Seventeen

See I have no place to go
Broken head has made me whole
Yellow stone below me, yellow sun above
Dying in the middle when the pushing comes to shove
Biting on the backbone with an angel on the tongue
Waiting on a vision, waiting on a vision
With seventeen seconds until I go down to my grave
You can't ask a question, you have no voice
Want to go on living, but you have no choice
Broken and cut with a second to think
"It's all a lie. It's all a lie."
The moment you cut was a lie

See you and I don't see eye to eye
But I will skip the pleasantries and bring you down upon your knees
And keep you there below me, with an eye on the sun above
And I'm filling up the middle pushing comes to shove
Biting on a backbone with an angel on the tongue
Waiting on a vision, waiting on a vision
With seventeen seconds until I go down to my grave
They prop you up drunken, those clean little boys
The one they befriend is the one they destroy
Break you and cut you and leave you to think
"It's all a lie. It's all a lie."
The thing that you need is a lie

Come in broken, he fixes me and I move on
Well that means I'm the one
Can you see when you look and I'm too far away
I'm behind the door
I am the one
I am the one

You can't ask a question, you have no voice
Want to go on living, but you have no choice
Broken and cut with a second to think
"It's all a lie. It's all a lie."
The moment you cut was a lie

I will not wish this away, I will not wait for another day
I will not wish this away, I will not wait for another day
Waiting and questioning
Waiting and questioning
Waiting and questioning
Waiting and questioning
Waiting and questioning
Waiting and questioning
Waiting and questioning

Snowblind

I am a nation of one, you are a nation of many
Thus making you divisible and subject to me
I hold in my right hand three angels so tightly
Ride out of the dark to light that's too bright to see
And I see it and I feel it
And I change a willingness for atrocity

One without sun, one without shadow
One without anger is one who's not whole
One without sun, one without shadow
One without anger is one who's not whole
One without sun, one without shadow
One without anger is one who's not whole
One without sun, one without shadow
One without anger... is one who's not whole

I am a nation of one, you are a nation of many
Thus making you divisible and subject to me
I hold in my right hand three angels so tightly
Ride out of the darkness but the cop can't catch me
And I see it and I change it
And I feel a willingness for atrocity

I fry snowblind
Sometimes I can't see a thing
Bad grip, fucking slip, face down
This is nothing new to me
I fry snowblind
Sometimes I can't see a thing
Bad grip, fucking slip, face down
This is nothing new to me
Hey, yeah, nothing new to me
Yeah, oh

Manic

Hey, Mom and Dad, you have done so well
Why look so sad?
It's been so long since my walls fell
I can't explain all the thought I've had
I'm alright now, can't you tell?

I embody violence
I see nothing but a sack of fluid and I embody hatred
Why tell me all the things you would if you only could
You, a game of dumb luck
What could ever make you think I give a fuck?
I embody violence
I see nothing but a sack of fluid and I embody hatred
Why tell me all the things you would if you only could
You, a game of dumb luck
What?

Hey, Mom and Dad
How you've shown the way now
God, I get so mad
I don't know why, I'm just that way
I can't explain the thoughts I've had
I'm alright now, far away

Did you see? Did you know what it's like down below?
Down in the grass, you lie and wait
Wait like an animal to escape
Did you see it did you know it is an animal sign?
The divinity within it is the pack and it is mine
Did you see it did you know it is an animal sign?
The divinity within it is the pack and it's mine, yeah

I embody violence
I see nothing but a sack of fluid and I embody hatred
Why tell me all the things you would if you only could
You, a game of dumb luck
What?
Can you see with eyes wide open?
I don't care how much it hurts

Weary

Watch me turn the stones
That evil comes out
Why would I set it free?
It always comes back to me
That evil is the only thing that always comes back to me

Sun, sky, stone
Black river water washes over me
It always touches me
River water is the only thing that ever touches me

If you weary of the pain, the pain will weary of you too
If you weary of the days, the days will weary of you too
But if you weary of me, I will weary of you too

I've see the face of God
He hates me with disinterest
Just like all the rest
That hateful face of God is just like all the rest
That evil face of God hates me like the rest

Was a Time...

There was a time when I thought that I had a friend
I put down the blade so the flames won't consume me again
And then I awakened to see what they want all along
Open my eyes, realize all deception was gone
Never was, not again
When I'm on the street I can see all the faces are dead
They try on their lies every day like a skin to be shed
There was a time when you looked as fine as a lie
Open my eyes realize all deception was gone
Never was, lies again... lies again

Thin Skin

This is a story of reaction time
Step across that painted line
Stand with the sun in your eyes, you never wonder why
This is the time, this is the place
Hope you never have to see with that face
Stand with the sun in your eyes and you never question why

Tell a nothing story of reaction, get it?
All you wanted was a shotgun shell in
All I wanted was to be a little callous
You're looking at me like I've just got malice
I bleed like anyone like me
I bleed like anyone like me

This is the time, this is the place
Hope you never have to see with that face
Stand with the sun in your eyes you never wonder why
This is the day and this is the hour
Hope you never have to feel that power
Standing with the sun in your eyes and you never question why

