Take a sliver for a short chance of a kiss
Never said it wasn't always gonna be like this
Take another for a song of sweet regret
Raise a glass to all the hunger that ain't found you yet
Who are you?
What am I supposed to do?
Take a measure of the words that get you fed
Pull the lever on the hatch when they get spent
Take a measure of the words that get them wet
Pull the lever on the people that ain't found em yet
Lake of Fire
Below the Wire
Hey, are you looking for a face?
Same, and it's getting pretty late
But I feel like my mother
But I got time
And I sound like my father
Am I just holding lines?

Caught The Cull

I Caught The Cull
This makeshift device
could not withstand their sensor rays
It fell apart
They took me up above
and they put me on a train
Just cargo to the gods
Moving to the stars
To a disappearing land
I couldn't understand
The silence that surrounds it
I Caught The Cull
Was branded on the ass
and cut my hair in a strange way
They dropped me off
On a planet of my own
all alone to remain
And when I bit the dust
In this disappearing land
Think I'm turning into sand
At the wind's command
And the silence that surrounds it
I Caught The Cull
But it looks like they forgot about me
On this astral plane
There was a bus
And when it came along
I made for some escape
From this disappearing land
But I couldn't pay the fare
And the driver wasn't nice
Maybe the next one will be kind
In another thousand years
And the silence that surrounds it

Battle of Hollis Hill
03:44

We were waiting in the forest fire
They gave the order for to open fire and run
On the edge of the grassy plane
You could see for miles everything
Not a man or beast in sight
I rubbed my eyes in the morning light
As my brothers went ahead
I ducked behind a willow bend
Must've been half a mile away
When I heard someone take a drink and say
"Didn't think that they'd really go
Pretty sure that they all already know
"That the general's gone mad
And the whole war is a sham
I won't make a rebel yell
Just going home before I'm felled"
He went on and I held my place
You could see every person and their state
Everyone was looking tired
The general kept screaming for to fire
And advance at greater speed
As they all forged on ahead
Then I heard a rebel yell
Someone fired on the general
Who completely lost his mind
Aimed and fired on the forward line
And as ten aimed back at him
It was a captain who shot him
Threw some dirt upon my face
And I shot my foot to prove my place
