Skin Of My Teeth
I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree

A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see

No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth

My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser of my room

My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see in time
The white lights a train
Bearing down on me

I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That that doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger

I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh, to close the drawer

Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand

Fools like me who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium
As the know it all scholar
Down in my seat of Judgment
Gavel's bang uphold the law

Up on my soapbox a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than thou could be messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die

They killed my wife and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake!
Paid by the alliance to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in with judicial granite
Because I don't say it
Don't mean I ain't thinking it
Next thing you know
They'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said
Now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings

Lucretia
Sitting up late at night
I tiptoe through the darkness
Cold as hell black as spades
Aware of my immediate surrounding

In my place I escape
Up into my hideout
Hiding from everyone
My friends all say
Dave you're mental any way, hey!

Drift into a deeper state
I stalk the cobwebbed stairways
Dirt grits beneath my feet
The stair creaks I precariously sneak

Hypnosis guides my hand
I slip slide through the walkways
Sit in granny's rocking chair
Memories are whirling by yeah!

Reminisce in the attic
Lucretia waits impatiently
Cobwebs make me squint
The cobra so eloquently glints

Moonbeams surge through the sky
The crystal ball's energized
Surely that like the cat waiting
Lucretia rocks away

Symphony Of Destruction
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads have roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
Have warring for the heavens
Have peaceful man stands tall
