I’m not asking, I’m telling you
This air’s not for whispers
Too much time was spent on these walls
Mine just caved in
only fists like hammers will make amends)
It spins so slow
Affecting every blow
A nosebleed in control
The purpose
Played out in front of me
Now gone without trace
I’ll re-inforce the barriers
Lace them with perfect cold chrome
It’s where I seem most as one
That fortress will be my home

Every Word A Riot (live)

Oh your lips when they move
They move like scalpels, baybeh
Your tongue, fast, smooth
Oh your lips when they move
Those kisses, like shrapnel shrapnel shrapnel SHRAPNEL
The only way to truly get to know you is to dissect you, baybeh
Inch by inch Layer by layer Slit by slit
Brick by brick Piece by piece by piece by piece by piece by PIECES!
Her every word a riot
Delivered with predatory perfection
Too much too much too much too much
Of everything is never enough
The want the want the want the want now WAIT
Had to shun the touch, shun the touch
And dude, I needed it bad, just not all at once Not all at once

Tie the knot wear the mask pull the rope hang rot in the sun
for as long as time stands still right now darling right now darling
dance dance show us bruised bent waiting waiting gagged bound happy happy
it’s a go-go knife go-go knife (I said GO-GO KNIFE) late nite show

A familiar sense of purpose rushed over him
He felt raw, defined
There was sweat on his lips
He had her kiss them
Oh, the shivers down that spine
They all acted like he’d expect
He knew what came next
A definition, his piece in the puzzle
For each time seemingly closer closer closer to the core
And now, again, he was whole
But she was down down down down, out for the count
But he was whole
She was ruined
He was ready
She was down down down down, out for the count
In for the kill
OVER

I’ll see to it
And make sure
Ooooh, what’s that sound?
Never reserved a ticket
There was no extra seat
I’m on the guest list
To witness your defeat
Egos breaking!
What’s that sound?
Egos breaking!
Ooooh, what’s that sound?
Egos breaking!
What’s that sound?
Egos breaking!

So you’re tired of being left a secret and not much more
You said you’d let go
Pitching all too familiar stories
Variations on a melodrama
Only different rooms
Petty morals adding inches to every past mistake
In tiny cities with bigger wounds
So you’re tired of being left a secret and not much more
You said you’d let go
Every clue just might be the truth
Tasted every tongue
Fingers clutching every neck
Sweet nothings lurking in every bed
Every womb is a tomb
Memorabilia will only slow you down
Should’ve gotten out, but you can’t
Each breath a ghasp
Every word a whisper
The tide is rising
(You said you’d let go)

The office romance
The office romance
The office romance
Is gonna LAST LAST LAST for as long as we’re both here
There’s nothing like some corporate adultery,
and honey: my conscience’s on sick leave
The office romance
The office romance
The office romance
Is gonna LAST LAST LAST for as long as we’re both here
We’re climbing the de-evolutionary ladder
Labrats stuck in a loop
The days of collapse will never hit us now that we’ve got this sweet release
Only the surveillance cams will know
We’ll slither through the grids
We’ll press delete
We’ll keep our desks clean
We’ll mess up the sheets
It’ll be like daytime TV
Re-runs of our prime
Petty carnal crime
Blessed overtime
The office romance
The office romance
The office romance
Is gonna last for as long as we’re both here
My secretary may think she’s prey
But compared to you, honey
She’s…just…mere…BAIT!
Sent off into boiling light
Where they’re headed
It feels quite right
The office romance
The office romance
The office romance
Is gonna last for as long as we’re both here
