SCAPEGOAT LYRICS

1. March On

The country is FUCKED
We’ve got a maniac running the lines
Writing the headlines
Keeping the fire burning
Incessantly fanning the flames
Flames of fear, the end of the world is near
Lets try and tax their tips
The average waiter of $2.13
Our supply has fallen short of demand
And we need more bullets for M16s
To shred through the dead weight
Their lives expense we could not anticipate
And I hope this weighs on your shoulders
Cuz my back breaks
With every innocent life they take

What have we now but a 747 of loads
And the president counting down as these nations explode
5,4,3,2,1
Standby for the war of our worlds has begun

March
March on
Storm the gates of this abomiment
And free the liar of his cause
March (what do we do?)
March on (to the sound of a drum)
Let freedom ring from desert to mountain top
And the sound of the ring I will degrade with every word that I sing

I’ll piss upon with every word that I sing
Shredding through deadweight
For in their sleep they cannot anticipate
My words heavy as boulders
As they roll off my tongue to your ear, am I hurting your shoulders?

5,4
Enough with the numbers, fuck it
I’m ready for war

March (what do we do?)
March on (to the sound of a drum)
Storm the gates of this abomiment
And free the liar of his cause
March (what do we do?)
March on (to the sound of a drum)
Let freedom ring from desert to mountain top
And the sound of the ring I will degrade with every word that I sing

And three cheers for the cause
Saddle up cause I’m ready for war
Saddle up cause I’m ready for war
Pray that the power of God eludes you
Or let the power consume you
And burn with every last cent that you’ve earned
The money you’ve made off the lives that you put in the grave

We're all pawns in the game
March
March On..
And the cavalry's ready

2. After Class With Mrs. Brown

Impertently marked
The deign and the weary now
Govern my exult
Govern my heart, my mind, my body
The weight on my soul

Making love to her will always be
A frictional engrave to sought to not remember

Streaming real time
Closed screening in wait for what dreams may come
For what dreams often bring
A time when what I did was right
Before a calm resign
Between the girl and boy
Post mourning the most
Beautiful of days, weeks, months, years, lives

Making love to her will always be
A frictional engrave to sought to not remember
And word on the street is
That she’s got a lot of love to give
Everything a boy could want in a girl

What are the odds of living it again?
I’ve got to become one with what I’ve been missing
It's long past been you’ll never live it again
You want what you lost
You want what you brought to its end
Odds
The odds to live it again
Odds
What are the odds to live it again?

What am I running from lord?
I’ve got to find a way
Back into my mother's womb
That girl meant everything to me
My mother
My lover
My family

Over and over again
Without hesitation I will run
Over and over again
So go back to the one you love
What am I running from lord?
Wilt as I’ll wilt lord

Making love to her will always be
A frictional engrave to sought to not remember
And word on the street is
That she’s got a lot of love to give
Everything a boy could want in a girl

Making love to her..
Its long past been you’ll never live it again

3. White Chapel

We’ve sent our own on a mission
We vote our sons to die
Well I can never fucking fathom
Anybody's savior sending them to murder a nation
Start a rebellion if you please
Well I please
As I bring out your dead

This air has aged with such stagnance
As we uphold and behold
Those whom have belayed these molds
The molds in which we're forced to fit
The molds our people have been slaved with
The molds our children will be plagued with
In a world knee deep in bodies this air represents inevitability

Rebel, rebel, yell, rebel, hands up
Self govern or hop aboard with the impostors
I feel this notion hath wait
But I feel this notion has taken its toll on us
Rebel, rebel, yell, rebel, hands up

Divorce all prior existence
Acknowledge the thought that there might be something more
The more before the board had been built
The pieces no mold
Inevitable destruction with no instruction
Lets give unto the man, as he has given unto us
Bring the metal
Who brings the metal?
The dead bring the metal

Thou shalt not be bent over
Thou shalt not further this crusade
We’ll sail our ships into your mother fucking icebergs

Rebel, rebel, yell, rebel, hands up
Self govern or hop aboard with the impostors
I feel this notion hath wait
But I fear this notion has taken its hold on us
Rebel, rebel, yell, rebel, hands up

