I don't want to be buried in a hole when I die
I wanna be carried in a jar with the ashes and lies
And when I break my stained glass media heart
I'll smile as I tear it apart
So don't panic, the pillar is here
Another in a line of heroes with nothing to fear
And a taste for the hardcore that comes with common sense
Oh my god, we're in trouble again
We're in trouble again
One last stand
I'm warning you right now
I'm feelin' like a Sunday, I'll never get away
No one knows
Who's afraid of a king in a castle?
Another dirty face on a hundred dollar bill
I'll take what I thought I could never impossibly get
I'm living like I'm losing a bet
So don't worry, the future is here
Another contemplation to ration for over the years
I'm crossing your lines, pushing my way, deliberate
Borrow your time, take me away, I'm into it
Did you borrow your time?
One last time
I'm warning you right now (warning you right now)
I'm feelin' like a Sunday, I'll never get away
No one knows
I'm warning you right now (warning you right now)
I'm feelin' like a Sunday, I'll never get away
No one knows me
Reciprocity
For all the ones to leave
Are you ready for the one last war?
I'm warning you right now (warning you right now)
I'm feelin' like a Sunday, I'll never get away
No one knows me
I'm warning you right now (warning you right now)
I'm feelin' like a Sunday, I'll never get away
No one knows my name
One last time

Talk Sick
It's better than depression, it's easier than bein' a fool
A similar conception, cyanide is only a tool
Opals, both sides, tell me if I get it right, battle of the branded
So much for the trickle down economy, cattle of the planet
I don't know what comes out of my mouth when you make me talk sick
I don't know if it's something I said or if it's something I did
I don't know what I'm talking about when you make me talk shit
No surprise, you can look in my eyes and you know you did
Oh, you made me talk sick
Returning me to sender, eliminate the social elite
You stick it in a blender and revolutionize to the beat
Diamonds show me, shinin' 'cause they know me, the moral is romantic
Stand there, don't move, I know it's always you
You only dance when you're frantic
I don't know what comes out of my mouth when you make me talk sick
I don't know if it's something I said or if it's something I did
I don't know what I'm talking about when you make me talk shit
No surprise, you can look in my eyes and you know you did
You talk shit to me
I don't know what comes out of my mouth when you make me talk sick
I don't know if it's something I said or if it's something I did
I don't know what I'm talking about when you make me talk shit
No surprise, you can look in my eyes and you know, know
(You know I'm upset)
You f*ckin' talk sick
You f*ckin' talk sick
You f*ckin' talk sick
You f*ckin' talk sick
A similar conception, cyanide is only a tool
Opals, both sides, tell me if I get it right, battle of the branded
So much for the trickle down economy, cattle of the planet
I don't know what comes out of my mouth when you make me talk sick
I don't know if it's something I said or if it's something I did
I don't know what I'm talking about when you make me talk shit
No surprise, you can look in my eyes and you know you did
Oh, you made me talk sick
Returning me to sender, eliminate the social elite
You stick it in a blender and revolutionize to the beat

You talk shit to me

I don't know if it's something I said or if it's something I did
I don't know what I'm talking about when you make me talk shit
No surprise, you can look in my eyes and you know, know

You f*ckin' talk sick
You f*ckin' talk sick
You f*ckin' talk sick
You f*ckin' talk sick

