stand close to the fire
lean into the flame
don't you raise your hand
until we call your name
you must come
you must come
you must come
you must come
and stay silent
cover your face in black ash
paint away your fear
out among the tall reeds
your time is coming near
you must wave
you must wave
you must wave
you must wave
to the oncoming light
now's the time to rise as it ends
what is your gift to give
raise yourself and make your demands
fight for your right to live
you were born
you were born
you were born
you were born
to the oncoming sun

i was tryin
to mail a letter
but the old man ahead
was takin forever
he was rude
he was rude to the teller
she was tired but she knew
this wouldn't get any better
hot winner in the mail
an Algerian prince
wanted to share
all all all all all all all
all of his wealth
hurry up
don't be late
i don't want him to sell
this could be the greatest thing
so just send me all your hard earned shells
just send me all your hard earned stone
just send me all your hard earned dinero
just send me all your money
an old man drooling with dementia
spent 256 dollars to a crime
an old man drooling with dementia
spent 256 dollars to waste my time

The Greatest
03:58

broke my jaw so i couldn't speak
to see if i was the greatest
bled me till my legs were weak
to see if i was the greatest
bound my hands and blinded my sight
to see if i was the greatest
suffered at the hands of the right
to see if i was the greatest
forced wet mud down my throat
to see if i was the greatest
held me underwater to see if i'd float
to see if i was the greatest
shit waste in my feeding bowl
to see if i was the greatest
lock me in a cage like an animal
to see if i was the greatest
burnt my skin to kill my soul
to see if i was the greatest
my body was fed to cannibals
now i am the greatest
...
I AM THE GREATEST
I AM THE GREATEST
I AM THE GREATEST
I AM THE GREATEST

If All I Had
05:46
|
|||
|
i was on a field trip
and the next thing i knew
i was locked in the men's room
with a bunch of children
they'd all been fed dollar draft and nickel shots
and were beating each other furiously
about the face and hands
till their fingers were all broken
and their shins were all splitted
one of them looked up at me and said
hey faggot why don't you man up?
we're not friends if we're not throwing shit sticks at each other
one day the zookeeper will come
and wash all the animals
i don't even like the house band
and if all i had was a little rock
i'd throw it in a lake
not give a second thought
if all i had was a piece of paper
write you a little note
nail it to your headboard
if all i had was a pair of scissors
go to your favourite thrift store
cut off all the labels
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
and if all i had was a giant stone
leave it on the front lawn
take the damn thing for granted
and if all i had was a cardboard box
i'd cut out a hole
so i would have a window
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
the winner is you
rock paper scissors
rock paper scissors
rock paper scissors
rock paper scissors
rock paper scissors
rock paper scissors
rock paper scissors
rock rock rock rock
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
if all i had
the winner is you

do you go to the bar after the hospital
do you go to the hospital after the bar
was it you drinkin doubles after you're admitted
crashin that black ambulance into your heart
hospital bartender
paralyzer make you numb
tranquilizer to kill the tongue
medication what i'm payin
i got 13 painkillers for 13 killer pains
hospital bartender
well the sickness let me beat it
and dream stole my wealth
sedated in the company of myself
so if you're packin a pistol
best leave hind the shelf
cause when i do a shot
i do it to your health
hospital bartender

Blue Violet
06:05

sine sound waves
beams across sight
ultra UV
blue violet
sun rays
pass out into echoes
hard pulse passes
waves resonate
rotating always in flux
shift of plates
ripple and return
vibrata grand
for the sound
shifts sand
topples pieces
until peace
though the line
may appear to be flat
there will still emerge a peep
though the line
may appear to be flat
there will still emerge a peep
there will still emerge
a peep

Nightingale
04:14

|
my mother was a nightingale
who would sing me off to sleep
in the darkness i could hear her
gently weep
my father was a sparrow
who would cry out loud at the break of dawn
his shrill voice carries with me
all day long
my brothers were the black crows
who would cackle scream from above
though they laughed at me i could only
feel loved
my mother was a nightingale
who would sing me off to sleep
in the darkness i could hear her
gently weep
