WHO'S GOT ALL THE FACTS AND ALL THE NUMBERS
WHO'S GONNA WAKE THEM ALL UP FROM THEIR SLUMBER
WHO'S GONNA TURN THEIR PARTY THERE INTO A REAL BUMMER
A CLEVER MOTHERFUCKER
I WORKED PRETTY HARD FOR THIS COMA
GOOD THING THAT I SHOWED UP
HERE'S MY PERSONA- I TALK JUST LIKE A GROWN UP
I'M SAYING ONE WITH A DIPLOMA
THIS IS A GULAG THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ALL OPPONENTS
YOU'D HATE A FACT JUST TO PROVE YOU'RE SO DEVOTED
WHOLE THING IS SCREWED UP MAN I THINK THAT I PROVOKED
CAUSE I FOCUSED ON THE WORST CASE
AND THEN EVERYONE APPROACHED IT
DRONES. NOW YOU NEVER HAVE TO FEEL ALONE.
I'M IN MY ZONE.
YOU CAN STAY OUT OF MY HOME.
GOD I'M SO BORED
OF YOUR DEATH SQUADS AND YOUR WARS
I'VE GOT A GUN ON MY PORCH
I HOPE IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE
YOU THOUGHT I WAS YOURS
BUT THEN YOU TOLD ME MY WORTH
AND NOW I WANT TO GO FIRST
YOU WERE HAVING FUN AND I'M THE CURE
THE PARADOXES OF ALL YOUR TOLERANCES
IT'S FUCKING FINE IF YOU'RE TOO LATE ISN'T IT
THE PARADOXES OF ALL YOUR TOLERANCES
YOU HATE SOMETHING JUST ENOUGH AND YOU MIGHT FIX IT
DRONES. NOW YOU NEVER HAVE TO FEEL ALONE.
I'M IN MY ZONE.
YOU CAN STAY OUT OF MY HOME.
GOD I'M SO BORED
OF YOUR DEATH SQUADS AND YOUR WARS
I'VE GOT A GUN ON MY PORCH
I HOPE IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE
YOU THOUGHT I WAS YOURS
BUT THEN YOU TOLD ME MY WORTH
AND NOW I WANT TO GO FIRST
YOU WERE HAVING FUN AND I'M THE CURE
DISARRAY'S IN BUSINESS
DO THE RIGHT THING AND KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
IF YOU SWORE AN OATH I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A SNITCH
DO THE RIGHT THING AND KEEP YOUR DISTANCE

it keeps raining
i know my training
you keep your head in the clouds and you drown
the law can fight me
i see the lightning
and i don't give a fuck about a crown
i got real high and then i looked down
and my perspective's all i got to guide me now
this is the first law of motion
move too fast you can't even hit eject
you fuck around and make a scene of your emotions
you picked a role in it- get back on set
act like you can trust your reality
your friends keep on turning into enemies
i see you like i got telepathy
i just think i got
too much mileage
and too worn out to hide it
i sit still and i despise it
i was even raised by a fucking pilot
it keeps raining
it doesn't phase me
if i slow down
i'm gonna fuckin panic
the people all get crushed when they get too proud
so i don't give a fuck about a crowd
these days i represent more than myself
feels like the baggage came from someone else
you picked the wrong mother fucker here to overwhelm
sad and funny right
but what's a better way
you'll misunderstand it anyway
act like you can trust your reality
your friends keep on turning into enemies
i see you like i got telepathy
and i think i got
too much mileage
and too worn out to hide it
i sit still and i despise it
i was even raised by a fucking pilot
too much mileage
and too worn out to hide it
i sit still and i despise it
cause maybe i'm the opposite of all of it
i used to think it wouldn't matter if i said it
cause i do not know where i'm headed
i pursued a life of good and just for that i am indebted
i'll still swing on your god if i'm let in
sad and funny right
this shit's the best
life's just a riddle that was made
for the depressed
and i think i got
too much mileage
and too worn out to hide it
i sit still and i despise it
i was even raised by a fucking pilot
too much mileage
and too worn out to hide it
i sit still and i despise it
cause maybe i'm the opposite of all of it

i know what i want
it's to have my domain
in every way
nothing's gonna make me feel alright
till i'm somebody who's free
i've lived long enough that i know my own price
but when you wrote it down, you showed me i was write
you told me what i'm worth and i didn't even disagree
and now i want a tip cause i was fucking friendly
everything's on fire
you are just a king with no survivors
you don't care about the human, you just need the straining
if i can reject what's inside my heart then you can pay me
prick
you're not alive you just run a campaign
and it's tiring
you need a lot of votes so you speak real vague
and it sucks that it's working
you told me what i'm worth and i didn't even disagree
and now i want a tip cause now i'm fucking sick of me
everything's on fire
you are just a king with no survivors
you don't care about the human, you just need the straining
if i can reject what's inside my heart then you can pay me
the flames keep growing higher
and oh look there's a paper tiger. hm.
you don't care about the human, you just need the straining
if i can reject what's inside my heart then you can pay me
a grenade in the hands of a slave
pull the pin and walk away
a grenade in the hands of a slave
to save the day
a little broke, a little buzzed, a little stressed
trying to get above it
slit a throat, get the blood, make a mess
do your best
just get these mother fuckers off my back
everything's on fire
you are just a king with no survivors
you don't care about the human, you just need the straining
if i can reject what's inside my heart then you can pay me
the flames keep growing higher
and oh look there's a paper tiger. hm.
you don't care about the human, you just need the straining
if i can reject what's inside my heart just fucking pay me

