Life exists to infuriate, berate, and subjugate
The hapless mortals shit-birthed on a human-altered planet Earth

Would move me forward
O hapless life!
Now I pledge to you

Down these old darkened roads
Panic stricken, hapless mother
Fearful for her pregnancy

Time: 0:44
Turn to vulture parasites who prey on lost souls
Suck the life from hapless fools who give them control
No, no deliverance

Time: 2:35
Vile tragedy
With great vehemence the hapless died
Kill, suicide

Time: 2:52
Meanwhile back at the brackish
Half-man, patch-in, splash with the hapless
Tag every hack in the badlands

Time: 1:18
Now I got this weight up off my shoulders like a strapless
Remember this shit was hapless
Remember the day it happened

Time: 1:09
Who's the lovelorn colors of
Somewhat hapless in his touch
He's the undiscovered night, a parting line

Time: 0:44
We never spoke of it again
Two more hapless citizens of
The new post-traumatic stress worldwide disorder

Time: 2:05
Evil stalks the lives of men, they can't be saved
Hapless victims falling hard to meet their grave
Terror reigns, insanity lives in human fear

Time: 1:22
I've been here a thousand nights
Hapless thing
Half alive

Time: 1:12
With elves as his helpers
Hopeless hapless masses are dopes, they suppose
It's the same old rigamarole that we know

Time: 1:06
The partridge asks for
The hapless one takes
The troubled one steals

Time: 1:26
They caught us in that awful glare
Our hapless throats were strung
But just before the final stroke

Time: 1:20
Did you get things done in your reeling?
Or did your hapless heart lay sunken like a stone?
Are you happy now?

Time: 4:53
Every black'ning church appalls
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace walls

Time: 2:20
Dream little child, dream until you can't
Caped crusaders and hapless chance
Don't get caught squandering the good times

Time: 2:07
Any injustice they have suffered is erased
By the blood of hapless victims they have shed
Led by those intent on hatred war and sin

Time: 1:06
You are the tension maker
I'm your hapless clay
Will I pull myself up again

Time: 1:06
(Isn't so, not ain't so)
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-poet

Time: 0:20
Knowing you were laundry-folding just outside the bedroom door, I slept near it
Knowing you would carry half the hapless buzzing of my dilated spirit
I know you never dreamed I'd become a damn Yankee

Time: 3:34
real seether
to sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
rendezvousing at the broken places

Time: 0:40
Every blackening church appalls
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace walls

Time: 0:07
Crave your fat face
On the floor with the hapless dancers
Soon

Time: 0:32
Can't contain the nervousness that creeps into the loins of us. Our fate concieved of block by block and word for word we walk the talk, hapless, every single one of us, we favour this in the ways that we waver.
Lollipop, Lollipop

Time: 1:46
But what's come over me?
Would I falter hapless in your fleur-de-lis
Or spare expense beneath?
