Seeing Me
(words & music: Brennan)

I see you look at me
I see you'd cry for me
I see you'd die for me
as you fall through my eyes
I see you lose your grace
I see it in your face
I see the consternation
as you realize your mine
I see you look at me
I see you'd die for me
I see the stars as they fall from the skies
I see the naked fear
I see the desire clear
I see the trepidation
in your hope that it's divine
I see you lose your grace
I see it in your face
I see the consternation
as you realize your mine
I see you look at me
I see you'd die for me
I see you'd cry for me
I see you looking at your future and it's mine
I see you look at me
I see you'd die for me
I see the orbits decay and I watch the planets die
I can see it in your eyes
I see your love and it's blind


Desire
(words: Brennan/music: Livermore)

Livid passion, a fluid scar, courses through my
anguised heart
Enforcing spectral images of beauty
Can you tell what's going on with me?
Little or nothing is not enough for one whose appetite
is such
That forever doesn't cut it, now how could it?
When I see you I lose my grip
When you don't notice me I feel sick
Nothing matters, nothing's right
I just wanna make you my wife
Can you tell what's going on with me?
Where's my courage gotten to now?
I was gonna talk to you now
Gonna go right up to you now
I gotta go right up to you now
Can you tell what's going on with me?
I'm in love


Now's the Time
(words & music: Brennan)

You and I are now the same I really think that's something that you should know
You're the kind of guy that hides behind a guise to placate your savage ego
If you could give me two seconds of your time I'd teach you about self worth
But you're too busy talkin' bout your genitals and your wallet and you're lyin' about both
You want it, but...
You are not me you're the enemy you are on the other side
You're the thing fingers are pointing at you're panicked but you act so blithe
If you could give me two seconds of your precious time I'd show you the nature of possession
But you're too busy sucking up to all the fucking suckers trying to cop an erection
You want it, but...
I wanna know how far you're gonna go
I wanna know about you
You want it, but...
Infernal malaise like a carcass draped across your mind
Gnarled doom-laden hands pumping interlocked with other swine
If you could give me two seconds of your precious time I'd show you a vision of contention
But you're too busy carving your initials in people to pay any attention
You want it well you know yourself so well you want it well
Now's the time


I'm Gonna Wait
(words: Brennan-Lanigan/music: Matz-Lanigan)

I'm gonna wait
How do I convince the sun to shine
And burn through a veneer of veiled crimes?
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna filter through all the lies
Stand in my way
And you'll find out what it's like
You: crumpled in a pose of acrimony
Demanding retribution for a failed life
Your hands groping wildly stand testimony
To an unfortunate appetite
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna filter through all the lies
I'm gonna wait
Then destroy what I despise
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna filter through all the lies
Stand in my way
And you'll find out what it's like
I'm waiting
For you to get it
Now: you thought the light of the sun was bright?
So tell me how you are coping
with the searing bite of the night?
Took the fight right out of you
Now the darkness is your wife
The light of your life is a sable bride
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna filter through all the lies
I'm gonna wait
Then destroy what I despise
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna filter through all the lies
Stand in my way
And you'll find out what
Find out what
Find out what it's like


Humble Reminder
(words & music: Brennan)

People got it better
People got it worse
All I got is what I got:
My life
All I have to do is not pay any attention to you and I'll be fine
All I have to be is something true and dear to me and I'll be fine
Some people got more success
Some got more failures
All I got is what I got:
Some people got bigger dicks
Some got smaller dicks
All I got is what I got:
My dick
My life
All I have to do is not pay any attention to you and I'll be fine
All I have to be is something true and dear to me and I'll be fine
I'll be fine


Elton's Johnson
(music: Brennan)


Gone For Good
(words: Lanigan/music: Brennan)

Well, once again I'm down and out; can't you see the look on my face?
And now you want me gone; how can I get out of this place?
Well, I was kidding myself, trying to relieve what I've tasted
Now and then I think of you and all the goddamned time I wasted
On this lie you call love, what a gruesome tale you've spun
With this lie you cried love unaware of the damage you'd done
One more time you cry love, what a chilling tale you tell
And this lie you call love, baby, sent me straight to hell
So now I'm gone for good
The memory of you and me, I gotta burn it to the ground
It was all too much to take, so you won't find me around
And you slip through the cracks of a city gone insane
You're the same, you'll always be, and I've become derranged
On this lie you call love, what a gruesome tale you've spun
With this lie you cried love unaware of the damage you'd done
One more time you cry love, but it's not love you're chasing
It's a lie called love, and I'm completely wasted
So now I'm gone for good
I'm gone
I won't pretend I don't got doubts
I got regrets flat out
On this lie you call love, what a gruesome tale you've spun
With this lie you cried love unaware of the damage you'd done
One more time you cry love, but baby you're chasing a lie
The lie's called love, and now it's time to let it die
So now I'm gone for good
Now I'm gone for good


