We let the mother lead us from the garden The look of death in her eye All life was over right before it started We never we made it alive I got a monkey and growing bigger It's weighing down my back All that I wanted was to paint a picture The canvas is black In static tongue we hold no lie In static tongue we hold no lie I wanna fall into your grand illusion Love how you made your bed We're gonna take it to the higher power Figure without a head A single system built with double standards We teach the blind to see By overwhelming them with contradiction Until they seise to breath In static tongue we hold no lie In static tongue we hold no lie The spit from your mouth is like cyanide In static tongue we hold no lie

Some like to fly real high You stay down low Your skins turned inside out And all life's a joke Their great accomplishments devour time and space While you're so bohemian and fashionably late Vultures in dark suits waiting patiently I can't shake these ghosts of Bedlam They're always on the go And you like to wait cause there ain't no place to run in this Occupied state Facing the pendulum, their time wearing thin While you hold the key to life beneath your blackened grin The piper plays his song so beautifully I can't shake these ghosts of Bedlam The Devil smiles as if you want his life of sin Those vultures only want to let you in I can't shake these ghosts of Bedlam

Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog Peace brought back, bought back Relaxed be nyet brought back Did you dry her out Wind her out like jerky? To me she’s healed to attack Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog Children nailed to the cross Pain does not look our hell Certainly is not a spell Sweet waste, oh well Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog Winds quiet in the night Her body just blows messiah Sickening sweet sight from the left to the right Is all right does not please my appetite Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog

Crooked lines when I try to get through to you Crooked lines when I fight over the air with you Learn to live in a 21st century zoo Where crooked lines are the only thing in common with you Through the eyes of a dead end looser On a trip from another time I search for life in a cold reaction How can I walk on all of these crooked, all of these crooked lines Crooked lines on an endless journey to nowhere Sometimes the weight of the world becomes too much to bare Try to run, only just to trip over you There's crooked lines in everything you say and do Who am I but a dead end loser In my place on the firing line Take my life in the latest fashion Try to walk on all of your crooked lines

Wicked World 02:57
Look out my window, there’s nobody alive now They’ve been led to the place beyond the Purgatory walls They’re painted up with mud Imitating life Call on ye liquid savior Show me the light I watch this wicked world outside Only hell will survive Here’s to your fellow man covered in crimson sand He’s burning bodies just to keep the faith alive He’s painted up with mud Covered with flies Shower the dove with ashes Bring it to life I watch this wicked world outside Only hell will survive

Social Beast 02:02
You live life like a time bomb They love to watch explode The social beast you rely on Is reaching overload He gonna, He gonna, He gonna BLOW YOUR MIND! Come on and drink the kool-aid Just like a strychnine You're just another no name How can you be so blind He gonna, He gonna, He gonna BLOW YOUR MIND!

We bow our heads to the broken Those who deceive and deny Two headed clowns of devotion We trust in you with our lives We stand without purpose, for the benediction So undeniably nervous from the medication We only want to find our way home You tried to challenge the devil With your hypnotic device While all your misguided children Are left to choke on the dice We stand without purpose, for the benediction So undeniably nervous from the medication We only want to find our way home
