(Look out! Look out!)
(The reality police)
“OPEN THE FUCK UP!!!“
Well I’ve got some friends of mine
My demons that lurch inside
And they’ve got a party tonight
A private invite
Reality is on the run
Chasing after me and I think she’s gotta gun
And I gotta get away
Gotta get away from 'er
Gotta look away
Gotta find a way out of here
Faster, faster
Here she comes
She’ll never catch me alive
She’ll never catch me alive...
'Cuz my party don't stop
'Til my heartbeat stop
Well I’ve made some enemies in time
The feelings I bottle inside
Crashing my parties at night
When they’re not invited
I think reality’s on their side
But I got friends
They know how to put up a fight
And I gotta get away
Gotta get away from it
Gotta be a way
Gotta find a way out of here
Closer, closer
Closing in…
They'll never catch me alive
They’ll never catch me alive…
'Cuz my party don't stop
'Til my heartbeat stop
Look in my eyes
There’s nobody inside
And if I die tonight
At least I can say I died on top of my cloud
With my heart turned inside out
‘Cuz the party isn’t over
When the real party’s over
‘Cuz the party don’t stop
‘TIl my heartbeat stop
So I’ll party with imaginary friends
So I’ll…
Never have to feel my feelings again
'Cuz my party don't stop
'Til my heartbeat stop

The Spellcaster
04:55

Dear devil from my fairy tale
You're just a spell
I can't quit casting on myself
I know love's a drug
But you've got the worst comedown
And all the amphetamines in this world
Won't make my heart beat as fast as you can
And if you could understand
If I could plea the darkest spirits
For you
I would take the chance
Oh little miss succubus
You've hit the bloodstream
Now my limbs will not sit still
Well I've chased the dragon
I've got the worst comedown
But a thousand shots of whiskey
Won't stop this heart from beating
The beat goes on...
But I won't let them take you
I won't let you get away
No...
You're...
Mine
And if you could understand
If I could plea the darkest spirits
For you
I would take the chance
The beat goes on...
Write myself a death wish
If I can't have you
Nobody will
The beat goes on...

Game Over
02:21
|

It’s gone
Game over
You fucked up
We lost
I never wanna see your fucking face again
Drag the cigarette until I never taste again
It’s gone
Game over
We fucked up
You lost
I never wanna play this fucking game again
Refill the glass until I never feel again
Game over
And now I’ll never sleep sober
Sporadically awaking
To the sight of a game over screen
Game over
Pull the plug
And walk way
Pissed off with nothing gained
This game was made for shelves…
This game was made for shelves…
A blank case on the rack
With nothing inside to sell
Tried so hard
Got so far
The only thing won
A shitty graphic of aligned stars.
As the demons inside
Reprise my wake at night
I’ll take this bottle
And bash my head to sleep tonight
All this weight that I’ve chosen to drag
I can let it go
If I just let go…
If I just let go…
If I just let go…
I’m letting go
I’m going home

Sail Away
04:57
|

Ditch the shore
Let’s sail away
I’m unwelcome here
Let’s run away from all that I fear
But all I fear…
Is the world
So let’s ditch the shore
And waste away
As the pendulum swings
I don’t want to give a damn about a thing
‘Cuz all I see…
Is the edge
And if you could
Wake me up
When I fall asleep
And pick me up
If I sink too deep
Just don’t carry me to shore
I don’t want to be there anymore
Just let me float away
Ditch the shore
And sail away
While the wind is strong
Take a bouquet
Of all the things I’ve ever wanted to say
And put it in a song
So let’s ditch the shore
And sail away
I’m unwelcome here
Let’s run away from all that I fear
And whenever we’re tired of sailing the world…
Let’s ditch the boat
And float away…
And I will
Wake you up
When you fall asleep
And pick you up
If you sink too deep
But I wont carry you to shore
We’re no longer there anymore
So let’s just float away
But the truth is
I’m too scared to sail the world alone
Let’s sail away

Waves
07:22

Ran away to California
Runnin’ away from you
Ran away to L.A.
So may waves
Wash away the last of you
Head in the clouds
I’m inside out
I don’t want to come down
Body in water
Heart in the sand
I don’t need to understand
Just so captured…
All the waves
All the lights
All the waves
All the lights
All the sky
Polluting my head
Diluting my brain now
In my head…
I don’t wanna come home
Never gonna come home
Ran away to California
Runnin’ away from rainy days
Packed my bags
And flew my soul away
Let the waves
Drift it away
Body in water
Heart in the sand
I don’t need to understand
Stuck in the clouds
I’m flailing out
‘Cuz I’m too afraid to look down
But when my cloud grows thin…
Will I have to face what’s within?
Such a long way down…
All the waves
All the lights
All the waves
All the lights
All the sky
Polluting my head
Diluting my brain now
And clouding my heart
I don’t want to come home
Never gonna come home

