I Threw You A Rose

Ten years ago today
the first time i saw your face
amazing how the times gone by
how we got to this place
now youre lying in your final bed
so much between us is left unsaid
and now we're out of time and
as the casket closed, I threw you a rose
Chorus:
Tossed it at your feet
from just offstage our gazes meet
never thought youd see worth, in a monster kid like me
Something innate and eternal
something that transcends what we are
but the space between life and death
is just a little bit to far
2 years ago today
the last time i saw your face
crazy how things fall apart,
how people drift away
you fired arrows and i slung dirt
i think the silence was even worse
but we made our beds, mine in shadow
yours in dirt
chorus:
so fine it felt like sand
between our toes and in our hair
if theres a heaven, then for one night we were there
dancing barefoot beneath the stars
crashing waves just like your car
its funny how much joy and pain
can shape who were are
(musical interlude)
I threw you a rose,
as they shoveled dirt,
watch you fade beneath the earth
as i said my last goodbyes
left you alone in the rain
so muchs changed, so much the same
im still a fucked up kid alone, and you finally outran your pain

That Time Of The Month
01:37
|
|||
|
Your skin rips and your veins bulge
Splitting pain shoots through your skull
Fangs extend and coarse hair grows
Muzzle pushes out from a human nose
What once was a man
Is now a monster
Afflicted by this curse
Of unspeakable horror
Insatiable hunger for flesh
Waking up a blood mess
No memory of the crimes of the wolf
Saliva drips from sharpened teeth
Beast inside has been unleashed yeah
One night a month when the moon is full
Youll feel the supernatural pull
Chorus
Silver and wolfsbane
Or to kill the creature that made
Is the only way to find a cure
When madness courses through your veins
I dont think youll ever be the same
Give in to the hunger, embrace the wolf

Anything But A Tomorrow
02:14
|
|||
|
Well tonight the world dies,
In a blaze of atomic light
The sirens peel their warning cry
Out into the placid night
Though I know we wont survive
For tonight i feel alive
As I look into your eyes
As though its the first time
I would give you diamonds and pearls
Woooo-ooooo-oah
Anything found in the material world
Wooooo-oooo-oah
I would give you anything,
But tomorrow
All i ask if that you stay with me tonight
On a hillside above town
Wishing on all those hand me down
Stars that everyones wished on
Before the coming atomic dawn
Ill spend my last moments with you
And pray my final wish comes true
If we could only make tonight
Last until the end of time
Chorus
Solo break 4 measures

Sorry, We're Dead
03:17

Creatures of the night,
gather round the candle light
tonight we'll have some fun, and raise some hell
we'll gather round the board,
put one hand in thats all according
to this book called Reaching Past The Veil
Ouija are you there?
Can you hear my call, do you even care?
Did the planchette move, or is it in my head?
whats it spelling out?
grab a pen, and write it down
we'll read it back, and hear what they said
---------------------------------
Chorus:
sorry, were dead
we hope that youll try back again
sorry that we had to miss your call
please remove your hands
if youd like to try this call again
or maybe check back closer to the fall
sorry, were dead
weve got better shit to do instead of
listening to your angsty teenage woes
please remove your hands
weve gotta go, weve got plans
fuck you,, we consider the subject closed
---------------------------------
what the fuck is this?
did we just get blown off by the spirits
can they even do that, look it up
i just cant believe
they can blow us off and then just leave i
didnt think that ghosts could have friends
theyve got it pretty sweet
i wonder maybe if we would be
cool and popular if we were dead
Chorus 3:
so now were dead
we're popular and weve got friends
you may not believe me but its true
and when youre dead
youll be cool too, swear on my dead best
friend, you should give it a shot too
lets all be dead
and haunt the living till the end
and fuck with lame ass kids with oiuja boards
we'll all be friends
and speak through kids with damaged heads
and recruit kids like us, with power chords
come join the dead
bring your family, bring your friends
come join the dead
bring your family, bring your friends

Against All Gods
03:39
|
|||
|
theres an awful lot of fucked up people
in this world
and i know that im at least
two or three of them
theres no use complaining
in a world thats grown so cold,
but this i know,
im not going out with out swinging
against all gods, ill stand tall
keep climbing right back up, every time i fall
ill be your rock, if youll be my hard place
against all gods, and against you all
every day the aches settle deeper,
in my bones
and every night, i find myself,
a little more alone
its hard to fight the good fight
when you barely just ok
but i wont go
quietly, ill go down screaming
chorus
im so damn tired, of holding back the tide
of standing up alone, and swallowing my pride
my hands are scarred and my eyes
dont recognize my face
but still i try,
all the while singing to myself
against all gods, ill stand tall
keeping dragging myself up, everytime i fall
im my own rock, and im my own hard place
against all gods, against you all

Trick Or Trick

Gazin out my window this halloween
I saw the strangest thing ive ever seen
People changing in the streets oh yeah
chorus
This fog is rollin in
Has fused costumes to skin
Embrace the monster within
Mask becoming faces
Unable to tear away
fall in pillow cases as they change
Chorus
Knock knock, dont open the door
These trick or treaters are not children any more
Beware they are possessed by what theyve dressed

