Is this all that there is? Come see me and my best friend! It's Caesar and me He said we were a team Breaking and entering To secure the American dream I won't abandon you You're all that I have Is this what we've become? Petty thieves, lower than scum This is not who I should become It's Caesar and me He said we were a team Breaking and entering To secure the American dream Why would you leave? I'm all you have Why won't you tell them? Tell them, Caesar Why won't you tell them?! Hey kid, get over here I'm ready to ruin your life

A funny thing happened to me on my way over to the club the other night He's alive! I'm telling you, he's alive! He's alive! I'm telling you, he's alive! Why won't you listen to me? He's alive! He talks when I don't talk These jokes I've never heard before Why does everyone think I'm crazy? You put words in my mouth You stuck out my tongue you fuck, you stuck out my tongue Why don't you get it? You made me who I am And I'm in your blood, I am in your blood Why don't you get it? I hope your satisfied Like the song, like the song of the same name What do you say? What do you say we get down, yeah we get down to this business now How can you be real when you're made of wood? How can you be real?! Keep talking, I'll find you Keep talking, I'll find you

Painting the red carpet black Turning your fashion show into a funeral You demolished the trust with a stab in the back Your sense of self is inflated and swollen That same crooked smile plastered under your eyes Taking me back to our days in the school yard I should have suspected this horrendous surprise A betrayal rivaled only by the stars abandoning the sky I don't even want to hear it You always sound sexier with your mouth shut anyway Save your sorry, no forgiveness You are one long paper cut on the wrist of the earth Painting your black casket red Making a joke of the things that you hold close Haha it's funny your parents are dead Payback's a bitch you stupid motherfucker I have no respect for people like you Turning your back when you're needed the most After all that you put me through I would never stoop so fucking low as to hurt you back You've done me in, you've done me wrong I won't be keeping my mouth shut for long You've done me in, you've done me wrong Your pathetic apology won't change my hate song I don't even want to hear it You always sound sexier with your mouth shut anyway Save your sorry, no forgiveness We are one long splinter in the retina of god Shut your fucking mouth Deadbeat pig fucker Headache queen bitch Fuck you and your happiness You took it all from me I'm taking it back

We’re all born with high hopes But somewhere along the way   We lose that sense of light Exchanged for a prayer of mediocrity Please don’t let the bad things happen Please just let me, get through the day   Day after day Week after week If I just get through this I can sleep and eat   What a worthless excuse for existence Sleeping your days away In a conscious haze   Dreamers of the world unite We have naught to lose but our chains We will fix this place   Rise up towards the unknown With an explorer’s mind Leave your doubts behind   Take the fight to them Inspire others We shall have ourselves a revolution   Why hope for better things When the world seems hellbent On burning itself to the ground?   How can we even go on? Pretending we’re not on the brink of total destruction   Things may seem bleak for the moment Allow yourself to see the bigger picture So many of us care So many of us are fighting for this   Giving up won’t achieve a thing Wouldn’t you rather stand for something Than die thinking “oh what if?”   No hope! No flicker of light No ember or spark of humanity   Just the guilt Collective guilt and grief Yet we still have so much more to lose   Patronise someone else We’re powerless against the powers that be   There’s no way to go but down   Bound by the deconstruction of self Where does a collective even play a part In an egocentric economy Reliant on self destruction?   Why hope for better things When we can demand them Fight for them Claim the world as our own   Why hope for better things When we can take back what's ours Money and power Illusions the bureaucrats claimed as their own   Why hope for better things When we can hit them where it hurts Hit them where it counts   Why hope for better things When we can demand them

Quantum mechanic manipulation Remains out of reach Research papers spread across the table The solution is out of reach   Stretching, bending and breaking to achieve my goal Folding, punching through the layers A fabricated black hole   Awake yet barely aware Obsessively replaying Every moment Every crooked chance I didn't take   Holding out for perfection!   If energy is never truly destroyed Is your essence simply scattered Have you taken a new form And can I take it too?   Perhaps ghosts simply Vibrate in a different dimension A different frequency Waiting to welcome me Ready to be seen   A lifetime is not enough We needed more We would've made the most of it   A feeling of incomplete Existence There can be beauty without The contrast   There can be love without loss   Given my desire to Figure out the tools Required for this big transition   Nothing can ever replace you And no one ever will forever I'll l miss you At least until we’re reunited   Wherever you are Is where I’ll soon be   All I need is the big transition   Nothing can ever replace you And no one ever will forever I'll l miss you At least until we’re reunited   If there's somewhere in this world where I belong It's wherever you are Right by your side

Drop your dead head And wave goodbye Silent words speak loudy When you’re not alive Drop your dead head And wave goodbye Silent words speak loudy When you’re not alive Ghostly figures Laugh at your cries To execute the undead That never dies Spirals in the air through the corridor Cries pursue, flooding through the ceiling floor You are not welcome Rest now in your partial grave Far down You’ll never haunt me Your skulls last fracture Go (Oh god won’t save me) Now (dear god please save me Go (forget this meaning) Go (undo this being) Go (god) Go (god save me please Go (Far away god) Go (Oh Save me) Go Now Go now Go now Go now A life in isolation Makes life more bearable When you only feel comfortable With yourself In chains

Deedee Megavoodoo Foam rubber Found your mangled pieces in the street I’ll show you that I don’t lack empathy in time Foam rubber Amputee slaughtered Remain unfound Foam rubber Erase you with a sharp pin No cells reside Your love Deprived No cells reside Your arm isn’t much now You’ll fall asleep tonight Foam rubber Amputee slaughtered in the street Foam rubber Amputee slaughtered in the street Foam rubber Amputee slaughtered I swear to god I don’t lack empathy It’s never done You’ll still Be Stuck Your limbs greet me Untorn The kill means red Corpse Fade to darkness Don’t try Can’t make it out the door, when you die inside
