Lizard Teeth 03:21
The wind is picking up I hear it through the walls With every cracking sound The fire’s dying down There’s knocks on the window pane There’s knocks on the ceiling, babe But there’s no knock at my door  Cup of water by my bed There's ripples on the surface With every shake of ground The big ones coming now  I'm scared of witch and wizardry And terrible king lizard teeth But mostly I'm just scared of being alone Of being alone Of being alone I'll be a clone I'll be a drone Just don't leave me alone Just don't leave me alone Just don't leave me alone I only ever hoped to be wanted I never asked to be on the road and hunted Even in my bed at night I am haunted My enemies are winning and they flaunt it Can’t you see how I’m exhausted?

Paradox 04:12
Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love I knew the truth, I knew it from the start I tossed it out, I’d rather take the lie I put this world in a little cardboard box I knew it all, i was a sly fox Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love I don’t know why I’d rather go insane But i’m not the only one, and that’s the crazy thing Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love You are the truth, the truth is you You are the truth, the truth is you Your life is death, your death is life You bind me up to set me free You are the truth, the truth is you Pin me to the wall because nails can’t hold me here like love

Another week spent up all night Another long walk in the moonlight Air chills my lungs and fills my nose When will this tortured chapter finally close? My son went missing in the night Without a sound and without a fight I should shout your name till I’m hoarse Panic every second growing worse I should shout your name till I'm hoarse Panic every second growing worse But I slept soundly through that night Only waking long after light That’s when I found your runaway note Barometers going crazy in my throat Seasons end but not the night There’s no comfort in the sunlight Search party's fading with the snow One by one they whisper “let him go” Search party's fading with the snow One by one they whisper “let him go” When you return Don’t apologize and don’t explain Don’t apologize and don’t explain

Is it my fault I burned my house down? Is it my fault they threw the bricks out? I’m not antisocial, I just need distance But there’s no existence without assistance Why this resistance? I just need acceptance Is it my fault I burned my house down? Is it my fault they threw the bricks out? Can I turn a page and just change dimensions? Is my Rubik's cube your solar system? I’ll put down the puzzle, come to my senses I watched you, oh I watched you Tear down your house  Bit by bit Is it my fault you built a house of straw? Is it my fault you blind yourself to flaws? I turn a page and just change dimensions My Rubik's cube is your solar system My Rubik's cube is the solar system You and me, just you and me We’ll build a new house Brick by brick

When they launched the second rocket From the RPG, man you should have seen The look that seized upon the pilot’s face He had seen it all. Was this the last he’d see? If war is just a game why can’t i learn the rules and play to win? If fame is just a math equation what is the X factor here? Soon the helicopter we were in Was all but smithereens and we were floating In a most peculiar way Toward a sea of sand. Someone hold my hand If war is just a game why can’t I learn the rules and play to win? If fame is just a math equation what is the X factor here? If we are just the tamest of the apes, then who decides the rules? Give me a typewriter and watch me write a bunch of senselessness These rockets blow our minds Like poppies of death in the sky The helicopter crash was only one One of many in the city One of many but the only one That took my brother and my mother If you find the empty rocket shell Gleaming in the sun, won't you pick it up Hang it out your bedroom window Plant some poppies there. We’ll see how they fare  If war is just a game why can’t I learn the rules and play to win? If fame is just a math equation what is the X factor here? If we are just the tamest of the apes, then who decides the rules? Give me a typewriter and watch me write a bunch of senselessness

You can take our lives Just don’t take our guns Don’t take my parking space I’d rather lose the islands in a flood It's the same old rotten apple It's the same old crap I don't need you spewing gossip I don't need you breathing in my ear I don't need you providing pictures I don't need you providing wars It's the same old rotten apple It's the same old crap We’re just pissed off teens In our ripped up jeans I don’t need your probing fingers I don’t need your probing looks I don't need you burning people I don't need you burning books  It's the same old rotten apple It's the same old crap We’re just pissed off teens In our ripped up jeans Is the world so very different? Will the propaganda ever change? It’s wrapped in such a shiny package But opened up it’s the same old It's the same old rotten apple It's the same old crap It's the same old rotten apple It's the same old crap You can take our lives Just don’t take our guns Don’t take my parking space I’d rather lose the islands–– shut your mouth

After All 03:49
I will not stop waiting for you I will not stop waiting for you to come through I will not stop waiting for you I will not stop begging for you to come through You’re gonna see this through You’re gonna. How could you not see this through? You’re gonna see this through You’re gonna. How could you not see this through? After all this time It’s not enough to be beautiful Beautiful alone is pitiful Don’t want no truth without love, Don’t want no love without teeth.

Won’t you make up my mind? Don’t you take your sweet time Won’t you make up my mind? Don’t you take your sweet time The sky bends down To tuck the sun into bed What is there left to write When you’ve nothing to say and everything to learn? What is there left to ask When nothing did you lack and nothing did you earn? The sky bends down To tuck the sun into bed The moon stands up again And rolls up her sleeves
