The Stomach for It

The sky fell to earth I watched it, silently The sky fell to earth I watched it, silently I bridged my teeth with the lack of excitement It was the start of something Anything And I knew it was over In that moment my life became irrelevant I quenched my fists I bit the bullet I swallowed my pride I breathed in, then released Animalistic, Oh Indifference! It's coming to an end Congregation, gather here It's what I'm waiting for, open doors, baby Congregation, shed a tear Is it the thought that counts and nothing else?! Congregation, won't you bare with me? I've lost myself on rusted shelves Congregation, have no fear Here's what I'm losing when there's nothing left to give

My God, what am I doing here!? What the hell am I thinking!? Well, It's not so clear…it's not so clear You lay next to me and you look in my eyes Well, I'll try to forgive…It just depends on the night I can't provide what was never out there We sleep restlessly through the middle of our lives And we count all the stars like we're ever gunna' fly I can't rely on your sweet ambition We teach kids not to play with fire And we teach them how to pray on their knees We teach sons how to marry our daughters And we teach sons how to spread their seed Oh Lord, this is absolutely revolting And at the same time I find it….. Hilarious God, please pluck her teeth out I know it's sick to say, I know I've gone a stray God, please pluck her teeth out Cause this will never end nor ever go away She'll never see unless you sway... I believe that I've gotten this all wrong… And I can not pretend, I'd never hear the end of it...

Well, all these words have come to nothing Like all my thoughts that fade away And every night I pray for something Then every day I throw it all away All birds sing something Their songs define our means, their songs define our lives Praying for something, as I release my arrow and it pierces their eyes I will be alone Tie me down with nothing but a string And preach your faith in nothing... I'll mourn for you with passing of our time When will we see our shadows without light? The time will come when all that's left is all our demons here to fight We'll all be swallowed, live and whole Blisters from digging our own holes We'll be too deep to see the light We'll be too lost to set things right Nice to meet you, Mr. Maker Nice to meet you, see you later! Who never knew who?

You can't stay close enough to every boy you meet Drugs don't taste good enough... since then you've been clean With every little taste your nails broke more beneath the surface Of my unsteady, undying trust for your smile of decay Beneath the unending, undying light of such little surprise… I could swear I never saw it coming And with a moments pause he slipped right in.. When I was never there to begin with God, please take me home Here's a pretty lie Here's a big surprise Here's a nasty taste Here's a dying faith I can't breath and I swear I'll never make this bed I can't breath and I swear we're better off DEAD And im sick of redemption without revision And Im sick of your eyes This isn't why you made her... This isn't why you made her...

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? Live it up, while you wait for it Live it up, lose a day for it And I know that it goes without saying That modern complexion is irrelevant here That the only means of air flow Is brought by the scent of your hair That candlelight serves better on the inside not out That the square engulfs the circle like the scream engulfs the shout I'm made of stone Medicate the unknown Serve me in small pieces So you'll never eat alone I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? You hold on to a fraction of the pigmentation That was left behind, rubble built on lies And I know that we were happy well before it was said That involuntary motion never felt so bad Tasting every single notion of my writers block Is just cause and effect of staring at this clock Now I'm walking to the ocean, looking to the sea Praying it will drown my sorrow with what's left of me Fill my lungs, now there's nothing left to say I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own Let them take what is left of me I just need to find my soul When the lights go out am I all alone? I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own I just need to find my soul When the lights go out...

This can't be right There's something inside that binds me Spending my nights thinking of ways… You'll find me closer to the sun… And I will swallow my pride, forget all the lies from lovers I know it's been said, the skirts on the bed, hearts flutter… Thoughts of suicide or flowers? It's known. Or at least it was at sometime... That these lies roll your lips at a drop of a dime... And the end... And the end is not worthy Of fairytale rhymes, peace of mind, don't be worried It's sad, that I had such foolish remorse For suspicion of lacking, for locking of doors Like the coat hanger swinging by means of your clothes Being torn… Being torn Like I've said, it's kind of sad, we can't hold on… And pain is said to sweep away whats left of breathing Like I've said, it's kind of sad, you won't hold on… A lover's bed, now dormant and deprived of meaning You can sneak, while the city sleeps Tie an anchor to my head You can moan, if it builds a thrown for a heart thats lined in lead Give it to me, give me more than…. give me more than you know… Give it to me, let me see you turn it to gold Turn it to gold

