I feel it crawling Up my feet Straight to my neck The sound of war Is calling all of you to rest Don’t let it catch ya Pull your heart out of your chest You got to fight it Hide your heirlooms Hide your flesh You won’t ever see me When the sun is out All I ever do Is pace around my house I know I never really clarified But you don’t need to worry I’ll do that myself Leave me in the silence Put me on the shelf Leave me on the shelf Stuck inside the finished image Aesthetically compound Poster child Scribbling pictures, wishes, words He loves the crown Film releasing coating On his teeth, tongue, and his mouth Take my picture, Farrah Mantra Lose it in the crowd You won’t ever see me When the sun is out All I ever do Is pace around my house I know I never really clarified But you don’t need to worry I’ll do that myself Leave me in the silence Put me on the shelf Leave me on the shelf You won’t ever see me When the sun is out All I ever do Is pace around my house I know I never really clarified But you don’t need to worry I’ll do that myself Leave me in the silence Put me on the shelf Leave me on the shelf

Disco is as disco does Hide me underneath the scum Leave me out behind the fuzz Disco is as disco does Oh the bad boys they have fun Mother starship take me up All the good friends lost the touch Disco is as disco does The old punks they can’t drop the buzz Cuz disco is as disco does And all my friends have turned to dust Cuz disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does We are the diamond kings of smut Sink your teeth and suck the blood Wear my crown, I’ve had enough Disco is as disco does The old punks they can’t drop the buzz Cuz disco is as disco does And all my friends have turned to dust Cuz disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does Cuz disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does The old punks they can’t drop the buzz Cuz disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does All my friends have turned to dust Cuz disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does Disco is as disco does

Exoskeleton 02:46
Drunk dial on a Monday evening Dust flying up behind the car TV screaming at you, what are you breathing Smoke moving in between the bars Bones breaking, you can see my femur Fever’s rising and I’m getting too hot Fire’s burning, I can see you lying Mr. Sarcasm, I can read your thoughts Money’s rolling, party starts I think I’m dying dancing What’s the reason Exoskeleton, take your pills You can drop it, man You can keep this nonsense I’m an exoskeleton, take these pills I think I’m dying dancing What’s my reason I try to sleep But I can’t be still Halfway heartbroken Over rolled up dollar bills Fountain bursting In the scared straight daylight My heart is racing I’m about to pop Tango turning’s got me in her clutches Just another reason to go over the top Money’s rolling, party starts I think I’m dying dancing What’s the reason Exoskeleton, take your pills You can drop it, man You can keep your nonsense I’m an exoskeleton, take these pills I think I’m dying dancing What’s my reason I try to sleep But I can’t be still Halfway heartbroken Over rolled up dollar bills I try to sleep But I can’t be still Halfway heartbroken Over rolled up dollar bills I try to sleep But I can’t be still Halfway heartbroken Over rolled up dollar bills

Fool 03:11
You called me out Said you were my friend I can’t talk right now Unless it’s pretend I’m lost and found Again and again Don’t lose me now It’s nearly the end Wide awake But I’m sleeping through the days Walk away Slowly fading as I say Hey Don’t be so cruel You try to be the ruler of the cruelest Kind of cool Don’t be a fool Judge my every move Til I’m black and blue I’m raising love So don’t be raising hell You play your games Time will tell I built this house Watch me tear it down You know those floors Like I know the ground Wide awake But I’m sleeping through the days Walk away Slowly fading as I say Hey Don’t be so cruel You try to be the ruler of the cruelest Kind of cool Don’t be a fool Judge my every move Til I’m black and blue Don’t be so cruel You try to be the ruler of the cruelest Kind of cool

Money Mouth 03:06
Choke me Can you feel my heartbeat Drip drip Heroic chic You called me But the phone didn’t ring Lights out And I’m fighting to sleep Bad dreams Coming down from the peak Baggies lying in the passenger seat Deadly Got me under your feet Pop pop Starting to sink Tired lies stoke the fire and burn Life expired, keep it locked in the hearse Money mouth pouring out On your shirt blood red Take a seat in the sand Lying in bed Money mouth Are you covered in red Money mouth Why you covered Sixteen when I saw the man die Father figure turning white in the eyes Take three Six years flew by Ignore it all Convince yourself it’s a lie Tired eyes stoke the fire and burn Life expired, keep it locked in the hearse Money mouth pouring out On your shirt blood red Take a seat in the sand Lying in bed Money mouth Are you covered in red Money mouth Why you covered Money mouth pouring out On your shirt blood red Take a seat in the sand Lying in bed Money mouth Are you covered in red Money mouth Are you covered in red

