Human UNkind

I’m trying desperately to live authentically
In a world intent on corrupting me
The one thing they can’t take
The code they cannot break
Is my identity
Sing with me
I will not speak in quotes
Twist words to win your vote
There is still value in honesty
How do you truly feel
When you jump off the wheel
Escape from insanity
So here’s where you sign
Telling you what they think you want to hear
It’s an abuse of your mind
Finger on the trigger of fear
It’s human UN kind
If it’s real proof you seek
just walk out on the street
Fractured cities founded on fakery
Peter says ‘touch your face, I always get my way’
Calls your naivety loyalty
True words cannot come out
with a rose at your mouth
Lost in an orgy of vanity
Says what you want to hear
Moths wing inside your ear
Charmed by a vile melody
The root of all suffering is ignorance
Here’s where you sign
Telling you what they think you want to hear
It’s an abuse of your mind
Finger on the trigger of fear
Don’t stand behind the line
Honour your conscience, make it clear
you won’t tolerate lies
leaving a legacy of tears
It’s human UN kind
They tell you what you want to hear
Hide a moths wing inside your ear
They’d place a rose at your mouth
so you can’t get your true words out

I once told you I’m yours til the end of time
but how long is that anyway?
Tonight we could go down in a hail of comets
Like a cosmic sundance
To the last I’ll stay
You could sleepwalk all your life
and never learn how to run
Don’t say tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t always come
Give me all you’ve got tonight
Don’t hold out for the morning sun
Don’t say tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t always come
We could hide out up in the hills
But the trees won’t shed a rain of fire
So every day let’s embrace the sensual world
and never bridle our desire
You could sleepwalk all your life
and never learn how to run
Don’t say tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t always come
Give me all you’ve got tonight
Don’t hold out for the morning sun
Don’t say tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t always come
Manana no siempre viene
We’re near the edge
But so many people don’t even know it
Every day is blessed
So tonight you’d better show it
Tonight you’d better show it
You could sleepwalk all your life
and never learn how to run
Don’t say tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t always come
Give me all you’ve got tonight
Don’t hold out for the morning sun
Don’t say tomorrow
Tomorrow doesn’t always come

Here’s a curious rose growing in the desert
And close by a snake has shed it’s skin
Bondage to convention is for zealots
Sum me up or pin me down, my thorns still sting
Cus I’m bittersweet, bittersweet
A serious smile yeah trick or treat
Well hello I’m Bittersweet and I’m unique.
I get clean by bathing in the moonlight.
I will only fight you on guitars
I like girl scout cookies made from girl scouts
Bring the sunset back to me from Mars
I’m bittersweet bittersweet
Smoke all your pot while you kiss my feet
Well hello I’m Bittersweet the superfreak
I’m not a stripper cus I’m in a band
I may look cute-that’s just how I stand
I don’t expect you to understand
I think it’s criminal not to be original
Pleased to meet you I’m Bittersweet.
Bittersweet, bittersweet,
Black coffee and chocolate
You know what I mean
Bittersweet, bittersweet
When I sing
I melt your ice cream
Well hello I’m bittersweet
The super freakified unique
It’s on the street, tres exotique
I’m Bittersweet.

No More Stars

The world really ended
Now we are ghosts
Haunting the places we surrendered our hope
Is this an angel taking my hand
Leading me through an annihilated land
Can’t you see there are no more stars in the sky?
Don’t you know they flicker after they die?
Are we in limbo making amends
for killing and fighting,
for failing our friends?
Can’t you see there are no more stars in the sky?
Don’t you know they flicker after they die?
And here they worship the sacred self
They don’t if it’s heaven or hell
They think that they’re alive and well
Everyone thinks they’re famous these days
A hero’s much more than a face on a page
I made a deal a long time ago
I’ll do what it takes but I’m keeping my soul
Can’t you see there are no more stars in the sky?
Don’t you know they flicker after they die?
Kiss me while the colour drains from your eyes
Cus there are no more stars in the sky

Skeleton Suit

Baby, you’re so heavy
You lean so hard you’ll crush my heart
Baby, you don’t have to save me
But you gotta keep that cloud away from me
Your negativity
May have once appealed to me
But it’s not sexy
It’s a cry to be set free
As above so below
It’s time you let the old act go
You can whine or take control
Of what you draw toward your soul
In the dark I’ve seen you glow
And I don’t mean
Your skeleton suit bones
Your negativity-don’t get it confused with mystery
You bleed misery
But there’s untapped gold beneath
You know your secret’s safe with with me
Oh it weighs so heavy
You know your secret’s safe with me

What makes us so different from the world’s biology?
The creation of art or ideology
Scratch the surface
See the savage clearly
Give me a gun
I wanna test Darwin’s theory
We were born in blood
Just to get a taste
Hear the call to run
In the human race
You’re my rival
You’re not my brother
We were born to kill each other.
Climbing out of the cradle
Little children please take note
You can’t climb to the top
without stepping on another kid’s throat
A competitive nature
and an instinct to survive
is more reliable than mercy
In keeping you alive
We were born in blood
Just to get a taste
Hear the call to run
In the human race
You’re my rival
You’re not my brother
We were born to kill each other.
I’ll keep one step ahead of the hoard
I’ll sleep when I’m dead and not before
We were born in blood
Just to get a taste
Hear the call to run
In the human race
You’re my rival
not my brother
We were born to kill each other.
Drink to our victory

