1. BURN THE STRAW MAN

Burn the straw man...
Burn the straw man...
Burn the straw man...

Light a match and watch it burn
Burn the fucking straw man down!!! Ugh!!!

Now who is the victim
and what is the charge?
We've been stuck in the system for years
There's a human being wanted at large
He's a status code/a shit stain/
a fucking disease/Let's go

We're just legal fiction
they make you up and take a name
A piece of paper gave you a life
but they treat you like a thing

They have ways of distraction
they keep you entertained
Keep watching/don't ask questions reinforce the make believe

They're watching me/they're watching you
They're watching me/they're watching you
They're watching me and
they're watching you

Be afraid/Be very afraid
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

Understand/Do you stand under me
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

I'm sick of following the leader
I'm sick of the shame
I've been sick from the cloud of smoke blinding this gaze

So put your left foot in
and your right foot out
And charge that mother fucker
Knock the straw man down

He has a million voices telling us lies
Describing your fate to your face
while scripting your demise
He uses fear as his favorite play
while hiding his eyes
For the calm and innocent
who wreak of surprise

They're watching me/they're watching you
They're watching me/they're watching you
They're watching me and
they're watching you

Be afraid/Be very afraid
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

Understand/Do you stand under me
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

I'm afraid/I'm very afraid
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

Understand/Do you stand under me
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man

Burn the straw man/He falls over
Burn the straw man/
He burns so fucking hot

Light a match/watch it burn
Put your hand up/take a turn

Light a match/watch it burn
Put your hand up/take a turn

Be afraid/Be very afraid
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

Understand/Do you stand under me
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

I'm afraid/I'm very afraid
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man/Burn

Understand/Do you stand under me
Burn like a straw man
Burn like a straw man

Burn/Burn/Burn!


2. LILITH

Welcome/To my kingdom of hearts
Feed my ego with lust
Slide my fingers inside
(spread you like warpaint
on my skin and now you're welcome)

By the grace of my hands
Take in my wonderland
Where the streets painted red
(Fill me with your poison in my skin
and now you're mine)

Cover me with your youth and beauty
(Your death stings a rose
in bloom now faded red)
Cover me with your youth

Bow down/I'm the Vasilissa
The Queen/The Queen of Hearts
Bow down/Kiss the rings/Agapa me
The Queen/The Queen of Hearts

The faithful/grab the holes in their chests
Spill the blood of my blood
I stain the rouge on my face
(Bathe me in your crimson
the story of you life ends now)

Cover me with your youth and beauty
(Your death stings a rose
in bloom now faded red)
Cover me with your youth

Bow down/I'm the Vasilissa
The Queen/The Queen of Hearts
Bow down/Kiss the rings/Agapa me
The Queen/The Queen of Hearts

Your life flows circles around
We are one in this blood sea
Let's paint this town red

Your heartbeat muffled in my hands
I am you and you are me
Let's paint this town red

Cover me/Cover me/Cover me
with your youth

Bow down/I'm the Vasilissa
The Queen/The Queen of Hearts
Bow down/Kiss the rings/Agapa me
The Queen/The Queen of Hearts


3. HEADSPIN

We're all alone/I'm moving closer now
I need to feel you running through my veins
A straight shot piercing through my skin
It's not enough/I need to drink you in

My lungs are hot/begging for more air
But my body is half-way there
And waiting for the beating of my heart
To catch up 'til we shake

Please don't tell me that you're leaving now
Stay and bury yourself in me

He said
Please just don't stop/Please don't stop
until I'm screaming your name
It's a head-spin
until were both insane again
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

He said
I just won't stop/I won't stop
'til you're screaming my name
It's a head-spin
until were both insane again
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

(I smell your skin on mine)

Hold me closer and pull me under
With our fingers interlocked
As we're blurring the lines
It's been a long day/I'm in a bad way
Give it to me/I need to know you're mine

Steady hands
'Cause we've been there before
I want it all
Not wasting time so give me some more
I want it now/Stay and bury yourself in me

