TOOTH PACT
02:44
|
|||
|
I been patiently waiting in a
cannon breathing gunpowder
Seeing fires in my mind getting ready for my time
Writing endings for my starts
Buying horses for my carts
Placing targets on my marks
5 years planning for my entrance
Kerosene for breakfast
All my friends as well
I'm spending time with pyrotechnics
Melting down your lenses
Never say we’re reckless
Cuz everything I see will come to be as I expect it
Especially when I'm tested
For me to ever close my eyes in fear again
After all the love and trust I’ve found
I could never live it down
May each word I speak be backed by each of my teeth
I claim this as a pact, these words a ceremony

BIGSHOT

Chorus 1
BIG SHOT think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did nots
You’re always just a bit shy, following behind
I think you’ve spent enough time
Singing the same lines
Big talk, big shot think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did nots
You keep on freezing (UP!) while the iron is still hot
The phone is hanging (UP!) but you’re still in the same spot
Verse 1
Yeah it’s not fair, I know it’s not fair
You aint the only star that’s been left for dead
I asked about your name on the moon
It was quiet nobody knew you
Aim like an atom who swears it’s going to shoot you
Are you the only one-of-one to be found?
If you could see the rest, would it bring you back down?
Chorus 2
You’re no big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did nots
You’re always just a bit shy, following behind
I think you’ve spent enough time
Singing the same lines
Big talk, big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did nots
You keep on freezing (UP!) while the iron is still hot
The phone is hanging (UP!) but you’re still in the same spot
Verse 2
Save me, somebody save me
I’m screaming for a life that I cannot have
I need to know if someone out there’s listening
How come they don’t ever call back to me?
Will I ever know you’re close or die waiting for your attention?
Chorus 3
Big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did nots
You’re always just a bit shy, following behind
I think you’ve spent enough time
Singing the same lines
Big talk, big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did nots
You keep on freezing (UP!) while the iron is still hot
The phone is hanging (UP!) but you’re still in the same spot

[Intro]
Sweet relief like concrete
It lives under my dreams
Has more to lose than me
[Verse]
I can never see it any closer
Temple full of vultures
Circling my brain
Like I left it to the worms
Scary vicious unrelenting birds
Twisting up my words
I carefully scan my eyes
For something that I might’ve missed the prior thousand times
And god I’m so afraid of what I’ll find
[Pre-chorus]
So I guess I’ve made my bed
And I can’t lie to myself anymore
And I’ve put myself through hell
I hear the bells
My hair is growing thin
My eyes are sunken in
And every morning shows how bad a keeper I have been
[Chorus]
Buzz buzz buzz buzz
Hyperactive Hornets in my
Lungs lungs lungs lungs
Sick of nothing feeling like enough nough nough
I’m so stuck stuck stuck
And my body is inhabited by bugs bugs bugs
Shut up up up up
Nothing ever matters till it does does does does
Think I’ll start a fire just for fun
The sun is loaded like a gun
And shooting venom right into my blood blood blood blood blood
[Verse 2]
I look too far ahead
Glitter in my irises
From staring at the moon
It always calls to me
But I can’t seem to say
Anything the wind won’t carry away
I can barely see you
Standing right in view of
Vivid apparitions who project themselves
Onto picture perfect cels
I can barely see you
Standing right in view of
Vivid apparitions who project themselves
Onto picture perfect cels
[Chorus]
Buzz buzz buzz buzz
Hyperactive Hornets in my
Lungs lungs lungs lungs
Sick of nothing feeling like enough nough nough
I’m so stuck stuck stuck
And my body is inhabited by bugs bugs bugs
Shut up up up up
Nothing ever matters till it does does does does
Think I’ll start a fire just for fun
The sun is loaded like a gun
And shooting venom right into my blood blood blood blood blood
I can barely see you
Standing right in view of
Vivid apparitions who project themselves
Onto picture perfect cels
I can barely see you
Standing right in view of
Vivid apparitions who project themselves
Onto picture perfect cels
I can barely see you
Standing right in view of
Vivid apparitions who project themselves
Onto picture perfect cels
Sweet relief like concrete I
It lives under my dreams
Has more to lose than me
Become the catalyst
Feel the chaos consume me until I consume it and take command
Command CHANCE
Command TRUTH
Command FEAR
Command RISK

