1. BEFORE THE FALL

(Instrumental)


2. BURN.

Calamity's a curtain pull away
Distance breeds apathy
Yesterday I saw a man
Drinking puddles out the trash
His fate today is ours tomorrow
Let's drink the sun
Dripped to the sea
Our ash soaked collective
So tangled in death's grip
With air this toxic
And our lips cracked
If despair's the answer
I regret I asked

It's not just one thing
It's the weight of it all
It's the long climb
Before the fall

A fling with the end of our days
In a whirlwind romance
With the edge of our grave
We'll sing 'til we're blue in the face
“We won't be the victims of our fathers' mistakes.”

Sat with the reaper
Atop smokestacks
Watching us burn old bones
To build gods in a rack
All that glitters
Dulled for gold
Corrosive
Narcotic
Crowned vermin
Despotic

It's not just one thing
(Death will blossom)
It's the weight of it all
(In atomic spring)
It's the long climb
Before the fall

A fling with the end of our days
In a whirlwind romance
With the edge of our grave
We'll sing 'til we're blue in the face
“We won't be the victims of our fathers' mistakes.”

As if it wasn't hot enough already
The light of a thousand suns
The tyranny of heat

If I was a god
I'd be a vengeful one
The thousand shards
Of my broken heart
Would tear through the atmosphere

A fling with the end of our days
(Don’t look back now)
In a whirlwind romance
(The party’s over)
With the edge of our grave
(Don’t look back now)
We'll sing 'til we're blue in the face
(Just burn one down)
“We won't be the victims of our fathers' mistakes.”


3. FKA KEVIN JONAS

I'm a ghost
In the walls of my home
Walking beside all of the
Shadows that keep
Dancing along
To the sound
Of my chattering bones
If I lie still, then I won't
Feel like I'm dying alone

I can't turn off my eyes
Information backlight
My house is full of strangers
My dreams are full of danger
I hear fighting in the walls
Every word heard breaks a bond
My bed is full of strangers
My dreams are full of danger

Specks of gold on my curtain are fine
At least I tell myself through the haze
Of my rose-tinted eyes
There's a static hum in my jaw
A cathode whisper on my teeth
I'm starting to gnaw
I dream of being a fool
Bloated, blue in the face
Hanged from the rafters of the love I misplaced
I'm just awake in the mirror
Again, and again
Tracing halos of light
With my shivering hands

I'm a ghost
In the walls of my home
Walking beside all of the
Shadows that keep
Dancing along
To the sound
Of my chattering bones
If I lie still, then I won't
Feel like I'm dying alone

I can't turn off my eyes
Information backlight
My house is full of strangers
My dreams are full of danger
I hear fighting in the walls
Every word heard breaks a bond
My bed is full of strangers
My dreams are full of danger

Oh my god
(I can't turn off my eyes)
Is this all I'm made for
(Information backlight)
The only time that I dream
(My house is full of strangers)
Is when I'm in danger
(My dreams are full of danger)

The devil's in the details
I have your dossier
Saint of the scene hole-y brain
Can't retain moral memory


4. CALLIOPE

Come one, come all
Step right up and witness man-made horrors
So utterly monstrous
You'll wonder how you ever passed them by
A diabolical plot to normalize cruelty
As twists of fate and make you glad they robbed you blind
Fuck the police, fuck landlords and fuck your presidents
And now for the main event

It's like a growing lie
A well-built house of paper sides
I'd like to make things right
And I'm out of options but at least I tried
I want off of this ride
I swear I'll fly if the rope's real tight

Money's overrated
I've placed the shackles at my feet
Cash is the conspiracy
Painted myself for your sympathy
Five finger's a discount
In love with my own disbelief
You messed with the wrong mall goth
You'll never get the best of me

Tough as a set of press-ons
Crybully mean girl bouillon
You better jump when I say
I've had enough go away
Lie through your teeth and
Pop pills through the weekend
You want to hurt people and get a pass
Bitch, get a grip
Touch grass

Money's overrated
I've placed the shackles at my feet
Cash is the conspiracy
Painted myself for sympathy
Five finger's a discount
In love with my own disbelief
You messed with the wrong mall goth
You'll never get the best of me

Are these muses or sirens that you listen to
Do they inspire you or make you complacent

Have you ever
Slept outside
Tattered blanket
Stolen pride
Caught in the maw
Of a rich man's lies
Their American dream
Is where we've all died
No rest for the weary
The wicked in flight
Begging to onlookers
Gazing in fright
Have you ever
Slept outside
Waiting for the chance
To live your life


5. GBU-31

I woke from a dream
It felt like a memory
A star fell to Earth
And left a scar to mark the birth
Of fire and iron, men who played God,
And killed for their kingdoms like a cancer never satisfied

Where is the line
When violence is like rain coming down from all sides
A flag can't be white if it's all soaked in blood
A 2000-pound shadow
From the Hammer of God

We said
"Never again, never again, never again"
So those bombs must be doves
Curse my lying eyes
"Never again, never again, never again"
A cry choked from my throat in the rubble

We are not the heroes

Feet rushing into evil deeds
Eyes of pride that rain down disdain
Lying tongues, the testament of
Deceivers who swear on their mothers
And sow dissent among brothers
And shed innocent blood to pump
Their wicked heart string quartet

We said
"Never again, never again, never again"
So those bombs must be doves
Curse my lying eyes
"Never again, never again, never again"
A cry choked from my throat in the rubble
"Never again, never again, never again"
I see Babylon wearing Zion-like sheepskin

Where is your god
That trades water for blood
(Look us in the fucking eyes)

We'll never shine
Like the stars that they dropped from the sky
We'll never glow
Like their cities engulfed in smoke
We aren't the heroes

7. LOOK BEYOND THIS DYING GARDEN OR ROT IN ENTROPY

Entropy inside of me
Crawling up my arteries
There's a voice from inside my head
Telling me that I'm better off dead
Or at least disappeared
Take me far away from here
Let me breathe

Your blood
Will stain the bomb's shell
We'll all have to look up
Just to see Hell
My heart is a bomb on a dead-man's switch
Let me go I'll blow to pieces
Dead eyes
Flicker along
Revolution is dancing
At the tip of my tongue
Our lips on a hair trigger since we met
Take my hand, we'll make it through this

Our waning sea
Gifted a blue sky
With grass greener than greed
As the court of snakes gather
And we march towards the ides
Let the curia shake
Let me the be first knife
Toss the head of the empire
To the base of its throne
If you loved me
Let it be at the darkest you've known
There's a gnashing of teeth
When the panic won't lull
For a gun at the back
Of an oligarch's skull

Your blood
Will stain the bomb's shell
We'll all have to look up
Just to see Hell
My heart is a bomb on a dead-man's switch
Let me go I'll blow to pieces
Dead eyes
Flicker along
Revolution is dancing
At the tip of my tongue
Our lips on a hair trigger since we met
Take my hand, we'll make it through this

Shout
"One if by land
Two when we seize
The future we're promised
Back from the powers
That be"