Thou shalt not follow in their way
Thou shalt not further this crusade
Head stones a row, fall in line
As I bring out your dead

Thou shalt not further this crusade..
We’ll sail our ships into your mother fucking icebergs

4. Walk In Washington

Walk and roll with the punches
I’ll keep on walking

The future awaits my reply
Move forward or turn my back
On the healing hand of time
I feel fine, same sick back again and I’m fine
Our hearts will mend in time
Our hearts remain entwined
By the healing hand of time
By the healing hand of time

Legs tire the first thoughts that enter myself
Are of the stress that I felt
I hadn't had my fix
And her parents had a wearing on me
So I stalled my walking
Bitching and moaning
Wasting the time of a life
Walking hand in hand with my beautiful future wife

Reflect and reframe
Day from night

You’re hiding I’m seeking
Erroneously screaming olly olly oxon free
If you'd have it be
I’d walk my life away
In the streets of downtown Washington D.C.

I'll keep on walking
Walk and roll with the punches

Museums, high ceilings & the brightest of lights
Breath short
Rising panic as the room contorts
Into the jaws of a lion of an anxious sort
Stalling my walking
Bitching and moaning
Wasting the time of my life
Delving in the interest of my beautiful future wife

Well here's your breath of air
Here’s your dying cure
Here’s your sign of hope (all hope is gone)
This song's my cure

(Behind the blindfold)
You’re hiding I’m seeking
Erroneously screaming olly olly oxon free
If you'd have it be
I’d walk my life away
In the streets of downtown Washington D.C.
Just so you could see
A newer me
And what this boy has grown up to be

Time spent remembering
Every time I’m face to face with it
I wish I couldn't remember
I wish I couldn't remember the wonderful times
Same sick bounce back again and I’m
Same sick bounce back again and I'm fine

From the trees of Athens
To the capital you call your home
I will be there to guide you
Beside you
Our ever-loving spirits divide to new wholes

(Behind the blind fold)
You’re hiding I’m seeking
Erroneously screaming, singing for you, olly olly oxon free
If you'd have it be
I’d walk my life away in the streets of downtown Washington D.C.
Just so you could see
A newer me
And what this boy has grown up to be

If it's love we can make it work..
If it's love
Let it work

5. All In Vanity

When being cautious
With the process
We devote what we can
While we try to withstand the simple at hand
We leave our selves open
Through voluntarily going to the depths of the deepest and the darkest of oceans
Just to say we left our mark in the conquest
Its fucked

But I’ve long since left the camp
And I often wish ill again
It seems that life has got me by the heels again
Just to drop me on my ass
Impeaching all dependency
In a quiet place between substance and loss
I threw away our love in a coin toss
And all of this time it seems
We were just falling apart, apart
While I grew into a part of you

So many things that I wanted to see
That I strived to be
In time you couldn’t spend with me
I walked around like I was running it all
I ran it all so carelessly
I’ll give you something in return for nothing
My love is built
Unconditionally

Well I still I wanna be something
I still wanna be something
I still wanna be something for nothing more

Negating human nature
In a quiet place between triumph and loss
I threw away our love in a coin toss
Bring the years and inform the clergy
I made it this far without you
And all of this time it seems
We were just falling apart, apart
Well I grew into a part of you..

Bring the years and inform the clergy
I made it this far without you
And all of this time it seems
We were just falling apart, apart
Well I grew into a part of you

In your head when you sleep with him
In your head when you sleep with him
I’ll be in your bed when you sleep with him
In your fucking bed

6. Cynical Date

What a cynical date
I should have had you at the door
A door frame the barely stands today
Merely given a taste
And my hands are on the verge of breaking
From two years to this very day

Over come by you
And the limits are now limitless
And broken hearts will only keep us to the ground
And I’m sorry if my compliments hurt you
But knowing this hurts even more
I guess you’ll have to tape my mouth shut girl?
Beautiful

I feel the need to express the explosive emission
From a nuclear reactant chest
With a heart that is pumping the pending problem
You keep indulgence at bay
Indulgence takes me away
Makes room for replacement
Sets new pace to an old race
To become one with the better half
Of loves bittersweet
Bittersweet love

And as the waves collide
I collide

Over come by you
And the limits are now limitless
And broken hearts will only keep us to the ground
And I’m sorry if my compliments hurt you
But knowing this hurts even more
I guess you’ll have to tape my mouth shut girl?
Beautiful..

