Come inside,
Come inside,
Come inside,
The Abattoir of Lies.
You say you know a truth.
I’d like to see your why.
You’ll have to show me proof...
or know your lies will die.
Tell me why I should care.
Why I should see you’re right.
Why it makes sense to you...
and how you saw the light.
Tell me why yours is true...
and all the others lies.
The real thing through and through...
and all that that implies.
There’s a place in my head...
where I bring the lies of fools.
I hang them on steelie hooks...
and dismember them with tools.

Better Side
06:57
|
|||
I may never know why
you stand right beside me but
never reach out to me.
The spirit inside of me tries but
still I don't seem to be
someone you want to see fly.
Why...
can't you see?
It's just me.
Can't I come inside
wherewith I’d,
show you my better side,
please?
I may never know how
To stand here before you and
be what you want me to.
I know in time I’ll succeed
but do you take pleasure in
watching me suffer and bleed?
Why...
can’t you see?
It’s just me.
Can’t I come inside
wherewith I’d
show you my better side,
please?
I may never know why
you hide from the children you
claim to have love for.
Why don’t you step up and be?
You skulk like a coward
yet expect us to
drop to our knees.
Why...
can't you see?
It's just we.
Won’t you show yourself?
End this game?
Have you no sense of shame?
Please!
Now I think I know why
you seem to be missing
despite all the wishing.
Could it be
you’re just not there?
Perhaps you’re a vision and
perhaps I’ve been
grasping at air.
Why...
can’t you see,
it’s just we.
We are just as you made us
for which you forgave us
Nigga please!
At last it’s clear to me now
why you don’t seem to
be there and
seem like you don’t care.
The problem is
you’re just not real.
No matter how we feel
your absence is hard
to conceal.
Why
can't we see,
that we’re free?
Let’s dispense with the burning and
focus on learning what's real.

Are You Listening?
04:22
|
|||
I’ve got things to say to you.
You could never be,
never be,
real to me.
If what they say is true,
why surround yourself
in so much
mystery?
I just can’t count on you.
You don’t seem to be
there when I
need you to.
This talk is overdue.
I can’t wait 'til your
bullshit is
history.
Are you listening now?
Are you here somehow?
I’m breaking away from you.
What I know,
makes me sure,
there’s no,
way for you.
Phantom be gone from me.
You’ve no power,
to shape my
reality.
Shadows recede from me.
As my spirit
breaks free
I now clearly see.
It’s time we end this game.
Go away,
if you’re real,
you’ll be see'in me.
Are you listening now?
Are you here somehow?

Sometimes
04:46
|
|||
I wake inside a dream
and try to see
the thoughts that flee
before me.
But when I raise my gaze
a haze dismays
my eyes betray
I can’t see.
Sometimes I find myself
where I don’t know what to do.
I try to teach myself
to reach for something new.
And if I find it
I will know it to be true.
I seek to find my hands,
to understand,
this no man’s land
around me.
But focus though I may
it’s hard to say
I’ve found a way
to be me.
Sometimes I find myself
where I don’t ‘know what to do.
I try to teach myself
to reach for something new.
And when I find it
I will know it to be true.
Find the horizon,
Where the sea meets the sky.
Find the horizon and you'll
Feel yourself risin'.
Rise to the heavens.
Spread the wings in your mind.
Find the horizon and you'll
feel yourself risin'.
Inside of every mind
a voice defines
the bound’ry lines
we live by.
That voice belongs to you.
You can make it say
what you want it to
if you just try.
Sometimes I find myself
where I don’t ‘know what to do.
I try to teach myself
to reach for something new.
And as I find it
I will know it to be true.
Sometimes I find myself
where I don’t ‘know what to do
I try to teach myself
to reach for something new.
And now I’ve found it
so I ‘ll share this
power with you.

Truth
06:56
|
|||
I can clearly see
what is right in front of me.
I can clearly see
the truth.
But what is true to me
isn’t necessarily
what you would see
as truth.
I can clearly see,
what is right in front of me.
I can clearly see
the truth.
But what is true to me
isn’t necessarily
what you would see
as truth.
I can clearly see,
god won’t cure an amputee,
no matter how you pray.
His son might take a stroll,
on the sea of galilee,
but he can’t make evil go away.
The things you say to me,
they’re complete absurdities,
disproven beyond all doubt.
The shit inside your head,
it’s not reality.
Now run away and pout.
When you say to me,
I must forego the knowledge tree,
I reject your right to say.
When you say to me,
I must respect authority,
I laugh and go my way.
I see your social norms
but they don’t apply to me.
I’m not at all like you.
I like to fiercely own
full responsibility
for everything I do.
I can clearly see,
what is right in front of me.
I can clearly see,
the truth.
But what is true to me,
isn’t necessarily,
What you would see,
as truth.

Never Happen
05:47
|
|||
I sit here in frustration.
I just can't seem to reach you.
I hope for penetration.
To find some way to teach you.
That you don't have to be
what's right for me
and wrong for you.
I do not want to put you through
the kind of things you seem to do.
I sit here in frustration
and I wonder if
it's time to change
my point of view.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
There's nothing I can say,
I guess it's hard to hear me,
that you can't deny another day,
I know you're taught to fear me.
But the facts are strong,
so it can't be long,
'til what you've got to do,
no matter how you feel,
it dawns on you,
and a world that's real,
comes shinin' through.
I sit here in frustration
And I wonder why
I even waste
my time on you.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.
Get over it...
It's never gonna fucking happen.

