It sets itself up The heart set it It sets itself up The heart set it It sets itself up The heart sets itself up I'm asking Why do I Act this way Where's the question I cannot react to Where's the question I can't misreact Where's the question Where's the question Where's the question Where's the question All the mystery is taken as fact All the mystery is taken as fact All the mystery is taken as fact Now I live inside the circle Now I live inside the circle Now I live inside the circle Now I live inside the circle The heart set it It sets itself up The heart set it It sets itself up The heart set it It sets itself up The heart sets itself up I'm asking Why do I Act this way Oh Where's the question I cannot react to Where's the question I can't misreact Where's the question Where's the question Where's the question Where's the question All the mystery is taken as fact All the mystery is taken as fact All the mystery is taken as fact Now I live inside the circle Now I live inside the circle Now I live inside the circle Now I live inside the circle |

I've swallowed my quarry
And now lie paralyzed With assimilation's pain And indulgence's misshapen form I am a snake And I will resume My contours Then I'll hunt again There really is no choice How do we survive I like to think I surprise myself But that's a tired joke I watch myself as I do my best No drama anymore When reason turns to riot gear There's no control, I lose myself again These maniacal rituals that got me going, but just How do you survive So sudden are my movements Not a drop of blood is spilled I'm quiet beneath the roaring sun I leave my signature scrawled softly in the sand The only trace of a dead obsession 'Cuz I'm a snake And I will resume My contours Then I'll hunt again |

I was falling
Through the air From the tallest building Away OK away And I felt the air rush Flowing over me And I could hear you calling From far away away I could see the future Rushing up to meet me Between the seconds Split into smaller parts I could feel the even Every stream of air I could feel the Rockies stay For me OK OK To me OK OK Show me the way the way the way Show me the way the way the way Show me the way the way the way Show me the way the way the way Increasing focus Telescoping lines and forms The tiny details Come home come home come home I was falling Through the air From the tallest building Away OK away I could see the future Rushing up to meet me Between the seconds Split into smaller parts I could feel the even Every stream of air I could hear your words fall By me OK OK By me OK OK |

It seems years and years ago that
People saw the sun We would sleep on beaches ... Now must I go sleep alone Between clean whole sheets But when I was with you we slept wrapped up ... Of course you must know that it did all end How then to recall what we really were Of course you must know that it did all end Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts For long That haunting song you sang about Picking roses and dropping them in the beloveds lap as she dreamed The translation clumsy Maybe it was that other song you sang about the beautiful dress that gets torn <Backmasked:Saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...now must I go sleep alone between clean whole sheets, but when I was with you we slept wrapped up, it seems years and years ago that people saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...> Of course you must know that it did all end How then to recall what we really were Of course you must know that it did all end Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts For long |

Hands on the surface
That is (real ok?) Sun locating black, silver, and grey Bringing those things to light Streetlamps to light This collapse, this expansion Falling, vertigo Off the brink, things can thing can Now they spin alive Touching becomes a new seeing (?) so sweet Calls to me And I obey When (?) Eyes undisguised The tactile stimulae Sun over the black waterfall Silvery and salty And battered rock This collapse, this expansion Falling, vertigo Off the brink, things can thing can Now they spin alive Touching becomes a new seeing |

A real keen eye
Sense of smell Still hard to tell Your ID Is a full IV It's the essence of things It's too warm to touch A simulated rush I'm overthrown Overthrown Baby keep me warm All the weaponry You seem to need Just let it bleed It's too warm to touch A simulated rush You convinced me When the capsule broke It the artificial light A red so true You'd never doubt It gushes out It's too warm to touch A simulated rush, but How can you tell When it's fake blood Oh how can you tell When it's fake blood Oh how can you tell When it's fake blood Tell Oh how can you tell When it's fake blood Oh how can you tell When it's fake blood Yeah how can you tell When it's fake blood Stab me! Oh how can you tell When it's fake blood Yeah how can you tell When it's fake blood Oh how can you tell When it's fake blood |

It hardly even matters
What I used to think I've lost that sense of balance The thoughts keep opening up To how I used to see you Before I proved a fool I can still feel your hand in mine I prepared my heart for you I prepared my heart for you It's not your imagination The hidden melody Beneath the pretty surface All bruised and injury Encoded for protection From polite society Have you never let yourself fall apart I prepared my heart for you I prepared my heart for you I prepared my heart for you Ending here so soft and cruel Worthless love Worthless love |

