Game Over 03:27
Fear not my children, it’s written in the stars They’ve read it in my palms, consult my tarot cards I've looked in crystal balls, the Ouija boards Nostradamus gave his promise to those of you and yours We have returned with sensory perception Of extraordinary divine intervention They’ve seen our ascension For centuries, they’ve sensed it It's senseless for skeptics to seek to go against it Spoken in hushed tones by Skulls and the Crossbones Secret societies; stories have foretold Ancient hieroglyphics scriptures The textures in fabrics woven in pictures, it's magic And wizardry mixed throughout history Prophesied on the lips by the most important of ministries Will anything like it ever be seen again? Not likely, we might be the Children of Men. (Chorus) In denial some will be Taking over our destiny Girl don't try now to tag along Spit you out when we've had enough The last of a breed that’s dying and dire in need Of a sign, we want to believe Revolution will come, solutions will come That we won’t succumb but they say we naïve But I’ve seen the future, our youth is the suture That holds us together when the world has been severed Stitches are needed, our people are bleeding Mom and dad can’t stop grieving, their oldest son leaving For war, what for? Who do you turn to? When the government’s burned you, you can’t take anymore Just slip on your headphones, play your guitar Let the music take over, it's led you this far Come on (Chorus)

Louder 02:56
Why hello there, you’re back again So glad you could join us, please fasten in Your seatbelts, strap those fat asses in I’m about to hit the gas again, go fast as sin This time second rounds on us But don’t sip slow, go ahead and pound the stuff Pound it loud, till you reach an unsafe sound Till the doors to your house are getting pounded down Shit's so loud, that you’re hearing windows break It's too much for your mind to take You can't hear yourself think Your eardrums are near numb This is the music they said to steer clear from Respectable decibel levels are suggestible But make like a festival and crank the shit Up, up on your speakers till you blow off your sneakers If the music comes calling, best answer it And turn it up (Chorus) Louder Turn it up loud Louder Turn it up loud Louder Turn it up loud Louder So many hertz it hurts Put the speakers to the ground till it shakes the earth But the bass to your face till it makes it burst Any place, outer space, so loud they can hear the verse Refreshing to your ear like you hear with a pack of certs Call my lawyer, get my case reversed Noise pollution? Tell the judge that I ain't moving Till its proven I'm a public nuisance I love my music, just listen to it, it’s the beautiful-est Thing that you ever heard Every noun, every single verb Every letter put together, every single word Every jock, every nerd, every cop, every perp Every mom and pop shop in the 'burbs Put a stop to your work Turn it up a notch, feel the surge of power Now turn it up louder Turn it up (Chorus)

See you standing there with your back against the wall You won't be alone tonight, just let me try to make you mine Look into my eyes and you will see the other side Holding on to what we feel can make it right every time Just for a second, I thought I was in heaven You without a partner, so I thought I’d step in We can do the foxtrot, cha-cha, tango If you want to waltz, we slide in a piano Anything you want girl, merengue, I can be your sensei Just go with your senses, you are my apprentice I can give you lessons, follow my directions Right pivot, turn, perfection (Chorus) Come and dance with me You girl, are all I need Feeling kind of somber, we can do the samba We can dirty dance it, we can watch La Bamba Anything you wanna, if you want to salsa I will be the leader but I can follow also We can get impulsive, I can feel your pulse it's Racing like a heart beat, it feels a bit explosive You on the ballroom floor, the bell of the ball You the center of attention of it all Like the writing on a bathroom stall, you can’t help but draw Those looks in, girl, I’m hooked in As soon as we shook hands, got things cooking Compliment each other like bookends, girl So why don’t you Step to my Lou Keep step with my moves There's no way we can mess up and lose Cause I'm dancing with the best girl, you're dancing with the best man We can do it much better than the rest can Let you take my mind like there's no one else around Lust can make the soul go blind, let the body do what it wants to I just want to taste all the essence of you girl If you let me come inside, I'll finally have made you mine (Bridge) Don't be shy no more boy Feet out on the floor boy Back up off the wall boy You're about to fall boy (Chorus)