This ledge should know better
That we would've never
Worked out together
A losing bet
Show me all your tricks
I’ll empty my pockets
Wager all you've got
And run me all that shit
I can't take another day
I need some change
I need more to put behind my name
It’s all the same
How can you say
Just what I'm meant to be
I'm gunning for the deep end
There's demons
I'm ready for em
I know you're feening for uncertainty
But I'm not scared
At break-neck speed
Therе's things you just can’t see with such precautious eyes
You’rе petrified of being proven right
Oh that just won't do
I don’t think I need to tell you
You'll see me when I do
While you're eating your feet
I'm stealing your teeth
The things in my dreams wish they could chase me
Satisfied in grandiose dreams
Panopticon of possibilities
Each paranoid of me watching
Better bite your tongue!
I just can't take another day
I need some change
I need more, need more, need more
It's all the same
How can you say
Just what I'm meant to be
So fast and I'm not scared to crash I'm gone
It's really not a competition
I just got an affinity for winning
And a penchant for grinning
In my liabilities, envision beginnings
I don't second-guess a vision
Set it, abet it, and go
I don't think yall' really hearing me
The pace alone decides who's in my vicinity
Change the poles, rehire the gravity to trade for gold
Lose it all, get it back twice in a night
Hard-headed, I'm nice with the dice
I'll fund it
Luck's redundant
Got abundant trust
I'm up

COLLAR BONE
00:50
|
|||
|
Overwhelming pressure burdens my frame
I don’t think it was ever built to
carry this much weight
Lost in sight beneath a sea
Of praise for saving all that
help for someone else
Who needs it just a little more

PIN-EYE
04:32
|
|||
|
…2, 3, 4!
Gone blind, got a pin in my eye
Six stories of how it got there
Tried ice, now I’m sick of the night
Yeah these stars got me feeling nauseous
What the hell are you looking at
Thinking that you’re so much better than me?
Keep staring no
I swear I dare ya’
just might give you something to see
Baby I was born an Effigy
Oh why do I beg my legs to take me
Much farther than they were meant to?
I want too much
I never listen when my body says it’s had enough
Good enough might be good enough for those other kids
Don’t you stomach it
Put your excuses and your knots
Inside a million dollar box
When you come to, you’ll see it’s more than worth the
Years you think you lost
And there’s pins in my nerves
One more for each time I try
To outdo, like my job’s to astound you
I guess i’ve got to deliver
Fall to pieces
Look for reasons
Pray to Jesus
I wish I could just go back in time to tell you I need help
Oh why do I beg my legs to take me
Much farther than they were meant to?
I plead in vain these bleeding hands might reach for you
Oh why do I beg my legs to take me
Much farther than they were meant to?
I want too much
I never listen when my body says it’s had enough
You don’t have to pray for strength again my friend
I cry much more these days for you
Cause how the hell could a kid even know to
Godspeed it’ll all catch up to you
Oh why do I beg my legs to take me
Much farther than they were meant to
I plead in vain these bleeding hands might reach for you
Oh why do I beg my legs to take me
Much farther than they were meant to?
I want too much
I never listen
My body says it’s had enough
(Oh why do I beg my legs to take me)
My legs to take me
(Much farther than they were meant to)
They were meant to
I want I want I want I want
I all
(In your eyes)
Oh why do I beg my legs to take me
Much farther than they were meant to?
(I just wanted you to know I’ve given everything)

MAYBE LATER DANCE
03:08
|
|||
|
[Verse]
Slipping through my shaky hands
Never seem to have enough
Time to think it through
I’ll try to hide inside the quiet
Corners of your mind
Just in case you take a glance
Sit and wait with bated breath
Won’t you please ask my name?
Chronic later maybe dance
Busy dreaming we could be friends
[Chorus]
Oh I wanna be just like you
Oh I wanna be just like you
I’m mastering a mimicry of everything you do
A mask of mirrored imagery
Absent of my misery
[Verse 2]
Didn’t mean to disappoint
I would never tell a lie
I believed it too
I’m just a thief with pockets full of plans I picked from you
And you should bite your tongue cuz I’d steal it just so i can be a muse
Chronic maybe later dance
Busy making idols of my friends
[Chorus]
Oh I wanna be just like you
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
Oh I wanna be just like you
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
I’m mastering a mimicry of everything you do
A mask of mirrored imagery
Absent of my misery
[Bridge]
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
Oh I wanna be just like you
Just like you
[Chorus]
Oh I wanna be just like you
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
Oh I wanna be just like you
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
I’m mastering a mimicry of everything you do
A mask of mirrored imagery
Absent of my misery
Yeah I wanna be just like you
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
Oh I wanna be just like you
(I’ll do whatever it takes)
How I wanna be just like you
Like you, like you
Like you, like you, like you, like you

