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

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

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

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
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
