EXTRA MILE
in anger over the pain of the world
social engineers design the end of the world
they’re going the extra mile
in honor of some idea of charity
they’re taking everything away from me
just going the extra mile
to convince these men they’re wrong
would take a lifetime, another lifetime
when all the teachers are the leaders of the mob
so in sadness over the end of the world
my anger bubbles over the world
and I’m going the extra mile
hurry and get it over with
rush to the end, bring on the end
with self-fulfilling prophecy you see
here’s the thing: I set the stage
I’m gonna sin
I’ll win the rat race, I’m all in
here’s the thing: I set the stage
I’m gonna sin
and win the rat race, I’m all in
the Lord may layer the floods upon the Earth
but he’ll never save the men in his church
who’ve gone the extra mile
here we stand outside heaven’s gates
you’d better let us in or you’ll be sorry
we’ve gone the extra mile

Horrible Heart

HORRIBLE HEART
a stagnant pool of open wounds
spread out in front of you
in my horrible heart
a hopeful place of helping hands
chopped into pieces on the land
in my horrible heart
a platform to sabotage myself
security pre-dates chaos
you can’t have insanity without
sanity to start and I’ll flame off
a craven face, a leering grin
that limps along in spite of things
in my horrible heart
I’m leaving you without a center to stand
I’m leaving you without a hold to hand
I’m leaving you --you can’t leave me now
I’m hurting you --you can’t hurt me now
I’m leaving you --you can’t leave me now
I’m hurting I’m the fucked up one here in the game
a painful muse to see the truth
look out we’re celebrating you
and your horrible heart
that’s your charge: help us go on
sing us another pretty song
from your horrible heart
a platform to sabotage myself
security pre-dates chaos
you can’t have insanity without
sanity to start and I’ll flame off

Slaughter

SLAUGHTER
keep feeding the lamb until the slaughter
keep remembering what we learned until we’re authors
keep on blowing the smoke over the altar
keep fasting ‘til the blasting of the shofar
you’ll never catch me ‘cause my heart beats free
free like a piece of lost debris
don’t ever deceive when you don’t believe
stop trying to be what I just can’t be
keep reading the letters that never open
keep listening to the conversation broken
maybe the reason is the truth is never spoken
maybe the problem is the whole thing is a token
you’ll never catch me ‘cause my heart beats free
free like a piece of lost debris
don’t ever deceive ‘cause you don’t believe
stop trying to be what I just can’t be
cup a leather cup, I filled it up,
I turned it over, it’s not enough
I have a soft spot inside my heart
I went to press it, it fell apart
it’s a leather cup, can’t lift it up
I know the reason. I think it’s stuck
I had a problem, it got too small
I looked inside it, it swallowed all
keep feeding the lamb until the slaughter
keep blowing the smoke over the altar
keep keeping the fast until the shofar
keep listening keep listening keep
when you lay your head down to sleep you’re alone
and when they lay you in the ground to keep you’re alone
and if you’re like me I know you’ll like being alone

You and Me

YOU AND ME
in the moment I pray I’ll be good to you
all the reasons I live lead me back to you
you and me, me and you
you and me, me and you
there is no deeper grave in my heart but you
at the feet that I lay will belong to you
you and me, me and you
you and me, me and you
if I don’t have you
there is no need to be heard
if I don’t have you
I give right back to the earth
all the good it does I lay
right down in the dirt
and I look at you I know
you’re keeping your word
you’re keeping your word
there is nobody here that can comfort you
there is no deeper fear that you can’t undo
you and me, me and you
you and me, me and you
