Down On The Upside

="prettynoose">

I caught the moon today

Pick it up

And throw it away all right

I got the perfect steal

A cleaner love

With a dirty feel all right

Fallout and take the bait

Eat the fruit

And kiss the snake goodnight

Common ruse dirty face

Pretty noose is pretty hate

And I don't like

What you got me hanging from

Let your motor race

Pick it up

And get this mother gone

Out from and far away

The wooden stake

This thing has got me on

Diamond rope silver chain

Pretty noose is pretty pain

And I don't like

What you got me hanging from

I don't care what you got

I don't care what you need

I don't want anything

And I don't like what

You got me hanging from

"rhinosaur"

Standing with my enemies

Hung on my horns

With haste and reverie

Killing with charm

Only happy when you hurt

Only deadly in a swarm

Only healthy in the dirt

Only empty in your arms

I play, I'm sick and tame

Drawing the hordes

I wait, and show the lame

The meaning of harm

The skulls beneath my feet

Like feathers in sand

I graze among the graves

A feeling of peace

Only bending when you break

Only feeding when you're cold

Only healing when you ache

Only feeling when you don't

"zerochance"

I think I know the answer

I stumbled on and all the world

Fell down

And all the sky went silent

Cracked like glass and slowly

Tumbled to the ground

They say if you look hard

You'll find your way back home

Born without a friend

And bound to die alone

I'm thinking of your highness

And crying long upon the loss

I've found

And on the plus and minus

Zero chance of ever

Turning this around

Why doesn't anyone believe

In loneliness

Stand up and everyone will see

Your holiness

Why doesn't anyone believe

In loneliness

Stand up and everyone will see

Your holiness

They say if you look hard

You'll find your way back home

Born without a friend

And bound to die alone

"dusty"

I think it's turning back around

And I think I like it

I think it's turning back around

Though I don't know why it is

I think it's turning back on me

I'm down on the upside

I think it's turning back on me

Now I'm the good ride

And nothing's gonna put me out

It's backing down and under

I'm down on the upside now

It's turning back around

Turning back around

I think it's coming on the wind

Just like you said it

I think it's coming on the wind

And I'm gonna let it

I think it's turning back on me

Everything's easy

I think it's turning back on me

Everything's real to me

"tycobb"

I'm sittin' in a magic hat

With smoke and mirrors

And tire rubber fires

Watch me disappear

What made it slow you down

Sucking on a ball and chain

Another motherfucker goes down the drain

Hard headed fuck you all

Just add it up to the hod rod death toll

Sick in the head sick in the mouth

And I can't hear a word you say

Not a bit, and I don't give a shit

I got the glass, I got the steel

I got the love to hate

All I need is your head on a stake

Hard headed fuck you all

Just add it on the hot rod death toll

blow up the outside world

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try

Nothing is closing my eyes

Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight

And nothing seems to break me

No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all

Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I've givin' everything I need