These words still remain quite the pleasant surprise You're bringing me lonely And I can't rely on the look in your eyes For the meaning of life So the fact still remains, you're... You're not looking out for me Like you said you would be Like the things that you said we could be With my ring wrapped around your finger With my heart kissing your shoe's sole It seems I will remain, just a man, still unchanged Never learning to let go Yes, this river of life has run dry for the night But that's nothing you didn't know I have built up this damn in the name of a plan Preaching "I can not learn to let go" Oh, it won't matter It won't matter It won't matter Lord, does it matter? Does it matter? Does it matter? Let the rain wash me clean Death has followed me These words still remain quite the pleasant surprise You're bringing me lonely And I can't rely on the look in your eyes For the meaning of life So the fact still remains, you're... You're not looking out for me Like you said you would be Like the things that you said we could be I've fallen apart Summer never sets on me I would die for a night of emotion I would give anything for that look in your eyes I would gladly jump into the fire, scream "I am a liar" Yes, I am a liar And I deserve nothing Lord, I deserve nothing Not even her taste, let alone her faith in me These words still remain quite the pleasant surprise You're bringing me lonely And I can't rely on the look in your eyes For the meaning of life So the fact still remains, you're... You're not looking out for me Like you said you would be Like the things that you said we could be Like the things that you said we could be Like the things that you said we could be Like the things, like the things that you said we could be

Open up your eyes and see We're worlds apart but Im still here waiting… Let go of these tendencies They keep us here and we have no room to… *Breath* "I find it hard to adjust to the ignorance flowing from words I keep hush And my head. Well, my head, it keeps secrets, but maybe they show?" "Oh… Well, wouldn't you know?" That it's gone? But at least I found Christ, or I say that I did when it comes to these nights… "Have I lost your morning touch?" "Oh, Will you ever lose your faith in me?" ….Or is this really in your plan? Take this burden, lay it on me I know this isn't funny... Coming down, Nail Unspoken I'll scale the mountains and I'll sail the sea, just searching for you… And if I find nothing, where's that leave me? I'll scale the mountains and I'll sail the sea, just searching for you… But what if I drown or I fall down a slope, should I pack for a life on my knees? Waste your time on self pity… Take your time when you're digging your hole… Take your time, like its on your side, but you're always just waiting to go When will I be free? I'm sure waiting's fun I'm cutting ties I'm living lies I'm just like everyone

We are young and in too deep Burning our bridges while we sleep Cutting down fabrics at the seams Strangling all our families Sheep I have given it up, given enough…given… You know that we can't... We can't come clean I saw the morning sun eat it's way through everyone Gracefully, we dance our way to nothing... Gracefully, we're bowing out too soon Patiently, I wait for word of something Knowing this ego will wash what is left of this stench that we hid with perfume Burn I can not breath. I can not breath Worms They live in me. They live in... I am gouging out my eyes I have made my bed with flies I have burned out with my light We are young and in too deep Burning our bridges while we sleep Cutting down fabrics at the seams Strangling all our families Sheep I have given it up, given enough…given… You know that we can't... We can't come clean I saw the morning sun eat it's way through everyone Gracefully, we dance our way to nothing...

Sitting all alone by candle light Dreaming of the times we had, while I drink away the bad It sure beats looking in your eyes when you're crying O, My dear... tell me you won't let go Tonight, we will burn whats left of pieces.. I'll deworm your silly sense of word I'll search for words tonight Never again will I ignite a flame A flame that can't be tamed Little girl, play in the street The cars will come and ruin this dream Tie off a knot just to call me your own... I'll give up my throne, though that much has been known Smile at all costs... Just don't let her get away Choking, evoking The ministers smoking... But you didn't hear that from me Soaking, Invoking... But she isn't joking... And all she can taste is my seed Stroking and croaking is not worth me cloaking to hide from a life on my knees Stroking and croaking is better than soaking in all of this sick tendencies I will learn to lie You're dreaming of a life... A life that I can't give Pieces...

It should come as no surprise... The motions were not enough to mesmerize And all the trees, they shook for miles around, just crying out Tainted by the look in your eyes.... The garden is now overgrown (the seeds we've thrown) I cannot stay here anymore The waters red for miles around, just singing out I'm singing out... I feel I'm losing my faith in everything I feel you've fallen out of view Now, have you lost your faith in me?! What the hell have I put myself through!? I'm digging holes for desertion What else is left to do? I'll tell you I did it to save you the time... But the truth's I have nothing to do... Well Oh, Lord... Oh, God... Or Oh, Something?! I broke a sweat tonight, while dreaming of you In the moments that I'm lacking such clarity, decency... What the hell can I do!? And all the trees, they will weep at the sound of your feet coming close in the night... They'll scream "We didn't know what's wrong from right!" And I still can't sing these words in tune Only you can save me from myself I wrote this beat at the sound of your feet getting closer.... You're getting closer, but I still remain quite unchanged and the secrets I keep won't redeem what's been lost in me And it kills me... It really kills me
