All Mother: "I am always awake. What do you require of me?"
Sirius Amory: "You'll stay with me won't you?"

If you had the courage to stop me from turning
Into what would be the worst in everybody's eyes
Hey, I'm no angel or the devil of your conscience
To tell you who to be, good, bad, ugly, or otherwise
If you had good common sense
Your choices would be gleaming, flawless
I want no part in this self-deprecating
Worthless chemistry
We made our beds to lie in them, proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade
Turn about-face
I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
Oh, you think they have it all while you were left with nothing
Oh, oh, you've taken the fall for them to walk all over
You made your bed, so soft and comforting
These dreams await the grey good morning
We made our beds to lie in them, proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade, turn about-face
I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
Oh, we've got you by the throat
Ha-ha-ha, all you wanna be...
Welcome all, to the everlasting all-time low
Please put your hands together
For the ever-failing one man show...
Domino
Ladies and broken gentlemen
The undisputed champ of misery
Oh, and in this corner, we find his challenger
The pride of utopia, the greatest thing ever
If you could recall one moment of your past
That defined you to be, that made you the man
We've come to love, all of the above
This disaster binds us, absolute
A thousand lies, you tell yourself
That no one ever loved you right
Oh, but I would do anything for you
The question fits the question mark
Your signals crossed, your message lost
Ha-ha!
This wall won't hold, forever
Your time has come, it's now or never
We made our beds to lie in them, proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of its blade
Turn about-face
I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war
One by one
We are together! We fall together!
One by one
We are together! We fall together!
Now, my brother, don't be afraid
We are together! We are together!
Brother...
We are together! We fall together!

The Afterman
03:11

She gave her heart to a falling star
When news filtered through of his tragedy
All the walls went up
Around a world, she declines
As the tears from her eyes fall
No one understands and no one will
All she has lost
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
When she found it, there
In the cold, blue glare
The words distressed and unfamiliar
Where the feelings seared
An emptiness had hung
And in her chest, she clenched
Reality settled as the memories raced
While on the screen, he lived
She teared; "Your selfishness has robbed you
Of the man you could've been
I wouldn't change a thing about you
I love you dearly, my friend"
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
My love, been searching for my Afterman
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
My love, been searching for my Afterman

Mothers Of Men

In this space where nothing will seem too right
Our voice unheard in this quiet fight
This march we lead will breed our song
To them we're nothing, to them we're pawns
Oh, a desperate play to feel like we belong
Now, as we take up into the streets, remember
I depend on you as much as you on me
Don't try to fake it, let's not pretend
We made you mothers, we made you men
We made you mothers, we made you men
Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
"We'll behave, oh, we'll behave"
So just keep running
Everything will look better once you look away
Cause what's the difference?, oh, is there a difference we make?
(Your day will come...)
The rain starts dancing across our backs
These ardent words seize this heart attack
Belief still strong, we can make this change
The stage is set to occupy the brain
This stage is, we made this, we made this...
We made it!
Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said (To what we're saying...)
And in your absence we promised you
"We'll behave, oh, we'll behave" (We misbehaved...)
So just keep running
Everything will look better once you look away
Cause what's the difference, oh, is there a difference we make?
Between a dapper villain in a Sunday serial at the podium
Or another cog in the wheel
Just another cog in the wheel
They're both capable of making life hard
No bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I give?
Between, between, between
Between, between, between
Between, between, between
Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said (To what we're saying...)
And in your absence we promised you
"We'll behave, oh, we'll behave" (We misbehaved...)
So just keep running
Everything will look better once you look away
Cause what's the difference, oh, what's the difference
In making life hard?
No bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I live with this?
No difference...

Goodnight, Fair Lady
03:23

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you of one slow decline
Where a girl yanked on the strings
To break this man's heart
Oh lord, I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So, I'll just keep humming this song
And hope you follow
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
I know you will
Oh, I know you will
Your lipstick crazy, I make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with the kindness of my smarts
I replace your pleasure with a friend at the bottom
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
I know you will
Oh, it's my fate
To be your biggest mistake
Oh, I'll tell you all you want to hear
Until you sleep
I know you will...
Oh, goodnight
Oh, goodnight, fair lady
Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
And eventually, you'll come to me
We can agree to disagree
Well, maybe that was you then, and now this is me
But eventually, you'll come to me, baby
I know you will...
(All-Mother: "Caution: Second entity identified.")

