lyrics

saints die leaving the cursed to live
Puff bubblegoose feathers from angels in the turbulence
inertia wins as the twisters hold in cold embrace
rick the ruler measures plots for the golden cage
the coldest case, permafrost becomes the latest one
Learned a lot and used none, a fatal numb
Afraid to make the old mistake, they hold the place
the price is right for a stone's throw to roll away
soul engaged, treading fever in this molten space
Behold the rage as the embers warn the trolls away
Guarded heavily the optimist, parole awaits
Stars and mezzanines frozen for the frame
God inside a blackened spoon, the lord in vain
the more the merrier, burial with Some more to maim
Siddharta martyrdom marker sharpie a source of pain
Chicken scratched in the blacked book of wars to claim

No more remain
If everything is special life is Lake Wobegon
Extort the game
Life in a distorted frame, painted canvas morbid pain
Discourse inflamed

Doctor Octavius my chosen coat of arms
Cabbages with the Ghosts of Mars, Rosa Parks
A Penny for the thoughts of posting guards
Most bizarre peace to Simpsons, they brought the Moe’s to art
Surgery is open heart, rusty tools, no regard
Bonaparte slash Noah’s ark, Soaking barbs
Broken shards of the arrowheads Joan of Arc
Known to starve while the marrow bled a totem shark
leaves changing and they're whispering goodbye to me
Another year come and gone, tread alights to beats
The miser keeps secrets deep in paranoia’s safe
Combination plus a time lock the Hoya days
Ticking every box on the timecard
Invest-mentality salary is a nice start
Apply heart and watch the world turn it to a cinder
Resuscitate the soul and bring it back to newly injure
