I see you glide across the stage
Playing host to the world
And all the eyes inside this place take hold
See you from across the way
I waited all damn night to say
Will you come along with me angel
I waited for that chance, it never came
Angels and Frogs
A tattooed limb and necklace bearing...
I see you glide across the stage
Playing host to the world
And all the eyes inside this place take hold
See you from across the way
I waited all damn night to say
Will you come along with me angel
I waited for that chance, it never came
Angels and Frogs
A tattooed limb and necklace bearing
The innocence that we have lost
How the night grows long, time has passed
We traded tales of loss and glory
And we continued on
And you ask in 5 years time, will I choose to take my life
And you ask in 5 years time, will I choose to take my life
I waited for that chance, it never came
Angels and Frogs
A tattooed limb and necklace bearing
The innocence that we have lost
How the night grows long, time has passed
We traded tales of loss and glory
And we continued on
And you ask in 5 years time, will I choose to take my life
And you ask in 5 years time, will I choose to take my life
And you ask in 5 years time, will I choose to take my life
And you ask in 5 years time

Lead Suits Of Armor

Leads suits of armor
We swear as a ship passes by
So sad for the ones that we lost on a dark night
Leads suits of armor
Dive in, kiss your passions goodbye
So sad for the ones that we lost on a dark night
Hearts are filled with rust, full of doubt
What’s this fuss about
Grabbing me like hooks
For all the lives it took
And we beg for mother’s sweet hand
Sinking further below is my plan
Constantly wading, the waves come and take me on down deep below
Leads suits of armor
We swear as a ship passes by
So sad for the ones that we lost on a dark night
Leads suits of armor
Dive in, kiss your passions goodbye
So sad for the ones that we lost on a dark night
Hearts are filled with rust, full of doubt
What’s this fuss about
Grabbing me like hooks
For all the lives it took
And we beg for mother’s sweet hand
Sinking further below is my plan
Constantly wading, the waves come and take me on down deep below
You’re over and done on a dark night
Over and done on a dark night
Over and done on a dark night
And we beg for mother’s sweet hand
Sinking further below is my plan
Constantly wading, the waves come and take me on down deep below

Silk Noose

From 8 to 5 I sit and watch the time
Moving slower than dead flies
Is this the rest of my life?
I tie the silk noose tight around my neck
Everyday a brand new mess
Get those numbers, be the best
Oooooh oooh I can’t, I can’t
Oooooh oooh I can’t, I can’t
Be the robot that meets all of your demands
I take a shower, get to hell in time
The devil watches me arrive
Stack of hopeless claims denied
Oooooh oooh I can’t, I can’t
Oooooh oooh I can’t, I can’t
Be the robot that meets all of your demands
At days end I’m more than tired
Hours long and oh so plenty
Tomorrow do it all again
Oooh will I make it through?
From 8 to 5 I sit and watch the time

Freedom For A Wage
03:13

We all wake by 9
Drive between the white and yellow lines
Couple minutes until we’re all confined
Another day of doing prison time
Welcome to your doom
Taking over your life, your life
Welcome to your doom
Taking over your life, your life
5 more dreadful days
Sacrificing freedom for a wage
Work myself into an early grave
Barely getting by, you have it made
Welcome to your doom
Taking over your life, your life
Welcome to your doom
Taking over your life, your life
We all wake by 9
Drive between the white and yellow lines
Couple minutes until we’re all confined
Another day of doing prison time
Welcome to your doom
Taking over your life, your life
Welcome to your doom
Taking over your life, your life
Ooooo oooooo ooooo oooo ooo ooo ooo

Celebration
To all slain hope
We can try to make the most
Blue oh so blue
Will it all pass in due time?
It’s been awhile, I’m still so lonely
Dont need to find
Someone who will stab my back
Sharpen up your steel
I won’t put up with you
I’m not like all the others
Someone with a pretty face
and heart as cold as steel
I won’t put up with you
You’ll just lie like all the others

We have all been through hard times
Remaining strong through many
But not this time
You had a bout against the world
Wishing death upon all girls
It’s over
Nice to seem some light behind those dark eyes
Finally feel like you lived down those lies
That no one knew
No hard feelings
Things will be alright
The pain I felt was well deserved
I hope it’s the last time
Stop blaming the ones you love
You’re the maker of your luck
Stop, this is a waste of breath
An optimistic view seems a bit much
We have all been through hard times
Remaining strong through many
But not this time
You had a bout against the world
Wishing death upon all girls
It’s over
Nice to seem some light behind those dark eyes
Finally feel like you lived down those lies
That no one knew
No hard feelings
Things will be alright
The pain I felt was well deserved
I hope it’s the last time
Stop blaming the ones you love
You’re the maker of your luck
Stop, this is a waste of breath
An optimistic view seems a bit much
It seems a bit much now
It seems a bit much
Stop blaming the ones you love
You’re the maker of your luck
Stop, this is a waste of breath
An optimistic view seems a bit much
Feeling positively out of touch
Feeling positively out of touch
Feeling positively out of touch now
Touch now

Maple

Standing by the interstate
The cars go by
I must find a quick way out
I need to hitch a ride down south
Instead I stare off into space
Frozen hands and a frost bit face
Wishing I was back in the United States
I'm watching cars go by
I pace around from street to street
Messages I’ve sent to sea
A simple plea to get me out of here
Oh well, I guess
It’s all about sheer lunacy, trapped inside this maple leaf
A heavy weight, a heart that has no beat
Standing by the interstate
The cars go by
I must find a quick way out
I need to hitch a ride down south
Instead I stare off into space
Frozen hands and a frost bit face
Wishing I was back in the United States
I’m watching cars go by
I need to rectify this situation best I can
I need to find a ride
Oh well, I guess
I’ll pace around these streets again
Messages I’ve sent to friends
A simple plea to get me out of here
Oh well, I guess
It’s all about sheer lunacy, trapped inside the maple leaf
A heavy weight, a heart that has no beat
Oh well, I guess
Oh well, I guess
I pace around these streets again
Messages I’ve sent to friends
and the cars go by

Not The One
04:19

Breathe in deep, relax and unwind
I think she’s really gone this time
It’s your fault for falling in love again
Let it go, pretend that she died
Please don’t even waste your time
It’s your fault for falling in love again
When you thought she was the one
Like a bullet from a gun
Shattered all you had inside
Ran off with another guy
Not the one
Find it very hard to get sleep
You haven’t eaten for a week
It’s your fault for falling in love again
Lost some weight, your skin has gone pale
Things attempted often fail
It’s your fault for falling in love again
When you thought she was the one
Like a bullet from a gun
Shattered all you had inside
Ran off with another guy
Not the one
For your sake I hope she dies
Along with her, that other guy
Still you think that she’ll be back and my fear as that your right
Not the one
When you thought she was the one

Still you think that she’ll be back and my fear as that your right
