Guilty All The Time
03:59

My house exploded yesterday
And left me in a pile of ash
It should have come as a surprise
But nothing's shocking now I guess
You shouldn't count this as a victory
There's nothing here to be won
I watched it all with my eyes closed
I don't know why we all went numb
I can't sleep anymore
My head hurts and my body is sore
This hollow heart is my life
I feel every second passing by
I feel guilty all the time
For things I have and haven't done
Tired of spending my whole life
In the service of someone

Thumbsucker

Thumbsucker keep your head on a swivel cause you're starting to wiggle and wobble away from the edge
Thumbsucker are you getting to close, are you starting to choke, either one of you or maybe both
I know those telltale signs of holding on so tightly that you squeeze
The final glimmer of the light that used to bring you to your knees
Please tell me it's just pale elaborate corpse-like makeup
If it's not I don't think I can take it
Something's about to begin, and it's something that I think that I don't want a part in
I can't stand to see your face without its light
Thumbsucker are you starting to wake up are you more than a waste of the air that you're trying to breathe
Thumbsucker are you starting to wither are you starting to quiver and slither down into your seat
I know those telltale signs of holding on so tightly that you squeeze
The final glimmer of the light that used to bring you to your knees
Please tell me it's just pale elaborate corpse-like makeup
If it's not I don't think I can take it
Something's about to begin, and it's something that I think that I don't want a part in
I can't stand to see your face without its light

Wet Blanket

Ashtray full of dreams
Standing in the cheap seats the crowd screams
Spend my money on Mister Clean
Mister Clean
If you wake up feeling dead, are you even waking up at all
Wet blanket in my bed with the smell that makes your stomach crawl
From the left to the right to the center to the side
You ruin everything
I have a week of sleepless nights
You ruin everything
Paranoid voices in my head
Don't take risks don't end up dead
That's why I always wet the bed
Wet the bed
Eyes shaking like a fish on land
He reaches for the coffee in his cup
Wet blanket by your hand
You better wake somebody up
Everything to me is death
Cause your own suffering
That's why my blanket's always wet
Cause your own suffering
He beats his fist against the post
But still he swears to see the ghost
From the left to the right to the center to the side
It's neverending

Be The Rat
03:45
|
|
||
|
If I had a voice like yours I'd do nothing but sing
Not waste it all on useless words that carry no meaning
And if I had my father's heart I'd never tell a lie
Cause men like him know who they are and they will never die
And I can't keep on giving of myself
And I wish I was someone somewhere else
And I can't stop my body from this shaking
I wish I could say I wanna be the rat
I wanna be the rat
Let me lay inside your pocket live within your grasp
Let me drink from gentle words and feast on broken glass
I have nothing I can give my well has all run dry
You give me all that I need a reason I should try
And I can't keep on giving of myself
And I wish I was someone somewhere else
And I can't stop my body from this shaking
I wish I could say I wanna be the rat
I wanna be the rat

Law Song

All he's got is all he's ever given
All she gave is all he's ever taken
It takes two to make it right but I'm starting to doubt he's gonna make it through the night
There's a time to dance and a time to fight but what time is it now?
I'm not asking for a miracle
I'm just asking for your time
Please stop living on a mountain
I'll make Stitch write the last line
I can try to be a bigger person
I can lie and say that it was worth it
It takes two to make it right but I'm starting to doubt he's gonna make it through the night
There's a time to dance and a time to fight but what time is it now?
I'm not asking for a miracle
I'm just asking for your time
Please stop living on a mountain
I'll make Stitch write the last line
How can I lie and say that you don't matter to me
How could I try and say that you don't mean anything

Shebang Thang

One life one kiss I want to be a prince
Some skin some bone I don't like these shifty undertones
One body one soul not like a lifeless body roll
You answered I rang everybody do the shebang thang
Well every time I try to breathe I just suck on my motherfucking teeth
My hands are numb my eyes are bloodshot I can feel my insides start to rot
I'm so sick sick sick that I can't cope I feel it drip drip dripping down my throat
It's gonna come back up if I don't stop
It's gonna come back up if I don't stop
Yes I know, yes I know that I'm a frog
But I wasn't always a frog
Can you see, can you see
Can you see past a screen that's green?
I know one thing that could make, make me a king

Splitter

These lines move up and down for someone but not me
And color splits the seams just enough just to show
What's hidden in the shade I can't say I can't guess
A tree hidden in the day waiting at rest
What's hidden in the shade cannot express
Anything I've learned today
That she is human after all but these lines can make it hard to know
A gentle upward swing and fall just enough just to show
What's hidden in the shade I can't say I can't guess
A tree hidden in the day waiting at rest
What's hidden in the shade cannot express
Anything I've learned today
Disgusted with myself I can't relate I can't believe what's happening
Backhand forehand every man an island till he meets the ocean
Split me open you're just like me

Makeup

A girl is standing smiling but obviously lost in thought
Her eyes are like hydrangeas or dew-kissed forget-me-nots
I asked her for her name, and I gave her mine
I asked her what was wrong, she lied and said that she was fine
I'm begging you to take off your social makeup
If you don't I don't think I could take it
Something's about to begin and it's something that I don't think that you want a part in
I can't stand to see a fake smile on your face
She's covering her feelings with makeup so they do not show
She wants to tear her face off, the telltale heart tells me so
We were the only ones left and she became still
If I don't show a smile, no one else will
I'm begging you to take off your social makeup
If you don't I don't think I could take it
Something's about to begin and it's something that I don't think that you want a part in
I can't stand to see a fake smile on your face

Flowerpot Records recommends:
I Was Drunk At This Show
by Graves
from the same show as the Warning Shot! recordings, and so far as i can tell this was the only time they performed live.
go to album
Eternally a favorite album. A band that knocks it out of the park every time. Wild songwriting that comes across as a combination of In Rainbows-era Radiohead and Freak Out! era Zappa.
