I can think of a million things along the way
That misdirected me
Now it's abundantly clear that if I could go back
I'd do them differently
I beat my fists on the system and complained
About a world that's not designed for me
But a quarter century brings with it
A new kind of clarity
Can't look away
Got some things to say
Spilt milk has now gone sour
Can't look away
Got demons to slay
In retribution for the hours they devoured
Hey
This is the price I pay
Hey
This is the price I pay
And now I spit on the voices of the vacant ones
The sons of vanity
Who peddle venom as advice just lies
Designed to undermine me
I tried to fit in their philosophy
Until that little box got too tight for me
'Cos what the fuck do they know about
Blazing trails of non-conformity?
Can't look away
Got some things to say
About regret in the twilight of Humanity
Can't look away
So get out my way
If nothing matters sing the anthem of futility
Hey
This is the price I pay
Hey
This is the price I pay
Hey
Ten thousand wasted days
Hey
This is the price I pay
And to the past me:
Rest in peace
Those who afflicted me:
Feel disease
(You know who you are)
(You know who you are)
To those who nourished me
Saw what was underneath:
It was your faith in me
That set me free
(You know who you are)
You know
You know who you are
Hey
This is the price I pay
Hey
This is the price I pay
Hey
Ten thousand wasted days
Hey
This is the price I pay

Beyond The Wall

It starts when you fall apart
When the fabric of sanity starts to unravel
And the stone that once was your heart
Breaks down into parts, becoming the gravel
Of the path that leads you astray
You stand in one place and in this way you travel
You cease to exist, despite what they say
No longer defined by the voice of the rabble
Now you are destroyed, a speck in the void
No longer a toy of the tide and the weather
Now the collar that made you obey
Has started to fray, your leash has been severed
You're a vessel filled with potential
That stretches from here to the shores of forever
You are a puzzle
You pick up the pieces
And you fit them together
Answers lie behind closed eyes
What's left to do
But dance?
What's left to say
But nothing at all?
What's left to fear
But fear itself?
Your kingdom of silence
Beyond the wall
A moment of peace, serenity reigns
You are the immaculate, fortunate one
Until there appears a sinister shade
That towers above you and blacks out the sun
Something about it feels so familiar
Like you know that you've seen it before
When you extend your hand in a truce
You get a fist, the language of war
Wearing your skin, smiling with your grin
It is the parts of you that you abhor
Eating your dreams, this thing is you
Come to settle the score
Answers hide inside old lies
What's left to do
But dance?
What's left to say
But nothing at all?
What's left to fear
But fear itself?
Your kingdom of silence
Beyond the wall
Answers lie behind closed eyes
Answers hide inside old lies
Emancipate from the bonds of superiority
You are an offering to the gods of asymmetry
Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall
What's left to do
But dance?
(The walls come down)
What's left to say
But nothing at all?
(The walls come down)
What's left to fear
But fear itself?
(The walls come down)
Beautiful nihilist
Internal violence
No longer defines us
Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall

Storm's coming
So it seems
Another summer on my knees
Currents dragging me
From the shore and out to sea
Indoors
Trapped again
Monsoon rages through the window pane
Eye of the hurricane
Sees the folly of my games
It's not a crime to resign
If you wisely choose how you spend your time
The sunshine won't last forever
Relinquish control of the weather
Sunburn
Withering
Sacred ritual of shedding skin
Mother administers the medicine
While my father whispers through the wind
It's not a crime to resign
If you wisely choose how you spend your time
The sunshine won't last forever
Relinquish control of the weather
'Neath the screams from winds on dark horizons
Come the answers you long thought were forgotten
Thunder drowns out the sound of your blind reason
What remains withstands the changing seasons now
And when I walk through fields serene
And when the stores they have been plundered
All the abundance in between
Give me pain and famine and hunger
I will not ask you what it means
All the intentions torn asunder
Give me rain and give me thunder
Give me rain and give me thunder
Give me rain and give me thunder
Give me rain and give me thunder
(It's not a crime)
(It's not a crime)
(It's not a crime)
It's not a crime to resign
If you wisely choose how you spend your time
The sunshine won't last forever
Relinquish
Relinquish
Control
Control of the weather

