All dressed up with nowhere to go
The clock starts tickin’ and you hope they don’t show
Did you really invite them anyway?
All worked up with nowhere to go.
The lights turn red, is this yes or a no?
Feels like you were uninvited anyway
Maybe just maybe, we were just crazy
That we let it get that far
Oh my lady, our love is fading
Like it was doomed from the start
Now that’s it’s over what do you have to say for yourself?
Play away! I’m still waiting for something.
In a way you’ll never know
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Turn the lights off; are you ready for the show?
Still it feels like you weren’t wanted here anyway
All worked up with nowhere to go.
The pieces were in place to a puzzle you don’t own
You weren’t really needed here anyway
Maybe just maybe, we were just crazy
That we let it get that far
Oh my lady, our love is fading
Like it was doomed from the start
Now that’s it’s over what do you have to say for yourself?
Play away! I’m still waiting for something.
In a way you’ll never know
Look at me, who do you see?
A little boy playing with his little toy
What a sad excuse for a man

Thought It Thru

What I came for: it’s an epithet
Vision reset. My mind’s a lesion
Those who couldn’t be and those that wanna see
Natal brainchild, same as teacher
From above I can still watch them be
I never wanted but I thought it through
And when I look back I never regret what’s new
I never wanted but I thought it through
And when I look back I never regret what’s new
Lost on the ceiling it’s come unglued
Fall to pieces. Same old feeling
Those that couldn’t be and those that wanna see
Heavy machines. Sunken teeth
From above I can still watch them
From above I can still watch them...be!
I never wanted but I thought it through
And when I look back I never regret what’s new
I never wanted but I thought it through
And when I look back I never regret what’s new
Can’t wait tomorrow or there’s things we’ll never do
Can’t wait tomorrow...
I never wanted but I thought it through
And when I look back I never regret what’s new
I never wanted but I thought it through
And when I look back I never regret what’s new

For forty days and forty nights
Tempted a truth that was all mine
As you should know I go by many names
After tonight you might not see me again
Did you see me in the wild?
Turning stones into bread
You’ll never be hungry again!
He brought his message to us with the twelve in tow
How’s the story gonna end? I think you know
Then again, these aren’t the kind of words we care to throw lightly
The power and the glory...Down the to Road to Galilee
Here I am, I’m back again
Have you guessed who it is? Do you know my friend?
Make no mistake I’m watching your every move
Better watch your back, they’re coming for you
Did you see me in the temple?
Clearing out this den of thieves
A house of prayer is what it’s supposed to be
He brought his message to us with the twelve in tow
How’s the story gonna end? I think you know
Then again, these aren’t the kind of words we care to throw lightly
The power and the glory...Down the to Road to Galilee
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth...ye are the salt the earth. But if the salt have lost his savior, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”
Did you see me at the party?
Turned that water into wine.
Some would say it was divine
He brought his message to us with the twelve in tow
How’s the story gonna end? I think you know
Then again, these aren’t the kind of words we care to throw lightly
The power and the glory...Down the to Road to Galilee

Look what I’ve lost and look what I’ve found
Now I’d rather sit and watch it burn to the ground
Memories are best left where I’ll forget ‘em
Let’s just pretend like none of this ever happened
You say I’m over thinking it
Overanalyzing every inch.
The angels are takin’ a bit
The devil in the details
You say I’m over thinking it
Going over and over the same ol’ shit
Start being a man, stop being a bitch
The devil in the details and he’s the devil that I know
Pushing away from the ghost of the past
Second-guessing everyone. I needed to ask
Memories are best left where I can’t find them
Living in the past. The future was then.
You say I’m over thinking it
Every thought. Every inch.
The angels aren’t getting the hint
The devil in the details
Looking in between the lines
Rolled over, backstabbed and undermined
The angels got a bit on the side with the...
The devil in the details and he’s the devil that I know
Peace will come again.
Surely you’ve seen the signs
Looking far too deep between the lines...
There’s nothing there.
Only the void of who you’ll become...HIM.
Look what I’ve lost and look what I’ve found
Now I’d rather sit and watch it burn to the ground
Memories are best left where I’ll forget ‘em
Let’s just pretend like none of this ever happened

