MISSION FROM GOD. I am on a MISSION FROM GOD. To blow you away with the sound I came up with. I am on a MISSION FROM GOD. To blow you away with the song I came up with. Can't sleep, got to go and play guitar. No time for eating or the local bar. The greatest love of all's inside of me. Cockrock supershlock lobotomy. I am on a mission from god To blow you away with the sound I came up with last night - I wasn’t even trying to give the only gift worth giving you - Wet dream soundtrack for the deaf and dumb. The sound wave first - then you're the second thing to come. I am on a MISSION FROM GOD. We are on a MISSION FROM GOD. We are on a MISSION FROM GOD. We are on a MISSION FROM GOD.

LET THE EXORCISM BEGIN. Your body is floating; it is hanging from your spine. Your head is turning way past the 180-degree line. I can't seem to change the station from this Linda Blaire impersonation. You can't change the water into wine. Your eyes are swirling - rolling back into the dust; a diorama, an exhibition of disgust. I can't seem to place the blame, but the ending's still the same. You can't change the water into wine. I want to help you but there really is no use. Well you're possessed; at least you've got a good excuse. Let the exorcism begin.

Turing Test 04:03
TURING TEST Believe me now when I say I'm alone, I'm not like you. Believe me now when I say I'm alone I mean it hurts to find another way I can be replaced by something that doesn't feel. feel yourself in motion now. Burst forth the joys of living now. You can't fight the hand that's bleeding you. It's useless to choose that now. You know it's useless to choose that now. Believe me now when I say I am bored I'm not like you.

INTERNET KILLER All this talk about weekends trying to drag out where I'm gonna be. It's the Internet killer pretending to like the same things as me. I don't know what they look like. And I don't know where they are. I can barely write to someone without being buried alive right in their back yard.

Best Revenge 04:42
THE BEST REVENGE It's the wrapping on the floor. After all the gifts are opened that's what you ignore. How could you resist all the bright colors? It's the tilting at windmills part. I saw it in your eyes and it scared me from the start. How could I resist all the bright colors? The best revenge is to pick myself back up again. How does it feel to be the one who switches channels in the middle of a transmission? It's gotta hurt. Hurt a whole lot. When lonely memories are the only thing you've got. How does it feel to be the one who loses interest in the middle of a conversation? It wasn't rude but it was careless to waste those five years with your boredom and your tears and the clank clank clank of your machinery stamping out domes of happy snow globe scenery. I believe the best revenge is to pick myself back up again. It's the clothing on the floor. After all the sex is over that's what you ignore. How could you resist all the bright colors? The best revenge is to pick myself back up again.

EMO TAKES LAST PLACE Don't leave me stranded here. Don't leave me in the dark. It's a long way to drop drop drop. The falling stops when the impact starts. Don't leaving me standing here. Don't leave me off the ground. Pull me out from the brace position wait. From the challenger sound. Don't leave me grasping air. Don't leave me all alone. I'm arriving. The destination is found now that I'm going straight down. Don't leave me standing here. Don't leave me in the dark It's a long way to burn burn burn. Hydrogen tears from a Hindenburg spark. Three Zero coming down, 400 feet - maintain altitude. 400 feet, Three Zero coming down - losing altitude. Lusitania in slow motion. Sink into the quiet ocean.

THE ORIGINS OF THE FOURTH WORLD WAR. Once. When I was cut to the quick by Operation Golgotha. And now. Touring lecture halls, university slide shows. Hey. You're the one who believes it. You're the one that makes me have to. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Once. When I was cut to the quick by Operation Golgotha. And now. Turning back the hordes of the Chinese invasion. Hey. You're the one who believes it. You're the one that makes me have to. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Re-play it over and over again 'till you see. Re-play it over and over again 'till you say...

FEMA 03:23
FEMA The committee to reduce all things to consequence and ashes has convened. They've decided to partition off the ugly ones and herd all the fat disgusting women and men to some where they will never be seen again. Don't over-react, don't get excited: it's all part of a special plan to make this world a better place erase the mistakes we've made. Starting with you -- removing your will to live and building you back up from scratch. You better watch where your sad Hannibal Lecter tears are shed, and put your faith and trust in fate instead. The committee to reduce all things to consequence and ashes has convened. They've decided to partition off the ugly ones and herd you with the fat disgusting women and men. To somewhere you will never be seen again. The legislation to destroy the earth, ending all pain and suffering, was delayed while the lobbyists -- pro and con -- had to rethink about which side they were on and I can't figure out what's worse... if it's live or if we all rehearse. You better watch where your sad Hannibal Lecter tears are shed. And put your faith and trust in fate instead. Don't over-react.