If you do not wish for these words
Why do you happily sit there and take them?
I promise the choice is yours
And I’m not willing to make you take them
You love them
Girl

In life as in death I will always love you
Will always love you..

Bittersweet love..
I love you
I swear that I love you

And as the waves collide
I collide

Over come by you
And the limits are now limitless
And broken hearts will only keep us to the ground
And I’m sorry if my compliments hurt you
But knowing this hurts even more
I guess you’ll have to tape my mouth shut girl?

7. Fly's Eye View

Solace in the shape of a night
A night which dines upon iridescent light
A fly’s eye view will do me fine
To sort the matter

I couldn’t creep around her climb
A fishhook tongue at feeding time
I felt the way it feels
For her to hook your collar

Its high school
She’s curious
You’re grounded
I let you live her lie
This gift which I have given you
Would be no gift if I had chose to fight the lie

It's high school
She's curious
You're grounded

The love you have the body you embrace
Would be no gift if I had chose to fight the lie..

She’s coming through
Picture perfect

This gift which I have given you
She who you hold to highest heights
Would be no gift if I had chose to fight the lie

8. Precious Of Principle

I’m here to tell you
That I want you to know
That left in your wake
This is the boat I now row
A boat that was built on the most precious of principle
As trite as I’m true
In all that I do
I row forward for you..

As I have my fault
So have you yours
Your affection found sanction at
Inconsistencies door
And through blaming myself
I’ve found I’m worth so much more
A kingdom less throne unto my own
I row forward alone
For you

As trite as I’m true
I never thought that re-remembering me
Would mean remembering you
I’m tragically left concave
From a love that could be a best seller
From a love that could be one of the best

A chromatic indulgence
An atomic release
A peace, a voice to further
The chrysalis inside
The love I have inside
But I’ve seen her face behind
Every wall we climbed
And these mistakes are the waves that I now ride
That I must ride
To the crash

As trite as I’m true
I never thought that re-remembering me
Would mean remembering you
I’m tragically left concave
From a love that could be a best seller
From a love that could be one of the best
From a love that could be a best seller
From a love that could rise above the rest

Can we run?
Resetting the stage
That’s what you came for
Resetting the stage
Now get what you came for
Go and run and get what you came for
Now did you get what you came for?

As trite as I’m true..

9. Killing Kit

We’ve got our fingers crossed
We’ve got his very best friends in on the job
We the people are the people
And as people we will have our way
We’re doing away with this sharp
Unorthodox
Ir-rhythm
Damning our streams

Give me this way out
Cause I’m being run over
By an eighteen wheeler with sorry
Written on the side
My life inside a broken straw

Let go of the railing
Give up, give up, come down

Please give me this way out
Cause my cup has long runneth over
And a flat line reading would
Surely do me right
My life inside a broken straw

And beneath me
Is the water I’ll never reach
A cleansing not known to me
Well I stand up to breathe
My legs cripple, knees give in
And I cave in..
I’m caving in

I never wanted to be nothing more than unhappy
I’ll wear this stereotype like a crown
And inherit the world as a king
Fucking rock star

Let go of the railing
Preferably before your last words
Your last breath
The subjects dropped and I’m killing you
Se la vie
We soon will see
Your bed in hell will reek of me
With your tail between your legs

Kill me
Kill me and see what I’m made of
Crucify me and make me a king
Let the killing begin
Cause nobody ever wants to die
In vein
Give me a reason to be remembered
Your alter is fading
As will you

You are my reason to be remembered
Crucify me
Make me a king

I never wanted to be nothing more than unhappy
And now I’m the spokes jack ass
I’ll wear this stereotype like a crown
And inherit the world as a king
Fucking rock star

Let go of the railing
Preferably before your last words
Your last breath
The subjects dropped and I’m killing you
Se la vie, we soon will see
Your bed in hell will reek of me
With your tail between your legs
Kill me

