Ire Works

The Dillinger Escape Plan Ire Works Lyrics
1.Horse Hunter

Stumbling over dead forgotten
Catch you and the secret falls away, falls away
You were drunken from delusion
Slipped and so the secret fell away, fell away

I see you, tears in your eyes
Yeah, this party is a bore and you're the joke
Me and you, we are the light
Sit with me, give me your hand
Sit with you, give me your hand

You should go your way
You are no friend of mine
Life still lives on lives
Red sea inside these walls

Commerce is your God
Cannibalistic flies
Monarch of your womb
Messiah of your thighs

How sacred is the web
That must be spun
Your taste is on the tip
Of every tongue

Down, let's lay down
Take me all the way
All the way down, let's lay down
Take me all the way

All the way down, shout out loud
Make us proud for days
All the way down, let's lay down
Take me all the way

All the way down, give to fire
Beyond the soul desire
Down, give to fire
Beyond the soul desire

Down, give to fire
Beyond the soul desire
Down, give to fire
Beyond the soul desire


2.Fix Your Face

You want a fiction you can't have
Alive but you can't walk
Writhing around on the floor
You won't be the world's tomb

It's too late because you
You never look around
You're like a deer in the headlights, baby
Queen of delusion
You will never learn compassion

Start a fire, when you can never put it out
You're burning up in the flames you started
I want to see you face down
Because I know that you play that part so well

Oh, don't wait, the casket is open ready for the funeral
But we are still moving on ready to celebrate
There will be no comeback
No coming back for any one of us now

Don't you realize there is nowhere you can hide
Where I'm from, there is never a rest for the hunted
No way you and I will ever be done
We're never apart

Whatever you're doing
We will always cross your mind
Yeah, you were young
And now you'll pay the price for her

Price for her, price for her
Price for her, price for her
Price for her, price for her
Price for her


3.Nong Eye Gong

Now, you laugh forever, you laugh
The winner and the best man
Yeah, corrupter, shape shifter
Your voice is the sound of nothing
Butcher of every art form, peddler of deceit

Watching the hour hand drag
Destroyer of the past

We're smart enough
To say we're sorry
Not smart enough to start again
Dancing in death's illusion

The pride before the fall
The pride before the fall
Candy for the children
Give it to them all


4.Black Bubblegum

Got so much salt from your lies poured into me
You didn't see yourself dead already
So full of it with every breath that you breathe

But you forget that in your fairy tale I'm the wolf
All this attention got you thinking that you're a queen
You think that everything you're doing isn't a dream
Long as it feels alright

I had gotten frozen by the way you walked
By the love that you gave, by that look on your face
It's a cover up, I know everything

I had gotten frozen by the way you walked
By the love that you gave, by that look on your face
It's a cover up, I know everything, I know everything

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
It's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted to feel
It's what you're dying to feel

Checkout your face on the wall, like what you see?
I'm sure you see yourself, oh, so unique
You're just a sucker for the flame of the week

But you forget that in your fairy tale, bitch I'm the wolf
All this attention got you thinking you were a queen
Nothing is what you think

I had gotten frozen by the way you walked
By the love that you gave, by that look on your face
It's a cover up, I know everything

I had gotten frozen by the way you walked
By the love that you gave, by that look on your face
It's a cover up, I know everything, I know everything, I know
everything

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
It's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted to feel
It's what you're dying to feel

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
It's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted to feel
It's what you're dying to feel

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
It's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
It's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted to feel
It's what you're dying to feel

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
It's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted to feel
It's what you're dying to feel


5.82588

Fallen angel, how you've changed
Poison runs through your veins
You were never a saint but now you're a sin
Spoiled and rotten from within

Who clipped your wings so useless?
Cut your child then yourself?
Chewed off your own?
Good thinking

You were coming apart
And I thought I could help you
Through the fever

Not the first one
Not the last one
I'm not sorry for you
Find out if your transsexual

I remember a time
When everything that you knew
I thought I already knew in my mind
And I thought you knew the same

And I thought you knew the same
And I thought you knew the same
Well I thought you knew the same

I know truth will set you free
I know truth will set you free
Cracked and crazy, baby
I know truth will set you free


6.Milk Lizard

My thick tongue hangs down low to the ground
Licking up the sweat coming off of her heels
She wants my teeth to wear
She wants my hell to bear

Well, missy, it's a lock for load
If you wanna grind hips don't do it alone
Don't save no dance, no, not for me
Just cut me out

You crept up like a disease
Looking like a girl who trying to be saved
Your heart was trying to bleed
And you're taking the right road if you're talking to me

