To The Nines - Only Crime

Once upon a time I believed I could change the world but I was wrong

Finding solace in the vitriol and the anti-social context for so long

Cursed to keep gazing backward

And never never look ahead

A pitchfork of a destination

Submerged in a sea of red

These nightmares never go away

Still bound by chains of self decay

To simply saturate and bleed

Out the seeds of a new address

We’re charged with the destruction of those static molds

We choose to build a union from the old

I feel my heart grow cold

To my surprise I fatalize

And fail to soil the merchandise

We’ve swept away all the faintest hooks

From the grasp of tomorrows fold

Outside your windows down your lonely broken streets

Cross the paths with the sterile minions of anachronistic beats

So cleanse my mind of discontent

Declare all the lines as heaven sent

Weeding out the sickness I can feel

Tell me all night how it can’t be real

Spend all night caring only for the words

Blame it on the new kids chewing on their nerves

Forget about the piss drunks putting out the fires

Sucking on the nacro sending out the wires

Some thing I won’t forget

Cry — it’s over

Die — it’s over

Flames reach out and lick my face

I’m falling some days are grace

Cry out steal signs

Burning they take it to the nines
