erratic mumbling!
charging the trees and hearing the cries the ten thousand people and the blood and gore free from kings and queens
the kingdom barely builds itself quite keen on residing in the beach front estate gathering percent signs and dollar bills
jumping into the sea of elementary greed
the true lie still exists but hides near your breath greets kids as they pass and the green feathers fall
creates a ditch of nothing the porcelain ceiling falls corrupted surrogate and the no name craze dress itself in happiness
calling it a day searching for the rent quiver from the cold here another phone number
tired like its on fire and the silicone pondering say it again we're drowning in ego and the treacherous don't sleep
and she's pulling on her face say it again killing time thru the hours and minutes burning the sky and the green grass
a kiss near the drinking fountain say it again rolling in white pants seeing the clouds in your mind lighting strikes the hill
say it again (E) In the warmth it wasn’t needed (C#min) But since the cold crept in (A) With the loneliness (C#min) I think it’s needed again (Repeat chord progression) You think you know the rules And the sidewalk at your knee The crowds all kiss your feet Still the silent remain (C) à (G) (Chorus) Your(G) paint(F#)ed (E)smile Your(G) paint(F#)ed (E)smile Your(G) paint(F#)ed (E)smile You wear your saintly slipper Sip your oriental tea The icicles will fall Oh they’re about to fall You just stood there grinning Smile upon your lips Your sweet epiphany sounds While the idea burns my eyes (Chorus) A nine foot string of pearls And your fingernails are laced With some poisonous diamond Keep your fir coat close Welcome to the bonfire The majority creeps in silence They mock your toothless grin And the paint begins to chip (Chorus) As they cremate your opinion You crystallize your gaze Keeping nothing but your pension The clouds seem to waste away Feeling for the brick red wall You make your way down the hall The endless voice of desolation
Begs for nothing but isolation Now that we’ve exhausted all subjects We’re not even speaking The harness of language Has torn our script to pieces And I search and search for ways to please But I find nothing in my small affair Returning to the reigning boredom as it eclipses my mind the gathering apathy whirls twisting its way thru each crevasse and I know its pointless to stir up the dirt but to increase my sensitivity and bridle my obsession just to increase my chances of a living room romance and dark as sandcastles and red as lipstick im a rug for nothing and frozen in awe ooh its nothing really ill deal it out let everyone have a chance and let the ends begin! and the religion is only favors and the top card is thrown to the wolves between red skies and brown furs im accused and burnt but standing still soon the leaves gather as the kingdom melts and still i remain where they put me sleep deprived nostalgic angel so dear and true benevolent reaction tortured and stubbornt hands sold secrecy is well defined ohh she's reaching for her might to forget her generosity such wandering intellect trampled welcome mat bliss tried and true reservations
fixed accomplishements bargain for lost sincerity its kept truth finds its way to the top organized come-backs opened selected as rainy day backdrop she tilts the film so slightly to recognize the simplicity (repeated (possibly)) easily recovered and then lost the age old tale still lingers forever in its fluid vessel sees it as nothing but a bottled ship Have I become nothing but fiction? as the red light screams in my sleep the wandering hour is persistent And the thoughts assemble blank
The walls beckon to and fro As the light sneers at the scene The contemplation of the era All I ask is to know what you mean The tabs push forward And the true gap remains The sweet sweet serenity The corruption is just insane
Feeling for nothing more The long lost trumpet sounds Darkness is part of light
She ascends in her gown The marked pages turn As the chimneys cough and weep Now I know I could taste you
As odd as that may seem Cynical lies and tortured tongues The criminals of the mind Everyone searches for you
But I’m afraid I aint so kind Knowledge and hate guard me And the gates of stupidity snide But nothing can compare to this The mystery of time So my wits are gathered And my hands have become numb But I am still nothing but fiction
and my only time has come Normal days are so slow And yer an endangered species And to fight time is to die
But to lay low is to wither away A radical idea is to rest To escape the sneer of the street To sample silence The clear view of nothing Like a specter drifts Weightless without cares The sky will scream back The statues call you home More is the answer To excess to excel To feel for feeling’s sake Under the candle-lit moon And vapor drifts thru yer mind And her scent is valid An eloquent elegy For the end is gone
