You lied to yourself when you said that you were
On a wagon that would keep you clean
It didn't last so long
Three years all gone
When you went back to where it all went wrong
He was on a bender, our chronic offender
He got in his car, didn't get too far
When he lost control
What little he had
They found him asleep with his face on the airbag
He did his time, in and out
He shined a light under the shadow of self-doubt
He got fooled once, got fooled twice
O how reckless the hunger to Have is
You lied to yourself when you said that you were
On a wagon that would keep you clean
It didn't take too long
Three months or less
When you went back to the land of excess
You went back to California.

Static

Sometimes in my head I hear nothing but static
It's formless in the blackness of a crevice in my mind
Ask me a question and I'll answer but soon forget
I would tell you what I'm thinking, but I'd say I never have.
Sometimes in my mind there's nothing but white noise
with no pattern or rhyme or rhythm to be found
If I talk about one thing for too long I'll draw a blank
If I ponder where I was, I'll never come back
There's a demon and it's sapping out my thoughts
When I look it in the eye it fades into the void it leaves behind
And the void is simple yet so complex
And the void says nothing but I can hear it all the time.
Staring into empty space
Ruminations all erased
Train of thought is off the rails
In my mind I hear just
Static and fears (I hear)
Static and fears (I fear)
Reverie of daydreaming
I can't hear my thoughts
until they're screaming
It's never caused a problem until it has
I've never stopped to consider where I am
I'm holding the reigns no matter where this horse is going;
In a ditch, or the sky, or the bottom of the ocean!
Staring into empty space
Ruminations all erased
Train of thought is off the rails
In my mind I hear just
Static and fears (I hear)
Static and fears (I fear)
Reverie of daydreaming
I can't hear my thoughts
until they're screaming.

RED STAR!
Life on Mars, from the Earth
Is nothing but a star (It's a planet you fucking idiot)
An entire sky apart
They don't even know who we are
They sent us first, to be a sacrifice
Build structures for people with deeper pockets
and thicker wallets, the slutty crust
I'll analyze the dirt, then die under the rust
When I made a loop around the Floating Fire
I heard a voice that came from someplace Higher
It said "You're all alone,"
"You're all alone until the day your die"
The crew is wondering to where I've gone
I'm in the closet with a loaded gun
The voice said "Kill them all!"
"KILL THEM ALL AND SAVE A BULLET FOR YOURSELF."

Summer War

By now I've come to know
There is no victory in turmoil
Every argument's lost
Like bullets from empty guns
By now I've come to know
Every Winter makes my blood boil
And the Summer is wrong,
The Summer feels so cold
By now I've come to know
Winter peace,
Summer War!
"We have witnessed this morning the distant view of a brief full battle of Pearl Harbor."
This one goes out to my brothers
Whose own houses feel like they're
Drenched in war
Shells go off from the North and South
Tough love, taste of blood in your mouth
It's getting bad
He's going nuclear
Destruction mutual
Se puso mal
Volviendo nuclear
Destrucción mutua
(By now I've come to know)
Winter peace,
Summer War!
(By now I've come to know)
Winter peace,
Summer War!
(By now I've come to know)
Winter peace,
Summer War.
I said it's not fair, I'm older now but
You still feel the need
To exert your will
You're gonna learn I'm not a blank slate
You're gonna learn the way your blood tastes!
(By now I've come to know)
Winter peace,
Summer War!
(By now I've come to know)
Winter peace,
Summer War!
(By now I've come to know)
Winter peace,
Summer War.
(By now I've come to know)
(By now I've come to know)
