.. Children... CHILDREN.... Don't Cry.. Don't Shake.. And don't bother running... Because the worst is already upon us.. HELL... ON... EARTH...
But don't be afraid, children... Rejoice in this simple thought..
Though the flames may tear down our cities.. our faith.. our spirit..
With that same fire comes light and with light THE TRUTH...
Tonight, as we watch our buildings burn, don't show remorse..
Hold thy neighbor... Stay close to the light!.. and atonement will COME!...
For now, I ask you...
look into the sea of honest faces and tell me children...
Which one scares you the most?...
Is it me?...

Gray leaves
Cut through the stars.
Save me.
I don’t care who you are,
Don’t let it hit me again.
Don’t let it hit me again.
Oh my poor old soul,
Shake this skin and bone.
I don’t wanna die,
But She’s been calling me home.
Sayin’, “Come on.”
The boys think I’m losing my mind,
I think we’re losing control.
You say you want the truth,
But Baby you’re too scared of the toll.
22 years of my life
Summed up in a phone.
And Now I’m looking at the state of the world
Singin’, “oh my lord.”
Then it hits me again.
Soon,
Soon you’ll know.
Just how the man tries to play you.
Devil use your hair for a bow.
Baby,
What would you do
for a mountain of gold?
Some people kill for a pebble,
I’d bleed you for the dust on the floor.

Wolf

There’s a wolf in my bed
A wolf in my bed
And she’s a right-brain eater
The Killer of Death
Who’s in my head?
I want to arrest them
I can hear em breathing
Like my ear’s on their chest, Man
But I can’t read the lines
Between your canvas
You care less
It slips away
From me and my crew
Everybody’s sane till you tie up their shoes
One too many trips
Got you tying a noose
Sick of all the color dripping down from the roof
I’m seeing red
Oh father protect them
I can’t stop the screaming
Now they got me in chains, Man
And I just need
A moment to pick up the pieces
Oh why do I resist?

Something to Chase

Kill,
I wanna kill.
I wanna bleed,
I wanna steal.
I want it all.
Oh Gimme Gimme, all your time.
Gimme, Gimme Love.
This ain’t enough,
This ain’t enough.
It’s not enough.
Oh I was thinking I could hold
Your cigarette.
My mind is bending round
The fact that I don’t got it yet.
That little devil
In my head said “rip that skin right off her face”
Oh man...
I want it.
I need it.
You gonna feed me?
You’re gonna feed me.
They keep the lights too
Low in my cage.
The color’s fading in and out
With the days.
I sit inside until they rip me away.
I’m just a game,
I’m just a - just a -
Oh I need air.
I can’t breath, babe.
You gotta help me.
//
Is this as loud as we go?
If you can hear me in the back,
Start singin’ the song.
You know,
I’ve been waiting
Too damn long.
Babe I wanna come home.
I can’t bare to be alone.
I just wanna play.
Throw me a bone.
Give me something to chase.
yea.

“I wanna hit that shit”
Do you believe me?
Just another cold season
You’re not my Jesus
I could give you four reasons
But you don’t need em
Like I’m fool' enough to give 'em away
“Good Boy sit”
“If you allow me”
Ima burn my piece
That OG Sour
I would kill myself
Before I let some
Other scum-fucker take my place.
I want it
Like a stone cold kick in the face
You are all I have
I don’t want nobody else
Come Back in my bed
I can’t explain it
But your stuck in my head
I want it
I want it
Like a stone cold kick in the face
You are all I have
I don’t want nobody else

Toothache

Give your eyes to me.
They’re all that I need
To get me to sleep.
Bleeding from my teeth,
I just wanna drink,
To drown in my dreams.
I can’t help myself.
I don’t wanna love you
‘Less you're worse than well.
Lost in the gray of my cell.
I’d give you the world
If you could pull me from hell.
Say yes, my darling.
I just wanna be saved.
Say yes, my darling.
I’m just a dog in a cage.
Hollowed, yellow, and red.
My jaw is weak
And I’ve got holes in my head.
When I find my death,
A pale blue sky
Is all I need in the end.
(I’ve got Holes in my head)

I got a soul,
Soul’s gotta temper.
My friend’s got some smoke,
Smoke’s gotta flavor.
And I’m losing my mind,
See it in color.
I can’t deny
The Green, Yellow Sky
Floating above her.
No I can’t define.
I can’t deny -
And I opened that sky,
Broke up my mind.
Feeling it bending and bending
Around
Blue-golden eyes
Smoother than rye.
And so here am I,
Killing my time,
Dreaming of one of those terrible nights
Where love got me drunk.
Soaked in my blood.
I don’t need my soul.

Gimme that Cigarette, man.
Bad for my health,
But I love how it feels.
Oh I could use your help,
Help me shelter all my people
from the turn of the wheel.
And I’m spinning in a fugue state,
But the lights don’t move too fast.
Snap ya fingers and the sky turns purple
Like the lord started hitting the bag.
Now say it again,
“Woah.”
I’ll say it again,
“Woah.”
“Ooo let the liquor sit,
Let the liquor sit.”
When you’re feelin’ way down
Take another sip.
Spill some blood,
Sell your politics.
They don’t hear your voice
When you borrow it.
Baby, who do you think you’re foolin’?
I know you.
But how could you use me, Lady?
Baby?
