Lyrics:
Take your head
Rest it on the floor, if not your bed
For now the choice is yours, but in the end
We are all just visitors here
take your heart
make it with your brush to line the halls
The beauty is in facing the walls
we are all just visitors here
Life means so much more
for that it's spent
in a short, warm moment
The sunset on a perfect day
provides the context
to view the sunlight
Take your badge
place it on the wall with all the rest
We only get a lifetime to see
We only get a lifetime to see
we're all just visitors here

Lyrics:
Crimson flames tied to my ears
rolling high and mighty traps
pounced with fire on flaming roads
using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges soon" said I,
proud 'neath heated brow
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate" I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers,
foundationed deep, somehow.
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Girls faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy
to memorising politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists, un-thought-of though, somehow
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Self-ordained professors tongue, too serious to fool
spouted out that "liberty is just equality" in school
"Equality", I spoke the word as if a wedding vow
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preached
My existence lead by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Yes my guard stood hard when abstract threats, too noble to neglect
deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
"Good" and "Bad", I defined these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Lyrics:
Line up for the chain gang
What your crime was they can't explain
It's a sickness if you're wondering
Whalefall, marble crumbling
Scavengers come out to feast
Orpheus' lyre mumbling
Tempted from what is real by the beast
Dress up for the funeral pyre
Masquerade as a signal fire
Affectation over empathy
Saddle up for the blame game
There's no time to make your case
Now the children run the nursery
Angels cry out, warning you
Keeping gates and sewing seeds
Pious priests, digital
Consecrating linguistic territory

Lyrics:
Weighed down by fast food chains
Consuming to find meaning
Music as a sport
Cry out
Let slip the dogs of war
It's a long way down
It was a long way to fall
We'd make the call, but the price is steep
We're nothing but pragmatic
Subsisting on revenge
Indulging in a lazy form of grief
It's a long way down
It was a long way to fall
It's a long way down
But we're giving it our all

Lyrics:
Moving as if in a trance
the puppet began to dance
moving his mouth to the things they said,
carving their name in his wooden head.
lifted by golden rings
soft, caressing strings
and so the puppet boy sang the words from the wings
You got lucky
Little Puppet Boy
And you owe it to us
Little Puppet Boy
Nothing more than a mask
the puppet never turns to ask
all of the things that fill his head
the reason or rhyme of the things he said
and fearing his release
severed, broken strings
Still the puppet boy sings the words from the wings.
He fears his release, above other things.
The impotence brought on by broken strings.
So under his spotlight,
the puppet boy opines
spouting words his wooden hands could never write.
You got lucky
Little Puppet Boy
And you owe it to us
Little Puppet Boy
You're a superstar
Little Puppet Boy
you're the new sensation
Little Puppet Boy

Lyrics:
I don't know you
Why are you talking to me
I'm not the best at conversation
So what do you want from me
I've got you down
You don't know my brief
But you want to be seen with me
To throw your shadow into sharp relief
You wear a face I can't see through
I can't deal with you
I don't understand you
I'd say I have misanthropic tendencies
But you keep on at me
Where do you think it's gonna lead?
People used to know you
But I can tell you something
I don't know why you left them
But your search has come to nothing
There's nothing left of you
I can't deal with you

Lyrics:
Such big eyes you squander on the blaming
A sharpened silver spoon is unsheathed from your lips
Books that lie beneath your feet
May yet improve your posturing
As you tiptoe trying to find your way
Through woods such as this
And if you close your eyes to this lie
You may yet begin to dream
Such big hand to hold your pockets tightly
To hide the truth that there may be something there
You can't allow the world to see
The track-marks of the luxury
It's a shame that you're so privileged
But a cross you'll have to bear
And so you wear the dirt stains proudly
As any little girl should
And you pour soul
As the wolf tears at your little read victimhood
Such sharp words to cut your teeth on
You'll draw the first blood to start the circling
Such dull instruments to take a shot at dialect
Suited to torturing but not to surgery
And if you try sometimes
You might find you get what you deserve
Talk with me and I'll stay a while
Walk with me and I'll walk with you
Such big lies contort and change
All the better to see you with
There's good and bad no in between
And victory takes everything
The lie reflects the bigger truth
And justifies the means
But you still wear the dirt stains proudly
As any little girl should
And you pour soul
As the wolf tears at your little read victimhood
