DAX RIGGS LYRICS

1. Demon Tied To A Chair In My Brain

Demon tied to a chair in my brain
Blackbird a tappin' on the window pane
Sick man smilin' at a stray dog in the rain
Demon tied to a chair in my brain
Demon tied to a chair in my brain
Lovers burnin' ghostly draggin' their chains
Met eyes from the window
Of that midnight train
Demon tied to a chair in my brain
Demon tied to a chair in my brain
Demon tied to a chair in my brain
Mad shriekin' woman weepin' my name
My skeleton is meltin'
My soul is in flames
Demon tied to a chair in my brain

2. Didn't Know Yet What I'd Know When I Was Bleedin'

Knelt a puppet on a string
Along the vortex weeping
Lord have you heard
The roaring dragon eat the virgin
I didn't know yet what I'd know
When I was bleedin'
I seem to forget what I learned
When I was fallin'
I didn't know yet what I'd know
When I was bleedin'
Neon ghost in mask and coat
My heart is satellite remote
When my chemicals go wrong
Murder the devil
Take his song for my own
We sang
I didn't know yet what I'd know
When I was bleedin'
I seem to forget what I learned
When I was fallin'
I didn't know yet what I'd know
When I was bleedin'
When I was fallin'
Was I flyin'?

3. Night Is The Notion

Night is the notion
Everything sleeps beneath
We are the explosion
In which lies the dream
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Maybe it dies or maybe baby it don't
Night is the notion
So I count the stars
In my dark cup and forget this all
Lord I can't believe
The earth ain't swallowing us yet
The earth ain't swallowing us yet
We are the explosion
We are the explosion
Night is the notion
We are the explosion
We are the explosion
We are the explosion

4. Radiation Blues

Bury this and the rhythm of breath, there is only death
Maybe you're dead and ya just don't know
A shadow dressed only in sorrow
Tomorrow might not exist and ya should've been dead
Should've been dead like ten times over
Like ten times over
Should've been dead like ten times over
By the hand of your lover
By the side of the river should've been dead
Bury this song and the rhythm of breath
There is only death
There is only death, only death
These radiation blues sister
Gonna make me true
Movin' through the bones of you
These radiation blues
Movin', movin', movin', movin'

5. The Terrors Of Nightlife

I laid all I own at the devil's feet
And I have placed a rose between the angel's teeth
Night lay beside me, night lay beside me
I wish you could hear what I hear when I'm out there
The stars all seem to burn
And scream into the atmosphere
Night lay beside me, night lay beside me
May grief fall away like leaves from the trees
May grief fall away like leaves from the trees
And night lay beside me, only night lay beside me

6. A Spinning Song

If I keep spinnin'
How will it stop?
When heaven drops and the grave opens up
My head's in hell on holiday
An evening star follows me through the day
When heaven drops and the grave opens up

7. Truth In The Dark

Nothing below or above
We sing of only blood or love
Nothing below or above
We sing of only blood or love
We sing of only blood or love
Can I only tell the truth in the dark?
Do I only exist in your heart?
Today there is no sun
Maybe there never was
Headless queen of gutter doom
Has locked inside a rented room
The phantom of the climbing vine
Buried in sunshine
Invert it but you know it's divine
We sing of only blood or love
We sing of only blood or love

8. Ouroboros

The wilderness and all its thorns
Tangled up around my horns
I ain't got time to die tonight
Climbing the stars
Into the midnight hours
The serpent is eating itself

My heart is on fire
With its death and desire
I ain't got time to die
Climbing the stars
Into the midnight hours
The serpent is eating itself

The serpent is eating itself
The serpent is eating itself

Tonight I ain't got time to die

9. Living Is Suicide

Along the highway
And the graveyard lines
Have mercy on the devil
He's a friend of mine
Sometimes
Dancing this phantom up
And down my spine
Have mercy on the devil
He's a friend of mine
Sometimes sometimes sometimes
We are living this suicide
If god looked upon us
It would surely leave us blind
Surely leave us blind
This living is suicide
Living is suicide

10. Forgot I Was Alive

They took they drugs and left
You stranded down in Mexico
Half-formed wandering the desert
You had blood on your soul
But what did ya know
I been told blood makes the grass grow
Baby what do ya know
You got to let it roll
But what would I know?

I know how high the grass will grow
We'll leave our skins outside the door
It will be like it was before
I forgot I was alive

What do ya know
I been told blood makes
The grass grow baby
What do ya know
Ya got to let it roll
But what would I know?
I forgot I was alive

11. Ghost Movement

Gonna lay with a ghost by my side
Let the birds take to the sky
Gonna try and drown or drink
The river dry
May the ghost lay by my side
And the flowers will bloom
If you want them to
We spoke upon the stars up in the night
How'd you ever get so high
Gonna try and drown
Or drink the river dry
May the ghost lay by my side
And the flowers will bloom
If you want them to
Kissed a blue girl
While it rained broken glass
Rode a bolt of white light
With Satan on my lap
Everything is happening in the dark
And everything is happening all at once
Do we haunt the hearts of god
My love I bet ya haunt the heart
Of god my love

12. Dog-headed Whore

We knew the devil's hands
We wish the king was dead
How we waltzed upon the tombs
Down at the carnival
I'm a black clown
In this prison rodeo
Struttin' like a dog-headed whore
Hopin' the moon explode
Hopin' the moon explode
Hopin' the moon explode
Little spider left for Germany
There's a hell of a whole lot of stars
Between you and me
Bless those black boots
That I kneel before
Struttin' like a dog-headed whore
Hopin' the moon explode
Hopin' the moon explode
Hopin' the moon explode

13. Wall Of Death

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
But this is the nearest to being alive
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse
The tunnel of love might amuse you
And Noah's Ark might confuse you but
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

On the Wall of Death
All the World is far from me
On the Wall of Death
It's the nearest to being free

Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong, but what's the use of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

14. Scarlett Of Heaven Nor Hell

Got this shadow in my shoes
Got this blackness in my blues
If we're lost, how can we lose
You're askin' me, I'm askin' you

Scarlet of heaven nor hell
Scarlet of heaven nor hell
No rapture will do it now
Scarlet of heaven nor hell

Got this sparrow in my skull
A madness in its bones
If we're lost, how can we lose
You're askin' me, I'm askin' you

15. Dethbryte

All this fades and reappears
and we will always be everywhere everything
dreams tonight
don't bleed it so white
the fragile waves of days
they break against the shore
of all these years
don't scream and bite
don't bleed it so white
if all death is as bright
