V1
Choke myself but I don’t know how
I’m frustrated
I bite my tongue and the blood fills up my mouth
I suffocated
And I see sky writing on the inside of my eye lids
Concrete on a single pane
V2
Don't separate me from my heart and mind
Seperated
I never sought out 2 bits of any kind
Incarcerated
And I still try to
Beware of caution signs
CHS (Ah’s + Lyric below)
Beware of caution signs
V3
You can't fix what ain't broken on paper
You separate it
I feed the ants on my skin bourbon and mapel
Infatuated
BRIDGE
Infatuated
Infatuated
V4
Don't separate me from my heart and mind
Seperated
I never sought out 2 bits of any kind
Incarcerated
Just beware of caution signs
CHS (Ah’s)
Incarcerated x 8
Choke myself but I don’t know how
Beware of the caution signs
Choke myself but I don’t know how
Beware of the caution signs
Choke myself but I don’t know how
Beware of the caution sign

V1 & V3
How deep is this heart-sick matinee
Of false hope in a state of truth
Could this abruptly force itself, on you
PRE CHS
Lights up, check the marquee
Step back no flash photography
CHS
We’re nobody’s somebody
But we’re everybody’s nobody
On stage for all to show and tell
Could be everybody’s somebody
If they loved us more than our money
Encore let us all take a bow
As the curtain hit the ground
V2
Feel jacked up on cocaine and lemonade
Not addicted just a sweet tooth
Refreshments are on the house tonight for you
PRE CHS
Lights up, check the marquee
Step back no flash photography
Uh-oh
CHS
We’re nobody’s somebody
But we’re everybody’s nobody
On stage for all to show and tell
Could be everybody’s somebody
If they loved us more than our money
Encore let us all take a bow
As the curtain hit the ground

V1
I’ll count on you to walk away
You walk to fast for my taste
You fade in and fade out
I’ll take your body in my mouth
How it was taught to be
V2
Begin to end your watchful eye
Your perfect teeth, mile after mile
I look up, you look down criss cross your ashes all around
And give credit where credit’s due
½ CHS
Hold on tight because this world is your ride
No sense and no pride of the mass appeal
V3
Suddenly I’m hypnotized
With your back and forth, my hands are tied
You speak up, I sit down Incense and water all around
Call now cuz seats are selling fast
CHS
Hold on tight because this world is your ride
No sense and no pride of the mass appeal
Composing these notes I throw up these air quotes
reach right through the Holy Ghost
(For the father, son, and the Holy Ghost)

Vs 1
Up and down in and out turn the white noise up like you did before.
Unheard voices are quietly drowning out like they were before.
And the party favors they’re handing out fit nicely in your open mouth.
One for one take what’s ours then throw it all out, like we did before
Vs 2
Keep forgetting You’ve forgot that there’s more to forget, what I did before
Just ignore what was done instead of learning from it, like you did before
And sound of rain still washes out, different whispers in the north and south
Blind eyes open see less than healthy eyes shut, like they did before
Pre CHS
Criticize silence
With open violence
CHS 1/2
Famous disgraceful anger
Water roots of the lynching tree
Hey, what’s the big idea?
To draw lines instead of coloring?
V3
Build the bones on the backs of the folks who are lost, Like we’ve done before
Hijacked minds, yours and mine but you don’t see the fuss, never did before
As the Devil whispers in their ear
The Angels adjusts their rear view mirrors
All the eye on the wishbone are looking for luck,
(All the hands on the wishbone is pulling for luck)
like they’ve done before
CHS
Famous disgraceful anger
Water roots of the lynching tree
Hey, what’s the big idea?
To draw lines instead of coloring?
Rebuild those broken thoughts
Of the screams of the pain and the cities lost
When your patients are treated with gasoline
Bridge
Holy water, could wash away your nightmares
But holy water, will likely wash away your dreams
You’ll take it on the face as long as your accounts are safe
Cut your parents out of a magazines
CHS
When your patients are treated with gasoline
And the sky is fallen
When your patients are treated with gasoline
And the earth is crumbling
When your patients are treated with gasoline
And the air is toxic
When your patients are treated with gasoline

VS 1
A Nightmare explanation in a triangle of gold
The boy without a fairy finds his purpose to uphold
Awake in the great tree tops just to scour the forest floor
Through the twists and turs he grips his fists around his noble sword
CHS 1
And the wind did blow
A magic song with every note, note
Through the guided maps of broken wings and stolen lives
The boy answered his call
VS 2
Through fire, ice, and water his skills did sharpen fast
And the music of his manhood made a master of his class
He called upon the spirits from the graves of forgotten men
For the light to guide his journey through the shadow across the land
CHS 2
And the wind did blow
A magic song with every note, note
Through the guided maps of broken wings and stolen lives
The boy answered his call
And the man freed us all
VS 3
Crossing through the desert are men and child alike
The sage of his spirit has become his guiding light
CHS 2
VS 4
He arrives in the dark through a bridge made of stone
As his foe floats above him he slowly draws his bow
Emerging from the wreckage the monster does arise
As he plunges down his blade the beast meets his demise