Golden Age 04:15
Feeling ashamed Played like Texas hold ‘em I was taken to be tamed Lost my sense of motion Now I’m up up and away I’m flirting with the golden age Keep me afraid The hunters won’t be hunted We got nowhere to stay We have to keep on running Don’t fall on your face Keep messing with the golden age What’ll it be, the fire Or the magazines Sweet desire Playing live on the TV I’ll fake a smile Stay for a while You fake your smile That’s not my style Coming of age Take the keys and lock it I’ve been living off of change Lost the dime bags in my pocket I was broke anyway I’m still coming up from yesterday Stumble away The liquor keeps me going Wake up flat on my face 7 in the morning Look alive and awake I’m living in the golden age Feeling ashamed Played like Texas hold ‘em I was taken to be tamed Then I lost my sense of motion Now I’m up up and away I’m flirting with the golden age Keep me afraid The hunters won’t be hunted We got nowhere to stay You think that I’m just joking Life will wither and fade And the golden age will dust away What’ll it be, the fire Or the magazines Sweet desire Playing live on the TV I’ll fake a smile Stay for a while You fake your smile That’s not my style I can’t seem to hide it When I walk into my room I’m staring deep into my mirror To find a smile I try to understand it But I’m letting go from holding on I hate to be the bearer of bad news YEAH I’ll fake a smile Stay for a while You fake your smile That’s not my style I’ll fake a smile Stay for a while You fake your smile That’s not my style

Rita Repulsa 03:42
Rita Repulsa You’re so compulsive You’re all grown up now Your eyes are bulging Scheming and plotting In your defense You were always dubbed over They took your voice Hands are shaking Bones are breaking I can see Your mouth bleeding Eyes half open But clearly spoken You see my weakness So help me, Jesus Hands are shaking Bones are breaking I can see Your mouth bleeding Eyes half open But clearly spoken You see my weakness So help me, Jesus For that I feel sorry You’re so fucked up On Special K and molly Just get off the shit We’ll try to forgive you We would have already If you hadn’t tried To blow us up Come on get on the horse You’re good girl What’s up Hands are shaking Bones are breaking I can see Your mouth bleeding Eyes half open But clearly spoken You see my weakness So help me, Jesus Remember the parties And fun we had We grew up Got our dream jobs You got mad Why are you laughing When you’re trying to kill us We used to be best friends It never ends May the power protect you Rita Repulsa Maybe one day We’ll do this again

I lost my brain At least I think I did But I can’t really tell Because I’m going insane I’m feeling strange But I’m used to it The songs don’t feel as real I guess I’ll sleep all day I’ll stay gone Just as long as I think I should Something’s wrong But man, does it feel so good Maybe it’s the drugs (Ba ba ba ba ba) They don’t seem to budge (Ba ba ba ba ba) People say I’ve lost my way (Ba ba ba ba ba) Maybe it’s the drugs Memories fade Is that God I see Or just a glimpse of joy At least I’ll wilt away Under shade Oh, the vanity It’s about that time of week When I lose my days Maybe it’s the drugs (Ba ba ba ba ba) They don’t seem to budge (Ba ba ba ba ba) People say I’ve lost my way (Ba ba ba ba ba) Maybe it’s the drugs I’ll stay gone Just as long as I think I should Something’s wrong But man, it feels so good

Limitless walls Try not to fall For everything You’ve been enthralled by Shining in gold Born in this mold That you were given Long ago (Ohh ohh hey) (Ohh ohh break) Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign Passed out on the curb Where the legends die Wake up Yacked out And I’m ready to fight Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign Going away Stuck in the wave I tried to say I saw it coming Life turning grey Going insane My mind is busy Eyes are bluffing (Ohh ohh hey) (Ohh ohh break) Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign Passed out on the curb Where the legends die Wake up Yacked out And I’m ready to fight Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign Passed out on the curb Where the legends die Wake up Yacked out And I’m ready to fight Black cat heavy metal And a neon sign

I try to leave my thoughts put up I keep holding my breath I never asked you why you left My mouth is quiet But these voices won’t go to bed They’re always talking about death Last goodbyes Telephones Sing me one of those hateful songs Credit cards Break apart Pour me out a little bit to swallow Bring me up Face is numb At least we know it’s gonna last a while Keep me waiting on the telephone My legs are bleeding And I feel like I needed you You never asked me who I am I want to feed you But you never eat anything You have a problem So do I I love your everything I miss you I’m a fallen man If I saw you, I would cry Last goodbyes Telephones Sing me one of those hateful songs Credit cards Break apart Pour me out a little bit to swallow Bring me up Face is numb At least we know it’s gonna last a while Keep me waiting on the telephone Last goodbyes Telephones Sing me one of those hateful songs Credit cards Break apart Pour me out a little bit to swallow Bring me up Face is numb At least we know it’s gonna last a while Keep me waiting on the telephone
