... How's everyone liking the new album???? no lyrics as expected... so we're now officially the most useful thread 
I figured some people might find this useful... i worked out some of these on my own, and took some from other threads... if anyone feels they've been robbed of their credit feel free to yell at me... i don't really care.
I absolutely welcome any criticism and corrections. I realize some of these are obviously wrong and even stupid. It's just a good start. Wee hoo.
Any remaining unclear lyrics are in square brackets [these].
If you still think something i've deemed clear is wrong don't hesitate to let me know... this is still a major work in progress...
Vicarious:
I own the TV, cause tragedy thrills me.
Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
Killed by the husband.
Drowned by the ocean.
Shot by his own son.
She used a poison in his tea, then kissed him goodbye.
That's my kind of story.
It's no fun 'til someone dies.
Don't look at me like I am a monster.
Frown out your one face, but with the other...
Stare like a junkie into the TV.
Stare like a zombie, while the mother holds her child.
Watches him die. Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
You all need it too, don't lie.
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing.
Neither the brave nor bold will write us the stories told,
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing.
I need to watch things die... from a good safe distance.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
You all feel the same, so why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down.
Drum on grave and ground.
Part vampire.
Part warrior.
Carnivore and voyeur.
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie
Credulous at best your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your [?], give a listen...
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile, so impersonal.
Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been.
We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
Much better you than I...
Jambi:
Here from the kings mountain view.
Here from the wild dream come true.
Feast like a sultan, I do.
On treasures and flesh never few.
But I...
I would...
Wish it, all away.
If I...
Thought I'd...
Lose you, just one day.
The devil and his had me down.
In love with the dark side I'd found.
Dabblin' all the way down.
Up to my neck soon to drown.
But you changed that all for me.
Lifted me up turned me round.
So I...
I... I... I...
I would...
I would...
I would wish this all away.
Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn.
Begged like a hooker all night long.
Tempted the devil with my song.
And got what I wanted all along.
But I...
I would...
If I could...
I would.
Wish it away...
Wish it away...
Wish it all away...
Want to wish it all away.
No price you could hold sway,
Or justify my,
Giving away, my center.
So if I could I'd wish it all away.
If I thought tomorrow, would take you away.
You're my peace of mind, my own, my saturn.
Just try to hold on one more day.
[Dim/Damn] my eyes,
[Dim/Damn] my eyes,
[Dim/Damn] my eyes, if they should compromise,
Our fulcrum, what you need,
Divides me then I might as well be gone.
Shine on forever.
Shine on benevolent son.
Shine down upon the broken.
Shine until the two become one.
Shine on forever.
Shine on benevolent son.
Shine down upon the sever.
Shine until the two become one.
Divided I'm withering away.
Divided I'm withering away.
Shine down upon the many.
Light our way benevolent son.
Breathe in union,
Breathe in union,
Breathe in union,
Breathe in union,
Breathe in union,
So, as one, survive.
Another day and season.
Silence legion, save your poison.
Silence legion, stay out of my way.
Wings For Marie (Part 1):
You... You...
You believed.
You believed in moments none could see.
You believed in me.
A passionate spirit,
Uncompromised.
Boundless and open.
A light in your eyes that,
Ends all lies.
Vacant, broken,
Fell at the hands of those moments that I wouldn’t see.
Cause it was you who prayed for me too.
What have I done to be a son to an angel?
What have I done to be worthy?
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this selfish question, but...
What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight?
She never told a lie,
Well, might've told a lie.
But never lived one.
Didn’t have a life.
Didn’t have a life.
But surely saved one.
So I'm alright...
Now it’s time for us to let you go.
10,000 Days (Wings Part 2):
Listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun.
How we rise to the height of our halo.
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,
Our way into the arms of the savior.
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations,
None of us have actually been there.
Not like you.
Ignorant flippants in the congregation.
Gather around spewing sympathy.
Spare me...
None of them can even hold a candle up to you,
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't seek.
But enough about the collective Judas'
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated.
You'll have a piece of the divine.
This little light of mine,
The gift you passed onto me.
I'll let it shine,
To guide you safely on your way.
Your way home.
What are they going to do when the lights go down?
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they going to do when the rivers overrun?
Other than tremble incessantly.
High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground.
You were the light, and the way, that they will only read about.
I only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home.
You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
Shake your fist at the gates saying:
I have come home now.
Fetch me the spirit.
The son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now, my time now.
Give me my, give me my, wings.
Give me my,
Give me my,
Give me my,
Give me my,
Give me my,
Give me my wings.
You are the light, a way.
That they will only read about.
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.
Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers.
You were my witness.
My eyes, my evidence.
Judith Marie, unconditional one.
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion...
Should you see your maker's face tonight.
Look him in the eye
Look him in the eye, and tell him.
I never lived a lie, never took a life.
But surely saved one, hallelujah.
It's time for you to bring me home.
The Pot:
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out your head.
Eye-hole deep in muddy waters,
You practically raised the dead.
Rob the grave to snow the cradle,
Then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox house of cards and glass,
So don’t go tossing your stones around.
You must've been high.
You must've been high.
You must've been…
Foot in mouth and head up ass, so whatcha talking ‘bout?
Difficult to dance round this one, till you pull it out, boy.
You must've been so high.
You must've been so high.
Steal, borrow, reaper save your shady inference.
Kangaroo done, hung the juror with the innocent.
Now you're weeping shades of chosen indigo,
Got lemon juice up in your...
eye.
When you pissed all over my black kettle, you must've been high, high.
You must have been high, high.
Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters, fucking hypocrite.
Liar, lawyer, mirror show me, what’s the difference?