Breath Of Fresh Smoke
She was like a breath of fresh smoke
I wanted to inhale 'til I choked
Couldn't say a word, then she spoke
She said, "I'm leavin'"
She was out of bed going nowhere
Packed everything, save one cold stare
Didn't say a word, she didn't care
She said, "I could've had it all if I didn't have you"
She had a full tank of gas and half a mind to try
She said living your life in one place is the quickest way to die
She had eyes for the city and her sights on the world
And she could've had it all, if it wasn't for you
She said goodbye on a Sunday
It's always goodbye on a Sunday
She tossed back her head and went on her way
She left you
I know she's out there and crazy
And even though the details are hazy
You better know in life when there's nothing else to say
You could've had it all
No, you could've had it all
She had a full tank of gas and half a mind to try
She said wasting your time in one place is the quickest way to die
She had eyes for the city, got her sights on the world
And she could've had it all
No, she could've had it all
No, she could've had it all
If it wasn't for you
I wanted to inhale 'til I choked
Couldn't say a word, then she spoke
She said, "I'm leavin'"
She was out of bed going nowhere
Packed everything, save one cold stare
Didn't say a word, she didn't care
She said, "I could've had it all if I didn't have you"
She had a full tank of gas and half a mind to try
She said living your life in one place is the quickest way to die
She had eyes for the city and her sights on the world
And she could've had it all, if it wasn't for you
She said goodbye on a Sunday
It's always goodbye on a Sunday
She tossed back her head and went on her way
She left you
I know she's out there and crazy
And even though the details are hazy
You better know in life when there's nothing else to say
You could've had it all
No, you could've had it all
She had a full tank of gas and half a mind to try
She said wasting your time in one place is the quickest way to die
She had eyes for the city, got her sights on the world
And she could've had it all
No, she could've had it all
No, she could've had it all
If it wasn't for you

Beyond
It's only my heart that you're taking
But you're so alive, it's amazing
Before we begin, I wanna make it
Go on and on and on
It's only my hate that you're killing
'Cause you're so alive, it's thrilling
I wanna succumb, take me beyond
Come together 'cause I'm ready for you
Nothing matters, all I want is you
Just say you'll eat me alive
Just stay, I'm ready to die
Give me everything I never could have
Show you everything I know that I am
Just one more time tonight
I promise, in the morning, everything is alright
Write this down and mark my words
I would tear myself apart for you
Find me when the lights go down
And I'll show you what I see
It's only my heart that you're taking
But you're so alive, it's amazing
Before we begin, I wanna make it
Go on and on and on and on
It's only my hate that you're killing
'Cause you're so alive, it's thrilling
I wanna succumb, I wanna take you beyond
All I wanted was a dream come true
All I wanted was a woman like you
With a fire in your heart, smoke in your eyes
All I wanted was a place for you and I
Write it down and mark my words
I will tear myself apart for you
Find me when the lights go down
I'll show you what I-
I'll show you what I see
It's only my heart that you're taking
But you're so alive, it's amazing
Before we begin, I wanna make it
Go on and on and on and on

It's only my heart that you're taking
But you're so alive, it's amazing
Before we begin, I wanna make it
Go on and on and on and on
It's only my hate that you're killing
'Cause you're so alive
I wanna succumb, take me beyond
But you're so alive, it's amazing
Before we begin, I wanna make it

We Are The Rest
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
What's the matter with the matter of opinion
Burning at the stakes as one?
Cum and shit satisfying all the minions
Showing on yourself like what are you?
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
You built shit with the butt of cigarettes
With a one, two, one, two, three
We are the rest, the ones left over
We are the past but the past disowned us
We are the rats 'cause the bats get left behind
We are the rest and we remember
When everybody is a weak pretender
We are the rest when the rest of you are lies
Bury your sick shits, tie it to the tree
Like a dog, like a dog, like a motherf*cking dog
Do it on, twist it, lie to believe
I'm a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a motherf*cking dog
What's the difference, it's a difference of opinion
Even in a different you
Never mind and you've been doing me a favor
Tell me all about it then where do you go?
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
We are the rest, the ones left over
We are the past but the past disowned us
We are the rats 'cause the bats get left behind
We are the rest and we remember
When everybody is a weak pretender
We are the rest when the rest of you are lies
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win
What's the matter with the matter of opinion
Burning at the stakes as one?
Cum and shit satisfying all the minions
Showing on yourself like what are you?
No way to beat me, no way to win
No way to beat me, no way to win

