Where You Are

We caught the bastard madness,
We toe the line regardless,
We know our time is toothless,
We mime our troubles to the Tender,
And the tab is endless
(chorus)
It's better to be nowhere,
Than to know where you are
We tender tongue the loveless,
We play in pits of bloodlust,
Though in the past we'd got rut,
Now rot the gut to sniff and fuck
the skins of somnolescence
(chorus)
Now all the razor eyes are
Eying all the skins that you've stacked
And when the hit was on the
Hilt was down and wouldn't retract
But when you hit the town to
Charm her out her cellophane pall
All of your precious treasured
Memories could never recall
Where you are

Happy

You were on the weight of your tone
Making waves and hoping to drown
You recall the image of sound
That made you happy
And the leaves, they fell from the sky
Showing us the way we would die
And the names that we were known by
Wouldn't matter
Who are you, now
That you wish you were somebody else
I don't know how
You can play all those games with yourself
You'll never win
Now the blood is hot on the blade
What once sang when fingers were splayed
Now they choke the life out a spade
To make a blanket
Dig me out the hole of the liar
Whence we set the pit of the fire
Til the turncoat turned to conspire
To break this sacred ground
Who are you, now
That you wish you were somebody else
I don't know how
You can play all those games with yourself
You'll never win
Do you ever look back as the ghost laying round you
Dissolve and decay, til nothing's left but the
Notions that take you away

Said she ain't scared of nothing
Just petrified of everything
Green line of sight lie sunken
Towing in them black eyes on her string
And she was sent by heaven
To bring a vision of hell
Down on the hell-bent brother
Digging a deeper well
Until the rapture come down
From his wide open arm
The bastard in the capsule
Would sound out the alarm
(chorus)
She said, "The end is nigh
The end is nigh
The end is nigh"
Hands held to meet the sky
To choke it out
And drop like flies
Her lips said she was riddled
With pock marks pitted in the skin
She couldn't break the silence
Or amp it up enough to drown the din
And doffing them mechanics
She set herself on track
And hocked them childish antics
To cop a ball of crack
And kicking rocks she threw out
A bible to the breeze
But if those bastards come back
She'll bring them to their knees
Oh, miss misery
The plagiarist dug into thee
A candy for your troubles
A penny to pay the court fee
Oh, bastard brother when you
Took on a lover
You tore the limb from an amputee
Broke your brain on mortality
(Chorus)

Needles

Tonight the stars will start to burn
Just like the pages of Dear John
And I'll rebound from wall to wall
Like when the ice is on the pond
Whose waters stabbed between my fingers
When my lips begun to crack
And when the sun was beating badly
Bleeding sunshine, She would
Put it in my back
You carry needles for me
I got the ticket for you
You carry needles for me
Your eyes will see me through
His tongue might set your nerve at ease
But will it spark the tree alight
Beneath cancer in the stars
That forced your fists round my horns tight
I told you to forgive the holes
My nails had dug into your hands
But you had failed to stitch the skin
And stopped them up instead with sand
You crack a joke just like you crack your lying eyes
You broke the broker, brought your sales-pitch sacrifice
You'd mount the moon if it would make your heart a buck
You hit your knees each night but he don't give a fuck
