1. THE HOLLOW

All-Mother, are you awake?
I am always awake, what do you require of me?
You'll stay with me, won't you?
I'll be there every step of the way...


2. KEY ENTITY EXTRACTION I: DOMINO THE DESTITUTE

La la la, la la la la [x4]

If you had the courage to stop me from turning
Into what would be the worst in everybody's eyes
Hey, I'm no angel, or the devil of your conscience
To tell you who to be. Good, bad, ugly or otherwise
If you had good common sense, your choices would be gleaming flawless
I want no part in this self-deprecating,
Worthless, chemistry

We made our beds to lie in them proud,
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade, turn about-face

I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war

Oh, you think they have it all while you were left with nothing
Oh, oh, you've taken the fall for them to walk all over
You made your bed, so soft and comforting
These dreams await the grey good morning

We made our beds to lie in them proud, proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade, turn about-face

I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war

Oh, we've got you by the throat
Oh!
All you wanna be...

Welcome all to the everlasting all time low
Please put your hands together
For the ever-failing one man show:
Domino!

Ladies
And broken gentlemen,
The undisputed champ
Of misery

Oh and in this corner
We find his challenger
The pride of utopia
The greatest thing ever

Oh, oh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh
Ha ha haha hahahaha
(x2)

If you could recall one moment
Of your past that defined you to be
That made you the man we've come to love, all of the above

This disaster binds us absolute
A thousand lies
You tell yourself
That no one ever loved you right
Ooh, but I would do anything for you
The question fits the question mark
Your signals crossed, your message lost!
Haha!

La la la, la la la la! (x4)

This wall won't hold forever
Your time has come, it's now or never

We made our beds to lie in them proud,
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade, turn about-face

I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause' this is our war

One by one, we are together, we fall together!
One by one, we are together, we fall together!

Now my brother
Don't be afraid
We are together, we are together!

Brother!
We are together! We fall together!


3. THE AFTERMAN

She gave her heart to a falling star
When news filtered through
Of his tragedy all the walls went up
Around a world she declines
As the tears from her eyes fall
No one understands, and no one will
All she has lost

If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here then where?
If he's not here then where?

When she found it there in the cold, blue glare
The words distressed and unfamiliar
Where the feelings seared

An emptiness had hung, and in her chest, she clenched
Reality settled as the memories raced
While on the screen he lived

She teared;
"Your selfishness has robbed you of the man you could've been
I wouldn't change a thing about you.
I love you dearly, my friend"

If he's not here then where?
If he's not here then where?

My love, Been searching for my Afterman

If he's not here then where?
If he's not here then where?

My love, Been searching for my Afterman


4. MOTHERS OF MEN

In this space where nothing will seem too right
Our voice unheard in this quiet fight
This march we lead will breed our song
To them we're nothing, to them we're pawns
Oh, a desperate play to feel like we belong

Now as we take up into these streets
Remember, I depend on you as much as you on me
Don't try to fake it, let's not pretend
We made you mothers, we made you men
We made you mothers, we made you men

Oh, it's no surprise nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
Oh, we'll behave, oh, we'll behave
So just keep running,
Everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree, cause' what's the difference?
Oh, is there a difference we make?

Your day will come

The rain starts dancing across our backs
These ardent words seize this heart attack
Belief still strong, we can make this change
The stage is set to occupy the brain
The stage is, we made this, we made this, WE MADE IT

Oh, it's no surprise nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
Oh, we'll behave, oh, we'll behave
So just keep running, everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree, cause' what's the difference?
Oh, is there a difference we make?

Between the dapper villain in a Sunday serial at the podium,
Or another cog in the wheel, just another cog in the wheel
They're both capable of making life hard,
But no bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I give?

Between, between, between
Between, between, between
Between the dream, the dream

Oh, it's no surprise nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
Oh, we'll behave, oh, we'll behave
So just keep running, everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree, cause' what's the difference?
Oh, what's the difference?

Of making life hard,
But no bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I live with this?
No difference...

Goodnight...


