1. A Little Death To Laugh
Somewhere in the Kingdom
Of my memory
A mirage of youth
A stream of infancy
You give me half the love I need
And no more
A little death to laugh
I lost a limb
On the left hand path
And I never ever got it back
I give you half the love I need
And no more
2. Young Prisoner Dreams Of Romance
All my days are spent chasing you
I am up to my age
A sniper on standby
Deadly
Goodbye
All my days are spent catching rain
I’m mending the pain
The flickering light
Dancing
Goodnight
I could change
Break the chains
And I will
At night I will think of you still
In a cage in my corner of Hell
I wrapped my head in bandages well
And the loneliest it ever gets
Is when the sun fucking sets
I need a cigarette
I’ve changed
Begged for change
And I pray
I will see you some day
4. Oceans With No End
Predestination and I am
Predestination and I was your friend
No hesitation on my end
Predestination and all life must end
Waiting for a train in Harvard Square
Waiting for the world to take me anywhere
Thought of you, the first time in five years
I love my life, I love my life
But you, What ever happened to you?
Holes in the road in to my heart
Holes in the road in to my bloated heart
Holes in the road in to my heart
Holes in the road in to my gloating heart
There are fields inside me
There are flowers growing
And rivers flowing
To oceans with no end
5. People Are Poison
I give you one step over the line
And then I’m gone
Waiting downtown with my heart in a sling
These people are poison in the pure of my stream
I give you one step over the line
And then I’m gone
One step over the line
And then I’m gone
Wondering why I don’t talk to you
It’s just nothing that I want to to do
You take one step over the line
And then I’m gone
Love ’em and leave ’em before you’re old
You can sell your soul for rock ‘n’ roll
But you better die young
Or you’ll be me or something
And then they will say
In your prime you were nothing
You were nothing
6. Black Boots
Open Earth
Anathema
Frozen thru infinity
You give me
Half of what i need
Words with no weight in them
Trees with no leaves on them
Black boots on a street
Faded by sun
Who will protect the police?
Who will pray for your god?
I live in half the world i need
Words with no weight in them
Bodies with no souls in them
There is a riot between
My heart and my tongue
People, There’s too many people
7. Meaningful Life
Some people lead very meaningful lives
Dedicated, devoted, husbands and wives
Some people lead very meaningful lives
I like to think of the tree
In your Rhode Island yard
That bloomed and was pretty
Some people lead very meaningless lives
Dedicated to nothing, slaves to time
Some people lead very meaningless lives
And maybe now you’re wondering how long
It has been since you have crossed my mind
I want to lead a very meaningful life
8. God Made The World
The first time I was arrested I kept it to myself
And now I need your help, your wallet and your wealth
God made the world
But I made this song
God made the world
But I made this song
For you
The first time I was rejected I kept it to myself
And now I need your help
If you never want to see me again
Then why do you call me “Friend?”
If you never want to see me again
Then why do you call me, Friend?
10. Nausea, The Earth, And Me
Tell me why do I try to find a way out
When this hole leads me back to a hole
Tell me how does strength make a difference
When all I ever strongly feel is indifference
Watching smoke explore the canals of my body
From cocaine to caffeine and all in between
Disgusting family sitting in a restaurant
Passing animals and stories around the table
Chid actor in art school explores perversion
Like an unwanted roach dancing in your ear
Tell me why am I even listening
When you’ve never said a thing I want to hear
11. Don’t Blow Up The Moon
Love and war and a terrible taste in men
That is how all life began
I was a Christian ’til age seven and well then…
Love and war and a terrible taste in men
Don’t Blow up the Moon
Love and war, You have terrible taste in men
I’m in the crosshairs of depression
No offense to me, none taken, naturally
Love and war, You have terrible taste in men
Don’t Blow up the Moon
Love and war and a terrible taste in men
From beneath the sheets of deceit…
How your life began
Stop telling me of your friends’ horrid bands
Love and war and a terrible taste in men
12. Beaten 1979
Smash the outside
Terminate world
See my virgin halo running ’round
I own this town
High in flight
Bursting cloud
I wrote this as my plane was going down
Going down down down down
Depressed Skull
Fractured thought
A milky paragon of excess heart
Excessive heart
Desert death
Nile life
Stand in front of a heater, tell me it’s hot
It is hot
Beaten 1979
My name kisses cement
Thinking of a friend in the hurricane now
I was that
And now am this
We were then
And now we are now
That is that
Doom doom doom
Your lover is looking is looking around the room
Time to go
