Lyrics

The Better Me

Imagine I'm in two places at one time

Like a splitting cell

Myself, I parallel

My better half walks a straight and narrow path, while I'm wasting all my days

Turning circles in a maze.

 

He's easy to believe because he wears life on his sleeve

While I tend to babble, and what I wear unravels

He's walking tall through a world without a flaw, while I'm spending every day

Cleaning up the mess I've made.

 

It's kinda like Of Mice and Men as a slapstick comedy

Seems like a search that never ends Seeking the Better Me.

 

Imagine a world

A world without me

Imagine a world with no reason to doubt me.

 

He says and does all the right things

Me? I've talked my way out of every chance

He is me, but with spring in his step

That I try to emulate in this silly awkward dance

 

Seems kinda like Of Mice and Men as a slapstick comedy

Seems like a quest without an end, Seeking the Better Me.

Scratching At The Surface

Inward lies inspirations dark and divine

Thoughts that cannot scale the inner wall

Thus are never quite defined at all

Like a sea painted on a tapestry

Dry and idle rendered by the hand

See how much the same I am

Maybe life is a journey with no destination

Maybe triumph and tragedy

Have been predetermined

Lessons from the past light my darkened path

   Such is this

   The strange life

      Pieces of my joy and pain are all I have to give you

      Sharing them may be their greatest purpose.

      I bear my soul but all in vain, though my tales may touch you

      I know I'm only scratching at the surface.

It's a verve too elusive for these words, that even now I'm finding hard to write

Such an esoteric surge, like phantom pains, or the rhythm of the falling rain

As intangible as time

I try to catch it just the same

Maybe life is a journey with no destination

Maybe triumph and tragedy have been predetermined

Lessons from the past light my darkened path

   Such is this

The strange life

Confession

I ask of YOU
Redemption for the
Man I am
Confess my pride
Assassin of my soul.
YOU refuse to make
Me whole.
Faith feighned…
A cloak to wreath my
Emptiness
I masquerade a
Silent prayer to hide
The fear you're not
There
Forsaken. Taken in
The Fall
Better to have loved
And lost
Then never to have
Loved at all?
I look and do not
See you
I listen and do not
Hear you
Silence
Emptiness
Yet, my heart
Hungers.
But still you remain
Silent
And refuse to make
Whole.
If you are here
And hear me
What was my faith for?
I cannot know what
Is not revealed to me

Kyle

I'll take the axe outta Max and I'll bury it in Harriette

There's nothing that she can say

I pack a gun just for fun, but I kill with a drill

Love to watch your life bleed away

I'll mutilate your roommate as you helplessly await

The feel of my steel

I'll soon be chewing all the brains a-spewing

It's more than just a meal

 

      I'm a homicidal Necrophile and never without my tools

      All that's lacking is an old-fashioned kacking

      And I'm a kacking fool

 

I'll come to your place with a smile on my face

I'll get in the door with a smooth line

Then. I'll fix your drain or remove your brain

Whatever I'm feeling at the time

Perhaps when your dead, I'll chop off your head

And skillfully carve it up

Then I'll sit for a while and drink your bile

From my bloody lovin' cup

 

      I'm a Necrophile with a low profile, and incredibly average description

      I'm a regular guy with a gleam in my eye and a two-corpse-a-day addiction

 

The girl next door, they said was a whore

But I had to drag her in here

I simply must have her lovely cadaver

Hanging from my chandelier

She begged and pleaded

That she'd give me what I needed

But I only needed her dead

Because nothing says lovin' like her limbs in the oven

And her carcass in my bed

 

I rented new places and filled those crawl spaces

With friends and lovers I'd had

Nothing could topple this thriving necropolis

Such a lively and happening pad
