01- Vicarious
i own the tv 'cause tragedy thrills me
whatever flavor it happens to be
like. . .
"killed by the husband"
"drowned by the ocean"
"shot by his own son"
"she used a poison in his tea
and kissed him goodbye"
it's my kind of story
it's no fun 'til someone dies
don't look me at like i am a monster
frown out your one face
but with the other stare like a junkie into the tv
stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child
watches him die
hands to the sky
crying "why, oh why?"
'cause i need to watch things die (from a distance)
vicariously, i live while the whole world dies
you all need it too, don't lie
why can't we just admit it?
we won't give pause until the blood is flowing
neither the brave nor bold will write us the story so
we won't give pause until the blood is flowing
i need to watch things die (from a good safe distance)
vicariously, i live while the whole world dies
you all feel the same so
why can't we just admit it?
blood like rain falling down
drawn by grave and ground
part vampire
part warrior
carnivore and voyeur
stare at the transmittal
sing to the death rattle
incredulous at best is your desire to
believe in angels in the hearts of men
pull your head on out your hand please
and give a listen
i shouldn't have to say it all again
the universe is hostile, so impersonal
devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been
we all feed on tragedy (it's like blood to a vampire)
vicariously, i live while the whole world dies
much better you than i. . .

lyrics interpreted by guncheck
[even] the king's mountain view
[even] the wild dream come true
feast like a sultan i do
on treasures and flesh never few
but i... i would
wish it... all away
if i... thought i'd
lose you just one day
the devil has had me down
in love with the dark side i'd found
dabbled in it on the way down
up to my neck soon to drown
but you changed that all for me
lifted me up turned me round
so i.. i.. i.. i...
i would, i would, i would
wish this all away
live like a martyr dusk to dawn
beg like a hooker all night long
tempted the devil with my song
and got what i wanted all along
but i, i would, if i could, i would
wish it away, wish it away
wish it all away
wanna wish it all away
no price you could hold sway
or just to find my, kneeling away my, saturn
so if i could i would wish it all away
if i thought tomorrow would take you away
you my piece of my mind, my own, my saturn
just trying to hold on... one more day
dim my eyes
dim my eyes
dim my eyes if they should
compromise our hope
or what you need
if i believed it
i might as well be gone
shine on forever
shine on benevolent son
shine on upon the broken
shine on until the two become one
shine on forever
shine on benevolent son
shine on upon the severed
shine on until the two become one
divided and we will wither away
divided and we will wither away
shine on upon the many
light a way benevolent son
brave in you
young brave in you
young brave in you
young brave in you
you're so as one survived
another day in [seasons]
silently just say your prayers
silently just stay out of my way
03 - Wings for Marie (pt 1)
you. you...
you believed in moments not conceived
you believed in me
a patient in spirit
uncompromise
without us in your heart
a light in your eyes that ends all lies
vacant, broken
fell in pains [?]
will you pray for me soon[?]
what have I done to be a son to an angel
what have I done
to be worthy
daylight dims
leaving cold flouresence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this selfish question but
don't know what to say to all these ghouls tonight
she never told a lie, but might have told a lie
but never lived one
didn't have a life, didn't have a life
but surely saved on
alright, now it's time for us to let you go
04 - 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie pt 2)
lyrics interpreted by guncheck
listen to the tales and romanticise
how we follow the path of the hero
boast about the day when the rivers overrun
how we rised to the height of our halo
listen to the tales as we all rationalise
our way into the arms of the savior
fading all the trials and the tribulations
none of us have actually been there
not like you
ignorant fibbers in the congregation
gather around spewing sympathy
spare me
none of them can even hold a candle up to you
blinded by choices hippocrites won't seek
but nothing but the collective judas'
who could deny you were the one who would have made it
you'll have a piece of the divine
this little light of mine
the gift you passed onto me
i'll let it shine
to guide you safely on your way
your way home
what are they going to do when the lights go down
without you guide them home to zion
what are they going to do when the river is overrun
other than tremble incessantly
high as a wave but i'll rise on up on the ground
you are a light, and a wave, that they will only read about
i only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out
ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
you're going home
you're the only one who can hold your head up high
shake your fist at the gates saying:
i have come home now
fetch me the spirit
the son, and the father
tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
it's time now, my time now
give me my, give me my, wings
give me my
give me my wings
you are a light, a wave
that they will only read about
set as i am in my ways and my arrogance
burnin all through [something] believers
you were my witness
my eyes, my evidence
judith marie, unconditional one
daylight dims
leaving cold flouresence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this bold suggestion
should you see your maker's face tonight
look em in the eye
look em in the eye, and tell them
i never lived a lie, never took a life
but surely saved one, hallelujah
it's time for you to bring me home

10 - Right in Two
Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they’re all confused.
Don’t these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Playing in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Well there’s one who's bound to divide it
Right in two
Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
This is what they choose.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over a piece of other ground.
Silly monkeys given thumbs,
they forge a blade, and then theres one bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over a pieces of ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club
and beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant dismal? creature, who would squander the other
they dont have to lie to have a conscience, ? others inside here
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two
???????
fight over life, over love,
fight over love, over truth, over another
Angels on the sideline again
Been so long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering where this tug of war will end
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two
Right in two