Wait in line
There's no medicine
That can fix that mind
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Oh, watch out! Here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun
Message, panicked
A naked waste
There's no help to give this one
To keep her sane
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Oh, watch out! Here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun
Look out, boy!
She's a few cards short of a full deck
A joker in the game, oh
She's got a bullet with your name on it
No doubt she's a mental case, oh
Better keep that girl away
Poor Holly Wood
She is cracked goods
Poor Holly Wood
This may be the last time I say
This may be the last time I say
Oh, poor Holly Wood
She is cracked goods
Poor Holly Wood
Oh, she's cracked, she's cracked
And where she's gone
There's no coming back
Watch her fingers
She's gonna pull the trigger
Then the party's over
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Oh, watch out! Here she comes

You made this harder than it had to be
The absolute marker, etching into me
You flashed your colors at me way prematurely
Now I know what you're up to
And it feels so good, it's right
We've got your number written
Reset the system screaming
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
These sitting ducks in season
The march of little children
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
The truth will cut you down to pieces
184, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think about us
I listened to them chuckle as they eat
Their judgement hiding behind eyes and dirty teeth
You think I care for all these phony pleasantries
When I want nothing to do
I want nothing to do with your life
We've got your number written
Reset the system screaming
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
These sitting ducks in season
The march of little children
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
The truth will cut you down to pieces
184, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think about us
Baby, I'm bad company and you don't have a mark
You're the prettiest thing I have ever seen
Come with me, I want to make you dirty
184, let's burn it down
I'll need to change the way I think
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

This sinking warmth through obscurity
Beyond the sweet in between where and what you're doing
There is a view of an uncharted place
Where you're the brunt of a joke and everyone's laughing
I am not who I seem, who you thought I could be
The support you could lean up against when you need
I'm the dark when you want the lights out at all costs
This is mine, that is yours, I'm the bricks in your wall
Goodbye forever, my darling
Whether I was everything you thought I'd be, or not
I was a bad man, ooh, to stop you, girl, from loving me, oh oh
Goodbye forever, my darling
Whether I was everything you thought I'd be or not
I was a bad man, ooh, to stop you, girl, from loving me, oh oh
A yearning loss to silence me
The struggle breaks the black and white, calling, transmitting
The echo breaks electric air
Her pulse, it stretches from never to everywhere
And from the other side, she'll save me
Her courage, strength, and heart beyond
I wish she'd stay mine, but her place is in some other time, oh oh
Goodbye forever, my darling
Whether I was everything you thought I'd be or not
I was a bad man, ooh, to stop you, girl, from loving me oh oh
Body separating, ascend and release
This tragedy is all my fault
Reaching desperately to salvage any piece
This tragedy is all my fault
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
And from the other side, she'll save me
Her courage, strength, and heart beyond
I wish she'd stay mine, but her place is in some other time, oh oh
Goodbye forever, my darling
Whether I was everything you thought I'd be or not
I was a bad man, ooh, to stop you, girl, from loving me, oh oh
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)

Subtraction
03:07

The hurt across your face
Your word against mine
The rhythm you repeat
The beat, a hair behind
Were you on my side?
You gave your all, but you gave it once
A lesson that you thought
You could teach it when you want
Subtract me from your heart
Little take away girl
(One step at a time)
You made us angry
(All your love could hide)
But we knew you were afraid
We accept, we unaccept
We made up, we're breaking up
You thought you had enough
But maybe you didn't know
That this stage holds a show
(One step at a time)
You showed us angry
(All your love could hide)
But we knew you were afraid
Misery, I digress
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back
Misery, I digress
No recourse, no remorse
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back

We drift away with the dust
The light consumes the dark recluse
No time to waste in this mess
I will retreat, no sin confessed
How did we get so lost away?
Who will repair this broken heart?
Who will repair this broken heart?
This world will miss none of us
The sick we cure, the bad we just
Who will repair this broken heart?
Who will repair this broken heart?

