'Pentagram Ring' EP lyrics... 'Pentagram Ring' EP


The Nerve

past the point where it gets (?)
think (I) don't mind
I get (?) without you
I have not been (fuller)
(without) injuries (?)
(without) injuries (?)
now is not the time to name the place
(lost the ?), (but not the taste)
you're not gone
now you're not gone
now you're not gone
still, the (bombs) embrace
still, the (bombs) embrace
still, the (bombs) embrace


You Faded

(?...)
you got dissed (on up) and always (?) space here
(browned) out, let it slip (?) to (ride) (?...)
the dust (between) it crossed my eyes
killing makes (?) (things all ?)
(killing) by the feel of knowing (?...)
(browned) out, on it slips (?...)
(?...) waiting for (?...)
you faded
you faded
you faded
like I teach you to burst
like I teach you to burst
(?)

(?...)
(?...) always on
when I'm tied, you broke my hands
(?...)
(when) I get the final call and they call out by name I might be hanging for a while
you faded
you faded
you faded
like I teach you to burst
like I teach you to burst
(?)
(?)
when you (?) the moment, (?...)


Hack the Sides Away

right now's the problem 'cause I'm shooting blanks again
something comes to twist me and I'm getting weak again
still I'm disappointed
I'm choking on the past
this is just a (wash-out), a waiting to (?)
can('t) I just pretend?
can('t) I just pretend?
I'll hack the sides away
I went ahead and hacked the sides away
and I respect your age
coughing it up for the man
coughing it up for the man
coughing it up for the man
coughing it up for the man

my time is shining and I'm clogging up again
attempts to be impressive left me (clogging) up again
can('t) I just pretend?
can('t) I just pretend?
I'll chop the sides away
I went ahead and chopped the sides away
this is how (you ?)
coughing it up to the man
coughing it up to the man
coughing it up for the man
coughing it up for the man
coughing it up for the man

I can't sustain it
I feel like dancing
this town is changing


Repeat the Ending

left alone with shadows
this is when he smiles
just when I got started, he repeats the ending
suckered in his breath
while he holds me down, it occurs to me to pray and I'm always ending
yeah, I'm always ending
what did I do?
what did I do?
what did I do?
what did I do?
parent-sized boy

punished me with all his jokes, and I've got no smokes to spare
and I've got no room to breathe
and I've got no patience
tapping on my chest to see if I get scared (?...)
when and if I let him tap again, I will always be here
(?) all blasted open
what did I do?
what did I do?
what did I do?
what did I do?
parent-sized boy
I'm all blasted open

I got hope for all the (messes) who are cold and blasted open
I got torn and (I'll believe it)
I'll repeat the ending
left alone with shadows
this is when he smiles
just when I got started, he repeats the ending
I'll repeat the ending

School House Rocks! Rock



Little Twelvetoes

now, if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd also have 12 toes, or so the theory goes...
well, with 12 digits, I mean fingers, he probably would've invented 2 more digits when he invented his number system
then, if he'd saved the zero for the end, he could count and multiply by 12's just as easily as you and I do by 10's

now, if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd probably count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, dek, el, do
dek and el being two entirely new signs meaning 10 and 11 - single digits
and his 12, do, would've been written: one - zero
get it?
that'd be swell, to multiply by 12

hey, Little Twelvetoes, I hope you're well
must be some far flung planet where you dwell
if we were together you could be my cousin
out here we call 'em "a dozen"
hey, Little Twelvetoes
please come back home...

now, if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, his children would have 'em, too
and when they played hide-and-seek, they'd count by sixes, fast
and when they studied piano, they'd do their 6-fingered exercises
and when they went to school, they'd learn the Golden Rule and how to multiply by 12's easily:
just put down the zero
but me, I have to learn it the hard way
let me see...

1 x 12 is 12, 2 x 12 is 24, 3 x 12 is 36, 4 x 12 is 48, 5 x 12 is 60, 6 x 12 is 72, 7 x 12 is 84, 8 x 12 is 96, 9 x 12 is 108, 10 x 12 is 120, 11 x 12 is 132, and 12 x 12 is 144

hey, Little Twelvetoes, I hope you're thrivin'
some of us 10-toed folks are still survivin'
if you help me with my 12's, I'll help you with your 10's
and we can all be friends, Little Twelvetoes
please come back home


What's Up Matador


Theme From "For Russ"

once I wondered how you made up your past
once I wondered how you made up your past
what you don't want to know's coming down fast

it's not good to make so many mistakes
it's not good to make so many mistakes
and what you don't need to know's coming down fast

count all the times you caught yourself in the zone
like the times you laughed alone strapped in your seat
and you heard the dry sound when the sound stopped you cold
when you sat still and heard the noises outside drown all the (?)

oh, I'm ready for the new one to come
what you don't want to know's coming down fast