It's Over, Jehovah
04:44

I found God
He was out in the back
Getting high on the thoughts and prayers
I found God
He said, “Hey, long time
Could you score me a little more fear?”
I said, “Hey
Where the fuck have you been?
Been ghostin' me all these years”
I found God
He said, “Hold up son
Got me mixed up with someone who cares”
(Glory to God)
Droppin' our calls
Throwin' up walls
Grabbin' your share
(Hallelujah)
But Heaven knows when there's real work to be done
You're never there
(He is deliverance)
Sayin' we're sick
Sayin' we're tired
I'm sayin' we're through
(Amen)
But heaven knows how many bodies
We would crawl over to get to you
I found God
All spun out on mercy
Drawing an imaginary line
I found God
Dividing the pure and obedient ones
From the swine
He looked mad
He pointed and said
“See those ones I ain't got to yet?
Well I don't trust them
They're up to something
They look too peaceful
They must be a threat
I'm the enabler
Of his behaviour
Even though I know it's wrong
But it just feels so damn good
To belong
(Glory to God)
Droppin' our calls
Throwin' up walls
Grabbin' your share
(Hallelujah)
But Heaven knows when there's real work to be done
You're never there
(He is deliverance)
Sayin' we're sick
Sayin' we're tired
I'm sayin' we're through
(Amen)
But heaven knows how many bodies
We would crawl over to get to you
I found God
He was charging a stack
For admission to VIP
I said, “What?
I should be on that list
Could you make an exception for me?”
He said, “Brother
You're welcome to enter
So long as you're free from sin
But if you're a faggot
A tranny
A harlot
A skeptic
An addict
An infant
A woman
A native
The Media
A person of science
Or if you're just different
You're not allowed in
I found God
OD'd on hubris
Choked to death on his own tongue
Sad way to go
But I reckon a few thousand years
Is a pretty good run
We did all we could
It's time to move on
And remember the last thing he said
I found God
The last thing he said was

Pandemonium
04:56
|

Smiles are designed
To imply that everything's fine
The truth is misaligned
And everything is in decline
Long gone are the days
When I could think in a straight line
So take my life's design
And stick it where the sun don't shine
Sort pleasure from pain
As if the choice belonged to me
Not like it matters
By the time this day's complete
No save point, no rewind
Just space and time
I can ride the razor out of danger
If I'm so inclined
Nod my head and pretend like I can comprehend
Go with it now, just play along
My jaw falls open and despite what I intend
It all just comes out wrong
Dreams die
Between the hours of nine and five
The more I run
(Change lanes)
The more my world becomes undone
(Life drained)
Begin with much and end with none
(Nothing gained)
My efforts are a zero sum
(Chaos reigns)
It's pandemonium
Folks round here keep talkin'
'Bout the voices in their head
But I can't hear mine over the buzz
'Cos it sounds like a hundred thousand promises made
By some person that I was
Congrats
You've made it to the end
Now start that shit show all over again
The more I run
(Change lanes)
The more my world becomes undone
(Life drained)
Begin with much and end with none
(Nothing gained)
My efforts are a zero sum
(Chaos reigns)
It's pandemonium
Goddammit
The more I run
(Change lanes)
The more my world becomes undone
(Life drained)
Begin with much and end with none
(Insane)
Screw this noise, I'm fucking done
(Chaos reigns)
It's pandemonium
Had me a notion
And I set that thing in motion
But my precious thoughts got lost
Inside all the commotion
And my unfinished symphonies
Sink into the abyss
I still have no idea
Where the fuck I was going with this

The Surface
05:49

I barely escaped with my life
From the shadows that swim underneath
And the surface is calm
After the storm
But I've forgotten how to breathe
Too many days adrift
Corroded away from the salt and the sun
And as the horizon shifts
I'm held in place by the fear
That I might be the only one
Cold black clouds converge above the surface
Turbulence and doubt above the surface
The ghosts visit me in my dreams
And they tell me there's not far to go
And the surface is calm
After the storm
But there's a storm brewing down below
Below
Cold black clouds converge above the surface
Turbulence and doubt above the surface
Cold black clouds converge above the surface
Turbulence and doubt above the surface
People calling, hear them in the distance
Forgotten how to breathe as I sink
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down
Cold black clouds converge above the surface
Turbulence and doubt above the surface
People calling, hear them in the distance
Forgotten how to breathe as I sink
Down, down, down
Sinking down, down, down
Sinking down, down, down, down
Down
