      Lyrics

      Evolution

      Dissolution

      Rise

      One solution

      One takes you beyond

      This love

      And mine

      Before I

      Leave

      Time

      Aaaah

      Love

      This day

      Love

      Love

      Love is his claim

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “I had this mellow guitar riff that was very simple--almost a ballad-- and we kept messing around with it. And one day, we thought, ‘What if we played it really loud.’ And that was it. Suddenly it transformed into this beastly thing.” Billy Corgan

      “We’ve learned a lot of lessons over the years about not taking songs at face value when they emerge. I think that’s something Flood taught us along the way. ‘Doomsday Clock’ started off almost a folk calypso number and it turned into this . . . Apocalypso. We’re believers that a good song is a good song whether it’s played on an electric guitar or a zither.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Is everyone afraid?
      Is everyone ashamed?
      They’re running towards their holes, to find out
      Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
      A message to our friends to get out
      There’s wages on this fear
      Oh so clear
      Depends on what you’ll pay to hear
      They’re bound to kill us all
      In whitewashed halls
      Their jackals lick their paws
      Please don’t stop
      It’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop?
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      Not broken
      I love life every day
      In each and every way
      Kafka would be proud, to find out
      I’m certain of the end
      It’s the means that has me spooked
      It takes an unknown truth to get out
      I’m guessing I’m born free, silly me
      I was meant to beg from my knees
      Please don’t stop
      It’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop?
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      These lonely days when will they ever stop?
      We gotta dig in, gas masks on
      Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
      If this is living?
      Sakes alive!
      Well then they can’t win
      No one survives
      Is everyone afraid?
      You should be ashamed
      Apocalyptic screams
      Mean nothing to the dead
      Kissing that ‘ol sun
      To know all there is
      Come on, last call
      You should want it all
      Ah, it’s lonely at the top
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop
      This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
      These lonely days
      When will they ever stop
      This ticking in my heart
      Is everyone afraid?

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That’s a sexy song made by two men living in a house alone together for four or five months in Scottsdale. There needed to be some sexiness somewhere.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That song was another one that I brought to Arizona with me. And right away it sounded like ‘95 Pumpkins, like it could have been right off of the Mellon Collie record. I feel sorry for Jimmy because he has to hear me complain about such things. And we went back to what Flood taught us and tried the song some other ways. One day we just changed the beat, and it just made the song.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      They say that life ain’t easy

      They’ll say your life’s a crime

      Destroy up all good reason

      How I’m alive

      They’ll say that nothing matters

      Not even your will to survive

      Of course I love you baby

      ‘Cause I’m alive

      Yes, I’m alive

      Whenever I call you out

      Whenever I draw you round

      Whenever is here and now

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      They’ll say you’ll lose your nerve soon

      To claim identity

      Disgrace our sacred promise

      With no belief

      Oh, how I believe in you

      That’s the way my love is, for you

      That’s the way my love is, for you!

      I feel a coming age now

      I feel a dawn in me

      A certain sun keeps rising

      On my belief in you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way i care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      Lyrics

      No matter where you are
      I can still hear you when you drown
      You’ve traveled very far
      Just to see you I’ll come around
      When I’m down
      All of those yesterdays
      Coming around
      No matter where you are
      I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, “scream”)
      You traveled very far
      You traveled far, like a star
      And you are
      All of those yesterdays
      Coming around
      Is it something someone said?
      Was it something someone said?
      Yesterday the sky was you
      And I still feel the same
      Nothing left for me to do
      And I still feel the same
      I wish, I wish I could fly
      I wish, I wish I could lie
      I will, I will try
      I will, I will
      Goodbye

      Lyrics

      Faith lies in
      The ways of sin
      I chased the charmed
      But I don’t want them anymore
      And in their eyes I was alive
      A fool’s disguise
      Take me away from you
      Shame my tongue
      Fat with promise all along
      But when I woke up from that sleep
      I was happier than I’d ever been
      When you decide
      That your life is a prize
      Renew and revive
      It’s alright honey
      It’s alright, yeah
      Happiness will make you wonder
      Will I feel OK?
      It scares the disenchanted
      Far away
      Yeah I want something new
      But what am I supposed to do about you
      Yeah I love you, it’s true
      Life’s a bummer
      When you’re a hummer
      Life’s a drag
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Ask yourself a question
      Anyone but me
      I ain’t free
      Do you feel
      Love is real?

