SHAME, SPIN & CLICK I’m running out of chambers One hides a bullet in it You’ve got your name on me Shame on me You put the shame on me I’m running up the numbers I don’t want this roulette in it You bruise your name on me Shame on me You put the shame on me I don’t wanna go home tonight He’s waiting in that chair With the lights out in the room First comes the blame Then comes the rage Then comes the silence I tell him that I barely missed my tram What took you so long Who were you with I know you’re leaving me …and I am The finger’s on the trigger The poison’s in the ring One of these days I swear I’ll be gone One way or another I’ll run out of songs to sing One of these days my days will be done I’m running out of chambers... Spin...and click Maybe he’s not angry after all Trust is difficult to reinstall He says it’s easier to grieve for me If I am dead by his hand He’ll demand: “If I cannot have you Then no one else can have you either You’re mine alone, you understand?” ...by his hand The finger’s on the trigger... I’m running out of chambers... Shame on me, shame on me

Thimble 06:12
THIMBLE Second star to the right Straight on ‘til morning light It seems like a hundred years ago Did we forget how to fly Did we fail not to grow? I whisper ‘hello, boy’ as we sit on your lawn But days of Neverland are long gone After all this time Is it too late now? Clap your hands if you still believe in me See through this metaphor Just what I’m trying to allude to you - Thimble After all this time Is it too late now? Oh, I never tried to lead you on deceivingly Thimble For our heart’s unforeseen vicissitude Violets for remembrance For the faded semblance Of all the pirates we fought together Back in the day When time was some abstract word to say Age just a number far away Can we yet grasp on what it takes at all? For both our sakes, don’t let me fall After all this time... Thimble For my heart’s unforeseen vicissitude Snowfall from snowfall Summer through summery breeze You’ve always been there Now let me be there for you And put your mind at ease After all this time... Thimble For the heart’s unforeseen vicissitude Oh, give me a thimble Can’t you see it’s a symbol or what it represents Thimble, after all this time All this time Give me a thimble Can’t you see it’s a symbol or what it represents Thimble, for your heart And mine

Absurdoscope 04:45
ABSURDOSCOPE There’s no crueler God than love None more generous beyond I choose my own pantheon Your prophets cannot lead me on I’m not in need of a flock to decide for me Nor have I forsaken hope Beelzebub has no devil put aside for me I see it all through absurdoscope I’m not strictly anti-religion I am, tongue in cheek, anti-everything No pre-made mythology can convince me to bow my head No conspiratorial forgery Can resurrect me from the dead I’m not in need of a flock to decide for me...

Flamer 04:21
FLAMER You pseudo-Machiavellian butt-munch Re-inventing the wheel in school philosophy class A Nietzsche-fanboy and a pain in the ass Authority in your clique Loquacious, fantastic So gracious, it’s classic Brilliant and slick I see right through that shtick Hands on your control-stick you little prick Your momma said you’re special And grandma gave your cheek a good pinch Now let me give you my inch Here’s my disclaimer: I’m wasting my time With nothing better to do Than get a rise out of you, oh LaVeyan to your every cell Now take a crayon and spell Just what you’re trying to tell You’re such a lamer Call me what you will I’m over the hill But you’re run-of-the mill A regular whiz-kid with a cereal-box IQ I’ve never met a nihilistic douchebag quite like you A lasting impression and a memorable debut Spew it back at the world that you eschew Your momma said you’re special... I’m over the hill You’re run-of-the-mill Well, ain’t that a pill Your momma said you’re special. And grandma gave your cheek a good pinch Now let me give you my inch Here it comes: If projectile propulsion at people’s your compulsion Then maybe you should start with yourself Laveyan to your every cell... Yeah, I’m a flamer I’m over the hill You’re run-of-the-mill Well, ain’t that a pill

Moths 04:33
MOTHS Moths, like shooting-stars in the headlights Drawn by the unknown Dead in the blink of an eye Small rice-paper corpses on my windshield Animated by the unfeeling air Wings of parchment and bone We dance in the fire Sparks take to the sky We’re drawn to the flame Like we’re anxious to die All fears are erased Only heat still remains The warnings are null While blood boils in our veins We can’t see where we’re going We callously dive Who cares if we perish If we weren’t even alive Recklessly throwing ourselves to the altar we’ve made The joshua trees onlook as I’m driving Through Mojave alone Judging the company I keep The only source of bright illumination Beckons with a ‘devil may care’ And ‘morals aren’t set in stone’ Nights in the desert are cold Hold on to the light We dance in the fire...

Hang Me High 05:14
HANG ME HIGH My pistols were my next-of-kin Gunmetal cradled ‘gainst my skin They’re cold and hard to sleep with, yes But I’m just drawn that way, I guess I’ll hang my hat with the heart-shaped pendant I’ll hang my head as they hang me high Now don’t you go crying for me, you hear? We still had a good run, you and I I’ll hang my hat with the heart-shaped pendant I’ll hang my head as they hang me high Got no last words, got nothing to say ‘Cept good-bye Well sure, I made a stiff or two I made a real mess of things, it’s true But if this will fix it all Then it’s the good judge and jury’s call I’ll hang my hat with the heart-shaped pendant... I’ll leave my boots by the door Wear them if you want, they’re yours now So that’s it then Nothing to add Nothing to say I’ll hang my hat with the heart-shaped pendant I’ll hang my head as they hang me high ...Hell no, I’ll hold my head up high as they hang me high To dry

OF MATTERS DARK AND GREY I browse through someone’s darkest thoughts I stole them stealthily I borrow them for observation I peruse someone’s darkest thoughts Like writing in a tarnished book I read them carefully An analytical evaluation I procure someone’s darkest thoughts ...dark thoughts on lend Here’s music for the borderline insane Prescription for acute cerebral pain It’s music for the borderline insane Melodies to soothe the addled brain Secrets buried deep within Where no one else can see I peer inside the unconscious minds So they’ll come clear to me I claim your dreams of morbid deeds And leave a card in their stead Holding a message from me to you It was always in your head Here’s music for the borderline insane... Here’s music for the borderline - Sounds designed to realign Music for the borderline insane It’s music for the borderline insane Melodies to soothe the addled brain

DEAR MR. STEELE Dear Mister Steele I never met you, I know And now you’re dead Dear Mister Steele I still get songs like Wolf-Moon Stuck in my head I’ll bring about my Ouija-board If that should please thee, lord Summon you back again To dye it all black again Necromantic halloweens Traffic-lights with only greens I’ll summon you back again Just to dye it all black again Hey, Mister Steele You loved your mother I can respect that, for sure I’ve got a momma too, you know Oh, Mister Steele We could’ve met over coffee I’d have play-punched you like a pal “Why you old so-and-so!” I’ll bring about my Ouija-board... Please come back...ooh Come back If this is another morbid joke of yours Come back...ooh With you and Freddie Mercury gone Who do I look up to now? Come back!
