I’ve got such a bad feeling now Got this lump in my throat that just won’t go down And I know so many bad words now But I’m Just afraid to say them out loud And I said Oh well I hear the weather’s so swell Take a trip down To the seventh circle of hell Love one another we all should Simple concept poorly understood A random act of violence I never could But it makes sense to me why someone would And I said Oh well I hear the weather’s so swell Take a trip down To the seventh circle of hell And I said Oh well I hear the weather’s so swell Take a trip down To the seventh circle of hell

Help me I want you to help me Cause I can’t find a reason A reason why Memory Can I be a memory Will you still say I helped you Learn to fly I love you so much You tell me exactly who I am Embrace me with your reckless abandon Tell me I want you to tell me Without ever saying A single lie Empty I just feel so empty And I’m afraid of asking Asking Why I love you so much You tell me exactly who I am Embrace me with your reckless abandon I love you so much You tell me exactly who I am Embrace me with your reckless abandon

Black Sheep 03:27
I promise not to do myself any harm If you promise not to sound the alarm I feel guilty saying this life has lost its charm But my morning commute resembles a factory farm But I’m the black sheep That painted itself white Now I’m stuck being counted Every single night Beware of the Company you keep In the bed that I’ve made But I just can’t sleep I’m a little speck between towers of ivory Perfectly placed to scare the out of me Convince I won’t amount to anything My apathy likes the way that you think But I’m the black sheep That painted itself white Now I’m stuck being counted Every single night Beware of the Company you keep In the bed that I’ve made But I just can’t sleep But I’m the black sheep That painted itself white Now I’m stuck being counted Every single night But I’m breaking out Going to remove all this plastic It’s time for some drastic Changes to my life

After years of living like this I’ve learned to love the feeling Of being in love but never feeling It in return I’m content with just dreaming Do you remember our day in the rain Oh how I have it memorized If you had told me that I was just dreaming Can’t say that I would be surprised Late at night we talk about All our fears and worries You’re the only one that shows me I’ve got it all wrong You say this world’s too big for me not to belong Do you remember our day in the rain Oh how I have it memorized If you had told me that I was just dreaming Can’t say that I would be surprised Do you remember our day in the rain Oh how I have it memorized If you were to tell me that I’ll spend my life dreaming Can’t say that I would be surprised

Coffin Song 03:25
In a time of transition Like a snake shedding skin Can’t tell if it’s the end or about to begin You say that I look different Grown skinny and so pale Well don’t you know I’m building myself this coffin And all I need is one more nail Well this life is scary And moving way too fast Can’t keep running with the weight of the past You say that I look different Grown skinny and so pale Well don’t you know I’m building myself this coffin And all I need is one more nail You say that I look different Grown skinny and so pale Well don’t you know I’m building myself this coffin And all I need is one more nail

VMC 03:31
In the dead of night I’m looking for a ride ride ride Murdered out car with a stranger inside When you ask where I am I always have to lie lie lie Be the teeth in your smile And the tears in your cry You didn’t hear this from me But they’re throwing a party At the VMC I hope they drag my body Back to the VMC Looking around will only bring you down down down A lot of people who’ve lost sight of the ground Soothe yourself with cars That use a lot of gasoline Methylphenidate and fluoxetine You didn’t hear this from me But they’re throwing a party At the VMC I hope they drag my body Back to the VMC You didn’t hear this from me But they’re throwing a party At the VMC I hope they drag my body Back to the VMC

How do you feel? When you look around and it doesn’t seem real I promise that you’re safe without them Even though we’re free I know somethings just aren’t meant to be Sometimes I think one of those things is me When I arrived I thought that I could start a brand new life But boy was I disappointed Chained to my loom I’ve always been the last flower to bloom Didn’t get enough sunlight locked in my bedroom It ends tonight To say that I’m driven just by spite Would be one hell of an understatement You wanted a rat race Well I can’t wait to see the look on your face When I’m in first and you’re in second place Everybody’s Smiling But Nobody’s Happy Everybody’s Smiling But Nobody’s Happy Everybody’s Smiling But Nobody’s Happy Everybody’s Smiling But Nobody’s Happy
