Lyrics to Alison's Disease :
Can't believe Alison's disease
Florescent, the storelights describe the end
and I can't forget it
Demons can return. He caught up with her.
Murderous hands cripple her eyes and mind
and I can't blink so

Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation (our last one)
The sun will rise again.
Not for Alison
That's what I see when I look in her eyes
and I can't breath so

Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation (plague generation)

Maybe I can piece together
five cold days in late December.
Stories of a monster swallowed
in a snow covered Lake Tahoe.
Shining in her desperate despair,
Alison was there.
A moment I can freeze but she can't
be the same person se used to be.
Alison is gone. Alison is gone. (Alison is gone)

And Alison resides, on that frozen mountain side.
Thats what I see when I look in her eyes

Lyrics to Automatic :
Get a file, find a need
Wash your hair, brush your teeth
Develop habits - Automatic

Compromise, build a bridge
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Sell yourself - Automatic

Nobody out there knows
None of them have intent
Pretension and purpose
Fastening plastic heads
Everyone drives all day
None of them have a goal
Everyone lost their way
All of them play the game

Set a goal, make it happen
Imagine love, fake a passion
Change your name, stay in fashion
Make a deal, make it happen
Compromise, build a bridge
Sacrifice, sacrilege
Same cause, same prose
Same desires, same woes
Lose it all - Automatic

Nobody out there feels
None of them sees the end
Pretension and purpose
Fastening plastic heads
Everyone drives all day
Searching their empty hearts
Everyone's lost their way
All of us fall apart
Automatic

Lyrics to Resolve :
Don't leave me in this room
The walls are closing in
This is the space I used to say
The line is drawn for you each day
But every day you show
With sound of caving walls
Some day this song will have no pulse
And I'll cave alone
But there we are
Waiting for your answer
Your arms speeded elation
Beating out your salvation
But when the tape stopped you were gone
A half measure from home
This week I recreate
Edit you back into
The blare that could define you
Coveted by few who knew
The phone rings without pause
This grief wills everyone
All I have is our shitty song
How could it ever be enough?
Here we are in our final accord
A mortician and his tools
Sonically bury you
You could have chose another chord to resolve on

Lyrics to Virus :
We colonize a better place
Unable to transform our fate
We follow whatever path grows
Directions no one knows
Given the choice for normalcy,
you seem content in who you've come to be

They said he re-installed his plague
Said to have re-vamped that limp vein
As if it all ends formulaic
Painless escape
We share the same virus of love and hope
And it's a fleeting beauty

You did everything you could
You were there for him through bad and good
Disappear before you follow suit
The parasites, they are still there to swallow you

Beating through an obtrude chest
Every emotive plea a stretch
No praise enough to build a life
No words to instill pride
And through your life disorder rides

I did everything I could
Mostly there for him through bad and good
I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call
The one that signals to us all
This bender's over again

Listen for one last faint heartbeat
Holding his hand in hopes he breathes
All of those sad years have come to this
Your head lay on his sunken chest
The thought of you at his deathbed
The latest virus in my head
Unjust, unjust

Selfless you tended to our ghost
Katherine an unconditional untiring host
You were there for him when he needed you the most
I hope someone restores your heart
I hope something restores your world

Lyrics to Runs In The Family :
Used to recognize the gun in your hand
Promise, squandered
Used to understand the stake in your heart
Mileage, road worth

But it's hard to recognize the massive burden
Born of bad deeds
And it runs in the family from beginning to end It is just revenge

Everybody build a monument to pain
Flowers, fast cars
Everybody raise the thief in your heart
It's just a beating

And it sounds just like a million other tributes
Customs and demons
And it runs in the family with a million regrets
It's just (It's just revenge) revenge

Everybody build a monument to fear
Unsafe people
Everybody raise a paranoid child
It's just an over-stimulated mind

It sounds just like a billion people starving with no resource for love
And it runs in the family with a million missteps
It's just revenge

Everything echoes
Everyone emulates
Everyone is a victim of their blood
Everyday initiate
Everything echoes
Everyone echoes

All of us are running with the wolves
All of us are running out of life

Lyrics to The Contortionist :
In a chalk dotted line
Draw a kid, left behind
Severed limbs in harmony
Strumming from a few good deeds

Carry it to survive
To a bed half alive
Held before a dozen times
Deep inside a funeral for a friend:

Runs in portions like film clips
Run, run
Rundown the list
The memoirist
Like kindling
Burn, burn, burn, and burn down

I will stay inside
The saved
It's a good mourning
They will ignite you (soon)
The doomed
I will write for you

Of a boy, damaged goods
Of a bench, understood
For a spell, the soul resides
In a yellow chalk outline

Carry on the camel's back
Have another heart attack
To the cure I would drive
Played that scene a hundred times to date

