NIGHT RAVEN SWINGING
AND DARKLY WINGING
LEAFAGE FOAMING
WHERE HOOFS ARE RINGING
SO SHALL WE HUNT EV’RY NIGHT THEY SAY
UNTIL THAT HUNT ON THE JUDGEMENT DAY
GRAVES ARE CALLING WITH OPEN MOUTHS
AND WE ARE DEATHFOLK
SORROW AND DEATHFOLK
TO GRAVES! TO GRAVES!
TO DREAM-BEWILDERED SLEEP
OH COULD WE BUT REST PEACEFUL!

The Mud

THE MUD
THE COGNITIVE TRAPS
IN RATS AND MEN
BRUISES MAKE A MAP
IN A LIFE OF FADING ZEN
DEALS MADE IN THE BACK
RULES THEY ALWAYS CHANGE
IN THE NIGHTMARE PACT
NO HOME BUT THE GRAVE
ACCEPT THE MYSTERY
IN A TIME OF CRUEL MIRACLES
THE SECRET HISTORY
FROM THE AMERICAN ORACLES
THE COMING MUD WILL
SWALLOW UP
EVERY PATIENT DREAM

MISERABLE PATH
PARTISANS AND WIZARDS
WITH A BUNKO WORLDVIEW
THE HEART HAS GONE CYNICAL
ITS REALLY NOTHING NEW
THE SCHISM AND THE CURSE
A PRISM IS REVERSED
LISTENING ONLY FOR THE WORST
THE WISDOM IS REHEARSED
IVE SEEN REVEALED A THOUSAND TIMES
THE MISERABLE PATH IVE KNOWN
BUILT A CASTLE IN MY MIND
WITH A KEYHOLE I CALL HOME
THE DANCERS IN THE COURT
ARE TIRED OF THE HOPELESS SORT
SELLING EVERYBODY SHORT
THE BARBARIANS AT THE DOOR
ITS REALLY NOTHING NEW!

SALVAGED SHIPS
I HAVE SALVAGED MANY SHIPS
DOUBLED DOWN ON MY CHIPS
I EVEN LIKE SOME OF THE ABUSE
VAMPIRES WITH PARTED LIPS
OVER THE YEARS AND THE STEADY SIPS
BOOTLEGGING PLASMA LIKE A TONTON MACOUTE
DO YOU WONDER AT NIGHT
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS JUST RIGHT
WERE YOU WRONG ALL ALONG?
NOW WE’RE HAPPY YOURE GONE
EVERY ARMOR’S GOT A CHINK
YOUR BODY BENDS AROUND THE LINK
YOUR SOUL TWISTED AS IT GREW
BUT THE WORLD WILL LOSE ITS STING
YOULL CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT THEY THINK
IF YOU ONLY KNOW HOW SELDOM THEY DO

MIRAGELAND
HOW YOU WANNA LIVE YOUR LIFE?
HOW YOU WANNA SEE IT GO DOWN?
ACCORDING TO THE DREAMS OF THE RICH
THEY RUN EVERYTHING INTO THE GROUND
STATIONARY TARGET
LIBERTIES IN THE MARKET
EXODUS FROM GARAGELAND
WE WANDER WITH NO CONNECTION
MIRAGES IN THE SAND
CHASING OUR OWN REFLECTION
THRASHING FISH OF BLUE AND PEWTER
THEYRE DYING ON THE BEACH
WE TRIED TO LIVE IN A FUTURE
WHERE THERES NOTHING FOR US TO BREATHE

CAMP MONGO
YOUR HEAD THREAD THROUGH THE NEEDLE
AND KICK AWAY THE CHAIR
RUN ACROSS THE COUNTRY
SEEKING SOME REPAIR
YOU ARE JUST A MEAN STREAK
IN A GORGEOUS HEAD OF HAIR
THE TIDES GO OUT WHERE
THERES NO THERE THERE
TRUTHS AND LIES
THE PULP AND RINDS
THE NOISES GROW
WHERE THE BREEZES BLOW
BUT YOUR JUST THE CHIMES

