- Best of the Worst
You don’t like what you see, that’s alright with me
I can’t say that I much disagree
You don’t like what you hear, you got shit in your ears
Take the breath taken from me
What came first? The pain or the hurt?
Take on the rest , it’s a pissing contest,
the last in the fight to be heard
Put your foot on my head, fight the feeling instead
- Big City Life
It all fell apart, It came down hard
We covered our eyes and got hit with the shards
I couldn’t take hold of the big city way
It led me down halls, it led me astray
I needed my home, I needed my wife
I needed to dry my clothes of the big city life
Cause I can’t take the pace and I can’t take the speed
The one thing I’ve found, there’s nothing better than peace
- Bleed-Through
Cut the cord from the common plan
Made our minds up we understand
Took a rain check from the enemy
The enemy we see is clearly me
I know you can hear my real thoughts
They haunt you too
I know you can feel my real heart
Bleeding through
- Dead Poetry
On this dead poets' day
We close our eyes as we pray
For all the hearts beyond absolve
Their marrow dry, their gold facade
A loss for words right from the start
For all the minds beyond our sway
In the dead poets' dark
They have torn out the heart of hearts
- First Fires
Live on bread alone, feel first fires coming on
Out of house & home pick your weapon and on
Three get ready, keep it steady we
Try to kill the memories
Now the soup is on, fill your cup and move along
Out of house & home pick your weapon and on
Three get ready, keep it steady we
Try to kill the memories
- Flesh Colored Canvas
My visions still blurred by the tricks that you turned,
I danced and fell back
I laid open eyed drinking heart wine
Soaking in all that I lacked
A lover accused of standing abuse then
Turning and running the track
A pawn in the game that muses had made
Somehow I always attract
- Get Away
I don’t really care about money maybe that’s why I ain’t got any
I just wanna take what you ate, I just wanna be on the same page
Lets getaway the only way we can
Lets get away the only way we can
Lets getaway the only way, I’ll make it up to you someday
Let me pass, let me through, I swear to god I’ll make it up to you.
What would you pay for this mess? Gimme all you got I’ll take no less
We don’t really care about money maybe that’s why we ain’t got any
- Godfather
Came by it honest, came by it naturally
He made a promise and kept it faithfully
He was a good man, he was a good man
He was a mover, and a shaker and a lover and a warrior
Fell under pressure but swore hed never leave
He drove bargains and drove them crazily
He was a good man, he was a good man
He was a mover, and a shaker and a lover and a warrior
- Golden Gifts
Shower me with golden gifts
Hold me close don’t let me slip, far away
From my home. Don’t let me slip far from home.
Turn me loose, but kiss my lips
Stay confused by all of this and be afraid
For your life, be afraid for your life
You relax and let me have my way with you
I don’t know what to say, Ill try to take it easy on you.
- Goner
I know I can hear people if you let me
I get it but you cant laugh because youre stupid
I can try to bring you in but you wont hate it
hate
i know i turn it down because im pointless
in reflect stun my face and find inflection
I could be gone
- Heavy Petting
Heavy petting, come up breathing
Heavy petting, stand there grieving
Skin is shedding, blood is letting
Hands are ready, for heavy petting
Over and over I'm ashamed
I'm keeping myself awake
- in the marrow
Wake me when its over son, let me have my rest
Sleep induced by alcohol probably ain’t the best
In the marrow I got lost
Straight and narrow gets tossed off
In the marrow, I got lost
Turn me loose and let me dry, Taste the sour tongue
Ill return to my old life, when all the world was young
In the marrow I got lost
- It Was A Rose
"It Was a Rose"
(words and music by H. Morris)
Is this thing loaded or is it broken?
Is it ready for the road?
This we’ve encountered, is it a flower? Is it pretty? Is it a rose?
My higher power has counted the hours, in his kingdom bored as stone.
The devils a waiter, he won’t chase you, sits cross-legged, waiting at home.
- Second Split
Shame on me, for killing things
I took his head with a machete
A single hit, a second split
In two halves, forgive, forget
Look in here, the coast is clear
You’ll never hear from them again
I’ve told lies, and taken lives
Dreamed of life on the outside
- Slave To Slavery
A slave to this past-time am I
Am I looking dead or alive?
The answer to this question is... Why?
A slave to this past-time am I
What we see see is what we are not
Please come in and tear it apart
The endings are beginning to rot
What we see is what we are not.
- Slow Poisons
Can’t spill the words to kill the time
There are three of every kind
Vision blurred from thoughts in mind
Liquor kill these fears of mine
Pull it hard and bring the numb
I will shine and the devil run
It all makes sense but it’s never done
If it were true, wouldn’t hide your gun
- Start Me Laughing
Falling over on yourself
Raise my right again, but I’m left, I’m left, I’m left
Hanging on another boy
Waste my time again annoyed, annoyed, annoyed.
Mistakes start me laughing now
Choking, choking
I know I can barely hide it, I know I am so excited.
Falling often on your own
- The Rat
Shoot from the back
Take good aim
Make sure I'm dead
Bang Bang
'Cause I'm a rat
There's no mistake
Under the bed
- Tortured-Artist Saint
She's a cold bitch in honest company
Cut you with lies and lead you on
She carries knives instead of necklaces
Her eyes gleam at the spire you're on
She'd steal the stone that's on your grave
She's no one's tortured artist saint
Just turn your back and give her an easy way
To take what you need and give what you don't
- Vacations
We’re together all alone
Procreating happy homes
Saw it coming all along
Acting like there’s nothing wrong
Sooner or later it dissolves
Vacations for us all
Don’t mind if I do say
I’m so so sorry, you can’t help me
- We Married Money
We married money and lived in sin
Burned our belongings to begin again
We buried treasure in the wide open
Gave fake hand-shakes, made fast friends
-Show me something, cause I got nothing
Keep it coming leave it all to me...
The blood that’s in them, in me flows
And like a fine wine, it sours slow
- Winter Waters
Take me to the river
Take my clothes off
I don’t want you to see this
Go on boy, get lost
There’s no water cold enough for me
And winter waters carry me off
You can go tell the others
That I’ve gone over the falls
- Yer Circus
The trapeze man has fallen
The clowns have gone to bed
Yer' circus turned belly up
Broke its back against its debt
What fools we played to clap hands
For taming tigers tame
Our pulse, applause, adrenaline
For shaking out the names
