Zero In

What is it about you that makes me feel so bad?
Is it the sudden compassion abundant in my mind
Slowly growing over in time?
Or is it every devout truth that makes the real seem bland
Is just another depiction of total conviction
Even in the face of a lie?
You're a survivor of trauma that I have caused
Now that it's over and over again it's gone
It's taken the place of your lovely face
And allowed me to resign in disgrace
Breathe into the scene
Zero in and let your body begin to fly
You know it's all around you all the time
So breathe into the scene
Zero in and let the party become your mind
You know it's all around you all the time
And i'll never get back to the place I was before
I'm ever so tired of always being the man
But all the benefits of it have led me to love it
Leaning on an evil design
All momentum is skyward, to fall is meeting demand
There's no discussion of weakness, I need to delete this
Bleeding's just one state of mind
It's easy to have fun when usually you're staying deprived
It was a dying decision to let you know that I am alive
It's taken the place of your never loving face
And allowed me to die in disgrace
I gotta breathe into the scene
Zero in and let your body begin to fly
You know it's all around you all the time
You gotta breathe into the scene
Zero in and let the party become your mind
You know it's all around you all the time
And I'll never get back to the place I was before
And now I'm holding on
To what is cold and gone away expired in time
It's far from any focal points
Connecting broken joints that once could bend my mind
All you can't unsee will only spread
It's always column B that you'd have instead
There's so much we weren't meant to feel
I only hope that we invent the real
I gotta breathe
And I'll never get back to the place I was before

You know it's painful to be dishonest and clean
Dreaming you're the passionate one
When all of my obsessions become so complete
It's taken over while I'm awake or asleep
Breathing out and holding my tongue
When all I wanna do is become whatever you need
But if you haven't ever gone through the world
With your eyes closed
How can you perceive what you never see?
There's no more illusions I've got to give
You haven't taken from me
I wanna see the moon every night
You'll love me one day but even one is enough
Two is just a little too much
Truth is just a hint of your touch when you lie in the sheets
And maybe you're already gone from my life
Another reason to die that I won't ever find
There's no more illusions I've got to see
Won't you please please please please take it from me?
I wanna see the moon every night
I'm estranged, ashamed to face the truth
Of how badly I pray that you are delusional too
Love in sickness, health in different dreams
The fantasy ends and clarity claims again in full catastrophe

What do I be? What do I be about?
How could I even try to tell you my name?
What do I be? What do I be about?
How could I even tell you I am just playin'?
What do I be? What do I be about?
How could I even try to tell you my name?
What do I be? What do I be about?
How could I even tell you I am just plain?

Be Big Enough To Compete
05:03

Struck down from the back, it's got you struggling to react
This ammunition
Struck down to your knees, it's got you struggling just to breathe
This ammunition
Struck down in your prime, it's got you struggling not to mind
This ammunition
Struck down by your friends, it's got you struggling, strugglin'
This ammunition
I bet you never speak again
Sweep me off my feet?
You ever seen another man?
You gotta make sure that you're big enough to compete
Living unoriginal dreams
That you've been fed by an idea machine
In isolation
Living as a woman or man
One or another way you're coming again
In isolation
Living lonely touching your toes
Never giving up how much you expose
In isolation
Living on anonymous death
A sickly cycle that you wanna refresh
Now did you lose all power when you lose all self control?
It's the one thing keeping you above any animal
And if you can't contain what you're feeling now
When you play the game you will get beat
You gotta make sure that you're big enough to compete
And after all that we've been through
You still keep following me around
You've got no mind to relate to
So it just takes more time to let you down
I dare you to kiss and tell
It'd only hurt my pride if I respect myself, I gotta
Excite the ignorant again
Somebody said that it is not so bad
Bacon pringles pretzels and cheese
You're never gonna fill the emptiness hole
Motherfuckers made of disease
Are only happy taking total control