THE Y
HIPSTERS AND VETERANS
ALL THE SAME IN THE STEAM
IN THE CORNER HE AUTO-ORGASMS
DOES HE EVEN WANT TO BE SEEN?
THE OLD MAN NEXT TO HIM AINT HAVING IT
WITH THE WAY HES BEEN GRABBIN IT
AS THE CLOUDS EVAPORATE
MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE DEGENERATE
YOU SIT AND BEAT YOUR MEAT
WITH FLIP FLOPS ON YOUR FEET
HE SAYS HE WONT COMPLY
WITH THE RULES AT THE Y
IM NOT ONE OF THESE PRUDES
IN THE SHOWER WEARING A TRACK SUIT
SHOOT THE SHIT WITH THE DUDES
IN THE NUDE IN THE LOCKER ROOM
BUT WHEN I GO ON SATURDAYS
I THINK ALL THE GAYS ARE AFTER ME
CHECKING BEHIND EACH FERN
CAUSE ITS ME THEY WANT TO TURN
THE GOOD OL BOYS AND JOCKS
WHO BELITTLE YOU WHEN YOU TALK
THEY LEARN CONSENT REAL QUICK
WHEN A MANS STARING AT THEIR DICK
THE HOT TUB WE’RE ALL SITTING IN
DO THEY KNOW I PITY THEM?
WHEN I SAY SALVE CITIZEN?

QUARANTINE
KEEP QUIET BUT KNOW IN YOUR SOUL
ANYWHERE YOU WALK IS LAND YOU STOLE
ALL OF THE DECAY YOUVE SEEN
TRANSACTIONS WITHOUT QUARANTINE
CRITICIZE APARTHIED OVERSEAS
YOUR NEIGHBORS LIVING ON THEIR KNEES
ALL OF THEIR SYMPTOMS THEY BLEED
IN THE KINGDOMS OF DISEASE
THE EUROPEAN PLAGUE
THAT CAME ACROSS THE WAVES

FAILURETOWN
A QUIET LIFE AFTER THE WARS
TIME TO ENTER THE FOLKLORE
WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT IN STORE?
EXCEPT TO WHIP A DYING HORSE
MY PALMS START TO MELT
WHERE I GRABBED THE BURNING GELT
IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN WITH
THE CARDS I HELD
WAS TO LOSE EVERY HAND I WAS DEALT
YOU WILL LOSE AND CARRY ON
EMBRACE THE PLACE WHERE YOU WENT WRONG
SETTLE DONW IN FAILURETOWN
EVERYTHING HAS COME AND GONE
ROOTS SHOW THROUGH THE BLONDE
LIGHT A CANDLE UNDERGROUND
YOUR TEARS WILL SOON DRY
SHOOT THE MOON OUT OF THE SKY
LOOKS LIKE YOURE STILL AROUND

WOODS OF JUSTICE
THERE IS A SHOWDOWN IN THE AIR
A RUSTLING IN THE TREES
IT’S THE SMELL OF DESPAIR
ON THE ANXIOUS BREEZE
THE KIDS ARE ALL PUTTING
ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES
HID THE CHAINS THEY BROUGHT
AND STASHED THE BLUDGEONS
IN THE PARKING LOT
OUTSIDE THE DUNGEONS
FOOLED INTO BEING INDIVIDUALS
SINCE THEY WERE BORN
NOW THEY HAVE A COMMON RITUAL...
...ARMING THEMSELVES
...TAKING YOUR WEALTH
...TOGETHER FACE THE COMING STORM
BUT IM TOO OLD TO SWITCH
SO I WILL PERISH WITH THE RICH
TURN IT ALL UPSIDE DOWN
SHAKE YOUR WAGES FROM THE CROWN
ERECT A GUILLOTINE IN EVERY TOWN
