STOLEN BABIES LYRICS

1. Never Come Back

[R. Sharone, D.L. Persi]

Is this a mirror, water, or distant mirage?

In the tight room, such a slick maw
No one can keep up, spinning it too far
But does it feel good?
Like the sweetest air
To run with fibs, and make them care

And it's a big room, flooded with starry eyes
And I could leave with a smile
If I could never come back

With your lights, leave us alone
It's blinding, leave us alone

It's outline like a mountain, carved out like a thug
It's mouth, a storm, a show, a trap!

Calling out to the falling rocks
We can make them stop before they get to us
Sorry if no one comes around,
They've gone fishing in a mound of forged evidence
(I thought I told you to never come back around here.
I told you to never come back)

With your lights, leave us alone
It's blinding, leave us alone

It's mouth a storm, a show, but nothing but a trap
"What? You're still here? Go away."

With your lights, leave us alone
It's blinding, leave us alone

Is this a mirror, water, or distant mirage?
I thought I told you to never come, never come, never come back

2. Splatter

Now it had come a time when nothing is aligned,
and there is movement somewhere
behind
Scattered and lost in doubt, and left to figure out
And when it struck, the mess was disgraceful

Take the knife, don't let it go for any reason
Twist it in
And get me while I'm turned around
That world is full of itself and full of treason
And you can keep it all

You're making no mistake
Your treachery could clear the room out, but
your charm could bring them right
back
You shake it like it's ancient
Swinging every little piece where it's adured and
safe
But your trail is a room and a body splattered
How can you live like that?

Take the knife, don't let it go for any reason
Twist it in
And get me while I'm turned around
That world is full of itself and full of treason
And you can keep it all

Run to the open arms of the weak and empty
Run to where it's easy
Run to the open arms of the weak and empty

[Chorus]

3. Second Sleep

Your ship is sinking, the lights are blinking
And I am watching as you drown
Your ship is sinking, and you're obsessing
The lights are blinking
You are going down
Keep asking why the boards have broke
As every scream will only choke
So many words, it doesn't move
As you're struggling to breathe, you realize....

The ship is sinking, ship is sinking
Ship is sinking, the ship is sinking

You had a warning
You kept ignoring
And now you're drowning
You are drowning

Lightning and tears
The boards have broke
And every scream has only choked
Now as your lungs take in the cold
The fading of your life is the only thing you cannot control

The ship is sinking, ship is sinking
Ship is sinking, the ship is sinking
Ship is sinking
Your ship is sinking, your ship is sinking....

4. Behind The Days

Behind the door, a struggled breath will come
Beat them, those eyes
Beat you if you try
(Moving on the other side)
Beat you if you try

Out went the days when the diamonds showed light
(Your paranoia's your friend)
It's the wind... from them
(It's the wind)

Destroy the days the heart won't slow down
Wave them goodbye
Beat them if you try

5. Mousefood

The sun is gone (the mouse closes his eyes)
The trail is shiny (leading up to the prize)
We take what we can (take what we can)
We will take it all

The roots are buried underground
We will not starve before the mouse

Somebody said (never take the whole thing)
But greed is mighty (we can take the whole thing)
And since we're down here (since we're down here)
We will take it all
We're far beneath the flowers
The gatherers and hunters

The instinct to take everything
Why not stay down here
And watch him starve

We won't leave it but he don't want it
(none for the mouse)

Climb down
When he wakes he will find
Nothing for him, nothing for the mouse
One dies, one prospers, we play

Mourn the mouse

We leak into the whole
(hair will poison your cache like a cavity)
Winner takes hoards
Shove it down.

6. Don't Know

You don't know what hate is yet
But you will
You don't know what pain is
But in time you won't remember when you lived without it
But you're innocent? That's funny
If that were true you wouldn't be here in the first place
Resentful? That's natural.
But you'll find ways to cope

I wish I could tell you there was more to look forward to
(I wish I could say)
I wish there was more for you
(I wish I could tell you)
I wish I could say that it gets better than this
(I wish there was)
More than this.

Destructive thoughts will come and go
But mostly they'll just come
Relax, don't think about it
Ignore them, they'll go away
That's easier said than done

Confusion leads to frustration
And that just leads to anger
Depression, anxiety will be your best friends
Get to know them well
[Chorus]

I wish there was more than this

7. I Woke Up

I woke up and there was a power outage,
I woke up and the hall was black.
I woke up and I couldn't see the corner
He was there.
What's there
I woke up and saw nothing.

