Cannibals 03:03
Walking around the same old town, eating the flesh off the same old bodies, I want to leave but I don't know how so I keep calm and carry on rotting, but all I taste is your blood in my mouth. We live like cannibals, consume you consume me until were full, we live like cannibals, well feed because everyones edible. I won't stop till I've had my fill, your last shred of hope is long gone, so if you're here and you're breathing still, better head for the hills or you'll be dead by dawn and we won't care because We live like cannibals, consume you consume me until were full, we live like cannibals, well feed because everyones edible. We will never be full, we can wear suits and ties but were still cannibals, you won't know what lies underneath, till I bare my teeth. We live like cannibals, consume you consume me until were full, we live like cannibals, well feed because everyones edible.

We die, quick as we came Though we try to cheat the grave To live your life is to play pretend 'Cause we're all skeletons in the end We die by bombs and blades and guns And accidental decapitation So you better watch everything that you do Because the world is an assassin and it's after you Death by disease or death by falling, falling Get on your knees the grave is calling, calling It doesn't matter how you go Or who you know or what they said Everybody do the dance of the dead So dance and despair There's a chill filling the air Accept your fate and lose control 'Cause it's much too late to save your soul The end is near, but the dance ain't done 'Cause we dead people just wanna have fun So let me see you shake, let me rattle your bones We're all gonna go, but we're not gonna go alone So come and dance around the pillar of fire Come all you beggars, kings, and killers, liars No matter how much you protest Or how you're dressed or what you've read Everybody do the dance of the dead This is your final day and it's so nice, so nice We're gonna fade away in the sunlight I know you want to stay, but there's no time, no time So say goodbye to sea and sky And to the earth on which you tread Everybody do the dance of the dead

Meds 04:13
Hold your breath This is just a test I promise you that you'll be alright But you might feel a sting A touch of suffering But you'll do anything To help you sleep at night So look close And tell me what you see Is it dissonance or harmony? Masterpiece or travesty? Euphoria or misery? Now breathe Got one in my pocket And five in the chamber Danger, danger I think I'm losing my mind Ignored all these warning signs I'm about to unwind I need a doctor Doctor, doctor Please give me your diagnosis Well my records show You're at a whole new low And your close to psychosis now So look close And tell me what you see A miracle or tragedy? Tenderness or savagery? Weightlessness or gravity? Now breathe There's an ice on the inside See your breath in the cold We'll be nothing but snow We'll be nothing, nothing Where do we go when we die? And does anyone know? Are there such things as souls? Or just nothing, nothing My eyesight fails to reveal All these dread night terrors concealed In this twilight Stumbling in the dark And I see so many lives Set adrift in the mist But we've all got to navigate This strange abyss So I'm making a choice Between heaven and hell Between venturing into the void And destroying myself

Ask Me How 04:48
Close all the doors, turn off the lights, were not going out tonight. Streets in disguise, theres no one in sight, But I feel her hand on my spine and open my eyes. Will you show me the right way to die? Pull on the ropes I'm breathing in smoke, please tell me that this is a joke. You standing there watching me sputter and choke, tell me to just close my eyes, Sleep and regret saying do you feel sorry yet? drown in your misery. when you go, turn to look back at me twisting in agony face in the dirt. when you go, douce me in gasoline, matches and magazines, third degree burns. You're watching me smoulder, colder then the ground. maybe you'll learn as you burn down. These hospital beds and people in white, The days turning into night the doctor says I should be glad i'm alive I don't know what made you decide, that I had to burn, so I think i'll take my turn lets make a tragedy. You should know, the first rule of homicide you should make sure that I'm put in a grave, you should know, that you were the start of this, heart broken arsonist speaking in flames, I'm building a fire, higher then the clouds. Maybe you'll learn, as you burn, down!
