Fingerprints

A spark of light at every turn
Your fingerprints spoke louder than words
Bathed in light, in a christ like repose
Like a cold day in spring, like a night on the sun
Stranger things have happened, stronger men have turned
This is a lesson that good men won't learn
So I put my baby in the dirt
Built a shrine and lit it up
Who'll keep it burning when i'm gone?
On a good day
She likes to think
She could use the company
They'll take your face but they can't take
Your fingerprints
I'll keep you cast in metal sheets
Your broken body and your baby teeth
Between the creases and the cracks
You look so young when you on your knees
Ready to beg and eager to please
The roots of my family tree
By now even the ghosts have begun to rust
Do their hearts pump blood or dust?
Please forgive if i give up
On a good day
She likes to think
She could use the company
They'll take your fith but they can't take
Your fingerprints
And we might never wake up
On a good day
She likes to think
She could use the company
They'll take your face but they can't take
Your fingerprints

Sanctuary

It's your accusations that pushed me away
A bitter reflection, a crack in the frame
A confident liar, a ghost in the crowd
Pushing through the static to feel my way out
I'd sell my soul to feel loved
To hear the aching song in your pulse
But you've always been half full
And I'm half empty half the time
Cry sanctuary
You think that I'm crazy, I know that I'm not
You teach me to kneel you become my god
I wanted to break out the bottom of the bottles heart
And cry sanctuary
A beautiful corpse with a clean bill of health
You never clean up after yourself
Knee deep in memories nobodies buys
Let loose the weights, lets chance the sky
And cry sanctuary

Depth Charge

Nothing turns you on
You tried it all
Sold your trophy wife
When the shine wore off
At least you've got your health
Your little paper cup
All the little friends
That'll keep you up
You walk out on your own to face the tide
Well it don't feel right
But it sure feels great
The way you crack the ice
And let the gas escape
If you deny the flesh
Then you deny us all
It's all that you've got left now
A reflection of a home
You'll be gone by the time the tide goes out
Pour me a depth charge
I wanna escape

Who's On First?

There's a song in your heart but it feels like an echo
Like something you knew from before you were born
Sewn to your skin as a stain or a birthmark
It's really subjective, depends who your friends are
You speak when your spoken to, dance like you mean it
Only drink to enjoy yourself not to forget yourself
Pick out a partner dear while we're still young
Well he makes you sick but he'll make you cum
Bend my bones together and walk away from here with a clean, clear mind
Send my soul to heaven and walk away from here with a clean clear mind
I wish you could see yourself dressed for the kill
With your eyes on the sky and your face in the dirt
They paid for your drinks and assigned you a number
Well why the hell not you won't even remember
You only see stars when you look in the mirror
They don't know your name they don't care that you're thinner
Than everyone else here, you know when to run
But you might as well stick around, we're all gonna die young
Bend my bones together and walk away from here with a clean, clear mind
Send my soul to heaven and walk away from here with a clean clear mind
I carried the weight like a thorn in my side
So lighten my load
And send my soul to heaven
Cause iv'e never been before, and it's about time
Close your eyes, hold out your tongue
Who's on first?

Make God

There are places that we'll never see through these eyes
Things that you wouldn't believe
Pull back the veil, let the jury decide
And tell you what you're gonna be
The wider they pull open your little eyes
The less you'll be be able to see
They tear out the stitches and expect you to heal
It's about time they learned how to breathe
Well i can't make you out from a black chalk outline
And I can't see the sky for the stars
i'll trade reason for wonder
My logic for pride
And forget everything i was taught
Cause hell is just heaven in transit
And the devils just god when he's high
It's not if you're violent or humble
And it's not how you live it's how well you lie
(YOU'RE SO FAR GONE) waiting for something to happen
(YOU'RE SO FAR GONE) i waited and waited and waited like everyone else
The future pulls in one direction
Drawn by the buzz of the light
A model of pure imperfection
Unhealthy, unloved and unkind
So take one with water and hope for the best
By morning your fear will be gone
Cause if you can't feel it, it doesn't exist
It's just static, a lie we believed when we were young
