The Devil You Don't Know

but you would never know / you're not looking for anything
and you wouldn't care / nothing ever affects you
you still can't see / what's right there
staring you right in your face
but you would never know / standing right beneath your feet
and you wouldn't care / nothing ever affects you
in all your wisdom / what would I know that you don't?
what you don't know / would never hurt you

WAS IT EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT IT COULD BE?
DOES IT LIVE UP TO ITS NAME?
OR IS IT JUST AN IDEA IN YOUR HEAD
SENT AWAY FROM A POSTCARD
YOU'RE STUCK IN A FANTASY
NOT THE LIFE YOU LEAD
DIAMONDS AND GUNS / ZEROS AND ONES
EVERYDAY JUST LYING IN PERFECT SUN
JUST MORE OF THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME
THE MORE YOU SPEAK THE MORE I SEE
YOU HAVE NOTHING WORTHY TO SAY
IN SPITE OF THE WEB YOU WEAVE
YOU REALLY THINK YOUR FOOLING ME?
YOU'RE LIVING A FANTASY
IN LOVE WITH A MEMORY
PUMP IT / TILL I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING
AND EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES NOTHING
ALL THE FREQUENCIES HAVE BECOME THE SAME
JUST MORE OF THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME
IN LOVE WITH A MOMENT THAT'S DEAD AND GONE
YOU'RE LIVING A FANTASY
CAN'T HEAR YOU BEYOND MY REACH
SO DIME IT / CAUSE NO ONE'S LISTENING
BLOW OUT / CAUSE NO ONE CARES ANYWAY
JUST WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY?
JUST MORE OF THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME

Suffer Me

we fell down to earth
burdened with glory and purpose / to balance the universe
so one way or the other / were gonna find you
and we're gonna end your world
but there's always one thing / you can take comfort in
mothers and fathers / brothers and sisters
we are gathered here today
sons and daughters / saints and sinners
not to cry but to celebrate
scapegoats and martyrs / winners and losers
and with the roll of a dice (it's just a game)
I lose everything / and I'm not smart enough to quit
so stop kidding yourself / you're not the chosen one
you're a mark and a fucking sap
clocked in / punched out / and over time
whatever it takes to get the job done
we just wanna end your world
look at where you are / hope you enjoyed your stay
cause your days are numbered / and it's the final hour
oh what a shame it would be / to take it away
you ungrateful bastard
heroes and villains / givers and takers
we only want one thing
makers and breakers / movers and shakers
just to end your world
ladies and gentlemen / boys and girls
for my next trick / I'll need a volunteer
and just like that / you're whole fucking world
will disappear
who's laughing now?

She Loves Me Not
01:42
|

|
I don't know you / you don't know me
that's why we're so good together / I know you like I know myself
I don't need you / you don't need me
but I want you to want me / because misery needs company
she's not dressed to kill / but good enough
and don't feel sorry / god loves those who die young
I don't know you / you don't know me
that's why we're so good together / you'll never know
we have so much in common / neither of us like me

Well Wishes

don't look up / they're looking down
adults are talking / don't make a sound
just make a wish / make it count
for a better life / not then but now
are you talking to me? like you know something
something you know / something I don't
guess we'll never know
you're not in control / of your life
you're not in control / of yourself
you're not in control / of anything
you're not in control now / and you never were
the way that you look at me / same way I look back at you
we're not the same / and we're not humane
were both just shades of fucking pathetic
rain down on us / fingers crossed / I wish you well
not your hero
pity me
I sicken you

the music is not in the notes
it's in the spaces in between
and the answers that you're looking for
are in the silence
so shut the fuck up

Save Yourself
05:14
|
|||
|
dragged by my feet / kicking and screaming
into the modern world I'll be / and still so out of sync
we're not analogue this is digital
I'm approaching the edge / I'm at the brink
if you wanted to save me / fucking save me from yourself
too little too late / you were quick just not quick enough
from the edge of the earth / to the surface without a parachute
it's a cause and effect reaction
you break my legs and I thank you for the crutches
I'm an iceberg and I'm looking for my titanic
now you're gonna come to my rescue
how can you save me? you can't save yourself
don't waste your time / it's a lost cause
a fools errand / and a waste of mind
don't set yourself up / it's not your problem
keep your head down / mind your own business
why would anything happen to you? it'd only happen to me
don't bother trying to save me / I'll drag you down
I'll take you down with me
don't bother trying to save me / I'll drag you down
I'll take you down with me

The World Is Not Yours
03:15
|

where commodities are blessings and money is god
and my thoughts are mine and they can't bought
where someone's always watching but justice is blind
and the worst things about you can be monetized
you think you can save us from ourselves?
dragging your feet when it's in your hands
in the service of this world they create
when all you make is dirty money never washed away
where you can earn on someones loss
just a dollar nailed to a cross
and where do take stock when you're making a killing
ask yourself whose world is this? and at whose expense?
still not yours but we're taking it back
where commodities are blessings and money is god
and my life has meaning and it can't be bought
where someone's watching and justice is blind
when you can earn on someone's loss
just a dollar nailed to a cross
when you're making a killing ask yourself
whose world is this? and at whose expense?
ask yourself whose world is this?
