Colossal Yes


		THE FRAUDULENT SINGER Bid for the scalping while lining up the heads Take to the temping and the flirting with the dead Swill in the fooling with it's folk and it's lore Sicken in the prospects in the stature of the gore He knows what he's selling when he's selling who you are Franchise the worth till it's worth no more Yes he knows what he's singing when he's singing his song Yes he knows what he's singing when he's singing his song So carry on Crippled in the depression in it's relic and it's lust Little man powerless for broke or for bust Assigned to irrelevance, positioned to the side He faked his own funeral at the eulogy they cried Mother the rebirth with its new destiny A shout from the crowd with his fraudulent glee Yes he knows what he's singing when he's singing his song Yes he knows what he's singing when he's singing his song So carry on A BALLAD IS THE AIR THAT YOU BREATHE Stay for a while and they will show you It's brief and it's tart it'll stain through They'll tear you apart with desperate measures Warranted or not. It's a ballad to be It's the air that your breathe Wipe your chin, blood is messy Invite the evils in retire early Drop out of sight and be forgotten Dissolve into night It's a ballad to be It's the air that your breathe Rest assured there's little to be gained Swept aside abandon in the fray Rest assured there's little to be gained Boundaries drawn surrendered in the fray It's over now, but they just started Dragged to the Earth flight aborted Embittered and beat expired instincts Buried beneath CHARLEMAGNE'S BIG THAW The lion's share has found it's way to you Commandeered with any method at hand Slaying like you're immortal and immune While coughing up and trying to comprehend Charlemagne's sodden blades accrued For the kingdom's march is entitled and in demand They know when they've had enough They know when it's fading out No one is going to show you how No one is going to lend it out straight to you They know when they've had enough They know when it's thawing out Retreating back to who you once were Bare reserves, no auxiliary Razor's edge against the tender truth Slicing through every minor foreign affair Dependant on those dire attributes For the lion's share is famine and defused MARBLE MOMENTS Drawn away from the marble moment, give to the need Governed by the thankless hours anchored in routine Surviving in the common traces it levees in disguise Compromise the safest keeping it never strikes twice An eye for an eye now, there's smoke in the smile Protests have their price so soak up your fill Celebrate the blonded dawn with the dancing dogs Crawling up the withering heights there ain't nothing wrong There's contempt for the marble mountains that tower above Sabor tooth, ruthless feedings, eating their young Speculate the spoils of theories, disputing the plague Revolting plots immense and blazing till the dying day The Moments will reveal, the moments will withstand Conquer and command There's a breach in the marble archway, the favors decline Tolerate the threats of extinction the waning sign The pledge refused, dispersed and used progress detained But every once and less than awhile it'll find it's way THEY FEAST ON US / WE FEED ON THEM There they go they're slipping away again In the throws of audacity Rushed through the ragged avenues There they go the drifting away again Mistaken case of identity Untouched oblivion stomp and strut There they go shooting off again Suited up in their battles best Taking sides drawing the great divides There they go, there they go Here they stand chewing the fats of sin Sweetmeats of luxury Picked clean expending the liberty Here they stand lording in command High-heeled nobility Status blues adhering to the rules There they go, here they stand Here they rest swatting at the flies Blending in with the lighter shades Sallow tinged reluctant dividends Here they rest fitted under glass Well-preserved neutrality Hollow shelled tiny citadels There they go, here they rest Here they rest, there they go So feast easily ECONOMY OF TURQUOISE Last gasp of the siren's hoax Swallowed up in the vast unknown Sunken down in the catacombs On the trail the tears do flow Endeavors of the wounded knee Of the vestige the dying breed Birthstone of turquoise gleam Lashing out unrelenting sting She's spinning hopes to stay Soft strands of gold She's spinning thread to stay For reasons untold Spartan flares of form the flourished peek Biting back at the naked steed Singe the wings of the Valkyries Defiance pricks in disbelief Soiled ranks of the whipping post Momentous strength relays and condones Of the stake of the suffered feat Remain in light for the centuries For reasons untold she's kicking For reasons unknown she's fighting She navigates to the next stage NOTHING BUT TAR & FEATHERS She's taking the name of another man to thee she does wed Concealing the deeds of her family tree, living a life that is led Indulged in the traits, blemished and strained, not heavy nor precious her stone With privy they pry the imbedded demise exposing her casualty A beauty transparent and cheap Departed and gone, deserving to deserve The merciful ways shoulders the weight of the world Tattered and torn, deserving to deserve The merciful ways shoulders the weight divine Depleting away, bolster estranged, choir to the voice of command Consigned to reside by the faltering side, his futures were fevered but mild Salt of the Earth at length he did stand with the promise of the mirth in the wings The cover burned up, the heels came down, his curtain was not velvet nor sweet Tied to the tail of the beast With the tar and the feather brought down to this world It's defined and it's certain forever to be Brought back to the fate that lies deep within OUTSKIRTS OF RADIANT All those thrills achieved, so you've outlived the wasted life You cant' even conjure why it's turned so bare so debonair The gilded pharaoh's call they'll consume us they'll replace us all It's alright if you fall it's only prime so far behind The signed sonnets sail, the course set in the wakes we trail We'll bid them a brave farewell in jubilee top civility Slender trails of the serpentine, accepting the gist of all things The almighty aren't so mighty they're of their own but fail to see Outskirts of the radiant, reduced down to a simmering sour While players slash and devour what they've earned divorce concurred The garden gates adjure, Acapulco fine parody once brave is lying to see In the mended throngs where we belong Where they belong Where we belong SMOLDERING STEEPS Riding high in paramount in obvious display Summoned to the wicked sect putting caliber to the age Deceiving realms of tailored wit assumptions to exceed In pursuit so prominent in the shallows of conceit Golden curls of opulence so easily dismissed That milk is full of kindness now suckle the sagging breast An ill-advised expenditure hemorrhaged every dime Cheapen in the circumstance a borrowed privileged life Heady from the gains In an unforgiving way Thinking that you're bigger than your are Believing that you're better than you are It shows, it disowns and discards Thinking that you're bigger than you are The tempered lines persist and remain A different life would probably be the same It's lurking in the widow sill it's creeping along the bed Praying on the subtleties smolders beneath the brim Presents itself so immaculate perfection like disease Indignant in the consequence ungrateful infamy Gasping for a breath In an unforgiving way
