Freeze
03:24
|

Freeze the thoughts away, dark thoughts, night thoughts
Thoughts hoping for me to freeze
Light of snowy day, bright thoughts, light thoughts
Thoughts of a striking, cold breeze
[Bass solo]
Let light usurp dark, just as the driven snow
Intensifies our surroundings
Gentle silver ark, of all the paths to show
She brings us a new beginning
Freeze
Freeze

Get out of my head, get out of my head
Get out of my head, get out of my head
Dear Diary, today I cracked a smile, can it bee I've finally gone insane
Oh destiny, the thoughts I've reconciled, speeding up titration in my brain
Despise the life yet too afraid to die, emotionless and blindly marching on
So cold the ground and open is the sky, standing here yet I am truly gone
Now everyone can be happy, won't plague you anymore
Now everyone can be satisfied, be careful what you wish for
Dear Diary, today I realised the world is nothing but a breathing wheel
The happy thoughts I had were living lies, there's no truth in anything I feel
Now everyone can be happy, won't plague you anymore
Now everyone can be satisfied, be careful what you wish for
Now everyone can be happy, won't show my face again
Now everyone can be content
Put on a happy face, save you my disgrace
Today I'll find a use, or use my old excuse
Stuff my broken heart inside a mason jar
Use my blood to paint your walls in black, show no restraint
[Guitar solo]
Dear Diary, today I must confess I did it all in spite of my own self
Can you hear me, a writhing, twisted mess, my final entry, put you on the shelf
Now everyone can be happy, won't plague you anymore
Now everyone can be satisfied, be careful what you wish for
Now everyone can be happy, won't show my face again
Now everyone can be content
Get out of my head, get out of my head
Get out of my head

Feed the Raccoon
08:01
|
|||
A sharpened blade, my friend, my bane, amethyst eyes staring back at me
I could not keep it all contained, red river running far as the eye can see
Looks like you're back again, when will the torture end
A feral creature coming back 'cause I lent you a guilty snack
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Every ounce of passion in your veins, feed the raccoon
Pacing through the piercing rain, I've got nowhere, yet somewhere to be
In the open, so constrained, how far do I go before I feel free
Looks like you're here again, when will the madness end
This little devil coming back but this time I'm on the attack
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Every ounce of passion in your veins, feed the raccoon
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Every ounce of guilt inside your brain, feed the raccoon
Are you afraid of the dark, true monsters come out in the light
Even the tiniest spark is lookin' for a fight
This isn't some Eldritch hiding under your bed
It's a human who wants to get into your head
A person with a story, just like you and me
Eyes fixated on their destiny
Turn out the lights, go back to sleep
Don't lift your head, count all the sheep
Back to your dreams, give it no thought
The creatures outside, let them all rot
Keep running, keep running, tear down the wall
Keep running and running to nowhere at all
Keep moving, keep moving, further your probe
Keep moving and moving, encircle the globe
Keep sleeping, keep sleeping, your dreams are your friend
Keep sleeping and sleeping for your happy end
Don't wake up, don't wake up, for pests greet you there
Don't you ever wake up, you've run out of air
You've run out of air, you've run out of air
Don't you ever wake up, you've run out of air
You've run out of air, you've run out of air
Don't you ever wake up, you've run out of air
There's nothing left to fear, you'll spend forever here
A wish of eternal night granted for you out of spite
A sharpened blade, my friend, my bane, amethyst eyes staring back at me
I could not keep it all contained, red river running far as the eye can see
Looks like you're here again, when will the madness end
This little devil coming back but this time I'm on the attack
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Every ounce of passion in your veins, feed the raccoon
Gimme all you got, gimme all you got
Every ounce of guilt inside your brain, feed the raccoon
Feed the raccoon
I said get out of my head

Three
04:05
|

Three souls inside the void, three souls to make a toy, three souls to bring you joy
Three times you walked away, three times upon the day, three times it went your way
Three reasons for concern, three lessons yet to learn, three symptoms to discern
Three killed in cold blood, three left before the flood, three face down in the mud
I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, irregular heartbeat
One thing stands in my way now, it's just you and me now, enveloped in heat now
No I don't wanna believe it, why don't just leave it and never conceive it
I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, my final heartbeat
Three friends are lyin', three friends inside your head, three friends wrapped up in red
Three bloodied uniforms, two green eyes, heavy storms, one of us misinformed
No I don't wanna believe it, why don't just leave it and never conceive it
I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, my final heartbeat
My heart pounds, it won't stop
My heart pounds, it won't stop
My heart pounds, it won't stop
I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, irregular heartbeat
One thing stands in my way now, it's just you and me now, enveloped in heat now
No I don't wanna believe it, why don't just leave it and never conceive it
I would follow in your footsteps in a heartbeat, my final heartbeat

