I was a fool, leaned on the newel and now I'm six feet under
I walked the plank and now I'm twenty thousand leagues below
This pressure has got me running circles
I couldn't believe what you said when you said it
At the time I was fighting for air
A tragic comedy
Words a commodity
Choices to be made when there's lines in the sand
Why did we think it was a good idea to sleep our fears away?
Now the feds are busting down our door while in our beds we lay
Now I'm back but the room looks so different
I'm taking charge but no one wants to hear it
I got a gun but no one wants to fear it
And I'm near it, oh so near it
I was a fool, leaned on the newel and now I'm six feet under
I walked the plank and now I'm twenty thousand leagues below
I watched and waited for someone who said they'd never leave me behind
I think your words are noble
But good help is really hard to find
When I get out I'm coming for you
Words won't get you out this fight
I only ask for honest people
It's too late to make this right
I'm taking charge though I'm locked in my bedroom
I'm feeling large though I'm tied to this case
Turn on your heels if you know what is good for you
Save yourself
Save some face

(I don't see why all the aggression you know? I feel like you're coming at me with like a really negative energy, ya know? I just don't know why he is so mean to me. Like, what's his deal?)
Take these visions and throw them away
Immaturity:
A beautiful display of colorless dreams
They'll chime in and say:
"Hey, what a great vision! Now, throw it away"
Take my heart
Crush it on the floor
Next to the dream that this heart had once bore
Oh! come on in I've unlocked the door
So you'll see my heart crushed on the floor
Don't you give me that TRSHTLK
Don't you give me that slow motion
Sing my song
Do you want to hear more?
They've come from dreams written long before my heart was crushed,
Before i was born
And found from pages thrown on the floor
(Hello? Who is this? Wait slow down... what did you just call me? Excuse me? Oh no, I don't think so. You are not going to call me that. Absolutely not! Don't you give me that TRSHTLK!)

Mechanical Eyes

Mountain ranges hill and plains is no excuse you're a phone call away
Now I've pretended this all ended far so long I've assumed it began
About two months ago his heart let him know
Despite what you want you never know what you want
So you cry
And you whine
Despite what you want, you never see what you got
With your mechanical eyes
So you cry
I read your tweet thought it was neat
A hundred fourty character of pure poetry
But I won't play the game of love and blame
That's all insanity to me
So stare in hesitation or strike a conversation
It's all the same to me
Cause you cry
And you whine
Despite what you want, you never see what you got
With your mechanical eyes
So you cry
Now you're playing the blame game, hurling your insults
Now you're doing the same thing expecting different results
You're a tragedy
And you fail to see you're so beautiful to me
But you cry
And you whine
Despite what you want, you never see what you got
With your mechanical eyes
So you cry

I ain't got no money to buy me no cigarettes
I ain't got no honey for my queen bee
And you think it's so funny choking out between your breath
"Dance monkey dance
There's a nickel with your name on it if you make the beat drop"
Well I'ma put you on a pedestal, but you only got one shot
Sugar daddy has got bills to pay, better give it all you got
I'ma put you on a pedestal, but you only got one chance
Fifteen seconds better act the fool, shake your money maker baby
Dance Monkey, Dance!
Back to the wall, trying to get some tang
Got your drink on and tail feathers on display
Well no amount of money or your wingman
Is gonna get your peacock laid
If you dance like the monkey on my back caught a nickel
But he never made the beat drop
Dance like everyone's watching.

Your heart is a locket
You're as high as a rocket
The truth is in your pocket
You got it all figured out
You got it all
You said:
I know my ABCs
A-B-C-D-E-F and G
I know My 123s
I can count to ten
It's ELOHMENTREE my dear
It's ELOHMENTREE
It's EL-OH-MEN-TREE
She did her homework
She's got philosophy
She did her makeup
She's got velocity
The time is in her cell phone
The time is all figured out
'Cause "time is all" she said:
I know my ABCs
A-B-C-D-E-F and G
I know My 123s
I can count to ten
It's ELOHMENTREE my dear
It's ELOHMENTREE
It's EL-OH-MEN-TREE
The world is yours, love
You got it all figured out
You don't need that stuff, girl
You got it all figured out
You don't need that love
Don't need that love above, love
You've got highschool diploma
Got Dolce and Gabbana
We are so ever thankful
You helped us figure it out
You proved us wrong
You proved us wrong
That notch is under your belt
We know our ABCs
A-B-C-D-E-F and G
We know our 123s
We can count to ten
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10

History...Repeating

Let's start a revolution
Let's build a tower to the sky
Become an institution
Become our own gods
We'll say:
"Nothing is new under the sun, we'll climb above it
We built this city just to burn to the ground, and we loved it
So grab your matches
I can't understand what you're saying
Grab your hatchets
I won't pray the prayers that you're praying
'Cause I know something is falling and I can't stop it now"
The sound of the heart breaking is silently opposed to the theme
Of the art of controlled sensation
The act itself is bigger than the scene
But that's all we've seen: just the scene
And that's all we know:
A carrot on a stick, mindless control
The heart goes bump bump:
("Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.")
So grab my matches
I don't need another lecture
Grab my hatchet
In my heart I knew I couldn't protect her
The heart goes bump bump
The heart goes:
Something is falling and I can't stop it now
No! Stop!

A day late
A dollar short
I made it sweet
It tasted tart
Now my regret
A broken heart
'Cause I knew they'd make me learn
My lot in life
Is set in stone
Moved side to side
But never on
I'm fifteen over
I'm fifteen late
'Cause i knew i missed my turn
Structural integrity
Overall longevity
And the beauty of brevity
I knew they'd make me learn
When i woke up
From my dream
As I recall
We were a team
We got that money
When we robbed that bank
We went to church
And then we prayed
We washed our hands
Yeah, we got free
'Til we got pulled over
Side of the street
You were so hungry
You looked so calm
Until that trophy
Became a bomb
I'm blowing up
I won't last long
'Cause I knew they'd watch me burn
Structural integrity
Overall longevity
And the beauty of brevity
I knew they'd make me learn

Brother stayed home while I went to do my thing
I came back broke and you greeted me with a ring
We shook it out brought it up
Broken nose and bloody fist
Brother just smiled and betrayed me with a kiss
I spent my whole life fighting fair
That never got me anywhere
Just clammy hands and wimpy prayers
I just did my time and payed my crime; got back in line for you
What is love?
Something I just can't get enough of
Daddy left town while momma raised her fists
And brother's black eye said that dad was sorely missed
Well, it took him longer to see what I had learned
The bride went mad while she waited her grooms return
What is love?
Something I just can't get enough of
Some people got no quarrel
Some people got the genes of
Some people who are quick to answer
Some people exactly like me

Howling at the Moon

We are not coming together here
We are not birds of a feather here
You go your own way in fear
I know my place here
It's coming up slowly
It's settling in
A darkness is growing
Just beneath my skin
It's hard to remember
The good with the bad
When you're howling at the moon
Change your tune
I'm rabid with hunger
I'm going down
Curse this moon
Pulling me under
I'm going to drown
Go your own way in fear
I'll tip my glass and cheer
It's coming up slowly
It's settling in
A darkness is growing
Just beneath my skin
It's hard to remember
The good with the bad
When you're howling at the moon
Load your silver
If you love the sick
Pull the trigger
Make it quick
Make it quit