I'm a puppet, you're a puppet too
A dancing fool, jiggle me at my joints Once you were on my side But I will make you wish that I had died I had died Wounded Thanks for all of your help and perfection, oh yeah The machines we have built for the end Another year, another friend or foe Burn their cities, scorch the earth below The times have changed and so too have our needs This time it's you on which the fire feeds Fire feeds Wounded If you laugh at my jokes you will pay for it, oh yeah When your friends are enemies, you'll be sold Thanks for all of your help and perfection, oh yeah The machines we have built for the end Wounded World Wounded |

Yeah it's true
But only in part Actions best forgotten of a desperate heart And it hurts This salt in the wound But what compels them to spend their time bothering you Don't let them touch you baby Don't let them make you cry Don't you waste your time Trying to find the reason why They will do what they must do Yeah it's strange That vicarious choir Ever searching for a stage where they might sing higher And they share The generous souls But nothing gets in the way of a story untold It's not fair The only intention's to hurt Always there The strategy's rumors and dirt Don't let them touch you baby Don't let them make you cry Don't you waste your time Trying to find the reason why They will do what they must do ... ... ... Hey hey ... half day to meddle with our lives With private tears meant only for our eyes Reactions haunt, be worthy of legend Security maybe ... charms It's not fair The only intention's to hurt Always there The strategy's rumors and dirt It's not fair The only intention's to hurt Always there The strategy's rumors and dirt It's not fair Dirt Always there Dirt |

Someone gathers the best ideas
And burns them Something's broken Someone's spoken Of no return Burn all the rabid ideas Out in the hallway Something comes in a great procession Calling my name And I don't know why I do what I do I can break that window I can hurl myself into that fire Into that fire burns Burns Now the cycle's spinning down But no one No one at all Comes out of the forest with a magic wand to spell me Electric burns in its camoflauge Won't clear the air Something comes in a great procession Calling my name And I don't know why I do what I do I can smash that doorway I can hurl myself into that fire Is that free Calling me To that fire Here I go Burning slow In that fire Into that fire Baby burn baby burn baby burn Burn |

Am I cold? When did this fever take a hold? I know yours, you know mine Knock me off the wall well I feel fine You and I return to the scene of the crime Let's go out and wash our sins away Everyone's an actor in this play Trading lines with roving phantoms Sentimental Visigoth, crazy as a loon Thirteen months might be too much for me Sentimental Visigoth, crazy as a loon Thirteen months might be too much for me Am I hot?

Hit the perfect level in the blood
Sweet black syrup go-go jet stream Hardline the blood brain barrier Gotta get the head up in the red Work it down to the sweetest inch Quality payload special delivery Going to the dance like the doctor said Vertical expression, horizontal desire Gonna take a chance, take your pick of meds Falling off of this world together I can smell their footprints in the woods Hear their fires, feel their laughing Late into the night well who's the worse? Evidence mounting by the hour Keeping book as we build our case on Old Bedford Rd. you better take care Going to the dance like the doctor said Vertical expression, horizontal desire Gonna take a chance, pick a peck of meds Falling off of this world together We've got the power of the nicotine bomb Everything's connected to connections tangled up Chorus chords pretenders to some distant memories well that's alright Holly catch a yardbird ten car pile up on the bar Over under stop stop Chrissie ring the bell 'cause the gang's all here yeah Going to the dance like the doctor said Vertical expression, horizontal desire All this sonic mess crowded in my head Falling off of this world together We've got the power of the nicotine bomb |

This is where I live
In the blank spots of a wall Where the window shade is ripped But I still wanna go They tell me I will never find my place in Playland They tell me that the toys will always break in Playland They tell me I will never find my way to Playland It's your Playland In my Playland It's my Playland In your play I can't stop thinking what it does I can't stop feeling how it feels I can't stop obeying it's commands When it comes from you They tell me I will never find my place in Playland They tell me that the toys will always break in Playland They tell me I will never find my way to Playland Find my way to Playland |

This alert is the color of a shirt that you cannot use
When you're wrapped uptight in your own little world Could you move your cocoon Zombies lost in a dungeon fog stagger through the street Trying in vain to sharpen the attack To get the juice from concentrate The bubble broke, thoughts ran out, now they all run free I guess I let it wander too far Please let me know if you see my absent mind, my absent mind I'm a stick figure, I'm a blank slate filled and erased Overload the fuses, senses stand still, stare into space And let the lights dim When a title wave of information rolls over you It can make you lose your place Where was I.....oh yeah..... Would you be aware if there was something in the air The bubble broke, thoughts ran out, now they all run free I guess I let it wander too far Please let me know if you see my absent mind, my absent mind |