IF YOU WANT TO GO TANDEM

WE'RE THE COMMON DENOMINATORS OF ALL OF IT
YEAH I PROBABLY DID IT. TWICE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE COOL, RIGHT?
IF IT BLEEDS THEN YOU HIDE IT
WE MADE THE FLOOR BOARDS VIOLET
STOP LETTING OTHERS SEE YOUR KINDNESS
THEY'RE GONNA SWIPE IT
OH HI

YOU DON'T EVER GOTTA BE ALONE
JUST TRUST SOMEBODY YOU DON'T KNOW
LET THEM IN YOUR HOME
AND NOW I'M STEPPING OVER BONES AND HEADSTONES
I NEED TWO PHONES
AND WHAT YOU WANTED OUT OF IT- I HOPE YOU GET
WE'RE USED TO BEING SILHOUETTES HOLDING OUR BREATH
BUT YOU AND I BOTH SANK ENOUGH BOATS TO PAY FOR IT
OH HI

WHO'S GONNA TELL A REAL BIG LIE
WHEN THE COPS STOP BY
OH HI

you think you know his game and he’ll flip another gaslight
rich motherfucker with his hands on your wind pipe
gather up
i’ll sing a song for you suckers if you gather up
counter ops
we're going to fit right in if we act real dumb
say the fucking pledge and be amazed at some other guys accomplishments
lock a toddler up inside a cage make him wonder where his father is
publish every single word you say and somehow you're still anonymous
if a sergeant thinks you disobeyed him then he's gonna fuck up your esophagus
gather up
they put a price on confusion and it's not enough
counter ops
cause we can fit right in if we act real dumb
i'm burning alive burning alive
i guess this must be hell
but i learned to get by i learned to get by
cause i can lie to myself
i don't need your point of view i'll never care what your perspective is
get the fuck up out my face i don't have to to deal with the punishment
i could just impersonate you making everything you're saying meaningless
absurdity's my only god and i'm pretty zealous in believing it
you got your thumb in your mouth and you love a good lie
you got a rapist signing bills and you all feel fine
gather up
i’ll sing a song for you suckers if you gather up
counter ops
cause we can fit right in if we act real dumb
i'm burning alive burning alive
i guess this must be hell
but i learned to get by i learned to get by
cause i can lie to myself
burn out till i've lost the sun
it makes a fool of everyone
but i learned to get by i learned to get by
cause i know i can lie know i can lie
i can lie to myself
you think you know his game and he’ll flip another gaslight
rich motherfucker with his hands on your wind pipe
staring at his phone while the world becomes a gun fight
help him get his way and he'll keep you all safe right
there is a place where your convictions all began
i want to nuke it and never think about it again
i'm burning alive burning alive
i guess this must be hell
but i learned to get by i learned to get by
cause i can lie to myself
burn out till i've lost the sun
it makes a fool of everyone
but i learned to get by i learned to get by
cause i know i can lie know i can lie
i can lie to myself

i cant tell if its my heart or my brain.
im manic and i know it’s just a state.
something that i chose not to sedate.
i just think better when it's late.
i made something then i burned it, did it on purpose.
i can't tell if it was worth it or if i deserve it.
and i keep winning the game and it makes me feel more worthless.
and i keep wandering off into different universes.
you're somewhere else and the one of you i know is somewhere parallel.
and i keep telling myself that this is not a hell and i’ll earn my happiness when i do something well.
am i all alone when i fall asleep.
wish i could save my bones from my circuitry.
i'm a clone of me with my psychology.
there’s no room for me in my reality.
i rewind like i got the super 8 so i can binge watch all my mistakes.
you'll never get me out of my way.
i just think better when it’s late.
you’re somewhere else.
and the one of you i know is out there by themselves.
and i keep telling myself that it is not a hell and the one of me who’s there still knows how to help.
am i all alone when i fall asleep.
wish i could save my bones from my circuitry.
i'm a clone of me with my psychology.
there’s no room for me in my reality.
do we run parallel, or is my image that of someone else?
do i believe this isn’t hell?
cause i am hurting when i try to help.
maybe we all get lost, maybe it’s in my blood.
don’t think I’m ever gone.
I’m simply losing touch.
am i all alone when you fall asleep?
it’s better not to taint your reality.
broken record with my apologies.
do you lose sleep just at the thought of me?
am i all alone when i fall asleep.
wish i could save my bones from my circuitry.
i'm a clone of me with my psychology.
there’s no room for me in my reality.
i made something then i burned it, did it on purpose.
i can't tell if it was worth it or if i deserve it.
and i keep winning the game and it makes me feel more worthless.
and i keep wandering off into different universes.
