1. RIPPER

Time kills, go ask Jesus
I'm done, makes no difference
Stare straight, stare at the sun
I'm done, makes no difference

Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today
Time takes us, time takes us all
Will I die right now, I'm only seconds away
Time takes us...

Move on, gone forever
I'm done, makes no difference
Poison time kills slowly, you're done
Makes no difference

Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today
Time takes us, time takes us all
Will I die right now, it could be seconds away
Time takes us...

Time will now be, time will now be
Time will now be (time will now be)
The chopping block
Leave my head

Time will now be
The chopping block
So leave my head
Leave my head
Leave my head

Time kills, makes no difference
I'm done, makes no difference
Makes no difference

Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today
Time takes us, time takes us all
Will I die right now, it could be seconds away
Time takes us...

Time takes us all


2. PRETTY HANDSOME AWKWARD

Kickin' it out

Your dream vacation, is my hostage refuge
A work in progress, you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile
I beg to differ, make me an offer
Warm summer rain, you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile

Hey, are you okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward

Your market value, your resurrection (your resurrection)
Your shallow concept, help yourself
I hope you choke and you die
I know you meant it, nice fucking disguise (so hollow)
Embrace the burn you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile

Hey, are you okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward

You look pretty low
You look pretty low

Your dream vacation, is my hostage refuge
A work in progress, you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile
I beg to differ, make me an offer
Warm summer rain, you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile

(handsome awkward)

Hey, are you okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward

Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Pretty low, pretty low
Pretty handsome awkward

Do you feel okay?
You look pretty low
Pretty low, pretty low
(handsome awkward)
Pretty handsome awkward

(handsome awkward)

kickin' it out [x3]

Pretty low!


3. THE BIRD AND THE WORM

He wears his heart safety-pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to
Save his life, he crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind the way pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Mid-day delusions are pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind
Out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to
Save his life, he crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (crawls like a worm)
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

All he knows
If he can't relieve it, it grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

He
Crawls like a worm
He
Crawls like a worm
He
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a...

Out of his mind the way pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to
Save his life, he crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone he's holding his breath half to death
(Holding his breath half to death)
Terrified to
Save his life
He crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird


4. EARTHQUAKE

She had an earthquake on her mind
I almost heard her cry out as I left her far behind
and knew the world was crashing down around her

I sink now to the ocean floor
Because I know that we are more
But I've made this mess, I built this fire
Are you still mine?

Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine, please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine

She had an earthquake on her mind
Apparently the kind that would bury us alive
By putting all this weight on us forever
I lie here on the ocean floor,
broken castle by the shore
And I made this mess, I built this fire
Are you still mine?

Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine, please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine

Let me save us
I've slaughtered us, I've murdered our love
I can taste it,
This blood in my mouth, this knife in my lungs
Have I murdered our love?
Have I murdered our love?

Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine, yeah please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine

Cause baby, I'm not alright when you
Baby I'm not alright when you go
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine

Please be all mine, mine


5. HOSPITAL

This feeling never leaves you alone
You pull the trigger on your own
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
all the way to the hospital

Now will you ever rest your head?
You end up feeling mostly dead
Pretending you're the last one
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
all the way to the hospital

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars

It never used to hurt before
it isn't funny anymore
Feeling so alone now,
Funny how you wish some way that
you could die at the hospital

You're quiet on the car ride home,
You're waiting for your head to explode
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly
all the way to the hospital

(I don't feel okay, I don't feel alright. Ahahaha! Help me. I don't know.)

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close)
Before I close my eyes I'm gonna give it up
(Take off my mask)
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars
Leave the lies to the liars

Will you look them in the face?
Could you look me in the face?
Three cheers you fooled them all
Come on, hip hip hooray
Three cheers you fooled them all
Come on, hip hip hooray
Hip hip hooray

Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars
(Before I close)
Before I close my eyes I'm gonna give it up
(Take off my mask)
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars
Leave the lies to the liars

(Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars
(Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars
(Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars
(Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars
Hey! Hey! Hey!


6. PARALYZED

Before I could ever let you go,
Gonna beg until I drive you mad
and say something you could understand
I'm a statue baby, knock me out

Oh how these moments fade away, you say you never loved me
We say things we didn't mean to say
I take it back, I take it all back now
I take it back, I take it all back

Paralyzed by the same old antics
Back and forth like some walking spastic
How could a fistfight be romantic?
Thinking back now will you ever feel the same?

You mean more to me than you'll ever know
You're my girl and I think it's a shame
That we get along this way
I'm just a statue try to knock me out

I guess these moments fade away, saying you never loved me
We say things we didn't mean to say
I take it back, I take it all back now
I take it back, I take it all back

Paralyzed by the same old antics
Back and forth like some walking spastic
How could a fistfight be romantic?
Thinking back now will you ever feel the same?
[x2]

Yeah, I know you feel the same
You gotta let me know
I'm dying inside to know
Knock me out
I'm dying inside to know
Let me know
Knock me out

Knock me out!
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-knock me out!
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-knock me out!

