Spark To Rage

We have been on fire; we have been on fire
We have burned everything behind us, and
we have burned everything that was before us
The forest creatures will run for their lives
We will burn them alive
I have been on fire I've been smoldering for days
You caught on fire from the embers of my gaze
I abuse you with the merest of glances
Do I make you uncomfortable with my sexual advances?
We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We used to roar with color as we burned at the stake
Bodies of tree dwellers used to smoke in our wake
We licked at the edges, peeled skin hair breath and bone
But now we are a gray thing, ugly dead alone
We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We have been on fire, we have burned everything
I'm gonna crawl for safety, low beneath the smoke
Watch me writhe and curl, but you won't see me choke
I'm gonna hold a wet cloth tight against my face
But you'll see how the carcinogens imbue me with grace
I'm sick, I'm ill, I can never be defined
If I blow my nose I will for sure blow your mind
Kleenex on the table and your brains on the floor
Wipe it with my sleeve until it's covered with gore
We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We have been on fire, we have burned everything
Getting kinda nasty I'm spitting up blood
Oh wait it's just your face that I've been chewing like my cud
I'll burn you I'll roast you I'll eat you alive
I will take my spark to anger and I'll thrive thrive thrive thrive
We have been on fire; we have been on fire
We have burned everything behind us, and
We have burned everything that was before us
The forest creatures will run for their lives
We will burn them alive
I'm gonna scream for saltines and a glass of ginger ale
But you'll wish you had this virus when you see how I exhale
I'm gonna cry for smelling salts, an ice pack for my head
But you'll wish you looked this pretty, when you were almost dead
My liver is burned, and my spleen and aorta
My lungs are fucking ragged, not just kinda sorta
Guts as hard as lava rock, a bombed battleship
Heart flaking, insubstantial, perfect kale chip
You're a beautiful human I have nothing against you,
Nothing for you but
Love Fire Love Fire
Love
Fire
Love
Fire
Liar Liar Liar Liar

Something you told me
One thing you shared
The last thing she asked for
You brought it, you cared
A drink to sip on
Awaiting the dark
You bring it, she sips it
Melting, this part
You took on her flower
You took on the need
To be the good woman
And what does that bring?
The sex then the violence
The beatings ensued
Learn from your mother
Where does that leave you?
The chill frost
The milk it contains
Pour grape juice on it
Now watch the flames
It burns though it's cold
We have that effect
Bring on the darkness
And the violet
Look all you children
Look to the sky
It brightens and shines like flickering eyes
Watch your shadows
Watch how they cast
But bare your emotions for
The final glass
The final glass
The final glass
Bring on the darkness
Something mom told me
Something mom said
A drink to prepare
Requested from her mom's deathbed
A brandy perhaps?
A bourbon neat?
Impending darkness
It's what we'll all meet
And who could blame her
For wanting something sweet?
And as dutiful daughter
you didn't miss a beat
Go forth, good woman!
No need for alarm!
He'll give you his last name
And take away his charm
"Love and Marriage
Love and Marriage
It's an institute that you can't disparage"
Well tell that to those who've suffered
and died from it
They've tasted the darkness
The violet
The violet!

I try not to expect much from you
I see what you put people through
But how could you do this to me?
After all we're family
All that I want is your fucking money
Teeth bite you in the hand
Sharp mouth of a sixteen year old
But how was I supposed to know?
I only know what I was told
Now I know it takes two to tango
Mama, I don't know what to do
Mama, my dreams aren't coming true
And I don't (and I don't ) know if I can see this through
Why don't you just tell me, how I feel
Tell me - these things they push and peel
When you say this thing, when you do this thing
I think that it will help me heal
Mama, I don't know what to do
Why is my life so black and blue
And I don't (and I don't) think I can be put at ease
'Cause dreams aren't true

Hey there! How’s it going?
Mind if I sit here?
So you come here often?
Want a drink?
I’ll buy you a drink.
What you drinking?
Hey, baby
What’s wrong?
Why don’t you smile for me?
You’re beautiful when you smile for me.
What are you? A fucking dyke or something?
Where are you going?!
Don’t you walk away from me, you fucking bitch!
Fucking cunt!
Slut!

I was born on a pirate ship
I was born on a pirate ship
Wanna get back to it
Gotta get back to it
I was born on a pirate ship
I was born on a pirate ship
Wanna get back to it
Gotta get back to it
It turns on and I turn off
It turns on and I turn off
The hours pass the hours past
You close your eyes and you disappear
The hours pass the hours past
(Heave Ho)
I was born on a pirate ship
I was born on a pirate ship
Wanna get back to it (Heave)
Gotta get back to it (Ho)
I was born on a pirate ship
I was born on a pirate ship
Wanna get back to it (Heave)
Gotta get back to it (Ho)
What is wrong with getting away
The hours don’t last, the hours don’t last
You close your eyes and you disappear
What is wrong with getting away
Watch TV till my eyes bleed
The hours pass the hours past

Trembling

There is something you don’t know
I get scared and have to go home
Won’t get any sleep at night
This anxiety, it really bites
But it’s chasing me
I am half asleep
Gotta let it go
You don’t even know
The trembling, trembling, trembling
Wish I’d let it go,
Wish I’d let it go!
Let the demons grow!
Blood and skin and brain and bone.
All together, all alone
Darkness seeps in with the night
Pass the time ‘til morning sheds its light
But it’s chasing me
I am half asleep
Gotta let it go
You don’t even know
The trembling, trembling, trembling…..

Sometimes he just gotta say some
Sometimes he just gotta say something
You wanna talk about your day
But chances are he’ll never hear a single word you say
All the people lend your ear,
For his sole opinion
Interrupter, interrupter
Sometimes he just gotta say some
Interrupter head!
For a time this was alright
Now you will die
