Glassjaw

I draw them on reckless,
etched in,

scratched in like resurrection.

Your sins are killing you

and you can bet they'll get me too.

I've got to give some to get some.

Mining in the river

Standing in the rain.

Down on your knees

As you heave at the drain.

You can lead a whore to water

and bet she'll drink and follow orders.

And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"

"Is this what you needed?"

Give it some more time.

Tonight I'm going to a party,

but it's already started without me.

I aced philosophy

and mastered the art of spiritual phase.

I've got to give some to get some.

The disco ball spins away another year.

I wish you a broken heart and a happy new year.

Only three words come to mind.

That burning feeling.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
Under.

I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
and the shells they're kept in
all wasted away.

Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
and hed constructed us all in El Segundo,
as the shivering children pray.

Demons in
demons out.
Cry for dawn.
Gratis.
Bored.
I'm the matador of the children's ward.
Beggars wed choosers.
Red sheets.
Bed sheets.
Boozers.
I'm the head fan.
Blessed be my bed pan.

It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.

In the sun
I've got this for you
it's under my finger nails.
I brought this for you.
It's typically Sunday.

I'm digging a hole

I exude light and wash my hands of you
By larger beings devoured, leaving only me to improve
Weep
Don't fucking weep
Your weak eyes cry tears of the meek
Weep
Catch up with the sheep
It's a sacrilegious ceremony
New flavor of the week

Nothing's sacred in the faces of the soulless (that you're made into)
You're raptured by a guilty stifle down
"...And what I'll do is mess you up and lie to you"
Look at you, you know it's true
It's a field trip to Hollywood Babylon
But I'm not coming
No

Three times alone this week
I was suppose to be a rock star.

"I only beat you when I'm drunk,

You're only pretty when you're crying."

We are suppose to be the ones to set the air afire.

Three times alone this week

I was made into a liar.

Whether (or not) I found the gold

I never told.

Richer: I brilliant white.

I.

I wear shoes that move men from desert to riches.

Show me what you've got

and scratch it because it itches.

Call me Chameleon

and extingish my fire.

Three times alone this week

I was suppose to be a liar.

Maybe not.

Why the stare?

Would I lie about that which I am scared?

What did I say to you?

Step into

a pot of gold,

rejoice in fire

that which soon burns gold.

What did I say to you?

I can't deny

The throat, the love, sincerity,

I can't deny it

"I've got to keep my P.M.A."

She cured the plague of the holy child
And all the while I've been watching
And ""Boom!"" she said
In her room with her red fingernails
And a grip on the answers
When it's home and I'm broken, let's fix
When it's home and I'm swollen, let's kiss
When it's home and we'll walk, she'll lead
If she's waiting, we'll leave
I'm so gracious, I've got you here
If you touch it, it's cold
If you drop it, it breaks
If you hug it, it shivers
Hold it, it shakes
I'm ""Boom!"" she said
When it's home and I'm broken, let's fix
When it's home and I'm swollen, let's kiss
When it's home and we'll walk, she'll lead
If she's waiting, we'll leave
I'm so gracious, my name's ""I dare""
My name's ""I dare""
My name's ""I dare""
My name's ""I dare""
When it's home and I'm broken, let's fix
When it's home and I'm swollen, let's kiss
When it's home and we'll walk, she'll lead
If she's waiting, we'll leave
I'm so gracious...
No, I pray to God, it's over, you fuck
I swear, this feels sick
The child, you fucked it all the while
And you fucked it all the while
I swear to God that it's over
I've been fucked all the while
I pray to God that it's over
Just let me be alone
And all the while
Said ""All the while""
Said ""All the while""
Said ""All the while""
Said ""All the while""
And all the while
Said ""All the while""

You only get one taste
For this gift, we are graced
You only get one taste
And for this gift
For this gift
For this gift
Wait
Wait

Now let me go
So I can brag about this gift that he stole
For all my lonely nights
I will carry this girl with me where I go

Bad taste in my mouth
You would think I'm a whore
Bad taste in my mouth
You would think I'm...
You would think I'm...

