Cybernoia

You don’t have permission to think the thoughts you do
Can’t you feel this friction creeping over you?

I know it won’t hurt a bit and you mean all the best
You’ll have to stop this reasoning or end up like the rest

They’re gonna disconnect you
Isolation is control

Now you’re in this Hell
You don’t have a voice
Surrender to their will
Compliance is not a choice

Are you authorized?
You know they’re watching you
You could try to hide
But they’ll only find you

I tried to warn you off but you wouldn’t heed my calls
They see everything you are; blood runs through these walls

Rules exist for your protection you ungrateful open mind
You can’t fight the system if you’re locked up for the rest of time

Now we’re in this Hell
We don’t have a voice
Surrender to their will
Compliance is not a choice

Are you authorized?
You know we’re watching you
You could try to hide
But we’ll always find you

You don’t have the right
To question what we do
Don’t bother with goodbyes
No one will ever hear from you

In My Head

Ten minutes in heaven
Floating in a sea of love
Your waves, they pushed me away
And I was left with dreams above

Ten years I’ve been waiting
(Waiting) for you to answer my call
But I, little did I know
That there was no you at all

So put me in the coat again
With straps and buckles end to end
Cause even if I’m crazy
It’s crazier denying you

I feel it now, I felt it then
I found a new friend in my head
It doesn’t matter if it’s all in vain
It doesn’t matter!
It doesn’t matter cause this pain is real

A god in my little world
A place for me to rest my head
My God, oh how you were my girl!
And I might as well have been dead!

They tell me that I’m crazy
But it’s crazier denying me

Cause I feel it now, I felt it then
I found a new friend in my head
It doesn’t matter if it’s all in vain
It doesn’t matter!
It doesn’t matter cause this pain is real

Can’t deny it (what makes me tick)
When you were so part of it
Cause mind is matter if I feel it
(All this time and all this forfeit)

Can’t deny it (what makes me tick)
Can’t deny it (what makes me sick)

Cause I feel it now, I felt it then
I found a new friend in my head
It doesn’t matter if it’s all in vain
It doesn’t matter!
It doesn’t matter cause this pain is real

It doesn’t matter
I found a new friend in my head
It doesn’t matter if it’s all in vain
It doesn’t matter!
It doesn’t matter cause this pain is real

Love, Myself

When you wake up in the morning and you don't like what you see
Take a look into the mirror what it's like to be me
If you want to end it all, think about what you would miss
Before you go to sleep at night I love myself, I wish

When you've got no shows to play (There's no reason to rehearse)
Can you tie me up in tape? (I think I'm getting worse)
Can I get my life to rhyme?
Or is it time to say "good night?" I'm sure you'll love me after this

When you wake up in the morning and you don't like what you see
Take a look into the mirror what it's like to be me
If you want to end it all, and you want to kill yourself
Before you go to sleep at night make sure you write "Love, myself"

When you've lost all chance of hope and there's nothing you've got left
Can you fake another show with those who know you best?
Are you going home tonight or are you sleeping in the dirt?
What can I risk to lose? I love myself it hurts

When you wake up in the morning and you don't like what you see
Take a look into the mirror what it's like to be me
If you want to end it all, and you want to kill yourself
Before you go to sleep at night make sure you write "Love, myself"

Rain Over Washington

Dark clouds they are coming my way

It's not the point, it's the method that's key
Results were most important to me
If I have to hurt somebody
Well it's going to be you
I promise it's not what I meant to do

Dark clouds they are coming my way
Dark clouds are coming my way

Rain cries over Washington
It pours down the Capitol
Flood rolls down the streets of my home
Taking us with it

The wind cries "Mary," but we cry "foul"
Through thick and humid air lightning crashes down
If somebody has to hurt me
Well I hope that it's you
I'm not really sure what we're going to do

Dark clouds are coming my way

Rain cries over Washington
It pours down the Capitol
Flood rolls down the streets of my home
Taking us with it

Rain cries over Washington
It pours down the Capitol, pours down the Capitol
Flood rolls down the streets of my home
Taking us with it
Taking you with it

Restless

Tired eyes stare in the dark, tracing forms unseen
I’m not waking or in slumber but somewhere in between

You say I’m never there for you but I’m not there for me
My mind is spinning so quickly I can’t fall asleep

I’m restless
Why can’t I be still just this once?
I’m wasted
I can’t control my impulses

A million pieces scattered before me
I can’t pick them up myself
The pills - they don’t work anymore
Just like everything else

I’m restless
Why can’t I be still just this once?
I’m wasted
I can’t control my impulses

I can do anything but I won’t see it through
The more I separate myself the less I see of you

It’s too bad that I can’t stay since I don’t have to go
I can’t explain the reason because I don’t really know

I’m restless
Why can’t I be still just this once?
I’m wasted
I can’t control my impulses

The Only One Left

It’s so quiet you can hear the sound of nothing
The streets are all deserted
And haze obscures the stars
The animals all travel in packs
And then there’s me, I am alone
I am alone

Nameless terrors stalk the skies like glowing embers
From a fire which is dying but fighting to survive
How can I go on when there’s nothing left to this world?
Where should I go?

The story may be over but the struggle’s just beginning
The past cannot be changed
Only my life

What’s the point in sticking around?
When everything is gone and never coming back
There’s a difference between feeling alone
And being the only one left
The last one

The story may be over but the struggle’s just beginning
The past cannot be changed
Only my life

Darkness claimed us all
What of those promises?
The world that’s laid before me feels all wrong

It burns, it burns my skin like fire
But the world is wrapped in winter
We’re so fucking stupid
So very stupid

If anyone can find this, please go back and tell them
Warn them before it’s too late
And if they won’t listen, take me away
Only me

Whatever It Takes

Lights, camera, action on humanity
A falling bee hive called society
And we’re busy looking for the next story

Bite down hard and don’t let go
We’re here for the ride so enjoy the show
We’re ringmasters in this little game we play
Of killing all the kings and nobody’s there to save the day

Stripping off their crowns, just so I move up.
So put on that frown, time for your closeup.

Take two, spotlight on your latest prey
Take three lives by the end of day
Can’t worry bout whoever you do on the way

A little trip can twist into a major fall
Tastes best when you find them in the raw
They feed off of it like rats of Hamelin
Ready to concede their ability to question

Breaking them all down, so I can stand up.
So put on that frown, time for your closeup

Everyone go to the table saw
Everyone cut off your left arm
Everyone is tryin’ to see
Where the blood is comin’ from

Everybody go to the table saw
Everybody cut off your left arm
Yet everybody struggles to see
Where the blood is coming from

Nothing to stand on, now I can’t stand up.
Look at all the frowns, now I can give up.
