The Dead Eye

Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions The structure's true foundations rest within you The price we pay for sheer indifference Surrendered self - you're discount spare parts You give up your rights for your limitations and abandon all hope One step further down the line as the flood begins to rise You're on your knees faking ambition Now close your eyes and bleed I know there are things from the past that should never be brought back The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges In simplified innane depictions of a different world A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them As you give up your rights for your limitations and lay down your arms One step further down the line as the flood begins to rise You're on your knees faking ambition Now close your eyes In the darkest corner of my mind I see a boy with a crooked smile With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire Singin a song out of time Now if you believe I'll bleed for you... and if I could bleed - so could you Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away but you know that you've got nothing to lose

She was a little girl and I was only just learning to crawl I would call her name to see her beautiful eyes glow Look at me Look at me They tell you to hold on and say that one day you'll understand Well I'm still waiting I'm still here I want something more Something kind Something more She was a little jonesy, oh I should know He was a little backwards man with nothing much to show And everything she said would leave me cold And everything he did leads to nowhere It all amounts to this... All this time I never knew who you really were We pass it down, it keeps repeating We break and run, we keep deceiving I am becoming - I am become I am becoming - I am the one I am reflection I am the sun I am the shadow I am the gun I want something more Something kind Something pure

It's a waste of kindness and hard-earned cash A trap for those in possession of doubt - lacking choices Through all these misgivings an arrogant smile You're the perfect victim Forgive my lack of empathy, Oh, I just love watching you bleed The things you do for gold and green You're so amusing I saw what you did, and how much it hurt you Some things never heal They'll approve for as long as you fall on spit-covered concrete and gold plate stars The greed is appaling Your soul is a ghost Now your flesh is for sale Forgive my lack of empathy, Oh, I just love watching you bleed The things you do for gold and green You're pulling teeth for pleasure Well if this is the road we choose If this is the path preferred If this is where we're headed now Welcome to hell... So fuck your mask Fuck your bland conceit Fuck your precious croonies too Confess Stooge Forgive my lack of empathy, Oh, I just love watching you bleed The things you do for gold and green It's like pulling teeth for pleasure Well if this is the road we choose If this is the path... If this is where We're headed now...

Seaweeds like emerald veins she sleeps beneath the breaking weight A silent dying ocean's slow defeat The floods will rise and take us all An end to all this quarrel A final grace to rid her grief Oh, Mother show no mercy for me Wash the stains away Come unto me again Open yourself beneath us all (swallow) Purge the soil Burn the surface Erase Erase Erase the past again Oh, she will sleep like a breathing fire's kiss upon you Oh, my darling dear walk carefully Perhaps she'll still be there? (Wake up!) The rivers to rise again Wash the stains away Come unto me again Open yourself beneath us all (swallow) Purge the soil Burn the surface Erase Erase Erase the past again

She is a saint Her womb is a place of rejection She washes her perfect skin quietly and hates me for being real Kill the lights and listen for noises to give you away Sanctuary I need a place where I can feel... John James Hewitt (1931-1969) The Orchard: "It feels like we're all locked up in little cages" "The ceiling is closing in, and the walls... The walls are closing in - Can't you feel that?" I will turn my eyes away I will not turn into stone No more accusations and lies She's spreading her self Flesh giving way to flesh I watch her bones I'm being eaten alive Remove the eyes Remove the eyes Remove intentions and kill the lights Her love is a blinding line of fire to where I stand Her love is as cold as her desire I'll never be free

Generic, symbolic bullshit Simplified, cliche rehash It's all streamlined, adjusted to match Pimped-up junk rides and a minimum life span Consider a truth (and you hate it) It's all just a game to you (so you lose) I'll give you a clue (a foul taste to prove) If you do what they pay you to do - what are you? A common thief should feel more pride than you Washed out, dumbed down crash site No brian conceptional straight faced lies An army of well-dressed mannequins House-broke clones without a clue as to why and what for... The harder you fight it (the more you lose) Because it's all right there (in the fine print) Never mind how you go about it The sad truth; it's just a part of the process... A common thief should feel more pride than you Move - move the goods Push - keep pushing the product

Keep your sticky fingers off me I hate the stench of you Sickening and stale The sharp synthetic lies Bleach amyl, dust and sweat Cold hands and shivers inside Who was a victim and who are you to say? I was so much younger then all these years I've kept my silence Save your sympathies Shut up and give in There is no sin, nothing can change it (we're all alone) Once the damage is done... I never wanted this I blame me Shut up and give in There is no sin, nothing can change it (nothing at all) Once the damage is done...

Give it away, watch it turn - there's nothing I can do for you These are my very last and don't we all know it... As chemistry turns into crime I'm helplessly watching it die You were never supposed to be someone who'd get this close This is not my victory Get your sickness away from me Accusations in velveteen Tear it up, tear it open and lay it beside me... Show me a way, something frail gimme one reason to break these chains I played your very last - all your desires But something inside of me broke I used to be more than this... You were never supposed to be someone who'd get this close This is not my victory Get your sickness away from me Accusations in velveteen Tear it up, tear it open and lay it beside me... Together we fall Together we fail Drain me from all life inside I will hurt you ever so carefully We will breathe in unison through an ironlung for the lost things we become I'll be your crown of thorns you'll be my cross to bear You hate me so good

There is no real way out, no I'm still in here fighting I've been losing forever, destroying myself in spite Grind my teeth Breaking myself I nurtured a snake So keep your misery and wellput sympathies I am not your alibi (I am not the one) God knows I loved you so There's nothing left Here take it all, I'm so disgusted I can't take no more Keep it all - good fucking riddance I hate myself just fine alone I know just how to hold my own I gave you my all So keep your misery and wellput sympathies I am not your alibi (I am not the one) God knows I loved you so There's nothing left With everything you said Every time you lied Every single step I knew you'd come around and show me who you are Leave me with the scars I've been waiting for you With every single lie The stains you left behind I'll never close my eyes again You're nothing I am not your alibi God knows I loved you so There's nothing...

Crawl inside it Become the sickness Drink it Elevate the threshold Destroy the mind And you suffocate You learn to hate yourself And take on the blame As it burns (Sweeping the ghosts away) (But they keep coming back) And it burns (The sky is turning red) It burns (We're right at the end) And it's all dead quiet at the centre of the pain Tighten the noose Ascend the scaffold And give in Assume the position Bow down your head A ritual to purify Undo what is Absolve Everlasting the torture And it's all dead quiet at the centre of the pain
