She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face and a different name
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face and a different name
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
Let me paint you the picture, it’ll be just like a movie
Feel like the Princess your daddy always called ya
Here you come now unbeknownst, and let me take your coat
Provider of the spectacle you yearn for
And I can teach you to empathize, have you ‘pologize
Suddenly it’ll feel just like your duty
You’ll want me til your grave
I’ll return when I crave
Another taste another night
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face and a different name
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face in a different place
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
Can you feel that, control? You think you have it, but oh god no
(no no no)
No longer even a game, but you can’t help but play.
Come yearn for my desire
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face and a different name
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face in a different place
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
Play with you
I’ve got you owned, the roots are sown, I’ve got the confidence you’ll never know
(Woah, Woah)
Yea!
What I believe, you’ll start to see, even when its cracks its your reality
(Woah, Woah)
Ay!
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face and a different name
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face and a different name
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you
She, her, they’re all the same, got a different face in a different place
Let me play this song almost as well as I play you

Answers, like obituaries, carved in stone
Cancers, of the mind in body
Thought I would be different I just hadn’t grown
The skeletons to come and haunt me
Carved with sharpened time, by design
Let go and let the track play
Self inflicted wounds on scars anew
the flesh from the cliche
You and I find, we've got the same kind of heartbeat
Scars settled in, seems like we’re stuck on the repeat
Mother Father family stamped me
Genes got me in a death grip
Normal’s got me seething, teeth gritty
It’s wrong cause you’re different
Answers, like obituaries, carved in stone
Cancer of the mind in body
Thought I would be different, I just hadn’t grown
The skeletons to come to haunt me
You and I find, we've got the same kind of heartbeat
Scars settled in, seems like we’re stuck on the repeat
You and I find, we've got the same kind of heartbeat
Scars settled in, seems like we’re stuck on the repeat
We’re broken machines
We’re broken machines
Automations, with freedom
The door’s always been unlocked
Puppets of our lineage
Please dare me to drop
Can you risk the wound, hand in hand
The shepherd won’t hear us sing
And face the face of oblivion
With me your broken thing
We’re broken machines
You and I find, we've got the same kind of heartbeat
Scars settled in, seems like we’re stuck on the repeat
You and I find, we've got the same kind of heartbeat
Scars settled in, seems like we’re stuck on the repeat
We’re broken machines

The mind inside the mind’s not mine
Escaping another wave to find
Forces combine, realign
Erase the days, not yours their mine
Not crazy, God made me devine
But I’m hanging from a ceiling knot made of lifelines
Chemical chemicals tell I’m fine
Tell me I’m…
Someone, something burst my bubble
The mind inside the mind’s not mine
Conceded to find, that I’ll never really find
The time, the place that placed the days
Defaced the ways I can’t erase
The state, the pace, retraced,
Released just to satiate, no strength for another day,
Another night another fight
Blackened light, decide, to shine, for once please be bright
The carrier is just filled with noise
I hear my sibilance but it’s not my voice
I look around but no one hears a thing,
So unaware of this internal screams,
But no I keep it in
For I know the rules and societal sins
I will never be locked up again
If I stay within this, my own prison
The mind inside the mind’s not mine, escape the wave that stays
forces combine, realign, erase the days
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone but I wish that you could hear
These voices corrupt under stoic veneer
Normal me is not normalcy
White noise activated constantly
Internal monologue should never be
A full conversation with me and we
I can’t shut it out what lives within
This mental parasite but I am him
I used to think it was the demon condemned
But I am him, I am him, (we are him).
The mind inside the mind’s not mine, escape the wave that stays
forces combine, realign, erase the days
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone but I wish that you could hear
These voices corrupt under stoic veneer
Someone, something burst my bubble
Been trying to get back ever since
Chemicals will you please be kind
The mind inside the mind’s not mine
Conceded to find, that I’ll never really find
The time, the place that takes the k’s
The Sallie mae’s I’ll never pay
The wasted charities
He’ll never know or hear the narrate, that self-centered reprobate
Another night another fight
Blackened light, decide, to shine, for once please be bright
Someone, something burst my bubble

I’m just saying that, you could have been a better man
But you know you’re not
But still you hid the right and the left from I
So scared of fire, fall and fail
That you’ll never fly
So simple a question
To beg a confession
The song of the world’s got too many sounds?
To find the river
To finally forgive her
All response but no ability found
Optimizing
But it’s really disguising
The stress and the pain debt of new capital
Rationalize yeah,
Him and I yeah,
Now the world’s darker by our fault
I’m just saying that, you could have been a better man
But you know you’re not
But still you hid the right and the left from I
So scared of fire, fall and fail
That you’ll never fly
Eye is so blind
Expect where dangers to find
No, this isolation wasn’t part of the plan
So I keep it quiet
No, don’t criticize it
Who am I to think I know how to stand?
The cycle recursing
Tomorrows are circling
Our every world will stay the same
No chance of redemption
Nor evolution
Save I risk it all and wear the blame
I’m just saying that, you could have been a better man
But you know you’re not
But still you hid the right and the left from I
So scared of fire, fall and fail
That you’ll never fly
Never fly
Fly
I’m just saying that, you could have been a better man
But you know you’re not
But still you hid the right and the left from I
So scared of fire, fall and fail
That you’ll never fly
Never fly

