THE WORLD IN FEAR
Falling down, embrace the sounds
Ear pressed up against the ground
Cover tracks under the snow
When they get close it’s time to go
This is a fight that we can’t win
Run to escape this war we’re in
Restless sleep under the stars
Until they find out where we are
Can’t hide the light
That shines from deep within us (hey, hey)
Wear it where they can see it
Won’t lie I’m right
Won’t have you on my conscience (hey)
Just run…
As time is catching up we’ll find our way;
Fleeing through our yesterdays
And where they fall behind we’ll try to stay…
Only to be found another day
Cross my heart and don’t you lie
The blood is raining from this sky
They’ll try to chain the world in fear
And lock our souls away down here
Can’t hide the light
That shines from deep within us (hey, hey)
Wear it where they can see it
Won’t lie I’m right
Won’t have you on my conscience (hey)
Just run…
As time is catching up we’ll find our way;
Fleeing through our yesterdays
And where they fall behind we’ll try to stay…
Only to be found another day
The poisoned lies
That sleep behind their eyes
Your life is spinning out of control
While death you can’t defy
That life you may deny
And slowly you will take back control
If we stopped running – they couldn’t chase us
If we stopped running – they couldn’t chase us
If we stopped running…
As time is catching up we’ll find our way;
Fleeing through our yesterdays
And where they fall behind we’ll try to stay…
Only to be found another day
As time is catching up we’ll find our way;
Fleeing through our yesterdays
And where they fall behind is where we’ll stay
We’ll make our stand and we won’t run away…

"Made For"

“MADE FOR”
"I'm blind as a bat; my heart died and cracked
There's hardly a thing in this life that compares to the terror I face,
'Cause my phone calls are traced and the walls of my room they can see through
Oh what a fate to have started life great, to fall apart the minute that you got a chance to live it
My face to the ground, I'm kicked while I'm down, but that's to be expected: I'm a sucker for a punch line
Give me all you've got this time"
(Because) These dreams were made for taking; lives were made to fall apart
I'd think I'd like to see what's in your heart
Honey, life's a bloodbath while you do the math I'm halfway insane and no, I can't take it
Stuck in this place my passion’s replaced with suicidal-apathy and strong psychotic tendencies
A corpse on the sidewalk, a jump off a high spot, a crowd and their waning attention
You think that's too much? But they made the rules up and the medicine's another sin to cross off of my bucket list
I’ll take my time with it
(Because) These dreams were made for taking; lives were made to fall apart
I'd think I'd like to see what's in your heart
The rules were made for breaking and this life I've made is no work of art
This time I'd like to see just what they've done to me
These dreams were made for taking and lives were made to fall apart
I think I'd like to see what's in your
Dreams so I can take them and watch our lives both fall apart
I'd think I'd like, well I think I’d like to break what's in your heart

My Heart, Your Puppet

MY HEART, YOUR PUPPET
With bloodshot eyes I still can see her there
Walk a mile, for a smile pulled the roses from her hair
And I cannot lie, my heart it beats for this:
The pretty dress, the lips that press and I would steal your kiss
But it will stay this way
As if you cared (As if you cared)
But can you see what's happening?
As if you cared (As if you cared)
My heart's a puppet on a string
Act like you care (Act like you care)
But I can see right through
Act like you care (Act like you care)
'Cause all I want is you
A pretty face and could you bring the tears
Pour them out, upon the ground with you I wouldn't fear
I'd give a pint now just to see your eyes
And for your love, all of my blood to know that in your heart I'd die
But it can't be that way
As if you cared (As if you cared)
But can you see what's happening?
As if you cared (As if you cared)
My heart's a puppet on a string
Act like you care (Act like you care)
But I can see right through
Act like you care (Act like you care)
'Cause all I want is you
And as a wise man once said...
“Stop pretending that you care for me
Stop pretending and let me be, oh babe
Stop pretending that you'd walk a mile
Stop pretending honey child”
As if you cared (As if you cared)
But can you see what's happening?
As if you cared (As if you cared)
My heart's a puppet on a string
Act like you care (Act like you care)
But I can see right through
Act like you care (Act like you care)
'Cause all I want is you

