Satan, gather yourself
You're going home in a dustpan
Same as before
Get up off the floor
What's the point of running away
When you come back to find me
The same as before
One foot out the door
I remember the plans in my head

Nothing's Better Than
05:25

Laid in grass, from the past
Do you believe the words tattooed on you?
Then at last, you ask
"Do you believe in something new?"
Nothing's better than getting what's deserved and saying what's been heard before
Nothing's better than knowing what's in store, who's behind the door, is it you?
Aliens on the train
Why do they talk without feeling on their face?
People talk way too much
It almost like they have something they want to say

Twenty days from when you last saw blood
I never was the same
Before then, the fight was good
Only have ourselves to blame
That that's stolen from the people
Is that that's emptied from our hearts
The fear that's planted into people's heads
Is the fear that tears us apart
Evil come, evil go
Hold your breath and take the blow
Last one got you so damn low
When the walls were gonna break, you said
"I'm a dirtbag human and I've got no place
I take what I want and I want what I take"
They say you can't be human til you walk like one
So why don't you choose to run?
Why don't you take it easy
And talk about it with your friends
If you go a little deeper
You'll find the cycle never ends
Find a little more compassion
Gotta practice what you preach
And when you wake up with the answer
It'll be impossible to teach

Altercation

Night turns into day
Sun just falls away
I'm gonna show you now
Not gonna show you how
How to shed your skin
Life begins again
I'm gonna show you how
Not gonna show you now
Altercation
Oberman approach
Handing you his roach
Portrait of fear
Cold and insincere
Punch him in the face
He should have known his place
Heard him on the phone
Someone told him to go home

Sometimes I dream of making friends with an enemy
How I long for common ground beneath our feet
Sometimes I swear that you can hear the silence fill the air
Passing glances all around, you and I live there
How do you spell regret?
Where's the beginning and the end?
Sometimes we think that we're infallible until you see
Your own mother in the gutter, staring at your feet
Sometimes your life, it feels like mine, I have to stop myself
Because in everybody's mind, they're the only one alive
Some never live, but then again some people never die
But we're all alive tonight

Tell me how you get along in Saigon
Houses made of siren songs in Saigon
If only we could be as fortunate as you
Tell me where you draw the shades, O Palisade
Sleeping inside empty graves
If only we could get that guarantee
Screams are coming from inside every time you tell a lie
A decadence that's only known to you
Softly creeping underfoot, slither inside every nook
Give me something we can fucking use
Tell me what am I to do, Inshoku
When all my friends look up to you
Up until my lips start turning blue

Hellscape

It's okay to kill part of yourself
No harm to anybody else
Been telling lies for far too long
Been doing all them people wrong
So long
O Captain, I think we're going down
Save yourself when the lovers go and drown
Been through this hellscape time and time again
Don't know if I can make it another round
What was the word I was looking for?
Barely there but impossible to ignore
Of course I'm not empty, I can always take the blows
Won't stop til I've opened every door
Forlorn