Today's ambition, to relate
In a sustaining saccharine state
Impart the burden and get well
It's what everyone's trying to sell

Anything you want it to be
Weigh the screenplay and revise
Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist
So hopelessly ill-fated everyday

He will stay inside
The doomed
It's a good mourning to loom
They will inspire him
The saved Innocently filling graves

Lyrics to Sad Astronaut :
As you sat on the bed
Moments from your end
Inconceivable dread
Inches from your head
I can't bear to imagine you

In that horror scene
One too sad to be
In my mind's eye I am there
Embracing you so scared
Now you kill me too
You killed me too

Decidedly willing to lie for you
Absolutely willing to cry for you
Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you
A part of me will never know

I am there again, intervals of red
An accomplice to
Things I couldn't do
In a fable disabled

I say words like foolish son
God what have you done
I'm a thin blue cliché, hopelessly
I'm a mouthful of doubtful

Decidedly willing to lie for you
Say again
Willing to cry for you
Finally saying goodbye to you
A part of you I'll never know

Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky
While your garden died
You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars?
Endless in your arms

You were still alive even as the sad astronaut

Lyrics to The Worst :
How does it start?
When does it end?
Blood and love graces everyone
You only want to touch it once

He didn't give it up
She wasn't long enough
They didn't save your falling smile
He never had a chance

But there it is
You're finally blessed
And you can't handle it

The worst

What did it say?
All you really need is love
But you're gonna make those fuckers pay
You're gonna hurt someone

That's all there really is
The ones that don't survive
They lied to you a thousand times
And you're starving heart has died

But there it is
You're finally blessed

Failure, failure, failure
A cement frown breaking
Allows a straight line blown away
It fell at thirteen

You're wide awake
Hours blind every winding curve
You start the fall from grace

The worst

You never had a chance

But here it is
You're finally blessed

Lyrics to Creepy :
What if I had nothing left?
What if I had no one left?
Why would I:
Who would I survive?

Dead man, he leaves his home
Hopeless, he holds his goals higher, higher, low

I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With a real smile on your face

What if you felt certainty?
Granted trust when you were young
Why would you:
How would you let go?

I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With an expectation
I just wanted to see you wake up one day
With a real smile on your face

Lyrics to Infectious :
Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached
Each one a failed synapses detached from fact
One positive, one negative
Desperate, holding on to healthy images

Remember witness, wattness, matters, we're not gonna make it
Provoking everyone but no one gives a:

Half laugh, half sigh
Half-sad, half-smile
Losing ability to recall his half-life
Burn from the stove
Keys locked inside
Dazed as impending anger turns up in reprise

Remember green light, keeper, easy and eyes on the road ahead
Provoking everyone with all the words he said

Infectious
I won't speak of all that would have been
Gained, lost, spent
But I won't think of all that could have been

Controlled, consumed
Thoughts unattached
Outburst, these images are melding in my head
Remember Franken, Milkweg, Lintfabrik
The weirdest we have seen
Fires and blown-out tires
Perfect tragedy

Infectious
I won't think of all that should have been
Waste, lost, spent
But I won't think of all that could have been

Goodbye old friend I won't speak of all that could have been

Lyrics to Days Of New :
The days are full of storybook romance,
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you,
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you,
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half

The days are new, the nights unwind
You break my world, you change my mind
Run out of love, come down from life
Run out of pain, my life has changed

It's obvious it's all been said
in cheesy poems and chick flicks
The mushy shit that people say,
it makes us chuckle everyday
So how can I express to you
the recent dramas we've been through
I wouldn't have been fine without your help

The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life
Run out of love, run out of life
Come down from hate, the world has changed

But we may never have met if it weren't for him
Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening

Today's mantra is gratitude
You changed my life
I'm sure you knew I'll never forget the words that you said
The life that you lead

I'll never forget I'll never forget
I'll never forget I'll never forget

Lyrics to The Chemist (Acoustic) :
One more time we become
Masquerade under sun
Passionless vacation
You’re not telling anyone

The sun falls in the hole
It’s chemistry, chemical
Follow the pattern if you can
Stick around it will change again

One more line, stay focused
Hollow quiet, I feel sick
Misunderstanding, ten feet tolerance
I’m not telling anyone
You’re not telling anyone

The sound is atrocious
The mouse horrific
I recognize those last words
I’ll hold on to mine

Lying out in the sun
Keep it like a secret
Elements in the pool were all dried up and
Here comes the chemist again
This is everything I am.

