heaven, searching for vision Searching for things above that haven't been written Hot mess you are reaching for the horizon Of layers of impossible scabbing the sun A means to an end No margin of error A means to an end Searching for heaven, searching for vision Searching for things above that haven't been written The monotone voices sublimate restless dreams They say that the end justifies the means Highway winding like a river in the night Pierce the darkness eyes of light Searching for heaven, searching for vision Searching for things above that haven't been written The name on the grave with the door shut tight Key the lock, turn it to the right Raise the lid, let the demons take flight Close the lid, turn the key to the left Searching for heaven, searching for vision Searching for things above that haven't been written Underwater No....I'm not bitter at all See you in the next life Gonna watch you fall Yeah...It's much better this way I'm not bitter at all But its the price you pay Got no anger I ain't got no spite I got a premonition You better hope I'm not right My finger...I don't move it one inch Try to keep your composure You better try not to flinch I'm waiting for the alarm....the alarm Yeah...I think you're going to hell I'll see you in the next life Gonna ring Satan's bell No...I'm not bitter at all I can see the future Your world's about to be small Power...It goes round and round Like a roulette wheel I throw your chips on the ground Cower over a puddle so warm I'm not bitter at all I'm like a horizon storm Coming in like a swarm
