From Parts Unknown

Blow your fucking brains out Blow your fucking brains out Tune that pale flame out Extinguish the glow forever And in will come the sun In will come the sun In will come the sun In will come the sun Blindfold your eyes, you are loved Trust in her aim, you are loved Now dance to the grave, you are loved No one will ever know who they are So blow your fucking brains out Blow your fucking brains out Tune that pale flame out Crack the egg wide open Out will pour enough Out will pour enough Once you stop believing in yourself Silence the voice So raise your antenna towards the sky Put blood in the well if it dries What is now instead of what is next Our reflections only draw us to our deaths Tell yourself nothing Tell yourself nothing Tell yourself nothing Let the word come Let the word come Let the word come All eyes off All eyes off Drift without sight All eyes off All eyes off Drift without sight Blow your fucking brains out Blow your fucking brains out

Sever the nerve, the skin, the scale Gather your bones from beyond the pale Come out of the wild and into the world Burn all the books, put out your eyes Lower your sword, the end is nigh Sink through the pinewood and into the dirt Out of your body and into the sky Out of your body and into the sky Give in Voices will carry us Turn around Find your way back to the start Love is the way Love is the only way Love is the only way out Love is the way Love is the only way Love is the only way out Don't freeze up in the headlights Welcome it in Walk through the storm to the eye The birth will be calm The birth will be quiet But the dark had such long arms Pulling me down Sliding back into my head Where all of it is thought without awareness Where there is no foresight only penitence I could scratch at the door but I will never get in So I rise above or sink below So I rise above or sink below Either way I am false At the center is all I tripped up at the breakthrough I was scared to die So the gate locked, the light vanished Now where am I I was startled by the great height I doubted my heart Now the wine turns to water And I am coming apart

Yeah, I ain't afraid of the dark I ain't worried about the savages loose in the night But you show me the things I've done and, girl, you know I get ch-ch-chills all down my crooked spine Kill the lights Kill the lights Kill the lights I've seen too much If so below, then as above Lord knows I've seen enough It's crystal clear and uglier than I thought Desperate and lonely juggernauts Illuminate the filth With the glow of your righteous heart Shine a light upon the world And I'll scurry back to the dark Lights on (Hey, hey) Rats out (Hey, hey) Somebody turn on the light (Hey, hey) Get the rats out (Hey, hey) The uppers lower me into the hive The lights are low, us weeds come alive Downers pick me up into a ditch I cannot scratch this never-ending itch Salvation is a hell of a thing Salvation is a hell of a thing Salvation is a hell of a thing Pull the dust up over your eyes I don't believe I'll have a revelation with all these secrets of mine And if I ever have a holy vision, it's going to be two at a time I got so much soul in me that I'm barely alive I've been down and out for so long I can't be revived Yeah, I ain't afraid to be long lost I ain't bothered by the silence, the cold, or the roads that stretch for miles But you show me the man I've become and, girl, you know I want to tie up a rope and crack my crooked spine Kill the lights Kill the lights Kill the lights I've seen too much

I should've drowned in the flood with the rest I had the chance The current was pitiless And proof of man was wiped from the face of Earth The song, the dance Yeah, I should've gone with it Alas, alas, I'm stranded alone in the wake Now I have lost all sight of the grave When did I ever say that I wanna be saved? I can see for miles but it don't look the same When no road has been paved go up Go up Go up Go up Now how am I gonna get down? I want a slow death wrought from the dregs "I wanna be sedated," just like Joey said I want the heaviest heart I have eaten my weight in gold I can see only what I'm shown up here But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things Love cannot find us So get out of my way I got out of my own way Better a tramp than a captive Better alone than lonely with all these "friends" What in the fuck am i doing here? Why did the rapture not take me in? It is my curse to carry on I should've died when I was young I should still be burning lung If I had known what I'd become I should've drowned in the flood with the rest I had the chance, but here I am