Well, you thought you'd tear my skin from bone
Just cause it was cold and you needed a coat
Don't tease me just start digging the hole, start digging

Oh, you're getting so sleepy tonight
And you wanna go home but you don't have a ride
No time just taste won't touch for free
My salt your sweet

You crept up like a disease
Looking like a girl who trying to be saved
Your heart was trying to bleed
And you're taking the right road if you're talking to me

And you were there
And I was every question
That never had an answer
I see right through you

We never even noticed that
There always was a reason
That we were never meant to be left alone

My thick tongue hangs down low to the ground
Licking up the sweat coming off of her heels
She wants my teeth to wear
She wants my hell to bear

Well, missy, it's a lock for load
If you wanna grind hips don't do it alone
Don't save no dance, no, not for me
Just cut me out

And you were there
And I was every question
That never had an answer
I see right through you

We never even noticed that
There always was a reason
That we were never meant to be left alone

This feels like never ending
This feels like never ending
This feels like never ending
This feels like never ending

This feels like never ending
This feels like never ending
This feels like never ending
This feels like never ending


7.Party Smasher

You are only the faded star of my design
Junked out, lost potential and crazy
From your questions answered

Walk forth, you're the fulfillment of a fallacy
A creature from a fantasy
Don't think that you ever knew me
Don't you ever see

We are forever entwined
Stuck in a play we can't get out of
Don't you ever see, won't you ever see
You and I will never be able to end this

We are forever entwined
Stuck in a play we can't leave
You say someday we can start up again
Without a plan no sign of the pressure

I say you're crazy
I hope you see my face in the mirror
You will never learn, you're forever dead to me
Won't you ever see your shadow?


8.Lurch

I don't know your name but I know you
Do you lust for fame or forgiveness?
Well I'll give you everything you want
Well I'll give you everything you need

You won't be perfect
So best to freeze you in this state
Go on home
You shouldn't be walking around on this day

Now, you've stuffed your throat
You've walked on your burial ground
Oh, you'll draw the crowd
With honey porcelain skin and crystal baby blues

Your picture in my pocket
I'm obsessed with you
Oh, sweety there's no sense in crying
You're above them all

Barricade the door
You can hold my hand for comfort when you fall
You wear your skin so fresh
Your smell intoxicates, little starlet


9.Dead As History

I, I made a big mistake
With you tonight
The way our insides burned
Like moths flying to light

As the sun begins to set
I cannot find my way back
I'm walking with my eyes on fire
I never found the payback

We'll never feel
Like anything is wrong
The tragedy is
Not just our own sad song

I, I know the games we play
Give us a way
A way for us to see
If we still feel alive

As the sun begins to set
I cannot find my way back
I'm walking with my eyes on fire
I never found the payback

We'll never feel
Like anything is wrong
The tragedy is
Not just our own sad song

Walls we have built
And bridges we have burned
Deeper the hole
The farther we feel from harm

Time is always right behind us
Like the lamb under the gun
I'll hold on to this forever
That is never long enough

Time is always right behind us
Like the lamb under the gun
I'll hold on to this forever
That is never long enough


10.Sick On Sunday

I could never have
Standing here with you
One regret, one mistake
Nothing we could do

After this is done
You can go your way
Don't forget
This is how everything should be

Don't you ever go
(Don't you ever go)
Don't you ever go
(Don't you ever go)


11.Mouth Of Ghosts

Our trust runs out tonight
Everything we said dissolves
And now, we say our last goodbye
Nothing to resolve

I never imagined you'd turn into this
But then the end was always close
We could feel it all along

Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?

Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?

Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?

Don't you know where hide all the lies?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?

Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know where?
Don't you know?

You were a mouth without a heart
An action without meaning
And you walk afraid and you walk afraid
Reaching for the hands that turned closed
Reaching for the hands that turned closed

You were a mouth without a heart
An action without meaning
And you walk afraid and you walk afraid
Reaching for the hands that turned closed
Reaching for the hands that turned closed

14.The Perfect Design (Live)

Motions that make gods cringe running in circles
as fast as we can
take what you can 'cause now it's all over
run hot
and cold to break the skin
break the skin

and we won't take no for
an answer
for just when the door slams
the pill drops
oh my sweet unknowing partner the perfect design

the pill drops
so start the silent dance slumping silhouette
unforgiving hands harboring regret
play it just once more for old times

yeah....
you know
you know
you know you're all I ever wanted

yeah....
you know
you know
you know you're all I ever want

how we laughed when we first saw each other...
how you screamed when I saw your eyes melting...
this is the end of every rainbow
and now your face shatters
every waking second

and now your face shatters
every waking second

and now your face shatters
every waking second