      Lyrics

      The world is a vampire, sent to drain
      Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
      And what do I get, for my pain
      Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
      But can you fake it, for just one more show
      And what do you want, I want to change
      And what have you got
      When you feel the same
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Tell me I’m the only one
      Tell me there’s no other one
      Jesus was an only son
      Tell me I’m the chosen one
      Jesus was an only son for you
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      And I still believe that I cannot be saved

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “It started off as this weird little shuffle thing. We were arguing back and forth in November of ‘05 whether we should have a shuffle on the record. Billy wanted a shuffle. So it became a search for a new way to do a shuffle. We were also listening to Fela, all these 14-minute Nigerian jams and watching documentaries about him. So we went down this road of seeing how power can come from repetition.” Jimmy Chamberlin “In Pumpkins logic, if you’re going to make people wait for six minutes for the payoff, the money shot better be good. Ultimately, this became the musical statement of the album. The drum take is one of Jimmy’s crowning achievements. It’s worth the price of admission. Lyrically, the song reflects the decision I made when we were in Scottsdale to stop watching all network or cable news. I noticed the effect that had on me–I stopped being afraid. In general, I’m not afraid of getting on the stage in front of 60,000 people, so why should I be afraid of a plane crashing into my house? I was trying to wrap my head around the way we’re being force-fed a level of paranoia. It’s a personal reflection on what it all means. The ‘revolution’ in the lyrics isn’t the revolution of picking up a gun. That’s never worked, and it never will work. Jesus was right.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      Tired eyes

      Closed for days

      There’s no regret

      ‘Cause there’s no place

      I don’t know

      What I believe

      But if I feel safe

      What do I need

      A home

      A home

      A home

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      Dulcet tongues

      Whisper fast

      The future yearns

      Right now’s the past

      Rouse me soon

      The end draws nigh

      Who’s side are you on?

      Your blood you cannot buy

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to you

      Well I

      I feel alright

      So tonight

      I got to ask you why

      Why deny it

      It’s no surprise

      I’ve got to survive

      Freedom shines the light ahead

      I’ll lead the last charge to bed

      I said my last rights

      I don’t have to run scared no more

      Fight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      At the light

      At the light

      Do you wanna watch me die

      Let me be something good

      Let me prove something real like I should

      Let me embrace every single living thing

      Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

      Lyrics

      We’ll wander off through the dead of night
      Past wastelands of shattered souls
      Warm by my firelight
      I peer into the darkness alone
      As the Indian Summer of my remembrance
      Settles on my bones
      Cracked and weary, I ask for direction home
      Home, let the word spill from my mouth
      Love, love is everything I want
      I’m one of many more to come
      Love, love is everything I want
      Crossroads outside of town
      The heartbroken faces shine
      The city lights so far and dull
      Turning left I know it’s time
      With an urgent wind upon my rolling heals
      To carry me along
      My face downcast, I turn to ruins past and home
      Home, let the word spill from my mouth
      Love, love is everything I want
      I’m one of many more to come
      Love, love is everything I want
      We’ll wander off through the dead of night
      Past terrors and broken homes
      Wipe the sleep from under your eyes
      Of riverbanks and catacombs
      Sleep into the bee and the sea
      I was to live this life alone
      Lay down Caligula
      Cry out, I know it’s time
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want
      Love is everything I want

      “This was one of the songs we had earmarked for Roy Thomas Baker to produce. As we later told Roy, we had heard all these stories about him being completely insane which turned out not to be true. He’s one of the most hard-working, aware and brilliant people we’ve ever worked with and we couldn’t wait to hear what he did with that song.” Billy Corgan

