Shit Went Down

Some shit went down
In and around the town
Now even the doctors are ill
It’s happened before
And we’re now in for more
Starting from now you will
You just listen to me for once
I don’t want to go back to the ever was
And I know it’s alright because
You don’t know what it means
To be seen as something supreme
Another league maybe
But not this arena you know
You can show us what you mean
In Hell
Fuck you

Time Flies
03:06

Silently creeping up through the shadows
Violently throwing it out the window
Watching it go and it’s gone
Time flies it’s on its way
And I’m distracted by my yesterdays
Time flies it’s on its way
And I’m distracted by my yesterdays
Hey-ey
Silently creeping up through the shadows
Violently breaking the lull in ego
Talking revenge...
On the wasted days
On the way I’ve changed
distracted by my yesterdays
Time flies by on its way
With all the hours, days and seasons changed
The worlds we lost beneath the waves
Distracted by my yesterdays
Hey-ey
Watching it go and it’s gone
Time flies it’s on its way
And I’m distracted by my yesterdays
Time flies it’s on its way
And I’m distracted by my yesterdays
The worlds we lost beneath the waves
Distracted by my yesterdays
Hey-ey

Hell on Earth
03:25

Please don’t weep for the widow
Save your tears for the son
It’s Hell on Earth and we’ve all been hurting
We’re overrun
Please don’t weep for the spectre
Save your tears for the grunts
Highway walking, a blood red sky
A world on fire
What did we do to deserve this ire?
Nothing to do for you child, yeah
You know this city is burning
The wild-eyed horses’ll run
The wasteland’s caged
And the beasts are raging
We’re overrun
You know our people are hurting
Until our mission is done
But one last chance
Lies asleep downstairs
And it just woke up
That’s some shit that’ll shake this up
Better to get their heads cut off
It’s enough
We steel ourselves
As we sharpen our blades for the kill
Catch our breath as we rise on the hill
Friction builds a diamond
But blood keeps us stalking
And I think that we’re…
Tired, tired
(So fucking tired) of talking
Please don’t weep for the widow
Save your tears for the son
It’s Hell on Earth and we’ve all been hurting
We’re overrun
Please don’t weep for the spectre
Save your tears for the grunts
It’s Hell on Earth and we’ve all been hurting
We’re overrun

Inevitably, it's up to me
To judge the evil and the mean
All these provincially unclean
And the yokel philistine
All you beloved cavaliers
Raise up your cutlasses and cheer
Tonight we're going to town
Going to town on the wicked
Indubitably, the world is real
I’ve grown these brazen balls of steel
The oldest demons now will heel
At my all-divine appeal
Hear this war cry loud and large
Raise up your bayonets and charge
Tonight we’re going to town
Going to town on the wicked
(on the wicked)
What has been stripped from me
I will take back for myself.
The oyster’s all for me
I will claim it with no help.
Now all you sinners, you heathens
You scamps and you liars
Leave my path
lest you end up a stain on my boots
oh no!
What has been stripped from me
I will take back for myself.
The oyster’s all for me
I will claim it with no help.
Now all you sinners, you heathens

Disconnected

Only one of us ever really belonged
Now we’ll see who’s standing
Day’s been long
And I know where I went wrong
And it’s far from over
This pretty picture’s all fucked up
How can I choose amongst so much?
Where did all my people go?
I know they’re all still out there
And I know they’re just as fed and overstuffed
Age of disconnected sentience
Only one of us ever really belonged
Now we’ll see who’s standing
Day’s been long
And I know where I went wrong
And it’s far from over
Far be the sense from me
To antiquate your apathy
But what else can we be?
Only one of us ever really belonged
Now we’ll see who’s standing
Day’s been long
And I know where I went wrong
And it’s far from over
(ooh)

Chemical Nectar
03:29
|

|
Fly in dreams, over the land and sea
Or lie, lie under open sky
Stay or leave, it’s all the same to me
I’m right, eager to fight and die
One touch is all I need
Chemical nectar sea beneath me
Now you just say the word...
(And I’ll let that fire burn)
Set your world on fire
Now just to keep me warm
Why am I so tired?
Yeah what’s it all been for?
Hate me through, hate my opinions too
And try, try to decry my life
Hate you too, hatred so pure and true
I’m fine, fine with the party line
Too much was bound to be
Chemical nectar turns to resin
Now I face up to me
Oh what a fool I’ve been
Set your world on fire
Now just to keep me warm
Why am I so tired?
Yeah what’s it all been for?
Set your world on fire
Now just to keep me warm
Why am I so tired?
Yeah what’s it all been for?
Yeah what’s it all been for?

My Bed
03:52

Lying in bed, you flutter your eyes and breathe out
Sighing it out, there’s nothing you need to say
Your breathing is saying it all
I’m tired of talking anyway
Drop everything come get me
Smile again, keep talking but keep it low
It’s crowded here, but I am alone
The season’s new, springtime of souls
And I was rolling around in my bed
The space between my happiness and my distress
And you coming around to my bed
Swept out the cloudy air
High up above, where everything feels like dreams now
Losing in love, where nobody seems to care
Your dreaming is frightened alone
You’re tired of crying all over these lovers
And my arms rest under the arch of your head
With quivering lips, you’re shy enough as you undress
For me to know you’re at home in my bed
You’ve sweetened up the air
Well I consider you at home
Lie down so I can pull the sheets and the blankets over you
And just get down to loving you, I do
Well I consider you at home
Lie down so I can pull the sheets and the blankets over you
And just get down to loving you, I do
