Like Father Like Son

I was the son of a leviathan
Watching from above
Self-dubbed a sage but his rage was futile
Donning holy gloves
Assassinated by bitter poets
Back in '82
Recourse to truth's now a gilded fiction
How I miss that fool
Rain down your mercy on us
Rain down your easy answers
Rain down what's left of your big lie
He will run away
He will break the chain
He will soon betray
He will speak it plain
He will wear your face
He will feel your pain
He will take your place
He will share your name

From the time that time collapses I am glued to it
Wobble around me like a jello
Double vision but it's not just from the lazy eye
I will not run from this bedfellow
Sticky pieces make sweet sounds inside my frontal lobe
The world will slowly melt like ice cream
I'm a static corpse thats chilling in a moving space
Don't ever wake me from this bad dream
I've never found a feel like yours inside my head
I've never tasted what it's like to free my dread
Do I tremble or is reality vibrating?
My heart is jumping like a rabbit
There's an epiphany at the very end of this
I just have to reach out and grab it
I've never found a feel like yours inside my head
I've never tasted what it's like to free my dread
I've never lost the precious time I spent with you
I've never felt the ecstasy of deja vu

Dear June
I search for you
I search for anything to take me far away from here
Dear June
It's all I do
It's all I can because you come off so damn cavalier
Dear June
Please show me love
Please show me slivers of your mercy, may it reappear
And in forgetting there's a moment you arrive
We live in memory so to forget's to survive
I cannot live
I only die
So I forgive you that you never let me try
To seal our fate
To read the signs it was too late

This Is Me Giving Up

I scream for room
But nobody ever hears
I don't want to face my fears
This is me giving up
I pray for rain
But get swept up in the squall
The higher I get to fall
This is me giving up
Maybe there is a peace in surrender
But I just don't really know
I'll cease to be what I am
When time has its say
Maybe there is a peace in surrender
My feet will not let me slow
I'm running as fast I can
I weep for time
A requiem for each day
And I will soon fade away
This is me giving up
Maybe there is a peace in surrender
But I just don't really know
I'll cease to be what I am
When time has its say
Maybe there is a peace in surrender
My feet will not let me slow
I'm running as fast I can

We Live in Hell

There is no cure to stop the pain we’re feeling
It’s getting easier to see we live in hell
A child dies and everybody’s weeping
Four thousand more and we go on like all is well
I’ve got a mind to be a grave statistic
I’ve got a heart but I can’t seem to find the time
The cap is loose on juice the mass is drinking
Amid the fire heap that we are forced to climb
Why can’t I find a way to get along?
I am in the leopard’s cage but feeling fine
Why can’t I find a way to get along?
I am in my dreary head but I’m alive
But I’m alive
There is no cure to stop the pain we’re feeling
It’s getting easier to see we live in hell
A child dies and everybody’s weeping
Four thousand more and we go on like all is well
I’ve got a mind to be a grave statistic
I’ve got a heart but I can’t seem to find the time
The cap is loose on juice the mass is drinking
Amid the fire heap that we are forced to climb
Why can’t I find a way to get along?
I am fighting ‘gainst the currents but okay
Why can’t I find a way to get along?
I am fighting ‘gainst the antichrist each day
Why can’t I find a way to get along?
I am in the leopard’s cage but feeling fine
Why can’t I find a way to get along?
I am in my dreary head but I’m alive
