Reach
Reach
Reach
It don't reach for you.
You think you're reaching for a mark,
You're reaching for the noose.

Euphrates

Frozen feet
Metallic heart
You should have stayed asleep
Cyanide
Genocide
You should have stayed asleep
You should have stemmed the Euphrates
You still can
You should have stemmed the Euphrates
Nobody lives forever
Impermanent
Effortless winds sweep us off our feet
They were clear to us once; not so now,
A whisper from the smoke, the smog
Wormtongue
Rotted teeth
Fiends in the clouds
Why are you complaining?
I warned you long ago,
You should have stayed asleep
You should have stemmed the Euphrates
You still can
You should have stemmed the Euphrates
Nobody lives
Watching, waiting, hoping for some answers
Wandering alone in the dark
Spring it follows, giving way to summer
Leaves begin to fall
Still nothing's really changed at all
Words come flowing, flowing like the river
They carry me away from you
Just rivers and skies too blue.

Long Night
04:39
|

|
I wake to the sound of opening doors
And footfalls
I wake to the sound of a million voices
Calling for my life
I answer their call, step off the edge
Fool, I walk my own path
Fool, I leave this world on my own terms
Fool, I don't choose to live and want and breathe and die
Fools, all and every one
Pray for me, pray for us
Cause life has killed my mind
And we have killed our children
Love has killed my mind
And I, my kids
Drink deep my love, my friends, drink deep
For the night is long, and you can't take it with you
No, I can't take you along

Soon my friends
We'll jump the fence
And meet them in the free land
Soon my friends
The walls come down
We'll see who's standing over us
Soon my love
But don't wait for us
The cold it comes for all of us
Soon my friends
We'll jump the fence
And catch the fucker sleeping
Soon my friends
The traps we laid
Will get them in the softest
Soon my love
But don't wait for us
I'll see you in the next world
You'll search for me but I'll be no more.

Come in
Sit down
I don't bite
Look into my eyes
Is it what you want?
Do you ever wonder what it would be to combine?
Do you ever look at me and wish we could be one?
You see I'm just hungry
And your so small
Do you think if you were just a little bigger
Then the world wouldn't feel so tall
And dark
Maybe just a taste
And how could you refuse?
This is what you want
To be part of something greater
To be someone bigger
To fit somewhere higher
Then why is it enough?
Maybe we need another.

Walk away
Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away from me
Little darling,
My sweet little love,
Don't you know what you put me through?
Serpentine
Take her heart
Take her liver too
It's got them beady eyes
Stillborn smiling
Cheshire grin
It's got those long fingers
To open doors
Slow and creaking
Oh you really had it coming
You really asked for it
Serpentine rears its head

It's a good guy who does no wrong
Toes the fucking line
Won't save him
It's a slick chap who buys the house
Feeds the wife and kids
Won't save him
What did you think,
The world was fair?
The lions eating hay?
The water burns when I come to collect
Me, and the ancient of days
When you lie down at night, and you close your eyes
When you're driving to work, when you sip at your tea
When your laying alone in your room at night
When your staring at the screen
That's when I'll take you
Did no one warn you?
Was it unexpected?
Were you waiting for someone else?
Well I'm sorry my dear,
My sweet little snowflake
I'm sorry to disappoint
It's just the ancient of days, and me.

Mara

Forty days in the desert
Forty years in the wilderness
Ten years on a mountain
Seven weeks in a haze
Mara gave my the password
Mara showed me the way
It doesn't have to be so hard
So lonely and grey
Thought I had what they wanted
Thought I had something to say
Maybe I've just forgotten
Can't be so important anyways
Maybe I was eaten by a big fish
Had no say in any of this shit
Damn you ingrates
Damn you all to hell
Don't leave me here to wither
Don't leave me in a cell

End Scene // Conclusion
02:33

Our time is over
Our age is through
The two become one
Shall we descend into the dust?
Night falls
Her skirts amok
And her flirting mouth
I've never been so in love.
I'm calling at the timberline
Waiting for the shepherd or the wolf.
