Arc Arsenal lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

I must have read a thousand faces

I must have robbed them of their cause

sickened thirst, sickened thirst

keeps it together

soft white glow in the cranium

a bulls eye made sedated

beware! [x3]

I must have read a thousand faces

and all these voices won't give up

sickened thirst, sickened thirst

glues it together

a catatonic leisure at 1000 miles per hour

beware! [x3]

so who's in charge here

barking out loud so clear

because I'd really like to meet him

so who's in charge here

in the review of this mirror

because I'd really like to meet him

so who's in charge here

barking out loud so clear

because I'd really like to meet him

uproar east, strike west

have you ever tasted skin?

sink your, sink your teeth in it

have you ever tasted skin?

sink your teeth into...

have you ever?

beware! [x6]

Pattern Against User lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

the proposition

handcuffed to the park bence

hypodermic people poking

fun at the living

please lift the weight out of this

it takes the weight out of living

are we just infants

that are ripe for the training

the opposition

can't feel the tenticle reach

suction cup the numb arms

of the elderly

please lift the weight out of this

it takes the weight out of living

let these walkers trip on

endless proof

pattern against user- dilated

bastard waiting for nothing

circus carny guarding

the gates of heaven

like stuck in limbo abduction

wormed our way through

distant earth

this intuition

limps with the cane of suspicion

folding space in the crease

of this page

it takes the weight out of this

it takes the weight out of-

trickling the ticking of this

grandfather clock

the opposition

can't feel the tenticle reacg

suction cup the numb arms of

the elderly

[chorus]

and if this clock keeps ticking away

will time be hesitated

of all the minutes that were

taken away

will your watch be waiting

sand falls through

time portals

these landfills - immortal

and if this clock keeps

beating down

let the branded time

keep playing

of all the minutes that

were taken away

will your watch be waiting

One Armed Scissor lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

yes this is the campaign

slithered entrails

in the cargo bay

neutered is the vastness

hallow vacuum check the

oxygen tanks

they hibernate

but have they kissed the ground

pucker up and kiss the asphalt now

tease this amputation

splintered larynx

it has access now

send transmission from

the one armed scissor

cut away, cut away

banked on memory

mummified circuitry

skin graft machinery

sputnik sickles found in the seats

self-destruct sequence

this station is non-operational

species growing

bubbles in an IV loitering

unknown origin

is this the comfort of being afraid

solar eclipsed

black out the vultures

as they wait

dissect a trillion sighs away

will you get this letter

jagged pulp sliced in my veins

i write to remember

'cause i'm a million miles away

will you get this letter

jagged pulp sliced in my veins

i write to remember...

Sleepwalk Capsules lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

taser taser kindergarten nap nap time

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

highchair crumbles unannounced

like a draft from outside

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

beacon shined a light from the faulty tower

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

colossal in tons, unknowing it wants

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

atop this podium

built of fixation

(they like to choke)

all utensils fixed on you

cranes perched in scows, in the windows they would peek

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

snuck inside the sound of sleep

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

don't sweat the hemorrhaging gland

don't sweat the hemorrhaging gland

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

feast upon your illness and let the puppet strings sag

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

atop this podium

built of fixation

(they like to choke)

all utensils fixed on you

(they like it)

atop this podium

split in confession

(they like it)

dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

lazarus threw the party

lazarus threw the fight

lazarus threw the party

lazarus threw the fight

lazarus threw the party

(snuck inside the sound of sleep)

lazarus threw the fight

lazarus threw the party

(snuck inside the sound of sleep)

lazarus threw the fight

lazarus threw the party

lazarus threw the fight

lazarus threw the party

lazarus threw the fight

cloak a dagger plot her sovereign majesty

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

bullet ridden with vermin be it the peasant stark frenzy

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

held onto its tusks, naked and disrobed

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

and the emperor still wears no clothes

pacifier pacifies, yeah it pacifies

atop this podium

built of fixation

(they like to choke)

all utensils fixed on you

(they like it)

atop this podium

split in confession

(they like it)

dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

confess (confess)...confess (confess)

dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

confess (confess)...confess (confess)