You only get one taste
And for this gift, fuck, we are graced
(I said that) You only get one taste
I said and for this gift
And for this gift

She's likely to go
Or so she'll say
That we sleep as we do
To keep our nights days away

I said love
Or so she'll say
Immature love
You breed immature hate

So died the virgin
I have told you before

You're nothing special to him
And that's nothing new for
Nothing new for you
Nothing new for you

You'll be born
You before

Embody me with your body
I've never seen it
I have never
Embody me with your body
I've never seen it
I have never

Embody me with your body
I've never seen it
I have never
Embody me with your body
I've never seen it
I have never

Embody me with your body
I've never seen it
I have never
You embody me with your body
I've never seen it
Are you happy?

Pre-break of dawn

hear the ring it's me

live from a pay phone

talking in the rain.

Things pan out exactly as i say they will.

Will I be less happy

when I get back?

Two hand in one glove

as if we were poor.

The hard up make the soup from stones

like the poor before them did before.

You say the waiting could crush your heart.

But it's nothing new to me

have you crave me so desperately but I know

how when you need me you bleed for me,

though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new fans.

Always and forever

we are apart and may she see

she'd be free rejoicing in distance

if she only let me sleep.

"Will things make less happy when I get back?"

Absence makes the heart grow still.

Abuse the hunt; confuse the kill.

I know, I know.

Make the dead feel deader

deader.

Make the dead sleep nights with a razor

waiting.

Kill the prey.

I'll hold my child's head underwater.

If it's a boy, I was joking

if it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did

because I had to...

And if you find my kid later

tell her I laughed too.

We just might work out fine

because I love you enough

to let you give the pain that I want

...And when you do

I just might fuck you

enough to love you.

Once upon my night stand

lied letters piled in columns

postmarked Middle Island

out east in the country of Solemn.

"Who you fucking now?"
I use my slit wrist to sign my name with
And when you can't compete with the Joneses
Gun em' all down (even the father)

You filthy whore
Shut up and swallow my pride for me
Move closer or drive further
Suck on the end of this dick that cums lead
But first, I'm coming after you all

It's ladies night at the bar
But she smokes a man's cigar
I guess she's dying
Oh well
I don't give a fuck about your dignity
That's the bastard in me

I know a girl who sells herself around
And I'm sure one day, she'll sign autographs in your town
Looking back into my diary, what makes me say those things?
What causes my laughter at another's disaster?
It's the bastard in me

You live in shit and you will eat your own way out
I am too fly and shy
Like no other guy
Too fly and shy just for you
I'll mark you all

There's a woman sitting in a motel room counting minutes
And she's adding to her list of one-hour loves
She's tired and the new will do, she'll replace the body
His friends are good for bang-bang! An amiable hobby
She's got a secret
Just keep it and sleep with it
And he can't believe a thing you've said
"We're going nowhere" 'n' "fair is fair"
And he can't believe a damn thing you say
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair"

The way you play with lives is such a big disguise
We swear that we're not gonna take it
The way you play with lives is such a big disguise
We swear, we're not running naked

There's a man who's sitting in a motel
Waiting for a hooker that he never applied for
Is it even her?
And he can't believe a damn thing you say
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair"

The way you play with lives is such a big disguise
We swear that we're not gonna take it no more
The way you fucked his life is such a big disguise
We swear, we're not running naked

Just when it's perfect
It's finite, he calls it
She said, "It's over, it's over...so long"
Just when it's perfect
It's finite, he calls it
She said, "It's over, it's over...so long"

The way you play with lives is such a big disguise
We swear that it's over, it's over, it's over
The way you fucked his life is such a big disguise
We swear, we're not running naked

He would stay forever just to say he saw you leave
And maybe things wouldn't be this way
He would stay forever just to say he saw you on your knees

I burn the lamp when I burn
When I do, I do everything I do for you
But he hates you, hates you
And I guess it's nothing new for you

