"In the Dark"
(words and music by B. Senn)
Laid down on the floor in filth
Let me see your fingers
I don't bite, I'm frozen tight
I'm the one the one who kisses you goodnight
Laid down on the floor in filth
I can hear you sleeping
Short of breath you're so very still
I wonder what you're dreaming
Drowning in an abstract sea
Falling endlessly down
Or a nightmare of you and me
Are you scared of me now?
Way down
In the darkness
I'm the one who has been clawing
In the life of a monster in the dark
Buried deep and scared of you
Burdened by his mighty tooth and jagged claw
Buried deep and scared of you
"Run From the Gun"
(words and music by H. Morris)
I got mad at history
Picked it up and fell in love with everything
Men and pen and paper
Like the wind you let ‘em in now they'll never leave.
Run from the gun don't be afraid
Run from the gun where the dead lay
Run from the gun don't be afraid
Run from the gun...
You were sweet as poison
Dried my mouth took me out and left me glad
You did me no favors
It was dumb and the last one that I ever had
Run from the gun don't be afraid
Run from the gun where the dead lay
Run from the gun don't be afraid
Run from the gun...
It was loaded with the pressure
Too much pressure to be measured
I was holding off the wrong and the right...
I got let down gently
Never even knew the end was on the way
Then I made my peace there
Opened eyes and my surprise it was a waste
Run from the gun don't be afraid
Run from the gun where the dead lay
Run from the gun don't be afraid
Run from the gun...
"Father Figure"
(words and music H. Morris)
When I leave I dream of only fields and trees
And I know that I can always find you there
In the sand, a temporary happy plan
And I've drawn it out so it can wash away
I can't lie, father figure I'm not fine
I don't want to have to hide father figure... I'm not fine.
Made it up of ceilings I could never touch
And I'll never laugh about all this one day
I can't lie, father figure I'm not fine
I don't want to have to hide father figure... I'm not fine.
Father figure... .
I can't lie, father figure I'm not fine
I don't want to have to hide, I don't want to have to hide, father figure... I'm not fine.
"Quiet Kid"
(words and music B. Senn)
Even the smallest dog can bite
In touch with the animal inside
Pissing away pathetic lives
Take them away today I might
You offer me nothing
Nothing is wrong and nothing's right
Do it today I think I might
A gun is an easy way to fight
I'm going to make you kneel and cry
I'll fucking kill everyone in sight
Torture you slow if I have time
So do your schoolwork you'll be fine
Take you away today I might
You offer me nothing
I was the quiet kid
Never could get enough
Of oxygen
Choking on boredom's gun
Had daydreams
Dark as a swollen cut
Would've killed you
But the time ran up
"By Design"
(words and music by H. Morris)
Why hide it's so good in here?
Got extra space on the pillow near.
It's all by design. It's all by design.
Gag on this if you don't stay
Your breath stink from eating all day
It's all by design. It's all by design.
I'd never know it, I could never own it
I know it's all by...
I could never be you, I could never leave you
I know it's all by... design
I could never be you, I could never leave you
I know it's all by... design
"Mob Scene"
(words and music by B. Senn)
Hail hail, God's dead, I'm wet
Soaked in a Roman bath of gold and green
Back back, hard stares, envy
Gotta get clean I got my maker to meet
Down down, hard ground, mob scene
The Proles in the gallery are letting off steam
Back back, handshakes, crooked smiles
Had enough of hangin' round just so you can take what's mine
"Semi-Thought"
(words and music by B. Senn)
I can't hear you when you talk
You're a muted, semi-thought
Going down... down, down, down...
Can't express what can't be bought
Can't express in written thought
Going down... down, down, down...
Far along we've come alone
Throwing sticks will bring you stones
Going down, going
So afraid of all your faults
Just a critic without heart
Going down... down, down, down...
"Giving It All Away"
(words and music by B. Senn)
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
to help me see
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
I'm in a deep sleep dream
You see my eyes are weighted down
I'm tired of the lonely sound
Of the choir's cold control
The hold it's got won't let me go
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
to help me sleep
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
I'm in a deep sleep dream
You see my eyes are weighted down
I'm tired of the lonely sound
Of the choir's cold control
The hold it's got won't let me go
In a dream I once had hope
A sober wish to have control
The weight I held, it felt so light
Now that dream has taken hold
But I'm dead or drunk or doped
A drowning that I thought felt right
So now I wake the feeling's sold
Exchanged for what I do not know
The cost of living while your high
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
"Sugar"
(words and music by H. Morris)
I failed to mention my better half
i'd rather meet you behind the back... sugar
I know, it's time, I keep, I try, I know... sugar
I failed to mention my better half
I'd rather meet you behind the back... sugar
I'll keep my mouth shut, I'll back away
I'm moving slowly in and out of range... sugar
I know, it's time, I keep, I try,
I know, I hate, it binds, the taste, I know... sugar
Wait for me to follow
Stay in your window
Wait for me to follow...
I know, it's time, I keep, I try,
I know, I hate, it binds, the taste, I know... sugar
I failed to mention my better half
I'd rather meet you behind the back... sugar
"Shocked to Realize"
(words and music by H. Morris)
I'd have never known just how bad your screws were loose.
A criminal told,
A criminal told on you.
It all came pouring through,
Making things so beautiful
And then so dark and dull.
And when, It all came rushing in,
Making things so colorful
And then so dark and dull.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you let the shadows win.
I could be the lead,
Noises that'll make you... cringe.
Then, it all came rushing in, the colors were so awful, but so beautiful.
When, it all came pouring in, leaving us so surprised and shocked to realize
We were so surprised and shocked to realize
We were so surprised and shocked to realize
We became alive, exposed on all sides
We were so surprised and shocked to realize
We became alive, exposed on all sides
We were so surprised and shocked to realize...
