Black Light Burns - The Moment You Realize You re Going To Fall Тексты

How To Look Naked
I had see'd people bleed and I thought I'd seen it all
but my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day.
There are things that I done only seen by the sun
and those things will be buried in my grave.
The crows and the buzzards will pick your bones clean.
No name of your's will be upon the wall.
Hogtied on Halloween and raped by magazines
We line up on the edge to watch you fall.
No one knows you don't take off your clothes
You took to the land like fishes take to sand.
You clambered up your cross to raise your flag.
Made tissue paper sails. Used thread instead of nails.
Your autograph was carved across your back.
We thought that you were done, but then you grabbed your gun.
You pushed and barked and ran full speed ahead.
You tore over the hill. We cannot find you still.
We hit the lights and hoped that you'd be dead.
No one knows you don't take off your clothes.
We hope we'll get to see you fall through the canopy.
With a stomach full of blood, you'll find the ground..
We Light Up
I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like.
You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too,
with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue.
You got your hair tied back and your fur coat on. You call your girlfriends up and then we're gone.
We gonna meet down the street and we're drinking for free,
we pinky shake as you order your martini.
One last round and away we go, we run a little bit late, but make the show.
They were getting pretty friendly in the back of the car.
We gotta fight that crowd to reach that bar.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
Your discotheque won't play my song.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like.
You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too,
with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue.
Well the band goes on, but we digress.
We gotta take the back stairs for roof access.
We can hear the city scream as we yell from the top.
It's 12:19 and we won't stop.
Late night lurks are underground.
Downstairs snares and ugly sounds.
I'm gonna make a proposition that I know you're about.
We're going back to your place to act it out.
And then we'll rage in the city all night long.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
Your discotheque won't play my song.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
The bridge, the tower, the top of the roof. We light up the night and we're taking it to.
House to house, and mouth to mouth. The fire escapes we shake where the sky scrapes.
The flights rise, and they collide. Tonight we will not be denied.
I could see that you were trouble from the moment we met,
but sometimes I've gotta live out what I'm gonna regret.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
Your discotheque won't play my song.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
I Want You To
Drop the ship in the water and don't look back
Paint the stables red and the fire black
We watch the white horse run
White horse ride from the cell in it's cellar
Gonna get inside
Read the face on the shitter right between the ears
As his holes don't close when he's spitting spears
There's an eye of a liar on the other side
And a hole through the chest of the one that died
I want you to
You giveth away because
I want you to
You taketh away because
I want you to
You kiss on the lips because
I want you to
I want you to
Kill a few, kill a dozen, kill another's kin
He's rapping on the pane of the window again
He's got a blade for a tongue and there's snakes for eyes
And his hand's on the handles of a hundred knives
And if they don't fall down you can watch them run
With two bullets in your pocket and a rusty gun
We going three by three to the mountain top
To throw that son of a bitch right off the highest drop
I want you to
You open your mouth because
I want you to
You dance on my heart because
I want you to
You choke on your words because
I want you to
I want you to
The devil won't take my place
I need to touch your pretty face
He don't know your name
But you're all pretty much the same
You wanna be my frown?