8. Swimming Hole

I know the trap
I've always avoided it
But when the star fell in the desert, I fell down as well
It kept me in the sand
The asphalt laid a plan and helpless to the draw
that pulled me in and kept me down

Down in the swimming hole, it smells like alcohol
and all the things I couldn't see that night are killing me
Down in the swimming hole, it smells like alcohol
and all the things you did, I'll never know

The sky deceives, it gives, it burns until you learn as well
If you sew yourself to the clouds, you'll live
And maybe, you'll wipe the grins from your eyes

Down the swimming hole, it smells like alcohol
And all the things I think when I am weak are killing me

Lie, dissolve, its less than low
This time I sell my soul
Less starts to show
This vicious side
This torch is in my jaw

Down in the swimming hole, it smells like alcohol
and all the things I couldn't see that night are killing me
Killing me

9. Dried Moat

Entrance to hell is right outside my window
I stay in, it's no better inside
It's such a mess in here, filthy, unlivable
I try to breath in here,
then I take a step onto the floor and make it outside

And it's cold and ugly under the pipes and
nobody gets where it's safe
I fell into the moat where it's dirty and dry
And nothing is looking the same

Entrance to hell is right outside my window
I stay in, it's no better inside

Before you came to me it was easy to hide
And in my hour of need, when it all blew up, you
made your cut and left it to bleed

[Chorus]

But no one ever gets outside without losing part of their life
I'm not across, but at least I'm out
No bridge in sight
And nobody gets where it's safe

I am stuck in here in the dried moat
The dogs stuck here with their bones
I am stuck in here in the dried moat
It's all clogged here with their bones
[Chorus]

No one ever gets outside without losing part of their life

10. Prankster

Making money off their stupidity
Making them fall to the ground on down on their knees

They glorify, deify, and follow me
An image with a smile is all it takes
They glorify, deify, and follow me
I'm as ruthless as I am fake

They can't see, I'm lying through my teeth
So easily, I lie right through my teeth

I suppose I'm a parasite
I feed off attention
I have an insatiable need for power, fame, and adulation

They glorify, deify, and follow me
An image with a smile is all it takes
They glorify, deify, and follow me
I'm as ruthless as I am fake

They can't see, I'm lying through my teeth
So easily, I lie right through my teeth

If it weren't for the weak-minded I'd have no authority
I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing that they're blindly following

(Still I remain a most malevolent fiend, leading
all the brain washed fools with their heard mentality)
(can't they see, I'm lying through my teeth?)
(so easy to deceive, I'm lying through my teeth)

They can't see, I'm lying through my teeth
So easily, I lie right through my teeth

Glorify, deify, follow!

11. Birthday Song

On your birthday you went to play and get away
it's a day late
HappyBirthday, HappyBirthday
HappyBirthday, HappyBirthday
When the round dogs' breath smell like bogs try a biscuit blow on candles
HappyBirthday, HappyBirthday
HappyBirthday, HappyBirthday
Happy Happy Happy Happy...
Happy
You're the paper in the scissors
Take your trinket
Close the blanket
Happy Birthday
Happy

12. Civil Disguise

We started out as little kids believing things were hidden
Straight surfaces no cracks beneath
I wanted to believe it

We realize at the time there isn't much of a burn
Wait 'til your turn

Don't try to fool yourself
You're sweating all around your smile
Under civil disguise
Those senses were a human voice

There is another side to all this pressure under your suit
Here on the losing end look at them based on how they looked at you
Such a slave on this chain until the day we are done
Isn't it fun?

Don't try to fool yourself
You're sweating all around your smile
Under civil disguise
Those senses were a human voice

You will find that the fly's based on nothing
Just a way to hide from the fear
You kept avoiding

Don't try to fool yourself
Under civil disguise

Put out my hands to the delusion
When I look at you I'm a fool
I've got one too
I try to fool myself
By wasting time at this fork in the road
Under civil disguise
Those senses were a human voice

13. Grubbery (Burnt To A Crisp)

You are mistaken when you come with shovels in your hands
The ghosts caught between your teeth will find their way home

And empty hides left that you sniff out, will consume you
Take themselves back
Watching your teeth bend closer to the ground
Raining from your mouth, watering and hungry
And as your feet walk closer to the mouth
You'll be the grubbery for your robbery

And how you will pay for the rush of rot through your heart
The fork turns beneath the ground
It ends this way

[Chorus]

You cannot keep all the lives that you eat...
And empty hides left that you sniff out, will consume you
Take themselves back
When you chow now, you should look out
When the ground moves, hungry like you.