CONTROL BABY
03:19
|

|
[Chorus]
Come back home when you have some sense
You can throw your life away just not at my expense
You’re not the son I raised
Save the son I disciplined and praised
For the one who disobeyed me
[Verse 1]
God I fear the adult you’ll grow into
The way you’ve been carrying on
(You’ll sink soon)
Something has gone horribly wrong
(désastreux)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Had I not been so easy on you
There’d be time to rectify you
[Chorus]
Come back home when you have some sense
You can throw your life away just not at my expense
You’re not the son I raised
Save the son I disciplined and praised
For the one who disobeyed me
[Verse 2]
I guess I’m hard-headed
I’m dead set on ruining
Everything and everyone
A vision said I’d never grow
If I’m afraid to pledge flesh and bone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Had I not been so easy on you
There’d be time to rectify you
[Chorus]
Come back home when you have some sense
You can throw your life away just not at my expense
You’re not the son I raised
Save the son I disciplined and praised
For the one who disobeyed me
[Bridge]
I can tell when you see me
That my eyes look just like mirrors
My hands seem soft like clay
But did you raise a tool or a hand?
Tell me did you raise a man?
I have nightmares of being anchored down
[Chorus]
Come back home when you have some sense
You can throw your life away just not at my expense
You’re not the son I raised
Come back home when you have some sense
You can throw your life away just not at my expense
You’re not the son I raised
Save the son I disciplined and praised
For the one who disobeyed
Strayed
Strayed away

EAT YOUR FRIENDS
03:14
|
|||
|
Heavy metal shot through your teeth with a red Beretta
The beretta fires fast and won’t make you feel any better
You better hurry up or your friends will be fed instead uh,
Instead of breaking bread, you should kick em’ before they get up
Frivolous and bitter
diminishing sense of who I am
It’s a habit I wish I could kick
or do I get a little thrill in the feeling of being
Set on fire
While it burns and begs for more
And don’t you want more?
It’s not enough
It’s not enough
It’s just me
(It’s just you)
If not for this jealousy
I might feel better
I keep putting everyone else
On pedestals
Just to burn them down
Menace of an illness
I’m looking just to see who I am
You’re nothing more than you’ll ever be in this circumstance
You are the pedal to metal this is your only chance
Now repeat it back
Being good is stale
And I don’t care to pretend
Anymore
Right hook
To my ribs, they’re broke
My fractured bones
The fragments are in my throat
Left you
Lying in the dark
With just your thoughts
A bottle of your blood in knots
Overgrown invasive weeds unearth the roots and kill the seeds
(And kill the seeds)
Laid to rest you’ll never see it through
So eat your friends
They’ll understand
Cause they would too

RE:CONCERNS
04:26
|

|
[Intro]
Parasite, We both know that you’ve been barely hanging on
Pathetic light, drag behind all you like
I will eclipse you every time
[Verse 1]
You’re in no position to make demands
I am not your friend
I’ll hear no talk of giving grace from crooks who only ever take
Attention-starved barbaric apes who never learned to act their age
[Pre-chorus]
It’s time I had a go at the guillotine you’re not the only one who gets to lose your head
And if you reattach it again, I’m settling the score on our broken necks
[Chorus]
No God could abandon you enough times
Drunk on blood gone bad
You’d find your way back
I’ve tried understanding Jupiter’s trash
Strike me where I stand
If I spare you again
[Verse 2]
I’ll kill Cain’s bastard twice as a sacrifice and
Curse the ground if I’m able
To pull the spikes
Or my wasted time
from this useless blue-eyed Jesus Christ
Oh, you’ve done it again
Bled patience bare from another friend
Feels like mine’s always high in demand
Vampire needs my light in the end
in the end It’ll bend, It’ll break
You’re a leach and a snake
You’re the dirt to my name
I’m the dirt in your grave
“I hope it is - or in time will be - alarmingly clear…”
[Chorus]
No God could abandon you enough times
Drunk on blood gone bad
You’d find your way back
I’ve tried understanding Jupiter’s trash
Strike me where I stand
If I spare you again
[bridge A]
First I’d like to validate the gripes of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED}
I see this not as persecution but a learning chance to grow
For your client who’s quite talented but has a ways to go
I’ve found that treating people right, for him, is not the status quo
I often worry people like him hear me speak and get annoyed
And though he never seems to say it I can hear it in his voice
And in his blatant disregard for all my unattended rooted scars we see the core
Of the issue at hand I’m hoping that you’ll understand
That in his eagerness to carry on without me on his back
I am reminded of the spine beneath my ego that I lack
I’d hate myself too if I were half as big a burden as
You, you, you
It’s now or never, on your marks
Let’s see who lies in fits and starts
Can your present last if you have no past?
Will it hail and rain in your world of glass?
Won’t go down without a fight

