show
your mettle and your soul
don't wallow in your shame at all
and know
hide
your weary laden sigh
you'd better be on you'd better be on
and soon the road will be
high
how do you feel when your babies are naked and cold
don't you believe it don't you behave just
pick up your own life
give up a hundred nights
make up your own mind
pick up a fallen rite
don't think up your own lies
and give up a thousand times
just make up your own mind
and give up a hundred lives
your baby's eyes have fallen to me
face your fate, your demons, your heart, your weight
you better be on, you better be on
pull out your resonant thoughts again
you better be on you better be on
shake off your reasons and time away
you better be on you better be on
face down your buried and locked away
you better be on you better be on

bones
you'll never feel these bones again
cause they're shattered
under your skin
fly
i'll aviate your apostasy
and we'll trap it
under your skin
blur white lines
visions and days of cloven feet evaporate
you can feel it on the air
on the wind when your face is down
you can hear it on the radio
and all lascivious sounds
you can taste it on the rain
all these shadows ruling in your heart
they will be sated
from boiling out your sins
and this melancholia
thats crawling through your head
it will be sated
from rolling in your heart
when i say go!
you'll never go this way again
cause you're failing
under your skin
soothe
alleviate your riddled heart
and leave silence
under your skin

the day is over
the sun is shaking
it's time to sail
alone
your body is fading
and i can see it
you'd be forgotten in this town unknown
i think it's time to go
it's not like your mother
is same as a melody
a shame your father is
as sane as the moon
time is a rabbit
and life is a carnivore
you'd be forgotten if you were alone
i think it's time you should be on
yeah you should be on
it's not like you love it
the sound of your enemy
it's too late to follow in
the fate of your own
the treeline is broken
your god is never there
you've been forgotten now it's
time to be on
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah you'll be on

i wanna see your heart beating
i know it's so hard to say
oh i know
i wanna feel your arms pleading
all over baby
for love
i wanna cry out loud
and sing it soft and low
for you
all the lonely arms are waving
all the lonely, lonely, lazy bones
all your favorite arms are waiting
all the lonely, lonely, lazy bones
give up on your favorite son
i wanna see your heart beating
and feel it around me now
someday you'll see
someday i'll hold it
i wanna scream out loud
cause that sounds easy
your heart is sharp and lonely
cause you don't know what to say
and i can't ever explain it
cause it's too hard to resolve
but you gotta believe in me
cause i know what's wrong
you'll never see, you'll never see
cause i am on
we will miss you when you're gone but
we will never cry for you

here come them achey
arms again
below an endless sea
it's no wonder
that i've been
sailing for hours it seems
beyond the lazy
songs that play
a ringing in my ear
it's the sound of your
eye beams
invading my mind
as the world spins
shaking up time
and your arm swings
you brush me aside and away
oh and the stars burn
the radio plays
as your head turns
looking my way
and then i learn
it's not every day
no

silence
bleeds into the fog
where razorblades of
darkness
lead me with their song
insiduously
pulling
out into the street
where fires raging deep
and thoughts just burn away
jump back
and rip theses fiends apart
now sever the heart and the liver
show me
they can't feel the
horrors of living the sorrows of giving
and patience
arrest your feverish pride
one slip
is surely suicide
screaming and crawling
chasing and falling
feeding and gnawing
seething and clawing
brain dead army
chasing
the only fool i know
through fascinating
oceans
and waves of ghoulish glow
insufferably slow

watashi take ga subete
no yume to nyoryoku
soraki ti omo
hikari to yume
our father
who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth...
error
system failing
system...
dead
yume
if you think your only place for gold is on the radio
and the road is so much longer
than anyone's even fit to go down
if your heart's in the right place
then some day it will beat in time with the seeds
and make them grow
you've got to try
