1.Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled
Thoughts lost, traipsing my mind field
Shotgun, never behind the wheel anymore
Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror
Slowly, can one so lost be found?
And I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm right
If life is but a dream, then wake me up
Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn
The view from hell is blue sky
So ominously blue
Daydream until all the blue is gone
I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm right
If life is but a dream
2.I Sat By The Ocean
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
I sat by the ocean & drank a potion to erase you.
Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn't face you.
There ain't no use in crying. It doesn't change anything,
So what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize.
Maybe, I don't need them too.
You. Me. & a lie.
Silence is closer.
We're passing ships in the night.
There's nowhere to run away.
Said,
boy if you want love, you'll have to go & find it with someone
new.
do you know who you really are? are you sure it's really you?
Lies are a funny thing.
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to
you.
Time wounds all the heals. Then we fade out of view.
You. Me. & a lie.
Silence is closer.
We're passing ships in the night.
End to the night, left with nowhere to hide.
Closer
& closer
We're crashing ships in the night
3.The Vampyre Of Time And Memory
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
I want to God to come and take me home
'Cause I'm all alone in this crowd
Who are you to me?
Who am I supposed to be?
Not exactly sure anymore
Where's this going to?
Can I follow through?
Or just follow you
For a while?
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
Ain't no confusion here, it is as I feared
The illusion that you feel is real
To be vulnerable is needed most of all
If you intend to truly fall apart
You think the worst of all is far behind
The Vampyre of time and memories has died
I survived.
I speak, I breathe,
I'm incomplete
I'm alive - hooray!
You're wrong again
'Cause I feel no love
Does anyone ever get this right?
Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love
I feel no love
4.If I Had A Tail
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
Gitchy, gitchy, uh la la
Da doo ron ron
You won't get far
I'm machine, I'm obsolete
In the land of the free
Lobotomy
I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I want to cry and I want to spit
Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same
It's how you look
Not how you feel
The city of glass
With no heart
If I had a tail, I'd own the night
If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies
Gitchy, gitchy, uh la la
Da doo ron ron
You won't get far
Animals in
The midnight zone
When you own the world
You're always home
Get your hands dirty
Roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed or true believers
Buy flash cars
Diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things
I'm machine
I'm obsolete
In the land of the free
Immortality
If I had a tail, I'd own the night
If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies
TV dancing on the scars, TV dance.
5.My God Is The Sun
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
Far beyond the desert road
where everything ends up
So good the empty space, mental erase
Forgive, forgot
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
I don't know what time it was
I don't wear a watch
So good to be an ant who crawls
atop a spinning rock
(beyond...)
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Healing, kneeling
godless heathens
Godless heathens always waltz on the sky...
6.Kalopsia
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
I never lied
To myself
Tonight
Rose-tinted eyes
Colour my sorrow
A shade of why
Bye bye black balloon
See you real soon
Wave bye bye
Bye bye
Why were you so sad?
What have we done?
Forget those blabber buffoons
They're off playing gun
Is it wonderful?
7.Fairweather Friends
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMark LaneganMichael ShumanTroy Van
Leeuwen
Is there anyone out there?
Or am I walking alone?
When I turned around and found that you'd gone before
The first rain could fall
It seems every single time I was bleeding
Broken promises that never came true
Well it ain't so long before the dawn
When the sun is gone so are
Well, so are you
So what's it gonna take
To get you back in bed?
Gossip, drugs, and snakes
They're just our best fairweather friends (fairweather Friends)
Fairweather Friends (fairweather Friends)
One day when we're far away
From everything that hurts
Drink and screw is all we'll do
Every day
So what's it gonna take
To get you back in bed?
Gossip, drugs, and snakes
They're just our best fairweather friends (fairweather Friends)
And though the hour's late
Don't let 'em in your head (fairweather Friends)
Gonna pray for rain again and again
Fairweather Friends
Fairweather Friends (fairweather Friends)
Fair--I don't give a shit about 'em anyhow...
8.Smooth Sailing
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
It's all in motion
No stoppin' now
I've got nothin' to lose
And only one way up
I'm burning bridges
I destroy the mirage
Oh, visions of collisions
Fuckin 'bon voyage
It's all smooth sailing
From here on out
I got bruises and hickies
Stitches and scars
Got my own theme music
It plays wherever I are
Fear is the hand
That pulls your strings
A useless toy
Pitiful plaything
I'm inflagranti
In every way
It's all smooth sailing
From here on out
I'm gon' do the damage
That needs gettin' done
God only knows
Where love vacations
If reason is priceless
There's no reason to pay for it
It's so easy to see
And so hard to find
Make a mountain of a mole hill
If the mole hill is mine
I hypnotize you
And no one can find you
I blow my load
Over the status quo
Here we go
I'm a little bit nonchalant
But I dance
I'm risking it always
No second chance
It's gonna be smooth sailing
From here on out
I'm gon' do the damage
'Til the damage is done
God only knows
So mind your behavior
Follow prescriptions
Of your lord and savior
Every temple is gold
Every hook is designed
Hell is but the temple
Of the closed mind
Closed mind
Closed mind
Closed mind
It's all smooth sailing
From here on out
Shut up...
Pow!
9.I Appear Missing
Writer(s):Dean FertitaJosh HommeMichael ShumanTroy Van Leeuwen
Calling all comas,
Prisoner on the loose.
Description:
A spitting image of me
Except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out
Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Prison of sleep
Deepened now
A rabbit hole never to be found
...again
Where are you hiding, my love?
Cast off like a stone. Feelings
Raw and exposed when I'm out of control
Pieces were stolen from me
But dare I say, given away
Watching the water give in
As I go down the drain
I appear missing now
I go missing,
No longer exist
One day I hope
I'm someone you'd met
Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper I sleep
Further down
A rabbit hole never to be found
It's only falling in love
Because you hit the ground
10....Like Clockwork
Writer(s):Charlie MayJames LavelleJosh HommeTroy Van Leeuwen
Everyone it seems
Has somewhere to go
And the faster the world spins
But shorter the lights will glow
And I'm swimming in the night
Chasing down the moon
The deeper in the water
The more I long for you
Most of what you see my dear
Is purely for sure
Because
Not everything that goes around
Comes back around, you know
Holding on too long is just
A fear of letting go
Because
Not everything that goes around
Comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear
It's all down hill
From here
The love line in your hand
Cleverly disguised
All the promises of stone
Crumble in the night
Most of what you see my dear
Is worth letting go
Because
Not everything that goes around
Comes back around, you know
Holding on too long is just
A fear of what's to show
Because
Not everything that goes around
Comes back around, you know
Not everything that goes around
Comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear
It's all down hill
From here
