No Win For The Wicked

You flapped your lips with that static
Stared aggression in the face before you were laid to waste
You're only dumb if mind control works on you
The real thing hits so fast
We never need a substitute
Sleep tight on ice if you can
But I'm dipping in the fire
As according to the plan
The past is attached to the present and it's certain that
The future is a laugh and even this will come to pass
You better run and hide
If you believe your own lies
You believe your own lies

Faux Medusa

Lost myself, found you
Veiled eyesight hides the truth
Fading starlight falls on your shore
Should I dare to walk through your door
Gone astray inside your core
Bits of faith fall on the floor
Fading pictures of what I once knew
Trading scriptures for scalps that fit you
Slipped away from your snakes
Hide my tracks and disappear

Healing, drowning, shedding false skin
Your voice so soothing
While time keeps on bleeding
Can’t keep your face out of my sight
Can’t keep your tongue out of my soul
Can’t keep your hands off of my mouth
Can’t keep your weight off of my back
Shaky legs can’t resist your lies
Filling my ears, shredded metal flies
Your deception draws me closer
Holy mother eat your children
Pulling all flesh into your void
Fill the black hole with her plastic toys
And the sky black with her acrid breath
Wrap your arms around my identity
Breaking your chains, breaking borders
Evolution may be over
Holy fire filling my lungs
Kiss my mouth with your sweet fork tongue
Take back our throne, whisper inside us
With the true light you will guide us
Your time has come, mine is gone
Get your beauty out of my sight
Get your soft hands out of my soul
Get your forked tongue out of my mouth
Get your shadow off of my back.
Your time is gone, mine has come
Get your voice out, out of my head!
(It goes on, on, on and on and on
Your lovely and destructive song
It goes on, on, on and on and on
Still your lovely voice goes on)

Why you walking around those poison clouds?
Why you walking around those poison clouds?
Why you going around in this part of town?
Empty eyes are looking around but you don't make a sound

The circle's closed, you're almost home

Thrills came to stay for a while
Ashes for miles all around
Truth came stay for a day
It was cruel all the way
Tore the roof off dismay
Your party ruined the house
So you say, "No way"
So we sing, "We're free"
