I'm not on my own, I'm not on my own, I've got all my demons here with me, you see. All I've ever known how to brew was snake oil so would you like one glass or two? All I've ever known was how to do was spin wheels so Satan; watch out, I'm coming through. The empire falls when there's now will to fight. You in the back start towing the line! They warned of a kick, they foretold a bite but I feel fine. I'm not on my own, I'm not on my own, I've got all my demons here with me, you see. All I've ever known was how to brew was snake oil and another mouthful should do. All I've ever known was how to do was spin wheels as the ground below starts to move. The history books just won't be polite, I'm not their friend and they're not mine. Tomorrow brings an absence of light but I feel fine. Back onto the tightrope I go without a care. If the bar is empty there's nothing for me here. I'm not on my own, I'm not on my own, I've got all my demons here with me, you see.

Heel Turn 04:48
We built this from the ground, you’ve tried to tear it down but you can't see you did more damage by being around. Your ego makes me queasy, your views make me uneasy. Biting my tongue takes fortitude, I’ve had enough of that tune. "I’m think I’m so obscene. A God damn drama queen. Hey everybody look at me! I will never be clean." Garbage, just fucking garbage. Garbage, you’re human garbage. I’m sure you’ll succeed out there, stabbing backs and braiding hair. I’m sure it’ll feel great when you look back to gloat and we don't care. "I’m think I’m so obscene. A God damn drama queen. Hey everybody look at me! I will never be clean." Garbage, just fucking garbage. Garbage, you’re human garbage.

This is temptation, so strong. This is temptation, so wrong. Her hooks are in me again, it feels terrible and great. Forego common sense, I want to act before I wait. My skin burns with the shame of desire. I am so sick of this fire. It's coming down to this. It's coming down. Even at my worst I don't lose sight of what is right but I can be a real monster under the right light. Her compassion turns my own to greed. She's want I want, I'm not what she needs. It's coming down to this. God damn, I can't resist... This is temptation, so strong. This is temptation, so wrong. I'm not a saint, it just looks that way; an asshole with commendations. My silver tongue, it hides away a long history of damnations. Your air of cool burns me red. You won't get out of my head. Play time is over, you take his hand but I want you bad. You're too good for me. I want you bad. It's coming down to this. I want you bad. This is temptation, so strong. This is temptation, so wrong.

Disparity 03:47
There's a sinking feeling staring at my reflection. There's a happiness calling, I can't make the connection. Let's play pretend by ourselves for a little while. I just need to draw a prettier smile. Finding comfort in what others find so deceiving. Finding that ideal is so much more appealing. Disparity: a part of me. This fantasy: sincerity. Stories and curves born from my mind, just to taste it. Time and trust are taken happily, then they're wasted. My confusion, create illusions. Your intrusion on my delusion. Holding tight to deliberate lunacy. I know it hurts to but it frees me. Disparity: a part of me. This fantasy: sincerity.

The idea that these toy soldiers march together makes me sick through laugher. You’ve driven me to the point of madness. The picture’s cracked, the picture’s cracked. You’ve got your indignance as far as I can tell. Everywhere is Werewolf Country. I’ve got my conscience, I hope it serves me well. Everywhere is Werewolf Country. Where once stood stability I only see unease. Don’t look up, it’s just the sword of Damocles. You strutted in with your head held high and your fangs were bared, your fangs were bared. You’ve got your indignance as far as I can tell. Everywhere is Werewolf Country. I’ve got my conscience, I hope it serves me well. Everywhere is Werewolf Country. If there’s kindness in you I want to know. Is it for real or is it just for show? If there’s kindness in you I want to know. Is it for real or is it just for show? Everybody has some darkness. No, I’m not impressed by yours. Everybody has a shadow. It should stay on walls and floors. If there’s kindness in you I need to know. Is it for real or is it just for show? Everybody has some darkness. No, I’m not impressed by yours. Everybody has a shadow. It should stay behind closed doors. It’s starting to feel like this will never end. It’s starting to feel like this will never end. All it takes is a scalpel and some ointment to make the fix to our monument. If there’s one thing I know it’s how to survive; pressure and time, pressure and time. You’ve got your indignance as far as I can tell. Everywhere is Werewolf Country. I’ve got my conscience, I hope it serves me well. Everywhere is Werewolf Country.

Are we still here because you're stuck to the floor? Or trying to catch the eye of the sizzled whore? I hope you realise that you are not in a fucking vacuum. Life goes on, with or without you. Sorry to criticise! Yes it's true, it's your choice and not mine anyway. I just don't understand why you choose to throw it all away. I grin and bare this. (I'm the calm in the storm.) Try to shake my focus. I see right through this. (I'm the calm in the storm.) You're desperate and hopeless. Your so-called escape is causing you harm, wake up and smell the roses you fucking clahn. You're starting to decay. I'm not like you and it's hard to like you when this is all you are and all you do. Another night inside this worthless parade. Yes it's true, it's your choice and not mine anyway. I just don't understand why you are this way. I grin and bare this. (I'm the calm in the storm.) Try to shake my focus. I see right through this. (I'm the calm in the storm.) You're desperate and hopeless. Don't you think it's time to wake up? I grin and bare this. (I'm the calm in the storm.) Try to shake my focus. I see right through this. (I'm the calm in the storm.) You're desperate and hopeless.

