Here's a lampshade I spray painted green A deck of cards without any queens Take this basket full of tangerines You get it all for $1.83 It's the yard sale of the apocalypse Bring cash and your shopping list This here's a watch that doesn't wind The perfect clock if you don't follow time May I present a rack that holds 12 ties Make that 7, okay maybe 5 It's the yard sale of the apocalypse Bring cash and your shopping list When we reach the end of days I want nothing left, nothing to save Like a coffin built by murderers I'm just planning ahead for the future Selling my soul and the furniture I think I've given up There's no returns so keep that in mind Make sure you're good with the buy Take all you want I'll be just fine I won't need it in the afterlife It's the yard sale of the apocalypse Bring cash and your shopping list When we reach the end of days I want nothing left, nothing to save

And the Days are long The nights are colder now He will soon be coming home He brings his kill back for his family to feast upon And he Walks so proud But the end he sees in his near future He calls his kids in from outdoors As he closes up his home once again And the cross he wears around his neck Reminds him of lost innocence at least that's what he says For his wolvish ways And a Coffin built by murderers will soon end his days Depending on how long he can keep giving them the slip And he knows this well as he roams his land He falls in the traps of his predator's hands But somehow always gets away he crawls outdoors quiet as the winter air Yet sometimes he howls at the sky telling everyone he's there Back out on the prowl He tears the necks from birds before they scream their final words For he knows the game so well Returning to the den to feed his family again And it's in his blood to live this way His father came before and acted just the same He'll make sure his pack is safe until the evenings end Then he'll retire once again

Listen to the talk among the stars Deafening echoes from afar Greed lust anger and villainy Dark vibrations of our energy And on this planet We walk alone Support the masses Controlled like drones Attach devices And fulfill our dreams In life's relection On digital screens The streets are the march of arid clones Who follow collective undertones The singular mind will suffocate Replaced by functions that automate And on this planet We walk alone Support the masses Controlled like drones Attach devices And fulfill our dreams In life's relection On digital screens Silicon fancy in your eyes Virtual life to eroticize Surrender your soul to sub-routines And electric coffins, built by murder machines And on this planet We walk alone Support the masses Controlled like drones Attach devices And fulfill our dreams In life's relection On digital screens

Murders in the rue morgue Victims left behind Coffin built by murderers Messing with your mind Two minutes to midnight Ticking like a bomb Knife cuts deep and easy Here and then your gone Over the wall, under the bed There are dark days coming, dark days coming Standing alone quick or be dead Dark days coming dark days up ahead V2 Seven deadly secrets Never be revealed Wallowing and suffering Parole has been appealed Twisting ever slowly Hanging on the line Watching everything go blank In a moment left behind

Do do… Aw I forgot to do the thing I’ll just have to wing it Do do do do… First I had some coffee and then I had some more and then I had a sandwich and just wanted to snore I thought about the thing but I wasn't in the mood And then I got distracted Do do… Do do… Aw I forgot to do the thing I’ll just have to wing it Do do do do... A coffin made by murderers have coffee made from furry turds I scoff at all your blurry words Amen Do do..

He had a coffin made by murderers as he laid to rest Not just one, but his & hers, when she follows next Li di di di di --- A boat made of paper as he floats to the sea The people all stop & stare while he sails in the breeze Li di di di di And when we touch down On the world where we'll live now We'll blend with the clouds And hide underground He had a strange view of the world and the people he saw Their hearts would sometimes turn to the pictures he'd drawn Li di di di di And when we touch down On the world where we'll live now We'll blend with the clouds And hide underground -- some sort of solo -- He had a coffin made by murderers as he laid to rest

As I lie awake in a coffin built by murders I can’t escape The 3am eternal internal Dive in the mind To the dry well Dust, mold and cobwebs Tired windows candles burnt at both ends I am so afraid The spark that once raged In a beautiful bloom Will forever be gray Ash and dismay Clear canvas of doom As I lie awake in a coffin built by murders I contemplate Is apathy or atrophy going to be the death of me? Well, hell no I won’t go down that way Begging and pleading Blackness envelopes me

about

This week’s key phrase comes from Jerry: “A coffin built by murderers.” You’re welcome, Mitchell.
