Slow down, little child, creatures roam the streets at night
They dig their talons deep into the flesh and it resists
I am hypnotized, eager mouthed and bloody eyed
Slowly as the fog rolls in, they see us through the mist
And I am a mess, but I must confess
At times I felt I needed more but later found I ended up with less
I don't understand, did you try to cry
And in the process make me change my mind again?
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night
Slow down, little one, you may now outrun the gun, but
Terror comes and finds you soon as you turn eighteen
I am mesmerizing, corralling and terrorizing
This is when he plays pretend and brings us to our feet
I don't understand, did you try to cry
And in the process make me change my mind again?
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night
I don't understand
Did you try to cry, and in the process make me change my mind again?
(Did you close your eyes, and miss the chance to watch me get all caught up in my lie?)
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night
I don't understand
I don't understand, Tennessee did write
But no one came together in the middle of the night

Valentine's Day, 1998
03:10

Several times I spoke my mind
But twisting and turning, you could not reply
And comply
The feeling that stays is one of relief
Yet one of disdain and misbelief, and last night
I should've lied
But why didn't you just say yes?
This is why now I hope this is done
If I was a book, I'd be one with a hole in a page to fit a gun
This is why I should never have pressed
And now it appears that I am depressed and cold, I know
They say that fortune favours the bold
And now that my thoughts have all been told
I might end my life
Now, no second thoughts
Valentine's Day, 1998: two timers at the Golden Gate
They hide, and they hide, but find a way to fix their fractured lives
This is why now I never should have pressed
And now it appears that I am depressed and cold, and I know
They say that fortune favours the bold
And now that my thoughts have all been told
I might think some more

Lightning to a Fire
03:51

You try to take me, bend me and break me
I'm gonna stay a while
Gonna be saving all of my hating
For somebody who's worthwhile
I cannot be guaranteed
A perfect use of my time
But I know, for sure, I know
It's wasted all this while
Separation aches, I throw the photographs into a fire
On and on I fly, hoping for someone to take me higher
All our minds will wander into crime, but all we fear is doing time
And most of all I'm sure I was to you, what lightning is to fire
She tried to tame me, she tried to blame me
I'm cutting loose for life
Make it a point to tend to the way we
Hang onto onl dimes
But here I am, recklessly
Like loose change, shuffling
And I can't wait
To fly
On and on I go, I throw the photographs into a fire
Separation’s gone, waiting for someone to take me higher
All our minds will wander into crime, but all we fear is doing time
And most of all I'm sure I was to you, what lightning is to fire

Percocet

In all my days, I've found it to be true, that terrible things come to those who wait
Fire all your dopamine
I do think you will need it soon, just as I will
Desire broken into three
Things we want, things we need and things we'll die for
She never wanted to be drowning in her Percocet
Although, at times, she will take any pill that she can get
Jettison all of your anxieties and all your fears
For even sunken things resurface after many years
I won't let anybody be scared of dying
Covered by sheets of all the fears, all the lies
Soon the whole world will be under my control!
Running through their veins, their skin, on the tips of their fingers
Feel the chemicals like nothing you've ever felt before
You and all your friends are mine, now run away, or stay and die
Once, you did me something good
I do think you would do it again, if you could
Time will torture us again
But in the grand scheme of things we're all just dying
She never wanted to be drowning in her Percocet
Although at times she will take any pill that she can get
Jettison all of your anxieties and all your fears
For even sunken things resurface after many years
There’s no time
I won't let anybody be scared of dying
Covered by sheets of all the fears, all the lies
There’s no time

Precious

You are a stranger, misbehaver
But your fake teeth leave a flavour
This may just be the same thing I had felt last night
But you've got something to savour
Baroness, I've found you're prone to luck
I know, I've been there before
It doesn't last, but take it all in now, somehow
You're on the cover of the papers
A missing girl from southern Leicester
I hope that somewhere you lie dead inside a ditch
Then I'll have nothing to savour
Baroness, I've found you're prone to luck
I know, I've been there before
It doesn't last, but take it all in now, somehow
Serves you right, next time you will admit
To it; you are something sickly and
Somehow so divine
And for the next time you want to break me
All you have to do is touch me

The story depicted here, in which a boy loses his life
Comes straight to us from your sponsor: spite
With broadcasting partners: deceit, arrogance, and most importantly, regret
Let this serve as a cautionary tale for all you children out there looking to play on slides
Ten times I told you not to die
When you're playing on the slide
If you fall you could even lose an eye
I hope you know that in time
Mama's gonna be a prime example of why
You shouldn't ever have a child
You brought tears to my baggy, tired eyes
You insolent swine
I may just miss you now, if I'm thrown in jail
But I've got nothing to live for anyway
Fall down, your head is split in two
There's nothing I can do
You still see me when it's dark don't you
When it's just me and you
I am sure now, there's a God somewhere
And he just doesn't care
About us, about me
Excuse my blasphemy
Somebody call an ambulance
Life escapes us so we
Rush to put it back where it's supposed to be
Are you kidding me?
This is an emergency
Where's the waiting
When my son continues to bleed?
Somebody call a doctor
Tell him it's blunt force trauma to the head
Somebody call his father
Tell him his son is dead
Open up his eyes
Fill him up with meds
Make him realise
Fill him up with meds
You could've been a better son and looked, but stayed inside
When you have nothing left to lose you might as well just die
My story ends so poorly with the way you just left us
Forgive me I just need to be connected, circuit us
Father, will you forgive me now for all my sins
I seem to have anticipated how my life will end
With slitting wrists and clenching fists until I die of pain
And when my son decides to come back wake me up again

Gaps in the Walls

Through mostly cracks in the walls, he finds an obfuscated eye
With mostly broken things, he rests in between her lips
"You never lie with me in bed, so I lay with someone else"
She slits her eye where the wall streeks, the door opens and creaks
"Why were you just hiding at my door
I tried to tell you I don't love you anymore"
She came to tears and brought her fear to halt and
Said "I guess it's good that I don't love you at all"
Tell us why, then, were you strangely sitting there
Staring harshly as he stroked her hair and
Wishing that one day, well, maybe you'd be there
Dying slowly in his arms again
Through mostly cracks in the walls, she glares, wishing that she'd said
"I'll come home earlier today, so we can lie in bed"
What if you just stand up and run, far away if you could?
Then maybe one day you'll be back, and this time you'll be good
"Why are you running so far away?
I swear she didn't mean much anyway
I tried to keep you, you didn't keep me back
Now I'll try to catch you and I'll bring you back"
He runs outside behind her in the rain
Grabs her arm and his eyes turn insane
As he brings her back into the house again
Where now she will remain, she will remain
Through mostly cracks in the walls she hopes
To rid her of those ropes
So that again she may be free, free as she may be