Hanging by a Thread
04:38
|

Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets
Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets
Learning how to love you leave your blood on the trail
Look at the sky above and down comes a steel rail
It'll lead you where your heart yearns, through jagged twists and over cliffside turns
Break your hands and knees to try and follow along
Tell Yo Mama "please I just want to belong"
And down comes the bridge into a mountain ridge
My hands destroy, heart feels no joy, brain cannot think, my soul shrinks
My hands destroy, heart feels no joy, brain cannot think
Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets
Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets
Learning how to walk until trenchfoot sets in
Learning how to think until the devils get in
Pain and paranoia, they contemplate how to destroy ya
Break yourself in pieces, part by part
Break yourself 'til you've become a work of art
And down comes the light to set your thinking right, and it goes away
My hands they shake, my heart it breaks, brain rotting down, soul's not around
My hands they shake, my heart it breaks, brain rotting down
Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets
Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets
For a fleeting moment I'm as free as a starling
But there's chains around my feet, feathers fallin' off my wings
Hanging by a thread, and it's wrapped tightly 'round my neck, Is this as good as it gets
Don't mourn me when I'm dead, do not think of the shipwreck, make sure everyone forgets
Make sure everyone forgets
Make sure everyone forgets
Make sure everyone forgets

I'll Be Your Martyr
05:32
|

Here in my confusion, is it just illusion that I strive for common good
Here on the altar, I spilt all the water and stole all the bread 'cause I could
My body's a temple, my soul is a priest, the whole congregation sees through all I preach
The answer is simple, I just need relief, but everything I look for slips right out of reach
Right out of reach
I'll be your martyr, cut out my eyes for your lenses
I'll be your offering, harvest my mind for your senses
I'll be your devil, when someone needs to hold blame
I'll be your martyr, I'll the crown with no shame
Here in my frustration, my own sick creation, the fires I light to consume
Here on the altar, I spilt all the water, but still the flames conquer the room
My body is broken, my soul is a mess, the whole congregation in a line to confess
Tear the skin open, reject your caress, run now to safety, it's all for the best
It's all for the best
I'll be your martyr, cut out my tongue to give you voice
I'll be your offering, hit me until I've been destroyed
I'll be your devil, and rot away in your darkest place
I'll be your martyr, he who's shame divides time and space
I'll be your martyr, cut out my eyes for your lenses
I'll be your offering, harvest my mind for your senses
I'll be your devil, when someone needs to hold blame
I'll be your martyr, I'll the crown with no shame

Rivers
07:32
|

[Electric piano solo]
The infinite potential trickles down from mountains of doubt
Running over cliff walls and down to bustling wood
Rivers of life's beauty, branching far and ever so out
Granting the creatures here the power of 'could'
Granting the creatures here the power of 'could'
A fish is life to a man who catches the wriggling thing
And presents his daily catch to a village so admiring
A fish has poisoned the man with epiphany and greed
He has made up his mind to catch more than he'll need
He has made up his mind to catch more than he'll need
Rivers of life, rivers of death, you will decide
[Guitar solo]
The infinite potential stagnates, forming wetlands and marsh
And man sits down beside it, and sets up his bustling towns
The endless riches run out as nature turns all harsh
And the people have taken notice to the thorns in their crowns
And the people have taken notice to the thorns in their crowns
A fish is life to a man who catches the wriggling thing
And presents his daily catch to a village, broken and starving
A fish has poisoned the man with epiphany and greed
He has made up his mind and this warning he'll never heed
He has made up his mind and this warning he'll never heed
Rivers of life, rivers of death, you will decide
Rivers of life, rivers of death, you will decide

Craters

Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist
Holes are deep and proud here on my wall, hand and plaster meet with a kiss
Tell me I'm not on my own in feeling all alone
Here in the crowd overflowin' with sound, tellin' you it's too loud everywhere around
Inside the silent sun our hearts will beat as one
Won't you run from your happy, warm gun, it's the prize you have won
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out
Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist
Holes are deep and proud here on my wall, waiting for the life I have missed
Tell me I'm not on my own in feeling all alone
Pain in my head, spending days in bed, pillow's turning red, am I really dead
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out
Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist
Holes are deep and proud here on my wall, hand and plaster meet with a kiss
Craters on a moon made of drywall, asteroids in the shape of a fist
Holes are everywhere
On my wall
On my wall
On my wall
On my wall
