In On The Killtaker lyrics

Crush my calm you cassavetes
I was sitting tight so quiet quiet
In the dark till the lights came up my heart
Beating like a riot riot
Hollywood are you sitting on a sign
For someone to come on bust a genre
You poor city of shame
Ask me what you're needing
I'll sell you his name
cos he was the one to send it with truth
That's something from someone

Pride no longer has definition
everybody wears it, it always fits
a state invoked for lack of position
strength is the bait that keeps us busy
if it's perforated, then tear it to bits
all sense was lost in the frenzy

they should never...
touch the ground

irony is the refuge of the educated
always complaining but they never quit
cool's eternal, but it's always dated

Got a lot of questions for me You got a lot of questions for me Got your finger pointing at me Distrusted I look for wires when I'm talking to you You'd make a great cop

That one is predetermined
That one, it finds another
This one comes in one window
Sliding out the other
We need an instrument to take a measurement
To find out if loss could weigh
We need to know value
We need to place value
In case it all comes true
Could it be loss could weigh?
It's always they that's dying
But now it's we that's dying

Coughing inside your coffin
like at the bottom of the sea
inside you're breathing
too numb for asking
so I will leave it outside your door
warning the threat of morning that just extends you another day
some lights were shining
not much for seeing
but you'll be leaving the way you came
shot shooting shot shot shot
shooting yourself again for what
to taste all the waste

The eyes have it and the eyes always will The eyes have it and they're watching you still Public witness charter - look out don't touch Public witness says he's seeing too much I like to walk around it And i'm paid to stand around Public witness seen it all

Why don't you come to my house
Why don't you drag me right out
Past all the shit that i said i'm saying
Why don't you cut up my mouth
And i don't care what you use
Just don't ask me to choose
I forced a field to allow you
That's not so easy to do
I said I said what I said I want you to help me
Surrender rend it it's yours
Out in the open
We're wide open

A fine disservice
Deceptive, too
Check for the sender
Sender was you
Caught me wide open
No simple burn
This is complicated
Calls for return
Fine disservice
Intended, too
Check for the sender
Sender was you
The point has been recorded,
The malice has been revealed
When I stripped away the humor
From the arrow it concealed
Sharpened and soaked in urine,

Smallpox champion u s of a
Give natives some blankets
Warm like the grave
This is the pattern cut from the cloth
This is the pattern designed to take you right out
This is the frontier with winter's so cold
Greed informs action where action makes bold
To take all the cotton that's cut from the stalk
Weave the disease that's gonna take you right out

Fragile stem
Asleep at the stoplight again
Red dressed in red drenched in red spreading red ever red
Fragile stem
Veering for control again
Change lanes explain how strain defers the impact of speed
On on past gone gone gone past on
Fragile stem
Made your own road again
Scars crash and glass made
You laugh you'd show it off to your friends

You're washing away everything
The world means nothing to a dreamer
Their puppets on their strings on the TV screen
It means nothing to me Cardboard believers in nothing

If I could run away, if I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

The windows are open now, clean free for dreaming
Arms open to the world and all for needing nothing