10. Marry The Devil

Wise men say
Be careful what you wish for
The truth would surely shame
The branding of your name

Stranger unknown
In the back of a Cadillac
He’s dressed in black
From his toes to his head
Prospective collusion apparent
In the words that he said
She said
Sign your soul to me
And I will set you free

Carry on given weight through the hopeless times
They come a dime of a dozen
In cornucopias of many kinds

But it's all right
I’m gonna take this money
Turn it around times ten
And start a brand new life with you

You say you wanna get married
I don’t buy it
How could an angel marry the devil?
I won't buy it
No I won't buy it

Their came a time
When the constants became unstable
Then came a rise were the questions of many sorts
What do I do?
What is my next move to get back to you?
To get back to the heaven that I once knew
She will be the only heaven you will ever see
Because you signed your soul to me
Is your love for this girl really worth all eternity?

You say you wanna get married
I don’t buy it
How could an angel marry the devil?
I won’t buy it
No I won’t buy it

Hear the growl
In the lowest of rumble
Scream the tremors of past wished
Should’ve never wished this
I’ll take my cues from the wise in the next life

So do you wanna get married?
I don’t buy it
How could an angel marry the devil?
I won’t buy it..

11. Angel Eyes

Sinking in the eyes of an angel
I fight to rise above
I’m swimming in an angel’s love
A midnight conversation lover
I bother not with the surface
For in her sea I find my purpose

I don't care
At all

And I know we will find our way
Guide us through
Your angel eyes will do

I wish that we could fall in love
But you’ve got your wings to lift you
From the fear the fall

I’m lost in time with this angel
The people watch this band
But I’ll take my chance in a new one-night stand
I stare at her with conviction
Convinced she is the one
I will not take my love and run

And I know we will find our way
Guide us through
Your angel eyes will do

I wish that we could fall in love
But you’ve got your wings to lift you
From the fear the fall
Come down to me and disregard your wings
For when the angel falls in love my heart sings

When speaking of angels
The devil was the most powerful angel of all..

I wish that we could fall in love
But you’ve got your wings to lift you
From the fear the fall
Come down to me and disregard your wings
For when the angel falls in love my heart sings

And I know we will find our way
Guide us through
Your angel eyes will do

12. Monster

Sore
Sore cunt from a career of self-serve
What the hell have you done to yourself?
What the fuck have you done to everyone else?
Face the jury

Buoyantly
Vividly
Rendering every pocket blistering
You’ve found a way to displace the shame
To misplace the same weight
Gift wrapped in disease

Shotgun in a muzzle
Shotgun silenced..
Sealed in a graphic
Sealed in silence

Pivotal as choice is
In your hands
Have you not any shame?
How could you blame the world?
How could you place any fault?
Reflective surfaces show
Who holds responsibility for it all

I’ll never accept who you are
Monster's not word enough
What you are
Words can’t say
Alive and well to my dismay
Dismay brought from a conveyor of self-serve

Look what You’ve done to yourself
Fuck you and what You’ve done to yourself
Have you not any shame?
How could you blame the world?
How could you place any fault?
Reflective surfaces show
Who holds responsibility for it all

I’ll never accept who you are
Monster's not word enough
Never accept who you are
What you are
Words can’t say
Alive and well to my dismay
What you are
I can’t say
What you need?
I’ll shove a splintering stake up your cunt

We've all made mistakes
With room for more mistakes to make..

No I will never be a monster..

I’ll never accept who you are
Monsters not word enough
What you are
Monsters not word enough..

13. Miracle

When a song
A song can touch a nation
Doesn’t that say something?
Isn’t that a miracle?

When a mother
Can womb a child
Doesn’t that say something?
Isn’t that a miracle?

Doesn’t that say something?
Do I hear a miracle
Chiming in our ears?
Please discuss
The commune

And the loving from a woman
Does that not have merit?
Can that not be credible?
Credible as fathers
Dying for their sons
Sons dying for their fathers
Doesn’t that scream something at all?
Doesn't that scream something at all?