We opened the box and looked inside Two animals, one is dead, one's alive All we think we know is always wrong The heavens fell in a thick awful shroud Covered the earth, but there wasn't a sound Nobody saw it so nobody heard it All the equations won't solve the uncertain Everything's dead until it's alive Man will exist and then he will die Just take the ride Just take the ride See it now See it now Shift the absurd and the reasoned around Make it so Make it so Build holy places with towering stones Open your eyes, it's all there inside Everything gone and forgotten survives Everything we know we think is wrong All the lead becomes gold All the squares get circled All the graves, emptied and covered up We toil and we rot And terrible things happened just like I thought The cycle carried on Until I thought nothing more and heartache was gone Love it as it is Whatever the fuck this is Or destroy it and start again What we are is in your head Hell broke loose, the stars unaligned I looked for a kingdom that I'll never find All I thought I knew was always wrong I threw out the map, let go of the reins Led by a stranger into the strange The answer is that there's no answer at all The answer is that there's no answer at all Everything's dead until it's alive Man will exist and then he will die Just take the ride Just take the ride

Pay no mind To the stranger in The 4 AM He's not the one we know And he knows I slept through the war You waged with him For a little bit Until he cracked your bones And you had to let go So I make believe I've discovered peace But I'll skin the man alive And sell the meat I'll wait in the dirt Where he left your blood If he returns for it I can make it right for good Oh, how I wish he would Lost you in the overflowing fog That's been here awhile So I plan to keep watch As long as the wolves are out They're always around And more violet than hell I have eyes of every color now And they're vigilant It doesn't matter who knocks You don't let them in There are terrible men I'm one so I should know Heaven smiles on me now and then But the devil always had hooks in All I want is his head And this horrible fucking world Will be wonderful again There is so much beauty and love And when I eat his beating heart I can bring it back to us All I want is his head And this horrible fucking world Will be wonderful again There is so much beauty and love And when I eat his beating heart I can bring it back to us There's nothing that I couldn't do Except cover you When the slings and arrows came And I've never been the same The same

Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Right before your very eyes I slipped off the husk I mastered the slight There's a getaway car that's been waiting my whole life The engine has been running since the moment I arrived A trap door in the gallows let the charlatan out But smoke and mirrors box him in The rags and the bones were such a burden that I thought I'd collapse And only when I surrendered them did I find I had what it takes to burn myself at the stake Did you smell a rat? Did you smell a rat? Did you smell a rat? I had faked everything but my death Across the divide and onto the shore The strain on my back wasn't there anymore Wisdom teeth have replaced the fangs Wisdom teeth have replaced the fangs I've been scalped, scalped, scalped I've been knocked conscious and I still haven't come around There was so much trouble on my mind all the time Call on the ten thieves and tell them I'm ready I looked up and the desert was everywhere But insight comes through blackened eyes I climbed a hill to dig a hole in the ground where I could bury the faithlessness and the evidence that I was ever actually right My skin was on too tight I could not identify the body Us snakes evolve It's what snakes do I could not identify the body Shed the fur and leave the womb Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Peel off the leather and dig out your heart Peel off the leather and dig out your heart

There was gossip, there were pleas There were rumors of meaning in meaningless things Widows readied their marital beds Litters of bastards gnawed at your breast The filthy are first to be showered in love The world's gone mad We dress them in furs as they travel the Earth Saints wear rags You blessed our home, we took you in But you had come to a place where the plague had been It burrowed into your graces and airs It took your queen, it hawked your wares The stoic are first to be covered in shit And life goes on But when it don't anymore I'll see you in hell where I am God God damn it, wait They don't love you like I do But I don't know you like them They don't love you like I do They love you better, I know you best Every hostile deed is your death It's not mine Every hostile deed is your death It's not mine