Kangaroo done, hung the guilty with the innocent.
Now you're weeping shades of chosen indigo,
Got lemon juice up in your...
High, eye.
When you pissed all over my black kettle, you must have been…
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your mighty fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind.
Weeping shades of indigo,
Shed without a reason,
Weeping shades of indigo…
Liar, lawyer, mirror, for ya, what’s the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned he's guilty, ask the government.
Now you're weeping shades of chosen indigo,
Got lemon juice up in your...
Eye. Eye.
When you pissed all over my black kettle,
You must've been high, high, high, high.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters. Eyeballs deep in muddy waters.
Ganja police.
You must have been out your mind.

Lost Keys:
Nurse: Excuse me, Doctor? if you have a moment?
Doctor: A moment, what's the question?
Nurse: More of a situation. A gentlemen in exam three.
Doctor: What's the problem?
Nurse: That is the problem, we're not sure.
Doctor: Do you have the chart?
Nurse: Right here.
Doctor: Not much there is there.
Nurse: No Doctor, no obvious physical trauma, vitals are stable.
Doctor: A name?
Nurse: No sir.
Doctor: Did someone drop him off? Maybe we can speak to them, lets get some background on this fellow.
Nurse: No ID, nothing. And he won't speak anyone.
Doctor: Well then, let's say hello.
Doctor: Good morning, i'm Doctor Lawson. How are you today?
Doctor: How are you today?
Doctor: Look son, you're in a safe place. We want to help you in whatever way we can.
Doctor: But you need to talk to us. We can't help you otherwise.
Doctor: What's happened? tell me everything.
Rosetta Stoned:
Alrighty then,
Picture this if you will:
[10:00 to 2:00AM, and actually eating up an entire box of krispy kremes and my need-to-know potion, I was just outside area 51, contemplating the whole chosen people thing, when a flaming stealth banana split the sky wide open. I never expected to see it in a place like this. I do believe I spilled a diamond sundae or something wet on my birkenstocks or something, holy fucking shit.]
Holy fucking shit.
Holy fucking shit.
Holy fucking shit.
Holy fucking shit.
[Then the x-files being who was in some kind of blue-green jetship with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked and he went abananadabanana so when I opened up my bug eyes, my gaping jaw and my sweaty lower and upper lip, and all I could think was, I hope that my partner here doesn't notice that I pissed my fucking pants.]
So alive in his way, like an apparition he had me crying out:
Fuck me.
It's gotta be.
Deadhead.
Chemistry.
The blotter got right on top of me.
It's got me seeing E motherfucking T.
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some [needle/fetal] spooning the ET revealed to me his singular purpose he said:
"You are the chosen one. The one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who should choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not."
Me, the chosen one.
They chose me, and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school.
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.
Then he looked right through me.
With somniferous almond eyes.
Don't even know what that means.
Must remember to write it down.
This is so real.
Like the time they floated away.
See, my heart is burning.
Cause this shit never happens to me.
I can't breathe right now.
It was so real,
Like I woke up in wonderland.
It was a bit terrifying.
I don't want to be all alone,
When I tell the story.
And can anyone tell me why?
It was a repeat experience?
Will I ever be coming down.
This is so real.
Finally it's my lucky day.
See, my heart is racing.
This shit never happens to me.
I can't breathe right now.
You believe me don't you?
Please believe what I just said.
See they're telling [?],
And this wasn't all in my head.
See they took me by the hand.
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something.
I don't even know where to begin.
Strapped down on my bed.
Feet cold and eyes red.
I'm out my head.
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said.
God damn, I shit the bed.
High... High... High... high...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be, the one.
Born to bear and write you all the details of our ending.
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen.
Shit the bed again... typical.
Strapped down on my bed.
Feet cold and eyes red.
I'm out of my head.
Am my alive? Am my dead?
Sunkist and sudafed.
Gyroscopes and infrared.
Won't help the braindead.
Can't remember what they said.
God damn, I shit the bed.
I can't remember what they said, to me.
Can’t remember what they said to make me out to be a hero.
I can't remember what they said.
God help me.
I can’t remember what they said.
Don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know.....
God damn, I shit the bed
Intension:
(These lyrics are played backwards: Work hard, Stay in school, Listen to your father, your father is right. Work hard, Stay in school, Listen to your father, your father is right.)
Pure as we begin.
Pure as we come in.
Pure as we begin.
Ruled by will alone.
Pure as we begin.
Here we have a stone.
Gather, place, erase so,
Shelter turns to home.
Pure as we begin.
Here we have a stone.
Throw to stay the stranger.
Swore to crush his bones.
Ruled by will alone.
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Light the way or warm this.
Home we occupy.
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Forge a blade to slay the stranger.
Take whatever we desire.
Moved by will alone.
Pure as we begin.
Pure as we begin
Move by will alone.
Leave as we come in.
Pure as light.
Return to one.
Move by will alone.
Move by will alone.
Right In Two:
Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they’re all confused.
Don’t these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Where there’s one, you're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.
Monkey, killing monkey, killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They make a club.
And beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would,
Squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven,
Conscious of his fleeting time here.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Fight, over the clouds, over the earth, over sky.
Fight, over life, over blood, over air and light.
Over love, over sun, over another.
Fight, all the time. Over what? Over Lies and...
Angels on the sideline again.
Been so long with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again.
Wondering when this tug of war will end.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
Right in two.
Right in two.
Viginti Tres:
Viginti Tres.
Hope this makes someone smile, great album by the way.
"Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be, the one.
Born to bear and write you all, the lyrics to this album!
To write them down for all the world to see!
But I forgot my pen...." -Funny PM i got... thanks dude
