Adorably Sober

Faced with the emptiness
I can't complain
I have studied the pattern
I am the same
Just a glass ear, metal finger
And a stone brain
Repeat the pattern
Sustain
Glass ears, they don't hear
Anything that you say
Metal fingers just drop
Stoned brain like a rock
Glass ears, metal fingers
And a stone brain
Repeat the pattern
Sustain
Adorably sober
Can't believe that I said that to her
She'd like to breed kind things
But my mind clings tight to self-defeating prayers

I don't know what you want me to be
I'll fold in on my self infinitely
I'll become the gum beneath your shoe
I'll be the plaster holding together this broken down room
Now I'm feeling some envy again
It's for the walls that get to watch the way the wind might bend
Now I think I've got something to say
But I'm scared as shit that I might slip and say some stupid thing
Let me roam around in your den
Let the roaring of your eyes be all that must be said
Your fangs and your claws threaten to tear at my chest
But the scars from your strikes they won't show up on my flesh
Now I'm playing just like a kid again
In this roaring labyrinth of liberation
Now I know that I have something to say
But I'm scared as shit that I might slip and say some stupid thing
Cosmic Charlie, hey you
I'd ask you how you're doing, but I'm scared you'd ask me too
Then I might be forced to explain
The patterns in my head, they make me feel like I'm insane

Charlie
You furry little monk
You shirk the work, you shirk the fun
And we're all dying
This you know
That's why your smile fades
Into moaning fury haze
Attack your own home, that's all you know
Don't talk, don't move
Don't make a sound
Don't you know this swirling silence
Brings your soul to ground?
Charlie
One day all your moans
Will take shape as tone
And hit our frequency
That stare
Will morph from blank anger
Into something much stranger
A loving stare
Don't talk, don't move
Don't make a sound
Don't you know this swirling silence
Brings your soul to ground?

We know of a sleepy fire
That rests all night in quiet
But flame won't be restrained
The wick is set to detonate
Each night we beg to detonate
First it awakens us
With warm embracing touch
But when pull comes to crescendo
The flame, snubbed out, retreats to cold
Says we move too slow
Oh you, anthropomorphic flame
When will you give burns we've come to crave?
We're striking flint 'til fingers bleed
You've shown us warmth, now never leave
We won't stop 'til fingers bleed
We want to see the flames burn free
We won't stop, all our fingers are bleeding
Don't you see it dripping from the ceiling?
Each night we beg to detonate

Colors

I bleed green, as you see
Though I know this mushy green, it isn't your favorite thing
Yeah, I know you're much more keen to a rosy color scheme
I can't help this green blood
Though I can try to boil away lighter pigments
Try to spin the color wheel into your direction
Then I'll be red, instead
The bloody hues, the fleshy tunes dancing all around my head
I don't care if I ever see a green again
This blue hue is one of two
That'll come together and make me who I am
Complete syllabic structure and give meaning to this jam
And yellow, can't tell though
The bright, it'll back my hand
Mix it with cyan and it makes me who I am
It's been said, red means dead
But it'll just mean sorrow 'cause I can't change what you need by tomorrow
Everything I am, colors drained as an upturned bottle
Now all that I see
Are undead roses around me
And all that they seek
Is the blood that gives the color to your cheek

I know it's easy
But I'm bored
I'm tired of walking through all these retail chain stores
I know it's easy
But I'm bored
I can't see the value in convenience anymore
I know it's true
But I'm bored
And all this thinking, it's left my brain sore
I know it's true
But I'm bored
I can't chase down these visions anymore
I know it's easy
But you gotta understand
I can't search for the truth in this retail litter land
I know it's true
But can't you see?
The truth of the matter, it's always depressing

Wavy Grey

I never thought I'd see you here today
But that shows how much I know, and how much you have to say
We've come to greet this madness with a smile
When I ask you how much longer, you say just a little while
Until the waves, they start to settle down
And the riptide, it ceases to toss me around
Succumb to current's carry, that is what you say
Let yourself wash ashore, enjoy the warmth
Before it's all another wavy grey day
