EMPTY WALLS

Your empty walls, your empty walls

Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time on coffins today
When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

Those empty walls

When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls

I loved you yesterday before you killed my family

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls
Want you to be left behind those empty walls
I taunt you to see from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those god damn walls
Those walls, those walls


THE UNTHINKING MAJORITY

We don't need your democracy
Execute them kindly for me
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggie hostels
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable

MONEY

Money,
All for money
Save your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,

Waning patience
People's appetite
Disposition
This possession
Dispossessed from all the attractions,
Dancing bears of eroticism,
Self absorbed delusion
Inclusion of dysfunction,
I now await the triumphant
Lost baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,

My final surrender
Away from inclusion
I now await the triumphant,
Left baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of a down,
The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,
Money, money, money, money


FEED US

Maybe we believe
She was ready to go
In the morning light
Maybe you believe
That she was made of gold
In the east where you killed her
You lead us
When you need to feed us
You comfortably delete us
When you need your fetus

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out,

Goodbye, Goodbye

She speaks unrehearsed
Languages from skin
In the morning light
Painting shadows on the
faces of the dead
In front of their widows

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Before its too late,

Do you know that life is ending
As we go, the dots connecting
We had our chance to save the garden
As it dies, our souls will harden
With these words chastising your conscience
We're breaking through and praying for transcendence

But you deceived us all now,

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out.


SAVING US

Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight
Why do we dance around
The issues till the morning light
When we sit and talk
And tear each other's lives apart
You were the one to tell me go

But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all our mother God

Tearing us, You're tearing us
You're breaking us, You're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us

Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight
Why do we dance around
The issues 'till the morning light
When we sit and talk and
Tear each other's lives apart
You were the one to tell me go

But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all our mother God

Tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us

Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever
Forever alive, forever alive, forever
Never and ever again

You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us, you're saving us
You're tearing us, you're tearing us
You're breaking us, you're breaking us
You're killing us, killing us
You're saving us


SKY IS OVER

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse
Sky is over

Don't you want to hold me baby
Disappointed, going crazy

Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over

Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over

Don't you want to hold me baby
Disappointed, going crazy

Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Don't you want me to run

Even though you can't afford
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over
The sky is over us


BABY

You came to me within a dream
Not everyone is who they seem
All these words we cant redeem
Like the great magic of our world
Corroborated by your words
Splitting planets into thirds

Baby oh baby
Baby my baby
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala
Baby oh baby
Baby my babe
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

To all the leaves that fall in vain
While god and goddess go insane
All these words in your domain
The watches kill time as the books read
Inadvertently we bleed
Figh...
