TRUTH DECAY
From the lips of men
And the skulls of men
Take these words and thoughts and manipulate
Cry foul
Cry wolf
The only truth’s in your mind
Form a new history to suit you
To have them believe
The only way to believe
Leave your unsigned message in a bottle
In a sea of rust
Unfiltered code
Can’t tell the zeroes from the ones
Guilty by assimilation
Put the fly in the ointment
Information rodeo
Don’t know what’s up from down
Fingerprints in a private vacuum
Where true sympathies lie
Guilty by annihilation
Wash the lies from your lips
Sweet-nothings intimidation
Stick your tongue in your ear
Guilty by annihilation
The damage is done

TERMINAL FICTION
We went up to the hill
To see what’s been happening there
There’s people rolling down the hill
Getting up and doing it again
Went up on that hill
Made sure to stay out of sight
They’re clawing at each other’s throats
As if it were an eye for an eye
They’re tearing pages out of books
And replacing them with ransom notes
Set fire to the evidence
And put the ashes in an urn
Now two and two make five
What once was dead is now alive
And there’s a massacre where no one died
Gone but never forgotten
Look up to the sky
Will you remember what you’ll see today?
Some say light rain; some say cloudy
But the weathermen shrug their shoulders
Up on the hill
There’s no such thing as lies
Just people rolling down over broken glass
And a ton of ashes put in urns

REIGN OF ERROR
Pit stops through time
Stealing through the ages
Ransacking Newton’s room
Come back a savior
Avoid amnesia
No need for the marches
Protect from this alchemy
That turns wine into piss
The sky splits in two
And the stars go rogue
Who gets the wine?
Who gets the poison?
The truth that you’ve held so dear’s
Now been replaced
But be sure it’s the bomb
That will bring us together

COME CLEAN
The left hand don’t know
What the right hand is doing
Good health to you
Death to all!
Conspire in secret
To set up this mess
Cut off both arms
To pay for the cure
Behind closed doors
The strait-jacket fits
Pen in mouth
Drool the words onto the page
With a Yo! and a Ho!
And it’s down we go
Cut off both legs
To pay for the cure

DNA PARADE
Walk into
Fields of green
Choose a side
Black or white
Rebel rebel
Rebel yell
Pick your poison
Poison pill
Make believe
There’s an in-between
Throw your voice
Falling flat
Make believe
Faith in Choice
Wear the colors
Toe the line
Harmony
In your head
Thoughts and habits
Not your own
Harmony
All but dead
In your skull
Like a coffin
Rebel rebel
Rebel yell
Pick your poison
Poison pill
Safe in numbers
Make no choice
Wear the colors
Poison pill

CASTAWAYS
Speak but do not say the words
That should be mouthed
Without a sound
If you want to remember
For in a day they won’t exist
The rats have left the sinking ship
Into the sea
They’ve had enough
Yes, even all the loyal ones
Have flung themselves
Into the brine
Hoist the flag and put your faith in lunacy,
Conspiracy,
And a show of farce
Demands for the captain’s head
Drowned out his rants:
This mutiny does not exist!
Came the decree
But no one listened
The rats have left the burning ship
And we follow close behind

SEVEN WORDS
Over the distant horizon
Looking for the edge of the world
With a sense and with a purpose
Who says the world isn’t flat
Treasonous facts
Hail the blacklist!
Punishment kiss and the will of God
Follow the breadcrumbs to the war
The alphabet does not exist
Superstition avalanche
Deliver us from evidence
Go go Johnny, go go Johnny
There you go in the name of the Lord
Double standards before your eyes
If it doesn’t fit, then it never happened
Reality is elastic
Give it a go and we’ll all fit in
Praises for amnesia
Fantasy world and the lay of the land
Follow the breadcrumbs to the war
Number system conspiracy
This is the sound of a 45
Spun on repeat and repeat and repeat
Go go Johnny, go go Johnny
There you go with the fear of God

SWIFTLY INTO THE NIGHT
When you came to your senses
Everything was the same
No blackout lasts forever
And the world’s still in flames
Keep your voice down
Or you’ll give us away
But why bother to whisper
When we know it’s the end?
No Infinity Waltzes
And the singer is dead
Play that sonata backwards
To reverse everything
But you’ll come to your senses
And that day will not come
Bring the cup to your lips
So you know it’s the end

REALITY LIMBO
Hail to the king!
Hail to the king!
Hail to the king of nothing!
Stranger than fiction
Delusion addiction
A knock on the door
And Ubu shows you in
Sucked into a bad dream
Nothing is what it seems
Sanity assassins
Hallucination agents
Hard at work and obscene
For the good of the people
And it’s hail to the king
To the king of nothing
Babble and fiction
Second-rate diction
Omit and distort
Then repeat and repeat
Where did the past go?
Before it was hijacked
It’s not in your mind
And it’s not there in history
Pardon the killers
Hard at work for the people
And to Hell with the king
And the horse he road in on