Lyrics to Fallen :
yesterdays are numbered
in many ways we could see the fall coming
but lull prolonged, some will never belong
so children age into prisons
they establish aim with their poor inheritance
they build covert roads
some become addictions
suspicion in position
yeah it's bound to happen
i guess i thought you were going to be around
going to be rewound
but you were honest
i know you did the best one can

fallen

people speak of demons
they simplify the life that haunted you my friend
they rationalize trouble-free hypothesis
he's broken too damaged but bravely profound
i guess i thought you were going to astound
going to stand your ground
but you were forthright
i know it killed you to fail them

fallen

hey dogboy
the whish missiles we deploy
we needed them, believed in them
it's better to pretend
i guess i thought it was your rising
you're long drawn out win
'cause you were on it
i know you did the best one can
i thought you'd be around
i thought you'd be rewound
but everyone succumbs to sound
we are all fallen

Lyrics to Mission Unaccomplished :
rainy day I´m counting sheep in may
woke up dreaming of the sun and the
you could have done mid-life
lent i´ve come here to repent in a
time-lapse document meaningful as when
we met through the laugh-track I´m still
wailing for you mission accomplished

hey man i´m alive i hope
they don´t mind i changed my mind

tumble down white hills in blue background
even in this dream sequence you won´t
explain nor confess

mission unaccomplished still out here

Lyrics to Live It Down :
the planer´s lost and all I need to line
my bed with handkerchiefs to bay my
fatigue to build a case of true love lost
and lives erased to live guilt free in a
foretold destiny

he found a hill where he stakes his claim
and he´ll build a house where he´ll
martyr his children

the trees wheeze out the ocean rise
he´s gaining ground in his high-rise with
all proceeds from rewritten history in
fairytales he still believes

he breathes and thrives and he´s
immunized but he´s paralyzed and
he´s sure to die off soon running for
the middle higher ground but lower
while all his coasts are running off cold
waters boil mother earth´s rage his
house and family have washed away
where was his savior his promised
road he followed every rule they ever
sold he saw his world as a vapor life
support

we colonize and we multiply as we
suck it dry yeah we´re sure to die off

live it down live it down livid
live it down

Lyrics to Fallen :

Lyrics to Memoirs And Landmines :
All that I know
Things are going slow
And we cannot forgo
Life on Death Row
And I'll miss you

Hail to the Chief
Abusing his control
He can never weep
He lost his soul
To his ego

All that we face
Slowly being erased
These memoirs have no date
It seems like such a waste

Memoirs and landmines
I remember where I'm from
Still fresh in my mind
I remember where I'm from

???

Goodbye

Cartoons and creatures
I remember where I'm from
Unworthy teachers
I remember where I'm from

Straight through the stop signs
I remember where I'm from
Why an I driving home?

All that I know
Slowly being erased
These memoirs have no date
It seems like such a waste

Lyrics to Errands :
that´s it let´s move to new york city
and we won´t even say good bye we´ll
find a place where we can start a fight
and feel good to be alive

and so we´ll drive across the country
on this endlséss holiday you take the
short cut and i´ll watch life pass i can´t
remember who dove last

errands why don´t you think they´d understand
errands why don´t you think for the next tweak
it´s gonna be the last mistake you make
and it´s going to devastate all of them

we´re on our way oh no we´re on
our way to run more errands travelers
without a plan and i´ve been awake
for way to long i can´t remember who i am

errands why don´t you think they´d understand
errands why don´t you think for the next tweak
it´s going to be the your legacy
and it´s going to devastate all of them

Lyrics to No Little Pill :
i thought the west was won but
seems like i had just begun to lose all
ideals i once knew mountains and
transmutation anxious anticipation
these sodden skiey and burning views
short goals and grim objectives soon
rising seas will take your homes
benchmarks and sure salvation creation
and temptation black lungs sing vituous
hate songs antibiotics and disinfectants
germaphobes for stronger infection
cowboys on steroids love tabloids
expecting endless surplus soon they´ll
have nothing left to waste racing from
dogma to distrust unsure why they all
hate us

think about it the world defines you
think about it you should be depressed
and no little pill will make any difference

people for atto seconds bow to the
idiocracy media spun reality nightmares
comes every shut-eye still they won´t
see what they become still they won´t
see what they have done power mad
mass corruption blood money changes
everyone wake each day in panic
and distrust knowing that they all hate
us

think about it the world describes you
think about it you should be anxious
and no little pill will make any difference

Lyrics to B Side :
if you could feel your legs falling out then
you might find your strength to stand your
ground then you´d be close to them
then you´d be close to god but you
know you´re not

if you could make a fist you could punch
if you could fly your faith you could jump
born in security fear of most everything
and anyone you can be

it could have been dull kristina
we could have been sane it isn´t just death
drugs and lost love these honors leave
stains just let the freaks of failure sing over-
night songs the b side is real and it
plays on

hey kristina are you sleeping in i´m
leaving you another long message
interstate ten i lost my voice again this
game was fixed it seems that i´ve been
eighty-sixed

but your life is one zero zero one in
analog faith and even if you connect
them too little too late ´cause your life
is like a b side its odder then a the
b side is real and it plays on

on and on
