The Sweet Word

the best thing coming to town
is my knee deep cannibal sound
it's gotta eat to keep from starving
so raise your fist and put it down
until the garbage reaches your mouth
you got to eat to keep from starving
open wide
cause i've got lies to tell you
all the sprouting grass will die from lack of light

The Modern Wretch

do not galvanize the modern wretch
he seeks truth among the flesh among the flesh
he prays in whispers for his bread
and meets each day without a head without a head
candy sequences his thoughts
he breeds a lie each time his sickness is caught
he boasts about the wars he fought
his scars are painted on his battles have taught him
nothing, him, nothing
he cancels every plan he makes
a thousand gods a week that he forsakes
no man or beast can give him grace
a family of dinosaurs he must face
nothing, him, nothing

Me and the Curb

it's time to walk through mud
i'll look back on these days
and regret my lack of love
for the saints you sent my way
whom my mind made me unable to touch
but that doesn't change who i am
i like to sabotage myself
there he goes there he goes
it's time to walk through mud
at one time i tried to achieve the ideal
but i'm sucked in by all that i lack
but if this life is such a mess
why am i worse off when i forge my own path
i don't wanna jerk off
and i don't wanna smoke cigarettes
and i don't wanna hate the world
and i don't wanna hate myself

the crippled crowd chokes down and laughs
as they make light of savage acts
the teachers suffer silently
and give the books they'll never read
they're in the streets craving blood
they're on the tv playing dumb
and we didn't choose to be like this
but we're not like the other kids
i pray for peace
but then remember where i am
there is no peace
when you are the enemy
our numbers grow
beyond their means
we're raised by vice and empty dreams
down to every turn
where mind is waste
eyeless fish and ships of fools ride the final wave

i was born on a sinking ship.
raised in a dying forest.
moved to crumbling city after crumbling city.
and now wait for at last to come
