1. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS COUNTING ON ME, AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT

Running away from this Earth
May it pass away
In the beautiful flames
That it was created for
Because when
When tomorrow fails to come
Today's just not the same
Inflamed Earth

Inflamed Earth
Inflamed Earth
Inflamed Earth
Inflamed Earth

Roses
Roses
Roses
Roses

Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care, for all I care, for all I care)

For all I care
Set this world, all ablaze
For all I care
Set this world, I'll set it all ablaze


2. FACE : FACE

Leech with two daughters
Give, give, they cry
Her name is
A liar
I refuse
I refuse a liar

A kiss from her is one of the grave
Of the grave

Bullets by her mouthful
An enemy at your six
Bullets by her mouthful
An enemy at the six

She simply will not die
She simply will not die
She simply will not die
She simply will not die (She won't die)

She simply will not die
She simply will not die
She simply will not die
She will not die
She won't die
She won't die
She won't die
She will not die

Leech with two daughters
Give, give, they cry
Her name is
She is a liar
I refuse a lie
Refuse, refuse


3. MEMPHIS WILL BE LAID TO WASTE

Waltz around the room
With a glaze in your stare
In your tuxedo suit
I'll give it a name
Lower defenses
I'll lower the casket
Open the door
Open the grave

Murder, murder
Murder, murder

Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Doing the waltz with your murderer
Doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
Doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer

Waltz around the room
With a glaze in your stare
Tuxedo suit
Give it a name
Lower defenses
Lower the casket
Open the door
Open the grave

Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer

You find yourself helpless, oh
Christ is not a fashion
Fleeting away

Fashion, fashion, fashion

He laid emeralds in her eyes
Oh, but I'd already tied
A bracelet made of gold
And scarlet thread around her wrist
And everything was wrong
So we sang sentimental songs
Oh, how seldom we belong
But how elegant our kiss
And we painted crooked lines
But we danced in perfect time
To a love so much refined
We know not what it is
So like the dullen wine
We pour into a grief we'd known before
But never quite like this
Never quite like this
All I know now is regret
She follows like a silhouette
On the cobblestone behind me
She has nothing left to say
Except to innocently ask
Her voice delicate as glass
"Do you see me when we pass?"
But I
I continue on my way


4. CREATING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING, ONLY TO DESTROY IT

Your eyes, your concrete eyes

Cross, crisscross my path
They walk, walking in circular patterns,
Shoe shine your ammo, your metal
Shoe shine, polish your gun
I need not your wicked weapons

My war is not with someone like you
My war is not with someone like you

String of blood
That is not my own
Strings between
A sword and my heart
So much so
That it makes its way through
My throat
Giving me thought to speak

My pistol
My dagger
This becomes your future
Unseen war
String of blood
That is not my own
Strings between a sword
And my heart
It's so much so
That it makes its way through my throat
Giving me thought to speak
This becomes my pistol
This becomes my dagger
This becomes your future
Unseen war

Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)
Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)

Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)
Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)

Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight

Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight


5. PRETTY SOON, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, BUT SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN

Time can kill the greatest of men
Even the greatest find themselves on the floor
It doesn't have to be this way
It does not have to be like this right now

Time can kill the greatest of men
Even the greatest find themselves on the floor
On the floor
On the floor

Time keeps moving
On and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on

Fragile time cannot waste away
Fragile time cannot lay to rest
Fragile time can lead you to the grave
Fragile time starts eternity

Fragile time cannot waste away
Fragile time cannot lay to rest
Fragile time can lead you to the grave
Fragile time can

It kills their walk
I watch them wash away
Kills their walk
I watch them wash away
It kills their walk
I watch them wash away
It kills their walk
I watch them wash away

It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on

And on and on…


6. THE SHOTGUN MESSAGE

Staring at the world through a hole you put in my hand
That was caused by a blade
You gently inserted
I did this for you
I did this for you
Not for your religion
Not for your patterns
I did this for you
I did this for a man like you
Stop searching and find me
Stop searching and find me
I am stabbed by grace and slinging blood
I'm slinging blood
I'm slinging blood


7. SOMETIMES IT'S OUR MISTAKES THAT MAKE FOR THE GREATEST IDEAS

It feels so good to my skin
One more mile and it's sinking in
I've tried to make mine a tree
And not have so much of me

God has stolen my heart
So I'll write it down, I'll write it down
My God has stolen all my heart
I'll write it down, I'll write it down

And I'll consume myself
With invisible things
Escape

Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations
Congratulations

This is my escape
A pen and book
And if the world can see what I got
Well then lets all have a look
'Cause this is my escape
A pen and one book
And if the world can see what I got
Well then lets all have a good look

A fortunate one
A fortunate one
A fortunate one
A fortunate one
A fortunate one
A fortunate one
A fortunate one
A fortunate one


8. I USED TO HATE CELL PHONES BUT NOW I HATE CAR ACCIDENTS

Run far away from what you have created

You have created this drama
You created this drama

You're dancing around the truth
My God rain down: Roses
My God rain down: Fire

War, war, war
War, war, war

With these diamonds you cut your throat
With these diamonds you cut your throat
With these diamonds you cut your throat
With these diamonds cut your throat
With these diamonds your throat
With these diamonds cut your throat
With these diamonds your throat

Code red
Cut throat victim
Code red
Cut throat victim
Code red

The outside looks so good
The outside looks so good

It's so simple
It's so simple
It's so simple
And yet they don't
It's so simple, yet they don't find
It's so simple, yet they don't mind
It's so simple, yet they don't find
It's so simple, yet they don't mind

The tragedy is the ignorance
Behind the casket
On the outside they look
Look so good
On the outside they look
Look so good

War, war, war, war
War, war, war, war
War, war, war, war
War, war, war, war

Walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket
They're walking to Wall Street in a straight jacket


9. IT WAS AS IF THE DEAD MAN STOOD UPON THE AIR

Rewind the cycle, endless cycle
My regret is the world I created
My regret, the kiss that sealed my fate
Rewind, rewind it all again
Rewind the silver that was my price
I think I will take a walk
And, and rest my soul

A cylindrical neck resting in
The arms of a circular rope

Rewind this cycle, endless cycle
Rewind, rewind
Rewind this cycle, endless cycle
Rewind
Rewind this cycle, endless cycle
Rewind, rewind
Rewind this cycle, endless cycle
Rewind


10. THE HUMAN FACE, DIVINE

It's all done wrong, or so it appears
It's all done right, eternal eyes
I'm pressing on, no matter how it looks
I'm pressing on, no matter how it looks

It's all planned out
Understatement

Lay your hands on your mouth, negativity
I don't want to hear it, your cursed tongue

It's all planned out
Understatement

This is greater than you (This is greater than you)
This is greater than me

Flawless
Flawless
Flawless
Flawless (Flawless)
Flawless (Flawless)
Flawless (Flawless)
Flawless (Flawless)

Increase time
And it's all falling into place

I don't care about surroundings
I don't care about the way it looks
I don't care about wicked words
I don't care about desire
I don't care if it's a waste of time
I don't care 'cause it's a waste of my time

It's all planned out
Understatement
It's all planned out
Understatement

Don't sell out, don't sell out
Don't sell out, don't sell out

It all comes to these words
A battlefield inside my mind
Shall I take her or leave her?
I will set my sights North

I cry so loud

I will not curse with doubt
I will not lie in ruin
I will not be cursed by doubt
I will not lie in ruin

I will not feed it doubt
I will not feed it doubt
I will not feed it doubt
I won't be cursed by doubt

Or a concubine wife
