Sometimes the strength in me builds up, But fails me when you cry, I’m not a heartless bastard, But you’ve driven me to dispossession. I wanted things this way, That thought was never left unsaid. But hey Pinocchio, How your nose will grow, When you scream at the back of my head. Goodbye good guy, Wipe the cobwebs from my eyes, This time I’m doing it just for me. Goodnight sleep tight, I hope all the bed bugs bite, I’m sick of cleaning up your debris. You know I wanted this, And I created this, Well I made my bed I’ll lie in it. I put my heart on hold, Hoping that you’d hang up. I’m in suspended animation, Waiting on a give-up. I wanted things this way, That thought was never left unsaid. But hey Pinocchio, How your nose will grow, When you scream at the back of my head. Goodbye good guy, Wipe the cobwebs from my eyes, This time I’m doing it just for me. Goodnight sleep tight, I hope all the bed bugs bite, I’m sick of cleaning up your debris. You know I wanted this, And I created this, Well I made my bed I’ll lie in it. I wanted things this way, That thought was never left unsaid. But hey Pinocchio, How your nose will grow, When you scream at the back of my head. Goodbye good guy, Wipe the cobwebs from my eyes, This time I’m doing it just for me. Goodnight sleep tight, I hope all the bed bugs bite, I’m sick of cleaning up your debris.

I've been waiting so long for you to call, but now you're finally here and I'm a wreck. Worked out a little, even did my hair, but I'm not the man I used to be back there. I hope you have an ugly boyfriend, I hope you're working at a carwash, I hope your life went down the drain and everything is not okay, I hope your best years passed you up. I dodged a bullet, One or two since then, You're not the only one who still calls me up. I'm still the jerkoff who listens to your problems, I never told you all the times, I'd wished you died in a car crash. I hope you have an ugly boyfriend, I hope you're working at a carwash, I hope your life went down the drain and everything is not okay, I hope your best years passed you up. I'm eating out my heart. I’m eating out my heart. And I’m not happy for you, That you’re a better person without me. I’m so glad you decided to apologize, When I’m too numb to care, I’m just too numb to care. I hope you have an ugly boyfriend, I hope you're working at a carwash, I hope your life went down the drain and everything is not okay, I hope your best years passed you up.

Neanderthal 04:11
Virtual murder, pixelated death, we can kill each other, with no regrets. Like raping a hooker, Or popping a cop, Or pushing a handi, Right out of his wheelchair. Your thoughts become reality, Focusing on a tragedy, And now I’m fucking my PC. I am Neanderthal. I am Incredible. I am Neanderthal. Berserker. This liquor store’s a mammoth, This gat’s a bone. There’s too much information, In this age of Stone. Your thoughts become reality, A self-fulfilling prophecy, And now I’m fucking my PC. I am Neanderthal. I am Incredible. I am Neanderthal. Berserker. Your thoughts become reality, Focusing on a tragedy, And now I’m fucking my PC. I am Neanderthal. I am Incredible. I am Neanderthal. Berserker. Berserker. Berserker.

Prettier than a lullaby, My favorite turn a phrase, A single syllable can be, As nasty as a death ray. The only reason you’re alive, Is because she’s not in one of her moods, The only reason you’re still warm, Is because you’re being pursued. In a word, She can hurt you, With a word, She can make you cry. In a word, Obliterate you, With a word, She can make you die. Power word, kill. Your ego bleeds like a stuck pig, As you soak up the rejection. Yeah, it sucks you’re out of luck in, Using your erection. Poked through like a voodoo doll, Ripped a hair right out from your head, You failed your only saving throw, And now you’re gonna be dead… In a word, She can hurt you, With a word, She can make you cry. In a word, Obliterate you, With a word, She can make you die. Power word, kill. Prettier than a lullaby, My favorite turn a phrase, A single syllable can be, As deadly as a blade. In a word, With a word, In a word, With a word, Power word, kill. In a word, She can hurt you, With a word, She can make you cry. In a word, Obliterate you, With a word, She can make you die. Power word, kill. Power word, kill. Power word, kill.