5. GOODNIGHT, FAIR LADY

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you, of one's slow decline
When a girl yanked on the strings to break this man's heart

Oh lord I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So I'll just keep humming this song and hope you follow

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, I know you will

You're lipstick crazy, I'll make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with a kindness and my smarts I replaced your pleasure
With a friend at the bottom

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, it's my fate to be your biggest mistake
Oh, I tell you all you want to hear until you sleep
I know you will

Oh, goodnight
Oh, goodnight, fair lady

Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
And eventually you'll come to me

Oh, we can agree to disagree
Well maybe that was you, then, and now this is me
Eventually you'll come to me, baby
I know you will

6. KEY ENTITY EXTRACTION II: HOLLYWOOD THE CRACKED

Pick a number, wait in line
There's no medicine to fix that mind

Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Watch out here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun

Message panicked, naked waste
There's no help to give this one to keep her sane

Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Watch out here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun

Look out boy!

Shes a few cards short of a full deck, a joker in the game
Oh, shes got a bullet with your name on it
No doubt shes a mental case

Better keep that girl away!

Oh, Poor Holly Wood
She is cracked goods
Poor Holly Wood

This may be the last time I say
This may be the last time I say

Oh, poor Holly Wood
She is cracked goods
Poor Holly Wood

Oh, she's cracked, she's cracked
And where she's gone, there's no coming back
Ah, watch her finger, she's gonna pull the trigger
Then the party's over

Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Watch out here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun


7. KEY ENTITY EXTRACTION III: VIC THE BUTCHER

You made this harder than it had to be
The absolute martyr, etching into me
You flashed your colors at me way prematurely
And now I know what you're up to, and it feels so good
It's right

We've got your number written
Reset the system screaming
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

These sitting ducks in season
The march of little children
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

The truth will cut you down to pieces
One-eighty-four, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think about us

I listened to them chuckle as they eat
Their judgment hiding behind eyes and dirty teeth
You think I care for all these phony pleasantries
When I want nothing to do with,
I want nothing to do with your life

We've got your number written
Reset the system screaming
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

These sitting ducks in season
The march of little children
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

The truth will cut you down to pieces
One-eighty-four, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think about us

Bye, bye, bye

Baby I'm bad company,
And you don't have a mark
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Come with me, I want to make you dirty

This will cut you down to pieces
One-eighty-four, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think

Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now...

8. KEY ENTITY EXTRACTION IV: EVAGRIA THE FAITHFUL

This sinking warmth through obscurity,
Beyond the sweet in between where and what you're doing,
There is a view of an uncharted place,
Where you're the brunt of a joke and everyone's laughing,
I am not who I seem, who you thought I could be,
The support you could lean up against when you need,
I'm the dark when you want, the lights out at all costs,
This is mine, that is yours, I'm the bricks in your wall.

Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.
Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.

A yearning loss to silence me,
The struggle breaks the black and white, calling, transmitting,
The echo breaks, electric air,
Her pulse it stretches from never to everywhere.

And from the other side she'll save me,
Her courage, strength and heart beyond,
I wish she'd stay mine
But her place is in some other time.

Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.

Body separating, ascend and release,
This tragedy is all my fault,
Reaching, desperately to salvage any piece,
This tragedy is all my fault.

This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away

And from the other side she'll save me,
Her courage, strength and heart beyond,
I wish she'd stay mine
But her place is in some other time.

Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.

Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)


9. SUBTRACTION

The hurt across your face, your word against mine,
The rhythm you repeat, the beat a hair behind,
Were you on my side?

You gave your all, but you gave it once,
A lesson that you thought,
You could teach it when you want,
Subtract me from your heart,
Little take away girl.

One step at a time,
You made us angry,
All your love could hide,
But we knew you were afraid.

We accept, we unaccept, we made up, we're breaking up,
You've thought you had enough, but maybe you didn't know,
That this stage holds a show.

One step at a time,
You showed us angry,
All your love could hide,
But we knew you were afraid.

Misery, I digress,
No recourse, no remorse,
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back.
Misery, I digress,
No recourse, no remorse,
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back.
