I parked out in the rain Trapped inside this mire I always feel the shame If I didn’t, I’m the liar I sit alone, afraid Can’t stay below the wire Countless time I prayed Just to put out the fire I thought I’d always have your smile I thought I had nothing to worry about You unpacked to stay awhile I thought I had nothing to worry about To fight against his own hands To get up and take a stand To protect what he has at any cost To think it through before he’s lost (repeat) It takes a real man I need to take the pain We all say we’ll change I would be fine like a child My thought won’t rage All the time I said before I was mistaken for sane I tried to cut out the rest Just stand up and refrain I said I’d keep you safe if you stayed I thought I had nothing to worry about I broke my word so you strayed I thought I had nothing to worry about I always fall outside the wire I leave the love in pain I’m sick, weak and tired This will be my last rain……

Someone said they saw you downtown And you cut of all you blue hair Some people do things they don’t like to do And you do it and you don’t seem to care Some people do things they don’t like to do And you do it and you don’t seem to care Our souls burn in the lemon sky The killing is done in the afternoon Heaven is something we all have to learn Heaven is something that I have to burn In these ravenous times Everyone lies Sunk in the bullshit Up to my eyes Like a thousand times, never tried suicide Like a thousand times I’m found dead Like a thousand times I’m found dead

We watched your death today Right before the rain came in We watched from every room Brightened the lights, they were dim All the stars are out to night The boulevard is full of shame All their eyes are the moonlight They will burn out in their fame Time just hides old wounds They tend to work their way up The burden of pain is a relief It makes me appreciate your love We watched your life today Right before the sun came in For hours we sat in your room Dry those tears, it’s time to begin

Dirty spearmint gum package sitting at the bar Visible reminder of the girl who walked away Dark green bottle dispenses me kindness Wipes clean the memories, at least for today Limping into tomorrow I pull back the curtain Only to find the puppet master dead Small consolation for fools and for felons Who never even knew they were played But it's spring, and the world is fuckalicious Every movement brings doubt and shame Breath is painful bones are broken Time moves forward, the way we never do

As I drop in my pennies, my sustenance jar might explode into honey, if I go too far I'll jump right on in, I'll swim in your moat? As I drown I feel good maybe now I will float I dig down, into my sustenance jar I can't believe that I've fallen this far Down, into my sustenance jar How in the hell have I've fallen so far? As I drop in my pennies, my sustenance jar might explode into honey if I go too far As I crawl down into my self-centered hole I sink into you and make my new home As I drop in my pennies, my sustenance jar might explode into honey if I go too far

Sequestered 02:18
Alone, in total silence, I hear the clock strike 5:09 Exhausted, simply sleepless, another chorus in my mind Tick tick tick tock tick tock I feel my body breaking I've got an insomniac's high I think my brain's sick, I'm yours for the taking Why do I even try? Sequestered Destest it Obsessive Excessive Still, total silence, I hear the clock strike 6:14 I age at 90 miles a second, but I don't even know where I've been Tick tick tick tock tick tock I feel my mind has left me What else can I do? I need one last trick, a pill or two will do me Then I'm down like you

Hate is my favorite sound Turning cars upside down Killing like a dog in the street Rubber hoses at my feet At the card game he died with a gun at my side He's been talking of burning christ Bleeding hearts is what he likes We need a stronger dead bolt I got to make all the calls Before we start to fall Gunman for the day Reign on my parade With a rifle down town Lets take out the clown A killer and what he stalks A vat of acid until he talks Not a word about my machine It haunts all my dreams Love, like a hole in the head Money and life is what he said They call him a hero Until you find him near you Found in the dumpster dead Twisted and full of lead Gunman for the day Reign on my parade With a rifle downtown Lets take out the clown Go and leave your wife in the car So you don’t have to pay for the meter Yesterday, I found a baby girl Went to work, forgot to feed her Forgot to feed her 4x Gouge my eyes out Her thighs start bleeding Your peace of mind A thorn in my side Crust in my throat Says I can’t try Bones on the hook The blood is scenic Dig my tracks The sky is blue The sky is blue 4x Dig the needle Your mothers crying Saturation Masturbation Solar station Playstation Manipulation…etc…etc. You’re the one I don’t want I love you…

Father's Day 02:41
Father, why did you leave me? When I needed you so much Father, how could you leave me? I needed you so much You put a gun to your head and said I can't take anymore I never knew you as a happy man Your heart was broken your wallet empty You were so young you never wanted me I saw your pain, it was plain to see Father... You put a gun to your head and said I can't take anymore You only smiled when you were by yourself Your body broken your mind uneasy If you had seen the truth you gave it up You could have stayed you may have made it up Father... I put a gun to your head and said I can't take anymore

Ever 02:37

We break the hands in need We tried and lost the case Breaking me, breaking knees You don’t have to say, you understand The guilt is written on your face You say we don’t need a plan The guilt is on your face They dropped the bomb Now we’re X’ed They dropped the bomb Your dress is on too tight They dropped the bomb Now we’re next They dropped the bomb Turn around, turn around No thoughts more tired and true. Freedom is bleeding fame Burning greed, burning me You don’t have to say, you understand The pain is written on your face It’s now we need a plan The pain is on your face

about

Sterile Jets Long Beach, California

Long Beach California's Sterile Jets are intent on confronting the tortured dynamic of modern America with unflinching honesty and an exceptional mash up of rhythm, noise and melody. They draw on elements that include post rock, stoner punk, art punk and old school heavy metal and add a dollop of lyrical inspiration from Beat writers like William S. Burroughs and LA's own Charles Bukowski. ... more