Add But Don't Keep Track

We go together like we never might have seen it coming
And though we never try to ever drive we leave it running
And now that we have parted will we start to mend?
Or will my blood become a different continent?
We'd slowly kill ourselves before we'd ever hang each other
And only live to tell our happy dads and angry mothers
And now have we discarded all of our pretend?
Or will my blood become a different continent?
So when we play
When we play most any game
Well then the character of killer can excel
A little too well
As if I'd ever end up truly happy just being myself
I said c'mon Miranda
I haven't already made up my mind about you
And nothing fades when nothing has to change
I said c'mon Miranda
I haven't already made up my mind about you
And I'm afraid cause nothing stays the same
We hope these simple lives will civilize extreme emotion
In code we signify what's in disguise or in the open
And now have we outsmarted broken-hearted ends?
Or will my blood become a weapon to defend?
I said c'mon Miranda
I haven't already made up my mind about you
And nothing fades when nothing has to change
I said c'mon Miranda
I haven't already made up my mind about you
And I'm afraid cause nothing stays the same

You can't be controlled
I feel alive when I let you go
Waste my time on mortal men you've seen before
There's nothing wrong with tying down what doesn't wanna leave
Don't give in to 6 of 10 or 7 or more
I've accidentally lived the gimmick to it's very peak
But you can't be controlled, I feel alive when I let you go
You can't be controlled, I feel alive when I let you go
When I let you go I say
The war is over now you're only into entertainment
Princess please, precision needs placebo affairs
The semen stains don't seem insane to me
And right away the light of day shows that even you know you care
It don't take much to be enough, just to claim to be
But you can't be controlled, I feel alive when I let you go
You can't be controlled, I feel alive when I let you go
From the head to toe and I know
The war is over now you're only into entertainment
Oh, a cold premonition of what is true
Deep down inside I lied, I'm the same as you
Stay alive, as hopeless now as you ever been
There's nothing wrong with crying out because of honesty
And far away, it's hard to say what's coming in close again
So have some fun pretending cause it's all there's got to be
And I want to see
The war is over now you're only into entertainment

You couldn't keep us apart if you clawed and cried
I may not be always where you are but it's only time
You come incomplete like you're quartered and drawn
Yeah you keep on hoping hope is what you need
You won't know you're wrong til it's gone
And maybe you'll die if I'm all that keeps you alive
So you hold it in and twist all the way around
You can go as deep as you like
Thief in the night, reading you right, bleeding you dry
Meeting you eye to eye is deicide
Sometimes I think, when I'm staring at the wall
I'll never get enough of it
Now you're stepping single file through every single mile
But I know that you were never the one
And maybe you'll die if I'm all that keeps you alive
You come unbalanced, you get fun from malice
So please don't do what you can
Aren't you at the mercy of the little chemicals?
Aren't you at the mercy of division medical?
You come unbalanced like it's some fun talent
But nothing you do is according to plan
Aren't you at the mercy of madness again?

Blow It Off In Style

Could our lives get any better?
No they could not, well maybe maybe
Could our lives get any better?
No they could not, well maybe maybe
If you don't want to surrender keep it coming
Until tomorrow
No one parties for forever, get your fun in
The ghost has come to life
The other side is severed when you're near
It's never been more clear
That any god or man will slaughter animals for hunger
To feed the needy
Mom or dad with father radicals this summer
And leave graffiti
Could our lives get any better?
No they could not, well maybe maybe
We'll see tonight
In all this time it's never been your year
When it all goes soft you've got to blow it off
It's only pheromones that keep us together
Pheromones
You tell me lies, you tell me twice
Pheromones
What do you think I'll learn from it
When so many bad deeds go unpunished?
There's so many different ways to keep staying the same
Falling prey to the myth of progress
Mixing resolutions in with the conflicts
There's so many different ways

Once you can control desire
You're no longer alive
But at least your problems have died
Twice you can control all pain
You'll never want to be the same as you ever were
It's worth the trade long as it never hurts
So you make the bed, show 'em everything's fine
You make the bed, show 'em that everything's alright tonight
The blood has all been drained, but it's only self restraint
You know it must be so much fun to believe this charade
Once you can control desire
And finally retire to a life as plain as your own
You can romance the home you've grown to find
Your chance is blown and so's your mind
And it hurts to trade but it's worth the perks
There's nobody gifted who's not a little cursed
So you gotta make the bed, show 'em, everything's fine
Make the bed, show 'em everything's alright tonight
There's gonna be a little massacre
And nobody's gonna ask you first
Death is only coming after birth
Wait, do what you're taught to do
You know it's so hard, so hard, so hard
So hard to find the truth
Take it far enough to hate to discard the proof
