Controversy Loves Company

The Audition Controversy Loves Company Lyrics
1.Lawyers

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

Chapter 1 takes place on empty canvases
And idle hands are silencing the oxygen
The clock keeps the beat, the sweat turns to beads
And the salt burns me alive, but my tears have all run dry

I haven't slept in days, the devil's just like cocaine
Gradually constant and permanently pain

Stop and breathe, it was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare, nothing to worry
Stop and breathe, it was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare, nothing to worry about

Chapter 3, the things that lawyers never tell

Chinese finger trap, arms tied behind your back
And you wish that we'd lend a hand, but that wasn't in the
contract
This is your fascination, inflammable exaggeration.
Signature signed in blood, but it's artwork that we love

I haven't slept in days, the devil's just like cocaine
Gradually constant and permanently pain.

Stop and breathe, it was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare, nothing to worry
Stop and breathe, it was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare, nothing to worry about

Wrap your hands around this pen, I'll show you what it is to
live
Wrap your hands around this pen, I'll show you what it is to
live
Wrap your hands around this pen, I'll show you what it is to
live
Wrap your hands around this pen, I'll show you what it is to
live, live

Stop and breathe, it was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare, nothing to worry
Stop and breathe, it was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare, nothing to worry about


2.La Rivalita

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

Am I the one you see in your so-called nightmares?
Wake up and dance, dance to the beat of the drama
Since beggars can't be choosers, I'll play the victim while you
play the fool
This one goes out on, this one goes out on popular demand

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising

We are the ones you've named the, the unaccepted?
Wake up and dance, dance to the beat of the drama
Since liars can be bruisers, you'll play the victim while we
play the fool
Tonight, this one's going out on yourself because of popular
demand

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising

So hit me back, here's another track you can count on losing
So take that, here's our plan of attack so count on bruising


3.Approach The Bench

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

The crimes I've committed
Aren't heard by any judge
And there are only two in this courtroom
And I must confess

What's done is done
And I'm not the type that can't be conned
Into being convinced
We both know this

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

These acts of immorality are the only things
Keeping me quiet
Why can't you just accept the fact
That I'm only as loyal as my options?

I can't believe that you would ever trust me

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

You could call me a rolling stone
'Cause I'm always on the road
Every night I wonder if you're there alone

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook

I should be ashamed of this, I'm not
'Cause I have tasted grapes
This smile, don't look
It's my bait, my words, the hook


4.Smoke And Mirrors

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

I've been sneaking glances
And writing lines about you
What you think you can take back are the things
That are going to haunt you

This time won't be the last time
That I'm coming straight for your heart
You know how I move
And if I must say, I know that I'm worth

More than you thought
You've never compromised without rolling your
I know you've completely torn apart the fact that we could be

I'm on the search, two floors high
I see the girl that I've been chasing after
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after

I can't begin to explain this infatuation
That I've grown with you
And all that has to do with every moment
That I'm here and you're not

More than you thought
You've never compromised without rolling your
I know you've completely torn apart the fact that we could be

I'm on the search, two floors high
I see the girl that I've been chasing after
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after

And I thought that I would make it, but you escaped it
And you swore that you would take this somewhere, somewhere
Now I'm lost and you're just fakin' the way you played this
The escape game never seemed so cruel when

I'm on the search, two floors high
I see the girl that I've been chasing after
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after

I'm on the search, two floors high
I see the girl that I've been chasing after
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after


5.You've Made Us Conscious

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

We are the leaders and the preachers
Teaching you what is right from wrong
And even if a hint of nonsense
Has made us clearly conscious
We'll be the first ones to act
Be the first ones to act in

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

Oh, oh, oh, look at what
We've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no, take another glance
And remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall

You are the so-called weak and reckless
Waiting for the next big explosion
No matter if it's wrong or right
If we let you have this
You'll be the first to destroy
Be the first to destroy it

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

Oh, oh, oh, look at what
We've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no, take another glance
And remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
You know you need this
The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
You know you need this

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

Oh, oh, oh, look at what
We've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no, take another glance
And remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall


6.It's Too Late

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

What you, what you see is
Something you can't distinguish
Something you know that you love

What you, what you need is
Something she'll never be
I think it's time to let you go

Go and ask the captain
Do it now, do it before we drown

It's too late, it's too late
I think the tide has come to wash you out
Wash you away from here
Wash you away from here

Here comes the storm
It's moving in and swallowing
Like the bottom half of an hourglass
And we're running out of space

Go and ask the captain
Do it now, do it before we drown

It's too late, it's too late
I think the tide has come to wash you out
Wash you away from here
Wash you away from here

Empty ocean is all we see
The North Star is all we need
This time is probably right for everyone
To say their goodbyes

'Mayday, mayday!', she said to me
However, it's too late
Captain, oh Captain, we've lost our direction

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late

It's too late, it's too late
I think the tide has come to wash you out
Wash you away from here
Wash you away from here


7.The Ultimate Cover Up

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

Left alone
Your voice once gave me
The comfort to continue

Two thousand miles
I'm hopeless and broken
You're gutless and hoping to run into hope
And this isn't getting any easier

They won't understand it
What you've hidden from them
This isn't getting any easier

So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well

Once again, your lies still give me
The heartache to continue

One thousand miles
You're coming closer
It's been so long I can hardly remember
This is getting so much easier

They won't understand it
What you've hidden from them
And this is getting so much easier

So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well
Come on, you know me too well

Once again, your lies still give me
The heartache to continue

So is this what you wanted?
Too bad, it's what you got
So should this be my farewell?
Come on, you know me too well
Come on, you know me too well

9.Dance Halls Turn To Ghost Towns

Lyricist:Seth James Johnson, Joseph Matthew Lussa, Ryan O'connor,
Daniel James Stevens

Who is it tonight, Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

The bookshelf spins when I pull the Websters
From the third row, second from the right
And this is where the chemicals grow
This is where reactions flow
The dictionary chemical cookbook
Was meant to hook you into me

Would you please take off your lab coat?
Kiss me as we roll through every chemical
Would you please put on your dance shoes?
(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
Cause I'm sick of dancing alone

Who is it tonight, Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

Two hints lust, then I mix some charm
With a dash of wits, add some good looks
And then close the doors and dim the lights
This will finally be the night
The dictionary chemical cookbook
Will finally hook you into me

Would you please take off your lab coat?
Kiss me as we roll through every chemical
Would you please put on your dance shoes?
(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
'Cause I'm sick of dancing alone

Stolen everything you worked for
Love was lost but better to remember
Left side, suicide
Left side, suicide

Please take off your lab coat
And kiss me as we roll
Please put on your dance shoes
And join me in this waltz

Would you please take off your lab coat?
Kiss me as we roll through every chemical
Would you please put on your dance shoes?
(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
'Cause I'm sick of dancing alone

Please take off your lab coat
Kiss me as we roll
Please put on your dance shoes
(Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
'Cause I'm sick of dancing alone
