Magnet For Fires (live)

In my new house
Number fifteen
Turquoise and dirt wears a houndstooth dress
The silk noose perfume of cold flesh sick with thrills
Is deadly If you're poisoned by her quills
She's a magnet for fires
She commands the heat burning gasoline
Catching roving eyes
I can't compete with the matches poised to strike
Got a Heart of wax
Sculpted by our heated past
Her name is carved with the barks of vagrant dogs
Drawing arsonists to ignite her vacant house
She's a magnet for fires
She commands the heat burning gasoline
Catching roving eyes
I can't compete with the matches poised to strike
And I'd die again for the chance to burn alive
Gray mesa of the vague
Smoke signals haze over the open range
Obscured my faith degrades
Now the sleep temple is a palace full of incendiary things
And the totem pole where I hide my strength lays splintered in decay
Melt the sands of time to placid pool
Hide beneath sheen
I need an exit sign to guide my way
Guide my way
I can't escape the memory
It's part of me now
She cauterized my injuries
No bleeding her out
Echo the flame the night is on fire
Sleep under sheets of acid rain
Echo the flame
Echo the flame the night is on fire
I can't resist I need to break the plane
Hands in pain
I can feel her, feel her again
In flames
I can feel her, feel her again
In vain
I can feel her, feel her again
Ashamed
I can feel her, feel her
Caught in the iron jaws of repeat dreams
I need an amputation
Set me free
She's a magnet for fires

Thrust in the shadows
Three sided bayonet
Bound to strangers though battles
Through the hi-gloss shades of red
Lipstick on her teeth again
Packs of escaped criminals
Run through the wild expanse
Owls scratching at my window
The night stains my steel resolve
Deep inside I know it's wrong
When you live your life in limbo
Nothing tames the pangs of love
No result
Cabin fever setting in
Nostalgia razors slash this braided rope
Back into threads
Draw the drapes and paint the window
Never see the light again
Patterns keep her under skin
In my blood
In my bones
In my head
Empty vessels make the most sound
Living in a future ghost town
Abandon ship is all I hear
Silence is so crystal clear
In the woods at night
You're not safe without the sound
In the pines above
Her parliament of owls
Tracks you down
In a bed of needles
Beyond the safety of your lies
Every dose of hope is lethal
Every word a knife
Always on the lam
Forever nursing wounded limbs
Never innocent again
Again my life governed by
A sisterhood of birds in flight
They're wise
Who am I
Swinging from their gallows
(Red)
Dead beats repeat from rounded wings
Their call is deep and stuttering
My body hurts my mind is weak
I've lost control it's plain to see
My life governed by
A sisterhood of birds in flight
They're wise
Who am I
Swinging from their gallows

Umbrella Ghost (live)
05:10
|
|||
|
Your funeral incense smoke
Hangs overhead
Like a black umbrella
The siren song that the truth evokes
Lures me to a landscape of war-torn terror
What would I do
Without you
Shading me from the shinning light
Wander blindly burnt by the sun
Without a lovelorn specter to fight
No one knows how to drive in this town
Operators on the line dialed-in to run
you down
leave you without help
glassy icebound eyes echo hollow black sound
With red X's to market
Pale skin
draped in wet fabric
Crushed like a carpenter ant
into carpet
Nailed up on wood
Limbless in limbo
Speed through the traffic light
crash like a cymbal
No one knows how to drive in this town
Operators on the line disconnect and run
you down
leave you without help my friend
I see the light at the bitter end
I need you here to keep me in the dark
So I can continue to play pretend
When the fantasy dissolves
and the mystery is solved
Without all the lovely questions
All that's left are ugly answers
The friction I needed is gone
Black Umbrella take my hand
pull me with the wind
Umbrella if you fold
Open up again
Umbrella hold me close
Be my second
Be my second skin
Umbrella where you end
That's where I begin
The friction I needed is long gone
To Hell
Obsidian asphalt
Usher the new age
Will dawn
My black umbrella deflected the
freezing rain
From over my head
To right down in front of me
On this frozen road
I lost my grip
My heart sank down into my
Belly as my tires slipped
Nothing is cheap
when you have to pay the price
No road is safe
when it's covered in ice
That's when your handle on me broke
Gave up the chase
I let you go
Out of control
Time to take my turn
Sometimes you have to crash and burn
Drive heavy rain
flood this path I'm on
Sun-drenched I'll harden in the mud
Drive heavy rain
Break umbrella storm
Sometimes you have to come undone

