1. TWO BIRDS STONED AT ONCE

So, here I am again.
Both of my eyes so, open wide and gleaming.
Blank stares, with races running only an inch behind.

Sit back and watch the pavement get closer as it aims for your face,
as it aims for your face.
So step back, let me take over.
Step back, let me take over.

Can you hear the silhouettes?
The slim and dark figures.
Rising like giants out of the shadows.
They're crawling out.
They're crawling out of our skin.

Here I am again.
We build ourselves, where monsters used to hide.
So step back, let me take over.
So step back, let me take over.

And we're all whores, some of us just get paid.

Oh, how we celebrate the mediocrity.
My feelings crawl the walls.
They crawl the walls, and finally fall.
They finally fall.
Like empires and old loves.

Can you hear the silhouettes?
The slim and dark figures.
Rising like giants out of the shadows.
They're crawling out.
They're crawling out of our skin.

(So step back, let me take over.)
Oh, how we celebrate the mediocrity.
(So step back, let me take over.)
Oh, how we celebrate the mediocrity.
(So step back, let me take over.)
Oh, how we celebrate the mediocrity.
(So step back, let me take over.)


2. IS IT PROGRESSION IF A CANNIBAL USES A FORK?

Listen up sweetie.
We all know that you're a beautiful girl in this horrible world.
In this suggestion of horror.
The portraits on the walls...
Look at their eyes, they always seem to follow.

Look at their eyes, they always seem to follow me!

Out of tune this tale of terror.
The solemn tolling of the funeral bells.
I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours
where everyday's a Bone Palace Ballet.

Biting the flesh from your finger.
You know, I just can't help myself.
I wish to believe, but belief is a graveyard.
May this light never see morning, as finally one will not.
Maybe you're the one that's overrated.
Shriek and scream much too horrified to speak.

Out of tune this tale of terror.
The solemn tolling of the funeral bells.
I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours
where everyday's a Bone Palace Ballet.

(Flowers of red, begin to bloom on the white sheets in her room.
Our lifeless bodies lying there rotting. For all of time, and eternity)

This morning I woke up, I rubbed my eyes,
and I took a quick glance around the room,
and saw what happened here last night.
There was blood on the walls,
and the sheets smelled like sweat and sex.
We have narrowed it down to a butcher knife,
and the mockingbird with the blood.

Out of tune this tale of terror.
The solemn tolling of the funeral bells.
I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours
where everyday's a Bone Palace Ballet.


3. LEXINGTON

The fields are near and I won't trust the air with secrets.
I can't stop holding this treasure in my arms.
For all the water in the ocean
could never turn this swan's legs from black to white.

Let them say, let them say, let them say what they please.

You won't be leaving my arms...ever, I promise you that.
Even if you want me to let go, honey.
Even if you want me to let go.
You won't be leaving my arms...ever, I promise you that.
Even if you want me to let go, honey.
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you.

We went on drinking, celebrating something
I looked at you and said that I'm forever yours
You looked at me and said oh the idea of being in love
The idea. The idea of being forever yours.

You won't be leaving my arms...ever, I promise you that.
Even if you want me to let go, honey.
Even if you want me to let go.
You won't be leaving my arms...ever, I promise you that.
Even if you want me to let go, honey.
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you.

Screaming from the inside of me.
A lonely and pleading phantasm.
We only get what we see
Gazing so desperately
Between the things that we fear
Gazing so desperately
Elaborate delusions.
We're watching segregating illusions.
Between the things that we see, and the things that we fear.
No, no it won't make them disappear.

You won't be leaving my arms...ever, I promise you that.
Even if you want me to let go, honey.
Even if you want me to let go.
You won't be leaving my arms...ever, I promise you that.
Even if you want me to let go, honey.
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you.

Even if you want me to let go, honey...


4. BULLS MAKE MONEY, BEARS MAKE MONEY, PIGS GET SLAUGHTERED

I'm right here in front of you,
and I can't stop sh-sh-shaking
I can't stop sh-sh-shaking.
Come on and hold me still.

Did my heart love until now?
'Cause I feel as though I've never seen
beauty till this night.
I'm forever, yeah, I'm forever yours.

You're wearing your skin like it's too tight.

And there she was, reflecting so brightly the warmth that she installs.
And there she was, we were infinite for a moment

There's not one girl here that will be lead by her conscience
in a world where every girl wants to be a model
what's wrong babe?
did daddy not give you enough attention.

Did my heart love until now?
'Cause I feel that I've never seen
beauty till this night.
I'm forever, yeah, I'm forever yours.