WOLF EYES
Get off the job, get in your car, run the first red light, got that ache up in your veins you're gonna fly tonight
Tame the way you feel and keep your grip on the wheel, stay sane when they tell you:
“You need to learn deal, just live and love”
And to cope you start to toke on another drug
Your friends fall all around you, on the floor is where they found you
The system getting into you from every single angle, you tried your best to fight it just as long as you were able; life don't take no prisoners, it's all or nothing and you got burned
Ignore the warning signs, they see 'em in your own mind
They'll say you're fine but everyone lies
"Give it to me, but I won't give shit to you"
This is the mantra of the wicked things they do
Want what you've got, not who you are inside
Never trust them, the hungry watching, with big wolf eyes
With these lyrics we'll depict a new familiar scene: you break your back each day work surviving on caffeine and how much of the paycheck do you see after the school loans, the state, and the war machine?
And you get home after a long one, light up and relax but they'll throw your ass in prison if they find an ounce of grass
They'll feed the demons in your head; put the gun in your hands, they want you dead
Ignore the warning signs, they’ll see ‘em in the clear skies; can't hide ‘em, no they'll find you tonight
Ignore the warning signs, they see 'em in your eyes, you say you're fine but everyone lies
"Give it to me, but I won't give shit to you"
This is the mantra of the wicked things they do
Want what you've got, not who you are inside
Never trust them, the hungry watching, with big wolf eyes
"Give it to me, but I won't give shit to you"
This is the mantra of the wicked things they do
Want what you've got, not who you are inside
Never trust them, the hungry watching, with big wolf eyes

THE CLOSEST THING TO HOME
Home ain’t where the heart is, home’s where I find my peace; if home ain’t a place of sanity I need to take more of these
A neighborhood of manikins, a nightmare down the street, the tell-tale signs of panicking in the eyes of those you meet
This block is haunted but no one seems to care, you know I can see things but they say there’s nothing there
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
The doctor is my minister, the pharmacist’s my priest, keep me drugged and comfortable so you don’t have to hear from me but the pills just dull the muttering, I still can’t get no sleep; people keep discovering the signs of my disease
My head is haunted, I don’t mean to scare but the voices make me do things and I’m just not aware
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
This place is killing me, you’ve got to take me home
The pressure’s killing me, you’ve got to take me home
These pills are killing me, you’ve got to take me home
My head is killing me, you’ve got to take me home
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”
“Welcome home,” the voices say to me
“Welcome home, we know where you should be; come on in, we’ve got a box that’s just your height; get right in, ‘cause you won’t last the night”

EULOGY FOR THE WHITE RABBIT
Don't wait up for me, I might not make it back in time, it's not just tonight I've been down here looking for a sign; and right now things are looking up but I've learned to keep my eyes both shut
Trip and fall on fantasy I wound up here
I'll fall down this hole
On bloody hands through wonderland I crawl,
Imagining the friends I've never known
And things have changed here
It's not the same, dear
Since you were here
You lit the fire
When you grow up in this place, they'll give you nothing and want something great
Now I won't try to change the world 'cause I can't even change myself
But these demons don't agree: painting roses red with blood from my eyes, locked inside my cage – these bars won't bend, the future's blind, and I figured out the hangman's knot
"You'll burn in hell" is what they taught but this place could use some cleansing and the flame's already lit
I'll fall down this hole
On bloody hands through wonderland I crawl,
Imagining the friends I've never known
And things have changed here
It's not the same, dear
Since you were here
You lit the fire
Drink the bottle (the label says your size will alter, watch your self-esteem get smaller)
Is living so hard? (Everyone's lives taunting me, they make it seem so damn easy)
The pills you swallow, (are ten times worse, I'm telling you, than all the shit you've been through)
So give me one shot, (morphine to make me dream or novocain to dull the pain)
Can medicine still save my soul, when all that's left is a black hole?
(pull me up by my IV) Is it worth it if the end justifies the means?
I've fallen down this rabbit-hole again, but even here I'm left to fend for myself
I'll crawl out of this hole
On hands and knees at last I see the sun...
And it's time to fix the problems I've been dealt
And things have changed here
It's not the same, dear
Since you were here
We put out the fire
