Eccentric Insect

The time is coming but I won't be scared
the metamorphosis inside my head
down from the web to heal again
so much confusion
so little time to deal with it
The human's brain is poisonous
spitting sentences from the mouth
I wind up in a conversation
that I can't express my own thoughts
In the machine
In the machine
I'm just a legless grasshopper
wasting away in this paper bag
I'm just a legless grasshopper
wasting away
I feel to the need to keep on moving
my reflection upon the glass
there is no door that I can open
only stairs will take me down
In the machine
In the machine
I'm just a legless grasshopper
wasting away in this paper bag
I'm just a legless grasshopper
wasting away . . .

True to You

these steps that lead us down
will surely bring us up
out of the ground
we've always been stuck
we'll find a wonderland
out of this frozen land
we've got to get out of this frozen land
And I'll say that I love you
when you want me to
I may try and hide from you
when I don't know what to do
these steps keep bringing us down
further in the ground
I can't find my way out
don't know the way around
now the air is getting thick
but the light is shining through
all the friends you thought you had
they were never true to you
And I'll say that I love you
when you want me to
I may try and hide from you
when I don't know what to do
where's the light at the end of the tunnel
that you told me about?
It's just one tunnel after another
and we're going down

I'm faceless, says the troubled boy
I'm faceless, says the troubled boy
but I don't care about that anymore
because I have forgotten the outer world
oh, I threw some coins down a wishing well
oh, I lose my beauty to a witch's spell
in the woods
come here love, I want to feel better
cause' I'm not protected from the pain in the winter
I'm faceless, says the troubled boy
I'm faceless, says the troubled boy
but it doesn't hurt me anymore
because I have forgotten the outer world
oh, I threw some coins down a wishing well
oh, I lose my beauty to a witch's spell
oh, the dungeon of vanity was a controlling force
oh, the devil's poison was in the singer's voice
come here love, I want to feel better
cause' I'm not protected from the pain in the winter
I'm tired of being lonely, I want someone to shelter
cause' I'm not protected from the pain in the winter

Spider in the Pumpkin

You can't look at life
through only one eye
there's people all around you
they spin you like a dime
one at a time
one at a time
on the day that I should die
I believe that God
will take me to my family and friends
while my body's left behind
on the earth that fades
You can't look at life
through only one eye
because people will betray you
there dropping like flies
one at a time
well I'm not flying like you said I would
but I'm not preaching like you say I should
I spin a web and I'm caught inside
was heaven and hell
only in my mind?

Citrus Blossum

I've fallen to this place again
but it's not like the others
She has the face of a pearly gem
and the heart like no other
But this is what always happens
I end up going crazy for nothing
over and over again and over again
When it's midnight I think about those eyes
that pierce through me
and sees through my disguise
Your voice is a pretty song
that I try to sing along
With the words in my mouth
and the instrument in my arms
But nothing that I do
is able to produce the sound
In mid-conversation I half-brain collapse
when you look me in the eye, I get a heart attack
it's all good memories until something happens
Give her your wings
and fly far away together
Show her the ocean
she won't be around forever
And when you feel her crying
lift her up on your shoulders
Like a beautiful angle
Just like
She's a beautiful angle.

Brains for Cash

I warned you to know
this was in my head
all along
your company was a dread to be around
But sometimes I get lonely
and my face turns green
It's only when I'm lonely
that I'm as free as i can be
soon I'll be
healing by the stream
Crawling down the buildings
from house to house
I'm sorry mama for the ugly mouse
I am
But what am I to do, when my brain is made for soup?
What am I to think now that I'm here?
I warned you to know
this was in their hands
overwhelmed
with things to do
just to live
But sometimes I get lonely
and my face turns green
It's only when I'm lonely
that I'm as free as I can be
I"m as free as I can be
Crawling down the buildings
from house to house
I'm sorry mama for the ugly mouse
I am
But what am I to do, when my brain is made for soup?
What am I to think now that I'm here?
I will drown away the Sun
Don't you know
I will hide the mouse and run
Don't you know?
I was never meant to live
off the fat of the land
It was just another dead dream I had

Jenny come back
Jenny come back
psychoactive in the US
Jenny runs...

good evening mr. lying factory
what are your plans tonight?
are you troubled at the work that must be done
were you planning that I might
I think I hear someone
Yeah, the guests have arrived
put your smile on now
keep your other self denied
hold your breath, count to one
shake twenty hands, but it's not done
lose your grip and say some words
don't kill yourself from all the germs
good evening mr. lying factory
I must use you again
you're my only sure identity
you're my safe escape
good evening mr. lying factory
am I getting on your nerves?
Well, your painting makes me yawn
throw your painting in the mud
cut your fingers off
take the mouse mask off
what's this dress code all about?
cut your hair, cut it out
patiently waiting in the hall
to see the doctor
I don't need a doctor at all
plastic hands grabbing at my organs
I can think, but I can't move

Bridge Under Ground

If I lost my hands
I wouldn't be able to talk
but I lost my voice
nothing would change at all
I'm tired of unpleasant thoughts
coming in my dreams
I am not a man
I am an alien
And if I pass away
lying in the dirt
I want you all to know
the bug is in the dirt
Though my brain would
shrivel away
my thoughts and soul would still remain
and I'd be waiting for you
in Heaven
