replace pages with screens
they’ll shut up just fine
control them with these
we’ll see everything
remind them they bleed
pin it to a beast
then take everything
medicate the kids before they dream up something different
we can’t turn back our crumbs have long departed
the road we paved is far too long, the trek back too convicting
if we were wrong when we began then we’ll just make up our own ending
the road we paved is far too long, the trek back too convicting
if we were wrong when we began then we’ll just make up our own ending
see now you feel so free
forget about the lock
I hold the key crown me
master of the flock
it's all wrong but you gave up on all of that
you would rather suck upon the fat
it's all wrong it's all wrong its all wrong
can't you see the shackles slack?
so learn how to bleed
flee or just collapse
just don't believe
it’s the way it has to be
we'd succeed
so why the hell is no one listening?
medicated kids inherit medicated futures
their pill’s the lie, “you fall in line or suffer”
don’t you feel so free?
don’t you feel so free?

Keep Your Teeth

I keep my teeth
and never free whats happening
the blade behind the ivory’s
it’s thirsty, but don’t let it sing
or shed the sheath and
swing watch it cut her at the knees
it’s thirsty but don’t let it sing or let it drink
she’s singing the sweetest songs
and she wants me to sing along
but I keep my teeth
the blade behind the ivory’s
it’s thirsty but it won’t sing
now the sheath is sweltering
and a blade won’t sleep until sings
it’s thirsting
but I keep my teeth
I keep my teeth
yea I keep my teeth
oh I keep my teeth
separate your cage
dethrone your fetid king
separate your skin for the growth
stitch the wound or it wont ever close
it’s all easier said then done
a pound of flesh tastes second to none
and I can smell her sweet skin
so maybe just a little taste
and I’ll be back on my way
swear I’ll never eat again
so why the growing appetite if I can’t feast upon the night?
I’m thirsty
if I can’t can’t fill my glass in light
was I given the wrong advice?
was I given the wrong advice?
she’s singing the sweetest songs
and she wants me to sing along
but when I do it comes out double speak
and she eats every single word I preach
she’s singing the sweetest songs
and she wants me to sing along
but when I do it comes out double speak
and she eats every single word I preach

Mad Man

mad man running
mad man took a bad man’s tongue and now mad man’s the wanted?
now I think I'm finally catching on
your title on a paper makes you right or wrong
‘cause if a badge man kills a bad man
just is the deed
unless their skin ain't of the same tone
in that case pin his head to the wall as the people scream justice for all
bad man done it
mad man saw the bad man take the only one that he wanted
when the judge asks the mad man if he'd go back and spare that life would he ever reverse and let crawl the sick vermin
who had his way on that fateful night
I say it's be mad to say he'd say anything less than
let the hammer drop
strap me to the chair
let the sparks fly
put me in the air
let the hammer drop
I must admit
that I have thought something similar
I must admit
that I have thought of joining
mad men running
mad men who take the bad men's tongue's and become the wanted
could there be a better way to go
than with the image of him rotting slow
perhaps a badge man could lock him up
just is the deed
but then again he might let him go
in that case I'll pin his head to the wall
so I can finally scream justice for all

two in the bay and ten
in the freezer and their waiting for the one today
I think I’ll make it one two three
to the head to send the message that we’re gone
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
for the bodies to thaw and give me my clean slate
I can’t wait
cause then I’m gone
this is it
it’s the end
it’s the last drop I’ll ever have to let
dawn my robe and burn the rags of the past
I am death
for I am the very sickle of fate
unbowed to crest
damn the river flood a life of regret
hunter’s shadows become the hunted
follow not
my shades cast only their death
you don’t want to be like them
quartered sundered
you don’t want to see what they saw
hells own fire
hells own fire
don’t you follow
don’t you follow me
follow not
my shades cast only their death.
for hunter’s shadows become the hunted
don’t you follow
shades casts only their deaths
oh what a fine year we’re having here
but now you’re tell me you want to disappear?
when you signed up you didn’t fear
but now the family man says it ain’t fair?
you know how this works
nobody gets out of this work
nobody gets me
they all think they can forget me
well thats where they’re wrong
it’s just the same old song
now i got one more hit
cause he just had to go and mention my family
think I’ll make it one two three
to the head to send the message that we’re gone
I can’t wait
for the bodies to thaw and give me
my clean slate
I can’t wait
cause then I’m gone
and I’m going far away
you don't wan too be like them
you don't want to
you don't want to force my hand
I am death
for i am the very sickle of fate
unbowed to crest
damn the river flood a life of regret
damn the river flood a life of regret
damn the river now this life can begin

a fine pedestal can hide decay
but only you will fail to see the fade in the paint
you’ll hold your grips tight wonder why
why you've not moved a step since then
you won't ever step foot again
you must sever it's just weight
we are the ones who put in hand your golden key
and now that you're our leader
bow and wear the leash
bow and wear it
well I refuse to be cast in gold all to be sold a shrine to my defeat
cause I'll never leave the ground with gold weighing down my wings
let slip the dogs of war
let slip the dogs of war
we'll hover above
they can't eat what they can't reach
they can't eat what they can't reach
hover above
hover above
I don't need a thing from you
not a thing in me needs change
all the weapons for my battle rest inside of my name
so I refuse your gold and pedestals I found my own way
I will stay above your world without your weight on my wings
let slip the dogs of war
they can't eat what they can't reach
let slip the dogs of war
they can't eat what they can't reach

gentle winds show fangs delivering both death and decay when the ships long been seen
seemingly out to drift on a sea without sway
‘cause when the cargo stirs pulses turncoats
as their very own beats become bait
oh how I dreamt of sport
when I woke all my efforts met only mundane
and I laid aside my insatiable crave for claret
once I pried my eyes from the veins in their necks I said
my captor
your captain
denied deliverance
for you and your friends
when he let me in
my captor
your captain
he stole your innocence
I’m just what I am
now lets begin
but mercy lives
your mercy lives
your mercy lives in one swift cut
mercy lives in just one cut
first up I see the infantry line dance
as they fall to the speed of my shade
now its time for a little bit of sport
step aside as I stretch my wings
where is that man who thought it best
to try to smuggle death through his ranks
I swear for once I’m gonna enjoy
delivering the curse that binds me
death is a luxury when life is chaining
when the dead sing hallelujah its liberating
time moves without favor to crown
you can’t change it now
pride falls when your knees hit the ground
it won’t save you now
time moves without favor to crown
you can’t change it now
pride falls when your knees hit the ground
it won’t save you now
it won’t save you now
it won’t save you now
it won’t save you now
