Daddy prays an unusual way Without his clothes, his scars all show Daddy prays almost every day Down on his knees, he says God please Grant me strength, serenity Or just a happy song for when the day is long My ears they ring like a telephone I'm a debtor now, now they know I'm home I still try to write through all my spite A pretty tune just to bring us through There's no silver key to this factory There's a bitter sweet melody There's no silver key to this factory

Surface Wake 02:36
Bird out on the lake, you are an empty plate Patiently, I will wait to feed For hallowed is your sound It resonates through empty space Quietly rumbling inside me, hunger is a cloud Patiently I will wait to feed For hallowed is your sound Bird, I am ashamed. I play a sickening game Bullets made from rubber break Bruises 'neath your down Bird, don't be afraid. This is a lonely place You should know you have days to go For hallowed is your sound Patiently, I will wait to feed For hallowed is your sound Try to call upon her Bird under the lake, you are an empty plate Bubbles break on the surface wake Hallowed is the sound When bubbles break on the surface wake Hallowed is the sound

You've got cigarettes and drugs, but you've got no alcohol And you're still getting laid just for looking weird Not quite what you wanted But it's god damn near Well, it's like cigarettes and drugs, but you've got no alcohol And you're still getting laid just for looking queer Not quite what you wanted God damn, it's god damn near

Alchemy 03:24
Underneath us, a path I don't trust We walk slow on the tips of our toes We grow old In-between us, a glass filled with lust It's grown cold From the tips of our tongues We turn stone We grow old

Elephant in a field All lit up, bloody tusks What did you do? You've broken out from your room Did it hold in all your sins In a trap, and did you snap? Oh, elephant in a field Elephant are you real? If any doubt, it's leaving now As I wait like bait Oh, elephant, bloody tusks all lit up There is thunder rising up from the ground And I know he must surely take me out