      “For me that track is all about Roy–the way he produced, that drum sound. Roy doesn’t produce songs; he produces moments. We were constantly trying our best to put a smile on Roy’s face.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Shot down I stood
      Withstood my neighborhood
      I got it wrong
      But I could
      Follow love lest I learn
      It’s light
      To bring the light
      I fought with all my might, with light
      Oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so good and right
      But tonight you’ll never need another sound
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light to me
      Here and gone oh I trust
      You’d spit upon my dust
      And mix my ash with your blood
      A son of god you know you must arrive
      In the light
      Bring the light, let’s bring the light
      Light, oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      It’s yours not mine
      If you just want to survive
      Go grab a glimpse of any star in heaven’s high
      I never felt so real and loved and alive
      No shadows follow me unsung
      In the light, bring the light to me
      A flower song, clear and bright
      Is it wrong, in neon white?
      To insist you are mine
      Standing dumb in the light
      Bring the light
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light!
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so real and right and alive
      Don’t let them steal from you what’s yours by right
      Light, bring the light
      You know there comes a place and time
      You can’t deny
      With every movement shadows cast and align
      Bring the light, bring the light
      Bring the light let’s bring the light
      Light, bring the light

      Lyrics

      To the center of the earth
      Or anywhere god decides
      Full of fever pulling forth
      We hear our call as all
      And to the center of the earth
      As if written in
      And dna is reaching out
      To your frequency
      I want to live
      And don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      All in prayer
      Prayer in all
      All are scared
      Scared of all
      Black rooms are calling
      To men in leather coats
      White labs are cooking
      Up the silver ghost
      The glass migrates under
      Her translucent skin
      And all the spiders wonder
      What we’ve got us in
      All is you
      You are all
      All with you
      You in all
      I want to live
      I don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      So, it’s all very obtuse
      Because it’s all like, like, I don’t know
      So, like, I started thinking
      That everything I operate on
      Is based on what I believe god was telling me to do
      God could be my intuition or whatever
      But I always assume
      I always assume that the voice I hear is the voice of god
      Then I started thinking
      What if I’m insane
      So I’m operating on the premise
      That I’m hearing the voice of god
      Or what I perceive to be god speaking to me
      Or through me
      But maybe I’m completely in…
      So all my…
      Demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance
      My, my..
      Thinking that my life has importance
      My, my, my thought of it
      And the fact that I believe that I’m following my intuition
      Which in and of itself may be completely false
      So then I started freaking out thinking…
      Of itself may be completely false
      And again this creature that believes that he’s acting upon
      Heavenly intuition, but meanwhile he’s totally rampant
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      So beats the final coda
      Of our vinyl storm
      One more cherry cola
      To lift up her dead arms
      A dream of soft focus sunsets
      Filters through the din
      We are losing contact
      As she dials it in
      She can hear glass calling
      Or is it someone that looks like him
      She eyes TV reflection
      And nods a knowing look
      She says it doesn’t matter
      She’d never liked her looks
      I have seen a thousand fractures
      I have seen everything
      Cause knowing is its own answer
      Love something in a book
      There’s not much left to ponder
      Not much left to cook
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders, oh

      Lyrics

      Shakedown 1979
      Cool kids never have the time
      On a live wire
      Right up off the street
      You and I should meet
      Junebug skipping like a stone
      With the headlights pointed at the dawn
      We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
      And I don’t even care
      To shake these zipper blues
      And we don’t know
      Just where our bones will rest
      To dust I guess
      Forgotten and absorbed
      Into the earth below
      Double cross the vacant and the bored
      They’re not sure just what we have in store
      Morphine city slippin’ dues
      Down to see
      That we don’t even care
      As restless as we are
      We feel the pull
      In the land of a thousand guilts
      And poured cement
      Lamented and assured
      To the lights and towns below
      Faster than the speed of sound
      Faster than we thought we’d go
      Beneath the sound of hope
      Justine never knew the rules
      Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
      No apologies ever need be made
      I know you better than you fake it
      To see that we don’t even care
      To shake these zipper blues
      And we don’t know
      Just where our bones will rest
      To dust I guess
      Forgotten and absorbed
      Into the earth below
      The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
      As you can see there’s no one around

