Black Market Haircuts

I've found another soul
willing to take the risk
He promised me discretion
Concealed behind a mask
Under the cloak of darkness
His hands will lead the way
He'll never ask me why
I find such freedom in a blade
Black market haircuts
The first slice was the hardest
but then it fell away
my burdens all but melted
beneath his warm embrace
In just a flash of metal
The deed was good and done
My soul is liberated
My sins are overblown
Black market haircuts

Fire in the galley
This ship is going down
The captain's long since gone to bed
and we're all going to drown
Flames are spilling from the porthole
The deckhand's spewing blood
Everybody grab a life vest
and jump when I command
Fire in the galley
Time to make your way to safety
No time to swim ashore
The shark's are getting ever closer
and our arms are getting tired
No more vests
No more risks
Fire in the galley

I’ve been watching for sometime now
and something isn’t quite adding up
Oblivious to the cold hard facts
No recognition of how they react
The explanation can only be
She comes from somewhere where nothing reflects
Unaware of herself on show
by god it’s such a sight to behold
oblivious to the cold hard facts
she comes from somewhere where nothing reflects
but things will progress much smoother now
choose your steps as you part through the crowd
ignorance will free yourself
a license to be yourself

I don't listen
because I don't have to
Nothing can stop me
From saying what I feel
Jesus loves us
but not if they're like you
they came from above
and so it must be true
I don't like when
You question my motives
I have all the answers
I just say it how it is
Jesus loves us
but not you

Yeah
Tell me when
Yeah
What was said
Yeah
I won't tell
Yeah
You can't deny the answer
My lungs will burst
My throat is dry
Don't change my mind
Yeah
You can't deny the answer
Tell me when
Yeah
What was said
Yeah
I won't tell
My lungs will burst
My throat is dry
Won't lose my mind
You fold inside
You can't deny the answer.

You’ll never think twice
Plastic display
The stands are filling up
It’s someone’s lucky day
Send them out one by one
And now we’re getting somewhere
Their hands are in the air
Their hands are out for nothing
--
They mean it
You made it
--
Permanently present
But we answer to no-one
The hidden fantasy
Wheeled out for nothing more than
--
More Bodies, Less Buddies

Locked up and so sad
The skies are turning red
My conscience; so free
Nothing applies to me
Look for an obstacle course
It's what I need the most
Locked up and so sad
The skies are turning red
--
You're left alone for now
--
Lost Hope? Well, too bad
The tides are turning back
Lash out and you'll see
Nothing will come for free
We're living life in reverse
This heat just makes things worse
Locked up and so sad
The sky is burning red
--
You're left alone for now
--
One of these days you'll get this right

That crossed the line
More than just a white lie
There's no return
Across those bridges once burned
The outward show
Is set in motion once more
Fail to declare
The silent nomme de guerre
Run with the hare and hunt with the hounds
That crossed the line
He'd tell them that black was white
Cooked up a plot
Where even Judas would blush
False witnesses
To a crime that never was
Accomplices
Conspiracy by whispers
Run with the hair and hunt with the hounds

Robotic arms
will only get you so far
the key is in the joints
For graceful motion
and fluid operation
There's more than meets the eye
The dream of flight
the thrill of looking down
We'll get there in the end
They were made to soar
Defy all the odds
We're getting close
Despite the disbelievers
Their laughter spurs me on
One more event
Just one more calculation
They will not comprehend
I'm taking flight
and I'm not looking down
We got there in the end
They were made to soar
Defy all the odds
I know what they're worth
Let them leave this earth