He said
Please just don't stop/Please don't stop
until I'm screaming your name
It's a head-spin
until were both insane again
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

He said
I just won't stop/I won't stop
'til you're screaming my name
It's a head-spin
until were both insane again
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

My body aches/my body shakes
I try to scream but nothing comes out

My body aches/my body shakes
I try to scream but nothing comes out

Melting into submission
I feel the sweat drip/it blurs my eyes

My body aches/my body shakes
I try to scream but nothing comes out

...He said
Please just don't stop/Please don't stop
until I'm screaming your name...
It's a head-spin...
until were both insane again!
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

He said
Please just don't stop/Please don't stop
until I'm screaming your name
It's a head-spin
until were both insane again
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

He said
I just won't stop
I won't stop screaming your name
It's a head-spin until were both insane!
(Don't stop 'til I'm screaming your name)

My body aches/my body shakes
I try to scream but nothing comes out


4. KOROVA

Seems like forever you've been feeding me these nightmares, Dearest Friend

Just to be the one that saves me when
I scream 'cause you're my only friend
Now I'm a hollow man

Run the night
past the dogs that snarl and bite
My cow, Korova, come with me

Guns are drawn
bright against the snow they shine
My cow, Korova, come with me

Woah oh, we can live forever
But if we die, we die together
Woah oh, run with me, run with me

Look me in the eyes/tell me:
who's your friend/who is your enemy
You have no friends among capitalists
You have no enemies among the workers

Friend? Now I'm your enemy
Simple hearted trusting man
Hold my hand/Now liberate me

Now it's clear/you were never human at all
My cow, Korova, come with me

My salvation/
brought with me to take the fall
My cow, Korova, come with me

Woah oh, we can live forever
But if we die, we die together
Woah oh, run with me, run with me

Woah oh, set it all on fire
If we burn, we burn together
Woah oh,
Run with me/Run with me/Run with me

I won't forget
the night you arrived swollen with fear
I had to have you
My Korova/Korova/My Korova

Run!!!

Run through the night/Run to the light
Run through the night/
Run like it's the last night of your life

If you really love me
Give me what I crave my dearest friend
You never really knew me as the real me
'til the bitter end

Woah oh, we can live forever
But if we die, we die together
Woah oh, run with me, run with me

Woah oh, set it all on fire
If we burn, we burn together
Woah oh,
Run with me/Run with me/Run with me!!


5. #IWOKEUPLIKETHIS

...hooah!!

Woke up/I woke up in a plastic bubble
Breathing/
the plastic air but you weren't there
to calm/calm my nerves
For the first time didn't even care
I got up walked around
these cold dark places on my own

All/All while tripping/while tripping
on my toe tag
Choking on my consciousness
'cause now I know I've died the most

All/All while tripping/while tripping
on my toe tag
Confusion came to check my pulse
'cause now they know I've died the most

Toe tag/Toe tag

Sign and date my toe tag
Stamp and tie my toe tag
Lace it up/toe tag
Bag me up/my toe tag

Woke up/
See bags of blood they're all my type
Breathe in/the putrid smell of my own skin
It rots off my bones
looking at the others rotting too
I got up/touched the ground
felt the cold concrete below my feet

All/All while tripping/while tripping
on my toe tag
Choking on my consciousness
'cause now I know I've died the most

Toe tag/Toe tag

Sign and date my toe tag
Stamp and tie my toe tag
Lace it up/toe tag
Bag me up/my toe tag

I never should have unzipped myself
I never should have
Gone through the trouble
I could've continued to see through
the eyes/the eyes/the eyes
of my body double

Yo!!!