I'm a great oasis Yeah, I'm a mirage I'm a beam of old light from a vanquished star and I'll only guide you into the dark I'm a parasite with a tapeworm Yeah, I got a bulletproof vest Knowing my bad luck I ain't ever gonna die So the good will never get any rest Come bail me out of the state I'm in The drinks I've had are no match for the truth The crowd down here put its teeth in us But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is So we leave it in and do those things that make us forget That we're dying here Oh, but we're dying here So love the blood while you can Let it warm your freezing hands I'm a dogless master Yeah, I'm a masterless dog And when the whip and the tether are put aside forever I'm an ox that wanders into the swamp I'm a rattlesnake across a braided rope I'm the demon on your side of the chalk If they caught them girls who started them fires Yeah, they'll track me down in the fog Come bail me out of the state I'm in The drinks I've had are no match for the truth The crowd down here put its teeth in us But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is So we leave it in and do those things that make us forget That we're dying here Oh, but we're dying here So love the blood while you can Let it warm your freezing hands You put a hex on me woman You're a thinner You're a thinner And these are nuclear winters Atomic black winters I've kept the fire alive because I'm a sinner I'm a sinner Come here and let me boil your blood I'm a train as long as the track I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back They strung me up by a rope as tall as the trees Though I land on my own two feet I still sway in the breeze

All of a sudden you're dead The ground cracks and takes you in You've no time to be born again There was nothing where something had been But every grave that blooms is anchored in miles of roots In the seed is the tree In the flesh is the feast There were worms in the hearts that you hoard They devour their way to the soul And the world is weakened from within A hole opens up and you're dead When I was pregnant I burned a witch alive At a hundred and one years old I gave birth to a cloud of smoke We are part of a great machine that inefficiently cycles grief In the beginning it puts the end and every cause is after effect There were worms in the hearts that you hoard They devour their way to the soul And the world is weakened from within A hole opens up and you're dead There's too much poison in our glass to make a toast to our health The cave that I built a kingdom on won't carry my weight The past is clearer than it's ever been Our mistakes made our selves Blood rushes out of our phantom limbs We take on the water we're floating in but I'll never be clean

You were alone when you came in You'll be alone when you leave again And in the middle there's nothing That can keep you around when it's time to go home Because everybody I lean on, since I don't trust myself Leans on someone else Watch the colonies collapse like dominoes I could beg and I could plead But all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland The fossils of the teen age are well preserved I crawled on hands and knees Just to be there with you And you moved on without me Scrap the crown Clean the slate Cut off your roots You're on your own Scrap the crown Clean the slate Cut off your roots You're on your own We all need something I'm a gypsy queen without a swarm and the burning bridges keep me warm I'm a new wave in a dried up stream I'm just trying to find my way out to the sea You were alone when you came in You'll be alone when you leave again And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around when it's time to go home Because everybody I lean on, since I don't trust myself Leans on someone else Watch the colonies collapse like dominos I could beg and I could plead But all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste Crush your allies Crush your allies Crush your allies Crush your allies

From my skin I emit flashing lights In my eyes all you find are flashing lights From my mouth every sound a warning bell Fill the room, kill the mood and overwhelm Break up the crowd Suck the life out Break up the crowd Suck the life out Paralyzed 'til the flesh crawls right off my bones I can't push words past the knot in my throat Water stands where once water could flow This is not my familiar broken home Hide your drugs, fix your shirt, turn it down I botched the lines, tongue is tied, get me out Scatterbrained, it can't be fixed, nothing fits Out of film, out of room, full eclipse Break up the crowd Suck the life out Break up the crowd Suck the life out The edges are made out of stone I built a maze I cannot get out of The edges are made out of stone This labyrinth I have trapped myself in Throw me a rope, throw me a rope, throw me a rope I'm trapped in a wreck under myself, pinned to an old soul While everyone I love Stays forever young The roads are blocked, the petals closed, they're on to me The song's too loud, I cannot dance, they're on to me The air, it weighs a ton The air, it weighs a ton All I want is for everyone to go to hell It's the last place I was seen before I lost myself All I want is for everyone to come to hell There we can be free and learn to love ourselves
