The end had come night and
Your sky had gone cloudy at best
Forget telescopes kid
I'll show you the ropes, don't you stress
I'll save your dear Earth
It's rebirth will be sung through the stars
I'll be right behind you
Where no one can find you, on Mars
My, oh my, those constellation eyes
Keep looking up and start watching the skies
Comets aren't the only things that fly
All these planets are aligned
Then worlds collide
Read my palm and match my sign
No time to figure out what's to be done
With our extraterrestrial guests
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Just a star-crossed and stir-crazy mess
Earthly regrets lie in
All of the secrets you kept
Hold down the hatch, now
Your body's been snatched while you slept
You've changed your behavior
No savior can come out of me
Take your last deep breath
The imminent heat death burns free

Spell That I Was Under
03:35
|
|

Faith, farewell
You forget that I'm an infidel
You're the one who took me straight to hell
Dragged me under and you
Renounced me to wicked clientele
Oh, but as the days passed over
Your glamor faded fast
Each new trance had come in droves
I don't remember being asked
Winter soon turned into spring
And soon the spring became the summer
And to this day, I'm wondering
Just whose spell that I was under
Enchanter
Got me banking on a wish granter
I'm believing in your true slander
I proclaim we need to just move on
No need to meander
Oh, but did you really feel
I would stay forever dumb
But are you proud you had your hold
On a mind so pure and young

Big Eyes
03:29
|
|||
My eyes you caught, my heart you stole
Big eyes that stare right through my soul
Too similar to something past
An exercise in moving fast
Over time you keep on waving
Red flags all around
But I know I've been craving a
Sympathetic sound
Cut us down to size
You play your game, I'll analyze
Waiting for a sign
You lay your claim, I'll fall in line
Femme fatale of ours
With entrancing powers
Building up your charm
Do you mean no harm
It's happening, surprise surprise
Again I'm lost in your big eyes
I'm never good at reading lips
Now I'm left to come to grips
I think it's a fit
Guess I'm up for it
Time slows to a crawl
Waiting for your call

Partner of mine
Remember the days when we
Were feeling fine
Now we are enemies
Perched at our throats
Waiting for the first move
Sow your mad oats
Going against the groove
False eloquence
It's all useless when we've
Taken a fence
The tangled web we weave
Binds me to death
No use to struggle
I'm saving my breath
Going for double
What is a foe but a poisonous friend
What is our trust but a means to an end
What is a life but a battle for love
What is our tie but the great lackthereof
Rival of theirs
We should have known you were
Putting on airs
Moving your act forward
What's left to gain
There are no notions left
To entertain
Leaving us motionless
Let out a sigh
I'll lay around just
Wallow in my
Antagonistic lust
Favor has fell
Schadenfreude in situ
It feel so swell
Loving to hate you
Two opposing sides
Isn't that how war goes?
How far can we get
Without coming to blows
From the highest highs
To the deepest of lows
There is no return
From the path which you chose
What is a foe but a poisonous friend
What is your trust but a means to an end
What is a trick but a sleight of the hand
What a pathetic excuse for a man
What is a life but a battle for love
What is our tie but the great lackthereof

Come Around
02:57
|
|

I said I'd shut my mouth
But here I go again
Your name pollutes my tongue
And echoes mortal sin
We fell asleep in evening dark
Your gaslight flashing low
We stayed up watching falling stars
To make our fire grow
You've got me under your thumb
I've been waiting for you to come around
Hold on ad infinitum
Simply waiting for you to come around
I remember I felt sane
Before our paths had crossed
There's no emotion surplus
For you to exhaust
I think your recollection
Differs from the truth
Unwanted vivisection
Of my naive youth
It's all been just one big fuckaround
Sitting, waiting for you to come around
We'll move on soon, but we're stuck for now
I'll be waiting when you come around

Bonnie and Clyde
02:58
|
|

I need a girl who's just as crazy as me
She holds a gun like Patty Hearst in my dreams
And nothing' gonna tear apart but gunfire
She shoots so straight and never missed her man
She looks so pretty with a gun in her hands
And I swear that girl is gonna light my fire
You be Bonnie, I'll be Clyde
Until we both lay down and die
Our bodies broken from the ride
Your minds half-wasted from the rye
There's no tomorrow here in sight
Put down our gun, put down our pride
And say good bye
I need a girl who doesn't mind getting shot
She holds my hand until the blood starts to clot
And stares into my eyes until we expire
You'll see her coming by the trail of the dead
She will seduce you with a gun to your head
And I swear this girl is gonna spark my desire

Set Up to Fail
03:27
|
|

They say the third time's the charm
Work your magic on us
Your illusions are a grand escape
Visionless mind to disarm
Was it all just a bust
Don't just stand there with your mouth agape
Act and the masses bow down
Never finding your faults
Oh how splendid, so magnificent
But should they worship your crown
When your mind's at a halt
Just your presence seems it's sufficient
Oh hear these words you would rue to forget
Constant eyes watching your every move
Useless to run, now, your maker is met
When you're set up to fail what you proved
I've lost all my sense of self
Take my identity
Make and sell me, I am yours to sink
Watch me as I move through hell
Drown in subversity
Idolize me, I'm your missing link
Capture by my sleight of hand
Now you're under my command
Looks like things turned out as planned
Glorify those you love on high
You stand in your disbelief
Have you sold out your soul
Seas of faces now assault your eyes
Longing for normalized grief
Circling out of control
No direction, time to improvise

A New, Subversive Art
03:13
|
|

Oh, how you misread my intentions
Though deep down, I know who's right
Stick around and help me build the tension
Make me see the black from white
Oh, how I'm placed in opposition
Maybe lashing out will hold
Help me know the great human condition
Are the young wiser than old
So don't go self-destructing on me
We're all just tempers aching to be
It seems that we've been practicing
A new, subversive art
Who has the right to break
The inner workings of our hearts
I know my favorite memory
Was tearing you apart
But looking back now I am wishing
I was better from the start
Oh, how I've become your pariah
Your words have been set in stone
Just for once I see that you're the liar
Taking on a crooked tone

Losing My Balance
03:31
|
|

Well I wish I could repair my broken psyche
The ask me if I'm fine, well I just might be
It's picking up where I left off that's hard
When I softened up, you broke my guard
Well I wish that I had spoken up
When you showed your true side
It kept me so broken up
I could lay down and die
There may come a day
When I no longer run and hide
Free at last, free at last
I'm in for the ride but
As for me I'm starting over
Ain't no luck in a four leaf clover
Looking through these eyes less than sober
Losing my balance
Well it ain't no life growing old with the one you hate
You wanted it all, now there's mold on your silver plate
Come on and fill my head with your fascinating words
I'm on to you, your loving speech is slurred
I let you in, but then you broke my faith
Lying with your bodies interlaced
You've got me, hook, line, and sinker
What's the mind of a backwards thinker
You've turn med into a bitter drinker
Blowing my last chance

Honey moon phased faded
Seem like so longer ago
Still not settled in
Think how long we've waited
Playing and unfit role
Dabbling in sin
Such a blur of fuss
What's happened to us
Don't cry for me my love
Tears are useless
At least this way
I'm going out in style
So let's settle who will die
And who lives
i think we'll be at this
For a while
Drops your fists impromptu
How could you hurt me so
Never leave a mark
One you've lost my trust
You promise me that you won't
Keep me in the dark
I want to make it known these scars have stories
I want to go on record and repent
I want you to move on and forget my face
My name will be the only thing you kept
