Trained in the art of devastating. The arts be remaining unmoved in their midst. We came down, down, down. From that high and now we're looking for more.
How you gonna get up if you ain't never been down?. How you gonna move on if you ain't never had enough?. Give the signal advance the pill pushers. Administer a change purse full of Thorazine.
Two sets of taillights burn dim and divide,. Stretch for miles making track marks across what veins fail to carry.. You should have taken my keys while my hands were shaking..
You got me right where you wanted me. So what do we do if I can't hold this pose for too long?. Do we shoot again, or does the whole operation shut down and we go back to the board?.
I was wrong, close one. I am wrong. I said it. I was wrong, I mean it. Did it stick? Come down from there. I know it's hard to swallow, when your head is overturned.
Vague men tied to a stake, gather round your little ones. Feast your eyes, steady your aim behold. We hit shore dragging miles of verse. Poisoned food on the line, well we're throwing it back.
Turn the lights off, turn the lights off. Daddy better lock up his girl. Say a prayer boy. Call on the cops? cause you ain't gotta run when the music comes on.
Bedeck your gown in bricks. There's leeches stealing across the stage. Come hell or ocean water I won't end up without. Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow.
Cut your broke lines, broke your headlights and waited for you at the stop sign. Disconnected iron lungs, insurance fires, our smothered young. Always the first one on the scene. A pyromantic midsummer nights dream..
Sound the bells and take to the streets in arms. We're descending fast, a pox on your house of cards. Dry your eyes, your daughters have lost their faith.
The great American mischief has muted our hearts and our rhythms are met with the inharmonious grunts of electric guitars. It's all but too much. Nobody out there believes the obscene are reprieved.
Oh Lord I am saved. Judge says I am fit to swing. 'Bout time I have prayed. My woman just might wear my ring. . Oh you know I'm no good. You know I'm no good.
Looking forward to a flatlined love affair the comfort of a dire. Lovesickness I've come to cherish bed sores and the salt in my own tears my. Beautiful affliction your kiss festers like a boil I find myself ugly in.
Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover. Dumb and pulsing we've become. The bedroom door is an old black lung. It's arrhythmic. Uninviting and pliable.
Staring at a ghost across a table set for two,. This is the last call before the credits roll.. The charm of silver screen depression saturated in alcohol..
Pull the car over you're frightening the kids. What did you promise us about grinning in the rear view mirror without your fake teeth in?. Keep your glass eye glued on the end of the highway up ahead of us.
Turns out I never had a thought at all.. I've been talking in my sleep,. Reciting teleprompted anthems.. A marionette strung tight to the executives upstairs..
