The Spool 01:54
I place My hands Over Your mouth So tightly Until The breath’s No more Bring ropes Bring chains Together They’re placed Around The spool From neck To thigh Slow dragging You down The river’s Awake It’s calling You home So go My friend So go, my friend…

Glass Mouth 03:58
I know why you’ve come And I know where you’ve been I know what you want I know how to begin Glass mouth Glass mouth Shattered fangs reveal The secrets you’ve kept close Here I stand confirmed Father, son, holy ghost I know why you’ve come And I know where you’ve been I know what you want I know how to begin Glass mouth Glass mouth One thousands wrongs, one thousand rights What does family mean to you? What does family mean to you? They made my bed and they set it a blaze They tucked those sheets so tight, so tight I had one choice Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn -Roberts

And If 03:39
And if its hard to steer Than you should just go home my dear And if the devils near Don’t speak my name And if the shadows fall From places that you can’t recall If heads crowd now from wall to wall Don’t think my name Don’t breath Don’t bleed And if the roots extend From trees with fruit they will not lend If carved bark scars refuse to mend Don’t cross my name And if the waters rise With tears you thought you’d never cry If lye soaked limbs begin to rise Don’t wish my name Don’t breath Don’t bleed If dreams and memories get confused Oh, well that is just how it should be And if you feel you’re being used Oh, well than I guess that’s fine by me And if these words reveal A gaping wound time won’t let heal If masks hang from the ones you feel Don’t fake my name And if in sleep you dream Of pasts rehashed that could still be If delusions set you after me Don’t trace my name If dreams and memories get confused Oh, well that is just how it should be And if you feel you’re being used Oh, well than I guess that’s fine by me And if I slit your neck For treading paths that I begat Don’t breath, don’t bleed, don’t beg regret You know my name…

I went to your room Collected your bones Pulled up the floor Gave them a home There is no time To think that time is on our side Keep your nose to the grind Keep one foot in the fire And I’ll sleep ‘Till the morn Brings me peace I will sleep ‘Till the morn Grants me peace I went to my room Pulled up the floor Crawled down inside Replaced the boards There is no time To think that time is on our side Keep your nose to the grind Keep one foot in the fire And I’ll sleep Till the morn Brings me peace I will sleep Till the morn Grants me peace We don’t weep No, we don’t weep We don’t weep No, we don’t weep

E.Y.E.S. 08:01
Once a lover came upon me While ‘tween the wolf and dog That lover swore she’d done no wrong I could see deceit was written Across her teeth and tongue Took my thread, sewed that liars lips up I made my plans clear to be Gone before the morn I laced my boots up ‘fore the dawn Drove for days or weeks, can’t say which Until the fork, I found All at once the noises grew so loud I can hear their foot steps walkin’ I can hear their heartbeats stalkin’ I can hear them talkin’ with their eyes Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! There a sinner waited for me And she took me home That sinner took me in alone She said, pigs get fed my darling And hogs, the blade they meet The tricks to know the perfect time to eat Smoke spun while we lay dormant A blackened tree, it grew ‘Tween swirling leaves her gaze shown through Empty bottles rang with each move Our Shangri-La ahead We leaned in close and than she said I can hear their foot steps walkin’ I can hear their heartbeats stalkin’ I can hear them talkin’ with their eyes Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! It’ll all be over For too long Find your love It’ll all be over For too long Try your love It’ll all be over For too long Tide your love It’ll all be over For too long Hide your love Whiskey, women, and gin Are bad for my knees But they’re so damn good For my soul They come one and all Into our cities In the hopes that we Will make them whole

Toiler 02:18
The toilers in my head And won’t let me decypher how I feel The toilers in my bed And won’t let me distinguish what is real Cause he makes And he breaks And he takes your fucking life away The toiler held my hand Over my mouth so I would keep it shut The toiler licked my neck Until it bled and told me I’m a slut Cause she makes And she breaks And she takes your fucking life away Cause they make And they break And they take your fucking life away
7.
Blood Praise 04:30
Give blood praise (We live, we love, we lie) Want no slave (This life, we live, is not life) Trust the veil (This time, I know, it’s done) Bride so pale (Hands tied, blood drawn, blindfold) (I) I knocked down the mountains (Lied) I watched the cities all fall I was waiting for You (I) I dried up the oceans (Lied) One thousand fish left to crawl I was waiting for… Blessed for spawn No lust drawn Framed in time Mine all mine (I) (Lied)

Car Sick 03:02
Car sick on Christmas night In your bed, puke to the right La dada, la da da Soft touch and you start to laugh Brisk tea splattered everywhere La dada, la da da You and me We are different than it seems You and me We are different than it seems Big move, but we got some help From Wild Oak and Danzig himself La dada, la da da Two feet and the snow still fell On you, me, and the beast from hell La dada, la da da You and me We are different than it seems You and me We are different than it seems This year my wish to be Sick again on Christmas eve But I’m alone, so I can’t sleep I gotta a Grinch but I got no tree It’s gettin’ cold, hope the frost will spread Cross the river and crawl in your bed Wrap its arms ‘round you and Shred Freeze these words deep inside your head You and me We we’re different than it seemed You and me We we’re different than it seemed

Oh lord the cool air It feels like romance Here the nights last Forever A rising tide will Lift all boats on its quilt And waves won’t stop till The moon drops Gotta get Gotta go Gotta make these things work just right Gotta see Gotta smell Gotta touch that hiding sunrise Gotta be Gotta be Gotta be What’s been declared On the lamb Book in hand Wanna burn away in plain sight Find a way Be a stray It’s ok, gotta little life Gotta fray Gotta fray Gotta fray Here’s to farewell Here’s to goodbye Here’s to those that Give up the lie Fill the tank and border break Work fast make no mistake How long till the other side? Fill the tank and border break Everything is now at stake I’ll show you yours, if you show me mine We are All cut From the Same cloth We are Art thieves Diamond Smugglers Daddy won’t let you Make your moves Daddy won’t let you Sing the blues Daddy says darling You best choose Daddy’s in the graveyard Win or lose Time to make it worth your while Time to make it fit your style Time to let those suckers know One more chance for the fucker blows

about

Disco Machine Gun Wilmington, Delaware

The idea of Disco Machine Gun began in late 2006 with a few riffs. The moniker was created during a drunken one man dance at a party in May 2008. The actual band began work a couple days later. Since then members have come and gone and many a song has been written. Disco Machine Gun will never end. ... more
