Here again,
We hear simple words calling out like,
"ONE-BY-ONE!"
Ricochet off every surface 'till it
Rings around the world.
Simple plan:
Ripple making with the wake of a simple stone.
Every single hand remake the face of the ocean with every throw.
My feet won't touch the ground
If no one sets them down.
We won't feel the air, we won't feel the wind
If no one runs against.
Here again,
We hear simple words, screaming out like,
"ONE-BY-ONE"
Ricochet, off every surface till this
Thing surrounds the world.
Building out further than anyone, ever has before
May be the only plan worth making that
Anyone can afford.
My feet won't touch the ground.
If No one sets them down.
We won't feel the air, we won't feel the wind,
If No one runs against.

Venom Child

He took it down and buried it, the dogs are on his back.
The sweat was salty quite the norm evaporating fast
"Come on in and stay awhile, and wash your wands"
Said that Soil, with a smile, to the Man.
You see I've never seen, a better scene
The beggar's choice to some degree
To take away, so violently
The Venom Child, the Venom...
He took the night, and trembling hands, and stole away.
And guilt was probably sitting overhead on
- replay -
Pray you only fight it off for a spell!
Then the man yelled, with fire on his breath, that "only time, only time"
Would, would, tell, yeah: Would, would, Tell, yeah
Would, would, tell tell, "NO you can't judge: cuz my time ain't up!"
I've never seen, a better scene
The beggar's choice to some degree
To take away, so violently
The Venom Child, the Venom...
On his back, fighting still, the dogs determined to get their fill.
Well damn you, Guilt! And damn the thrill, I'll bury you too I swear I will...
I'll bury you too I swear I will!
I've never seen, a better scene
The beggar's choice to some degree
I've never seen, a better scene
The Venom Child, The Venom.

Light Years

....yesterday,
You were never far away.
...."years away,"
Always such an easy play.
See the same picture in a rotted frame.
And I delayed, what I wanted to say," ________."
All too soon, this empty room
Is all I have.
From light years away I'm seeing all the things I never got to say;
I took no time to.
Now the distance to the sun is closer than the gap I'd have to bridge;
Just to find you.
I apologize.
For seeing the light. years. away.
....so here, today,
I'd like to think I wouldn't wait.
....and face to face,
I'm saying all I wanna, all I wanna,
All I want to say is:
This, is...
...an empty room...
...is all that...
...I have...
...so much to say!
From light years away I'm seeing all the things I never got to say;
I took no time to.
Now the distance to the sun is closer than the gap I'd have to bridge;
Just to find you.
I apologize!
Cuz I've seen the Light! I've seen the Light! I've seen the Light!
Further than I, (further than I let it)
Further than I, (Let it slip away)
....From where I was I'm years away I'm seeing all the things I never got to say;
NOW I've got the time to.
Now the distance to the sun is closer than the arms I'd have to give;
Stretched out to you.
I will say it Now, I'll sing it every Day:
Never be, Never be, you know I'll never be...
I'll never be light years away.

Could this distance, render me unfit to live?
Please... no prescription:
Let the pain resonate until I am
Trembling, and waiting, and breathing slowly. Soul escaping...
I'm so tired of being tied to this cross, here that you gave me.
I'm so deprived of being alive in this skin;
Its making me crazy.
Could this vision, simmering under the lid
Be my own prison? Walls on four side,
Closing in. I'm trembling, and waiting, and breathing slowly soul escaping
I'm so tired of being tied to this cross, here that you gave me.
I'm so deprived of being alive in this skin;
Its making me crazy.
Places we yearn for, pages to turn more
Places we yearn for, waiting on the other side of that door, waiting waiting waiting
I'm so tired of being tied to this cross, here that you gave me.
I'm so deprived of being alive in this skin;
Its making me crazy.
I'm....c.
.........r.
...........a.
............z.
.............y.

Steal the Black Bread

How could we let
The curtain fall?
Were we insane...watching the life begin
To leak from every single scar.
Making voyeurs of us All.
Forgive the hand
And forgive the knife,
For losses cut...won't bleed as red as
The flesh beneath this sullen sky.
"How can we kill them all tonight?"
"It's not just a right to survive!"
Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
Fly that flag, only red and red and...
You tap the veins
And nearly drown.
And honest eyes...would think by now that all
The blood and oil and all you've found.
Would run your truth into the ground!
Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
Fly that flag, only red and red and...Black.
"I won't allow it BURN"
Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
Fly that flag, only red and red and...
Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