Take back what's mine. (yeah, I'm forever yours)
Just leave me in it,
and everything that I believe in (yeah, I'm forever yours)
She's shaking. She's shaking.
Please act surprised.
She's shaking. She's shaking.
Please act surprised.
She's shaking. She's shaking.
Please act surprised.
She's shaking. She's shaking.

And there she was, reflecting so brightly the warmth that she installs.
And there she was, we were infinite for a moment
And there she was, we were infinite for a moment


5. A LETTER FROM JANELLE

We make the sun shine, we make come on
Move with me. Move with me.
Move with me. Move with me.

Don't you think I could tell that you were trying to, trying to
Make a fool out of me. a fool out of me.
Don't you think I could tell that you were trying to, trying to
Make a fool out of me. a fool out of me.

To remember who you really are.

It's so easy to get lost in constantly having to present
Whatever face you believe a person wants to see rather than your own.

Yet we hesitate to surrender all of our insecurities
Move with me. Move with me.
Only the ones we are most comfortable relinquishing
Move with me. Move with me.

Don't you think I could tell that you were trying to, trying to
Make a fool out of me. a fool out of me.
Don't you think I could tell that you were trying to, trying to
Make a fool out of me. a fool out of me.

(x6:)
Such a paradox,
Isn't it, isn't it?

Isn't it, isn't it? (x2)


6. I DIDN'T SAY I WAS POWERFUL, I SAID I WAS A WIZARD

And the moment that she left the room
The album started skipping
Goodbye to beauty, shared with the ones that you love
A shadow that has fallen over this town
A shadow that has fallen over this town

Attention, all of my worst critics
Who were once the best of friends
You're all just crows on the power lines

Into romantic speculations
Into romantic speculations

Sightings of shape shifting
Dissolved into the darkness
A final opinion is of less value
Than an appreciation of,
And tolerance for obscurity

Theatrics, all made up and pianos all playing at once through the dust
I found it difficult in my excitement to keep from floating off
To keep from floating off and off and off

Into romantic speculations
Into romantic speculations

Sightings of shape shifting
Dissolved into the darkness
A final opinion is of less value
Than an appreciation of,
And tolerance

A shadow that has fallen over this town [x6]
[In background:]
I'll rest on nets made by spiders fed on drug dosed flies
The spider sings alone
The spider sings alone
He paced the room with hurried steps
And placed his hands upon his head
As if he were afraid
His thoughts were bursting from his brain

Sightings of shape shifting
Dissolved into the darkness
A final opinion is of less value
Than an appreciation of,
And tolerance

Sightings of shape shifting
Dissolved into the darkness
A final opinion is of less value
Than an appreciation of

As if he were afraid!


7. ...AND THEN THE LIVER SCREAMED HELP!

Covered up by the dim, and cloudy sky,
The moon is nowhere to be found tonight
And the sun,

Now, I've been drinking all night,
Trying to get rid of this pain in my side
I can hear my organs screaming out

(they're screaming out)
We will kill ourselves to save ourselves
(they're screaming out)
And I'll watch them violently drift away

well, it's hiding on the other side of the world somewhere,
Making someone's day so much brighter
And well, for you, you're wherever the sunlight is
And well, for you, you're wherever the sunlight is

Now, I've been drinking all night
Trying to get rid of this pain in my side
I can hear my organs screaming out

(they're screaming out)
We will kill ourselves to save ourselves
(they're screaming out)
and I'll watch them violently drift away

Now I'm melting to the floor, and I'm staring straight ahead
Swimming in empty bottles
I'm just trying to catch my breath

Now, I've been drinking all night
Trying to get rid of this pain in my side
I can hear my organs screaming out

Believe this, believe what I say.
And I just can't help it,
And i just can't help it,
I'm so tangled up in you.


8. WE SWAM FROM ALBATROSS, THE DAY WE LOST KILEY COST

The next chance that I get,
I'm just going to take it.
Take this and everything.
So say goodbye now
(So say goodbye now)
No, I won't be back around,
And well, it's all over now.

There in the heart that will never be filled,
And we will wait,
We will wait in that place.
Still, all I'm looking for is something,
Something that I've found.
(We can't go back)

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Everything that happened between us was real.
So say goodbye now
(So say goodbye now)
No, I won't be back around,
And well, it's all over now.

There in the heart that will never be filled,
And we will wait,
We will wait in that place.
Still, all I'll looking for is something,
Something that I've found.
(We can't go back)

Across the ocean,
Hear her screams.
Across the ocean,
Hear her screams.


9. LIFE IS A PERCEPTION OF YOUR OWN REALITY

I'd like to take this time to detach my jaw,
And really take a look.
I think that I'm done.
Put away this old guitar,
And on my way out,
Hang my vocal chords up on the door.