dripping with drool from the nerves of this sentence

Invalid Litter Dept. lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

intravenously polite it was the walkie-talkies

that had knocked the pins down

as their shoes gripped the dirt floor

in the silhouette of dying

dancing on corpses' ashes

yeah, they had plans for him

they has spun the last of the pimps

polyester, satin nailed jewelry lips

while the guillotine just laughed again

dancing on the corpses' ashes

paramedics fell into the wound

like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant

an anesthetic penance beneath

the hail of contraband

they had been defected and excommunicated

and all the pulses were subverted

and they made sure the obituaries

showed pictures of smoke stacks

a vivid dissection that mocked

the strut of vivisection

semi-automatic colonies

and a silencing that still walks the streets

in the company of wolves

was a stretcher made of

cobblestone curfews

the federales performed

their custodial customs quite well

callous heels

numbed in travel

endless maps made

by their scalpels

on my way

nails broke and fell

into the

wishing well

Mannequin Republic lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

They'd call it a wasteland

Auslander plates

You know its armor was human

Drove stakes into the main camps

Eye sockets sank into

The back of its head again

This frequency was jet lagged

Yes the wrinkles mate

Was the owner's manual

Frequent flyers in denial

And all the while

Emergency is evident

Revenants were the statues

Radar learning of huddles masses

Sutured all the patience

Of this nursing home

Omitted from the pages

Of this burial ground

Sutured all the patience

Of this nursing home

Omitted from the pages

Of this burial ground

Labor concentrated

In this sheepless chapel

Labor concentrated

In this sheepless chapel

They call it a wasteland

They call it a wasteland, baby

They call it a wasteland

They call it a wasteland baby

They call it a, they call it a

They call it a, they call it a

Sutured all the patience

Of this nursing home

Omitted from the pages

Of this burial ground

Sutured all the patience

Of this nursing home

Omitted from the pages

Of this burial ground

Enfilade lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

this could last us all a lifetime

limbs intact, untouched

on the screen of a video tape

confined to bedposts

we wait as lepers

upheld at knife's reach

we covet all the status quo

this syringe will take a lifespan

it's filled with bait and tackle

try and catch us if you can

sacrifice on railroad tracks

freight train coming

unconscious tied and gagged

freight train coming

meet us at the corner

of fifth and pontiac

make sure that no one else

is with you

if you wish to see them alive

again

then humor me with this request

humor me with this request

in basements we will hide

amnesia in our alibis

they kept a close eye

on your get well incentive

Rolodex Propaganda lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

Pinch history feel the pinch blistering

Pinch me in my dreams cause i'm still not listening

X marks the spot on your calendar days

A beard half eaten smiled crawling with legs

Temper temper temperature

Manuscript replica

(Cu-cu-cu-cu-cut it)

In infrared is how we saw the night that lit up scarecrow plots

The nerve that pinches crippled hobbled frolicked flat on its own face

In infrared is how we saw the night that lit up scarecrow plots

The nerve that pinches crippled hobbled frolicked flat on its own face

Jigsaw pattern dominoes left a trail

The whites of their eyes polaroids of the tale

For our amusement we bring stares to the defendants

Mechanical panaceas absolved by history

Phonetic paralysis inflicted through morality

The seed that it nurtured was a wilted bouquet

Temper temper temperature

Manuscript replica

(cu-cu-cu-cu-cut it)

Squirming through cuts in a throat cut it... cut it...

Quarantined lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

autonomous machete for hands

warden and judge hide behind masks

wet raindrop lull

small rationing

exhumed the rhetoric of

break the weak in single file

sanction this outbreak- a virus conspires

push becomes shove, days become months

i seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun

feeding frenzy, it's contagious

have trigger, will travel

single sparks are spectral fires

shackled the grapple and the sentinels found

binoculars watch cardboard towns

strung up in webs the net was flung

over the auditorium

slave trade the weak, no call to arms

sanction this outbreak; a virus conspires

push becomes shove, days become months

and i seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun

a single spark can start a spectral fire

have trigger, will travel

Cosmonaut lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

we sample from the shelves

tore a page out of this chapter

deface the essays in the book that you're reading

we are the leaches that stop the bleeding

deficit attention program

by any means necessary

blare sirens to the library

whisper instructions to the book-wormed glossary

is it heavier than air - tell us, is the black box lying?

aeronautics hacked

the spine of paragraphs

prepare to indent, a coma that read-

floating in a soundproof costume

here comes the monolith

brass knuckles for the hissie fit

an abbreviation for the landing of fleets

incoming

position the stitches - like miles of torpedoes

permission was hinted

lungs that hollered in a sleeper hold

is it heavier than air - am i supposed to die alone?

Non-Zero Possibility lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

I'm just tired of counting bodies

is this mausoleum tardy

let's just paint you a pretty face

flies dip tongues into tear ducts

in toothpicks fought unborn

contusion is hungry

they still eat their young

proto-culture null and void

all veins in highway laps

this breath collapsed again

this hex was delivered spent

orchestra influenza

drawn and quartered pets

it dwells and grows

this is the pocket-sized edition

rapid sleep through benediction

let's just paint you a pretty face

museums mark their bodies down

all the tenants found

all the distance in their prefix

contusion is hungry

they still eat their young

proto-culture null and void

all veins in highway laps

this breath collapsed again

this hex was delivered spent

orchestra influenza

drawn and quartered pets

it dwells and grows

fever bliss into central nervousness

bitten on the entrance

I was bitten on the entrance

fever bliss into central nervousness

bitten on the entrance

I was bitten on the entrance

bitten on the entrance

I was bitten on the entrance

bitten on the entrance

bitten...

Extracurricular lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

Nuisance

An actor choking on nectar

Nothing gotten

Narcoleptics will cut off these patients blue arms

Peg legged

Sullen

Drool on these words I've never uttered

Yes I swear

Out stayed our welcome

A jab from behind

Spoke on these crutches

You wouldn't mind

I had the rack ignored in your last implants

Maiden winters

Tickling whispers

Sit still or you can't just listen

Extra extra extracurricular

Determine if the wick can burn

Acid

Cracked ribs

Timber

Class dismissed

Sutured

Swollen

Spiteful of these silent urns

Yes I swear

Legs cracked and head dressed

A jab from behind

A trolley over the sun

You wouldn't mind

Bull legged attrition on this satellite

Maiden winters

Tickling whispers

Sit still or you can't just listen

Extra extra extracurricular

Determine if the wick can burn

The weak are supposed to die [x4]

And you cant see this lighthouse

Cause there's no place to go

This siphon drinks the water

But it will never grow

Catacombs lyrics - At The Drive-in Lyrics

Lark throated spit through beaks tonight

These gagging chirps were written in disguise

What's that sound?

Caskets floating

Hey you, did you ever intend to sleep inside my tomb

And you would you ever attempt to kick from inside this womb

Hey you, would you ever attempt the excavation of these fossils

And in case you haven't noticed, we're already dead

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

Pendulum swing through tantrum slits

This scalpel's gaze untamed won't feel romantic

What's that sound?

Caskets floating

In laymen's terms sewn through matrimony

Hey you, did you ever intend to

Hey you, did you ever intend to

Hey you, did you ever intend to

Hey you...

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage

What's that sound coming?

What's that sound I hear coming?

This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