Long ago only the strong could flow But those days are so long gone, you know It seems any Joe Blow can take a song he wrote And put it on youtube, that’s all she wrote Then shit blows up, you’re the next big thing And it just ain't over till the fat lady sings But her song's catchy and her song swings So now she’s more popular than you’ve ever been So it just goes to show that you ain't so special Unless you plan on taking this shit to the next level I ain't hear you sneeze so god aint bless you Your shit don’t stink but you still are an asshole Pour a little gasoline on the fire Watch the flames get higher like a funeral pyre Even Richard Pryor aint hot as us And he set himself on fire and that’s hot as fuck Blame the machines or go against them, rage (We won't fall down) Matt’s like Jimmy Hendrix, Page Jon Frusciante and I’m like Dante (We won't fall down) And this the Inferno the way we burn you Put you in the kettle like a kernel (We won't fall down) Eternal hell and watch you pop, pop Corny mother fuckers please stop, stop (We won't fall down) Don’t quit your day jobs, it's all that you got, got Competition in the fetal position Too hot for you? Get your ass out the kitchen What we’re cooking up's got so much nutrition Whipping up diction, filled with ambition Not an ounce of fat in my raps What you wanna drink? Let's see what's on tap Similes and metaphors behind the bars No carbs and no extra charge, let's go Kid, I heard you spit, maybe you should swallow Heard you talking shit, huh, baby needs a bottle Respect your role models, expect us full throttle We’re coming for the titles like American Idols Born to shine since the dawn of time Electric Shadow Puppets, baby, press rewind Press kit lined with impressive signs Of future success, yes, you root for the best When you root for us, come on and shoot for us (We won't fall down) Like you shoot for the stars, yeah, we raise the bar We doing something here that’s never done before (We won't fall down) The sound we making here was never heard at all We done set the standard, we up the ante (We won't fall down) We tickle your fancy and we wet your panties Tell your family, shout from the rooftops (We won't fall down) ESP is in your jukebox (Chorus/Outro) We won't fall down

Can you feel it now? I can feel it now It's that new energy, it makes you want to scream it loud It’s the sunny days, like the first of Spring It's been a cold winter, but you know what April brings Don’t think hateful things, think those good thoughts Keep your head up girl, I know it's hard, you feel lost But we’re there for you, and we care for you There’s still so many things your family wants to share with you I’m prepared to do, whatever it takes to make You feel life’s worth living, your branch is too strong to break You can’t leave yet, I’m not prepared to mourn You should outlive your parents, you’re their first born (Chorus) I know that you've felt crazy lately But take my hand, I'll bring you back home safely You got to know how happy you make me I love you greatly, we love you greatly Can you feel it now? It's that summer sun On the horizon, it's rising, it's coming up Can you feel the warmth? Let it calm your nerves You living proof that the angels can walk the earth Take your pain away, and the strain away Here’s some good vibes, I saved them for a rainy day I don’t need them anyway You need them more than me Cause you mean more to me, you're important to me You my sister, it’s that family love That understanding love, that undemanding love Don’t you dare leave now, I’m not prepared to mourn I know there's beauty in the life that comes after the storm (Chorus) (Bridge) Take my hand Understand Can you feel it now? I can feel it now Can you feel it now? I can feel it now Can you feel it now? I can feel it now Can you feel it now? I can feel it now (Chorus) Take my hand Understand