Fools Parade
04:07
|

|
Speechless and breathless, you can’t say a word
With promise and passion, you’ve taken all your turns
Hopeless and fate less, you lock yourself away
Lifeless and heartless, waiting for the rain
It’s not one of my better days
Lost in the fools parade for you
It’s not one of your better days
I never should’ve came, but I will wait just the same
Dreamless and thoughtless, you lie wide-awake
Twisting and turning with so much to say
Hopeless and fate less, you lock yourself inside
Lifeless and heartless, not your heart but mine
It’s not one of my better days
Lost in the fools parade for you
It’s not one of your better days
I never should’ve came, but I will wait the same
Losing my world to roads that led to nowhere
Losing the words “get back in line and wait your turn”
Speechless and breathless, you can’t say a word
With promise and passion, you’ve taken all your turns
Hopeless and fateless, you lock yourself away
Lifeless and heartless, waiting for the rain
It’s not one of my better days
Lost in the fools parade for you
It’s not one of your better days
I never should’ve came, but I will wait just the same
I will wait just the same

Waters

Look out this window. Cold and empty.
Broken misguided wounded souls
Look out this window. Ordinary.
In the end you’ll know you’re wrong
Away, I’ll stay. Away, I’ll fade.
Look at this mirror, old and weary
Failed misused, forgotten son
Hiding the sunshine from those who love you
Closing the door on everyone.
Away, I’ll stay. Away, I’ll fade.
For here is where the waters have placed you
Replaced you
Misplaced you
Gone
This is how your fear will contain you
Betray you
Portray you, oh!

It’s time act, it’s time to relax
It’s time to play a part, carry it on your back
You a martyr, an imposter, a ghost, a disruptor
Put your money where your mouth is...your mouth is.
Best left at the bottom of the water
Drown, drown, drown, it’s no worse than this monster
Best left at the bottom of the water
Drown, drown, drown...put your money where you mouth is...your mouth is.
It’s a day in the shade. It’s a day to complain.
It’s a day to overcome. Just smile and nod. Best behave!
You’re a pest, a freak, the silent unseen
Put your money where your mouth is...your mouth is.
I said it before and I’ll say it again:
“Sometimes life comes up with a better idea my friend”
So abandon your ship and get lost at sea
Put your money where your mouth is...your mouth is
Best left at the bottom of the water
Drown, drown, drown, it’s no worse than this monster
Best left at the bottom of the water
Drown, drown, drown...put your money where you mouth is...your mouth is.
So here, here you are put out to pasture.
You have chosen poorly.
Time for sleep, time for sleep again
On this lonely day the world will be watching. The world will be watching!
It’s the end of the road; it’s the end we all know
Buried with a thousand apologies
Just let the good times...go!
It’s time act, it’s time to relax
It’s time to play a part carry it on your back
You a martyr, an imposter, a ghost, a disruptor
Put your money where your mouth is...your mouth is.
Best left at the bottom of the water
Drown, drown, drown, it’s no worse than this monster
Best left at the bottom of the water
Drown, drown, drown...put your money where you mouth is...your mouth is.

I’m the victim. I am the sin
Time to put on another face. Another mask. Another space
I’m the martyr. I am your Christ.
Say not a word to anyone...
But if these walls could talk; they would be screaming
I’m the master!
I’m the king of the castle
I’m your savior; I’m your god and creator!
I’m the king of the castle!
I’m the monster. I’m the bad guy.
Father, why have you left me here? Screaming at the skies
I’m the torment. I am The Grim.
As you acquiesce this dark summer
Did I mention I was still dreaming?
I’m the master!
I’m the king of the castle
I’m your savior; I’m your god and creator!
I’m the king of the castle!
I’d give up everything
Just rid me of all these shortcomings
Steal away all of these haunted dreams...and hide
I’m the master!
I’m the king of the castle
I’m your savior; I’m your god and creator!
I’m the king of the castle.
I’m the king of the castle!
I’m the king, I’m the king, I’m the king of the castle!
“Tomorrow night is going to be a great day”