Claim this my cowardice,
And I will, I will own it
Maybe Kant is speaking too loud in my ears
The feeling and your touch amiss,
Sweethearts and their gasoline
Love deep enough, I question it's anywhere near
When you're too close I lose myself
Surprised we didn't end it all before we got here
Yea!
When you're too close I lose myself
Now I'm left right here I gotta watch you from afar
I seen her in the audience, logic fails to resist
Daydreams of ivory skin and chandeliers
The torture of the reminisce, I said my play and I must go
Love deep enough, to fall to the shadows but I'm still here
When you're too close I lose myself
Surprised we didn't end it all before we got here
When you're too close I lose myself
Now I'm left right here I gotta watch you from afar
Who am I?
To tell you what you want now
To tell you what you want
Do we risk another heart
Who am I?
To tell you what you need
Is it worth the tragedy
Is it worth the tragedy
Would you cry for me?
When you're too close I lose myself
Surprised we didn't end it all before we got here
When you're too close I lose myself
Now I'm left right here I gotta watch you from afar

Let’s stripper’s car tonight
They’ll never know we’ll just take a drive
Life is tragic even on these nights
We’re barely holding on
Baby you and I
I lit the beacon and the purple light, leaks out into the street each night
Orange notes, still, hold your hand right,
For a moment can you leave our minds?
We risked it all just to stand alone, now that's the last thing I want to do
Will you carry me when I carry you,
To find the magic or are we doomed?
Let’s stripper’s car tonight
They’ll never know we’ll just take a drive
Life is tragic even on these nights
We’re barely holding on
Baby you and I
Let’s stripper’s car tonight
They’ll never know we’ll just take a drive
Life is tragic even on these nights
We’re barely holding on

We’re barely holding on
Baby you and I
Let’s stripper’s car tonight
They’ll never know we’ll just take a drive
Life is tragic even on these nights
We’re barely holding on

I have a story! Get comfy.
Ok, so we’re outside at night, and there’s really bright light in the distance. Kinda like a construction light or like a single headlight. But it’s really bright. But other than that it’s totally dark. There’s no sounds. There’s nobody around. It’s just us. And we’re standing on, it’s sorta red rock, clay kinda stuff. Like it’s gritty and dusty. But there's no plants or anything. And we’re just standing there looking up at the sky. And you reach over and put your arms around me. You're not saying anything. And I don't know where this place is or how we got here, but we’re looking up at the sky. And then suddenly we see all these planets like 3 or 4. One is kind of metallic gold with some white on it, and one is purple, and I don’t really remember the others but they’re so big. They’re more than twice the size of a full moon. I can see them moving towards us. Towards the earth. And my heart starts beating really fast. And I look over to you and you’re not saying anything but you hold me a little closer and you lean back. We’re looking up at the sky and it’s just folding in on us. It’s folding and getting closer and closer. It’s warping its shape. I see the black night, the star dots, and these gigantic colored planets. I turned my face into your chest and I held you tight as the sky came down around us.

Tear away the bygone
This the new religion
The crave of confidence
If you bring a torch we'll burn down olympus
Assembled again,
Even as their pantheon crumbles with age
Faith wearing thin,
These blind relics unwelcome in the new age
Be gone or taste the new flame
Tear away the bygone
This the new religion
The crave of confidence
If you bring a torch we'll burn down olympus
The last sands fallen,
Time to expunge the last remnants of stain
What our leaders began,
their truth will lead as our pillar of flame
Olympus will burn for their name
Tear away the bygone
This the new religion
The crave of confidence
If you bring a torch we'll burn down olympus
Yaweh’s bride divorced
Bow to our leader’s voice
Dogma of apostate
A new pantheon
Behold the godless age
{Flames!}
Threshing
Release the confidence in the rain
The same thirst for trust
Unquestioned
All our leaders, our true advocates
Gnashing
Purify with fire
Traditions of fools, steeples, ancient choirs
I need the confidence,
unquestioned confidence
Please give me confidence
Grab a torch come follow us
Say they’re not like us
Tear away the bygone
This the new religion
The crave of confidence
If you bring a torch we'll burn down olympus
Yaweh’s bride divorced
Bow to our leader’s voice
Dogma of apostate
A new pantheon
Behold the godless age

Dissipated, emasculated
Not knowing what a man is, got me jaded
Now quiet, but no not sated
Cast out by the world we created
Degredate the fuel, strip the foundation
You’ve cut away the hand, along with the poison
Demonize, and despise it all away
In the dark ablaze I’ll stand,
And be the fire, burning bright
Wear the weight upon my own
When there’s no one else, here in the dark
There will come a day when a hero needs to die for you
I’ll battle and bleed alone, so you’ll never need to
Assimilated, Emasculated
Castrati saturated, aggravated
Blood, sweat, and the life is paid in
The picks, swords, and bullets we were bathed in
Naive and blind in prosperity
We paid the price and we built the feast
Demonize and despise our guardians
In the dark ablaze I’ll stand,
And be the fire, burning bright
Wear the weight upon my own
When there’s no one else, here in the dark
There will come a day when a hero needs to die for you
I’ll battle and bleed alone, so you’ll never need to
And be the fire, burning bright
Wear the weight upon my own
When there’s no one else, here in the dark
There will come a day when a hero needs to die for you
I’ll battle and bleed alone, so you’ll never need to

Pull me current
No ballast, I have no way
Too scared to lead or follow,
I'm potential decayed
Here I fall.
Can you see me fall?
Warming, the gun metal upon my lips
Truth, meaning, use, and purpose
What did I miss?
What am I alive for?
What do I have to die for?
Here I fall
No purpose to fight and lose or risk anything.
What's my use to this world
without you?
What am I alive for?
There's a reaping soon, they got god too
When we made nothing matter, that's all it took
There's a reaping soon, they got god too
There's a reaping soon, they got god too
There's a reaping soon, we got god too
There's a reaping soon, we got god too
Watch me fall
