a blanket of negative space
a school full of brilliant children
a field trip gone a-wrong
whose the schoolmarm who brought them?

a swirling, hopeless void
'gainst a future so bright
a field day gone awry
who signed signed off, said alright

it's worth the chance
deserved the loss

pete found this void
and thre all kinds of shit in it
sucked up his wallet
and destroyed his wrist watch
pete nearly had a void
down on it's knees
but it pleaded for mercy

reef found this void
that looked just like pete
checked his I.D.
and knew it was him
almost destroyed a void
but the void bowed to the floor
and belt out a pleading cry

a man with no face

a faceless man
came into work
to take a nap
on the conveyor belt
nobody acknowledged
the man with no face
nobody knows
a man with no face
after shift break
the switch was thrown on
and the belt cycled in
on the man napping
nobody noticed
the man with no face
nobody knows
a man with no face
5 million toys
were made that day
5 million dolls
came out with no face
no one knows
a man with no face
nobody wants to pay
for the man with no face
you can't paint it on

I am just a guest in other people's realities

this machine
will force you to breath
i am just a guest in other people's reality
this belief
in ESP
will not work
every time
you try to hold me
remember i am just a guest in other people's reality
every breath
through these tubes
feels like work

fingerprints to the jail
I was there
but i am just a guest in other people's reality
love letters to the home
tears to the phone
but I am gone

dryer lint, belly button lint, eye crust, hangnails, eyelashes,

pretend you a tooth
it'll drive the boys crazy
pull your eyelashes out

I wore the cloak / I wore the mask
I met the men / I shook their hands
I tried to smile / and tried not to speak
da da da da da da da
I caught a glimpse of something refernced in a nightmare but nothing more
I thought I heard the magic flute sound in the distance but wasn't sure

But as far is time goes the hour is upon us
The most babies are born, and the most people die
when the sleepless are haunted by the lives unlived

1:00
night and dawn
when all the sleepless haunted
all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
see the ways your life should've gone

1:44
voices live inside of the wires
in spite of the timing the
bed bug czar enjoys the window light
the creepy crawly
movable skin
he's at it at again
why not he's drank all the paint

VERSE 1
I wore the cloak / I wore the mask
I met the men / I shook their hands
I tried to smile / and tried not to speak
da da da da da da da
I caught a glimpse of something referenced in a nightmare
I stared for hours in the mirror but there was nothing there
but as far time goes the hour is upon us
it shall be here soon and we all must stay awake
it may claim your life / it may birth your babe
but until is wolf gone home
stay awake with me
till the sunlight kills the insects
and the cannibals gone home
and we'll draw the shades
and right the doors
and paint upon the windows
oh what an island this is
oh what an hour this has been

VERSE 2
I wore the cuff-links / I wore the black tux
tried to think sober / I tried to focus
But my head was weighed down by the wine
then your makeup was on my eyes
and your foot was in my mouth
and your bruise was on my head
and your birds were in my bed
and your friends were tearing at my skin

please leave
before the wolf detects your scent
or the schoolmarm points her pants
and we're all with the meat-eaters
sharing drinks and telling stories of inheritance
oh what a story this is
oh what an hour when
one second feels like an eternity

or be shot to death or sketches

if the wolf could hear you cries he would be
sad that he had fucked
if he had head your warmth tonight he would be
dried to death with marm