If I could just do these things
(If I could do these things)
If I could maybe do these things
Each and every day wouldn't pass
The way that they so often do
That they so often do
And maybe, just maybe.
Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

I could even peel the skin hiding my face
And ballroom dance with the cartilage of my nose
Just to show you how to really move

I'll show you how to really move

If I could just do these things
If I could maybe do these things
Each and every day wouldn't pass
The way that they so often do
That they so often do
And maybe, just maybe.
Life would be everything we wanted it to be.

I'll show you how to really move
I'll show you how to really move

If I could just do these things
(If I could do these things)
If I could maybe do these things
Each and every day wouldn't pass
The way that they so often do
That they so often do
And maybe, just maybe.
Life would be everything we wanted it to be.


10. IF I CUT MY HAIR, HAWAII WILL SINK

You keep tugging on my shirt,
just to pull me closer.
One single step at a time.
Your skin against mine.
I can just feel you wondering.
Fit to be tied,

Fit to be tied.
Fit to be, fit to be tied.

I feel weak.
Thrown in wide open spaces.
We turn ourselves inside out,
expose what we're afraid to see.

And I know what you're thinking.
I tell myself.
I keep pulling
I keep pulling

Now grown numb.
Petrified, I think.
No, no you don't mean it.
You simply say it, because you like the way that it sounds

I feel weak.
Thrown in wide open spaces.
We turn ourselves inside out,
expose what we're afraid to see.

And I know what you're thinking.
I feel weak,
And I give up.
And I give up.
Sell it well.
C'mon and sell it, sell it.
Sell it well.
C'mon and sell it, sell it.
I feel weak


11. SMITTEN FOR THE MITTEN

Just me and you,
With the world in our hands,
With the world in our hands.
(So say what you want)

I'm really not who you think I am,
I keep the ones that make me sane,
So stop telling me I'm not who you thought I would be

And I'm so much better now that I'm far from you,
This passion drowns our need for love

Don't you ask me any questions.
(Just come on and follow me)
Through the wires and ocean bottoms,
Through the skies and empty rooms.
(From the pit of my stomach)
Coming out through my throat,
Regret and failure,
The need to keep you coming back for more.

And I'm so much better now that I'm far from you,
This passion drowns our need for love.
No, we can't stop even if we wanted to,
This passion drowns our need for love.

And this is all still so new to me,
Our eyes have lost their color.
And now I'm trying, I'm trying to keep my balance.
But there is nothing, there's nothing to keep me steady.
And I'll hold myself up.

And I'm so much better now that I'm far from you,
This passion drowns our need for love.
No, we can't stop even if we wanted to,
This passion drowns our need for love.
I'm so much better now that I'm far from you,
This passion drowns our need for love.
No, we can't stop even if we wanted to,
This passion drowns our need for love.


12. INTENSITY IN TEN CITIES

I'm not the one that you want, I'll only let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for my...'

I think it's every time I walk into a room
a silence so sudden that I seem to hear it
(Smiles turn to frowns)
Contact saying that you are the rain on their parade.

And how long could you hang on to a word?
Tell me, how long could you hang on to a word?

I'm not the one that you want, I'll only let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'

Or maybe it's all eyes on him
in love with ego and intention
the eyes that are just begging me for more.
This is gone and I can see it
your head is full of words,
full of words that don't mean anything.

And how long could you hang on to a word?
Tell me, how long could you hang on to a word?

I'm not the one that you want, I'll always let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'

I'm not the one that you want, I'll always let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'
(If that's how you feel, then what's there to do?
I'll keep this feeling in my heart
but when you look in my eyes, you will know the truth.)


13. THE UNDERTAKER'S THIRST FOR REVENGE (THE FINAL BATTLE)

My eyes are glistening with the ghosts of my past
The memories that we once had

Now that you've turned the world against me
I'm only trying to win them back

With my eyes sewn shut
To shut down and bathe in these words about me
And now you're standing alone with your eyes to the sun
Standing alone with your eyes to the sun

That heaven and earth may strike their sounds together
Worlds are ruined this way,
And we've all been there time and time again

Before the battle always seem so still
And I will see you someday again in the clouds
And I will see you someday again in the clouds

All the world's a stage!
And all the world's a stage!

With my eyes sewn shut
To shut down and bathe in these words about me
And now you're standing alone with your eyes to the sun
Standing alone with your eyes to the sun

That heaven and earth may strike their sounds together
Worlds are ruined this way,
And we've all been there time and time again

Time

My eyes are glistening with the ghosts of my past
And what we once had

And all the world's a stage
I existed because I dreamed
And well, I dream no more
I've given up on the entire human race

[Spoken:]
Empty... is the sky before the sun wakes up
Empty... is the eyes of animals in cages
Empty... the faces of women in mourning
When everything has been taken from them
Me? Don't ask me about empty