Midnight
Drove away so ugly, I was way past being angry
Didn't help that I'd not driven in a while
Crazy ways of making people think they oughta matter
Doesn't anybody want to know the time?
And all I know
Is something out, is something old
Just ain't cool enough to be this cold
And all I know
It's everywhere, you come, you go
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here anymore
Kept me from admitting all the venom I was spitting
Couldn't tell if it was smoke or just the rain
Something else was missing, all the critics wouldn't listen
I don't need another problem, just the pain
And all I know
Is something out, is something old
Just ain't cool enough to be this cold
And all I know
It's everywhere, you come, you go
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here anymore
Oh, all I know
Is something out, is something old
Just ain't cool enough to be this cold
All I know
It's everywhere, you come you go
But I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here
Someone get me out of here
I don't want to be here anymore
Didn't help that I'd not driven in a while
Crazy ways of making people think they oughta matter
Doesn't anybody want to know the time?
And all I know
Is something out, is something old
Just ain't cool enough to be this cold
And all I know
It's everywhere, you come, you go
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here anymore
Kept me from admitting all the venom I was spitting
Couldn't tell if it was smoke or just the rain
Something else was missing, all the critics wouldn't listen
I don't need another problem, just the pain
And all I know
Is something out, is something old
Just ain't cool enough to be this cold
And all I know
It's everywhere, you come, you go
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here anymore
Oh, all I know
Is something out, is something old
Just ain't cool enough to be this cold
All I know
It's everywhere, you come you go
But I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here
Someone get me out of here
I don't want to be here anymore

Starmate
You were just a dream inside my head
I can't believe, can't believe that I wasn't dead
Already heading for the end of time, oh f*ck
Soon enough is never gonna be soon enough, I wanna come home
True enough, I couldn't tell you when I felt enough to let them know
I was singled out, pointed out, taken outside
Given up, holdin' up, lookin' for the upside
Oh, just a minute I can feel my heartbeat coming on again
(Whoa) I wasn't ready
(Whoa) I wasn't anything
(Whoa) and then you showed me
(Whoa) we could be anything
You were just a dream inside my head
I can't believe, can't believe that I wasn't dead
Already heading for the end of time
I found you, you are
We could be star-made
We were written in the very dust around us
Look at this, look at me, lookin' at you
Always and all ways is all I want from you
(Whoa) I wasn't ready
(Whoa) I wasn't anything
(Whoa) and then you showed me
(Whoa) we could be everything
You were just a dream inside my head
I can't believe, can't believe that I wasn't dead
Already heading for the end of time
I found you, you are mine
You were just a dream inside my head
I can't believe, can't believe that I wasn't dead

Sorry Me
This silence you've left me has me terrified
As simple as a complicated mind
I'm not what I used to be
But then again, I'd love to be
Cold hard floors, another warm soft hand
Screaming in my ears, the words I never said
I might get over it
But then again, here I sit
Sorry me, I do believe I've failed you
Time again to show you what I know
Suddenly I feel the need to save you
So stay right here until it's time to go
Things all stack up, waiting out my end
Seems the inner cancer's coming out again
I'll get to all of that eventually
But then again
I honestly forgot what I was going to say
I guess we all just think we're better off that way
We all deserve some time
But then again, so do I
Sorry me, I do believe I've failed you
Time again to show you what I know
Suddenly I feel the need to save you
So stay right here until it's time to go
As simple as a complicated mind
I'm not what I used to be
But then again, I'd love to be
Cold hard floors, another warm soft hand
Screaming in my ears, the words I never said
I might get over it
But then again, here I sit
Sorry me, I do believe I've failed you
Time again to show you what I know
Suddenly I feel the need to save you
So stay right here until it's time to go
Things all stack up, waiting out my end
Seems the inner cancer's coming out again
I'll get to all of that eventually

