I Say, You Say

I used to walk the pirates plank.
Used to play the cronic games.
Walked the streets of mystery.
Ended up drowing in apathy.

Don't you say you don't know why!
Could have said I could have tried!

I say, you say, they say.
Everyone wants a reason why.
I say, you say, they say.
Everyone wants a piece of me.
I say, you say, they say.
Everyone wants to fucking fight.

Don't you say you are one my side.
Don't you say you I am dead tonight.
Feed to the sharks of reality.
Left for the darker side of tranquality.

I say, you say, they say.
Everyone wants a reason why.
I say, you say, they say.
Everyone wants a piece of me.
I say, you say, they say.
Everyone wants to fucking fight.

I used to walk the pirates plank.
Used to play the cronic games.
Walked the streets of mystery.
Ended up drowing in apathy.

Don't you say you don't know why!
Could have said I could have tried!

Box Around You

You and I have seen the crow
and all the things it has to show.
It's raining blood on a sunny day,
with an ocean swell that talks of fate.
It doesn't really matter, because I am not very much fun anyway.

Spider is on the wall,
there is a ten foot shark.
Your mind starts to fade
with an ugly grace.

You and I have seen the crow
and all the things it has to show.
It's raining blood on a sunny day,

It doesn't really matter, because I am not very much fun anyway.

Spider is on the wall,
there is a ten foot shark.
Your mind starts to fade
with an ugly grace.
It doesn't really matter, because you are five in one.

Box Around you as they try to surround you.
Box Around you as they try to surround you.
Box Around you as they try to surround you.
Box Around you as they try to surround you.

You and I have seen the crow
and all the things it has to show.

there is a ten foot shark.
Your mind starts to fade

It doesn't really matter, because you are five in one.

Box Around you as they try to surround you.
Box Around you as they try to surround you.
Box Around you as they try to surround you.
Box Around you as they try to surround you.

Mouse In The Maze

I am the mouse in the maze.
Developed from your craze.
I am the mouse in the maze.
Developed from your craze.

I am the mouse in the maze??
I am the mouse in the maze??

Are you watching me?
I am the mouse in the maze.
Are you watching me?
I am the mouse in the maze.

I am the mouse in the maze??
I am the mouse in the maze??

Run, run, run!

Time is on fire.
Paranoia churns within.
Time is on fire.
Paranoia churns within.

I am the mouse in the maze??
I am the mouse in the maze??

Run, run, run!

I am the mouse in the maze??
I am the mouse in the maze??

Burn

Figures of your imagination
How sweet the mind unwinds
How deep the sleep in the world to come

The taste of blood mixed with hate and love
Brings me to an endless define
Time no longer shines if you know what I mean.

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?
Burn

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?
Burn

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?

Covered with imaginary twists
Mayhem is sanctuary
When hunting the swine

Flesh and bone evaporate
The colourless days of yesterday.
Time no longer shines if you know what I mean.

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?
Burn

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?
Burn

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?

From a distant corner
A heart is pumping out sound
Echoing in a chamber of falling walls

The taste of blood mixed with hate and love
bring me through an endless define

Time no longer shines if you know what I mean.
Time no longer shines if you know what I mean.
Time no longer shines if you know what I mean.
Time no longer shines if you know what I mean.

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?
Burn

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?
Burn

Could you see the shore from here?
Thoughts of fire
Thoughts of fire
Why don't you burn?

Exit

A touch of distant sorrow
covers the hope of some tomorrow.
Even the kings are in the trenches
chasing the face of lost time.

Laying low under a blood red sky
Find no more excuses for your homeless mind.

If it could have been on it's on,
maybe certain scars would not have been born.
Would the errors have been lifted
if the adrenline was somewhat shifted?

In the sense the feeling is way over,
like a leaf falling for the first and last time.

Yet I find, yet I find all along,
a hole in a wall shows you another side
Yet I find, yet I find all along,
Schattered glass plays magic with the light.

Exit
Why don't you exit?
Exit
Why don't you exit?
Exit
Why don't you exit out of my mind?
Exit

Politicians and Sheep

All you sheep grazing their lies
from the boys club on the rise.
They will get you at the end.

All the money that is spend today
on the casts of vote.
You're just a dollar bill at the end

Throw in fear love your country
call them evil, prepare to defend.
Don't you see it's just pretend?

All the ones choosing not to follow
end up in court hating their lives.
Find themselves on the defend.

So you bought into the Fox News tv/radio station as they hypnotized you with their lies. And you know what, you didn’t read into it, you just follow. And you’re a real fucking idiot. You’re the real fucking idiot around it. Now you bought into their little plan and now they are using you. You’re saying what the fuck happened to me? Well I will tell you what the fuck happened to you. You turned into a motherfucking sheep. You turned into a sheep. Because you bought into. You turned into a fucking sheep.

Don't you see it's just pretend?
They will get you at the end.
Don't you see it's just pretend?
They will get you at the end.
Don't you see it's just pretend?
They will get you at the end.
Don't you see it's just pretend?
You’re just a dollar bill at the end!
