This song has a lot of minor changes from it's March 2012 original; the lack of a friend's guest vocals, tuning down from Drop D to C, changing some sections to clean vocals to suit that as well as the lead in the first verse altered.
lyrics
The sleep of reason brings forth monsters
I chase them around the floor at your bed
You're everything I never wanted
That's clear to everyone but myself
Shine on, indignant though you seem
Remarkably unremarkable
A needle in a haystack is solved
With the liberal application of fire
This dark night ends again in dawn
Whatever way it slides, every tongue has it's thorns
I am second to none to play the role of public enemy number one
I am second to none to play the role of public enemy number one
Paralyze my lips
Stapple me shut
We can't entertain the possibilty of me thinking aloud
Sympathetic action is the route to take to calm my nerves
Clear the decks
Set the table
Children are herded out to be seen and sacrificed
The storm cracks my shell again only to leave the pearl
I'll take a look around this dancefloor
I'll take a hook and score another mistake
These wings of murder are my gift to you
This silent disco is so monotone
I've been served a lemon SoCo with a side of petrone
I am second to none to play the role of public enemy number one
I am second to none to play the role of public enemy number one
One day this will all catch up with me
And find the word "late" carved into my body
This is my journal of daily indifference
From point A to point B amounting jury duty