Paralyzed by the same old antics
Back and forth like some walking spastic
How could a fistfight be romantic?
Thinking back now will you ever feel the same?
[x2]

Paralyzed by the same old antics
Back and forth like some walking spastic
How could a fistfight be romantic?
Thinking back now can you feel the same?

You gotta let me know
I'm dying inside to know
Knock me out (knock me out)
I'm dying inside to know
gotta let me know
Knock me out

Knock me out!
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-knock me out!
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-knock me...out!


7. WITH ME TONIGHT

The way I broke your heart very literally
This ghost haunts me more than it should be
I'm not gonna walk away or turn my head in shame
I never thought it could kill me

A clean slate, one more day further away

I want you, you don't want me
My mistake for wasting yours and mine
I want you, but will you stay
With me today?
With me today?

Just let me make some time to take it back a little
The way you smile shines the heavens above me (heavens above me)
Never going to let you go, I want you all the time
I gotta prove you can trust me

A clean slate, one more day further away

I want you, you don't want me
My mistake for wasting yours and mine
I want you, but will you stay
With me today?
With me today?

I need you, you don't need me
When you are low, I am not okay
I want you, but will you stay
With me today?
With me today?
With me today?
With me today?

A clean slate, one more day further away, yeah

I want you, you don't want me
My mistake for wasting yours and mine
I want you, but will you stay
With me today?
With me today?

I need you, 'cause you need me
When you are low, I am not okay
I want you, but will you stay
With me today?
With me today?
With me today?
With me today?


8. WAKE THE DEAD

Yeah, this is not natural
A bunch of holes where the dead used to be underground
Forget supernatural
'cause all those resting in peace are out walking the streets
Yeah, with no heartbeat

Across the sky they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
And all alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!

Oh, this is not possible
An empty hole in your chest where your heart used to beat
Does this mean what I think it means?
Just how could both you and me be about as dead as we could be?
Yeah, with no heartbeat

Across the sky they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead (wake the dead)
And all alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!

Take a walk with me, walk with the dead
'Cause you knew that we had to die sometime, yeah
Well darling, tonight could be (darling, tonight could be)
Let your voice shred miles of diamond skies
Just to walk as they wake in the darkness, yeah
Well darling tonight could be a beautiful night to die
A beautiful night to die, yeah

Wake the dead, fuck it! You’re dead!
Wake the dead, f-f-f-f-fuck it! You’re dead!
Wake the dead, wake the dead!

Across the sky they can ha ha hear you
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead
And all alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you
Wake the dead! (C’mon!)
Wake the dead!

Across the sky they can hear you on the other side
A scream that's loud enough to wake the dead (wake the dead)
And all alone you bought tickets for the nightmare as you
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!

Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!
Wake the dead!


9. FIND A WAY

Lay your head down just for now
Space fills your mind and you dream awhile
The sun floods your room as you drown
Your lungs full of breathing
Your true love believe

One more time to say I love you always
And keeping faith letting love find a way

Move let the stars suck you in
Hold tight, the night's air and breathe again
Let go and be burnt by the moon
Your hands full of feeling
Your true love believe

One more time to say I love you always
And keeping faith letting love find a way

One more time to say I love you always
And keeping faith letting love find a way

I love you to death
Could you love me to death
I love you to death (I will love you to death)
Could you love me
Could you love me

One more time to say I love you always
And keeping faith letting love find a way

One more time to say I love you always
And keeping faith letting love find a way
Letting love find a way (I will love you to death)
Letting love find a way
Letting love... (I will love...)


10. LIAR LIAR (BURN IN HELL)

Liar, liar, pants on fire
And the pills go down and get you higher
Baby bottles burning, motherfucker
And the mother hates him like the daughter
Lonely God and maker gripping tighter
Saying you will burn in hell, they say
You will burn in hell

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, pants on fire

Liar, liar, house on fire
And the glass tastes messy
Chew it louder bet your tummy hurts you
You motherfucker mother never loved you
Father touched you with the hand of God
He’s gripping tighter
Saying you will burn in hell, they say
You will burn in hell

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, you fucking liar

You’re gonna burn in hell
You’re gonna burn in hell
Hell, hell, hell
You will burn in hell, they say
You will burn in hell

Fucking liar

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, you fucking liar

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, you fucking liar
You fucking liar

Liar, liar, you fucking liar [3x]

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Hanging from a telephone wire


11. SMOTHER ME

Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time
Surely you can take some comfort knowing that you're mine
Just hold me tight, lay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?

Let me be the one who never leaves you all alone
I hold my breath and lose the feeling that I'm on my own
(Leaves me all alone)
Hold me too tight, stay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you baby all the time
(All the time)

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?
Smother me (smother me)
Smother me (smother me)

When I'm alone time goes so slow
I need you here with me
and how my mistakes have made your heart break
Still I need you here with me
So baby I'm, baby I'm here

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me? (Let me be the one)

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and smother me (smother me)
Warm and alive I'm all over you
would you smother me?
Smother me (smother me)
Smother me (smother me)

Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby
The one who calls you baby