      Lyrics

      I know

      We’re just like old friends

      We just can’t pretend

      That lovers make amends

      We are

      Reasons so unreal

      We can’t help but feel

      That something has been lost

      But please

      You know you’re just like me

      Next time

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers down the line

      Lovers out of time

      Memories unwind

      So far I still know who you are

      But now I wonder who I was

      Angel

      You know it’s not the end

      We’ll always be good friends

      But the letters have been sent on

      So please

      You always were so free

      You’ll see

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers when we meet

      Strangers on the street

      Lovers while we sleep

      Perfect

      You know this has to be

      We always were so free

      We promised that we’d be

      Perfect

      Lyrics

      Twilight fades through blistered avalon

      The sky’s cruel torch on aching autobahn

      Into the uncertain divine

      We scream into the last divide

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Sheila rides on crashing nightingale

      Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails

      With blushing brilliance alive

      Because it’s time to arrive

      You make me real

      You make me real

      Strong as I feel

      You make me real

      Lately I just can’t seem to believe

      Discard my friends to change the scenery

      It meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      But now it’s just a matter of grace

      A summer storm graces all of me

      Highway warm sing silent poetry

      I could bring you the light

      And take you home into the night

      You make me real / lately I just can’t seem to believe

      You make me real / discard my friends to change the scenery

      Strong as I feel / it meant the world to hold a bruising faith

      You make me real / but now it’s just a matter of grace

      Lyrics

      Time is never time at all

      You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

      And our lives are forever changed

      We will never be the same

      The more you change the less you feel

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain

      We’re not the same, we’re different tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      And you know you’re never sure

      But you’re sure you could be right

      If you held yourself up to the light

      And the embers never fade in your city by the lake

      The place where you were born

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      In the resolute urgency of now

      And if you believe there’s not a tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      We’ll crucify the insincere tonight

      We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight

      We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight

      The indescribable moments of your life tonight

      The impossible is possible tonight

      Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

      Lyrics

      You and me

      Meant to be

      Immutable

      Impossible

      It’s destiny

      Pure lunacy

      Incalculable

      Inseparable

      And for the last time

      You’re everything that I want and asked for

      You’re all that I dream

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

      Protected and the lover of

      A pure soul

      And beautiful

      You

      Don’t understand

      Don’t feel me now

      I will breath

      For the both of us

      Travel the world

      Traverse the skies

      Your home is here

      Within my heart

      And for the first time

      I feel as though I am reborn in my mind

      Recast as child and mystic sage

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

      For the first time

      I’m telling how much I need and bleed for

      Your every move and waking sound in my time

      I’ll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart

      And your mind

      You’re mine forever now

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Lyrics

      Bleed in your own light
      Dream of your own life
      I miss me
      I miss everything I’ll never be
      And on, and on
      I torch my soul to show
      The world that I am pure
      Deep inside my heart
      No more lies
      A crown of horns
      An image formed deformed
      The mark I’ve borne
      A mark of scorn to you
      Consume my love, devour my hate
      Only powers my escape
      The moon is out, the stars invite
      I think I’ll leave tonight
      So soon I’ll find myself alone
      To relax and fade away
      Do you know what’s coming down
      Do you know I couldn’t stay free?
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free
      I shall be free free
      Free of those voices inside me
      I shall be free
      I shall be free

Billy grabbed one and plugged in into his amp and immediately started playing the riff from ‘Tarantula’ and the song was written pretty much on the spot.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That’s our nod to the Scorpions, and UFO--a loving nod to the hard rock bands of that era.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I don’t want to fight

      Every single night

      Everything I want is in your eyes

      You and me go back

      To places I dont know to care

      The spoils of all I got were left for scraps

      Don’t let me say this

      But you’re no worse than me

      It’s crazy

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the real

      They feel we have enough

      We are the real

      ‘Cause someone gave us up

      I want to be there when you’re happy

      I want to love you when you’re sad

      Cant stand the morning rain?

