Track Lyrics
Prancer Lyrics
[Intro]
How could it all be
We've never been dead
But never awake from this dream
How could it all be
We’ve never been dead
Just mirrors running scared
Slicing wrists while we look for our own mortality
[Verse 1]
All the lights went out cold
Shadow covers the soul
Essence of the world made ceremonial
Now we all wait for the demise
[Verse 2]
What was the question?
Why do you need an answer?
We make me nauseous
I guess it just means I need us
Ripe for me to eat your juice runs sweet
Never so good
Funny how nothing chips away at us like us
Check the unlocked door but it's still locked
Always locked
[Break]
Always locked
Always locked
[Verse 3]
Talk to me across the way as if you don't even know me
And as if I could never give even half a fuck at all
For the record there is never anyone controlling
Our trajectory is ours
Funny thing is when this is all just memories
Looking back will be the same as moving forward
I'll probably give anything to try to go back in time
Time when I didn't have to
Empty lips just for distraction
Rip the demons from their sleep
Fornicate inside me
Gouge my eyes out so I'll never weep
[Outro]
How could it all be
We finally figured this shit out
And now you'll see that you were all wrong
But you were all just mirrors running scared
Just some ghosts wearing my skin
Trying to disbelieve it
Fuck you now try to disbelieve it
Fuck you now try to disbelieve it
Fuck you now try to disbelieve it
Oh fuck you now try to disbelieve it
When I Lost My Bet Lyrics
[Intro]
Take, take what you can
You're entitled to the prize
Fill you up with
All that you can take
Take what you can
You're the princess and the prince
Fill you up with
All that you can take
[Verse 1]
I heard that you were the last to leave
The party you just had to see
Where everybody had to be the best in town
Heard they tried to kick you out
'Cause you were foaming at the mouth
Holding ground you had to play
'Cause who knows what you'll win today
[Verse 2]
You've got to figure out how high you'll get by doing nothing
Opportunity presents itself at every turn
Stick around you never know whose ego you can stroke
Which mask to wear a rung to climb to suck up
Stick around you never know whose ego you can stroke
A rung to climb a pill a line a mask to hide your face
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm breaking out
Don't keep me down
I'm missing out, don't keep me
Hey, I'm freaking out
Don't turn me down
[Chorus]
You're getting there for sure
Real close, all over the bathroom floor
Who's getting it? You sure?
We need more
Never mind, the night's run out
[Verse 3]
Eyes are spinning
Look at me
You're winning
Can't you see?
Lights colliding
You're spun out
You're climbing straight to the top
[Bridge]
(Your fortune still waiting)
You keep climbing
Straight to the top
(Your fortune still waiting)
Yeah!
On your hands and knees so you can
[Break]
Take all that you can
All that you can
All that you can
All that you can take
It's getting so close that you can taste it
It's getting so close that you can taste it
Woah!
It's getting so close
[Chorus]
You're getting it for sure
Your clothes, all over the bedroom floor
Who's getting it? Are you sure?
Need more
Never mind, just get out
One of Us Is the Killer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She moves abstract just
Like a shadow dancing on the edge
Like a storm cloud passing overhead
Effort-less and free
As the hours rush by
Through her I can sense the end of time
There’s no way this can forever shine
Make the sun not rise
[Chorus]
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive
[Verse 2]
She moves abstract just
Like a shadow dancing on the edge
Like a storm cloud passing overhead
Hypnotizing me
As the hours rush by
Through her I can sense the end of time
Stretch into eternity divine
And the sun won't rise
[Chorus]
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
And the killer won’t survive
[Bridge]
And the killer won't survive
Survive
Survive
[Chorus]
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
But the killer won’t survive
In the air we tried to be
But you shot your arrow through me
Now one of us must die
And the killer won’t survive
And the killer won't survive
Hero of the Soviet Union Lyrics
[Intro]
Took my lover to the sea
Drowned him precious bride to be
Bleeding heaven from the start
Woe is rapture ripped apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey you’re honest, aren’t you?
Show me rapture torn apart
Everybody’s riddled with disease
But I bet you say, “not me”
So honest, aren’t you?
