Like a dried worm in the sun The madman loads his gun In the middle of the deep freeze We have lost all our dreams Hope and salvation for the corpse Have derived from the source Religion is a question to me Pungent cause of disease I have known this quite for a while Heaven has gone out of style Go... To the bars! Got myself in trouble again With the help of black ink pen Torture is built into us all Nailed to a chalk-lined wall Is the power the pain that I see Is power what makes us free? Blinds shut out the naked eye Apathy will make us try I guess it's shooting time again I guess it's shooting time again

Well beaten in stormy weather Sky cracks to the bursting dawn Holy healer, the hands of pleasure Subconscious chaos on the sad punk’s lawn A burning halo Has gone astray Red light receiver Turned on to pray Blood/oil virtue It’s time to pay I’m gone today I’m on today Rubber boots stepped in the dogma Lying tramps of bulletproof gods Beautiful souls shine serious gamma Brittle stained class break the odds Heartbeats… Settle down… We know love… Is here to stay… Pulse circuits damaged cash flow Suffocate singers of heartless songs Polar panicked the curious grow Wide open as the transistor's long

Time lapsed, I mutter What am I thinking? Time for another, My hands are empty Pain is beginning No life when I’m sober On to more sinning Now I am grinning Sun is setting on a broken daydream Shots are lined up, I'm just blowing off steam Wake up this morning and my mind is soaring “Shut up bitch” because the world is boring Lay down my money in a divey juke-joint Yet to find a clue to “what is the point?” On to 15 Now I’m bending I’m still not ready For this to be over Three sheets to the wind Now I am ready Strap the machine on Now I’m steady Barlights dimming at 2 in the morning I failed to mind the Surgeon General's warning Mind is addled with life's fucking worries But they're fading or they're getting blurry Drown it out with liquid mind eraser Follow whiskey with a vodka chaser Grasp and claw No stairway to heaven I’ll kick god in the balls They day I die I could feel alive If I can clear my eyes Stumble to realize The bottle is empty

The human situation is an uncomfortable equation punctuated by joy and despair  Maybe I don't need a lover why don't we just use each other? in essence life is based on those we allow around us how we react to each other feed off each other do you listen? do i listen? My psychotic inspiration, a murderous muse, Uninterrupted, unwilling to move Trashes everything she owns She'll try to fry h(y)er mind we can make our lives and those of others better or we can make 'em worse, it's a choice you don't listen. i don't listen. A metal screen divides illusion from reality Woven tight to ensure it holds Black, Red, Blue, the same hue Just given a different name irrigated fields won't yield a single green dollar i can(t) be content while you live in misery i won't listen. why do you listen?

that's right! i know! just so you do..... know. you're lying no I'm sitting it's all relative I see you smiling But I don't know Why you would You're not that privileged  I see you screaming But I don't know Why you would You're not that literal you're wrong i know! just so you do..... know. you're furtive no I'm daring it's all relative I see you laughing But I don't know Why you would You're not that cynical I see you crying But I don't know Why you would You're not that pitiful I think I'm an asshole, but how do I know for sure?

Disturbance Shatters the night Pictures tatters This matters Expression Fades in the dark Memories linger Hinting hunger You're a dog in the way Pissing on my dreams You're a dog in the way Howling at my screams Contrition Circles the wall Actionless angles Hopeless jungles Damage Scars are a sign Warping bodies Bodies mind You're a dog in the way Gnawing at my soul You're a dog in the way A carcass in the road

You can’t pull the plug on me I’ll make your head hurt And it’s the sound of your voice That makes it even worse My pride is my vice I’m still on the burn It’s your roll, but my choice You should take what I learned. Reciprocate the mainline Who’s fool are you anyway? It’s not a crime to kill some time But you gave yours away When you hear my name Do scream in vain? Do you dare to cross my path Go against my grain? This tragedy you play Makes you go insane Your lie reflects your fate I will never be tame… Reciprocate on the mainline Who’s fool are you anyway? It’s not a crime to kill some time But you gave yours away

Thoughts of you come into my mind What has become of this? Freed? My meekness is an endeavor. With your pain Can you carry me around? Whisper in my ear Your breathy sound In terms of enjoyment Shots disperse the crowd To wish fulfillment We turn our guitars loud

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
