I get a lot of questions about the themes and meanings on the Anxiety EP. That is not for me to decide.
What is it to you?
FALL OUT FRACTURE: Anxiety (2005)
PISSING IN THE GENE POOL
cover your eyes, cover your ears, sever your mind, covet the fear
searching for a new way to break the wheel
spasmodic synaptic misfires of blind rage
purge the hole, pick it from the bone
infection is home
cut it out of you, cut it out of you
cut it out of you, we gotta get it out of view
we believe our own lies and we're dropping like flies
evolution is money in our greedy little lives
searching for a new way to break the wheel
SUICIDE IN SPRING
dogs are biting at your feet again yet you don't make a sound
bees are flying in your hair again stinging the most beautiful song
and you're moaning like wine in this moment, the most precious crime
tomorrow was dreaded but inevitable
it's a suicide in the spring time and I'm bleeding for two
you lied and I listened and healed inside you
everything is wrong, everything is fine, where do I draw the line?
for ten cents around your neck you can feed the sick starving stars vomiting up bile on these tender scars
but you're so beautiful...wash your feet again
there used to be a time when everything was so perfect
in this fallen down, broken town nothing is perfect
forever you say, forever and always
but like mist in the morning it burns away in day
rain runs down your lips as we say goodbye
watching the movies replay in your eyes
skin in my teeth knows that vibrance has died
suicide in spring and I feel so alive
aimlessly dazed by a sound on the outisde of eden where their golden tongues still amaze bodies wash up on distant shores made of spasmodic synaptic misfires of rage
BURN LAYER
so tired of these mundane little dances on your tongue
where no one is satisfied and nothing is done
you were never so alive, so sanguine and so heartfelt
a voluptuous mess, a clown in a garter belt
she's splayed, she's going down further
broken spine dripping milk and holy water
stale drugs and nicotein fed straight to the wrist
choking on her pearls and she moves on her fist
you poor fucked up disease
your eyes brought me to my knees
you blame me, but it's all in your head
you drain me, and you leave me for dead
I smell the delicate flavor of lighter fluid on your skin
your burning is just a matter of friction
cutting the lines to make it all make sense
she's spreading her legs to find the innocense
lost and alone and blue and cling to something new
because it's warm and it moves so she paints herself slut red
in the morning you're just a stain in the sheets
of blood and glitter
this bottom-shelf-vodka-lust is gonna do you in
lock her in the closet until she's sober
cover her mouth until it's over
can't shake this feeling of nauseousness
push, breath, victimize your obese mind
you're the victim when it's over, black out roll over
I'm bored, roll over and put your knees to the sky
slut red whore
PAPERCUT SHOTGUN
well it all comes down to this again
everyone you love will leave you in the end
every moment we're spinning
around the barrel of a shotgun face to face
with the slug that can take it all away
because we're numb to love and pain
and reaching the end is the only way we can live
waste flows through me, through you
it all comes down to me, it all comes down to you
there's a fine line between living and fighting just to see the light again
here comes the rain
if one and one and one is three
then there's something to stand on, there has to be
I'm lame
in the field with a shotgun blowing the shame away
and even if you've been so close you no longer hold your breath
there's something to be said for the moments that come to pass
here comes the rain
we're drinking gasoline just to feel something
combustion in my veins, just to feel something
which way?
the road I was on has washed away
waste flows through me, through you
SURVIVING THE END
paint the walls with my conscious entity
turning blue and falling away
picking and peeling away this familiar cavity
a shooting star leaving a trail like an acid trip
as the bones decay into the bloodstream
nerves are like live wires ready to snap
it's too bad, it's so perfect, it's so low
it's just one thing after another after another after another
we're hurting ourselves, we're hurting eachother
everyone is the enemy
no control or feeling
ignore the signs we're seeing
we're hemorraging energy
we've looked to the stars for so long
now they say that something is very wrong
everything we knew is gone
so take my hand and come along and we'll
gather all the weak and the sheep and the liars
for a trial by earthquake, water and fire
it's all burning down
I'm standing tall as they are all below me
I'm standing alone as they have all gone before me
so this is how it ends
this is how it ends
trust your instincts, only insects will survive
I won't walk through the darkness with locusts in my ears - we're surviving the end
