Slow Slide

Always hungry always feeding your pain
You ride that slow slide ride that slow slide
Looking for something to cover the stain
You ride that slow slide ride that slow slide
With every sunrise you can plan a new start
And ride the slow slide ride the slow slide
With every sunset you just tear it apart
And ride that slow slide ride that slow slide on down
The ship is sinking and you’re at the stern
You ride that slow slide ride that slow slide
A daily lesson that you never learn
You ride that slow slide ride that slow slide on
Down to that place you so often go
Down to the blackness way down below
Down comes the rain and you can hide from the thunder but the tides rolling in and it’s gonna take you under

Jokes On You

Goddamn Uncle Scam
Got you sipping on that kerosene
Another meth head inbred junky
King of the Hollyweird scene
OOh the things we do
When the jokes on you
Starlet dregs spreading legs
Working that no talent machine
Blackmail found the holy grail
Just front it like she’s squeaky clean
OOh the things we do
When the jokes on you
Kneel down payment time’s coming around
Heavy crown weigh you down till you drown
Looking for the cracks where the light streams in
Counting all your pennies and wages of sin
Shakedown in a blood red evening gown
Another clown headed for a nervous breakdown
Tell me what you going to do
When the jokes on you
Talking heads hiding under beds
Bring that meat to the evening news
Little Bo Peep and her sugar daddy creep
Pointing fingers and singing the blues
OOh the things we do
When the jokes on you

Hail Mary

I used to give a shit
But now I’m done with it
No regrets no concern
Sit back and watch it burn
With your head in the sand
And your balls in your hand
Hail Mary
Monkey see monkey do
Monkey don’t have a clue
Hail Mary
Too proud to compromise
Too dumb to recognize
Galvanized and polarized
Marching to your own demise
With your head in the sand
And your balls in your hand
Hail Mary
Monkey see monkey do
Monkey don’t have a clue
Hail Mary
Just another lost creation
Destined for the evolutionary garbage heap of failed mutation
The final countdowns just begun
Just a few more trips around the sun
This simple fact you can’t deny
The time has come to kiss your ass goodbye

Cynical

It’s starting up
Yeah, it’s raging like a beast in a cage
You can see that freight train coming
It’s unstoppable and burning with rage
Subservient
To the media complex in your head
They provide the divide to the masses
To feed the fire, feed the hate, feed the dread
We’ve become a loaded gun
Quite cynical
Born and bred pushed to the red
Condition critical
Force unrestrained
Power and gain
Condemned to suffer in a world gone insane
It’s waking up
We’ve already got one foot in the grave
A kingdom of ash is worth nothing
When nothing is left to be saved…

Paralyzed

Here you go around again
Calling upon your friend
With whom you will confide
To fill that hole inside
But who are you to pretend
When it’s all the same in the end
Twisted duality
Of this insanity
Always waiting
And contemplating
Can’t put this car in drive
It’s Dominating and suffocating
You’re stuck in the muck
Seems you’re frozen and paralyzed
So what is a fool to do
When the sad truth is the fool is you
Fighting an inner feud
And you cannot be subdued
When there’s nowhere for you to go
Because you’re dragging yourself in tow
It all seems to be in vain
When you can’t avoid the pain

You Found The Sun

I guess I’m out of my head
Hung from a thread
Becoming unglued
You seem to take it in stride
Then it’s buried inside
And this vision is skewed
I see things falling apart
End before they quite start
And sadly, it's true
You don’t seem to have but a care
Throw it all in the air
Without a clue
But you, you found the sun
In an old photograph of the moon
And I, I am the one
Who sees a half empty glass
And the rain couldn’t come too soon
I don’t quite know why
When I’m low I feel high
Does that make sense to you
No, I didn’t think that it would
I wouldn’t think that it should
If I’m black and you’re blue
But you, you found the sun
In an old photograph of the moon
And I, I am the one
Who sees a half empty glass
And the rain couldn’t come too soon
And the rain never comes

Headstrong

They called him a crazy fool hearted man
Who bet it all on a scheme with a losing hand
When things didn’t turn out quite the way he planned
He could see it coming from a mile away
He was more stubborn than a mule on a summer day
He saw that freight train coming and wouldn’t get out the way
Headstrong can’t go wrong
Fighting for this way too long
Take me to where I belong
Headstrong
You see he made up his mind a long time ago
It was all or nothing until the end of the show
He’s going to roll those dice and reap what he sows
He’s got no regrets just lessons learned
There are no victories unless your scars are earned
And no life worth living with no fire to burn
Headstrong can’t go wrong
Fighting for this way too long
Take me to where I belong
Headstrong

The Edge

You can hear the bell toll
While we’re digging that hole
Deeper and deeper and deeper
It’s getting harder to climb
Out from the shadows of your mind
Getting steeper and steeper and steeper
So as another day dies
And darkness claims the bleeding skies
Hope grows weaker and weaker and weaker
And we all soon shall drown
In the emptiness we’ve found
It just gets bleaker and bleaker and bleaker
We keep crawling to the edge
I know, I know we’re going over
So tell me what will become
When we can’t find the sun
And there is nothing beyond the horizon
Forever hiding from fate
In that hole we sit and wait
Where everything eventually dies in
You can hear the bell toll
While we’re digging that hole…

Seeking A Shill

Apocalyptic entertainment TV radio
Get your daily fix with almost every show
Paranoia keeps you on your toes
If you can hear it
You’ll learn to fear it
Fatalistic pessimistic media
Brainwash us all with hypnopedia
Got you lining up for what they’re feeding ya
If you can bear it
They’re here to share it
They’re going to fabricate to stimulate your mind
They will manipulate and placate to your kind
Seeking a shill
Choose between the blue or red pill
Surrender your will
To the circus lights
If it bleeds the story leads
As it feeds the politicorp needs of the media mill
They’re simply seeking a shill
Shameless promoters of biased reality
Celebrating unbridled depravity
Pushing agendas of brazen fallacy
Scandalize it
Then monetize it
Tell them what they need to hear
Make the headlines loud and clear
The messenger will spread the fear
Tell them that they must adhere

DANGER ZONE

Sirens wailing in the dead of night
Sirens command us all to heed
Alarms keep on screaming yet we keep on dreaming
You’re easy to deceive when you’re asleep
Search lights dance inside your head
Soon you can’t hide from the light
The shadows reveal what the light will conceal
You can’t see it when it’s just out of sight
Keep on riding in the danger zone
Very likely you won’t make it home
Keep on riding in the danger zone
Tread there lightly we reap what we have sown
When you feel the rope around your neck
The dogs are out on the loose
We can hide we can run but the hunt has begun
And they’re only going to tighten that noose
When the world is hungry, they will feed us lies
To quell dissention, to mute the cries
Beyond your blindfold the wolves are counting their keep
And slaughtering sheep…