You’re so honest, aren’t you so?
[Chorus]
My, aren’t you
Surely finest of the brigade?
My, aren’t you
Always right a portrait of dignity?
My, aren’t you
Innocent and never suspectable
My, aren’t you
[Breakdown]
Wait
You smell like shit, not the truth
Full of device, not devotion
Conscience came right up to you
And then you threw it back
[Bridge]
You are the scum of the earth
You are the scum of the ocean
To you it’s above as below
[Outro]
You smear your filth across the world
You smear your filth across the world
You smear your filth across the world
You smear your filth across the world
Nothing’s Funny Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re an image pale that points and laughs
White mistress in a fiery bath
Now tie me down and take me home, I’m not afraid to go
Now tie me down and take me home, I’m not afraid to go
[Pre-Chorus]
(Shake the roots off of the trees)
Your conscience fades
(Eyes have no vision to see)
Your soul degrades
(Grey follows in front of me)
You’ve lost your way
(Every life is but a death to me)
[Chorus]
Eventually the jokes aren’t free
And nothing’s ever fun and nothing’s funny
[Verse 2]
Blunt self believe, too big to fall
Lead shadow stands just inches tall
I hope to God you never die
(Your joke is just my type)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Shake the roots off of the trees)
Your conscience fades
(Eyes have no vision to see)
Your soul degrades
(Grey follows in front of me)
You’ve lost your way
(Every life is but a death to me)
[Chorus]
Eventually the jokes aren’t free
And nothing’s ever fun and nothing’s funny
But now I see that the joke’s on me
And nothing’s ever fun and nothing’s funny
[Bridge]
(Don't be scared)
(Don’t be scared)
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
Don’t be scared
[Chorus]
Eventually the jokes aren’t free
And nothing’s ever fun and nothing’s funny
But now I see that the joke’s on me
And nothing’s ever fun and nothing’s funny
[Outro]
Your joke is just my type
Crossburner Lyrics
[Intro]
I just could not believe
That so much could be achieved
Are you for real?
Were you for real?
I caught you by the throat
And tried to squeeze
But you weren't real
You were not real
[Verse 1]
Turn your boat you stow away
It’s better there here’s not okay
I’m sorry it’s so far away
You break your back for little things
Like compliments and wedding rings
I hate that little song you sing
That song you sing
[Chorus]
Turn your boat you stow away
It’s better there here’s not okay
I’m sorry you’re far away
[Post-Chorus]
Turn your boat around you stow away
[Verse 2]
Seems you can’t stop making sound
But nothing I can’t read about
Your 2 cents fall right on the ground
Right on the ground
[Chorus]
Turn your boat you stow away
It’s better there here’s not okay
I’m sorry it’s so far away
[Post-Chorus]
Turn your boat around you stow away
[Bridge]
I just could not believe
So much could be achieved
Are you for real?
Were you for real?
Cause you don’t listen
You never listen
You don’t listen
You don’t listen
I've caught you by the throat and tried to squeeze
But you weren't real
You were not real
Why’d I never listen
[Chorus]
Turn your boat you stow away
It’s better there here’s not okay
I’m sorry we’re so far away
I’m sorry we’re so far away
I’m sorry we’re so far away
The Threat Posed by Nuclear Weapons Lyrics
[Intro]
I spoke to the sky but God was silent because I knew
So easy to be rolled into a tomb
Stripped of all desires
So easy to be
So easy to be rolled into a tomb
So easy to be rolled into a tomb
Into a tomb
Old tears spice the soil
New taste to pave the path
My medium
[Chorus]
We were so compelled, and I shook when I saw: you were the “I” recognized
Now that it’s cold and the core never thaws, I found you to keep me alive
[Breakdown]
Please run far and go faster
I’m a cancer for your life so leave
But still you’re weaving your hair into rags
[Outro]
Fast-forward to far away
We’ve never changed
We just need to stalk our prey to make us stay
We’re fucking spiders spinning to pass the time
Soul dividers, eating our kind alive
You, child, don’t you go forgetting mistakes or they’ll keep reliving
Marrow numbered, you awakened
Now let’s burn this we created
