All It Takes 02:54
Railroad workers drilling in the heat of the day Foreman pulls up with a mechanized better way Rendered obsolete by the marching of time John Henry raildriver since the age of nine Mild mannered massive muscled wall of steel Obstinate convictions kill much faster than fear All it takes is a steak in the ground Better grab another robot’s running you down Hammer pounds away and there’s a skip in your heart Keep on hitting harder you were doomed from the start A baby is born and a star rose slowly in the west laying in a manger with the cows and the sheeps and the pests but a cough can kill as well as a knife joseph wasn’t too upset he still had his wife losing your first child ain’t as bad as it seems former earthly father of the son of the king All it takes is an untimely demise better try again and harder this time making love to your wife was your god given job god got her first with his omnipotent rod Soldiers paddling on into the dead of night bloodthirsty warriors brace for the beginning of a fight their leader stood brave on the nose of a boat until he fell and sank into the icy moat water laid siege to his throat and his lungs Washington washed up cold in the morning sun All it takes is a honest heart and a willingness to do a fair bit more than your part doesn’t matter all that much we’ll die in the end trying cleans the filth we’re all drowning in hey

I’m gonna go to sleep and not get well Let the old vices put me under their spell When the black magic’s got me in its grip I swear I’m gonna let myself drown in it When you sleep Your one and only option is to wake sometime Screaming in a fit Because your nights are haunted by some creature always crawling towards you running running gaining ground it might not even catch you now That dream it always ends with your arm stuck in its teeth All the hexes that you cast were protections incomplete Soon the predator will awake you from the bead Peel the sweaty pillow from your terror ridden head Before you mind can process what your eyes cannot unsee You’ll be dead. Feel like I’m fixin’ to die, feel like I’m fixin’ to die Boots on the ground and my head up in the clouds To take a sip Crushed codeine in killer cocktails For him to die For such a mind to take his own life So there come a knocking upon everybody’s door Festivities end quickly everybody hits the floor It will crack upon its hinge The creatures will crawl in The business they conduct is a knife inside your kin All the fears of all the monsters all the trouble that you’ve known All of it is gone Now all that’s left of us is bone Those who loved you gather round with heavy hearts and forlorn frowns To say. Feel like I’m fixin’ to die, feel like I’m fixin’ to die Boots on the ground and my head up in the clouds

I don’t know where my hands have been And I don’t know whose blood this is But how, could it possibly be yours? Honey this mess we made is grand and stupendous Signs of struggle paint the walls When the sun came up this morning I was not fully prepared To drag you by the hair and throw you down the tile stairs I saw his number on the phone and the timing felt just right Screams in the basement haunted me all night All my alcohol will not be wasted on this night Burning down the site of our last fight. When the sun came up this morning I was not fully prepared To drag you by the hair and throw you down the tile stairs I saw his number on the phone and the timing felt just right Screams in the basement haunted me all night Screams in the basement haunted me for the rest of my (fucking) life

Revsubhuman 03:23
The blood and the guts and the greed of the guilty will satiate my hunger when I'm running on empty When the tank runs dry or I lose track of my mind there's a short split second where I change inside Then the teeth come out The claws sink in Chowing down on the flesh of the innocents again On the inside I'm a cannibal so what can you expect? Just the nature of a killer with cover to protect I'm a wolf hiding zipped in the flesh of a man getting caught or getting killed was the end of the plan There was a dream once when I had you But then a wolf came and bit me straight outta the blue See the chances are slim but they're not quite there They're tangible, plausible, and prevalent as the FUR that grows at an accelerated pace Whenever I see that smile on your face The Blood Red snout The matted fur Never ever really mattered very much to her So damn the cover's blown and I never got far dying shot London alleyway a bullet in my heart I'm a wolf hiding zipped in the flesh of a man getting shot or getting killed was the end of the plan When the revsubhuman dies the quiet survives there's a hair thin second when we matched our eyes there's a big cold party where my werewolf died In flight film and a forgettable regret think hard with your heart not with what's above your neck I'm a wolf hiding zipped in the flesh of a man Getting caught or getting killed was the end of the plan

Is It Love? 04:31
Was that the bang, the shot, or the signal to go? “I think if she likes you, you’re forgiven for being slow.” Would you believe if I said I couldn’t think? Our hands interlocked and I felt complete It was the lighter, the house, the torch held high A smoke break lighthouse brought me by Flash of the lights, and the peavy amps I held up a cigarette and I asked you to dance Is it love, is it love, is it love, or god Is it something more fundamental? An attraction between reproductive genes or the perfume on your sweatshirt? We share a look, it’s all a ruse They gave you more oxycotton to abuse Chemo’s a bitch nothing soothes the pain You’re running out of time when it hits your veins You know it could be me or you It might just be the note you found at two in the morning when you rang The panic and fear almost drove me insane Is it love, Is it love, Is it love, oh god Or a deadlocked traffic sickness? That’s why we never let this game begin I love you but we’re scared cause we know how it ends “Where do we go when we finally die?” We used to let those kinds of questions pass us by It’s all too much to wake and see That smoothed shaved head sleeping next to me The sun doesn’t rise from east to west It climbs the sky in time with your breath Should those lungs stop drawing air That man upstairs better Be Prepared Is it love, Is it love, Is it love, if you’re gone? And I’ve been a dead man walking for so fucking long I swear I’d hold that flame for you That’s just what I intend to do I know where I’ll go when I finally die I’ll stand young and proud right by your side solo IS IT LOOOOOOOVEEEEEEeeeeeeeee….. IS. IT. LOOOOOVVVEEEEEEEeeeeeeee……