It’s all been said before
Can’t be debated any more
It’s time to step beyond the door
Dark void illuminated
The slayed remains of monsters you created
I’m tired of hearing how the devil’s in the details
You have a hidden power
Together how can we fail
Paint a picture in your mind
A perfect finish but you’ll have to start
Don’t be scared of what you’ll find
You can’t avoid what’s in your heart
You are the universe
You hold the spell that breaks the curse
Doves will cry and frozen hearts will burst
Thunder, you’re at the centre,
the eye of the storm
Energy conductor
Dig deep and you’ll know how
To manifest Yemenya
Release your inner power
Dreamers don’t surrender
Place a vision in your mind
where it can never be torn apart
Don’t be scared of what you’ll find
Embrace it and don’t lose heart
It’s all been said before
Get ready now ready now ready now
I’m ready now ready now ready now
I’m ready now
Stop telling me how the devil’s in the details
Connect to your power
Together how can we fail
Dig deep you’ll know how
to manifest Yemanya
You’ve harnessed a power
dreamers don’t surrender
Place a vision in your mind
where it can never be torn apart
Don’t be scared of what you’ll find
Embrace it and don’t lose heart
Rise up amongst the stars
Tell us everything you see
Take it all inside your heart
You’re as ready as you’ll ever be
It’s all been said before
Step through the door

Baby you're a hard nut to crack
I got a hammer so people stand back
I know you come with tears and germs
like every other can of worms
Fall in, fall out…
One day you’ll see i'm human too
would that be a shock to you?
maybe so but I don’t care
Elvis Presley dyed his hair
There’s no such thing as ‘uncomplicated’
every heart has a wall with a gate in it
Can’t work you out, standing on the outside
Two plus two equals five
We're all stitched and glued together
We still drip from stormy weather
And no one here is traveling light
we just keep our bags out of sight
There’s no such thing as ‘uncomplicated’
every heart has a wall with a gate in it
Can’t work you out, standing on the outside
Two plus two equals five
Don't leave me standing on the outside
where two plus two equals five
Always changing
our shapes with many sides
We pick up two bad habits
and let an older phobia slide
Polygonal beings
stacked up on life's shelves
and all their demons unknown
even to themselves
There’s no such thing as ‘uncomplicated’
every heart has a wall with a gate in it
Can’t work you out, standing on the outside
Two plus two equals five
Don't leave me standing on the outside
where two plus two equals five

VIOLENCE
ON A 6 FOOT PLASMA SCREEN
A DRONE RECORDS THE SCENE
MEDIA SENSATIONALIZE
DESENSITIZE
HISTORY
REPEATING IN A CAGE
TWISTING EVERY PAGE
TO PERVERT THE NARRATIVE
FROM LOVE TO RAGE
THIS IS OUR DECLINE AND FALL
WHEN WILL LOVE CONQUER ALL
HOW MANY VERSIONS OF THE TRUTH
DEMAND FAITH WITHOUT PROOF
AND MURDER UNITY
BEFORE IT BEARS IT’S FRUIT
THIS IS OUR DECLINE AND FALL
WHEN WILL LOVE CONQUER ALL
YOU'RE CONDITIONED NOT TO SECOND GUESS
BUT WHAT IF THIS LIFE IS ALL THERE IS
IT'S EASY TO ORDER HUMAN SACRIFICE
WHEN YOU'RE ONE BULLET AWAY FROM PARADISE

Farewell

Farewell to arms
that held a child
Farewell to legs
for running wild
Farewell to loins
that pleased a wife
The struggle’s over
Farewell to strife
Farewell to eyes
that hid a curse
A smile that lied
because the truth was worse
Farewell to lips
that sang through pain
I’ll never hear
those notes again
Of course we know
all born must die
but when the trapdoor opens
we still ask why
When you’re throwing dirt down on me
will there be a queue?
Or just the man I love
and the man I owe money to?
Farewell

So I wake anew
paranoid and circumspect
Crawling into space
left by my fading intellect
Will you be my guest
You’ve always been a kind host
I love all your art
Love the ones I painted most
I once went to war
And faced the enemy
I’m the architect of everything you see
Now I want to leave
Don’t know where I parked the car
I can’t even find my keys
I never should have come so far
I was in the desert
Won a medal in the pool
I can’t recall the name
We were friends back in school
I once went to war
And faced the enemy
I’m the architect of everything you see
I felt so alone,
like I’m stuck in a dream
where everyone’s a stranger
and strange is how I seem
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up on me
I remember now
the door is closed
I’m grateful too
I hope it shows
It’s a terrible thing
when your mind goes
Glad you’re at the wheel
This city doesn’t speak to me
I was once a captain
Now I am all at sea
I have to pack a bag
I never seem to get a rest
The man who lives upstairs
has me marked down for death
I once went to war
And faced the enemy
I’m the architect of everything you see
I never seem to wake,
always in a dream
where everyone’s a stranger
and strange is how I seem
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up on me
I remember now
the door is closed
I’m grateful too
I hope it shows
It’s a terrible thing
when your mind goes
Everyone’s a stranger and strange is how I seem
Be here when I wake
Don’t give up on me
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up on me

The more I listen to this the more trouble I have choosing favorite track. I also still think this is witchhouse. Also I think your cover art is incredibly good. But I don't think it is best of your art anymore. I'll switch to Crush for a moment.
