for the pins in your spine searching to find semisweet relief
for the township, held hostage, accosted by new fangled beliefs
for the coast line intertwined with caustic oceans spiking amateur tides
for the men on the warships, check, fold, or raising til it's time to strike
hearts for handouts, creep around the back
a century of peace as told by amnesiacs
no rhyme or reason, last year's wardrobe for next year's season
o' fortuna scratch it off and lose it all
instill the daze

pass flasks, hijacking the past, cut it down in half, then assemble it back
stare off, hair up in a twist, dream of little red ribbons and a bandaged up wrist
autophobia, nice knowin' ya
take a good look at what you've done
sweet dreams, methamphetamines, cut brake lines and everything in between
harlots gawking while priests are talking
and i'm starting to wonder if anyone's listening at all
pulpits filled with lost souls, and secrets filled with plot holes
keep salvation locked in the trunk
and let sin take the wheel
repent til every dime is spent
pass flasks, hijacking the past, cut it down in half, then assemble it back
stare off, hair up in a twist, dream of little red ribbons and a bandaged up wrist
sweet dreams, methamphetamines
Tie the Bible belt around your neck

i slip outside, terrified, bum a smoke, bum a light
setting sun dripping in formaldehyde
a masquerade overplayed, overstated escapade mummified
i pass the time, cast aside, huffing hope, ostricized
setting sun dripping in formaldehyde
the world's a stage and i set it ablaze
but i say my lines anyway
present, future, distant past
never ends and never lasts
music, colors, photos, rain
silence, laughter, passenger trains
always something to bring back the pain
if all the pawns take kings, it seems, eventually, sequentially
then knights and queens and royal things regress to being obsolete
when fantasies are guaranteed, the kids forefeit reality
c'est la vie, c'est la vie
but it doesn't have to be

it's a mass exodus of dollar signs and hotlines
comatosed storylines shoved into headlines
sucking down whiskey with a stranger on valentine's
romance flatlines, get new pick up lines
hold fast or break up
you've been typecast as the scapegoat
and i'm clinging to the pipes of this sinking ship
i'm clinging to the pipes of this sinking ship
come on, spit it out, incognito
swan dive, stake it out, from the steeple
the hive's been smashed now we're burning the colony

narrow spaces, distorted faces, the marketplace is hustling bustling
checked suitcases to exotic places, the aeroplane is tumbling, tumbling down
arent you proud?
say your vows
lift the veil and dissolve the gown
bouquet of grenades to the hungry crowd
A kodak moment with a handsome mushroom cloud
this ain't a revolution, baby
this is your wake up call
this ain't a nervous breakdown, honey
'cause we ain't shaking at all
