little fingers protruding through the hole..
a man is held by fear as a little boy watches on from afar...
the man stares down at his life...
the fingers pull back...
Click.
(this is our truth)

the night will never come again,
the beauty is now gone and dead,
I had a chat with time you see,
says it's almost up.

rain your fears
deceive the truth
nothing left
nothing to do

nothings right
nothings wrong
decaying soldiers
losing time

nourish me in your divine breast,
hide me until everything's gone.
I stare into a shimmering vortex,
and i've seen what dreams are made of..

little girls buy into cellulite, shackled and repressed.
We'll be together in the dark, together forever,
together in the midst of the blight.

know for a fact, i saw him die..
god danced with the devil, went reeeeaaalll high.
he lived in a dying town, killed and torn..
met a man named Heroin Thorn..
(this is all the truth)

"Pleased to meet you oh precious human,
i'll give you a taste, just lend me your hand."
the pigs are dying
the pigs are dying
the pigs are dying
the pigs divine

love me won't you??..you filthy swine
I'd walk the plank to hear your wine
I've traveled through crannies in your mind
don't worry though, just pay me kind.

hanging around on ravaged lands,
they used to be the Utopian plains..
I've traveled on existence's back, i'm ready to go
just let me off at the next stop.
i wish i were just a kid.
It's nice to be blind again.
....i know the American dream was never to be,
it was just an American lie.


"'I am the the lizard king
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away
