Neon Lights 04:01
lyrics
download
When my head is full, and my thoughts are cheap I like to walk downtown and absorb all of the sounds These neon lights and obnoxious signs They tell me of a better time. The sidewalk is rough- rough and disappointed All these unfamiliar words in my mouth I don't understand, I can barely feel it I used to know these streets so well And it was out back, you took my heart under attack Sold it for pennies, and you profited richly, well When I have nothing left, speak for yourself You can't resuscitate what always been dead. Carry me away, baby I forgot what it was to be captive Peel me open and then you'll see There's more of you and less of me You infect me You make me sick You're in my skull, you run around You own me, you have me. The one thing that gets deep under my skin Is having someone know exactly how to make me itch You see under me; I'm translucent Under the muscles and the blood, right to my intentions I can't fight you, I can't hurt you I can't control my reaction, you hold the trigger When I have nothing left, speak for yourself You can't resuscitate what always been dead Carry me away, baby I forgot what it was to be captive Peel me open and then you'll see There's more of you and less of me You infect me You make me sick You're in my skull, you run around You own me; you have me And these neon lights and obnoxious signs, they tell me of the coming times And these neon lights and obnoxious signs, they warn me of the ending times And these neon lights and obnoxious signs, they guide me through these dying times And these neon lights and obnoxious signs, Oh, they show me...

Infamy 05:05
lyrics
download
I'd rather be your enemy than be Nursing on your apathy The sounds, they drown and cover me Give up my right to peace for infamy Cause I know a kind heart doesn't impress You've shown me what it takes to please you A Judas tongue and Brutus hands With the fidelity of Marilyn Wrapped in skin You've abandoned me again And you with beady, greedy eyes half-closed You've got tunnel vision, act like no one knows Or cares to think that it's safe and sound From house-pet to hunting ground Feed, bleed, breed. Feed, bleed, breed. My lover, my Dante, told me a secret Says a tear doesn't count if no one hears it But a scream can make my relief appear It's getting cold in here, my dear. You won't even notice when I'm gone. You won't even notice when I'm gone. YOU WON'T EVEN NOTICE WHEN I'M GONE YOU WON'T EVEN NOTICE WHEN I'M GONE I'M GONE.

Monotone 04:07
lyrics
download
Snake only strikes when you set it free Oh, my love turned again on me Bit, coiled, launched, and hit the target As long as you were aiming to poison my heart He spoke in monotone Just to stop the measly drone, I said "I know you ain't tellin' the truth" My presence paralyzes the honest side to you Baby, as if there were an honest side to you Don't understand myself. I keep coming back for more He's got me by the throat He says, "Hit the floor" And I do hit the floor He can taste the bittersweet He knows he dissatisfies me Oh, look, he's made me a drone Now I sing monotone Yeah, I sing monotone Don't understand myself. I keep coming back for more He's got me by the throat He says, "Hit the floor" And I do hit the floor Don't understand myself. I keep coming back for more He's got me by the throat He says, "Hit the floor" And I do hit the floor

Zed 03:14
lyrics
download
Take one last drag and heave a sigh Pull it past your lips, let it die The smoke bleeds dry into the autumn chill An empty morning with time to kill I can't stay home, but can't sit still You don't care now; you never will And I'm left with so many questions What I am supposed to do? I'm such a coward when it comes to you I fear rejection, and I'm scared of truth I'm scared of the truth Will you throw me away? (This thrill's not so cheap) I'm your favorite relapse (Not something you keep) Like that cigarette ash (Dropped into the street) And I'm no one again by the end of the week.

Moving Day 05:34
lyrics
download
In case you haven't noticed I've grown Ripping up my roots for fields unknown My ear to the sky, I wave my goodbyes These bridges were meant to burned And I'll pack up my things Hand me a shovel for all the memories Knickknacks and unanswered questions-- What I thought had given me life Is suffocating me Letting go of what I had perceived To be necessary, would you believe? Don't look back When I leave home. Have some champagne for passing away Death of my childhood, moving day I've moved up in the world Or so they have told me But upward looks a lot like drowning Under all my questions, expectations Bewilderment, judgment And haven't I told you My worth doesn't rely on the weight of all these boxes And I'm watering down my blood To see who I never was. Don't look back When I leave home. I may not have the world, but I hold my own Sticking four walls into the earth doesn't make it home Can't turn back now when my eyes lust after the sun I appear too bright, and you ask me, what have I become? And, what have I done? When I leave home.
