Extras

I’m just trying to introduce you to this idea that I’ve grown used to

I can’t trust the fall

Take my voice, I’m giving it though I don’t feel safe at all

So scared to take a knife to my chest, let you see the heart thats inside

I've been breathing air, but there's no sign of life

My heart feels cold as ice, but it's anybody's guess

Cold, cold, cold, cold inside

Darker in the day than the dead of night

Something don't feel right

Tell me how hard will I fall if I live a double life

My life before me like a flash in the night

Trying to recognize myself when I feel I've been replaced

So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave

I still feel alive

To realize the hand of life is reaching out

Lost in the in between, or so it seems, I'm out of control

The ruins of the day painted with a scar

Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away

The carvings on the face say they find it hard

And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise

The humor's not the same, coming from denial

I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange

The image of the dead, dead ends in my mind

And enough lefts don't make the right but two wrongs do

So, God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being

I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene

I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy

The underdog you cheer for

Judge me by what my cover shows, author becomes beyond reproach

We all do what we need to to get through

Have you ever died in a nightmare?

Run your diagnostic tests, it's posited nobody dies agnostic

If you were in my shoes (yes, it's only natural)

You'd walk the same damn miles I do

We're only tuning to the tone of the bell curve now

It doesn't take a killer to murder

It only takes a reason to kill

We've all got evidence of innocence, it's "everything's coincidence"

The difference twixt fate and free will

So if you wash your hands of where you've been until you flood the second floor

Neatly fold your skeletons, but still can't shut the closet door

The only ones in need of love are those who don't receive enough

If the shoe fits, would you walk that mile? (It's a small hell, after all)

You'd see I wear the same size as you

Show me how to lie

Another clever word

And as you step back into line

Now dance, fucker, dance

Man, he never had a chance

And no one even knew

It was really only you

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes

See the lightning in your eyes

Slowly out of line

So play it out, I'm wide-awake

Isn't it weird to be so mean?

I guess I'm human no more

I can tell I've rotted in your brain

'Cause no one listens to the dead

Mmm, mmm, through sharpened teeth

Well this ends bad, then

So we won't eat our words

'Cause they don't taste good

A thousand words are left unsaid

But we're both guilty of black or white thinking

I am a monster, a creature of despair

Who could ever hurt you?

Who could be so cold?

The culmination of man's mistakes

If there's something to be learned from all these losers

It's that the price that you pay

For arrogance and a false sense of immunity

Is to face the wrath of a dying star

If you wanna know the truth

Crawling back to my grave and

I'm certain that I'm gonna die this time

Two-faced bitches never lie

And therefore I never lie

A sickness by another name

But don't you worry I'm just being cool

With luck, it would at least, like, not suck

Did you ever feel alone, out of place

What did you do?

Light regrets that'll kill me in time

Distant faces burn holes in my chest

They still haunt you long after they're gone

Buried in the basement

Cold cement

Dead come talking

Can't put them to rest

Ghost at your door

Says he'll never leave

He used to be someone you loved

I've got a secret

It's bleeding through my eyes

It's part of my disguise

I never go to sleep but I try to be a dreamer

I never go to sleep

Look at how normal you are

My entire life is one big fucking inside joke

You'd better be 'cause I'm sure as hell not

I could have used a bit more sleep

As I hurry hurry out the door

But I'm the jerk who's late again

And they know well that I

Was up til 4 am

This should be easier I guess

All my friends and all the loose ends

Who am I? Am I still the same guy?

Or have I lost something as I keep stomping?

Mind and health, every bit of myself

I ignore the signs as I'm running out of time

A year goes by you wonder why not much is done

You've run too much in parallel

Now hurry hurry is your hell

And it ain't enough

Hurry through these crowded streets

I hurry my quiet time alone

I did my best, never relaxed

My body decomposes

I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words

Wish we could turn back time to the good old days

We're stressed out

But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered

Used to play pretend, give each other different names

We would build a rocket ship, and then we'd fly it far away

Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughin' at our face

I have seen the firewatcher's daughter

You can pass the time here, fire lives into the past

It'll take your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sins

It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die

Condemn their sons to Hades

We exorcise the demons of the things we used to know

There's a chilling absolution that we're given at our birth

A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth

But nothing scares me more

Than the stranger at my door

Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth

I got boulders on my shoulders

Collar bones begin to crack

There is very little left of me and it's never coming back

If you believe the lies I tell

There's no meaning to the words

But you're a killer and I'm your best friend

Think it's unfair, your situation

You say I'm changing

Can we talk about this later?

You're a flashlight in a dark room or the loneliest black out

You were all we had left after it all was filtered out

I'll turn you on when I need you, but the batteries ran out

Don't go in there

You'll become one

Freaky creatures

Monster party

Artful dodger

Easy does it

To see how bright the fire inside of us burns

But all good devils masquerade under the light

Should be stronger

Out for slaughter (bad guys)

Vanishes soon after bedtime for good (bet you've got a bone to pick with me)

Dance in darkness

Blow the nights off

A mask of my own face

I'd wear that

I'd wear that mask of my own face

I'd blame it on the person that nobody knows I am

At all the people hissing, knowing I'm the one they hate

And at the big finale I would tear my face away

Two went in and one came home

I was a boy and I was good

The skin and bones, and brains and blood

The nights are lovely, dark, and deep

You'll wake up with a sudden hurt

With mouth and nose all full of dirt

Yeah, I'm still buried in the mud

Skin and bones, and brains and blood

But no one is someone until I tell them who

This is the way that it is

Something you love turns to something you miss

Something you say turns to something you mean

This is the way that I know

I feel it inside me like a pulse

Digital violence, digital world

Digital start, digital end

Digital birth, digital death

This is the sound of the truth

There is nothing you can do

I could go off the deep end

I could kill all my best friends

But I've got an angry heart

And it's sad to know there's no honest way out

I'll outwear my welcome

I don't have any big, lasting plans

He's been haunting my dreams at night

I've been bleeding from tripping in the dark

Trying to find the right switch

But this time my holy ghost is hovering over me

And I am passed out on the floor