Punchline
Right on time, I see you're getting restless
Don't mean to criticize but what did you expect?
Sitting here in constant conversation
Just means you're desperate and you'll take what you can get
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go
But I won't go down that road again
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go
But I won't go down that road again
Spent my whole life waiting for the punchline
I hate to tell you but I never got the joke
Crash my car in transcendental sunshine
Don't need the oxygen, I know I'm going to choke
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go
But I won't go down that road again
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go
But I won't go down that road again
Don't let go
When you ask for the keys to your life
Don't be so surprised by what you might find
Don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go
But I won't go down that road again
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go
But I won't go down that road again
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't mean to criticize but what did you expect?
Sitting here in constant conversation
Just means you're desperate and you'll take what you can get
Oh, I don't know and I'll never let go

All I Want Is Hate
There's nothing you can say I want to hear
No song, no shit, no fear
Nothing in my space, get out of my face, I don't care
It's harder to be sick if you just suck
No if's and's what's or f*cks
Nothing you can say, get out of my way, I don't care
All I want is hate
Destroy and consecrate
All I want is hate
Hate is all I want
There's nothing you can do I want to do
No hope, no life, no proof
Nothing really matters, nothing is real, I don't care
Something is just nothing with a plan
It's a nothing I don't really understand
Why be a pawn when you just don't f*cking care?
All I want is hate
Destroy and consecrate
All I want is hate
Hate is all I want
All I want is hate
Destroy and consecrate
All I want is hate
Hate is all I want
Hate is all I want
Hate is all I want
Hate is all I want
No song, no shit, no fear
Nothing in my space, get out of my face, I don't care
It's harder to be sick if you just suck
No if's and's what's or f*cks
Nothing you can say, get out of my way, I don't care

Hate is all I want
There's nothing you can do I want to do
No hope, no life, no proof
Nothing really matters, nothing is real, I don't care
Something is just nothing with a plan
It's a nothing I don't really understand
Why be a pawn when you just don't f*cking care?
All I want is hate
Destroy and consecrate
All I want is hate
Hate is all I want
All I want is hate
Destroy and consecrate
All I want is hate
Hate is all I want
Hate is all I want
Hate is all I want
Hate is all I want

Dead Flies
Hidden in the dirt, you still remain
A killer cause for your célèbre
When you stare into hell
It's another chance for hell to see you
Now all the lies collide and sway
The little things in the bigger pain
Don't look, don't pray, don't tell
The evidence alone won't save you
Just sift through all the glass they gave you
You see yourself in all you hated
So what is left? What is hate?
One by one
No one's going to help this time
One by one
Silence keeps your stitches tied
Together on your own
Break your oaths to match your bones
One by one
Dead flies are the only things left around you
You dress a scene to set the tone
Ignoring anything out of ordinary
And then it hits you
The fingerprints of self-indulgence
Claw-marked by total fantasy
In a hole where your broken heart should be
Don't point a finger with a
Hand that played a part in murder
Don't pretend your nemesis won't push you further
One more time is all you need and then it's started
Now what is left? What is hope?
One by one
No one's going to help this time
One by one
Silence keeps your stitches tied
Together and gone
Break your oaths to match your bones
One by one
Dead flies are the only things left around you
This life is nothing but a life
A promise of the light
But living in the dark will kill you
Reborn, a victim of the fates
You know you can't escape
So tell me what awaits
But nothing, nothing
Too strong, the feeling to belong
The ending we deny
Is only when the eyes are open
Two strikes, it's easy when you see
The future hasn't changed
But nothing ever came to change me
Nothing can change me
Nothing can change me
Nothing can change me
(One by one)
(One by one)
One by one
No one's going to help this time
One by one
Silence keeps your stitches tied
Together
Break your oaths to match your bones
One by one
Dead flies are the only things left around you
Dead flies are the only things left around you
Dead flies are the only things left around you
Dead flies are the only things left around you
A killer cause for your célèbre
When you stare into hell
It's another chance for hell to see you
