They're interrupting patience The machines made of faces The sea monsters
 The murdered waves of youth Their instruments disarming The ransom of their longing A military lavender and new They bring with them their treasons The ushers of amnesia 
A century of hands
 Was rendered mute Though they guilted us with plenty I can't think of anyone
 Who has a conscience left to lose They'll sacrifice the nation
 Serve that savage reputation
 The needs of many for the wants of few The billions stand the bombing
 The bondage of the bargaining The band is playing champagne on the flute They're interrupting patience
 The engineers of cadence
 The heavies coming
 From the land of doom
 Hear them through the droning Hostage to their holdings
 There's no faith that they had thought it through

I'm afraid of people They're everywhere I go I can't stand to greet them I'm too scared to get close I See how they treat you They're like cannibals I'm afraid of people I don't want to know I'm afraid of people I know I'm not alone All my friends are strangers And this isn't my home I'm terrified they'll see me For the things that I don't show I'm afraid of people I don't want to know I'm not gonna pretend Like I'm not culpable I know that I can't beat them I know we're on our own I'm afraid of people They're right outside my door They don't think we're humans And I think they're animals The closer that I keep them The further that I go I'm afraid of people I don't want to know

Let's be alone together When we're alone it's better There's got to be some place where we can hide We'll change our names to never They'd never know we'd ever Be alone together till we die So let's be alone together till we die We fall like Rome whenever We're alone together Our kingdoms are just ruins rich in time Let's merge our homes together Then roll like stones down river Let's be alone together till we die Let's be alone together till we die Out in the thick out in the thick of it all Out in the thick out in the thick of it all Don't hold on It's about to drop Let's be alone together We've dug this hole forever They'll never haul us out of it alive That's how it goes I guess When we're alone together Let's be alone together till we die Let's be alone together till we die

Noble Chore 04:38
When at once The hand The mouth The thick saliva The crusty bank Fresh faced So young They're looking at you Grab your silly house coat And pack all of your heat Shy away from strangers That you meet on the street Hang your locks from your door We won't survive This noble chore Bugs that walk Like classical Are stripped from the world As we move Just like humans do By the hand Without thought Flowers too big for the stalk Hang your locks from your door We won't survive This noble chore The ugly strange Their work is done We've made arrangements We'll live in gutter mansions Hang your locks from your door We won't survive This noble chore

When all of the world hated me The armies of symmetry The soldiers of atrophy To each my penance made Each night We dance death's dance and she lets me lead The animals of need Subjected to the speed They do not bother me And the words Given unto them The drivers of the pen The scavengers called men Go light Guided by mother's hand The labor of her skin Her ghost success laid bare When all of the world hated me The ordnance of meat The objects of pedigree To each luxuries grave
6.
When times get harder We'll feast on fodder Or fast until your family's fed We'll feast on fodder When times get harder Lest the dead bury the dead We'll whet the blade We'll train our gaze And fall upon the blackest sheep Then true's our aim That sheep will bay For forgivness and mercy Sha La La La La La La La La La La La Ahhh When times get dire We light them pyres And burn it bright for all to see We'll build them fires With our desires And then we kill it with our dreams We're gonna hang The weak with blame All that pomp and pageantry The ritual games We all must play To see who follows and who leads Sha La La La La La La La La La La La Ahhh Where's the war we orphaned at your door It bites the hand it feeds It hunts in its sleep for more Sha La La La La La La La La La La La Ahhh

Get yourself together Powder your nose up Grab your cash Honey let's go Get yourself together They know Get yourself together Let's go Get yourself together Button your coat up Grab your stash Buddy let's go Get yourself together They know Get yourself together Let's go You know you can't Take it with you It's true So it don't matter What you do Get yourself together Straighten yourself up Grab your keys Come on let's roll Get yourself together They know Get yourself together Let's go

The engines of rot Brought their wounded home From wars they never fought The hads and the have-nots Fed the fires of their furnaces With want This is what happens when you run out of west Remember it once flew In its golden age Its teenage waste perfumed So much of little use For them talking dolls The mirage stands in ruins This is what happens when you run out of west You'll find everyone you love has gone The band no longer plays your song Their language is their silence Your face won't wear what you've become The flowers wilt beneath your thumb Your name's only spoke in tongues This is what happens when you run out of west The witness was watched Once they testified The harsh gaslights called for blood What's left of resistance Brought the brunt end of Their capital across

There's a world outside That we don't belong in The colossus fallen Their chariots litter the streets Their followers famines are feast There's a big star burning up The dust of our decadence The blank inhabitants Their arrogance litters their pleas Their deaths deemed to be obsolete I thought the figures of doubt Had all been figured out I can't trust anything now That's made of sight or sound There's an engine turning up The ghost of irrelevance Bodies of regiments Their agreements written in steam Their results fall in to the sea There's an empire running through The heads of the lesser-thans Regimes that treason wed Their followers subjected to lead The prophets of their suffering I thought the figures of doubt Had all been figured out I can't trust anything now That's made of sight or sound It's all the comforts of a War abroad With the convenience of a War at home Mother of Exiles has Abandoned us The Golden Door Is closed There's a world outside That we don't belong in The titans have fallen In fields of their followed decrees They fell at their followers feet There's a world outside That we don't belong in The monolith's fallen There's a world outside That we don't belong in There's nobody calling There's a world outside That we don't belong in I'm short on longing

Your unwashed lips Your garish boots Ah your Ottoman suits From your family's empire Those honeyed days Oh Mercury waves And we ate parakeet eggs In our perfect attire But I'm tired of the scene And It's tired of me Now we're dressed In last years magazines Syphoning gasoline To keep our cooking fires And I stole you a Bellows book From someone I mistook For a friend for awhile But I'm tired of that scene So why don't we leave To some far off land Where the privilege ends A place to stow skin Where they'll visit When we're old Past the age Of serenades Once the piper's played And we're tossed aside Remember us in our vain youth When we were of use Once the living proof That we tried
