Malicious Change Thrower

late in your house hidden in the darkness of your room
i watch your peaceful slumber
and under my breath softly croon
"i can't love you when you breathe,
can't bear those tender eyes to see"
the pillow flattens across your face
your flailing arms grasp toward the bedside table to your right
as if to grab mementos for the impending endless night
your hand it comes to rest upon
a poem he wrote you as he fawned
you're soon to join him in the grave
And we went down into the alleyway
That’s when I realized there’s nothing left to say
But I had something on my mind
That’s when we sang
I had a boyfriend,
always looking after him
I had a girlfriend,
always looking after her
I had a boyfriend,
always looking after him
I had a girlfriend,
always looking after her
I had a boyfriend,
always looking after him
I had a girlfriend,
always looking after her
You knew just what you wanted from me
And now I try but there’s nothing like deceit
I know I’m happier than I would ever be
I’ll float away

Tony the Bone Collector

Tony was such a quiet boy
He seemed content with his life
Said he’d go to school and take hold
Making friends and try to find his way
He had a rat skull for a toy
And made instruments at his home
His cynicism started growing old
And his keyboards started baring bones
Tony’s mother knew something was wrong
When neighbors burned crosses in her yard
Where Tony never stood
Tony the Bone Collector
Stories say he kept a friend locked up
And injected her with fertility drugs
The baby came and he boiled it in a pot
His landlord found its bones on the roof
Tony’s band mates never had a chance
Giving into the musical romance
Yet Tony never lied
Tony the Bone Collector

The Rising Tide
05:16
|

I’m not one for self-delusion
So I admit, it was an awful way to die
Held underwater
Eyes gazing up
Into the eyes of the one you love
Hold you til the struggling subsides
You lost yourself in the rising tide
I’m not one for self-destruction
But I’ve longed for so long in your arms to die
To follow you gently
Into the cold
Into these waters that claim our souls
Hold you til the trembling subsides
We lost ourselves in this rising tide

His Madness
04:57
|
|||
We should’ve run away
But we stayed in here
We held on to our shame
It was all we had
The fabric of our family
Was only rags and filth
You should’ve seen us acting in the tragic play
His madness
In the crashing waves
Drown in the crashing waves

The Bluff
04:55
|

I miss you
I miss you
Though your words were untrue
I miss you
Into the night you came into my heart
Without a doubt we took daddy’s car
To the bluff we drove with pure intention
There was a guy who asked me to throw my scarf
I fell down and didn’t see your car
The lights were bright and blinded me from thinking
I didn’t see you
My mind was full of rage
Fear of failure
Blinded by my haste
On the ground I lay without any pain
Gazing look from your eyes let me know you were to blame
One last scream before I simply went away
Into the night you came into my heart
With the rageful youth our love fell apart
Crying eyes can never bring this story to a close
I didn’t see you
My mind was full of rage
Fear of failure
Blinded by my haste
You said you love me / I said I love you
And now I’m dead / And now you're dead

The End of the World
02:23
|
|||
No more time, we’ve run out
It’s okay, we had a fine life
We lived our lives without consequence
But now that’s done, it’s time to die now
Man’s failed run is at its end now
We had our fun, filled with misery
Our willful ignorance, our fatal flaw
But now that’s done, it’s time to die now
It’s the end of the world

Verisimilitude
04:37
|
|||
A palace of steel and concrete
A windowless trough in which we feed
Mechanical jaws of mercy
Fed a diet of those deserving
Breeding families of drones
Breathing seeds that must be sown
Towers built on simple premise
Scratch the itch that compels us
Manifest in our consumption
Is a cruelty seeking function
Echoed screams of gratitude
That echo verisimilitude
She’s wishing her daughter goodbye
As conveyers pull her deeper inside
To the mercy she was born to
The consumption she was born to
The air escapes from her lungs
The fear that subsumed her soon to be done
As the flesh is flayed from the bone
Flesh is flayed clean off of the bone

Whistle Test
07:13

You and I we’re alright, we’re alright
Together we fall and rise
What they know is wrong, is wrong
Together we breathe and live
Truth wins out in the end, in the end
Together we fight and win
What we love is right, is right
Together we fall and rise
Truth wins out in the end, in the end
Together we fight and win