THE BLEEDING HEART OF CEMENT I thought that we'd be bound forever because all opposites attract. But my agoraphobic wet dream is your claustrophobic panic attack. It's so fair: Stare into the bleeding heart of cement. How does it bleed? I don't know. Where will you go now? I don't care. And as the ties are severed the solder melts and quickly disappears. And at the feast of anorexics you made a toast to being thin. At the time I was just bulemic I had no name-tag but they still let me in. It's so fair: Stare into the bleeding heart of cement. How does it bleed? I don't know. Where will you go now? I don't care. And as the ties are severed the solder melts and quickly disappears. Release me. But don't set me free. There's such a surplus of concern that it's a thrill to waste it. Hold my hand each bridge. Forever: I can almost taste it. I had this horrible vision that everything wound up okay. Okay's for assholes and losers. I'd rather burn out than rot out that way. It's so fair: Stare into the bleeding heart of cement. How does it bleed? I don't know. Where will you go now? I don't care. And as the ties are severed the solder melts and quickly disappears. Disappears. Disappears. Disappears. Disappears. Disappears. Disappears.

Last Parade 03:29
THE LAST PARADE You're going over my head again, it's a problem with communication. You're like a time bomb waiting to explode. You choked on after dinner mints. It's like a backhand compliment. You're getting starved again. Over my dead body you're going to leave. Sit down and stay for awhile. Let's go over some new ground because I found out this is the last parade. I found out - this is the last parade. I found out - this is the last parade. This is where you eat your own grenade.

HOW I RUINED MY LIFE WITH AN OVERACTIVE IMAGINATION. Stay away from me before I lose control and spill my guts and ruin it for both of us. The other night I went to the show. On the off chance you might decide to go. Stay away from me before I lose control and spill my guts and ruin it for both of us. I looked around and you were there and I couldn't find the words to tell you but at least I avoided this confession. I am lying on the carpet of my old apartment floor. And I am thinking myself in circles like I've done a thousand times before. You could starve yourself for seconds. I could starve myself for days. But the minute I stop my motion is the minute I sink away. Stay away from me before I lose control and spill my guts and ruin it for both of us. You could never have me. I'm already taken. I would never risk it. What if I'm mistaken? Stay away from me before I lose control and spill my guts and ruin it for both of us.

WHY FAMOUS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BREED. The movie star and her rock god boyfriend went out to the toolshed and created a monster. Out of bits of foil and scraps of metal. Vaseline, and magnetic tape. They plugged it in. It started oozing and drooling. They were euphoric until it started to mewl... the sickly sucking sound of the truly deformed. She slapped his face... said "you're worthless and you're weak". He punched and spit on her... said "you're a washed up slut". It just kept mewling because all it wanted was to watch them watch them watch them fuck. It plugged them in. They started oozing and drooling. They were euphoric until it started to mewl... the sickly sucking sound of the truly deformed.

NEIL ARMSTRONG Open up the gates of Babylon, Neil Armstrong has returned from the future; he has learned that pessimism paves the way for all the things you never say. Push the starting gate away from me in the sea of tranquility all this emptiness is disturbing me and everything I said. I do. Were optimistic lies for you. It seems absurd this world's a melting watch, a gynecological textbook for the blind. I feel so privileged. 8 hours a day I get to push the stone to watch it roll downhill. All work and no play makes me productive, a vital thread in a fabric wove from shit. If I close my eyes it doesn't hurt a bit.

ROAD TO FLIGHT Christmas ribbons, packing twine, extension cord or yarn. Kite string, piano wire, guitar chord or rope. A cat's paw, a larkshead, it's only a question of skill. A clove hitch or a slip knot, it's only a matter of will. All I need is a chandelier so I can go out in style. And a chair to kick out from under me as I hang there with a smile. Ten different knots that I can tie it's only a question of skill. A rope, a hook, a chair, a note, it's only a matter of will. I could slash my wrists or overdose on sleeping pills but a hangman's noose is a hallmark card for the holiday that kills. In the kitchen there's a carving knife. Go cut me down and save my life. But I'll never stay with you here. There's a secret I'm wanting to share... Forever means nothing. Forever means nothing. Forever means nothing on the road to flight.
