Dirger


I guess I have laughed at the ways that they run around
They run around knowing that
Disposable ways are all that they think about
So I think about just
How I try not to lie
But I do, so who am I
To lower them for all the shells that they wear around
The people they want to be?

I can't laugh anymore
What never was cannot be restored
Above and beside it all is the last place we will ever be
Stark self-obsession marks the strings of our reverie

Tell me just how elite is this status you're grabbing at?
You claw it up, and I see
Who's ladder you're climbing, and guess what I think of that?
Well I think about just
How I try not to lie
But I do, so who am I
To lower them for all the shells that they wear around
The people they want to be?

I can't laugh anymore
What never was cannot be restored
Above and beside it all is the last place we will ever be
Stark self-obsession marks the strings of our reverie

But no, I will not throw it away
I refuse to throw it away
I'll assert myself every day
I'll assert myself every day
I will not throw it away
I will not throw it away

Cigarettes

An unsatisfied small town girl -- no attention, ego torn
Killed ten miles from where she was born
A stranger says, "I'll make you a star...just come on and hop into my car"
Sweaty hands, nervous glance, in an instant she attempts to weigh
What he knows, where they'll go, and if anyone will miss her while she's away

She dries her tears and he smokes his cigarettes
Locks the door and hits the road, she's left to bleed to death

Ether spell...is this hell? The bright lights are merely the first sting
A sweaty haze...she starves for days and all she hears is the Cohen that he sings
Pain had never been this real before...she hadn't been laid like that before
He says, "Missy, won't you kiss me? I'm gonna show you God!"

She dries her tears and he smokes his cigarettes
Locks the door and hits the road, she's left to bleed to death

She dries her tears and he smokes his cigarettes
Locks the door and hits the road, she's left to bleed to death
Is this all she knows of a dead future?
Lying on the ground...her feet are bound...you know she won't be getting up

Open Your Eyes

Life passes by like a fleeting breeze
Rustles memories than quickly leaves
Ignorance, it is completely bliss
Until the ultimate deadly kiss

Your knowledge is derivative
Your opinions, they are relative
I push and pull, you don't give
Nothing's learned until you live

Your knowledge is derivative
Your opinions are relative
Fools share knowledge while the wise ones laugh
You can write that on my epitaph

Open your eyes

Your knowledge is derivative
Your opinions are relative
Fools share knowledge while the wise ones laugh
You can write that on my epitaph

Tokyo Campus

The better days that I have missed, now squandered in an eternal abyss
And you wonder why I'd abandon the hope I once saw in your stare
Well forget it now, 'cause it's just not there
It died the moment you tied my hands and my want to escape is all that stands
You romanticize complexity, but it's so simple how you entrap me
I must cut straight through you, that's all that's left to do
Don't count the blood that you loose, just measure all my time that you've abused

I bleed time, I bleed time
And I'm thanked with the shards of my lost life

If I must choose between the lesser of two evils,
There is no doubt that it will bring about your ultimate upheaval
As for me, I don't buy into your polar bit
But there's a world between us, and we're on either end of it
I see that you've put me here....and the path out has become clear
I must cut straight through you, that's all that's left to do
Don't count the blood that you loose, just measure all my time that you've abused

I bleed time, I bleed time
And I'm thanked with the shards of my lost life

Slap

Well, is this regicide? A jealous mutiny?
Relish your reign of blood...it drips temporarily
Think you can scare us off? We will just joke you more
And drain your right to propagate these jihad whores

We won't lose our foundation
A contradiction of our creation

Feel the reactive burn, retaliatory sting
We saturate our pride, with death our agents bring
And if our vision's red, we'll bleed hypocrisy
And they'll get caught with absolutely no lead

We won't lose our foundation
A contradiction of our creation