Sad eyes grow verdant
Lush from the rain
Don't make me nervous
I can't shoot straight
Good time hyenas
Sprung from their cage
Someone sunk a file in their wedding cake
Now they're on the prowl making new mistakes
Lonely makes a spark that lights the fuse
Pull the plug and lose your life support blues
Trash in the alley
Fuzz on the scene
Uncanny valley
Girls drink for free
Put them in the shed
Hands don't come clean
Dressed to the the teeth
Drenched to the skin
Skin paper thin
Blood in the water when they fell in
Too deep too fast too learned to swim
I should have tried to save 'em
But I let 'em drowned
I should have amputated
Now it's rotting off
I should have barricaded
But I let them in
I should have never let it
Boil down to this
Put 'em on the saw
The soft pulse machine

Deer In Fear (live)

Deer in fear
On the highway in your head
Jangle your spurs
Let them know your there
The night is clear
The air is weird
Stare into the bullseye
I need a brimstone wedding band
I need a witness to our end
I'll take the devil's hand
And cross you out
Grow thick gray matted fur
white ash in urn
Remnants of the mask I wore
All my human traits
Slowly slip away
Howling in the moonlight
I need a brimstone wedding band
I need a witness to our end
I'll take the devil's hand
And cross you out
Buried neck deep in the sand
The tide is rolling in
Farewell my faithful friend
I'll watch you drowned
Like a deer in fear
Escape the shaking mountain
Barefoot on broken shale
Like a deer in fear
Don't fight it
Run like hell
Through Thunderbolts and lightning
Red thorns and stormy veil
Like a deer in fear
The wolves are on your tail
Deep in the cataclysm
Weep through the winding trails
Like a deer in fear
With hellhounds are on your heels
Sprint through the hunting fields
Cruel crosshairs force your will
Like a deer in fear
You know its shoot to kill
Through wire past the signs
To double yellow lines
Like a deer in fear
You're blinded by the light

Supernatural Dusk (live)
05:26
|

Luna moth in a beam of light
Foxfire on the forest floor
Yellow ivory skeleton key
Break the seal on your secret door
Crosswinds blow
Sheer the wool
Naked eyes now
Sear right through
Full moon in fever
Blind fire dark corridors
Her roots run deeper
Through the cold black sand Between you and my corpse
Dew drops feed the flowers at night
Glitter glade under Ersa's robes
Pale horse for the dying light
Rolling fog flood the valley below
Oh oh
Black boots on the blistered ground
With enough lead paint we can burn this town down
Red fangs wear the broken crown
The wolf mother knows
Insects glow
Paper lanterns in a row
Hungry eyes
Crush my husk in fertile soil
I can feel it
Flight feathers
Stuck together
on my weakened limbs
I can feel it
I can feel it melt my arms
Two gunmetal gray
Rivers branch apart
I was only human from the start
I can feel it
I can feel it melt my heart
The gunfire fades
And the fever drops
Shot down in the supernatural dusk
Transform
Back into man
Pry the weapon from my cold dead hands
Wind worn
Luminaries dim
Out of fuel
And at my end
Silver bullet savior
This prison's lost its charm
I can't escape unless you help me bend the bars
Match strike and light the paper
Sparkle darkened stars
I died, I met my maker
And she sent me back with claws
I can feel it
I can feel it melt my arms
Two gunmetal gray
Rivers branch apart
I was only human from the
I can feel it
I can feel it melt my heart
The gunfire fades
And the fever drops
Shot down in the supernatural dusk
