Pure and Good

In a long forgotten seaside town
We live underground
Where the hum gets loud
Sending waves
Telepath
In a church where time can't pass
Marks on our hands
Black spots
Ones who god forgot
Cursed blade
Make us whole
Grant the strength to send these souls
Pure and good
We are everything we should
Pure and good
Gotta stand back now as it starts
It gets loud before the quiet part
Brightened lights and tired dark
Calling out to every spark
Blood runs thin now
It begins now
Scene in silence
Hear our sins now
Every honest one among us
Broken promises above us
Pure and good
We are everything we should
Pure and good
Holding nothing back
Give it all away
Cause you are everything
Every time and place
With no more to see
Than the wreckage left down here
Calamity conceived
All bloodied and sincere
Is this a joke to you
Our empty suffering souls
I'll sever this for good
And take back what you stole

Factory shutdown
Leave your work gloves
By the timeclock
On your way out
Reception has papers
For you to sign
Waivers
So good luck
And good night
Job retraining starts in one month
Draining my savings in the meantime
Software younger than my son is
Never seen anything like this
Shame came in just like a flood would
Over and over a sober reminder
That I am replaceable
Graft machine to skin
I will do anything to get in
Everyone wants someplace nice
To lay their head down
And feel all right
Graft machine to skin
I will do anything to get in
Will do anything to get in

Never Been A Way

Let the tension
Pull at the string
Contradictions
Lay it all clean
There's never been a way out of this
Never been a way out of this
There's never been a way out of this
Never been a way
As we melt slow
And soldier on
Can't stop to think
Thirty years gone
You can feel the itch
Under your skin come back again
But you don't scratch
You don't react
There's never been a way out of this
Never been a way out of this
There's never been a way out of this
Never been a way
Exist for profit
Bare your soul for all to see
Make a little money
Try to keep yourself clean
There's never been a way out of this
Never been a way out of this
There's never been a way out of this
Never been a way

When I see you
I'll be smiling
You won't remember
But you'll remind me
Every day
Happy new year
Every day
A souvenir
I'll be your sunlight
When you get cold
I'll lend a hand
To help you find your way home

Take the highway south
No exits, no turns
Just the God-fearing billboards
And the engine burn
You don't know what's in the trunk
You didn't ask
Just got a place and a time
And a heavy bag of cash
Oh the things I would have done
Oh the things I do
Turn the radio off
Let the silence fill the scene
Never ask for their name
Never ask a God damned thing
You'll never want to go back there
In your life
You've got enough now to be enough now
All right
Oh the things I would have done
Oh the things I do
Eyes closed in a hurricane
The center of it all
It's picking up
But I'm keeping pace
I know it's not for long
Cause in a second time splits
Fractures in the sky
And all around the world dissolves
Spirals back into the
I knew it all along
It always comes to this
I knew it all along
And I won't change a thing
Take the highway south
No exits, no turns
Just the God-fearing billboards
And the engine burn
You don't know what's in the trunk
You didn't ask
Just got a place and a time
And a heavy bag of cash