I can promise that you'll be let down
You're a whirling dervish
A prude to purchase
Afraid to surface and serve this
Oh baby
I want you to
You pull out the plug because
I want you to
You stick in my guts because
I want you to
You pray on your knees because
I want you to
I want you to
I want you to
You giveth away because
I want you to
You taketh away because
I want you to
You kiss on the lips because
I want you to
I want you to
The Girl In Black
There's a flame in the desert at the foot of the hills
And there's a circle in the sand where the water spills
There's a line up the spine of the girl in black
And it rips through her dress at the small of her back
She's been waiting there to take you through that door
So you can lay her down on the cavern floor
And you'll see the same flame burning in her eyes
As you smear your stink across her inner thighs
You couldn't leave well enough alone
You hold your heart like it's made out of stone
You couldn't leave well enough alone
Alone alone alone
She slithers through the snow like a snake but she's still
And she come's floating through the window without touching the sill
She prefers to make an entrance without using the door
And she'll be standing on your bed before she crosses the floor
She's a will-of-the-wisp as she's swinging her hips
Her breath is like a worm spinning silk from her lips
And tonight spook lights will be seen from your room
And you and her and Jack and I are swimming in gloom
You couldn't leave well enough alone
You hold your heart like it's made out of stone
You couldn't leave well enough alone
Alone alone alone
The Colour Escapes
Come on baby lemme give you a name
And we'll see if you can find a purpose
These faces all look the same
And I can guarantee they're worthless
Some souls are bought and sold
They fold beneath the surface
We cannot take their hands
They'll hold their gold and curse us
The colour escapes, you know
You've seen my heart and it's black as coal
It's not the one that I wanted to show
You were built like a light on a stilt
And I can see you wilt in silence
People stand around waiting for signs
They become blind to your vibrance
They don't look, put their faith in a book
The end result is violence
Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit
It sits on mindlessness
The colour escapes, you know
You've seen my heart and it's black as coal
It's not the one that I wanted to show
Tiger By The Tail
I see, look across the way there
Like flame, giving me the same stare
Eyes locked
Exhibits A and B
You draw a line
Cutting through the air and
Connect
Making us a pair then
It's my hope to get burned
Don't you see?
Big kitty cats don't lick no paws
And little kitty cats don't show no claws
Big kitty cats don't lick no paws
And little kitty cats don't show no claws
I got a tiger by the tail
And I'm gonna give it a little kick
And then a big kiss
It's not safe down on the ground, no
They keep circling around, yeah
You better learn to climb a tree
It's not safe
Not where we at, no
You had better get yourself a bat and
Start swinging away at anything you see
I got a tiger by the tail
And I'm gonna give it a little kick
And then a big kiss
Your Head Will Be Rotting On A Spike
Your head will be rotting on a spike
I don't complain much but I might
Your life's on a loop just like before
You stuff your face and still want more
My head may be rotting on a spike
I don't complain much but I might
Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy
And you will stop seeing
Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find
There's no end to be seen
Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now
That you are not breeding
Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got
Or stop
Our heads they are rotting on their spikes
We can't complain, we lost our sight
As useless as we were before
We stuff our face, but we are sure
We are sore
Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy
And you will stop seeing
Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find
There's no end to be seen
Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now
That you are not breeding
Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got
Or stop
Torch From The Sky
Did you hear as she called
As her voice came down the hall
How it trembled as soft as a little girl?
Towards the knock on the door
I watched you glide across the floor
As you answered a hundred voices spoke
We will crawl through the mud
They will bathe in their own blood
We will take them like a splinter from an eye
And we come in the night
We are made of blackest light
Like a torch falling fast out of the sky
There's no fat in this land
The old heart has left it's hand
So let's sit and watch the distant fires glow
We will steal what we could
We are through being good
We will only be the sum of what you know
Did you hear the awful sound
As they pushed into the town?
I could tell the switch had flipped inside your head
There's no love left to give
We can't hide, we can't live
We are holding hands and walking with the dead
You can take me home
But I can't be alone
I can't be alone
Did you hear as she called
As her voice came down the hall
How it trembled as soft as a little girl?