Believer
Your spotlight on the subject, so incorrect
And suggestion
Suggests that I am someone who you should not respect
Oh, you wear your facade so well
Covered up in a plastic shell
You're a liar to everyone around you
Just don't forget
Face the honest truth, you were never you
Now, be defiant, the lion
Give them a fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive!
And it's homecoming
And it's homecoming
Can you remember
When there was no wrong in what I can do?
So young
Biting off way more than I could chew
And then one day, I grew too old
And my cares were now theirs to mold
Please accept this as my resignation
It's time to go
Face the honest truth, you were never you
Now, be defiant, the lion
Give them a fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive!
Oh, I'm alive!
I will now bleed for what I believe in
No more mistakes for them to make for me
So goodbye, it's my time to be
To be me
To be...
Face the honest truth, you were never you
Now, be defiant, the lion
Give them a fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive!
I'm alive!
I'm alive!
I'm alive!

The Hard Sell

I'm paranoid and sick of this
World's misconception of things I did
My language poured across this wrist
In a metaphoric disaster
My guess, I'm missing half the punch line
Unless this hanging noose is fitted to be all mine
I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much
Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out to be in
(There's never enough)
(There's never enough)
Oh, you're selling out to be in
(There's never enough cool for all...)
These eyes ungoverned are tearing us apart
Their ears forsaken have given up on art
Now, why believe in anything they praise
When one hand holds them the victor
While the other holds the shovel to their grave?
I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much
Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out to be in
Oh, this ticket window has closed
Save your money, baby
The next show's about to start
Where else can you get to watch this talent fall
One by one, they drop
I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much
Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out
You're selling all of me
For too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it, you're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)
You're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)
You're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)
You're selling out to be in
(I stood by everything I loved)

Attention, we have got
A medical emergency
The patient's condition
Is critical and fading
Oh, I've got this under control
But there is no guarantee
Now, should you question this professional opinion
It's time we'll spend wasting
And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me
This case is possibly the worst
That I have ever seen
I see how vulnerable
We, as a people, can truly be
And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me
And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me

Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart, if you, honey

Gravity's Union

I flew head first into the light
Weightless, crisscrossing, precise
In a dream, or was it life?
Inside this door, all answers wait
So saddle up my steed
Where the lies live way beneath
Oh my, I think I've made a mess
This is all my fault, it's what I've wished
And I was wrong to let you go
I accept my mistake, but you will never know
This is my love into a ten-ton truck
Baby, please remember the better me
No time to change my life in the air before
Our maximum reach outweighed
Apart, picture-less retreat
The terror meets the truth, no longer who
We now know what we must do
Shadow-dancing through the roof
Contact the life you used to know
Gravity, the world in tow
And I was wrong to let you go
I accept my mistake, but you will never know
This is my love into a ten-ton truck
Baby, please remember the better me
Driver, may I sleep with you tonight?
Numbered uncertainty
City limits, shoe-strewn diary
The roar of the engine won't cease
All of my love and heart poured into this car
Picture me, the perfect enemy
Our lives are one, colliding up and beyond
In this fatal possibility
I am your, I am your prize
We wave welcome aboard
We wave welcome aboard
We wave welcome aboard
In my eyes, I drown you
Has he forgotten his place?
Bait the hook and let it sink
No cause for alarm
Enter the master, I am Dr. Straight
Scalpel, keep that lung in place
Nurse, IV needs refilling
Now watch the brain
Responding quite normal, this life I can save
Every man has a point where he breaks or conjoins
Among pressure that floods to complicate
Matters close to the heart will define who we are
Do we love? Do we hate? We are only the meat, meat, meat
We understood the unmistakable
Two romantics on holiday, and how they stole our love
Caged
Locked in perpetual motion
Carving our wounds wide open
But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha
Caged
Locked in perpetual motion
Carving our wounds wide open
But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha
Caged
Locked in perpetual motion
Carving our wounds wide open
But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha
Caged
Locked in perpetual motion
Carving our wounds wide open
But you let the wrong one in, ha ha ha ha

