Lyrics for the “Scripture”!!

lyrics by Zach Davidson music by Vendetta Red 2011

DADDA CHIM DIDDA CHUM(HANGIN AROUND)
take a walk where the ivy grows see the lamb in the lions clothes
in white sheets a coterie of ghosts the ignorant reap what the intolerant sow
wizard quoting from scripture i’ll make you eat your words
you pass your judgement i picture you bound to the pyre with your face on fire
“get out” come out and see whats hanging around
“lights out” hate thick like a fog in this town
“bite down” on strange fruit swaying up in the trees
you can’t get back till you get back on it
with gods words and your daddy’s gun enough rope to getcha lynchin done
just some good ol’ boys out for a night of fun dragged by the tongue boy and you better run

BLANK SCREENS ETC.
scarred retinas remember recalling infinite loss kids caught in the crossfire you were caught on the cross
you say that “heaven is a fairytale for idiots to frighten little children so afraid of the dark” but proof is in the eye of terror hope is fleeting hell is real
and love is unimaginable, intangible, ethereal
avert your eyes
to blank screens shallow dreams and aspirations
the desperate hopes of your generation
chasing wealth and praise felt so long over due
its everything you want but its everything you’re not
dragged kicking and screaming from religions strangle hold
disciple to science fiction mission break the mold
give in to experience and excess and never give a thought to the price of human waste just keep eating keep killing keep fucking keep dying keep lying keep crying while you stuff your fucking face
avert your eyes you’re so entertained
poor me where’s my share you say you’re gonna be so famous yeah
you don’t need talent just your decent looks and your daddy’s money
in the apocalypse we will eat you

SFIGAT0 (COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY)
headlines form in velvet skies i see them bearing down on me and i’m spellbound eyes half closed we traipse the high wire both arms extended to the sky ascension
i lift the veil from your new face
let down love you were after, no sound choke on your laughter
headlines “they’re coming to take me away” now baby
sing to me of violence and virtue i swear i’ll never hurt you
headlines “they’re coming to take me away”
lips so cruel ill spoken lies twelve seconds stretched across the veins of memory ancient curse spills from your eyes in some mangled version of your mothers tongue then you kiss me
disguised a smile i despise as sharp as knives they’e slicing up your eyes if only you were here with me tonight to swallow up the darkness in your light.
yeah

AURORA DIVE TEAM
mainline late for the rapture dive pariah you’ll find your messiah when you land
gifted tongue like a razor. blessed, incensed, drown little parasitic waste
i’m not fucking around
face down dream full needles last gasp plunge into darkness backhanded whore in a hotel halloween is all year you’re dressed for the occasion face smeared with the latest abrasion where’s your tomorrow? just another day in hell

CLOSE TO ME
The mirror cuts a ghastly shape all hollow eyes sunk in a mask of pallid flesh
peering back at me
the hours vanish empty days and trembling hands peel last years skin away from new, the glistening sheen of youth
everyone gets scared love no one likes to be alone
no matter where you are love you’ll never be to far from home
I’ll rip your fucking heart out and hold it up for you to see there’s nothing you can do girl i’ll keep you close to me
your stomach heaves with each caress the taste of my dementia wet upon your lips eyes wide in disbelief
you’ll wear each threat like a promise, kinder words never said i’ll face my fears with my conscience clear and my hands stained red.
