There’s a man that lives between my ears
A slimy, pissed-off puppeteer
Sorry, I don’t remember asking you anything
He came and kicked down the door
Now I'm left bloody
No longer in control anymore
The lack of faith has a goddamn face
No money no ransom, no Stockholm syndrome, no mausoleum
No money no ransom, no Stockholm syndrome, no linoleum
Don’t believe the lies they tell you
Don’t forget the life you’ve lived through
Barefaced motherfucker your time is up
Gunna go down swinging cus enough's enough
No time to self-destruct
To take you at your word would be a delusion
A devil's advocate sinking into seclusion
Turning out the lights and hiding underneath the covers
Fuck this, I deserve happiness as much as all the others
No money no ransom, no Stockholm syndrome, no mausoleum
No money no ransom, no Stockholm syndrome
Don’t believe the lies they tell you
Don’t forget the life you’ve lived through
Barefaced motherfucker your time is up
Gunna go down swinging cus enough's enough
No time to self-
No time to self-destruct

Up in flames
Singe my bones, engulf my brain
Colors so bright and beautiful, bring a tear to your eye
It’s hot to the touch
Some might say it's a bit much
But exactly how I would have wanted it
Light it up, light it up let's go
I’ll be gone before you know
No remains left to take in tow
Or Sunday paper centerfold
Light it up, light it up lets go
I’ll be gone before you know
No remains left to take in tow
Or Sunday paper centerfold
Exactly how I would have wanted it
Exactly how I would have wanted it
Exactly how I would have wanted it
Only if I could
A ball of light careens through the sky
And falling faster
Four wheels off of the cliff
A skeleton of shit
If I got to choose (I’ll wait for you)
I’m not the one to lose (Until I do)
Don’t break from my eyes (A firefight)
We’ll dance until we die
Light it up, light it up let's go
I’ll be gone before you know
No remains left to take in tow
Or Sunday paper centerfold
Light it up, light it up lets go
I’ll be gone before you know
No remains left to take in tow
Or Sunday paper centerfold
And it's exactly how I would have wanted it
Exactly how I would have wanted it
A ball of light careens through the sky
And falling faster
Four wheels off of the cliff
A skeleton of shit

A chrysalism washed over the ever changing room
A dark tranquility until the light comes too soon
Walking through a place I’ve only been in a dream
Content in a place that I have never really seen
Used to write about anticipation and the coming days
Now they’re passed and normalcy has gone away
I see the pink light coming over the hill again
A new morning and a warm familiar face of a friend
Don't care if I have to play pretend
I’m sure that this moment
is very important
Everything I know will leave
Just look back and revel
It’s truly incredible
Brought to tears by the scenery
True love
Aurora
Lights are in the dark
Just look up
Rest your head down
Weary explorer
True love
Aurora
True love
Aurora
Lights are in the dark
Just look up
Rest your head down
Weary explorer
True love

You’ve got spiders hiding in your walls
I’ve got some spiders too, but they don’t stand quite as tall
But when they weave their webs get tangled almost tight enough to strangle
Until all that’s left inside is just you and me and all the in-between
I can’t take this in-between
I can’t take this
Something wrong is happening with with this
Can’t admit just what it is. Should I pull back from your kiss?
Silver bells, Autumn swells
Silver bells, Autumn swells
I can’t take this in-between
I can’t take this in-between
I can’t take this

Do you feel the creeping dread of karma coming to collect?
Your bark is stronger than your bite, I wouldn’t place a bet
Furrow your brow some more and everyone will just forget
No danger in a hollow threat
What’s the loss this time?
No great shakes for a crumbling life
What’s the loss this time?
A swing and a miss with a plastic knife
Run away, run away
Try to make it out before the earthquake
(No time) Leave it all in decay
Laughing in the disarray
Please god, don’t come up and talk to me
I want no part in your reality
Made me a skeptic, don’t believe a thing
Legends never die, but this one’s decomposing
No gods, no masters
Just death and disaster
If it’s revenge you’re after
Then you’re a bad fucking actor
No gods, no masters
Just death and disaster
If it’s revenge you’re after
If it’s revenge you’re after
If it’s revenge you’re after
Then you’re a suspect actor
Run away, run away
Try to make it out before the earthquake
(No time) Leave it all in decay
Laughing in the disarray
A hypocrite with too many faces
And often too many hearts
If not a coward, a liar
Don’t wanna bore you (I fucking told you)
Too late to wash your hands clean
Walking out with stained red skin
Soaked in a blood tsunami
An alibi so paper thin
I fucking told you