Touched By Evil
04:01

i aint the only hell my momma ever raised
but ill be the one that shell regret until shes in her grave
turned my back on the church, live on the wrong side of the law
momma slapped me in my face, said youre a disappointment to us all
chorus:
Im a bad bad man, been touched by evil
make very bad music for very bad people.
made up my mind to walk the left hand path
momma said son, someday, youre gonna feel gods wrath
im the only god i need, i answer to mkooyself
and on the day i die, ill have a special place down in hell
chorus
bridge riff
dont need your imaginary friend, i believe in myself
im living on my own terms and im doing it well baby
if living for me is wrong, i dont wanna be right
i light myway through the darkness with, some infernal light, alright
chorus

Lost At Sea
02:25
|
|||
|
Weigh anchor was the cry
the day i struck out on my own
to make a life, to find myself
to reap what i had sown
10 years at sea, through storms and calm
through battles mostly one
Til i caught sight of your black sails
Until you loosed your guns
Chorus:
I thought your lights were the shores of home
when i was lost at sea
But you were just another lost soul
drifting like me
Cant make a whore a housewife,
or a pirate to a prince
so you go your way, ill go mine
and pray my ship dont sink
ill drift off at the wheel,
to the sound of the waves break
another batter broken hull,
the wreckage in your wake
chorus
and though its dark and cold
and landfall seems so far away
i will not fear the night,
because of you i know my strength
and though my rigging ropes lay rotted
my sails slack and torn
ill keep on floating on this current
in hopes i find home
Chorus
you always wanted a love song, well heres the best you get
i wont be torn apart, theres still life in these bones yet

Never Miss The Sun
03:35
|
|||
|
Last night i touched your face
last night i kissed your lips
last night i felt your grace
in my hands upon your hips
last night inside our dreams
you vowed that youd be mine
your life, your love, for youth
until the end of time
I wanna touch your skin
I wanna know your love
I wanna taste your life
I wanna drink your blood
Chorus:
So tonight Ill cross a thousand miles
and wrap you in my arms
Ill drain the life from you
before the coming dawn
We'll close ourselves inside our crypt
As the shadows start to run
Tonight we're gonna win in this
Race against the sun
Tonight is your rebirth
tonight we're to be wed
tonight will be your first
of forever, as the dead
Tonight we'll shed your life
and cast your past aside
And start a life anew
Your king and my undead bride
I wanna touch your skin
I wanna know your love
I wanna taste your life
Im gonna drink your blood
Chorus:
Tonight Ill cross a thousand miles
And i'll wrap you in my arms
Hold you to my chest
as we hide from the dawn
Close ourselves inside our crypt
As the shadows start to run
And even if you dont forget,
you'll never miss the sun.
Bridge out

once upon a....
time wed spend all day in bed
watching return of the living dead
stoned a talking bout books wed read
laying naked in a knot of limbs
eating pizza, sharing grins
with you i learned to love the skin im in
that was so long ago,
and though i cant seem to let go
when i look at you, youre someone i dont know
chorus
what happened, to love conquers all?
what happened, to "ill be there to catch you when you fall"
what happened to growing old together
who knew that i would out live your forever
one upon a
time you said wed make it through
any obstacle, wed see it moved
once upon a time you said i do
the years they just flew by so fast
and now looking back it couldnt last
so many problems we couldnt get past
i thought without you i would die
but now ive slowly realized
that loving you was just a passive suicide
chorus
once upon a...
time you said you still loved me
and i believed you whole heartedly
all i ever wanted, was you and me
the day you told me we were through
i swear like hell i never knew
one day id be the one to close the door on you
and id forgive all that youve done
and all the lies that id discovered
if i hadnt seen your mask come un done

Somniloquy
02:18
|
|||
|
you say you heard me talkin,
talkin in my sleep
thats what you said
but you cant make out the words
another monologue, a diatribe
of the darkness in my head
these things i wish youd never heard
chorus:
no ones ever gonna see me again
theyre gonna put a bullet in the back of my head
at the end of a hall with a thousand doors
in a windowless room with sound proof walls
you say im crazy, you cant
live this way no more
thats what you said
you cant say how, but you say ive changed
theres a million voices calling
for my death, screaming
in my head
and they all sound like your name
chorus
in my dreams hands reach for me
theyre grabbing for my throat
some times the hands are mine
used to be your face, and your name
were my light and my hope
now im running scared and blind
Chorus

Preservation Of The Self
02:56
|
|||
|
When you came in last night,
You didnt look your best
Your skin was pale and cold
Your mouth it gasped for breath
Went to bed and said it was nothing
You just needed a rest
Now i find myself wondering
Howd we end up in this mess
I know i made a vow
But i dont think i can keep it now
Till death do us part
In sickness and in health but baby
This is just preservation of the self
Shouldve known when i saw the bites on your neck
Shouldve known when i saw the scratches on your back
Didnt wanna have to be the one
To have to put you down with my gun
Never wanted to have to tell you that youre dead
When your breath finally stopped
I dragged you across the floor
Locked your cold corpse away
Behind the cellar door
So sorry that its come to this love
You chained to the floor
And im sorry that i havnt the courage
That i cant do more
Bridge
Chorus
Your tortured screams of hunger
Kept me up until the sun
Rose up over the horizon
I knew the time had come
With shakin hands i load this last round
The deed is almost done
The nightmare will finally be over
With the sound of this gun
Chorus

Monster Squad

bring out your dead
bring out your wasted
bring out the frail
bring us the faded
bring us your black clad, makeup covered masses
bring out the tired
bring out the weak
bring all the weirdos
and the freaks
all the psychos in their 3d movie glasses
Monsters cant survive
in this unforgiving world all alone
so we survive together
an army of our own
Monsters cant survive
In this unforgiving world
We survive together
Monster SQUAD! SQUAD! SQUAD!
