When I tell them I’m done
They will come
and they’ll run to me
Step out of line and they
forfeit the remedy
Of what I’ve been working on hard
and I keep them so long in the dark
And the cattle are lowing
Bemoaning the tragedy
And messengers die on the way to tell families
that half of the crops have turned brown
and the power is all shutting down

Witch Hunt

Sold loads and loads of pigskins to the pigs out back
Didn’t seem to care or notice I guess From a lack of concern
For themselves inside their hearts
Don't have much besides their pride and the money in their pockets
Walked away from that last deal cash in hand
And I strolled down to the river
didn't go as planned
cause a witch
blue and green inside the mist
Knew that I had sold to them
Their own skins
So she put a curse on my head
and she kissed my neck
and I said I didn't like that
but I lied about that
And she said, “You'll speak only to the dead
And you won't have much to say
to your friends no more” and she left in peace
Come back, please
Come back, please
Come back, please
Come back, please
Now that's a problem see
cause friends I've got in wealth
But they're brightly beaming faces speak the best of health
So I can't open up my arms to them
And the dead man's by my side asking
Do you have the time
So I talked to my skull-bound companion about life as the deceased
Who spent a lifetime in the canyon as a priest and he said
“I once came across this girl whose voice it smelled like pearls”
and I said I know her and now I'm sold
So I'm looking, searching, snooping for the witch again
Rounding up a posse gonna find that girl
oh yeah (Hmm-mm)
oh yeah (Hmm-mm)
Listen, I’ve seen terrors, and I’ve survived
So you should know
that you can run but you can't hide
Recruited maggots filthy rotten not alive
and their putrid heads are smiling cause they are my spies
And I’m their friend, their cries so long were empty spent,
They think that I am heaven sent
And whose to say they’re wrong
Angel hear my song
Come back, please
Come back, please
Come back, please
Come back, please
The Salesman’s the Hunter Now
The Salesman’s the Hunter now
The Salesman's the Hunter now
The Salesman's the Hunter now
Don’t be afraid, or do,
I’ve been prepared for you
No type of derring do
Will be enough, the truth’s
I am the follow-through
And you can feel it too
And you can feel it too

Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Okay here’s what’s going down
You’re my jester, I wear the crown
I want no one else around
What I say to you won’t make sound
Outside is nowhere
They call me cruel not just,
Anyways, I just don’t trust them
They all listen, they’re all spies
So please do not be surprised
That I’ve chosen to capitalize
On your status as the despised
No one suspects you
A sheep in wolf’s skin
Whom no one will pin
The blame on
You need a bottle of rum and maybe ten years, to get over something
I’ll go ahead and tell jokes, while I wait, for something scary to happen
If you dig that
Then just sit back
You know that you’re a crass act
Who’s in over his head
Why did the man cry when he ate pie
It was because he was shy--and pie is short for Patricia
I’ll tell you what I’m going to do
This secret I’ll divulge to you
There is a man, and you can’t choose
Who has earned himself a bruising
Tell me, Highness
Have you ever seen
Or ever believed
In kindness?
Shut up, shut up, now
(repeat)
Are you afraid to die-ie? 'Cause I am, I am, too
It’s a deep freeze, a deep freeze
I’ll just do what dad said, and then do what mom said but I still don’t feel free
I try to rebel, but then I catch my own smell and it is rotten to me
"King, help me understand," Well I don’t have a plan, it’s just everyone and me
And then there’s nowhere to hide, everyone is inside, with me
And they say I’m the one to blame, and I feel the same, it's just everyone and me
And they have glasses of stone, and why can’t I just atone for everything that I leak
If you've got a brick in your lung, and nothing can be undone, then you still might being going alone, going alone, going alone
Still might be going alone

Grave-Hands

There was a lady who lost her gloves
and wanted my help but she was in love with me
but I did not love her
She took it hard but she took it quietly
and I still feel so badly
When do you get better? When do you, I don’t know
There was another who lost her brother
and wanted my help but there was no-thing
that I could do, so she walked away upset
The complaints rose, no one was happy
and I became terse and spoke in a snappy
way to the women and men on the news
That’s when a man died in my arms—why?
I don’t know but I don’t feel fine
And that’s the first time I took a life and I don’t know
And then my lover, oh how I loved her
she was a chaste girl with a daughter
with one stroke across her cheek, she was gone
Called me a monster but I said no
but they were listening to someone else’s voice
and I declined to speak on their talk shows
Give it a moment, this will blow over
Someone said that last October
If you would look now things have not improved
I moved away so I could be alone
but then those heroes broke into my home
And they said, “now it’s time to pay,”
I told ‘em, “you’ll get hurt if you don’t go away”
But they stepped up
I pulled off
my white gloves
It didn’t take long till they were in the ground with my love
You wanted vengeance? Well come and take it
my heart’s held up with back braces
If you would look now you are strong and I am weak
You finally have your nemesis in your hand
and you can make a fist and squeeze
so hard choke me out
Before you deliver the final stroke
you ask did I learn or am I just broke?
Now listen here
You don’t know anything, you think you can see me
but I’m thousands of years in the past
I’m made of gas
I’m the big bang
I’m in the past
I’m made of gas
I’m the big bang
I’m in the past
Life-giving man
I’m the big bang
You don’t know anything