I'm glad when you're near
and I'm sad when you're here.
This is what it's like to be me.
I'm glad when you're here
and I'm sad when you're near.
This is what it's like to die alone.
This all hurts me so much
that i honestly believe
you're the one this is hard for.
I'm bartered tact for wit
and I've already made up
a billion stories about you.
Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up,
we're breaking up,
I guess we're breaking up.
You're not the other woman
you're just another (woman).
Another hobby for a guy like me.
I'm glad when you're here.
and I'm sad when you're near.
That is what it's like to be me.
You're given me a heart like a gun
and I'm so shocked that I've made it through these billion days.
i made it through these billion days!
I didn't think I could tough it out all those days a billion.
i didnt think i could tough it out a billion.
Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up,
we're breaking up,
I guess we're breaking up.
You're not the other woman
you're just another (woman).
Another hobby for a guy like me.
So we're growing,
I'm sure.
There's no other I can turn to,
there's no other i can turn to
if not you, then
who else should I believe?
Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up,
we're breaking up,
I guess we're breaking up.
You're not the other woman
you're just another (woman).
Another hobby for a guy like me.
I'm glad when you're near
but I'm sad that you're here.
That is what it's like to be me.
glad when you're near
but I'm sad that you're here.
That is what it's like to be me.
glad when you're near
and I'm sad that you're here.
This is what it's like to be me..
glad that you're near
sad that you're here..
I hope you enjoy dying alone.

Give me back
my pictures of me.

Me, you and him makes three.

It figures the wheezing will measure your rate

of depress

and i hope you know.

Like a bitch in heat,

I hope she know.

So put another penny in and turn the crank

until the frames cease to move

and the movie turns into a photo,

a photo the size of a kiss

I hope she knows.

Staring at a parisian sex flick

where the characters don't meet

the characters don't speak

and the characters are like mirrors facing mirrors:

Space always expanding.

So put another penny in and turn the crank

until the frames cease to move

and the movie turns into a photo,

a photo the size of my fist

I hope she knows.

A hiccup in paradise

I keep you jealously to myself,

in a photo the size of a kiss

a kiss in the shape of a bullet.

On phone lines and letterheads

I'm dying about.

I've watched you whore yourself out for one more thing.

There's always one more thing.

If I can't have you no one will.

Pushing a lover to love another.

Are you turned on?

I keep you jealously to myself.

Hit it one more, time for our men,
in uniform with a price upon their heads.
This is a war.
Sober up.
No matter what you call it color changes up in the sun.
Not throwing stones at you anymore.
Your name's in lights and I don't wonder, anymore.
Anymore.
All my exes live with hexes, this is why I hang
myself with jealousy upon a fencepost half mast.
Fashion: war between the guilty and the guilty and the guilty and the guilty and the teen.
Not throwing stones at you anymore.
Your name's in lights and I don't wonder, anymore.
Anymore.
Oh yeah I would like to, to die like mice do.
I'm crying in the beer of a drunk man.
I'm crying, crying, crying.
Not throwing stones at you anymore.
Your name's in lights and I don't wonder, anymore.
Anymore.
Yeah I would like to, yeah I'd like to die like fucking mice do.
I'm crying in the beer of a drunk man.
I'm crying in the beer of a drunk man.
Fashion.
Buy it.
Load it.
Shoot it.

Put the needle to the record
And hit me with your style.
Soon enough I'll
Learn to walk down that mile
Can you see its getting blacker
The vibe up in this place
When i displace what made me turn my face
I can't wait x2

I jumped ship into a burning cell
Atom bomb.

It was quiet until you happened
When the last thing I do has a swan sloon
Down martyr avenue.
And my driftwood armazana
I'm knee deep in disease
I'm a body
Laid out on my sleeve

I'm a bitch, girl
I'm a bitch.

I jumped ship into a burning cell
Atom bomb.

Denial is a river in Egypt
A vision is a reunion in itself.
Soon enough I.. will learn to..

Denial is a river in Egypt
Elusive as a commune in my mouth
Soon enough I.. will learn to..

Tell them it.
About the man who found love
It's so deep,
He lost sight of his word.

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
A round and about..
Down the line I'm heir
To throne nowhere.

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
A mountain of doubt down the line I'm heir
to throne nowhere.
I'm scared.

Cause,

Here's where the train ride ends.
Screaming, "is this your decision?"
We were the best of friends,
I'll go nowhere.

This isn't where,
This isn't where I found you

"Life is such a ball I run the world from city hall"
And I own you all.