I'd give you everything I own

I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone

I've given everything I could

To blow it to hell and gone

Burrow down in and

Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something

Don't let the world bring you down

Nothing will do me in before I do myself

So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understood

Wanting though I never would

Trying though I know it's wrong

Blowing it to hell and gone

Wishing though I never could

Blow up the outside world

Burden In My Hand

Follow as into the desert

As thirsty as you are

Crack a smile and cut your mouth

And drown in alcohol

Cause down below the truth is lying

Beneath the riverbed

So quench yourself and drink the water

That flows below her head

Oh no there she goes

Out in the sunshine the sun is mine

I shot my love today would you cry for me

I lost my head again would you lie for me

I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand

I lost my head again would you cry for me

Close your eyes and bow your head

I need a little sympathy

Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone

Who isn't me

So kill your health and kill yourself

And kill everything you love

And if you live you can fall to pieces

And suffer with my ghost

Just a burden in my hand

Just another anchor on my heart

Just a tumor in my head

And I'm in the dark

Never Named

I had a dog he was a mix

He loved me like a God

But I was just a kid

The kind mother likes

Now I'm big like the sky

And I'm down sized inside

I'll put this all to rest

I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

I'm getting all depressed

I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

I got my father's sense

And my big brother's pants

And I look like a man

And I feel like an ant

Just a speck on the ground

Growing like a weed

A fleck of a seed

I'll put my hand in flames

I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

Feels like I'm born again

I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

And I'll keep hanging from your hair

And I'll keep playing in the sand

Just as long as I can

Applebite

No one can save

The pure or the brave

No one can save them at all

Grow and decay

It's only forever

Loosely or tightly

Everything fits

Even the wrists on your arm

Grow and decay

It's only forever

Never The Machine Forever

I can't live when it lives

It won't live if I die

Machine has no heart to give

Heart it takes could be mine

Come on

Come down

Come out from where you hide

Follows me down the river

Shadows me through the sky

A sideways glance in the mirror

Stalemate machine in a tie

Come on

Come down

Come out from where you hide

Get up

Get off

Get on with your life

Forever means all is not seen

Never means forever brings everything

I fashion will and desire

Always I and I survive

Mercurial mind the fire

Ferrivorous direction and drive

Come on

Come down

Come out from where you hide

Get up

Get off

Get on with your life

Presently, I see myself clearer

Why time I visualize

I spy device in the mirror

Checkmate watch machine die

Tighter And Tighter

Shadow face

Blowing smoke and talking wind

Lost my grip

Fell too far to start again

A sudden snake

Found my shape and tells the world

Remember this

Remember everything is just black

Or burning sun

And I hope it's a sweet ride

Sleep tight for me

Sleep tight for me I'm gone

Warm and sweet

Swinging from a windows ledge

Tight and deep

One last sin before I'm dead

A sucking holy wind

Will take me from this bed tonight

And bloody wits

Another hits me and I have to say goodbye

And I hope it's a sweet ride

Here for me tonight

Cause I feel I'm going

Feel I'm slowing down

No Attention

I've got war on my mind blood on my hands

And love on my head

So open your hands open your mouth

Let it be said

You know I've got it mad in my mind

Don't waste my time it's not going to change

So say what you want spit it out loud

Into my face

And I'll pay no attention

They're gonna tell you where to walk

When to smile and just what to say

They say have your own fun

Make your own mind

And don't make no waves

But if you got a handful of change

Don't throw it away it's gonna come

So say what you want, suck all my

Suck on my brain

And I'll pay no attention

"switchopens"

Hey you slaves go hang your owners

Draw your names among their ashes

Put your children on their thrones

Gather 'round and fall right down

Here at sundown nothing is when

Everything is all right

Switch opens

Opening around and let's the garden rise

Switch is on

Hey you patients

Where's your surgeon

Left with your

Insides open

Hung your hearts out

On the table

Gather 'round and fall right down

Feel the air now

Stumbling and wander in the moonshine

Switch opens

Nothing is when everything is all right

Switch is on

"overfloater"

Come on in and take me on an override

Been stuck inside and up all night at Dave's

Now trouble's far away, and mother in her cage

And nothings gonna pinch this nerve of mine

I wanna make it right

Close the door and pull the shades

And climb the walls

Feel medicine heal the lines of age

I'm here and now I'm gone

I'm there and far beyond

And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine

Nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine

I wanna make it right

I'm on the wire over and higher

Over the pretense over the (spire) why

On and connected I'm overfloating now

I'm overfloating alone

Hold the potion up

Tear your shadow down

Remember to forget and then rename your shame

I wanna make it right

I'm on the wire over and higher

Over the pretense over the (spire) why

On and connected I'm overfloating now

I'm overfloating alone

An Unkind

We see the vipers of distance

Crawl into our lives everyday

Breeding our Edens of hatred

Pathetically stupid and unkind

We couldn't look a saint in the eyes

On the storm

It's time to go

On the storm

It's time to go

Marching in lines of contradiction

Forgetting the history we make

Loving our hangmen as the

Penultimate joke

We lack the Moses... to look

A saint in the eye

"bootcamp"

I must obey the rules

I must be tame and cool

No staring at the clouds

I must stay on the ground

In clusters of the mice

The smoke is in our eyes

Like babies on display

Like angels in a cage

I must be pure and true

I must contain my views

There must be something else

There must be something good

Far away