New Ways to Fall
(words: Brennan/music: Anderson)

In your mind you're not the same
In your body you are incarcerated
Charred ruin of your soul feels the flame
Living to find liberated incarnation
New ways to fall
Bleed away from any number of fresh wounds
Prove without a doubt you're forsaken the womb
Let all the others proclaim your doom
Laugh with abandon when they point at your tomb
'cuz in your mind you're not the same
In your body you are incarcerated
Charred ruin of your soul feels the flame
Living to find liberated incarnation
New ways to fall
You'll live to dance on your grave
You'll live to dance on your own grave


I'm From Nowhere
(words & music: Brennan)

I was born in San Francisco, Ca.
But that ain't where I'm from today
I've lived all over this fucking west coast
But I can't say I've found a home
No place to raise a toast to
I'm a stateless nation
In a nationless state
I think I'll masturbate
I'm from nowhere
I lived in Tacoma for awhile
Lived in the Inland Empire
Man, what a hassle
Lived in Lakebay, Longbranch and Home
God help me then I moved to Seattle
It must be nice to have a place called home
It's a feeling that I've never known
I guess I'll keep looking
What else is there to do?
I'm not a rolling stone
I'm a homeless one
I'm a stateless nation
In a nationless state
I think I'll masturbate I'm from nowhere


Forward into Grace
(words: Brennan/music: Brennan-Matz)

I have the chance to choose to throw it all away
I have the guts to recognize a life that's not for me
Smile fixed on my face
Forward into grace
I leave talking to the people at the coffee shops
I leave oppression to the bullies and the fucking cops
I leave Armageddon to a world with no soul
I dance the dance of zeros, no one knows what I'm dancing for
No
Smile fixed on my face
Forward into grace
I forsake my place
Move forward into grace
Meanwhile in the real world only a few will ever be heard
A host of demons beckons me
Can't understand that I'm truly free and I won't go
Back to the herd
I got a bone to pick with the world
And I'll do it like a dissident
Behind the lines where they can't find me
Smile fixed on my face
Forward into grace
Forsake my rightful place
Move forward into grace


Wriggle
(words: Brennan-Coates/music: Lanigan)

I'm just wiggling around in my head
I'm really wriggling around in my head
The guy you went with before me
Was all bent up and sick
So now you're going with me?
That's like changing seats on the Titanic
I gotta give you the credit, girl
'cuz, baby, you got some guts
Your friends think you're crazy
And they're calling you a slut, but
I'm just wiggling around in my head
I'm really wriggling around in my head
Your brother's drivin' around now
He's huntin' me down
He's got a pistol in the glove box
We're on our way out of town
The cabin your parents own
Is a one day ride
We're travelin' in my car
'cuz you're not old enough to drive and
I'm just wiggling around in my head
I'm really wriggling around in my head
I'm just wiggling around in my head
I'm really wriggling around in my head
You and me by the fire
On that elk skin rug
Your thighs are on fire
You reach for my love
And now you're grindin' and slidin' and ridin'
So majestic on top
And now I'm slammin' and rammin' and crammin'
I think my eyes are gonna pop
Your brother kicks in the door now
With your dad by his side and they're
Brandishing pistols and a shotgun
And it's not just my erection that's gonna die


Freeburger
(words: Brennan-Lanigan/music: Brennan)

Freeburger-on my plate
Freeburger-I can't wait
Freeburger-back for more
Freeburger-what a score
Freeburger-with some fries
Freeburger-what a nice surprise
Freeburger-you can't beat it
Freeburger-I'm gonna eat it


Punk Rock is Big Business
(words & music: Brennan)

All alone I sit in my room
I'm kickin' back and I'm listenin' to tunes
There's no mtv or radio involved
These are songs that haven't yet been bought
I can't believe that it's come to this
Punk rock is big business
There's nothin' wrong with makin' some money
I don't give a fuck what label someone's on
What bothers me is being taken for a dummy
Sellin' me some bogus image that was a pose all along
You ever notice a lot of bands that make it big
Are watered-down, bullshit versions of the real thing?
Sellin' records to the frat boys and jocks
Gonna stay in my room where I know i can rock
I can't believe that it's come to this
Punk rock is big business
But I can believe people settle for hits
That Joe Public believes in punk rock and big business
That it's a commodity
That punk rock is big business


Biggest Dog
(words: Brennan/music & concept: Livermore)

They go on their morning rounds: humane society and the pound
Take their kids and tell the guy that their dog ran away last night
He looks at the kids and sighs; tells them round the back to come
Asks them what their dog looks like, they say, "He's the biggest one!"
They go back the way they came with a dog that has no name
Get him home, get him ready; doors open at 11:30
You go in, and you sit down; price is right for a pound of a hound
If you knew you'd stand agog; your date ate the Biggest Dog!