      Get out i’ll take your place then

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Then close your eyes you’ll see

      The angel dust

      I dont want to be

      Anything believed

      A million watts of sound can’t compare

      Come along you’ll see the world

      The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls

      The current starts to flow and then you’re on

      Oh it’s white hot soul they want

      To sing for

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the ruin

      Of every living soul

      We are surreal

      Cause someone gave us up

      Don’t break the oath

      I want to love you when you’re happy

      Don’t break this oath

      I want to be there when youre sad

      Freeze-frame the pouring rain

      We are the real

      As real as any ghost

      So easy now

      We are the real

      In ever living soul

      Oh dont they know?

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Can’t stand the morning rain?

      Oh get out i’ll take your place again

      I dont want to be alone

      I dont want to be alone at all

      If it’s a white hot soul they want

      Then a black heart they’ll get

      If I were alive
      If I were real
      Would you survive
      What would you feel
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      As sentimental as our broken dreams
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die to save your soul
      Let me die, let me die rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their metal machines
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      If I were dead
      Would my records sell
      Could you even tell
      Is it just as well
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      It’s elemental, to all the rust it brings
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die and save my soul
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me die rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their droning schemes
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Will I survive
      Is it up to me
      Could you understand
      That it’s not yours to keep
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t live for tomorrow,
      Tomorrow’s much too long
      I’ll burn my eyes out
      Before I get out
      I wanted more
      Than life could ever grant me
      Bored by the chore
      Of saving face
      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t wait for tomorrow
      I might not have that long
      I’ll tear my heart out
      Before I get out
      Pink ribbon scars
      That never forget
      I tried so hard
      To cleanse these regrets
      My angel wings
      Were bruised and restrained
      My belly stings
      Today is
      Today is
      Today is
      The greatest day
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you
      Today is the greatest
      Today is the greatest day
      Today is the greatest day
      That I have ever really known

      Lyrics

      He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee
      Greenest state in the Land of the Free
      Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
      Killed himself a bear when
      He was only three
      Davy, Davy Crocket
      King of the wild frontier
      He was a cardfan man
      His life was worthy
      He had love in his hands
      And his hands were dirty
      And the sky turned to fire
      On the day of his birth
      Now he lost his love and
      His grief was gall
      In his heart he wanted to leave it all
      And lose himself in the forest tall
      But answered instead his country’s call
      Davy, Davy Crocket
      King of the wild frontier
      He was a mighty big man
      In a mighty big land
      Had a mighty big heart
      And mighty big hand
      When his country called
      He met the demand
      Fought single-handed through the Injun War
      Till the creeks was swept
      And peace was in store
      And while he was handlin this risky chore
      Made himself a legend forevermore
      Davy, Davy Crocket
      King of the wild frontier
      At night he walked to the woods alone
      Winding his beard
      Way back home
      A hero’s curse, a man alone
      Looking for a place where
      The air smells clean
      Where the tree is tall and
      The grass is green
      Where the fish is fat in
      An untouched stream
      And teemin’ woods is a hunter’s dream
      Hey, Davy, Davy Crocket
      King of the wild frontier
      He was a big, big man
      Davy, Davy Crocket
      King of the wild frontier
      He sure loved those woods
      Davy, Davy Crocket
      King of the wild frontier
      Mmm, Davy

      My reflection, dirty mirror

      There’s no connection to myself

      I’m your lover, I’m your zero

      I’m the face in your dreams of glass

      So save your prayers

      For when we’re really gonna need ’em

      Throw out your cares and fly

      Wanna go for a ride?

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      Cause she’s the one for me

      Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness

      And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

      Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness

      Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms

      The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

      I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship

      I never let on that I was down

      You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore

      You blame yourself for wanting more

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      She’s the one for me

      She’s my one and only

      It’s in blood

      I suppose

      Breaking jars

      I’m no good

      As the prodigal son

      And I know that you’re mesmerized

      You had a vision, made these laws

      And sanitized, are we above desires

      I miss him so

      You are so fucked

      It has begun

      Revolution crawls

      All over you

      I was listening

      You light up the sky

      And scrape out your skull

      Your lovely face

      Will never be claimed thrice

      And we’re so unlikely to

      Upon my wrists I bear the cross

      My losses mount as I climb across the home

      Of my own soul

      I’ll claim my prize

      I don’t exist

      I am divine

      A ghost with eyes
