- FUNERAL DINER/let me get a few practice stabs
Finished.
Then we were all poisoned.
The morning arrives and I'm numb.
Through the fields sheeted in ice.
You'll find me, we'll never have a home again.
And they'll never find me again.
So embrace this, it's what's left.
But I'm still here, and I can still help you.
Though nothing can make this right.
Because words fall short like my breath.
And your faith in me,
So I'll finish this myself and tell you,
Every word I ever said I meant.
- FUNERAL DINER/wearing thin
With your "burnt to the ground" and breaking halos.
It's been said once and a hundred times before so say it again.
More posturing and masks.
Thinly veiled metaphors about "angels" can't hide your contempt.
I'm not fooled and if you think about it for more than a minute, it's not okay.
Your hatred as an option to be made to be sold to be consumed to be absorbed like the paint-as-blood.
On every cover of every sad little boy.
So just give up and fade away.
- FUNERAL DINER/city of webs
Welcome home, this is the last stop before a bunk bed enclosed in gray.
The last great façade.
Welcome home again.
In a scheme to point the finger.
Here's my trust, keep it well.
Paper clipped to a forgery is where you'll find it.
Welcome home again.
Speak in lost words.
Just say something.
Tell me anything.
Point that finger so twisted like mine.
As if words could change the discarded time and let me feel.
It's so hard to be the judge, save yourself, surely I can't.
- FUNERAL DINER/chameleon (nexus six cover)
Burning, empty, misplaced feeling.
Die.
The pain stings so acutely that I can't see
Your violence against violence,
Violence against violence,
Violence against violence,
Has never solved anything for you.
I thought that I would be fine.
But now I know it's all gone.
Your blade thrusts out and cuts me deep.
I can't even recognize myself in your eyes.
No one gets in because the abuse is mine.
No one gets in safe inside.
