Diary of a Madman
03:08

Deep in a hole of despair
I can’t go home, don’t know where
Losing my soul, I declare
No one ever told me about this part of my life
No one ever showed me how to beat it, but I might
Don’t ask me to impress you. Don’t tell me to hold on
Otherwise, you’re gonna lose me; otherwise, I will be gone
Life isn’t fair they told me
Raised me wrong but I don’t care
I have been but I will never
Never be like them again.
I’ve looked back
I’ve looked beyond
Thoughts I’ve had
Were there and gone.
Lost these thoughts
Gone deeper still
To find out
I want to kill
Life…
A bitter irony
Hope…
Is just imaginary
Look deeper
See farther
No one else is ever gonna bother
Apathy in motion
No one cares about you anyway
No one ever showed me how
To face the world alone
No one ever helped me out
No one really knows
I’ve traveled all around the world
Years and years I’ve roamed
I cannot find a single place
I’d like to call my home.

Indignant
03:59
|

Sure, Jimmy died from drink and drugs
I hardly think you’d do the same
And while you fight to break the cycle
You’re getting high off passing the blame
If ignorance is bliss
You’ve found your way to ecstasy
And while you’re reeling in your happiness
You turn your ignorance on me.
Hey man, what the fuck? I thought we were friends.
You say the past meant nothing to you
Yeh, it didn’t mean shit
And the truths that I’ve passed on to you
Reveal my ignorance.
You say you turn the other cheek
While your waving finger passes blame
I’ve moved on from this point
I wish that you could fucking do the same.
Hey man, what the fuck? I thought we were friends.
You say that John and Yoko’s not
The way you live your life
You say you cast no stones, but
That I have strayed from the light
You tell me to believe in a
Tale of pain and lies.
I say that you’ve lost it,
Yeh, fucker, you’ve lost your mind.
Hey man, what the fuck? I thought we were friends.

Excuses, Excuses
02:50
|
|||
I know that you love me
That's why I'll stay with you
I cry through the night
I scream, but no one hears me
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me I'll come back again...
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me I'll come back again...
You can't control your rage
It's not your fault
I drove you to this.
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me I'll come back again...
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me I'll come back again...
Help me.. Help me.. Help me
Please don't hurt me
I can't take any more
I'm crumbled on the floor...
Help me.. Help me.. Help me
Please don't rape me
I can't take any more
I'm lying naked on the floor...
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me I'll come back again...
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me I'll come back again...
Hit me and I'm down again
No excuse can every mend
The damage that you've done to me
Hit me and I won't come back...

When The Party's Over
04:09
|
|||
You think that you are better than me
Well, I'm telling you, I'm all I can be
You look down with indignity
Your spiral of hypocrisy
Is going down, down, down,down into the abyss and...
I'll see you when the party's over
And your world comes crashing in
Not a sinner and not your savior
I'll lead you into your temptation
High and Mighty, well that's all you can be
And you aim your pointed finger at me
But as divine judgment comes to thee
The horror is all that you see
Instead of one steady light, you see the flickering of flames and...
I'll see you when the party's over
And your world comes crashing in
Not a sinner and not your savior
I'll lead you into your temptation
I'll see you when the party's over
And your world comes crashing in
Not a sinner and not your savior
I'll lead you into your temptation
I'll see you when the party's over
And your world comes crashing in
Not a sinner and not your savior
I'll lead you into...
I'll lead you into your end.

Narrative
03:39
|

So, this is where the story begins
On a path to a collision
On the way to Barcelona
No one told us to remember
Cuz no one knew we'd be together
Never meant to be...
How could we see
We didn't know to use our time
That we wouldn't have forever
That I'd grasp at these memories
The pain is coming back to me
Never meant to be...
How could I see
So, this is how the story ends...
In pain and misery
Oh, somebody help me....

Hypocrisy
03:41
|
|||
You speak to me of the profane
Of unwashed souls
Of blasphemy
But the vengeful, angry god you love
Holds no sway over me
Life is easier in ignorance
But the soul cries out for something more
You strive to fade into oblivion
But now I’m here to settle our score
You speak to me of the profane
Of unwashed souls
Of blasphemy
But the vengeful, angry god you love
Holds no sway over me
The flock holds you to your heritage
To go blindly into death and into war
To fall before a god of their creation
And never see the light beyond the door
Question
Question
Quest and find the truth
Question
Question
The answers wait for you

A Vane Detective
04:39
|
|||
A window pane and we’re looking for a
A point of view and somewhere else to go.
A vane detective searching for a vein
A vane detective looking for a sign.
Another sign of a long lost heartache
We were always left behind
Look again and we’re lost again and
And in the end it’s all in our minds.
The murder weapon gives us pause to think and
And now we’re slipping down to Mexico
A vane detective searching for a vein
A vane detective looking for a sign.
Another sign of a long lost heartache
We were always left behind
Look again and we’re lost again and
And in the end it’s all in our minds.
The vane detective needs a heroin and
The vane detective needs some place to go
The vane detective never dealt with the loss of
Of the one who stepped in front of the gun
The murder weapon gives us pause to think and
And now we’re slipping down to Mexico
A vane detective searching for a vein
A vane detective looking for a sign.
Another sign of a long lost heartache
We were always left behind
Look again and we’re lost again and
And in the end it’s all in our minds.

