america forever
my bones are set into this face
no way to betray it
no way to abandon this thing i've made
america forever
america forever
i wait for judgement like a good kid
the sunrise is coming
when we see the night for what it really is
america forever
america forever
entwined and rotting beneath our feet
the roots of a riot
that rages and rests in peace
america forever

(wild life)
i will accept the past
i will not try to go back
i am not ready to die
god i'm not ready to die
some people have found a way out
but i have only found a way down
oh god i don't want to die
drag me out of this wild life
drag me out of this wild life

not mend

your backyard on my birthday
making sense of a child's grave
i never want to hear birds again
my spirit broke and it will not mend
there is no one left to trust
making sense of a mother's love
i never want to hear birds again
my spirit broke and it will not mend

how do i give in with grace?
i let my mind race until it made me crazy
dirty silver fingernails
digging down, turning up nothing
and there beneath everything
the flies i draw are too full to eat me
my mother is in a half way house
spiders eat their prey
from the inside out
how do i give in with grace?
i let my mind race until it made me crazy
kiss me in the liquor store
you can dry me out
before the storm

judas in america

judas hung himself in america
vultures called to god to set him free
there's never been a church here in america
judas hung himself from a tree
judas took his paycheck to america
but there's no place to buy peace of mind
there's never been a church here in america
judas turned his wounds away from light
judas just flunked out of america
where does our shame go while we sleep?
there'll never be a church here in america
jesus died for judas
you, and me

im taking precious time
the serpent speaks all night
seven stars aligned
cherry, cherry high
angel wings burst out my spine
my tears will turn to wine
a blaze surrounds the shrine
cherry, cherry high
a cop car parked in the drive
let me be your wife
chewing on the rind
cherry, cherry high
a tongue that no one will speak
my inhibitions getting weak
the shattered mirror shines
cherry, cherry high
purple guts torn from a bird
have you read the word
of revelation 9
cherry cherry high
your forehead bears the sign
abaddon twists your life
the poison comes alive
cherry cherry high

farrah abraham

fingers pressed against the veins in my wrist
habits shake down a falling star, that makes a wish
"if i could end the world, i would end the world"
my blood speaks to my brain, something's amiss
take me high, on your wings of listlessness
"if i could end the world, i would end the world"
farrah sings to see dead dreams come alive
in another life, maybe i'd have been your child
"if i could end the world, i would end the world"

you could move a mountain
but where would it go?
into your bloodstream
or somewhere below?
you could move a mountain
but where would it go?
to the center of the earth
or somewhere below?
you could move a mountain
but where would it go?
into a moonlit basement
or somewhere below?
you could move a mountain
but where would it go?
into the heart of jesus
or somewhere below?
you could move a mountain
but you got to be sure
can you move a mountain
without getting hurt?
the answer is no
