I don’t mean to be negative When you die you’re really dead No conscious thoughts in your head Didn’t mean to bring anybody down When you die they won’t be around No golden trumpets or pretty sounds No golden trumpets or pretty sounds No pipes are piping in the clouds No golden trumpets or pretty sounds Didn’t mean to make you cry When you die won’t live on in the sky No golden trumpets or pretty sounds No pipes are piping in the clouds Deaths the definition of indefinite I’m not sure, but when you die, I’m betting you’re just dead So live in the moment as much as you can Take your eyes out from behind the lens Don’t waste your time looking at pictures Right after taking them

Cave-In 03:59
Glazed over Forget It’s all too serious Close my eyes At ice cream Vacantly lick As it melts onto my hand Once thought never me Now I don't think anymore ‘Cause If I think anymore My heart will stop and my head will explode Cave in Stalac Cave in Collapse Wash my hands Throw a blanket on the beach Bleach my brain and any thoughts that I think Thankfully it’s so easy I’m turning the spider Cave in At last Cave in Collapse Cave in Collapse Cave in At last I can wash my hands

Last day of work Hang up my shirt Unlace my boots Got the no badge blues I represented everything Pain that the uniform brings It’s not just a badge I put on More than an occupation Human machine Minimum payment Wanting Excepting Seeking enslavement Keeping myself from the purest form of enjoyment Seeking employment Last day of work Button up my shirt Pull on my boots Got the seasonal Ranger blues

Batholith 03:40
There's so much that could be said Let's not lose our heads just yet

Cave Kisses 04:27
Too many cave kisses Carbonic acid Wearing a hole in your head Wearing a hole in my brain Tearing holes in everything Too much people to touch Too many folks can’t fit through Fat Man's Misery In Marble Hall where stalactites fall Every photo steals a soul I’ve made my own emotional connection Thought this place was suppose to be protected Next thing you know Ursa Minor will be selected Next thing you know Hurricane Crawl will be illuminated Wearing a hole in your skull Cave if you wanna be free Collapse the entrance on me Cave I have heard you speak Now collapse and go to sleep She deserves some rest Collapse the entrance On me and all 50 ‘Cause I hold the 51 key Wearing a hole in your skull Wearing holes in my vocal cords Wearing holes in your brain Tearing holes in everything Wearing a hole in my soul Tearing holes in my vocal cords Wearing a hole through my brain Tearing holes in everything

Sit under the Ring around the moon Moon illusions are too few Some man asked me Do women go crazy under the full moon? I said truly, we’re all a little loony I feel the pull don’t you? He laughed at that, I laughed at the fact Someone would be so rude Sit under The hunters moon The hunters moon wanes too soon

Only Two 03:17
Peeling the bandage back To see the wound Darkest dark is black And there's only two There’s only two Choices There’s only two Choices to choose Well hell I can’t tell Am I in helictite heaven or hell? My flashlights dead Wish I brought three Guess there's no choice in eternity Peeling the bandage back To see the wound They wrote on the marquee Said there's only two There's only two Choices There's only two Choices for you to choose from

Still confused but I know by now The spider gate won’t keep them out One minute I’m in helictite heaven The next helictite hell High hopes now I know All depends on what they’ll allow One minute I’m in it the next I’m out Helictite Hell no, I won’t show you Well I know I don’t have too But if I don’t someone else surely will Helictite heaven sure can feel just like helictite hell There’s no gates of golden Pay to make the spider web open Now I know How a photo Steals a soul Can you really live a moment if you won't let it pass? Had to take a photograph To show where you’ve been Were you really there or looking at a screen?