Oh No
05:49
|
|||
It’s time to realize,
the meaning of our lives.
It comes not from a god
some meaningless facade.
it’s time to realize,
that much to our surprise,
it comes not from beyond,
the facts just don’t correspond.
Oh No!
This can’t be so.
Why would my place in life
have sunk so low?
Oh no!
It cannot be.
That’s not the way the world
appears to me.
Oh No
I just don’t want to know.
It's time for us to see,
the things we wish to be,
no matter how we feel,
our wish can't make them real.
It's time for us to learn.
restore the will to discern,
between that which is real,
and that for which we yearn.
Oh no,
it can't be true
I find a way to
blind eye every clue.
Oh no,
you can't be right
My special friend has brought me to the light.
Oh no,
I just don’t want to know…

So Sad
04:14
|
|||
So sad…
The search for truth can drive you mad.
Then you lose your mind
and leave the world behind.
So sad…
You pissed away the chance you had.
Now your time is done
and this life was the one.
Suddenly it's clear to you
all the things that fear can do.
Even though they thought it true,
your parents lied to you.
Suddenly it’s clear to you
You really shoulda seen right through.
But you turned your back on every clue
and now there’s no hope left for you.
So sad…
the love you waste on a deadbeat dad.
He’ll leave your ass behind,
if you’re not what he had in mind.
So sad…
To call that love is raving mad.
When a father hurts his child,
he should rightly be reviled.
Suddenly it's clear to you,
all the things that fear can do.
And even if they thought it true,
your teachers lied to you.
Suddenly it’s clear to you
all the things that fear can do
and even if they thought it true,
your preachers lied to you.
Suddenly it’s clear to you,
all the things that fear can do,
and even though they act it true,
your culture lies to you.
Suddenly it's clear to you,
But now there's nothing you can do.
You've had your chance to see what’s true,
but now your time is through.

Spit The Bit
04:30
|
|||
They came to me
with saddlery
to fasten round my head.
It looked to me
like domesticity
I looked upon it with dread.
They said it would
make me productive.
A member of the team.
They tried to be
calmly instructive
but my freedom screamed…
Spit the Bit
Spit the Bit
Spit the Bit and Run!
They must believe
that they can get to me
and trick me to their ways.
The web they weave
it don't mean shit to me.
A steaming crock of cliches.
I don't pretend
to know what I don't know
but of one thing I'm sure;
You can’t amend
the fucking ice you sow.
A bitter wind will endure.
Spit the Bit!
Spit the Bit!
Spit the Bit and Run!
I’m runnin’ free
you look to me
just like a passing tre-nd.
Outdated ways
from bygone days
about which you pretend.
Leave me alone.
Your mind is blown
and I’ll not bend to your needs.
I’ve seen the cost.
I know what’s lost.
I know where your wisdom leads.
Spit the bit!
Spit the bit!
Spit the bit and run!
Spit the bit!
Spit the bit!
Fuck this shit I’m done...

Uninfected
03:42
|

Born uninfected.
They never got to me.
They never got inside my head.
They failed to make me see.
Born uninfected
and happy this way.
Barely amused with the
shit that you say.
I try to understand
but it makes no sense to me.
It takes such sleight of hand
to make your facts agree.
I don't know everything
but one things clear to see.
It's better not to cling to such
primitivity.
Born uninfected
they never got to me.
They never got inside my head.
They failed to make me see.
Born uninfected
and happy this way.
Barely amused with the
shit that you say.
Look in the mind of man
and this is what you'll see:
Imagination can
expand to certainty.
And once this parasite takes
hold in your mind,
then what you’ll witness is
stupidity enshrined.
Born uninfected.
They never got to me.
- Uninfected
They never got
inside my head.
They failed to
make me see.
- False claims detected.
Born uninfected
and happy this way.
- Sliced and Dissected.
Barely amused
with the shit
that you say.
- Bullshit rejected.
Born uninfected.
They never got to me.
- Uninfected
They never got
inside my head.
They failed to
make me see.
- False claims detected.
Born uninfected
and happy this way.
- Sliced and Dissected.
Barely amused
with the shit
that you say.
- Bullshit rejected.

Nothing
05:44
|
|||
Well no I can’t go on...
spending my time with you,
hoping you’ll want me to
sing my song.
Say what it means to me,
open your heart and see that
all along,
you’ve been the source of
your own discontent. You must
now be strong.
Listen to what I say
don’t turn and walk away.
Well no I don’t see why...
you don’t see yourself when you
look at your world. You must
open your eyes.
Take a good look at the
things you’ve become. You’ve no
alibi.
I know that you know so you
can’t just plead ignorance.
No disguise....
The people around you just
can’t bring themselves to say
Why must you be
this way
with me?
You are what you are
and you’ll be
what you’ll be.
If you look to yourself
you will
surely see.
That all of your life
you have held
the key.
The key!
Well no I can’t go on...
spending my time with you
hoping you’ll want me to
sing my song.
Say what it means to me
open your heart and see that
all along...
you’ve been the source of
your own discontent you must
Now be strong...
Make you you are inside
nothing you’d want to hide.

Encircled
01:19
|
|||
You believe belief’s a good thing.
I believe that you’ve been sold a lie.
You believe your faith defines you.
I believe it’s faith that blinds your eyes.
Yet when I turn my mind,
to find what makes me blind,
I find it hard to see,
the lies I know encircle me.
You believe your faith will guide you through.
I believe your fears are used against you.
And you’re wrong.