Mr. Foff 03:42
Another night, 12 other shitty bands, Nothing to do, just sitting on our hands. Then somebody new came into town, He got us drunk, yeah, he turned the beat around. And I’d like to know what happened to you Mr. Foff, Did you leave the band? Do you still drink in the van? And I’m happy to say I met you that day, Mr Foff, Will we ever meet again? Illustrated man, the ink on his skin tells the tale. Teen runaway, he’s done some time in jail. Even though the show was pretty lame, He earned our respect, but we never knew his real name. And I’d like to know what happened to you Mr. Foff, Did you leave the band? Do you still drink in the van? And I’m happy to say I met you that day, Mr Foff, Will we ever meet again? And I’d like to know what happened to you Mr. Foff, Did you leave the band? Do you still drink in the van? And I’m happy to say I met you that day, Mr Foff, Will we ever meet again? (What happened to you, Mr. Foff?) I’d like to know what happened to you, Mr. Foff. I’m so glad we met that day, Mr. Foff. With that long black hair and that badass leather jacket, You’re my man, You’re my man, You’re my man with Jack in the van, Mr. Foff.

She wraps black wings around me, I’m paralyzed just like a dream. Sacrifice in a place I thought was safe, A warning I would never heed. I spent my life looking for the savior, But he looked the other way. She holds me tight, Wrapped in the living night, A kiss from Morgan le Fay. Quiet storms surround me, I close my eyes and she appears. Freedom from all the lies that I believed, From my schizophrenic fears. I spent my life looking for the savior, But he looked the other way. She holds me tight, Wrapped in the living night, A kiss from Morgan le Fay. Hail to the Queen of the Hurricane, I shot my conscience full of novocaine, I lost my pleasure when I lost my pain, And no one’s innocent when no one’s to blame. Have you ever howled at the Full Moon? Or watched the Earth from the sky? Have you felt the ecstasy of murder, Or a power over life? A power over life. I spent my life looking for the savior, But he looked the other way. She holds me tight, Wrapped in the living night, A kiss from Morgan le Fay. Hail to the Queen of the Hurricane, I shot my conscience full of novocaine, I lost my pleasure when I lost my pain, And no one’s innocent when no one’s to blame. Blame. Blame. Morgan le Fay.

Ephemeral 03:30
This is the drama that surrounds us, This is the path we’ve chosen, for better or for worse, This is the way of righteous anger, This is the path of vengeance, Blessed and coerced. I don’t want some big production, To accompany this self-destruction. I refuse to be the boy who cried wolf. These are the moments that flow through us, separate but happening all at once. This is the timeline that we're bound to, ephemeral, ephemeral, not plentiful enough. I don’t want some downward spiral, Or an echo chamber of denial. This is the drama that surrounds us, These are the moments that flow through us. This is the drama that surrounds us, These are the moments that flow through us. This is the drama that surrounds us. This is the drama that surrounds us. I don’t want some big production, To accompany this self-destruction. This is the drama that surrounds us, Ephemeral, ephemeral. These are the moments that flow through us, Ephemeral, ephemeral. This is the drama that surrounds us, Ephemeral, ephemeral. These are the moments that flow through us, Ephemeral, ephemeral.

To the dearly departed, and all the human sacrifice, and to all the broken hearted, who never got to roll the dice. For tonight we ride, with ghosts at our side, of all the ones whom fate was so unkind. All the promises unkept, and the tears we never wept, this one goes out to the left behind. For all the broken arrows, who never hit the mark, We'll see you on the flambeaus, as we sing dirges in the dark. For tonight we ride, with ghosts at our side, of all the ones whom fate was so unkind. All the promises unkept, and the tears we never wept, this one goes out to the left behind. For tonight we ride, with ghosts at our side, of all the ones whom fate was so unkind. All the promises unkept, and the tears we never wept, this one goes out to the left behind. For tonight we ride, with ghosts at our side, of all the ones whom fate was so unkind. All the promises unkept, and the tears we never wept, this one goes out to the left behind.

about

Our fourth album and one that's stylistically a little more all over the place then the records that came before it. We often run the gamut to heavy metal and the lighter side of alternative, but this one has a few softer songs (at least sonically if not thematically) and the fastest song we've recorded ("Goodbye Good Guy") as well as the most bone-crushing ("Neanderthal") and most Black Sabbath like tune we've done yet ("Morgan Le Fay")

We did this one all at Smart Studios in Madison and recorded it over the third week of November in 2006, we mixed it shortly before Christmas that same year.