Major Malfunction
03:53
|
|||
Sitting on the obsidian shores of Patmos
With a vortex and a sonic pen in front of me
As I look upon these revelations
I wonder just how the fuck any of this could possibly be.
There seems to be a major malfunction
No, I am not your fucking savior
You blokes have all misunderstood me
Is this a Master plot against humanity?
I have lived many lives among you
I have tried to right your ship of lies and deceit
I tried to teach you to reach glory
But all you seemed to hear was that there's salvation in me.
There seems to be a major malfunction
No, I am not your fucking savior
You blokes have all misunderstood me
Is this a Master plot against humanity?
You call me Baptist
You call me Christos
You call me Evangelist
You call me Revelator
All I ever told you to call me was Doctor

Devolution
02:09
|
|||
Bluetooth grannies, clutter in my ears
Another cold day in hell with a smoke and a beer
Wind-fallen angels, sludge near the curb
Another day in creation, devolving the world
And no matter what I’ve heard,
What am I doing here?
Leaning Tower of Babel, the end’s always near
The serpent begs forgiveness, we live in fear
Yahweh falls higher, redemption be damned
Another trick of creation, another sleight of hand
And no matter what I’ve had
What am I doing here?
A tree barks in mourning, wisdom dies on deaf ears
Man is his own creation, a blasphemy quite clear
For man made himself in the image of hatred
An image to celebrate, an image to fear
An image to fire, an image to…
And no matter what I’ve done,
What am I doing?
Here?

Revelator

The old town is a-fire tonight
Behold the end to the lies
The old town is a-fire
And the night sky trembles in fright.
Oh, the flock of lemmings rushes
Toward the bittersweet
Blind-faith in messiah
That amounts to blasphemy
The crooked, greedy blessed ones
Speak of darker deeds
But in the end they all find out
That they have been deceived.
The old town is a-fire tonight
Behold the end to the lies
The old town is a-fire
And the night sky trembles in fright.
The God of light and wisdom
Has been demonized by He
The blasphemy of creation
The shepherd to the sheep
And even when the truth is told
The blind all fail to see
That the one they fall to worship
Is breeding tyranny.
The old town is a-fire tonight
Behold the end to the lies
The old town is a-fire
And the night sky trembles in fright.
When judgment comes unto your soul
Will you fail to see?
That truth is everlasting
And you have been deceived
That the world is inside everyone
And only precious few can see
And though man has known the truth before
It ails from atrophy
The old town is a-fire tonight
Behold the end to the lies
The old town is a-fire
And the night sky trembles in fright.
Do you stand in the light?

Vows
03:24
|

You’re not especially deep, and you’re not especially shallow
You’re not especially ignored and you’re not especially hallowed
You’re not especially drunk and you’re not especially sober
You’re not officially in love, but it’s not officially over
Time after time and it’s turning into shit
Another night, another mediocre hit
And in the end of times you will never falter
But are you doing here, standing at the altar
You’re not especially soft and you’re not as hard as a boulder
You’re not especially ugly and you’re not Miss October
You’re not especially devout and you never miss a Sunday
You don’t like it here, but you could never run away
Time after time and it’s turning into shit
Another night, another mediocre hit
And in the end of times you will never falter
But are you doing here, standing at the altar
Time after time and it’s turning into shit
Another night, another mediocre hit
And in the end of times you will never falter
But what the fuck are you doing here, standing at the altar

I Might Be Lost
04:15
|
|||
I look into your eyes
Another night entwined
You were meant for me
The center of my dreams
Time after time
I dream of our goodbyes.
And wake
I sit up straight
And cry
I can't live without your love
The world is not enough
To sustain me
I might be lost
without you
Alone
again
Time after time
I dream of our goodbyes.
And wake
I sit up straight
And cry
I can't live without your love
The world is not enough
To sustain me
I might be lost
without your love
And you're the only one for me
Forever and ever and ever
To eternity
I can't live without your love
The world is not enough
To sustain me
I might be
I can't live without your love
The world is not enough
To sustain me
I might be lost
without you

Gnosis On The Wind
03:21
|
|||
Ego is the head
And the head is the Ego
And Without the Ego
There is no head
John was born to a maid in a cave,
Fire revived once more to live again
He revived the faith of the few,
Leading them to salvation in the earth
He taught the ways of the forbidden lore,
That we are all gods,
Descended upon these shores...
And no one understood a thing that he said
With water he cleansed their heads
And they walked with ignorance right into the son
And for his hard work they rewarded him
With a silver platter, A release from this skin
And immortality
He walks today
As Gnosis on the wind
Ego is the head
And the head is the Ego
And Without Ego
There is no head
And with no head
There's a silver platter waiting
That, my friends is only the beginning...