She is her own worst enemy
Her heart, a landmine calamity
Waiting for someone to set her off
Morse code a-clicking out an SOS
Life raft releasing her last breath
Tonight, she's gonna drown
Without me
Will she reach the great beyond?
Believe me, take my word
I'll never break your heart
And away we go
Ho-ho, ha!
My little Jersey girl
If we could escape this innocence
Trapped between the fear
And the words we kept
We'll live out our later years
Here, in our dreams
We'll reach a great beyond
Believe me, take my word
I'll never break your heart
And away we go
Sinking in this beautiful undertow
Together, with you
We're giving up
You can leave what little you believe
Our flaw, discard
Come give me what I need
My thoughts won't go away
You are my holiday
And together, we'll receive
And reach that great beyond
Believe me, take my word
I'll never break your heart
And away we go, my little Jersey girl
My little Jersey girl
My little Jersey girl, fly, and away we go

The wish you plead and the things you sought
We all think, we all thought
The things I've done, and the world I've seen
Don't measure up to you, my queen
Oh, I take one for the other, and work my way through this machine
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control, oh no
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control, oh no
The first train out, the last one drones
We'll all sing: "We're going home"
As the curtain swings in to cover all our secrets kept, our love enough
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Give me the strength, I know, and please believe me
Oh girl, this is what I've become
And I'm going to leave it up to you
What are you going to do?
Cause I don't want to lose your hold on me
Cause I don't want to lose your hold on me
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Give me the, oh no, please believe
Oh girl, this is what I've become
And I'm going to leave it up to you
What are you, what are you
Just remember
Pay no attention to this iron fist, this iron fist
Just remember
Pay no attention to this iron, oh, this iron fist
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control, oh no
God damn this cursed, god damn
God damn this cursed, god damn
God damn this cursed, god damn

Dark Side Of Me
05:02

In those discouraging days
I always missed the mark
When we were comfort and close
I would neglect to keep
You safe and unexposed
A portrait of time repeats
This moment now replaced
With an empty wish to give
I give, I gave
I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine
Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you, there is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Now in your absence, I wade
Through the coursing, lonely, lost
And in this tragic dismay
I never could believe what I became
I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This welcomed war machine
Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you, there is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
I couldn't give you what you needed
It's all my fault
Too coward to believe I lost it all
I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine
Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you, there is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me

Two hearts beat as one
Disguise your mind and feel the hum
This drone, the buzz of our love
In time, we move
This churning factor, feel the groove
Release the touch that moves you
Oh, this is her, no regrets
I embrace your defects to confess
You were my every wish
I admit that I will never feel alone
Once I call you home
Push towards the dance floor
And together, we'll show them who's boss
We'll set a fire, once more
Oh, this is her, no regrets
I embrace your defects to confess
You were my every wish
I admit that I will never feel alone
Once I call you home
Maybe it's not now or later
'Til you save the best for last
I want to be everything you need
Oh, this is her, no regrets
I embrace your defects to confess
You were my every wish
I admit that I will never feel
No, I will never feel alone
Our sum in monotone
While the record spins around
Please turn me over, slide me into sleeve
Oh girl, please bring me home

The Homecoming (Demo)

We are a living absolute
Stuck in an anguished innocence
This moment loved
I greet the sun
And wake from a war i could have won
Well in your arms I'll keep this memory to me
This kitchen floor won't reveal all the things I felt for you
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
The dust a-dance against my breath
The world awaken slowly dressed
A life unanswered in the light
With questions scattered in the night
And now my heart feels heavy
The weight will drag me down
You were the only reason
They'd find me here tonight
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Loneliness is why you hurt
Please level with me
Understand, I'd do, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger

Carol Ann (Demo)

These are the words for my Carol Ann
The girl I broke in half
Oh I'm afraid there's nothing left
No pieces to put back in place
I was a monster
The things that I did I regret, I dismiss
Oh, it's a shame about Carol Ann
And all she could have been
She soared with such grace as her body sailed
Through the windshield from the passenger seat
I was a monster
Through neglect I replaced her love for these lonely days
Oh, she'll be forgotten
Oh, she'll be forgotten
Young hearts beat on
To a love that everybody wants
But we can't have it all
So we take what little we can
Oh, mother did ya see em comin'? Did ya see em?
Mother did ya see em sneakin' through the back door?
Stealing the time we wish we spent, but lost it all
Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh
The time we wish we spent, but lost it all
Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh
The time we wish we spent, but lost it all
Mother did ya see em comin'? Did ya see em?
Mother did ya see em sneakin' through the back door?
This time we'll reinforce the walls!
Don't turn the page, love
Its words don't hold your fate
The two will become one
And from their world you will escape
Through the walls of your heart
I will tear you apart!
Through the walls of your heart
I will tear you apart!
Through the walls!
Through the walls!
Through the walls!
Through the walls!
Through the walls!
Through the walls!
Through the walls!