I don't want to touch/feel/taste
I don't want to breathe in this waste
Let me rot in peace

Toe tag/Toe tag

Sign and date my toe tag
Stamp and tie my toe tag
Lace it up/toe tag
Bag me up/my toe tag

This should have been my end
Until we meet again/But I'm

All/All while tripping/while tripping
on my toe tag
Confusion came to check my pulse
'cause now they know I've died the most


6. THE HUNTSMAN

What big eyes/I know he's watching
What sharp teeth/I know he's hungry
I can taste him/smell him on my skin

He hunts me down! Down on my knees
He hunts me down! Now that
I bleed for him I'm trapped/Forsake me

He hunts me down! Down on my knees
He hunts me

What strong hands/It's how he binds me
What tight reign/His word controls me
He can chase but two can play this game

He hunts me down! Down on my knees
He hunts me down! Now that
I bleed for him I'm trapped/Forsake me

He hunts me down! Down on my knees
He hunts me/He hunts me/He hunts me

Go on and taste me
as he slowly walks away
As we slowly fade away/this is my game

Go on and chase me as we
run so far/far/far/This is my game now

He hunts me down! Down on my knees
He hunts me down! Now that
I bleed for him I'm trapped/Forsake me

He hunts me down! Down on my knees
He hunts me/He hunts me

8. OCEANA

This time I'm in deep
in the water/the murky water
it pulls me under/I feel it cover me
A whirlpool in my lungs/Now I feel at war
I get the sudden urge
and I'm gone/See you later

Deeper to the deepest
Always sinking eye to eye with
the fathers of the sea/We're fearless

Following the undertow
Sink to the lowest low/And now I know

I'm swimming/always swimming deeper
I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks
In a fight I can't win
but I always seem to start

Swimming/always swimming 'Cause the bait of a chase/it pulls me from the cage
I'm a beast for defeat so let it swallow me
Swimming/God damn swimming
deeper down

[solo]

Senses/Touch all my senses
With the lashing of the tide
Seducing all my pride/defenseless

Try to keep a grip on your rubbery skin But
I am no match/sink your jagged teeth in
It's never enough for me
never enough for me/Sharing my blood with the sea and I'm gone

Following the undertow
Sink to the lowest low/And now I know

I'm swimming/always swimming deeper
I'm swimming/always swimming deeper
Down!

Down we go
to the bottom of the undertow...
Down we go
I try so hard to follow the glow...

'Cause I always seem to find myself washed up with the tide
Strangled by the sea engulfing all my sight

Drowning always drowning deeper down...

The roar of the waves
pushes me back to shore
With my tail between my legs but
I'll come back for more

Drowning always drowning deeper down...

I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks

I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks

I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks

I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks

I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks
I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks
swimming with the sharks
swimming with the sharks

With the sharks/With the sharks

I'm swimming/always swimming deeper
I always seem to find myself
swimming with the sharks
In a fight I can't win
but I always seem to start

Swimming/always swimming 'Cause the bait of a chase/it pulls me from the cage
I'm a beast for defeat so let it swallow me
Swimming/God damn swimming
deeper down


9. LOOK WHAT WE'VE DONE

Woah oh oh

Oh, I can see what you see
It's all in front of me
I can only feel what you feel
It's deep inside of me

I can walk the way you walk
I can talk the way you talk
I've given every inch of me

How could I have been so lost?

We held so strong
As we built a path so wrong
We felt so in control as we were spiraling
Look what we've done

Bloody and damned
I can't wash this off my hands
We felt so beautiful as we were spiraling
Look what we've done

You can only breathe what I breathe
It's all I give of you
You can only hate what I hate
You're driven by my rule

You're not real
unless I give you a chance to truly live
Exhausting all your love and trust
How could I have been so lost?

We held so strong
As we built a path so wrong
We felt so in control as we were spiraling
Look what we've done

Bloody and damned
I can't wash this off my hands
We felt so beautiful as we were spiraling
Look what we've done

Oh oh oh

Who am I? Who am I?
Am I dead? Am I alive?
A skeleton with soulless eyes
Does this end with truth or lies

Will I remain this way?
Does this ever change?
Do I take the blame? Or simply run away?

How could I have been so lost?

