Ride all night with a grip on the gun paint my face go to war with the sun bake my brains in the noonday heat back the fuck up let the boy breathe evil city and money a bad disease greed built the skyline protected it with police now billionaires own the planet and we do not own a thing we rent our little apartments and live inside our machines now the whole worlds watching apathy on the rise and my own mind is similar claustrophobic with lies on a dead planet this ego it weighs a ton and I ride all night No method except for this weaponized style howl like a wild thing sign of my kind that magic respected in inner circles give a fuck what you’ve been thinking with your gentrified mind no secrets to keep secrets to speak I got a serpent on the brainstem sign of my fire live from the city that burned twice ghosts from a dark time howl on the turnpike I hear em laughing in restaurants by the capital thats where executives and politicians meet I seen em linin up in prison cafeterias behind these walls it is still 1853 and in the houses on the hill its all summertime we knew that summer that something just had to give we watched em profit off the rising tides of violence I was thinking bout you on the Leigh Street Bridge and Helicopters all hover over the city now must get expensive keeping everything in place ain't nowhere safe you can put that on my grave you can put that on my canines I keep em busy now I keep it wild live fury by design serpent on the brain stem sign of my fire three a.m. find us tripping down the freeway keep the style killer keep the business in a briefcase

Give me back those hills give me back those open acres trapped in the back of my mind I’d kill for a minute there give me back those dreams those days when the could have beens still floated like origami airplanes riding that summertime heat let me travel to the moon again give me back those dunes those sacred sandy deathtraps in the afternoon track mud through eternity someone get me to a doctor things are not right here must be a breakdown some sorta nightmare everything is gone and you can never go home and you can call it what you want you can drive to the ocean search through the night pledge god your devotion but all things go and it is better that way and though it may seen strange and your heart might break you cannot stay Steal it from me take what you want sell it to me what do you want sell it to me I was thinking last night about the pain of God about the burden of being something so damn famous something everybody wants and probably all your old friends don’t think that you’re around cause all your new acquaintances have got you runnin errands for the bosses downtown and at night when you sleep you dream about dreams you dream about how the path is laid out and what it all means maybe walk through fire maybe walk in the light maybe meet yourself at a fork in the road in the middle of the night but would you know your name would you know your name… Steal it from me take what you want sell it to me what do you want what do you want

Please Don’t Ever Doubt it My Love The Day that You left was a kick in the teeth All quick and Disfiguring Felt like Waking Up in a Strange Room Groping the wall for a light switch you know must be there coming around empty handed to the slow but insistent conclusion Its Too Fucking Early For This and I’m barely here Just give me some light Oh I Need You I Need You I Need to at least find my keys Its too late for my prophetic nonsense too dark to see anything much either way we’re already Knee Deep in violence too late for appeasement or protest or sharpening blades just give me some Light And Don’t Ever Doubt it My Love Please Don’t Ever Doubt it my Love The Day that you left left me out in the streets all shifted and sobering Felt Like Waking Up Its all So Mesmerizing Blind and Baffle My Eyes all the Fire and Drama It went by in an instant and all the wild Phenomena bound to capture my mind

Greed took hold of their days Fear had stolen their eyes they refused to face they refused to name it so in the dark they lost their way bargained away their time they built the law and they called it safe and its safe to call it safe to call it Strike One for the City Taken Down in the Fire and Rage No God no Asylum and All tomorrows are swallowed by a wave The true gravity of tides and erosion all things slide back to the sea wild firestorm of power and illusion short time here ask anybody Greed took hold of their days Fear had stolen their eyes they refused to face they refused to name it so in the dark they lost their way bargained away their time they built the law and they called it safe and its safe to call it safe to call it Strike One for the City Taken Down in the Fire and Rage No God no Asylum and All tomorrows are swallowed by a wave

Sunlight through the barricades casts their shadows to the ground shifting patterns maybe we might all be part of something a sacrifice a ceremony Harder to see the flames are brighter than they used to be and everything we know is swinging upside down lions and tigers eat their tamers on the mezzanines a spectacle a circus fire Like waves from the ocean we’re out on our own these gods and their angels are gone and will not guide you home these darkening visions they crash on my eye like ships in the distance like shadows of craft in the sky Moonlight through the autumn leaves seven circled all around (a ceremony) something ancient breaking through beyond the wall of static a sudden dawn an anamnesia the burning sky will paint a pattern of its manifesting the hum of all your science oscillating round a million hours through the dark of night just tending fires illuminated and all our crowns and the drama of the stars and the satellites the love and terror of my mind and its appetites and all these powerful designs built to shatter my eye Like waves from the ocean we’re out on our ow these gods and their angels are gone and will not guide you home these darkening visions they crash on my eye like ships in the distance like shadows of craft in the sky