Homo
(words & music: Brennan)

I'm not a fag
It's not my bag
But just 'cuz it's not for me
Doesn't mean it's not for everybody
And now I'm gonna tell you what I think:
There's a little homo in all of us
And it's just dyin' to get out
There's a little homo in all of us
Like when you're bonding with your friend
And you go to give that guy a hug
And it lasts a little bit longer
A little big longer than it should:
There's a little homo in all of us
And it's just dyin' to get out
There's a little homo in all of us
It doesn't mean you're gonna suck on some guy's dick
But the idea of it doesn't have to make you sick
Or scared or angry or ashamed or embarassed:
There's a little homo in all of us
And it's just dyin' to get out
There's a little homo in all of us
So, if you're inclined, let it out


Girl Leaves Boy, Boy Writes Song
(words: Livermore-Brennan/music: Livermore)

The smile on my face is a lie
You're the reason it's there and you know why
Don't play dumb with me
The smile on my face is the best
'cuz it's a joke in itself and you know it
Don't act blind you can see
Are you ready 'cuz I'm ready for you
Are you dreading what you're gonna do?
I could tell by the sound of your voice
That I was gonna regret your choice
How in the world could this be?
Are you ready for a life without me?
Do you really wanna live without me?
Tell me truthfully
Are you ready 'cuz I'm ready for you
Are you dreading what you're gonna do?
Well, I'm the one that you're doing it to
Better off or better luck?
Who can say what I thought
Imagination of a child is always right
But you've done more than frighten me this time
You've excused me from life
You think there's someone who can love you as well?
Do you think you're gonna find someone else?
You got an ice cube's chance in hell
Are you ready 'cuz I'm ready for you
Are you dreading what you're gonna do?
Well I'm the one that you're doing it to
Are you dreading what you're gonna do?


Radar Hate
(words & music: Brennan)

I'm gonna kill you
I'm gonna blow you up
I'm gonna set you on fire
I'm gonna fuck you up
You've been fucking with people your whole life
Now you're gonna find out what it's like
I'm gonna kill you
You're a goddamned waste of skin
I want you to know ahead of time
this is the end
You've been fucking with people your whole life
Now you're gonna find out what it's like
aahhh
I'm a fucking wrecking ball
You're a building wall
I'm a goddamned wrecking ball
You're a fucking building wall
You're going down
You're gonna die


To the Guy That Accosted Me At 45th & University
(words & music: Brennan)

I walk away
Spit on me I walk away
I walk away
Threaten me I walk away
Do you think I care about the color of your skin?
Should I pay for generations of sin?
I walk away
Free to walk away today
Do you think I wanna take it?
Do you think I have to eat shit?
I can walk away
Free to walk away today
Free to walk away today
Do you think that I don't think about fighting back?
Do you think I all you 'nigger' behind your back?
Do you think I wanna keep you and yours down?
Would you use an excuse to pull a trigger and gun me
down?
I can walk away
I can walk away
I'm not against who or what you are
(so leave me the fuck alone)


Hello Hollywood, This is David
(words: Lanigan-Brennan/music: Lanigan)

Hell Hollywood, this is David
I'm just calling to see
What you're doing, how you've been
Who you know, who you see
Things haven't changed much around here
I'm still getting into trouble
I'd like to be truely concerned with your progress
But I'm busy with problems of my own
There's one way out
Only one way out
Hello Hollywood, this is David
Just trying to touch base
Nothing ever changes in this place I'm in
So that's why I'm calling you today
There's one way out
Only one way out
I know you know what it's doing to you
Are you sorry?
Blow by blow on those you know
Are you sorry?
Day by day more decay
Are you sorry?
Toe to toe and you'll know
And you'll be sorry
So long Hollywood, this is David saying
Just thought I'd drop ya'll a line
If I ever hear your voice or see your face or have your trust again
I'll know it was all by design
There's one way out
Only one way out
One way out
Only one way out:
You gotta repent


Sleep
(words & music: Brennan)

I take off in high hopes somedays
Unaffected by the maladay that's been thrown my
way
On those days life is good; I celebrate
But it's not long before my nerves start to grate
That's why I love to sleep
All the problems in my life fade away
That's why I love to sleep
It's the only way I can turn off my brain
Sometimes people ask me, "How was your day?"
And I just woke up, so I say, "What day?"
Then they look at me like I'm lazy
But I'm just keeping the evil spirits at bay
Why can't they understand that it's not a game?
oft' during the course of my waking day
I feel like blowing myself or someone else away
That's why I love to sleep
All the problems in my life fade away
That's why I love to sleep
It's the only way I can turn off my brain