All I Know 04:04
(Intro) Within your eyes shows me what the world could be A trace of life overcomes the void in me All my life girl I’ve been searching For someone like you, someone perfect I don’t know if I can word it Any better than how you’ve heard it When I felt worthless, I found purpose With you cause you cared and nurtured Me with the hands of mother earth It's plain to see we only scratch the surface Don’t be nervous, this is special Let's move on up onto the next level Friends to friends with benefits, several Steps away and we can settle Down like a married couple does I'm on one knee and that’s because I want you and that’s forever Lets be each other's better half together (Chorus) And you could be all I know And we will see where this goes Just promise me that we can cope And I will try to not lose hope I don’t think this is working out Cause all we ever do is scream and shout We gave it time but time ran out And maybe in time but just not now I know deep down there's love for sure But it feels too much like a tug of war And you keep score and I keep score And sometimes you act like such a cheap whore But pop that bottle of pinot noir And we’re back in the sack like teenagers And suddenly we’re cuddling and in love again I forgot you’re a bitch with a drug addiction You forgot I’m a dick and you swore off men But just for a moment, here let's pretend That tomorrow's a day that may never come And that life together has just begun (Chorus) I think the future may Bring you right back around my way One day, someday, one decade You can call it fate, it was meant to be And when it does, there’ll be love Kisses, hugs, flirtatious rubs And when you see me, you can’t help but smile And seeing you smile will make it all worthwhile And try as you might, you can fight it But you get excited when I stand beside ya Through friendly skies we’ll fly united My beautiful blond-haired, blushing bride You can’t deny it, felt right, didn’t it? Just for a minute, you saw me in it Your future, it was you and me And a picket fence and a family (Chorus)

One Pill 03:58
This dark harsh world will leave deep scars girl That’s why when I go, I’m gonna take you with me Leave it all behind like fuck the city There are places we can go that are twice as pretty Past the city limits, close your eyes for a minute Anything you want girl, to your heart's content If you can dream it, you can will it, that’s what I’m saying To hell with it all unless it's heaven sent A penny for your thoughts, a nickel for some brain Your body and your soul for a dollar and change Let me take you away, far from this place Nothing like the touch of my warm embrace You can feel it like a train coursing through your veins Take this little pill, it takes away the pain These are harsh times girl, stay open-minded There's needles in the haystack, I know you can find them (Chorus) You and me, I can see (Wonders that will lead me on) Illusions that will come to be (One pill makes you larger) We believe fantasy Never mind reality (One pill makes you smaller) You and me, I can see (In the mind of other ones) Illusions that will come to be (One pill makes you stronger) We believe fantasy Never mind reality (One pill makes you stranger) Come a little closer girl, let's begin A little mescaline, go on, digest it in Feel the way your body copes with the mess it's in As the chemicals seep into your estrogen These hallucinogens, get used to them I'm your pusher man girl, I'm useful when You're feeling used and abused and useless and Your neck’s bruised black and blue from the noose it's in When push comes to shove, tell me who do you love? When the pusher man comes with a truck full of drugs And the lord up above ain't answering prayers And the stairway to heaven’s got too many stairs Take the escalator up, it’s a quick easy fix You got wizard sleeves girl, now turn some tricks Let me turn you on to this Take the tourniquet and twist It around your bicep, if you ain't high yet (Chorus) (Outro) Tonight we will see Worlds appear in poppy dreams You and I have made a pact Now there is no turning back

Oh no, here we go again Whatchu got there, Mr. Anderson? Is that a live grenade? Fuck, he pulled the pin Then he put it back in and pulled again It's hard to comprehend the state of mind he's in Cause inside that mind is the kind of kid Whose screws are loosening, he's plain losing it It could be all the psychedelic drugs that's doing it A ticking time bomb that could blow any minute The kid's nuttier than butter in a Reese's Peanut With pieces of feces in it He's done horrible, deplorable, incorrigible things, I've seen it Murderous urges, subliminal verses Played in every track backwards, satanic curses Still it worsens, when he's not working He's an entirely different person He's burning churches, killing nurses Lurking, stealing old ladies' purses Matthew, Matthew, stop, they'll catch you Attach and strap you to the electric chair and zap you He's drinking up the blood of the innocent Please open up your ears, you're not listening I've witnessed it, some of the sickest shit The name Damien changed at his christening (Chorus) We're going crazy baby, I wouldn't trust us baby (Even if you think you know who we are) Our mind is gone with the sunset (When the sun sets you will see that things aren't what they seem) Don't believe us baby, we'll just deceive you baby (Even if you think you know who we are) I hear your heart beat like a drum set Oh god, here we go again Whatchu got there, Mr. Davidson? An AK-47 and a crazy grin Everybody back away, stay away from him He might go ballistic, listed another statistic A mind so sick and twisted In jail, please pay him a visit Bake him a biscuit mixed with the following equipment A chainsaw, hacksaw, your sharpest knives So he can make his escape when he's locked inside The inner recesses of his mind get thinner all the time Sniffing paint thinner that he finds I'm a little bit concerned, from the little bit I've heard I've learned he's alotta bit disturbed Vehicular homicide, testicular sodomized Iodine mixed with a touch of cyanide Try and run and hide, he'll just bide his time Wet his appetite but he's not satisfied Attempted suicide, what a senseless crime It makes more sense to commit mass genocide Stick a fork in it, Dr. Kevorkian Your life shortening days are coming toward an end Matt, are you recording? I've got some shit to say and it's important (Bridge) When the sun sets When the sun sets (Chorus) (Outro) When the sun sets

