Not To Go This Far

Standing on the street corner naked
I slacked my jaw and pulled my crank
I never wanted more, but I needed a release
I’ve been hung by this
Slime grows in my pit
I sunk into the ocean waters
I pulled a muscle, turned it way too hard
He vanished then appeared piercing my heart
I slid away and screamed enslaved
I took what drugs I had to persuade me
I was taken on high to a force crashing down
He laughed, watching me through all of this
His cunning eye struck me down
I pulled my crank, I ripped a tendon
I bent a rod and split wide open
I needed more, something to keep me in control
The man was holding...would not let me go
I screamed a pale scream and vanished
He crawled with me and would not die
I stink of piss as I take my vein
This is what keeps me alive
I took a brown powder...let go a spell
I overthrew him...I brought him down
He had lost all guidance and cried
I told a lie not to go this far

When We've Gone Blind

Can you squeeze time into a void of nothing?
Can you feel high when the vein has stopped running?
Do you feel alive when you hide from your life?
Trust me, I know what you are
Was there a time when you felt it was all right?
Didn't you think there would be a
last time?
Well, wouldn’t you know, I think it was all well worth it
Now you can cry for your life
I don’t want to try, I’ve never had much time
And when we’ve gone blind the beast feasts on our minds
There should be more, something to give endless sight
I have to fight for my life
We’ve lost control, nothing is ours anymore
And I’m not myself
Is this what you were waiting for?
I can’t think, it’s no help, this was such a waste
I don’t know me anymore
Now I fall down, weak from the strain of thought
Don’t fucking touch me, I can hate and it won’t fire
Now don’t you see there was nothing to believe
Now in the end when I fight to find myself
You take what’s mine, I own nothing anymore
There becomes a dark turn
Inside I crumble and burn
I’ve always fought for this moment

It’s been a long time since I’ve been inside the place where we met and I’ll never forget how you cried on me but I was free and I'll never give in to this game you won’t win and you called back for me but I wouldn’t come you couldn’t leave this alone and you have nowhere to go so I'm not joining you now I've fought my way Don’t waste your time leave it behind you now
Stop feelings within with the prick of a pin no way out
You must leave it behind we’ve run out of time
Was it something I said to make you feel this way?
You don’t have to leave or be afraid this day
It feels what I’ve felt
You can’t compare old feelings to new
One day soon you’ll know my name
So on you I’ll lay the blame
For all emotion that you feel
The life you led seems so unreal
And when it all comes crashing down
Remember I’ll always be around

Brawl

Here they come, walking away from me. I'm down in disbelief. They push me around! I'm awake now. They won’t get me anymore. I’ve pushed down through the floor, and I’ll come running down!
Get out of my face! I’ve got one last chance and, I’m gonna’ make it work.
I’m down...run away from all my fears. They’re on my heels again, and I won’t let them see my tears. I’m crying for the last time! I’m dying, but I’m gonna’ take them with me, ‘cause they can’t win. This, they don’t see.
They don’t believe what they don’t see! And when I cried...was for the death of sympathy. So, I’m not afraid. I’ve run in the shadows...lived by my grave for quite
some time.
And now I see my death. This I can face...when it arrives I won’t be scared. And I know you fucker, and you’ll go with me. ‘Cause when I get
the chance I’m gonna’ stick the knife into your gut. You’ll cry for mercy, but I won’t give a fuck.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been inside the place where we met and I’ll never forget how you cried on me but I was free and I'll never give in to this game you won’t win and you called back for me but I wouldn’t come you couldn’t leave this alone and you have nowhere to go so I'm not joining you now I've fought my way out
Don’t waste your time leave it behind you now
Stop feelings within with the prick of a pin no way out
You must leave it behind we’ve run out of time now
What did you think that this was bliss in a state where you couldn’t see the facts in front of your eyes I'm not telling you lies I won’t be joining you now
Go ahead and cry ‘cause you lied to me then I was free you forgot the promise you made to me so now I've gone out to die
How could you be so blind would you let me try to hurt you and bring you down now I'm running free I've got nothing to say that’s why I'm not around you never asked for this but I hated your pain and I promise you you’ll never see me again now I'm running free that’s how I've grown to find that I hate you
Stop crying for me I'm gone for good this time
I hated that life and I will never return
Stop crying for me I'm now running free

Done With It

Was it something I said to make you feel this way?
You don’t have to leave or be afraid this day
It feels what I’ve felt
You can’t compare old feelings to new
Is it something I’ve done to make you not want to stay?
You don’t have to leave or walk away from me
Brace yourself you’re going down
Feel the burn outside yourself
A flame inside burns that hole through
When everything comes down on you
There ain’t a way to make it all work
Here it comes again just like every other day
It doesn’t have to always be this way
It sees all I see
Won’t even know when the pain rings through
Why does it always have to be this way?
Won’t you calm down and make it better?
I’m afraid
Are you ready for this?
It’ll knock you down
The flesh of your knees breaks on the ground
Blood on the outside
Shame to pain
with their backs turned you can’t hear
This isn’t worth it anymore, just die
One day soon you’ll know my name
So on you I’ll lay the blame
For all emotion that you feel
The life you led seems so unreal
And when it all comes crashing down
Remember I’ll always be around

Don't Forget This

What have I done?
I gave it all to you
Now I have nothing but feelings of loss
I can’t cry
I don’t want to hurt you, but I feel
the anger deep inside
It eats at my soul
I wanted you to be mine
Don’t you ever think of me when you want to cry
You don’t even feel the loss
You tore me up inside
And now that you’re not mine I feel a hole dug in my heart
And I want to cry
What can I do?
Will you ever love me?
This thought heavily weighs on my mind
My heart is scarred
My blood now flows thin
And all I want is a taste of your flesh
Now in a time when we cry and mourn
You walk away and leave me to cry
My own tears will bring my death
And I’m tore up inside
I want to be nothing, except a part of you

Seasons At Risk

Inside the way...the tunnel you go
I need broken hands, but I don’t need you
Creator flaws his piece...ashes remain
Peel out older ones and crush the new
It came from the sky...dark as the land
Wandering days gone by...I’ve done all I can
Seasons at risk...coming straight from man
They change to gray...destroy the new earth
Under flesh...rush inside a vein
Today the sky will fall
Watch for your life
Sun will meet Earth
Reality’s end
They crawl on their knees begging for an end
In this pact you must stay true
Free the soul of sickness unending
Let purity flow into the tribal setting
Seasons are changing to nuclear scenes
We fade out and die, but there is strength in death
Then I am pure...I just want to be free
Blotted down
Fade out
Leaving misery behind...letting go
You won’t catch me...faded out...faded
I’ve gone away...far from here
Trading creation to be numb
I’ve penetrated into the end
I never imagined it would be like this

Sweet Kelly Detroit, Michigan
Real Detroit said they didn’t have to dress for Halloween they were already rock stars. Jam Rag said their first vinyl
release sounded like a transmission from outer space; a cross between Pink Floyd and The Stooges.
“In the Eyes Of” was called psych rock done like no other, a band with their own sound. In today’s day and age that’s quite a statement, but not an exaggeration.
