Spin the Black Circle
Spin the Black Circle|| Tremor Christ

Spin the Black Circle

See this needle. See my hand.
Drop, drop, dropping it down, oh so gently.
Here it comes. I touch the plane.
Turn me up, won't turn you away.

Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
Spin, spin... Spin the black, spin the black...
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
Spin, spin...

Pull it out 'a paper sleeve.
Oh my joy. Only you deserve conceit.
Oh so big. My whole world.
I'd rather you, rather you than her.

Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
Spin, spin... Spin the black, spin the black.
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
Spin, spin...

You're so warm.
Oh, the ritual when I lay down your crooked arm.

Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
Spin, spin... Spin the black, spin the black.
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
Spin, spin...

Tremor Christ

Winded is the sailor drifting by the storm.
Wounded is the organ he left all bloodied on the shore.
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her drowning in his wake.
Daily taste the salt of her tears, but chance blamed fate.

Little secrets...tremors turned to quake.
The smallest oceans still get big, big waves.

Ransom paid the devil. He whispers pleasing words.
Triumphant are the angels if they can get there first.

Little secrets...tremors turned to quake.
The smallest oceans still get big, big waves.

I'll decide...take the dive...take my time, not my life...
Wait for signs...believe in lies to get by. It's divine.
You know what it's like?

Turns the bow back, tows and drops the line.
Puts his faith and love in tremor christ.

Not For You
Not For You|| Out of My Mind (live)

Not For You

Restless soul, enjoy your youth.
Like Muhammad, hits the truth.
Can't escape from the common rule -
If you hate something don't you do it too.

Small my table. Sits just two.
Got so crowded. I can't make room.
Where did they come from? Stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to you?

This is not for you!

My friends call me Ed...they call me...
My friends they don't scream...my friends don't call...
My friends don't...

All that's sacred comes from youth.
Dedications...naive and true.
With no power, nothing to do.
I still remember. Why don't you?

This is not for you!
Never was for you! Fuck you!
This is not for you!

Out of My Mind (live)

Out of my mind...out of my mind...
All of the time...

Wish you could help me mister...
Wish you could lift me up...
Wish you could pack my parachute mister...
Wish you could pull me up.

The winds have change, I'm stuck beneath the rain...
I wish you could help me up...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
Once inside, I'm out of my mind...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
Once inside, I'm out of my mind...

Wish you could help me, give me a pill...
Just a little drink that I could swill.
A little something, anything, anything, I'll try all...

I ain't got nowhere to go from here.
I'm just about this far
From drowning in my very own tears.
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
Once inside, I'm out of my mind...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...

I don't feel so hot...
out of my mind...

Where do I go? Where do I stay?
I got no place to lay in the hay.
Where do I go to soothe my head?
Guess I'll turn on music instead.
Where do I see? Where do I shine?
No one wants to take my mind.
Where do I go? How do I feel?
Guess I'll waste away in here...

Out of my mind...out of my mind....
Out of my mind every single time...

Immortality
Immortality|| Rearviewmirror (The Frogs)

Immortality

Vacate is the word.
Vengeance has no place so near her.
Cannot find the comfort in this world.
Artificial tear. Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers?
Vulnerable. Wisdom can't adhere.

A truant finds home, and a wish to hold on,
But there's a trapdoor in the sun. Immortality.

As privileged as a whore.
Victims in demand for public show.
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door.
Holier than thou. How? Surrendered, executed, anyhow.
Scrawl dissolved. Cigar box on the floor.

A truant finds home, and a wish to hold on to...
But saw the trapdoor in the sun.

I cannot stop the thought of running in the dark.
Coming up a which way sign,
All good truants must decide.
Stripped and sold, mom.
Auctioned forearm ... and whiskers in the sink.
Truants move on, cannot stay long.
Some die just to live...

Rearviewmirror (The Frogs)

I took a drive today.
Time to emancipate.
I guess it was the beatings made me wise.
But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize.
I couldn't breathe...holdin' me down.
Hand on my face...pushed to the ground.
Emnity gauged...united by fear.
Forced to endure what I could not forgive.

I seem to look away.
Wounds in the mirror waved.
It wasn't my surface most defiled.
Head at your feet...fool to your crown.
Fist on my plate...swallowed it down.
Enmity gaged...divided by fear.
Tried to endure what I could not forgive.

Saw things...saw things...saw things...saw things...
Clearer...clearer...
Once you were in my rearview mirror.

I gather speed from you fucking with me.
Once and for all I'm far away.
I hardly believe, finally the shades are raised.

Saw things so much clearer
Once you were in my rearviewmirror.
