Please beware of the symptoms
Before hope's lost
Sleep deprivation
So numb but sensitive
In waves of anger
Fall tears for years
Lost hope, self-loathing
Swallow exit pills
Who is left to blame?
I look around and it's fate
The more I run away
The further from ever escaping
I think that I’m recovering
So I smile until
I can’t forget remembering
Hence exit pills
I’m trying to stop and she keeps me on top
And I’m fine until
She smiles and she knows that she’s the exit pill
Father please prescribe
Treatment for these wounds
Caused by your sequel
and I swallow exit pills
Who is left to blame?
I look around and it's fate
The more I run away
The further from ever escaping.

The stars that guide the way for me she takes
And places them strategically in space
Although I’m well aware of what she does
The stars I follow deep within her web
And I’m caught
The web she wove won’t let me go away
And I don’t, no I don’t
Know why I’m always back to see her place
But I feel and I do believe
That the stars are all right
You won’t like what this means
The stars are taunting me
You won’t like what this means
Maybe I have to be
With her, or not?
I start to think when you’ve left and gone
And I stop, and turn back to the stars
But they’ve changed, they’ve changed their minds
While all along I’ve blamed it all on fate
I was the only one to place the blame
Cuz what I noticed when you went away
Was the stars that led me from you were all fake
And I thought the world had given me no choice
And I thought I was a man but I’m a boy.

Bomb The Bridges
05:07

So we’ve lost our minds
We’ve danced without your music to another time
And you think that you’ve declined
The containment of hatred
Well I feel that you’ve despised
I see there’s judgment in your eyes
Through all your talk of peace
I find war
If we bomb the bridges before we die
We’ll never know
If that birdie they gave was a peace sign
If we build up walls until the sky
We’ll never know
And he’ll still kiss boys and make them cry
So I’ve lost my mind
I’ve blamed you all for music of a sinful type
'Cause I thought that I’d declined
The containment of hatred
But I know that I’ve despised
For you there is judgment in my eyes
Through all my talk of peace
I start war
If we bomb the bridges before we die
We’ll never know
If that birdie they gave was a peace sign
If we build up walls until the sky
We’ll never know
And he’ll still kiss boys and make them cry

One Drop

One just one, one drop's enough
And chase him until he’s pale like us
He killed the pigs and ran away
Add three years or four to this man’s stay
A drop of blood to separate
A drop is just enough to taint
A drop to make her yours but mine
To ravish and give you the fine
For what I’ve paid has not been done
Back to work and sing your songs
Alone with the dirty one
no fear her husband's gone
Even if he shows up
sincerely so what
The law it makes you subhuman
Makes my son not my son
The future is not my concern
This status I’ve earned

We Are Them, They Are Us
04:58

You’re alone again
just with him
Your best friend
but enemy
He says you might as well
never try
to fix it up
'cuz it will all just fail
Again
Again and again
But let’s believe that it will end
Let us kill the voice instead of you or me
But no one hears silent pleas
And as we take it all in our hands
The voices come
they return to win
Again
Again and again
I don’t believe that this will end
The voices are in command of me or you
Our puppet strings are pulled to form a noose
and just before you signed off
you came upon a hidden vat of love
They caught you with a net strung out of love
We are them and they are us
If we kill these voices
we can’t return this love
their love

A Way Out
05:55
|

I think my weakness has taken your wind again
You have been blown out while we stand within here
Walls that now chamber and protect your sacred sin
I hope they trap you and never give in to
All your reasons, you think of ways to take my home
I wallow in sadness, you seek me alone here
I needed a way out, you offered a ride, too
You sounded noble, one smirk and I knew
If everything you do is of God and his plan
Why would he tear us apart leaving wolves in command
I’ve been searching for lover’s gate
A searching full of anger and selfish rage
While I wander fields full of my own hate
I found you dressed in lamb smiling, greed on your face
Blow wolf, blow it down
You can have it house or home
Don’t blame, don’t claim, act like these are acts of fame
All for God, nothing of shame
Tell me that you dedicate
Come in, please come in, take our baggage, take our things
All for me, no, all for you, always wanted now it's true
Take, take, it’s all yours, this little piggy is down on all fours
My daddy is going to stretch you thin
You might as well be the milk man
I’ll tell papa you’re the man
WASPy selfish helping man
All these people losing their minds
And you’re standing on an open gold mine
While you’re dancing please take your time
Just remember that this is all mine

spark that screams Vancouver, British Columbia
"I have listened to your songs melt into potent works of art. On stage, you exist in this world of precise love, fear, sex, passion, wisdom. The energy passing between you is forcefully intoxicating. You seduce the entire audience; whether first-time lover, or old friend, we are all secretly making love to each one of you. This is how music feels. It has never stopped getting better." - 08/2004 ... more
