And preach your killing Faith. Why are you still here? For those who wear the cloaks of knowing Trust One day soon you’ll have to bleed… You’ve heard a people crying out And yet you’ve nothing left to say… You’ve traded Holy Scripture and the Sacred Scrolls For amusement rides on Dante’s path… Can you keep your promises of Love? And swallow all that Hate. And when the day arrives When the sun won’t shine… And when the Horsemen ride They’ll gather dues of pride… And when our Seas return Forgotten dead and lost… You may ask yourself – Have I lost my mind? And… Why are you still here?Trust My times have been changing I don’t believe I can trust you anymore I know you call me at my home I can hear you can knocking at my door I can see you on the corner And I know I need a little more Vigilance is a matter to maintain And an honesty of trust I’m afraid I’ve lost I can hear the words you speak so sweet and soft I know the promise that you’ve made I’ve heard the lessons that you’ve taught I live the life I’ve had to trade You’ve shared a better way to live And yet I suffer pain and loss I read your books of hope and life I hear a voice and judge my prayer I hear you beckon at my lust I’ve walked these miles of your trust I’ve seen your knowing smiles And I dread the empty miles I sit in rooms filled with anger, doubt and fear I listen to our stories of how it’s always been I’ve got a swollen ego that never seems to let it go And I’ve got questions for my sins I’ve taken moments of atonement and amends I’ve bowed my head and known the silence of my God Once again you’ve called my name And now you’ve burned my soul again I’ve lost the battle from within my flesh I do not blame you for the truth about myself If my resolve were any stronger I may have been a soul once called If my faith had not been weakened We may have found ourselves in a different place Liquid Bleach Unreal portraits On my 16.9 In pixel counts and resolution On my HDTV screen Printing headshots For eating bugs Maybe I can win that brand new car… In the name of Real TV Animated funny frogs Computer Dude Unleashed from Hell Selling culture bit by bit How real can Coca-Cola be? When it’s been cut without the coke Is Pepsi just another wrap? Pushing porn and tasteless crap Where has my Mayberry gone? And how could a 3-hour tour have gone so wrong? I miss the adventure of Maxwell Smart And when did we all lose our sense of humor? My dirty laundry needs a measurement… My wife’s got Mother’s Little Helpers My Kid takes Ritalin for his ADD And I got Viagra blues for my EDD I’m thinking now I’ll take a shot of liquid bleach And now I’m thinking I’ll take that shot of liquid bleach Say now I’m thinking I’d like another shot of liquid bleach… Best Thing The best thing about leaving you is that you're never far... The best thing about leaving me is that you're never far... We light the flame that gave me hope but the dreams I'll never see... I search for the place you've never been to make your mark again... I've heard 'em say the more you learn the more you're bound to grow... Who the hell wants to be ten feet tall? And where's the meaning when you fall? And when I think I'm over you you call me back for more... The best thing I've ever had was you and now my friend and closer foe... every wish is gone, gone, gone: The memories, pleasures and the pain... With Mephisto's grin you pierce my vein... And run your dagger through my heart... Mansion Maze: Copyright 2006 Lyrics: John Swarts, Patrick J. Carley |
