Can't make the pain stay forever
Days are gray and the sky is always within reach
Remember when the past was tomorrow?
Don't burn or bury me push me away, I'll fade
Can I have your nightmares?
Don't know why this moment hasn't passed
Hollow tipped words through quick shallow breaths
Remember the day she passed away?
Slip and fall, shatter like glass
This cruel existence misleads you everyday
There is no tomorrow, today wasn't supposed to be
Always looking to the past never saw the future coming
I'd rather burn in the night then feel the false comfort of masked sincerity
With broken promises and nightmares coming true
Signal the others let them come and see
- FUNERAL DINER/easy chair method
Awaken in time to a mechanism
Eyes flicker at the whisper of some distorted heaven
Soothed with electric fingers, the socket screams
A thing so intent on violence
An offering made by greedy hands
This is the making for a good excuse
A substitute
Point your finger at the scapegoat box
Ease the blame with self-fulfillment
A babysitter
These are the makings of a "how to"
Without the will of execution
Given birth by a subconscious friend
- FUNERAL DINER/torn safety net
This will be destroyed
Time has passed
The world is done
Three strikes of the pen
Open eyes, broken glass
Lead pours into the mold
Tools are being built
Exhume the foundation
Stare for hours at the flickering lights
Is this how you wanted it to be?
- FUNERAL DINER/anemic bulemic
- FUNERAL DINER/sleeping boy the paranoid
Spray painted the pot and kettle
Ground down sheet rock and metal
Rock slide, mud slide, land slide
It's all coming down and I'm waiting for it
Cast out the black
Built up the monolith
Cast out the red
I leave with apathy
Turn out
"Come here spineless boy," she said, "come here paranoid sleeping boy."