SASUKE
04:13
|

|
I got a bit too caught up in all of my ghosts
Sometimes I forget that’s all they ever were
I understand now the world will not leave me behind
But it will not wait up
For me to tie my laces close
Around the things I hate the most
My shoes are filled by someone new who will not be held back
It took me all this time to realize
That I might not be doomed
If I trust the ground beneath my feet
It just might stay to carry me
From now on I solemnly swear
That I’ll try a little bit more
To remember there’s good in this place
And it will not wait up
For me to tie my laces close
Around the things I hate the most
My shoes are filled by someone new who will not be held back
It took me all this time to realize
That I might not be doomed
If I trust the ground beneath my feet
It just might stay to carry me
A declaration
A promise on my teeth
To never leave a word without a ceremony
It took me all this time to realize
That I might not be doomed
If I trust the ground beneath my feet
It just might stay to carry me
All those words caught up in your throat
Do no good there
Spit it out
I need you to know I’m so, so…

RUSSIAN DOLL

[Verse]
What’s with that hole in your head?
Couldn’t say when it came
How I was shot last time
But I can tell I’m when I’m caught hopelessly
Beneath seances summoning more from me
Than I’ve got
And I’m just so tired cuz each day takes aim
At all that it knows me to have
And expands on it’s list of demands
This year I enter this winter so full of resentment
Covered in brand new bruises but none that I remember
I’ve seen the signs before
[Chorus]
So why can’t I recall?
How did I find my way home last time?
I fall on square one, each fall I take
Why should I try again?
[Verse]
If I know that tomorrow will bring new lows, can I still go?
Is it hopeless to put myself through the motions
Through this wringer?
Oh my head’s hardly here on a good day
And It’s certainly gone when it rains
If you shot me tonight would it kill me?
Would I find the time to die in your gaze?
[Pre-Chorus]
Can my present last if I have no past?
Nothings clear when I look back
It’s just black
But I’ve seen these clouds before
[Chorus]
So why can’t I recall?
How did I find my way home last time?
I fall on square one, each fall I take
Why should I try again
When in the end
It never changes
Just the same thing
One song that keep spinning
Over and over again
I’m scared out of my mind
Stuck inside of a hole
And this is just the first of many
First of many, first of many
Grasping at liquid minutes
I feel like I’ll never be satisfied
I am scared out of my mind
Reveling in this dance
Hoping it’s the first of many
First of many, first of many.
Can it be our first of many, first of many, first of many?

TRUST CEREMONY
05:22
|
|||
|
Will I know when I’ve gone too far?
Or frozen myself in time?
An impossible brain with impossible wants
Lost and astray with impossible thoughts
I’ve given up my daydreams
To dream in place of living
I see the world exactly how I’d like to think it’d like to perceived by me
I can’t explain a thing to you I
Wouldn’t know where to start
Wouldn’t know where to start
Just watch your tongue sharpen on my skin
Not so thin but not hardened
These Insatiable aspirations makes me whole
Some day keeps me warm when the present gets too cold
So cold
I’m freezing
Every piece of praise and sign that I’m believed in
Solid in a crystal ball
It’s bends the waves of the light
To mend the rest of my life
Do you also see your future starting with the farthest part?
Live your life to close the space between the end and start?
And when it’s hard
Do you hang onto any chance
That you might be in control
That you’re the who owns
These Insatiable aspirations makes me whole
Some day keeps me warm when the present gets too cold
How can you look me in the eyes and tell me you have not come far?
Fall in love with who you’ll one day be but please don’t fall so hard
That you start to resent every second stuck in the present
Absent and restless
Unhappy and reckless
You seem so far away
Somewhere beyond your next life
I’d never make you stay
I just hope you smile in this one
You seem so far away
Somewhere beyond your next life
I’d never make you stay
I just hope you smile in this one
You seem so far away
Somewhere beyond your next life
No one can make you stay
I just hope you smile in this one
You seem so far away
Somewhere beyond your next life
No one can make you stay
I just hope you smile in this one