Sincere 05:25
Wake up, there’s a whole world out there; thousands of reasons to be scared. But if you shut it out you will find the only solace in your mind. Pins and needles in my mouth. Don’t ask me what this is about. This old man, he plays too, he plays blind and bulletproof. I don’t know why I’m here. So morose, so sincere. I’m not one to turn off the light but the creatures of my night just know how to bite me right. That’s just my point of view. My eyes are paralysed just like you. There’s only so much perspective I can take and so much courage I can fake. This old man, he plays too, he plays brash and bulletproof. I don’t know why I’m here. So morose, so sincere. It’s not clear why I’m here. So perverse, so sincere. I’m not sure what came first: the karma or the curse. I don’t know why I’m here. So morose, so sincere. It’s not clear why I’m here. So perverse, so sincere.

Mindfuck 03:44
I've got a secret, it's so good I'll keep it, it's so good I'll treat it to a good, hard chunk of my lonesome nights. Just let me into your mind, shaking from side to side now. Just let me into your mind, I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna stay right here now. You're gonna meet all my friends. I'll introduce you to them with a wave of my hand and a simple command. Just let me into your mind, shaking from side to side now. Just let me into your mind, I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna stay right here now. Let's get dressed up before you get messed up. Your make-up might run some but my God it makes you beautiful. Just let me into your mind, shaking from side to side now. Just let me into your mind, I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna stay right here now. So put your trust in me, under my wing you'll see the darkest thoughts inside you eventually come true.

Tapestries 04:11
The circle breaks, we’re all at fault. Please leave a message, or don't. The trial ahead is mine, don’t you waste any of my time. So we shook hands at the forked road. I’ll see you later, or not. This may seem insane to you but this is what I have to do. I can feel it in my bones. I can feel it, I can see I am weaving tapestries in my bones. And when they unearth me they will feel it, they will see, in my bones. This is what I’ve worked for, hands red raw and broke my back. This is my path, not yours, join me but I’m not going back. I will miss you dearly. I’ve no time for those with no time for me. I can feel it, I can see I am weaving tapestries in my bones. And when they unearth me they will feel it, they will see, in my bones. And if you don’t stand with me then I’ll go and plant a tree of my own I can feel it, I can see I am weaving tapestries in my bones.

Rock, paper and scissors to deal with the big decisions. If I were you I'd be scared too because this time I've thought things through. Long-sleeves, tablets and plasters and today's newest disaster. If I had known that this would be it, I would've sent my best poet. But now you're here I'll lay you to rest myself my dear. I'd rather be caught red-handed than turn the other cheek. I'd sooner sell my soul than never speak. This time I'll save myself. This time I'll save myself. Rock, paper and scissors to deal with the big decisions. If honesty is what you sought, you should've practiced what you taught. Cold, shaking and crimson to refuse a different opinion. The irony is that this charade kept us on the edge of the grave. But now we're here there's light in the darkness after all my dear. I'd rather be caught red-handed than turn the other cheek. I'd sooner sell my soul than never speak. This time I'll save myself. This time I'll save myself. My mind will wander... (You're out there somewhere in the ether) My mind will wander... (but I'll be praying you don't come any closer.) This time I'll save myself. This time I'll save myself. This time I'll save myself. This time I'll save myself.

Home 04:40
This little pocket no one knows, how it turns me into stone. It's living, breathing in my bones, this little pocket no one knows. And it's like... And it's like... This little pocket no one knows, how it turns me into stone. and sits me here upon my throne, this little pocket no one knows. And it's like home. It always changes and stays the same. And it's like home. It's in the water and in my veins. This little pocket no one knows, how it turns me into stone. Together we can be alone, this little pocket no one knows.

Hangmen 05:22
The world is small but life is long; another notch, more damage done. From sidelines, wide-eyed dread. Just stay in your lane, I'll stay in my lane. The night gives way to quiet woe, the hangmen just shake their heads slow. It's not as simple as they'd like, it has no mercy, it's claws are in me. The world is small but life is long; and my shoulders are not that strong. From the sidelines, rolling eyes. Just breathe in slowly, just breathe out slowly. I ask them to stay a while, the hangmen wear lopsided smiles. There's only so much they can do. A steep step to climb but it is all mine. I've overstayed my welcome here. The Unhappy Jester is killed and hung above the bar with the Winchester. Hangmen won't stand for this. Ignorance isn't bliss. I need it washed away. Hangmen won't stand for this. Obsession, reminisce. I need it washed away. I've scrubbed myself clean but flies are still circling. Seems I'm not calcifying, maybe I'm just rotting. Hangmen won't stand for this. Ignorance isn't bliss. I need it washed away. Hangmen won't stand for this. Obsession, reminisce. I need it washed away. You were supposed to burn bright then fade away. Tonight I'm shaking off chains holding me. You were supposed to burn bright then fade away. I predict the weatherman will sing a little off-key. You were supposed to burn bright then fade away. You were supposed to burn bright, now fade away. The world is small but life is long; holding hate is like a poison. I won't add another drop. I'm letting go, taking control. Hangmen won't stand for this. Ignorance isn't bliss. I'll wash it all away. Hangmen won't stand for this. Obsession, reminisce. I'll wash it all away.