This little runaway, against the golden cusp
She screams words of distrust to tease me
As the motor turns to thrust
Her skin the tone of rust, her eyes burning with lust
Pray in disbelief, this day be done
Little switchblade sister, dreaming of guns
Your courage; a disease, it's strengthening me
Oh, I'll pull the trigger, hun
Oh girl, and watch it blow up
All this, I have wanted and more
While I live in the blame
I wish the past could come take it back, so I can start it all over
All this, I have pushed to endure
Just to find out, it's breaking me
Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions:
Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?
This burden's mine alone
This world will never know, as I live with it in tow
All this, I have wanted and more
While I live in the blame
I wish the past would come take it back, so I can start it all over
All this, I have pushed to endure
Just to find out, it's breaking me
Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions:
Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?
Oh, I need a break from these random reality shifts and mood swings
All good boys run home to mommy, but you're not afraid no more
Go in through the front door, and give 'em hell, buddy
All good boys run home to mommy, but you're not afraid no more
Go in through the front door, and give 'em hell, buddy
Oh, I think I've made a mess
I've made a mess
All this, I have wanted and more
But while I live in the blame
I wish the past would come take it back, so I can start it all over
All this, I have pushed to endure
Just to find out, it's breaking me
Disgustingly fit into, unhappily, with the absolute questions
I can't find the answers to this life
I can't find the answers to...
I don't think there, or anyone there is just nothing
I don't think there, or anyone there is just nothing
Hold onto what you have, never let go
Find out what happens in the truth low below
Oh, I think I've made a mess
I've made a mess

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you of one slow decline
Where a girl yanked on the strings
To break this man's heart
Oh lord, I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So, I'll just keep humming this song
And hope you follow
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
I know you will
Oh, I know you will
Your lipstick crazy, I make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with the kindness of my smarts
I replace your pleasure with a friend at the bottom
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
I know you will
Oh, it's my fate
To be your biggest mistake
Oh, I'll tell you all you want to hear
Until you sleep
I know you will...
Oh, goodnight
Oh, goodnight, fair lady
Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
And eventually, you'll come to me
We can agree to disagree
Well, maybe that was you then, and now this is me
But eventually, you'll come to me, baby
I know you will...

The Afterman (Demo)

She gave her heart to a falling star
When news filtered through of his tragedy
All the walls went up
Around a world, she declines
As the tears from her eyes fall
No one understands and no one will
All she has lost
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
When she found it, there
In the cold, blue glare
The words distressed and unfamiliar
Where the feelings seared
An emptiness had hung
And in her chest, she clenched
Reality settled as the memories raced
While on the screen, he lived
She teared; "Your selfishness has robbed you
Of the man you could've been
I wouldn't change a thing about you
I love you dearly, my friend"
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
My love, been searching for my Afterman
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
My love, been searching for my Afterman

In those discouraging days
I always missed the mark
When we were comfort and close
I would neglect to keep
You safe and unexposed
A portrait of time repeats
This moment now replaced
With an empty wish to give
I give, I gave
I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine
Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you, there is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Now in your absence, I wade
Through the coursing, lonely, lost
And in this tragic dismay
I never could believe what I became
I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine
Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you, there is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
I couldn't give you what you needed
It's all my fault
Too coward to believe I lost it all
I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine
Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you, there is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me
Here, in the dark side of me

This is what Coheed and Cambria wish they sounded like. Once the manic progressive metal slams into you like a flood of molasses, it's impossible to deny the powerful urgency of this amazing album.

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-)

Each album Ghost release, they just keep getting better & better. The 80s vibe running throughout this album is contagious.
