Parasite - Demo

In the gutter of the morning
when you just want to connect
and you're stumbling over looking
for somebody to impress
someone offers you a cigarette
as the sky swells up with rain
you're feeling like a stranger
now that you're starving once again
empty words bleed out like a river flows
as you stumble for your point
so the vultures wing and find
another savior to anoint
and as it's slipping fast you grab the door
and follow her outside
you write a card out on an old receipt
saying "call me anytime"
"open up the gate my friend,
i've seen you but i'm never good with names.
i see the dawn behind the empty cars now
run along before it gets too late"
and he will stay out of sight
behind the shadows, in the night
so you can't see right through the faces
of this parasite
you have spoken of the idols
moses and his gods have disdained
while she's crouched inside of a bathroom stall
that's peppered with cocaine
and so you slink out through the back door
and find yourself inside of this room
you are praying to the highway
that will unfold itself to you
"sink your teeth right through me, love
right there, don't stop, i'll make it out alright
i could never walk without you, though i
haven't moved an inch since you've arrived"
and he will sink into the night
and leave you naked in the light
so you can see right through the faces
of this parasite

Grease Bucket - Demo

heard you echoing the words i say
"we'll let the moon hang full, spit the grease in a bucket
take a little room in santa fe
and lose the faces we've created to survive these service jobs"
she says "im gonna run away
well i dont know where but ill follow my feet"
and i heard you echoing the words id say
it got me thinkin bout me and you about you
saw you leaving with a rope and a smile
saw the rice on a plate in a blizzard of white and i
hung the picture where i thought youd see
what i been to you and what you done to me and i
stumbled over to the cellar door
with a pack of the outta town smokes for cheaper
mother tell me what to do and how
she said "22 years shoulda learned by now"
its so static
life aint so dramatic
i bet i seem erratic
like a child with a handgun
skipping down the street
screaming legislation
and shooting both my feet
bet im weighing down your atmosphere
draggin you down every second that i draw you near
i think im getting outta here
gonna change my name to something that sounds sincere
and yes i think im gonna move away
well i dont know where but ill follow my feet
and ask me what i did yesterday
cause i cant think of now with all this past in play
and its so static
baby life aint so dramatic
i bet i seem erratic
listing you a poem
that you wont ever read
not knowing what is real
and what is displayed on a screen
i tried to know
tried to understand
how the world could turn
in the palm of a hand
i tried to be
what you thought i am
a simple man
with a steady hand
but aint that the way it gets
feeling used
you lend the only hand that you dont wanna lose
and i dont know when this will end
i dont know when this will end

everything must die
and death was creeping by
i thought you made the grade or
somehow skipped the grave
they say youre far away
in sky and pearly gates
but i could dig you up
and youd still look the same
brook dont be afraid
though youve grown more white than gray
and embers burn tonight
i couldnt say goodbye
but i am with you now
say shema yisrael
you had your final breath
and life is just a staircase to certain death
everthing must go
and death can be so slow
and this i ought to know
this i gotta know
but now youre buried deep
feeding a cherry tree
and death came suddenly
im certain death will come for me
