Put him back together
From his eggshell fate
Studebaker smile, death row face
Brim tilted lower than the fire beneath
Shoe rubber sticking to the gravel in the street Arclight worship immaculate grasp, takes your hand now you’re never coming back
Older than you noticed
With eyes like that
Black market ink dripped straightly down her back White skin china, that polished veneer
Circumstances say that reflection, it’s getting clearer Arclight worship immaculate grasp, takes your hand now you’re never coming back
Automated passion
Vestigial contact
Masochistic dreams they lead you straight to the abstract Stripped legs loosely, Crossed there to greet
Send you towards these scheming beliefs of
Arclight worship immaculate grasp, takes your hand now you’re never coming back

Blood Boil Slow

Let Your Blood Boil Slow
Let your tear drops rest
In the deathbed wait
Feel that beat out of your chest Wipe the shame from your face
From the depths, scream the name
Of those who cursed you to erase Close your eyes leave this place
Let your blood boil Slow
Now you don’t wanna wait to die
And then it’s straight down to flame eternal The lake where tired men do lie
Could you ever regret
These decisions you have made For its regret that brings no assurance
When you who made your fate
Let your blood boil Slow
For your flesh could not relate
To the rush of heats creation
In your body grows such hate
It’s this teeming discontent
Leaving scars that we've all seen
Those lines unforgiven
Writ on your face, wrinkled seam

Got a thousand virtues
If you want id sell them to you
Got a thousand virtues
To this day not one’s shone through
Been sleeping in Nevada weather
Drink'in in California too
Nothing in this southwest land
Says I’m comin home to you
I've been wearing masks of sorts
Been breathing smokey air too
Toss the face I can’t trick you with
That second skins been gettin me the night through
I lost my heart in Santa Fe
The Midwest got the best of me
They got my soul in some East coast bay
Pack my home be on my way
Crushed velvet and room to roam
They keep the best company
When I wrote my name on that mirror wall
Left to claim my solitary
No, God damn never looking back
Walk inside these snakeskin blues
Making tracks in the sand there forever
Until the wind blows through
I've got those snakeskin blues

Silver Dagger

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She sleeps right by my side
In her right hand, a silver dagger
Says I can't be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They'll tell you wicked lies The next evening, they'll court another
Leave you to pine and sigh
My daddy is a handsome devil,
On a chain five miles long,
on every link a heart does dangle, of one he's loved and wronged
Go court another tender maiden, and hope shell be your bride
For I've been warned and I've decided
to sleep alone all of my life

Pay what you owe, reap what you sow
When its business it’s not personal, you've got American times
Now you know just what you did
She was just a kid
Now you’re not quite innocent
You’re out on your own
Know just what you’re worth
Well its wall street or the dirt
You’re pressed suit tie and shirt
Still out on your own
When it’s industrial
They say its amoral
Kind of makes you feel a little bit
Suicidal
Its kill or be killed
It’s an eye for an eye
In this dog eat dog world
You’re still out on your own
Pay what you owe, reap what you sow
When its business it’s not personal, you've got American times
