Parasitic Twin
04:00

|
I love my parasitic twin
He keeps me desperate and thin
He keeps me warm at night and sings songs
That only I can hear
His head is lodged in my chest
His legs are dangling from my waist
The doctors want to operate
They say that he's a waste of space
But I love my parasitic twin
We have the same birthday
He always faces the same way
And I know he'll need me always
I love my parasitic twin
He makes me feel so important
He keeps me up some nights shaking
And fills me up with fear
His sadness lodged in my heart
He clings to life with my arms
And I know I have to be brave
Because his soul is mine to save
And I love my parasitic twin
We have the same heart rate
He always faces the same way
And I'll be with him always
My parents didn't want me
Some say it was because of him
But I guess I'll never really know
Unlike them, I never had the chance to let him go
Not that I didn't try a couple times
Such a cowardly method of suicide
I ultimately realized that hurting him
Was a fate worse than death
We are blessed, we are blessed
I love my parasitic twin
I know that nobody else will
Cause even if I let them see him
They don't believe that he's real
But I know he is, because I am
And I know that he understands
Because no matter where I go
I never ever feel alone
I love my parasitic twin
We share the same fate
He always faces the same way
And I know I'll need him always
I love my parasitic twin

This Is the Shit
04:06
|
|||
|
At the end of my vacation
I learned that I'd be stayin'
I learned that I was home
And right at that very moment
I realized how much that place did suck
And I wanted to leave so bad
At the height of my hunger
I looked into the mirror
And saw that I was eating a candy heart
I spit it out, and I ran around the block three times
Collapsed on the ground
And I said to myself "This is the life, this is the life
This is the shit
This is the shit
Fuck this shit
This is so fucked up and I love it so much"
Right before my operation
The laughing gas they gave me
Brought some crazy thoughts into my head
I dreamed I was nowhere
When I woke up I'd forgotten how to get there
And there was blood everywhere
It was fucking awesome
Now the day I saw you, lover
In the arms of another
Well, I knew that I'd arrived
Yes, I belong here
And my fear belongs in my heart
And my heart holds a place for pain always
You're so fucked up and I love you so much
You are the shit
You are the shit
You crazy bitch
You're so fucked up and I love you so much
I am the shit
I am the shit
I'm full of it
I'm so fucked up and I love it so much
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
We're so fucked up
Oh yeah
We're so fucked up
We're so fucked up
And we belong here
And our fear belongs in our hearts
And our hearts will be full of pain always

Welcome
To your worst fear
To your bad idea manifested
Face your worst fears
Taste your worst ideas
Manifested
Come on down and claim your prize
Come on feel the pain you've justified
It'll do you good
Come in
We're all friends here
We're your bad ideas, your recesses
Have you found us yet?
Welcome
We're all friends here, yeah
We'll rid you of those fears
We'll manifest them
Come on down and claim your prize (come on feel the pain)
Come on feel the pain you've justified
(I believe in bad ideas)
Break the law where it applies (your pain will make you wise)
And bring this cracked contingency to life
(I believe in bad ideas)
It'll do you good
Come out and admit you lied (there's no place left to hide)
Your tears will make you feel so satisfied
(I believe in bad ideas)

Just Yesterday
04:34
|
|||
|
It seems like just yesterday
That today was tomorrow
And the day before yesterday was
Just yesterday
It seemed like I knew who I was
But that was only a childish dream
Am I not me
Cause I didn't see my future correctly?
Am I not me?
Well I don't want to be not me
It seems like just yesterday
That everything was borrowed
Conditional, temporary
These days
I'm certain I want what I've got
But I sure don't have all I need
Well don't I need all those things?
And in the meantime, could I still be happy?
Or am I not me?
Cause I certainly didn't expect to be
I will take this moment
To stand on my own feet again
I will take this moment
And try to make believe
In what I see
It seems like just yesterday
All my strifes and sorrows
Were sleeping bags zipped around me
These days
It's lovely to get out of bed
But it's scary to be so free
Am I not me
Cause I didn't keep that promise I knew I'd keep?
Am I not me?
Oh Mommy, can you see me trying?
I will take this moment
To stand on my own feet again
I will take this moment
And try to make believe
In what I see
It seems like just yesterday
That everything was just about to change
But that was so long ago
And it still seems the same
It seems I should remember
But I can't really say
What led me astray
Well, it's okay
Cause I will take this moment
To live for now and for then again
I'll give in to the current
And put that dream to bed
And out of my head
It seems just like yesterday
I've got an idea for a song no one ever will sing

Tomorrow's Another Day
04:06
|
|||
|
Tomorrow's another day
And you know I just can't wait
For you to tear my heart out all over again
I know you're thinking of me
And whether you know it or not
You need me, as I need you
As it should be
Tomorrow's a brand new day
But please don't hesitate
To shatter me to pieces all over again
You don't know what you're missing without me
And whether you like it or not
I'm gonna be around a lot
Yeah, I'll be around
Cause I can't take
Myself away from you
I tried to run, I tried to hide (oh oh oh)
And you can't take
Anything away from me
That you don't already have
So you just keep on breaking me
And putting me back together
Breaking me and putting me back
Together again
And in the end I'm not sure
If you're really my friend
But I can't wait for tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day
Tomorrow's another day and you know I just can't wait