In this,
In this Holiday Inn..

Well,
Welcome back race fans, it's Cavalcade sport time again.
Here at the jamboree,
Home of the hits.
How you doing Bob?
It's the last stretch
And my heart.. my heart stays in the lead
And we see first, second behind my heart is my mind
Third behind my mind is my body.
Fourth behind my body is my soul
And my heart stays in the lead.
Coming around the stretch..
That was a good one Bob.

No dutch.

"Home is where the heart it is..."
"on the bus!"

I'm not impressed,
I guess I'm not impressed.
With which dialect, which dialect marches best,
And who reaches heaven in what order
When our kids are baptized in mortar.

It's a shame that our messiahs move their pawns from different mountains
And we're left to dance these bodies 'round the fountain.
If a leader preaches worship to the sheep within the valley,
Who'll be riding in a tank that says "just married"?

I'm not impressed,
I guess I'm not impressed.
With which dialect, which dialect marches best,

We found that ultimately you
can make it snow in the summer.

It's a shame that our messiahs move their pawns from different mountains
And we're left to dance these bodies 'round the fountain.
If a leader preaches worship to the sheep within the valley,
Who'll be riding in a tank that says "just married"?
..

Contrary to what you believe
We oscillate and vary speed.
The food in jail is sulphury.
How do inuits spell relief?

Summer's trudging closer
and a flurry of white as well.
It's the heart of nuclear winter
and I'm scared as hell.

It's a shame that our messiahs move their pawns from different mountains
And we're left to dance these bodies 'round the fountain.
If a leader preaches worship to the sheep within the valley,
Who'll be riding in a tank that says "just married"?

It's a shame that our...

Lay down in this latrine in nailbomb,
In the city of Molotov,
In the province of gun,
In a whole off the highway
In the land of two suns.

Sometimes I get pissed
When
My blow goes like a quickie in the snow

But I'm sure I'll go down inside.
I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long
On the feet of a dragon.
Alone in the sun for sticking it in too long.
The seed of a bastard.

Some night's the wind pipe's covered in dope.
I pray it be covered in a rope.

Me, me, me.
Grief, grief, grief.
Beat the heat.

But I'm sure I'll go down inside.
I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long
On the feet of a bastard.
I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long
On the feet of a dragon.

Some night's the wind pipe's covered in dope....
I pray it be covered in a rope.

Lay down in this latrine in nailbomb,
In the city of Molotov,
In the province of gun,
In a whole off the highway
In the land of two suns.

Sometimes I get pissed
When ..

Grunt fuck.
Grin fuck.
Push her in the snow fuck.
The dope fiend splashes gash like a nailbomb.

If it makes you, it takes you I don't want to
If it makes you, scared in the bare anyway
If it makes you, I don't want to see your face when you feel not alive

You're lying in bed, with the pride of a lion
You are there, you are there?
You're shrewd enough to be underlined
You are there, you are there?

A world premiere.

If it makes you, it takes you I don't want to
If it makes you, stare in the bare anyway
If its the last thing you do...
If its the last thing you do...
If its the last thing you do,

Plagerize.

You're lying in bed, with the pride of a lion
You are there, you are there?
If your shrewd enough to be underlined
You are there, You are there?

A world premiere.

You're lying in bed, with the pride of lion
Are you there? are you there?
You're shrewd enough to be underlined
You are there, you are there?

Mother said to me, "Take my advice please".
And stand for one second up off your knees.
We are not the competition
But we strive, we strive, to be number one.

You walk a tear in my heart through the fake knife broken
Youre asking 'when do i stop?' when the murder's ended
Blacker than my father's soul..
Drunk enough to raise a storm

Pink roses.

Told me I'm turning black
Black black so black you can't even grasp the fact
Blacker than a begger's soul
Rich enough to raise us all

Maybe when you need that cadillac they'll sense.

Pink roses.

You're in the ground
>From kicking his ass
Swallow the leader and follow his ass
I wanna clench you
Stab you. (bam bam!)
Fucking waste you.

Pink roses.

And if it ain't sold
Platinum or gold
This'll be the biggest liar that had lived