This love is a ride
We’ve tied ourselves down
For the time of our lives
Biding our time to die
If you missed me you’d write me
Loved me you’d call
Gave a fuck at all
You’d be there
Wouldn’t that be something?
That would be a miracle
As honest as you were with you and I

I can’t wish this away
As honest as you were
I can’t wish this away
Who are you?

Coexistent we are
To coexist I need you
Who are you?
Coexistent we are
Coexistent we are
If you’re the sun
I’m the moon
For without you
I hold no light to keep ground visible in night
I’ve come the darkest of moons
I’ve come the newest of moons
And I’ll wait for you to shine again
I’m dying for your shine

If you missed me you’d write me
Loved me you’d call
Gave a fuck at all
You’d be there
Wouldn’t that be something?
That would be a miracle
As honest as you were with you and I

And I swear this song’s not negative
For these years have only grown into my open gaping love for you
And these words would never lie
As honest as you were with you and I
As honest as you were with you and I

If you missed me you'd write me
Loved me you'd call
Gave a fuck at all
You'd be there
Wouldn't that be something?
That would be a miracle

14. The Communist Light Show

Increasing volume calls for decrease in gain
He said
Ports screaming

A never knowing coming turning event
Cyclical as the life I’ve spent
A life spent in thought of the time that has passed
The time that has passed leaves me bathing in regret of the past
And I’ve paid
My penance

Life in the hair of instabilities main he stood
A bitter dead

You mother fuckers wanna hate on your makers
You’ve ripped your roots right out of the ground
You’ve walked around too long just to piss on my lawn
We are an army
Hitting your car head on

Well I’m drawing the line
He’s drawing the line
Fuck drawing the line

For no longer
Will our waivers
Be washed away

Slow as our wind might blow
We row
This boat has turned into a ghost ship
And my corpse is rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting away
She’s rotting away
Rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting away

She's rotting away

Stomach what you are not
Breathe with the difference of earth
Believe in a mind like mine
Stomach continual pills
Swallow me
Stomach me
Savor me
Continual pills

Reflect on pity (poison, what's poison?)
Learn its true means (know poison)
Choke on my dick in the thick of a gun click
I’m rotting away

Slow as our wind might blow we row
This boat has turned into a ghost ship
And my corpse is rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting away
She’s rotting away
Rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting, rotting away

Rivers will flow to the appropriate homes
Nails will find the appropriate wrists
Rivers will flow
Rivers will flow
Rivers will flow from my wrists like wine

15. 80's Love Song

I love you
In a promise
Open and always in every situation
No rhyme or reason
The reason she’s leaving need not be given
For she’s given more than any should
Given a lifetime
Given more than any should

Love
What a premise

Come one
Come all
Come again
Fellow ladies and gentlemen
I need your utmost attention
You wanted the story on how the story begins
But I tell you matter not with the beginning
But rather with the ending
For the end will set the story

The story of a young man
A nice working lad
Trying to get back what he never really had
He was waiting on his tax return
Taxes aside
Money couldn’t save his life

He was hopeless
And left to die
All alone in the darkest of basements
In the blink of an eye
He went down

He was hopeless..

Girl you know its true
I once held care for you
But that lies neither here nor there but with the wind
Cause I tried so fucking hard to help you
Drop your guard
Just to build it higher than mountains in the end

He lashed out in denial and slander
She was always a bitch
Pussy’s always pussy
No matter what the label
Every meat will have its grade

And I’m lost in the meaning of my own words
You reaffirmed what it meant to feel abandonment
And yet you flood the banks of my establishment
And I’ve been thinking this relationship over
Over and over, its clear to me now there’s no us and we’re over

Hold the banks with what life you have left
Hold the banks with your lives
He lashed out in denial and uncouth words

What is denial?
I’m not in denial
This is denial
This is slander

She was always a bitch
Pussy’s always pussy
No matter what the label
Every meat will have its grade
She was always a bitch

Fuck it

It may be wrong but it's my only way of dealing with it
I’ll say what I want
Until the cow comes home
She’s never coming back..
She’s gone

And now he’s looking for something
Real
Alive
Breathing

And now he’s starving for someone
And now he’s dying to find himself
He’s in the field and yet the cow will never follow him home
And he’ll say what he wants
Because she’s never coming back..
And I’m heading home
