One more thing In this head Laid to rest One more thing Put to bed Off my chest A fish in the talons Almost falling Don't lose your prey Say what you're here to say A fish in the talons Never falling Won't lose my prey Say what I need to say Aw hell, we passed that exit miles ago Turn those guns on yourselves Aw hell, we climbed those mountains miles ago We won all by ourselves One more pill Left to take Seal our fate One more kill Left to make Lie in wait A snake in the garden Always hunting Don't lose your prey Say what you're here to say A snake in the garden free to hunt and Take down my prey Say what we need to say Aw hell, we passed that exit miles ago Turn those guns on yourselves Aw hell, we climbed those mountains miles ago We won all by ourselves We won all by ourselves We won all by ourselves Turn those guns on yourselves

Mind Your Words 05:44

Lyrics - Mind Your Words Prim and proper, frail and sweet soft and quiet, nice and neat She'll stack them neatly in the corner Once she tires and they start to bore her To suffer from a lack of grace Such a letdown, a disgrace You always manage to ruin my day You just can't seem to get out of my way Sit politely and cross your legs Mind your words and watch what you say Head erect, but not too rigid We're too loose or we're too frigid You silly things with your funny little ways You'd all vanish if I had my say I'm so sorry to have ruined your day I'm doing my best to stay out of your way I wish I could be just like you But I have a brain!! I think if I thought like you do I'd go insane I wish I could be just like you But I have a brain!! I don't think like you do I'm far too sane We mustn't whisper or laugh loudly swing our arms or move them awkwardly Too many thoughts I wish I could erase Inside my mind, in a deep dark place A constant smile or a settled frown Ill-mannered girls are the talk of this town I may do something awful someday I just can't seem to get out of my way Sit politely and cross your legs Mind your words and watch what you say Head erect, but not too rigid We're too loose or we're too frigid You silly things with your funny little ways You'd all vanish if I had my say I'm so sorry to have ruined your day I'm doing my best to stay out of your way I wish I could be just like you But I have a brain!! I think if I thought like you do I'd go insane I wish I could be just like you But I have a brain!! I don't think like you do I'm far too sane Just ask what's on my mind You won't want to know Just say what's on your mind I would love to know

Fracture 03:16

Dance ye soul on their resting spot we revel in our squalor I'd chatter like a magpie if I had a single word to say We all are disingenuous try not to fool yourselves I have so much that I need to numb more than you will ever need to know Under the floor boards not something to ignore I will say Sweet scent of your decay time does have its way It takes me away That one was such a bore this one I did adore I will betray I did it all again had my way and then it took me away far away, it takes me far away

Our Next Victim 04:53

So lovely it's my disguise Look closely see through these eyes This won't be your lucky day well, not if things... go my way Waiting with the sun in my eyes Patient and biding my time Holding my breath While watching my prey The sun would keep on shining on any other day seems so pure on the outside cold and rotten and empty inside That's enough about me Now what about you? This may take some time But I'll see it through Waiting with the sun in my eyes Patient and biding my time Holding my breath While watching my prey The sun would keep on shining on any other day Any other day You'd be on your way And fine Any other day you would still be Alive Falling and falling away

Miss Manners 04:26

Miss Manners Watch the leaves curl one at a time The gravel sifted and they all align The hole stays dark with nothing inside Reached an impasse, now my hands are tied and I walked for days in a haze that was caused by you medicated, meditated, stopped the swelling for you and I walked for days in a haze that was caused by you drawn four ways, I did this all for you Peel back the bark and grate your skin See it coming and take it on the chin Push through the growth and come to this side Step on remains and maintain your stride A little discomfort or something in that vein A wee bit of whiskey might help to manage the pain and I walked for days in a haze that was caused by you medicated, meditated, stopped the swelling for you and I walked for days in a haze that was caused by you drawn four ways, I did this all for you now I walk for days in a haze that was caused by you drawn four ways, there's nothing left for you for you...

As the whiskey drains, so does my heart It's clear the time has come for us to part Life is a blissful blur when you are numb This is as close god as you'll ever come Y'all be careful Please tread lightly This house is full of death it seems to haunt me You will only know the me that I'll let you know You will only see the me that I choose to show You will only know the me that I'll let you know You will only see the me that I choose to show Delightful and frightful It warms me through inside Let's cherish this moment the pain will soon subside You poor thing So fearful I see it in your eyes You sweet thing So hopeful Your trust brings your demise Y'all be careful Please tread lightly This house is full of death it seems to haunt me You will only know the me that I'll let you know You will only see the me that I choose to show You will only know the me that I'll let you know You will only see the me that I choose to show
