Is This Your Card

I’m washing my hands
in the dancing water
a journal with no author
Is this your card
Mother, sister, daughter
We have carried
away death and brought
brought back life
Bounding across the yawning chasm
Put your money where your mouth is.
Put Your loot where your lips are
Put your cash where your clam is
Put Your treasure where your teeth are
Bounding across the yawning chasm
Nothing changes
everything is
completely different
We all want to see
The end

Exit Wounds
I’ve got nothing to lose
Check my index of exit wounds
Immune to your planned subterfuge
A shadow whispers untruths
And you’ve just done what we
know you always do
Grown that view of a hollow excuse
She can’t seem to feel anything
damn my eyes
separate your bones from my limbs that lie
Had to steal your innocence trained benevolent crimes
That’s yours not mine
Divide
Reply
Half adorned child’s face
Half adorned smiling plague
Crooked teeth
Masked away
Fever dreams
Sweats and shakes
Exploding eyes
Virus wise
But every truth
Deserves a lie
Left her wings
On the wall
Lust for blood it
Says it all
Languish sums up all this rage and marks my words with this embellical waste
I am so ashamed
You are unafraid
So I’m opening exit wounds
Opening exit wounds
Opening exit wounds for you
Exit us
Exit us
Exit us I have found another way
Doomed by you no more
Doomed by you no more
Doomed by you no more
Exit wounds no more
I just open the door

It’s the hope that kills you
We are all of us dumb kittens
It’s the hope that kills you
Misery this way lies
What do you see when you close your eyes
The big rocks carry the little rocks

[Intro]
Hello
You are
Familiar
Little boy
[Verse 1 –twice as long as second verse]
Though our relationship has changed
You are still there
To remind me of the ways
All this strain
And all this pain
Lives forever
In my brain
And in my heart
And in my blood
My hopes and dreams
Of lives in peace
They seem only
Partially up to me
And perhaps, though sad, it’s true
They are partially up to you
[chorus 1]
You sure know how to hold a grudge
You won’t be moved you will not budge
Milk milk lemonade and fudge
You make them suffer just because
[Verse 2-half as long as verse 1]
So tight
You squeeze
With all your might
Starlight
Star bright
Grant me this wish tonight
That everything may be
All right
[Chorus 2]
You sure know how to hold a grudge
You won’t be moved you will not budge
Ashes to ashes dust to mud
You seem to suffer (just because)
[Verse 3]
Your world revolves
Around you
And your story resounds
With anger and resentment for them
Cause they
Disappointed you
[outro]
(Disappointed you)
I don’t need peace in our time
(disappointed you)
I just want peace in mine

Princess daddy
King of shit mountain
You blow out
myCandles
You’re eating
my rainbow
What’s so funny
Can I have
A taste of honey
Weve been here before
You know that there’s more
Underneath the floor
The unopened door
Princess daddy
King of shit mountain
You blow out my
Candles
You’re eating my rainbow
What’s so funny
Can I have
A Taste of honey
Weve been here before
You know that there’s more
Underneath the floor
The unopened door

We Kill the Indian
to save
the man
On our way
To become
Obsolete
Hold my feet
To the flame
It’s the same
As before
What is mine
Never yours
Mine is a small grief among the trees
We are all
dogs on leash
Our owners
Blindly walking
Into traffic
A moat of dust suspended
on a sunbeam
A brief crack
of light between
two eternities
A fleeting aberration

For the Beast
"Vs 1:
Will we not all be burning soon?
Empty, pitted fruit.
Words are cheap; too often free.
There’s always a humming.
Ch:
Could you write something new?
Vs 2:
I’m afraid you’re all afraid
of the wrong things.
And when we lay you all out for the beast,
will you run crying?"
Ch:
Could you write something
Could you write something
Could you write something new?

We All Fall Down Lyrics
Pocket Full
Full of Posies
Sticks and Stones
Can Break
Break my Bones
But words
Will Never
Hurt Me
There’s a ring
Ring around
Around the Rosie
Pocket Full
Full of posies
Sticks and Stones
Can Break
Break my Bones
But words
Can Never
Hurt Me
Ring around the
Ring around the
Ring around the
Ring around the
Ring around the
We all Fall Down
Ashes to Ashes
We all fall down