Tattoo in a place that does some honor
Where no one I know would think to
Given a person just to sink my teeth in
I'd bite down and give no reason
I bleed like anyone like me

My skin, right?
Is just thin skin, right?
But my skin, is still mine

This is the story of reaction time
I've got a brother and he's next in line
Say it ... Say it
I've got a brother and he's next in line

This is a story of reaction time
Step across that painted line
Stand with the sun in your eyes, you never question why
This is the time, this is the place
Hope you never have to see with that face
Standing with the sun in your eyes and you never question why

Tell a nothing story of reaction, get it?
All you wanted was a shotgun shell in
Given a person just to sink my teeth in
I'd bite down and give no reason
I bleed like anyone like me

My skin, right?
Is just thin skin, right?
But my skin, is still mine

This is the story of reaction time
I've got a brother and he's next in line
Say it ... Say it

Godgun

My gun is loaded, my gun is my God
My gun has no sympathy, my gun is my God

See me bow and pray, see me bow and pray
My gun is loaded, my gun is my God

And it's with me everywhere I go, everywhere I go
And it tells me everything I know
And it's with me everywhere I go, everywhere I go
And it tells me everything I know

My gun is loaded, my gun is my God
My gun offers nothing, my gun is my God
See me bow and pray, see me bow and pray
My gun is loaded, my gun is my God

Peter The Destroyer

I. The Ascent

Peter stood upon the mountain, surrounded by all the infidels
As his gaze surveyed the landscape, crosshairs dancing in his eyes
Peter's cry from the tower did not sound so merciful
And he goes, he goes down, he goes down

II. The Declaration
Peter hears the voice again, drowning out the icy sky
In his head is the answer, loads his rifle with a sigh
Peter's cry from the tower shatters on the street below
And he goes, he goes down, he goes down, he goes down, he goes down

III. Peter The Destroyer

Peter feels the great release now, he does not cry, letting go
And he goes, he goes down, he goes down, he goes down

IV. Smoke and Madness

And we all pretended, thought he never intended, to take upon himself an action, and carry it out
Now we lie in what he knows
And we never expected, he'd mind being rejected, he took upon himself an action, and carried it out

Oh God
Now we die for what he knows

Kill the Girl

I warned you not to cry, I warned you not to sing
I warned you not to sleep around, sleep around with everything

I warned you not to go, I warned you not to stay
I warned you not to dig your own, dig your own little grave

I warned you not to cry, I warned you not to sing
I warned you not to sleep around, sleep around with everything

Did I warn you?
Did I warn you?
Did I warn you?
Yeah
Did I warn you?
Did I warn you?
Did I warn you?
Did I warn you?
Did I warn you?

This time I'll concentrate, lie back in the water and wait
This thing I intend to do is harder on me, than it is on you

I'll be a God then and not a weak man
I'll be a God then and not a small man
Yeah

This day the hunter waits, he's made one too many mistakes
He doesn't mind all the things you do, 'cause he knows that soon he'll be laughing at you
He'll be a God then and not a weak man
He'll be a God then and not a small man
Yeah

They

And he once said, and he once said, "Everyone is dead"
And he once said, and he once said
And he once said, and he once said, "Everyone is dead"
And he once said, and he once said
And he once said, "Death abandons guile and strides"
And he once said, "Bloody sun bullying the sky"
And he once said, and he once said "Everyone is dead' and he once said "Everyone's my son"

"My son," he said, "Jesus... they've all died, they've all died"
"Son," he said, "Give me wings and I'll fly"

And he once said, and he once said, "Everyone is dead"
And he once said, "Everyone is dead"
And he once said, and he once said, "Everyone is dead"
And he once said, and he once said
And he once said he'd be left outside the wall
And he once said he should never hear me call out
And he once said, and he once said "Everyone is dead" and he once said "Everyone's my son"

"My son," he said, "Jesus... they've all died, they've all died"
"Son," he said, "Give me wings and I'll fly, yeah I'll fly. Oh God, they've all died, they've all died"

Son just talk to me, take some of my pain
I'm not too proud just help me to put shit in your veins
I told you before, fight to be sane
Now they're all died like suicide, don't do the same
He said, "Don't do the same"

"My son," he said, "Jesus... they've all died, they've all died"
"My son," he said, "Give me wings and I'll fly, yeah I'll fly. Oh God, they've all died, they've all died"

Tell the Captain

Go and tell the captain the waves are growing high
And anyone washed overboard, leave them here to die
Go now, tell his mistress who lies in sheets of wine
The candles and the invocations will not bring down the tide
He's abandoned any hope of life now
The endless storms that rage upon us grow from ripples in his mind
He has chosen darkness over light now
Mistress and crew have lied and left him to be cold, to be cold
Lied and left him to be cold

Out of Sheer Loneliness

Withering up to die, letting it all go
Look inside and say goodbye
Look around me now and say "Hello" say "Hello, hello"
I'll be with you all now
I'll be with you all now
