I want to become what I must So I can tunnel through the ocean waves to you I'm on my way now to you I'm on my way now The same thought enters my mind As I'm engulfed in steam How happy she will be to see Her monster become human And I'm on my way now No matter the things I say I've cared for you all my life Where am I? Why am I sure to have never existed Destroying the homes of creatures trying to hide below I will bash the rocks 'till my hands shatter Making a straight path to you I'm on my way now No matter the things I say I've cared for you all my life No matter the things I say I've cared for you all my life Where am I? Why am I sure to have never existed You must remember that I Always swept the pieces I left behind You must remember that I Always swept the pieces I left behind I've cared for you all my life No matter the things I say

I have a big secret out of a shroud prison This big horrible mess I'm covered in mud and bile Inching towards the ground Arms outstretched Releasing my confession: I am a snake I let my children Let my children go To fend for themselves I am a snake I let my children Let my children go To fend for themselves De-scale me Leave me naked on the cutting board floor I have a big secret out of a shroud prison This big horrible mess Hung to dry in motherland sun tinted humidity Releasing my confession: I am a snake I let my children Let my children go I am a snake I let my children Let my children go (We are the swamps) Our lives are swamps We are the swamp Can you take it? Can you take it? Can't you just get rid of it all? Our lives are swamps We are the swamp Can you take it? Can you take it? Can't you just get rid of it all? Our lives are swamps We are the swamp Can you take it? Can you take it? Can't you just get rid of it all? I am a snake I let my children Let them go I am a snake I let my children Let them go

So tell me again how it feels To give yourself to the scum In the beautiful machine where we made love Green and brown influence had a hold of you Was there pleasure in your mind? Was there pleasure in your mind? Excitement of this getting out makes you scream Why couldn't that be the day you choked on it? No one around to save you No one to crush your stomach from behind Was it everything? Do you regret your night? I recall you saying you don't regret a thing Well go on your way thinking of no one else but yourself Maybe one of these nights A confession-semi will smash your tires from behind Just don't ask questions Just fly around with your head cut off Never regretting a.. No one around (to save you) No one to crush your stomach from behind No one around No one to crush your stomach from behind

What if the best position to be in Was shoved in the smallest crack in a wall Where claustrophobia kicks in? You would no longer breathe I can hear oxygen sing You would no longer breathe I can hear oxygen sing Is it wrong to use despair for our own, own personal gain To fuel the fires in the guts? (To fuel the fires in the To fuel the fires in the guts) So happiness wasn't for you It didn't come with the blood Didn't come with the blood Keep the slavery of despair Get where you need to go What if the best position to be in Was shoved in the smallest crack in a wall Where claustrophobia kicks in? Use them to get where you need to go Where you need to go Heard you say if there's a flame you'll burn every tree You'll burn every tree that you see Even the one you carved the lame and the females name into The name into Keep the slavery of despair Get where you need to go Frown all you give You give them the best Crooked smile is all you give You give them the best You give them the best You give them the best

There are bodies strewn all over my bedroom floor I don't know how they got there But I'm sure it's the fuckers in their ships Taunting everyone who walks by As they sail through my front lawn Through my bedroom window Not a window at all But a hole that peasant left With his cannonball fun They look so pretty Pretty weak to have let it go on this long There are still bodies thrown on my bedroom floor I don't know how they got there But I have a plan now So they say we aren't really here So don't just try to punish us You are the one who has lost his mind We didn't bring the bodies We didn't throw them on your floor We didn't bring the bodies We didn't throw them on your floor You are the one who has lost his mind They look so pretty Pretty weak to have let it go on this long So they say we aren't really here So don't just try to punish us You are the one who has lost his mind We didn't bring the bodies, we didn't throw them on your floor You are the one who has lost his mind They look so pretty Pretty weak to have let it go on this long

