DISAPPOINTMENT

black skies are raining on rooftops
their buckets fill to the brim
the pattering splitting of shingles
the pressure builds up within
no patch to fill up the chasms
like sutures sew up the wounds
no proof, just festering, languid
i’ll go jerk off in my room
i stand here now on the edge of it
wondering when i'll finally leave
shame wears a crown on its head
guilt sends you down through the dirt
no love just fear of damnation
is that your blood on my shirt?
no love just fear of damnation
no prize but a pile of dirt

the cities piled up more like mountains of salt
a little bit of rain could make the whole damn thing fall
but hand in hand we all walked toward the sun
pretending warmth was as good as a gun
all masked up like it’s halloween again
can a shadow still be construed as a man
our bodies cried out in the endless expanse
if we’re going to go die we might as well dance
mothers, fathers
daughters, sons
long lost acquaintances
together as one
flailing, thrashing
raving, mad
thrust into darkness
but the skin on our back
they said that we could carry it all
who here knows to climb a wall
who here knows to climb a wall
i know that we can't carry it all
but we try
sojourning on
under the ecstasy of god
who did each of us betray
so we could waste another day
fumbling on
beneath the flag of fallen friends
it’s here we lay our heads
we once were born, and now we’re dead

DISSOCIATION

it's like a sight unseen
like being lost at sea
like missing half of the show because you’re busy trying to score some weed
we need another disease
i guess we get what we please
we can watch on tv as the powers that be let the poor die off in HD
so where’s the simple solution?
rewrite a new constitution?
how bout you kiss my ass and we’ll talk, pretty boy
we don’t have time to wait
the fuse has just been lit
the back and forth is over we either do it or we call it quits
somewhere just outside the lines
another poor excuse for a father drives
his kids in the back seat waiting
to get to when they finally arrive
it’s about that same time
the mother climbs up on the roof of the house
what a beautiful night it turned out to be
she says as she lets her toes hang off the ledge
right before she slips away

DISSOLUTION

i watched the world dangle by a string
questioning the meaning in everything
i watched the world dangle by a string
i watched the news and waited for a savior
but who could reward such bad behavior
i watched the news and waited for a savior
i watched the hearts of families break in half
surely the shepard can save us with his staff
i watched the hearts of families break in half
what will we have left
they don't have the power to kill us all
break out every window and destroy the wall
they don't have the power to kill us all
sing hallelu
the roots are rotten
the tree is bare
the branches broken
beyond repair
what doesn't serve us
or keep us safe
must be destroyed
must be replaced
