Silver Nails Impales

the silver nails impales and rails your brain
strikes through the skull as it fails your dying remains
the bones are sticking up up thru the mud
and you just wanna get out but your eyes are covered in blood
it doesn't seem like the end is here
but when it comes I'll sure to be running running in fear
I'll sure to be running in fear
when the silver nails impalesit
rips your guts out
you wanna get away
but it pulls you down
and you just have to say
come with me I'm going to a pretty place where the flowers grow and I can see your face I can almost see it now and I know and I know and I know
she promised herself
that's what was coming
she needed to go
but had no way of running
His fingers wanted all of my memories
but I didn't want to give him my mother, my father or all the trees
that I've seen and thought about for oh so long
They're precious only to me, this all wrong
And I had to run but I couldn't run cuz my feet wouldn't move
And I had to think of a way out, but I couldn't think, cuz my brain was confused
And all I could see was blood dripping from my brow
And I was certain i would make it, but I wasn't certain how
And my hand reached out for fire, and my mind reached for something that wasn't there
and my finger kicked and my legs swam but nothing around me seemed to care
I wasn't even sure I was even moving, but at least I thought I was doing okay
but then he struck me with silver nail and then he impaled my brain
striking though skull as it failed my dying remains
and my bones poked through my elbows
and my open veins searched for light
and tightly pulled skin was starting to crack
not even light bulbs now seemed bright
and my insides were my outsides and my
outsides were all over the place
on floor and on his face
and several vital slice of my me
could be crushed beneath your feet
and my blood was coming
right up to my knees
and i was starting to think i must
have some horrible disease
he just wanted to see what the silvers nails could do
When the silver nail impales, you'll see when it's thru
My blood and brain, splattered the ceiling
and I was left with nothing not even a feeling
the bones and the skin
the blood and the eyes
the ribs and lips
the drips and the flies
fester inside
she just wants to die

Scorched from the Seat
00:43

It seemed like a good idea at the time
But after running over it again and again in my mind
I'm starting to think I really could have done more
But it's always too late and it will always end like before

Cantankerous, anxious and swelling
Arthur Digby Alexander was telling
another story he had told one
thousand times about how much fun
he could be 10
2
can't you see
even in sobriety
he wouldn't let his anxiety
get to be
a problem
probably
No society
has the problem see
but these people
wouldn't listen
they just dismiss him
say he's no fun at all
won't even drink alcohol
But in reality 14

Cantankerous, anxious and swelling
Arthur Digby Alexander was telling
another story he had told one
th ousand times about how much fun
He wanted to be 10
2
But the story was as always exaggeration
and no amount self congratulation
will convince anyone your anyone but yourself 8
He lost his tact and subtlety
believing it was honesty
but it was just a new lie to tell everybody else 8
non-sequitors in conversation
interrupting even capitulation
Just to tell of another minute victory
And again he was 10
Cantankerous, anxious and swelling
Arthur Digby Alexander was telling
another story he had told one
thousand times about how much fun
He really is 10

A Weakly Day
01:36

It's just another
weakly day
won't remember this one
no it's already starting to fade
thought that you would
spend your time
a little better
and you wouldn't mind
if maybe we didn't do that tonight
but I guess we will
cause we got nothing better to do
and time to kill
It's just another
weakly day
nothing of interest
more of same
If you had any sense
you'd have gone long ago
If you had any sense
then I guess you would know
you'd have done something
and the days go and the day go by
weeks weeks weeks shooting on ahead
months months plodding along
and then it's years and then your dead
oh it's the memories you never thought you'd lose
Oh it's all things you wish you could still do
it's all the things that you imagine you could feel
Cause when it's been a weakly week, dreaming's got appeal

Things
00:53
|

Oh you know money is
my little honey but
she left me so long ago
i just want to be with her
the things I would see with her
i guess that I will never know
The moments spent dreaming
always keep things seeming
like they will soon be okay
But I'm starting to dread
that I'll soon be dead
And things won't ever have changed
Nothing but regrets yeah
Nothing makes sense
I tripped - and I fell and I'm here
I think I've changed forever
Not sure it's for the better
But is change really something to fear?

Why don't you just say
why don't you just say
why don't you just say
what you are thinking
no one is listening
no one is listening
no one is listening
anyways
Why don't you just do?
Why don't you just do?
Why don't you just do?
what you wanted
No one is watching you
No one is watching you
No one is watching you
They don't care
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
If I could just
meet myself
There is
no reason
you should be
this way
There is nothing but looking forward to what is coming and there is nothing
There is nothing but looking forward to what is coming and there is nothing
There is nothing but looking forward to what is coming and there is nothing
There is nothing but looking forward to what is coming and there is nothing
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard to see outside, it's so hard, it's so hard
Why don't you just say
why don't you just say
why don't you just say
what you are thinking
No one likes you
No one likes you
No one likes you
anyways
I'm not really sure
I'm not really sure
I'm not really sure
this is Conversation
But it sure is fun
But it sure is fun
But it sure is fun
It's almost like having one

Growing from a Crack
00:55

What was there to know?
Growing in a crack
Nothing up above but
There's no looking back
Squeeze between the tombs
you'll have to use your back
'Cause there's no one looking out for you
Growing in a crack