Escape Yourself
04:56
|
|||
It's just the world...
I feel it...
If only I could...
Breathe
Take my wrist
Drag me out of here
We'll succumb to what we fear
Hold me please
I am crippled from the knees
Haunt me please
I could use your company
Let's watch the sky spin as we
Toss and turn in sheets of surreality
Allow your mind to ponder
What is reality?
I don't care
'Cuz I am here
And the world is out there
What's the world?
The world is what I see
That's all I need
I think it's what you need
Just don't forget to breathe
There's a spider on my ceiling
I'm watching her weave her web
Closer and closer she comes
I think she's tempting me
Shut my eyes
As she nibbles my ear
I'm shivering
I've fallen from key
But I've fallen from misery
I'm going numb
Oh dear god
What is she whispering?
What's to care?
I'm up here
And you are down there
Well who are you?
You're not where I can see
What do I need
I think I need to breathe
So breathe unto me
Earthquakes inside myself
I can't escape myself
The haze may cloud myself
But does one escape one's self?
How do I escape myself?

Hotbox The Atmosphere

“Well I’m gonna drop my bomb
‘Cuz I hate you all
I’m gonna drop this bomb
And I hope it kills you all”
She said
“Let’s get this over with
C’mon, let’s get this over with now”
“Well I hope you like the taste of napalm
I know you like to cuddle with fire”
She said
“I do
I do now”
“There’s no metaphor in this poem”
And she said
“I knew
I knew from the start
A combustible mixture, we are
I knew
Now let’s get this over with somehow”
And we can blow up the world
We can blow up the world, yeah
I just
Never thought it’d be so hard
With the thoughts of you dismembered
“Well detonate the bomb
I changed my mind
Detonate the bomb
‘Cuz I don’t really care”
She said
“Don’t puss out on me now
Just have a drink, mellow out
Because lately I’ve been thinkin’
Why don’t we just be dust?
Let’s just be dust for awhile
Let’s be dust for a lonely while”
And when we blow up the world
When we blow up the world, yeah
We can…
Rid our minds of what’s to fear
As we hotbox the atmosphere
All the universes were made to be
One playground for you and me

Kidnapping The Princess
05:51
|
|||
Just a peasant I am
A world that’s one to shame
I feel the warmth
Beyond my ball and chain
But I can see a world within a dreamscape
And there she is
Shining over me
In plastic glory
Though just humans we are
Society defines our cage
I feel you close
But a heart so far
But I can feel the soul within a dreamscape
And of those who kidnap
And those who save
I will kidnap her to save the world
I’ll break away
And shatter my ball and chains
And slay the bastards
That dare stand in my way
And I will storm the palace that confines her
And all in all
In one fell swoop
I’ll swipe her up in hand
...And I’ll ride away
Ride through the piercing pain
And I’ll rewrite the story
Until it ends my way
Because I’m so tired of being the bad guy
And of those who kidnap…
And those who save…
I will kidnap her to save the world
Don’t look away
And don’t turn back
Don’t brush my side
Breathe in new life
And we’re on top of the world
Dressed in crystalline
We’ll ride away
No looking back
With arms alongside
Breathing new life
And it’s getting me high
We’re gettin’ high
Dressed in crystalline
‘Cuz what’s a palace to the world?
We’ll sprout wings
And lay our selves along the skyline
And into the garden where flowers bloom
We will no longer be bound by dreams
Life is the dream
Your majesty
Your royal highness of mine

Lullaby
04:49

Rest assured
When you’ve got nowhere to run
Know there’s no reason to run
Just another flicker in the ashtray
Breathe it out
You’ve got nowhere to hide
But there’s no reason to hide
It’s about time you emptied the ashtray
And carry on…
Rest assured
All the voices in your head
They’re not even real
It’s all just a flicker in the ashtray
Don’t fight the fight
There is no fight to fight
So breathe it out
It’s about time you emptied the ashtray
The next chapter is on the next page…
Rest assured
You may not be the hero
But you’re not the bad guy
It’s just another flicker in the ashtray
So when you light up another
Know the weight of the world
Isn’t one for you to drag
It’s about time you emptied the ashtray
The next chapter is on the next page…
So relax
Just relax
You can breathe it out
One day you’ll wake up and see
The world is all you need
Rest assured
When it feels you’re down and out
There’s still no fight to fight
Just another flicker in the ashtray
Rest assured
The story isn’t over
It has just begun
It’s about time you emptied the ashtray
The next chapter is on the next page…