Ghosts 02:38
All I see are ghosts, they tend to haunt me in my dreams Visit me from long ago, on quiet nights you hear me scream Nightly apparitions make me listen when I could be sleeping Last weekend they were speaking Keeping me from counting sheep and Getting forty winks, I think they’re trying to tell me something here Loud and clear, I can hear them whisper in my ear They appear like the Ghost of Christmas Past in my presence Teach me lessons so the essence of my future’s not unpleasant In these distant memories, I tend to see where I went wrong Game was tight and swagger right, I used to score like King of Kong Then you came along, you were strong, the one who got away And to this day, it just won’t fade Each night your ghost comes out to play And memories, who’s memories? I’m not at liberty to say Although it haunts me to this day, it's safe to say, I’m not afraid I’d drop your name but what’s to gain? Just more agony and pain So, back from whence you came, b-b-b-back against the grain I put you back inside my brain and in the past you shall remain My dark passenger's insane, he keeps on saying things have changed Let me explain, I used to dream at night of being rich and famous Now I’m nameless, not a penny to my name, I put the stainless Steal .45 caliber right against my head, I pull the trigger, now he’s dead That’s how I put these ghosts to bed That’s how I lift these heavy burdens Say goodbye to Tyler Durden It's curtains for these spirits They only haunt me in my lyrics When the ghosts come out at night Darkness rises from our fright Echoes flicker in the silence Chambers haunted by the violence All that you see, may never be

Swan Song 04:19
Some times I feel like fuck it all Give it all up to the luck of the draw I'm at the bottom of the barrel And that barrel's barreling Down the Rocky River to Niagara Falls So I should start over before I fall over A clean break, a clean slate, get clean and sober Clean cut and honest, clean out my closet Clean up my act like colon cleaned out, colonics All I've accomplished seems not to matter One rung up the ladder and I'm bruised and battered War torn and tattered, my dreams are all shattered I should pack up my shit and head north to Alaska Or west to Nebraska cause something feels wrong here Like I don't belong here, I've been here too long, yeah So this is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone This is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone (Chorus) When the world echoes away (I got my bags packed, I ain't never coming back, I ain't never coming back, I ain't never coming back) We fade out When the world echoes away (You might miss me while I'm gone, but I'm never coming home, I ain't never coming home, I ain't never coming home) Time is now Maybe I can find my calling in New Orleans A change of location just may solve all my problems New one's may arise but at least they'll be small ones Small town living man, I'm already falling In love with the idea, start a new life here A house on the hill, a brand new job and a wife, yeah I want it so bad, I feel so stuck where I'm at The forward progress I make, I take two giant steps back And then, I think of leaving, yeah, maybe this evening Just hop on a bus and buy a ticket to Cleveland A new name, a new number, I'll get a job chopping lumber A brand new state on the license plate on the back of my bumper Cause something feels wrong here, like I don't belong here The feeling is strong that I should be moving on, yeah So this is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone This is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone (Chorus)