Towards the knock on the door
I watched you glide across the floor
As you answered a hundred voices spoke
We will crawl through the mud
They will bathe in their own blood
We will take them like a splinter from an eye
And we come in the night
We are made of blackest light
Like a torch falling fast out of the sky
Like a torch falling fast out of the sky
Like a torch falling fast out of the sky
Like a torch falling fast out of the sky
Because Of You
Because of you
I've searched
The back streets to the shore
The river banks
No thanks
It won't feel like before
Because of this
I fish for little bits of time
I memorized your thoughts
And turned them into mine
I thought I'd let you know
I won't be letting go
I won't be turning cheek
I won't be swallowing
I thought I'd let you know
I won't be letting go
I won't be turning cheek
I won't be suffering
Because of you
I waste
The life I thought I made
I throw away what's warm
The colour starts to fade
Because it seems
I dream
Of being somewhere else
I try to find that place
And end up by myself
I thought I'd let you know
I won't be letting go
I won't be turning cheek
I won't be swallowing
I thought I'd let you know
I won't be letting go
I won't be turning cheek
I won't be suffering
Splayed
When you die I'm gonna roll around and laugh on the floor
I'll party like we never had a party before
When you fall I'm gonna be there just to raise up a glass
All dreams fulfilled of putting boots in your ass
You know there's something inside me
Like an animal that's gotta get out
You know there's something inside me
That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth
When I die I'm gonna come back and haunt you for fun
Slam doors, move books, make you pee while you run
When I'm done I'm gonna celebrate my ghostly success
With my invisible penis watching ladies undress
You know there's something inside me
Like an animal that's gotta get out
You know there's something inside me
But it's not me
You know there's something inside me
Like an animal that's gotta get out
You know there's something inside me
That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth
But it's not me
Scream Hallelujah
Now things have turned for the worse
Thought I was so well rehearsed
I guess I'm probably cursed
I just don't know
I beat my head on the wall
I'm trying not to recall
The inevitable fall
And so it goes
I'm struck so shockingly dumb
I know now I can become
The definition of numb
And you can too
So let's all pull out our teeth
And go to sleep like good sheep
Let's watch our TVs and weep
Oh yes
You better Scream Hallelujah
Scream Hallelujah
You better Scream Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Now get the fuck back in line
And pay your taxes on time
And lay around like you're swine
There is no doubt
You live your life on the screen
And talk about what you've seen
A vicarious dream
You won't live out
They put the rails in your head
And as you travel you're led
You can't control what you're fed
But you won't gag
So lock your yourself up indoors
Ignorant media whores
Before you're gasping in your plastic bag
You better Scream Hallelujah
Scream Hallelujah
You better Scream Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I don't want you to go it alone
So I left a little seed and it's grown
But somehow you don't seem
Like one for watering
I'll never ask you why
But these little things, they die
You better Scream Hallelujah
Scream Hallelujah
You better Scream Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Bakelite
Blood is wrong
But always on the corner of the tabletop
A bag of bones that sits and smokes
And laughs at all your stupid jokes
It's such a fuss to fall for love
Not fall in love
To fall
A drug
So smug at first
Then learns the thirst
Gets worse and worse
And all your new found
Hope is gone
But all along
It always was
The same old song
And dance for now
You dance so proud
You sing so loud
You break apart
A work of
I hate myself so full of shits
A giggle fit
For wasting time
And passing by
I settle down
Into a frown
So many years
Of wearing down
And out of this
It's ludicrous to amputate
A simple wish because it sits
Just right outside appropriate
And your
Hope is gone
But all along
It always was
The same old song
And dance for now
You dance so proud
You sing so loud
You break apart
A work of art
Burn The World
Where are we?
Where are we?
We are searching endlessly
I got only one night left
I'm never going to bed
And where is she?
Not free
Brain chained
Lock and key
She got-
A little fever
But it's killing my head
I thought I burned the world
Around me down but now
The sound is clearly calling us
Right back to watch them wind it up
I thought you burned the world
Around you down but now
The sound is clearly calling us
Right back to watch them wind it up again
We fall
We break
It seems real but it's all fake
It's on the television
It's your decision
You walk away with weights on
And you're gonna sink
You're extinct
In your hole
They say you've lost your soul
I know the grass won't grow
So slick, you slipped
But you slid too slow
You know
I thought I burned the world
Around me down but now
The sound is clearly calling us
Right back to watch them wind it up
I thought you burned the world
Around you down but now
The sound is clearly calling us
Right back to watch them wind it up again
Grinning Like A Slit
You can look to the mountain
You can talk to the dead
You can run to the city lights
But it's all in your head
You can look to a stranger
But all you'll find is a wall
You can wish all you want
But no one answers at all
Goodbyes
They are flies
That rise from shit
And I was skinning
A new beginning
While you were grinning
Like a slit
You can try not to cry out
As you wake in the night
You can stare at the blackness
But it's taken your sight
You imagine a face there
That you can almost touch
You can reach all you want
But it's only a crutch
Goodbyes
They are flies
That rise from shit
And I was skinning
A new beginning
While you were grinning
Like a slit
Where are you now?
Where is the crowd?
These sleeping streets
Are speaking aloud
And I couldn't recall
The feeling at all
The moment I realized I was going to fall