I'm not just your friend I'm your skin and bones I think that I can tell when you're acting Like nails on the edge of a cliff Your tongue wraps around your life I will tell you how I will tell you how How it makes me feel I was the Queen of the Grand Old Opry Now I'm going down in a wad of flame I'm not just your friend I'm your skin and bones I think that I can tell when you're acting It's not good enough It's not good enough I just want to see where you'll fall Like nails on the edge of a cliff Your tongue wraps around your life I will tell you how Tell you now How it makes me feel Why argue? Without blood Without help You'll be like us all Used to think there was no future left to talk about Open up and let the King of flailing tongues in I'm not just your friend I'm your skin and bones I think that I can tell when you're acting It's not good enough It's not good enough I just want to see where you'll..

With your hand in mine The others tell me they need you To keep the rest at bay Yelling sadness disagreement Pulling you into me Into body The others will think you're afraid You are sustenance But my companion So I walk alone Complaining doesn't make good conversation Giving you up I drown in eye water As you are taken away Hiding the fact that I'm breaking apart inside You are sustenance But my companion So I walk alone Complaining doesn't make good conversation Sitting at the social event I devour more of you Because I know thats what you want Your head on a plate, eyes cold in sleep Your head on a plate, eyes cold in sleep Eyes cold in sleep You taste like dreams You are sustenance But my companion So I walk alone Complaining doesn't make good conversation

Please everyone get on the ground now I know you're scared but I, I always have been I need this to get away To finally be free To finally be free Horns on your heads I'm not of this world But I'm trying to make the best of it So you, so you won't stare that way again Even if it means Blow you all away Even if it means Put it in the bag Or you will all just walk Right out of here looking just like me Impassable as normal in your streets I'll wear your horns as trophies So you, so you won't stare that way again So I So fucking I So I won't have to feel that way again Again Even if it means Blow you all away Even if it means I want it, I want it now Like a child who can't get what it wants I want it, I want it now

Trading back and forth our voice Is something disputed here? Focusing behind me you look white Are you looking at something through the other side? Nowadays you get more Difficult to understand Incoherently speaking of your last days How you'll spend them Finding the blades of grass you'll lay in Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Do you hear Slowly your hands fade to your skull Constantly complaining Of your discomfort You don't look well anymore Nowadays you get more Difficult to understand Incoherently speaking of your last days How you'll spend them Finding the blades of grass you'll lay in Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Do you hear Feel them crawling Feel them penetrate One day I'll get your sight back to you I thought we were supposed To bury our dead

Roaming through shambles Hand in hand Our fingernails Roaming through shambles Hand in hand Our fingernails digging into palm To indicate, to indicate our first reaction Soaked my shoulder with your eyes I run through my head Without caution to find the words To get you to stop To get you to stop To get you to Sobbing I utter the phrases Of what we will build back up Won't make the same mistakes again We will talk Won't pull away when one Wants to show affection Soaked your shoulder with my eyes Overwhelmed by emotion Overwhelmed with the feeling That everything will be ok Will be ok Overwhelmed everyone will be Take these new songs of youth Because you are aware Write new songs for youth Because they rot inside They rot inside It just showed up Bags in hand, bags in hand It gives me chills How easy I thought it would be So I let it in Bags in hand, bags in hand

You're going too fast In the wrong direction Laughing with eyes ablaze you say aren't we... But I think I'm gonna die, though I think we are going to die You don't know what you're talking about my friend Life ain't that hard At some point these days I have lost my way (Can't find the way back, I've lost my...) You're going too fast and in the wrong direction Laughing with eyes ablaze you say aren't we... Now I'm in this hole Now I'm in this hole But I'm sure I'm gonna die, though You don't know what you're talking about my friend Life ain't that hard At some point these days I have lost my way (I can't find the way back) I've lost my way again You say...........................yourself Anymore, anymore That we become the ones we hate Not anymore At some point these days I have lost my way (I can't find the way back) I've lost my way Not anymore, anymore
