Plot

Mind where you walk at night (give me the shivers)
Mind how you talk at night (evil delivers)
Be careful when you laugh (could be your number)
Be wary of the path that leads asunder/to wonder
You are so tempting I could just eat you alive
I've been so empty I need you to keep me satisfied
I'll give you warning, I'm just looking for peace of mind
'Cause in the morning I'll be gone, onto another life
I'd like to be inside your head, feeding on your notions
As for me, inside I'm dead, going through the motions
I'd like to help you understand, is it hard to swallow?
Under primal command; sated, but hollow
This is my plot
This one's for me
It's all I've got
It set me free

I know... I know... I know...
The scene
I lost... I lost... I lost..
The page
What's my line?
Nothing to defend
Better to pretend
There is an end
But the rules change with the tide
Touch on every strand
Tangled in the plan
Are we here again?
The rules change with the tide
What's my line?
It's all in your head

Hangup

Goodnight, we'll be wondering
When you get back from
The yellow and black drone
Give us just one ring
They're alright
So long, it's been too long
Silent, but nothing's wrong
I'm alright
I know you gotta hang up
Holding on to an empty cradle
Before the line goes completely dead
Can almost hear the breathing of
A hundred thousand faceless voices
Questioning themselves and choices
What if I could do it all again?
I know you gotta hang up

you had to see it coming
you could have told me:
'hey, get out of the way
or you'll be crushed underneath'
looking in the rearview
is so much easier
cause then you don't see that
i'm right in front of you
did anyone get the number of that revelation?
caught on the grill
between the eyes
bug in the teeth of
a semi's smile
a drop of blood
will never learn
pushed out of your heart
only to return
did anyone get the number of that revelation?

Theme in G
03:01
|
|||
|
We made our way across the back of the rise
Wind at our back, fire in our eyes
Oh, catch them by surprise
We won't return 'til the last of them dies
The mist sticks to the skin
Ready to begin
We'll dedicate their death
To the gods that gave us breath

hold it down
keep it in
sifting through the glass
tell myself
again, again
let it pass
justripitoff
nothing i
can explain
a stitch in the fault line
sell myself, grain by grain
borrowed 'til i bought time
justripitoff
don't make a scene (timesharing)
won't mean a thing (timesharing)
don't have to think (timesharing)
won't hear you scream (timesharing)

Lost my Way
03:15
|

|
I lost my way, but got it back
Deep in the fold, I found a crack
They say it's hard to keep a good man down
I lost my way, but got it back
Only just beneath the skin
Life, as we know, is pretty thin
Water flows, even underground
I lost my way, but got it back
The sky is full of ancient light
Stars long dead take up the night
Maybe all we are is a remembering
I lost my way, but got it back

Devil Took the Wheel
07:08
|
|||
|
Cross-eyed on an old saguaro
Tangled, metal womb
Rambling and hard to follow
Her eyes close with the bloom
Cry in the night
In light of the moon
A cry in the night
Too soon, too soon, too soon
Angel left her body where
Devil took the wheel
Stranded, far from anywhere
Too hurt to feel

it's cold inside i'm sick again
so dark inside and sick again
this empty hole i've hidden in
balled in a fist and tightening
and the floor still creaks with the echo
the echo of your angry pace
ears still ring with the reason
a reason i could never face
a reel to reel without an end
circles through my mind again
din of pained explainations
long until the oxide thins
old images and relies
filed and slowly rotten
burst open, red and black
de-composed and forgotten