We held so strong
As we built a path so wrong
We felt so in control as we were spiraling
Look what we've done

Bloody and damned
I can't wash this off my hands
We felt so beautiful as we were spiraling
Look what we've done

Woah oh oh (Woah oh oh)
Look what we've done


10. POMONA (SHIT HAPPENS)

Fuck fuck fuck fuck

Woke up in my car
Don't know where the fuck we are
What does that sing say?
Fucking Pomona?! Again?!

Let's shake it off/Let's get some coffee
A quad espresso/easy vanilla/extra ice
No cream/No fucking cream!

Oh shit! look at my best friend
it's happening again
The fucking car won't start
What do I even have a corvette for?
(I don't fucking know)

Call a cab all the way back to LA
My phone is dead/Fuck! So is mine
Fuck it. Let's walk. anyway...
(Good 'cause we all know
you need those extra steps)

What in the world happened last night?

We drank it all/We smoked it all
We danced it off 'til the boys went home
We lost the keys/We found the cops
Got summer jobs/At least I think so

Fuck/Fuck/Fuck
Fuck fuck fuck fuck

Fuck/Fuck/Fuck
Fuck fuck fuck fuck

Shit/Shit/Shit
Shit shit shit shit

Fuck/Fuck/Fuck
Fuck fuck fuck fuck

Please tell me you remember something

I upgraded my neuro-processor and
checked my penile gland
I got myself some ass implants and
even got a tan (It's Friday again)

Here comes that dipshit Jimmy
in his stupid fucking Jeep
"Hey bitches, what a ride?"
Not if we have to do what we did last time (I hate Monopoly)

Oh my god dude, you got a tattoo?
Wait dude, so did you?

What? What is it?/It says "Jimmy!"
What does mine say?/It says "Jimmy!"
No! Not Jimmy! No!

Fuck! Fuck! Not Jimmy! Fuck!

Why does this always happen to us?

We drank it all/We smoked it all
We danced it off 'til the boys went home
We lost the keys/We found the cops
Got summer jobs/At least I think so

Fuck/Fuck/Fuck... Fuck you Jimmy

Fuck/Fuck/Fuck... Fuck you Jimmy

Shit/Shit/Shit... Shit on Jimmy

Fuck/Fuck/Fuck... Fuck you Jimmy

[breakdown]

Pomona/Fucking Pomona
Always Pomona/Fucking Pomona

Can somebody tell me
what the fuck is going on?

Dude, fuck if I know


11. UNDERGROUND AND OVERRATED

Can't call my family/I don't have one
The sickest kid on earth
I'm the science project you've been hiding and I'm out to get revenge

You think that you kinda know me
Not the other way around 'cause
I've changed it from the four horsemen
To the boy who cries wolf

I can't live by the same rules as you
The message/The reason
There's no need to believe it Because
We'll all end up underground and overrated

[solo]

Preacher's got the bible-thumpers
circling me/I'm their drug filter human
I trained the parasites
to talk outta your mouth and
now you sing just like a bird

That is the thing about filthy cannibals they're all infected with disease
I was born to rule but you changed
the game to the boy who cries wolf

I can't live by the same rules as you
'Cause your bullshit restrictions
won't break me in two
No your bullshit restrictions
won't break me in two

I can't live by the same rules as you
The message/The reason
There's no need to believe it Because
We'll all end up underground and overrated

[breakdown] Go!

Circles in circles/The dot in the middle
You fucked with the balance this time

You can't get rid of me
You're surrounded on all sides

[solo]

You can't get rid of me
I'm even under your feet

You think that you kinda know me
Not the other way around 'cause
I've changed it from the four horsemen
To the boy who cries wolf

I can't live by the same rules as you
'Cause your bullshit restrictions
won't break me in two
No your bullshit restrictions
won't break me in two

I can't live by the same rules as you
The message/The reason
There's no need to believe it Because
We'll all end up underground and overrated

[outro breakdown]
