Leading Pigs to Poison, Part One
We led our sick to the edge of the shore
In hopes they'd get the message.
It's gone far enough.
This is the end of everything we knew
And boy, is it a long time coming.
We've been dead for so long, now,
We've forgotten what it meant to breathe.
Now here's the last of the thoughts of our dying youth,
Right before the sickness took them straight to the 'deep end'
There's a current comin' in
It looks like it's beckonin'
Hungry for blood, blood of the sick,
The sick have been dead for days and days
Years have become lifetimes before their very...
In hopes they'd get the message.
It's gone far enough.
This is the end of everything we knew
And boy, is it a long time coming.
We've been dead for so long, now,
We've forgotten what it meant to breathe.
Now here's the last of the thoughts of our dying youth,
Right before the sickness took them straight to the 'deep end'
There's a current comin' in
It looks like it's beckonin'
Hungry for blood, blood of the sick,
The sick have been dead for days and days
Years have become lifetimes before their very...

Little Big Foot
We've been lost in a room of our own past selves,
thinking 'who the hell are they?'
We've been guided by fate to walk a path
that has grown vines and faded almost completely away.
If we gave up now, well, then we've given up before
And we're reminded of homesick romance songs that have kind of lost their touch.
And now I'm singing songs with someone else
That I used to sing with someone else
And we would sing them with other people
Before we knew what the words even meant
Our generation is a group who speaks of the old days and the 'used to be's'...
thinking 'who the hell are they?'
We've been guided by fate to walk a path
that has grown vines and faded almost completely away.
If we gave up now, well, then we've given up before
And we're reminded of homesick romance songs that have kind of lost their touch.
And now I'm singing songs with someone else
That I used to sing with someone else
And we would sing them with other people
Before we knew what the words even meant
Our generation is a group who speaks of the old days and the 'used to be's'...

Very Close Varicose Veins
All through the night
we've whispered words that have no meaning.
blood for blood, leaves the whole world thirsty
your admiration has been mistaken for pity
so climb down from that throne and let your servants do the talking
as you're cut ear to ear you remember a good joke that leaves you in stitches.
fast forward to the ancestors you've ruined with your bad name
A waste of blood due to a long lost curse
forgive us not, for we are blind men
leading a herd of lame men to the slaughterhouse
Choose to abuse that power
And see just how far your family...
we've whispered words that have no meaning.
blood for blood, leaves the whole world thirsty
your admiration has been mistaken for pity
so climb down from that throne and let your servants do the talking
as you're cut ear to ear you remember a good joke that leaves you in stitches.
fast forward to the ancestors you've ruined with your bad name
A waste of blood due to a long lost curse
forgive us not, for we are blind men
leading a herd of lame men to the slaughterhouse
Choose to abuse that power
And see just how far your family...

Tundra
These cold feet just drag these days.
These cold feet just pain and ache.
I hold them close to fires for long periods of time
And then wonder what that burning is I taste
And more often than not I pretend I'm dead
Just to show others that everyone rots
And it might seem morbid to think that someone could be that sad
But then again some people pretend that they're not
And so I am eating breakfast and not really tasting it
I am not living life but I still try to get through it
The taste of blood coats my throat and I am reminded of how sick I've been...
These cold feet just pain and ache.
I hold them close to fires for long periods of time
And then wonder what that burning is I taste
And more often than not I pretend I'm dead
Just to show others that everyone rots
And it might seem morbid to think that someone could be that sad
But then again some people pretend that they're not
And so I am eating breakfast and not really tasting it
I am not living life but I still try to get through it
The taste of blood coats my throat and I am reminded of how sick I've been...

I Kill for Pills
I've lost my face.
I'm losing lots today.
Hear them shaking your bones
Hear them eating those stones.
We've been dead for years
It's about time someone gave us a proper burial
Tongues have bled for words not said
And everyone's killing each other
God is not real and neither is love
And nothing is worth your life
I'm losing lots today.
Hear them shaking your bones
Hear them eating those stones.
We've been dead for years
It's about time someone gave us a proper burial
Tongues have bled for words not said
And everyone's killing each other
God is not real and neither is love
And nothing is worth your life

The Power of Memory
Nostalgia is a cruel mistress
once you have decided to give it up,
it comes right back to bite
Remember when we ran just to prove we could?
Remember the fake fights in the night?
Do you remember when we helped clean some girls house
for a couple packs of cigarettes?
Now all I think of is how I'll die.
If I'll go out a man or I will die of fright.
nobody knows unless God's real.
I'm sure the fickle bastard will work something out.
God, to see your face light up when we sing down the road,
freezing our asses off.
or when we make jokes no...
once you have decided to give it up,
it comes right back to bite
Remember when we ran just to prove we could?
Remember the fake fights in the night?
Do you remember when we helped clean some girls house
for a couple packs of cigarettes?
Now all I think of is how I'll die.
If I'll go out a man or I will die of fright.
nobody knows unless God's real.
I'm sure the fickle bastard will work something out.
God, to see your face light up when we sing down the road,
freezing our asses off.

Skies Will Die
I have spoken to God and he has abandoned us.
no man can enter heaven ever again.
under the ocean is where everyone ends up.
rotting flesh that absorbs enough salt to kill just about anything.
this I know, I feel it in my bones.
we are all separate islands that will eventually die alone.
So forgive the skies.
they'll weep for you when it is your time.
and this knowledge comes with a price.
the ocean hungers for me tonight.
I don't wish to beg for mercy.
I merely ask why
why should we continue to live like we're dying
and die when you feel...
no man can enter heaven ever again.
under the ocean is where everyone ends up.
rotting flesh that absorbs enough salt to kill just about anything.
this I know, I feel it in my bones.
we are all separate islands that will eventually die alone.
So forgive the skies.
they'll weep for you when it is your time.
and this knowledge comes with a price.
the ocean hungers for me tonight.
I don't wish to beg for mercy.
I merely ask why
why should we continue to live like we're dying
and die when you feel...