I saw you running
So I ran too
I'm hoarse from nothing
I'm winded, 's gonna kill me
But you've been wounded
I heard a shot ring out
I'd take your grief from you
I'm empty inside
So I'll be fine
I hope that you're alright
I wish that you were fine
I hope that you're alright
I'm hoarse from running
So transform me
Into something that would rather have four feet
Well I know that
I'm a different kind
I wish that you were fine
I hope that you're alright
I wish that you were fine
I wish that you were fine
I know you, know you
I know you, know you
I know you, know you
I know you, know you
I know you
and I
know you

Eggs

Caroline who can’t use her legs
‘Told you I’d give you all my eggs
Said that when we were eight years old
You laughed and I felt like solid gold
Thought about that the other day
You were my first crush
Now we don’t talk much
Caroline in the Pumpkin patch
You say they’re all eggs about to hatch
From a dragon who’s painted red
His true colors won’t show until he’s dead
It’s inherently flawed
It allows you to romanticize deceased
While the living rot in Hell
Bum, bum bum, bum bum badabum x2
Caroline you’re a robot now (a robot now)
Got a new body when aliens came down
The Mayor says that you’ve got no soul (you’ve got no soul)
If I may say I think that that’s rather bold (BOLD)
You were a sociopath
long before you traded in your flesh for the next thing
Is it a comfort to you?
When you do something terribly cruel
That there are people worse than you
On a small scale you wreak havoc
In hearts and minds
On people that are much too kind
To tell you you’re the worst sometimes
So from an old friend let me break it to you-ou
Robots live a long time
Yeah they do
Live a long time
Yeah they do… (continued)

Smoke God pt. 1
04:38

You lived in a house
In the South far away
Alone with your mother
And all night she’d pray
For just one more child
Her first was too mild
But she had no idea
Of the thoughts in your head
Prophetic visions of chaos
And glories, unsaid
But you helped her regardless
And prayed for a toothless
Companion for mother
So that there’d be light
But she became restless
So that very night
On walls she made drawings
That matched the ca-cawings
You heard in your head at night
When you would sleep
Black crows from the future
You saw in your dreams
But though you were all-knowing
Your mother was showing
Since mid-september
Which was five weeks too late
And the birthing went smoothly
And she celebrated
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Are you happy now?
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Are you happy now?
You’re mother’s happy now.
But she became taller than you ever were
And her face shown more beauty of that you were sure
But while mother was doting
Your sister was poking
Holes in your happiness
Unrest inside
You were bitter to sister
To her you told lies
And while her heart was dying
You shook your head sighing
And tore away something she’d had once before
And darkness crept in your heart forevermore
And she ran away storming
And storm clouds were forming
And she’s hurting and hurtling like a stone-rolling wheel
Your powers were internal but hers you could feel
But though you had a sister
You can’t say you missed her
Now that she had disappeared to distant lands
You had mother to yourself so you could hold hands
But it was too good to be true
That mother could love you
She made a noose out of rope and walked out the back door
Hung herself from the roof an inch above the floor
And her black tongue was lolling
You heard your name calling
From the FATE mouth
Grape brain
Shaking out your toes now
And the fake rain
You remember
Washing all your clothes out
Ahh-ahh-ahh
You should run away
Ahh-ahh-ahhhh
You should run away
And you run away

Goodnight Mr. Dragon
04:59

It's sleepy time
Mr. Dragon
But you wanna stay awake
But tomorrow night
some knights are gonna come
to plunder all your caves
but you'll save
Their lives
You'll say to them
"I can't eat you today,
you've got to go away.
So goodnight, good knight
to bed you go
You've got to go away."
Someday
you'll meet another dragon
"I think you're really great,"
They'll say
to you
"I love you, and I'll stay,"
they'll say
to you
But you still don't want to go to sleep
no, no
I know it's not okay
oh yeah
I do
I think you're really great (I love you and I'll stay)
Oh yeah, I do
I think you're really great (I love you and I'll stay)
Oh yeah, I do
