about

Thou Shall not bear false witness against thy Neighbor.

lyrics

Well she says meet me in the ally way Cause I’m tired of the spotlight
The air is just a little thinner here than it was back out on Trade Street
And the water that runs over me can only make me cleaner
While the dirt that rushes off of me is really just a memory
We’ve all been aided, and elated Desecrated, and Degraded
While the public eye that watches us Will only be dilated
As they’ll see us as we are Instead of falsely as we want to be
I say give them what we got! Show em exactly who we are not!
She sends letter to my mailbox cause she says they mean much more
When they’re written with the pen and not just typed out on the paper
They speak of marching to the capital and overthrowing governments
She says it’s just how I think of love Even though it isn’t relevant
She says if I was just a baby would our love be any different
Would you hold me and protect me just like you have before
Well I’m sorry that I’m cynical I said Love is just a dirty word
When it’s coming straight from you, so do what you need to do.
I’m spending evenings on the freeway with the bats under the moonlight
While you’re busy dodging traffic I’ll be hanging with the animals
Because we’re really not so different and our looks are much the same
We both use our eyes see our prey and our hands and mouths to conquer them
See it only takes a little bit of our own self stimulation
To admit that we don’t care too much for the past and present tense
Because we’re living for the moment it never turns out how we planned it
She says “I thinks that I see Jupiter” While I’m busy aligning Planets.
But no matter what we sell, in time we’ll blow em all straight to hell!!
See my heart is like a halfway house My Mind is like a nursery
Not the kind where flowers come to bloom But the kind where children cry and scream
And I sometimes hold my breath for fear that others want to breathe it
And I always say too much and learn that no one wants to hear it
Cause we’re all a little scared because we’re always getting older
And the first one to act up will be the first one in the cellar
Where you’ll think about your rights and wrongs you’ll think about what you have done
Well let me just get one thing clear I’ll be the first to be thrown down there

If you want to see the world, Well I’ve got a long extension cord!

While she found faith in the Synagogues She found love under the bed sheets
And the moans she made from passion were the same sounds heard on Sunday
Because we’re all a little different in the way we find Religion
And whatever works the best will be the reason you’re forgiven
Cause we’re all created from the earth and derived from different chemicals
The things that make us different are the same things that we will repent
She says forgive me for my anger Forgive me but it makes me wet
I say forgiveness doesn’t count when I’m not your lord and savior
So save your sorrows and your pains for someone who can help you change.
Well in the dirty corners there is always room for cleaning
And she swears she’s doing well since she’s taking medication
She says she died once in a laundry mat and she died once in the gutter
But whatever doesn’t kill you Seems to always make you stutter
Well I write my lines more sinister they call me their Excalibur
Cause I’m colder than a stone Till the right one grabs a hold you know
You say you don’t believe in god today well I won’t believe in you tomorrow
And so this chapter ends So Fuck you and your friends
