Belly Of The Beast

Belly Of The Beast
Deep inside the city
The streetlights breathe in and out
The sky lies in the gutter
And the "Good Time Ghosts" buzz about
Deep inside the city
Belly of the Beast
When they take you for all you worth
Please try to smile at least
Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell
'Cause if I could
You know I would
Join in the fun as well
Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell
They have a dirty job to do
But you know they do it well
Deep inside the city
I feel your heart bleeding out
We know just how the story ends
But not what it's about
Been dreaming like a man on fire
Burning in his own bed
If you could grant me just one wish
I wish that it was you instead
Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell
'Cause if I could
You know I would
Join in the fun as well
Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell
They have a dirty job to do
But you know they do it well
And the "Janitor Of Lunacy"
Will sweep up what is left of me
Into the insanity
Into the unknown
Like raindrops falling on the sea
Deep into infinity
As long as you're as lost as me
We'll never be alone

Skin

Skin
I tried on someone else's skin
That fit better than my own
So, when no one was looking
I took it on back home
I used and I abused it
I posed and decomposed
And every time I thought of you
Like Lazarus, I rose
I run my nails down your back
Red rivers running through
Ashen skin, of porcelain
Oh, what else could I do?
People like you use your skin
To string along the fool
But if I were in your skin
I'd do the same thing too
This skin is just a thing
We wear to hide the fear
That if we were to take it off
There might be nothing there...

Land Of Anxiety

Land Of Anxiety
Memory bubbles burst like blisters
All throughout the doubtful night
Razor sharp contradictions
Cling to everything in sight
I'd really love to save you
But I’m tied up in these memories
Infected by the thought patterns
The pathogens of this disease
A land of anxiety
As far as the eye can see
As free as a fool can be
Having so much fun it’s killing me
When they finally find
And kill the enemy
Do you think they’ll let us see?
Will they show it on TV?
The menace of reality
Hangs heavy overhead
But if elected I won’t stop
Until the day we slay it dead!
A land of anxiety
As far as the eye can see
As free as a fool can be
Having so much fun it’s killing me
If she finally finds a husband
If he finally takes a wife
If they finally make enough money
And children to win at life
A land of anxiety
As far as the eye can see
As free as a fool can be
Having so much fun it’s killing me

Scatterbrain
I don't remember much
Other than your touch
I don't recall at all
The things that left me such...
Sometimes I even will
Forget myself and still
I know I always will
Know I always will
Not remember much
Other than the feel
Of your teardrops on my cheeks
So seemingly surreal
I do not know your name
I lost it years ago
Or maybe it was yesterday
I have no way to know
I'm a hopeless scatterbrain
I know I don't know much
But I know I'll die in shame
If I forget your touch
A hopeless scatterbrain
I know I don't know much
But I know I'll die in vain
If I forget your touch
I lost myself in you
I know you know it's true
Maybe we will meet again
Somewhere in the deja vu

Inside Out

Inside Out
Somewhere in the endless white
You will learn to love your parasite
If he finds you like he might
You will never be alone
Somewhere where the secrets slip
Through the cracks of lying lips
Where time crawls across your hips
Please don’t forget to phone
Oh, you know a lie so true
Lies in the Inside Out for you
The more you try to hide inside
The more you bleed right through
Somewhere in the Inside Out
You learned what this was all about
And now you are without a doubt
Even more confused
Somewhere where the secrets slip
Through the cracks of lying lips
Where time crawls across your hips
There’s nothing left to lose
Oh, you know a lie so true
Lies in the Inside Out for you
The more you try to hide inside
The more you bleed right through
So glad that you got to play
So sorry it should end this way
I guess there’s nothing left to say
Other than auf Wiedersehen
Somewhere in the Inside Out
I learned what this was all about
And now I am without a doubt
Even more confused
Somewhere in the Inside Out
There’s nothing left to lose

Get A Grip
I fear we're married to our fears
To the stranger in the back that leers
At each mistake, you make and wears
A ring that shackles yours to theirs
I fear we're married to our fears
I fear there is no time for tears
In a life divorced from a world that cares
I fear we're married to our fears
Keep your eyes on the road
Keep your hands on the wheel you hold
Don't let it slip from your fingertip
Don't lose your grip
Don't lose your grip
I fear we're married to our fears
To the stranger in the back that leers
At each mistake, you make and wears
A ring that shackles yours to theirs
I fear we're married to our fears
I fear there is no time for tears
In a life divorced from a world that cares
I fear we're married to our fears
Keep your eyes on the road
Keep your hands on the wheel you hold
Don't let it slip from your fingertip
Don't lose your grip
Don't lose your grip...

Mistakes
The beauty of impurity
In awe of the flaw
A break in the assembly line
That could create something sublime
A crack across the facade
That lets the light leak in
A mistake that might just take
Us somewhere where we've never been
Our fatal flaw
Was we saw, you see
Distortions, where there was beauty
Leviathanic patterns
Far too big for us to see
What we mistake for mistakes
Just threads in the complexity
Mutations in the DNA
That made the world the way we see
Mistakes that our parents made
That gave me you, that gave you me
Our fatal flaw
Was we saw, you see
Distortions, where there was beauty

Behind The Night

Behind The Night
Behind the night
Hidden, in a strand of DNA
Your second sight could find me
Still a million miles away
I could fall into a sleep
So deep and so steep
I could fall for weeks
And still not
Find the truth behind the night
Hidden just out of sight
Behind the night
Hidden, in a strand of DNA
Your second sight could find me
Still a million miles away
I could fall into a sleep
So deep and so steep
I could fall for weeks
And still not
Find the truth behind the night
Hidden just out of sight
If I said I loved you
I hope I did not lie
I hope I get to live
Before I get to die
Behind the night
Hidden, in a strand of DNA
Your second sight could find me
Still a million miles away
I could fall into a sleep
So deep and so steep
I could fall for weeks
And still not
Find the truth behind the night
Hidden just out of sight

You Must Be Mad

You Must Be Mad
You must be mad to walk into
The jaws that frame this point of view
You must be mad because it's true
No one loves me like you do
If I ever fall apart
Would you have the heart
To let me know?
If I ever fall apart
Would you have the heart
To let all this go?
And down there in the shifting sand
These rusty bones lay where they land
You must be mad to be so glad
To lend this fool a helping hand
If I ever fall apart
Would you have the heart
To let me know?
If I ever fall apart
Would you have the heart
To let all this go?
You must be mad to step into
The jaws that frame this point of view
But I guess I must be to
'Cause when I fall, I fall for you
If I ever fall apart
Would you have the heart
To let me know?
If I ever fall apart
Would you have the heart
To let all this go?
If I ever fall apart, I fall for you