Fall of an Empire
02:58
|
|||
|
Who says I'm not free?
Who says I should be waiting
For somebody to complete me?
Who says I'm not me?
Empty vows could never lure me
And loneliness will never desert me
A falling out has been convened
There's shadows crawling around
The one you love, the one I need
The shadows of our shallow dreams
The ones we have tried to defend
Have stolen up and struck us down again
Who says I'm not free?
Who says I should be waiting
For somebody to teach me?
I just can't believe
Anyone that doesn't know me
Society will never control me
A falling out has been convened
There's shadows crawling around
The one I love, the one you need
The shadows of our shallow dreams
The ones that we tried to condemn
Have wormed their ways into our hearts again
And when they leave it's never easy
To say goodbye
It's the fall of an empire
Wave your white flag high.
Who says I'm not free?
Who says I should be waiting
For somebody to need me?
Who says I should bleed
For all those who chose to scorn me?
Their abuse was not what formed me
A falling out has been convened
There's shadows crawling around
The one you love, the one I need
The shadows of our shattered dreams

this is not my first time doing something like this
this is not my first time out on this limb
but this cardboard cutout of my heart
sure seems brand new
this is not my first time going in over my head
this is not my first time falling in love
but this cardboard cutout of my heart
sure don't come easy, baby
well you don't say!
ain't that a shame?
you don't say
anything
clearly maybe i have overstepped my boundaries
or maybe i'm just foolish to think you could care
but this cardboard cutout of my heart
i hold true
this cardboard cutout of my heart
i present to you
well you don't say!
you just stand there
and you don't say
anything
anything
anything

Come See Me
03:04
|
|||
|
If you leave me alone
Alone, then, shall I be
If I try waking up
I'll fall right back asleep
Fall down on my knees
Begging them to lift me up
If you should give me love
Your love will cover me
If I try giving up
My hands will not agree
They'll hold onto the dream
Hold on till I scream out loud
You should come see me tonight
Cause that's the only way I'll feel alright
There's nothing I can do
To make me not want you
If you leave me alone
I will not be angry
If you should let me know
You never did love me
It wouldn't change a thing
The song would still sound just the same
All I've left to say to you
Is that I never meant to fall for you
I never meant to be the way I am
So all that I can do is tell you that
If you should give me love
Your love will cover me
If you leave me alone
It's still inside of me
It comes out when I breathe
It makes its way across the sea
You should come see me tonight
Cause that's the only way I'll feel alright
There's nothing you can do
To make me not love you

"i'm not just a part to your whole.
i'm an individual.
i am heart and soul.
i'm an individual."
adam says he has a free will
but he never thought of where those words come from
and he says pretty much the same things as everyone
"i pick out my own clothes.
i'm an individual.
i blow the snot out of my nose.
i'm an individual."
adam says he has a free will
but he never could figure out where that snot comes from
and he has pretty much the same snot as everyone
inside his cell inside its organ inside its body inside its family inside its country
inside its planet by a medium-sized star
"i don't fit any part of your mold.
i'm an individual.
i can live on my own.
i'm an individual."

adam says he has a free will

the same snot as everyone inside his cell
inside its organ inside its body
inside its family inside its country
inside its planet by a medium-sized star
and he knows that nothing he could ever do
could make a dent in the path of the universe
as far as anyone could tell
and the order from a self righteous lord that the humans will have another war
doesn't matter much what you do or what you say
or the fact that we're all the same
'cause it's happened 100 million times before
and it'll probably happen 100 billion more
but adam still believes that someday
he'll achieve override
"i'm the only one of my kind i've ever known.
i am the original.
i can go wherever i want to go.
i'm an individual.
i can do it on my own.
i'm driving. i'm driving today.
i'm driving. i'm driving this way,"
said adam, the great big star.

Clear Night
05:09
|
|||
|
I don't know anybody else that lives on my street
I doubt anyone around here has ever noticed me
I guess it's kinda funny, how lonely I've been
Everyone's forgotten me, but I can't seem to forget them
On a clear night, I can see for miles
The remains of a past from which I've been exiled
And I cannot explain my faith
That this dark, sad state will make me great
I have a vague memory of hurting someone so deep
And thousands of promises I never could keep
I have a faint inkling of lies and deceit
And it's hard to reconcile my eyes
With the things I should never have seen
In the bright light, I can see my flaws
But I can also see through them--I see a cause
My doubts are cast away by faith
That all my mistakes are making me great
I just have to tell you, just one more time
I've been waiting for you for all my life
I always knew that I needed this
I always knew that something was missing
I always knew that you existed
I always knew that someone was listening
On a clear night, I can see for miles
Stretching backwards and forewards, I'm still the same child
And I cannot explain this faith
That has taken shape and lead me to you
In the twilight, I can see your eyes
Beaming louder and brighter than a lifetime of lies
And I am swept away in faith
All of my mistakes have lead me to you
