Charade 03:56
It's darker than you can imagine when you turn off the lights I'm not afraid but I am trying to control the device You think it's tragic that your eyes won't let you read in the dark I sit and marvel at the way you just devour the art Exploring other lives Knocking them down to size Where do you think that the monsters will be coming from? We're turning tables now Explain exactly how You understand where the monsters will be coming from. Lay on the floor and think about the planets way out in space You're trying harder, but you cannot yet begin your escape The lights are flashing, the brighter ones are starting to fade You're uneventful and they're starting to believe your charade Exploring other lives Knocking them down to size Where do you think that the monsters will be coming from? We're turning tables now Explain exactly how You understand where the monsters will be coming from. Erasing Replacing What's left of you

I've never checked the weather and none of my friends believe me you've never seen my face but you're trying harder to read me i just took off my shoes but i'm already planning on leaving you ask me why, i simply say i thought that you would know it's hard to read you when you're typically brooding you only bought this house so you could start thinking of moving can't take you seriously with your constant need for improving you ask me why, i simply say i thought that you would know you're in the paper every day but nobody reads it you only sit and click your pen just to feel that you're needed you always sit facing the door just so you can see it you ask me why, i simply say i thought that you would know

Feel the temperature dropping, make sure no one gets hurt. When you lay down beside me you're kicking me to the dirt. One hundred times you've betrayed me, now it's one hundred and one. I'm gonna make you feel helpless. I'll leave you nowhere to run. How do you justify dodging personal fears never to realize the temperature's dropping in here? I watched as time slipped by right through my fingers and drowned. When you lay down beside me it feels like no one's around. One million times you've betrayed me, now it's one million and one. I'm gonna make you feel helpless. I'll leave you nowhere to run. How do you justify dodging personal fears never to realize the temperature's dropping in here? How do you justify dodging personal fears never to realize the temperature's dropping in here?

Die Alone 02:47
I don't wanna die alone but I won't pick up my phone I just wanna let you know i can visualize looking into your eyes i can't even watch the news without envisioning you I don't know what to do

Behave 03:04
Watch as all your dirty deeds go flying straight out of your mouth You know not now just what she needs but you can figure out somehow You can tell she lacks some faith she can tell you missed the mark to go a week without her face - like staring contests in the dark Walking circles while your lover tries to let you down Lonely feelings but you can't let this be over now Risky moves are gonna put you six feet in the ground boy, you better behave Risky late nights all alone trouble now and something tough for a week she'll go back home she's got your number, can't get enough drive her crazy, you drive her wild but feel that tension in your bones trouble now, you're just a child and you can't juggle on your own.

It's been a long time coming She's been running for miles I've been holding on to something was it hell or was it pride? I can't follow her anymore My gas pedal to the floor I can't tell if I'm alive Driving down I-55 She's still trying to retrieve him Shifting gears, slowing down Said she'd never raise her hand at him She can't turn back around I can't follow her anymore my gas pedal to the floor I can't tell if I'm alive Driving down I-55

Dead Horse 02:40
You seem so cool, you seem so righteous. I'm hypnotized, might be on nitrous. "I've never been part of something like this" - these words are false, the truth's behind us. Nothing's worse, nothing's better than watching you pull a double-header and flail around, though a fish is wetter. She's burning out. I'm glad I left her. "Hey," you said, "don't let the kids bring you down." "Damn," you said, "let's beat this DEAD HORSE around." Let's start a band, let's have a go, but six months in and it's still a "no." These other kids are all at the shows - I think there's something that you should know. We don't get high, we keep it clean but that doesn't fit your petty scene. We're working so hard you wouldn't believe. These are crazy times, times like these. "Hey," you said, "don't let the kids bring you down." "Damn," you said, "let's beat this DEAD HORSE around."

Better Off 03:10
Sleeping in on the weekends passing out on the floor not even wired for dreaming can't even read anymore bringing a gun to a knife fight casually cheating fate staying out of the limelight falling asleep at the gate you cannot slow me down you cannot knock me out you cannot break me down 'cause i'm just better off anyhow showing up for a slow day unaware of the time leave before you can get paid subtly laughing at mine coming up with excuses a reason for the offense shrug it off as "the new thing" but never do it again you cannot slow me down you cannot knock me out you cannot break me down 'cause i'm just better off anyhow

Blurry image / man in disgrace I can't forget / the look on his face It seems to me / my mind full of doubt You're tunneling in / I'm channelling out I hold the world inside the palm of my hand You can't deny it, but I can Not even God knows exactly what I am You can't deny it, but i can I scream and beg / I plead for help I know the answer / somebody else I cut the cord / cut my connections A faulty mirror / full of reflections I hold the world inside the palm of my hand You can't deny it, but I can Not even God knows exactly what I am You can't deny it, but i can

Fascination 03:16
Trace the lines there in the dark, The resting place now of your heart. Warmth and sense create the place, Tangled up in skin and lace. Fascination leads into obsession. Eyes would glow and pierce the mind, Twinkle lights and something kind. Another smile across your face, I will never leave this place. Fascination leads into obsession.
