1.My Assassin
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
The sky blistered red, shot's ring overhead
I'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your
screams
The message was dislocated, misconveyed, incinerated
In the wake of war, just listen for the flood
The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's killing me
Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you?
If not us, can I just save you?
Can't you hear the bombs are calling all our old habits their
own
A sniper patiently awaiting me in every catacomb
Are you scared girl? Won't you be my assassin?
Hunted down for the last time and carried you home
The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's killing me
Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you?
Bring on the love 'cause here comes the flood
Bring on the love 'cause here comes
We must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our
Wrists, our wrists too tight in the shallow, shallow, shallow
Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you?
2.Millionaries
we fall asleep on the runway underneath the noon crucifix.
where they left the light on for us tonight.
fed myself to the sickness and purge myself of the cure.
we watch the nurses pace the cage.
you and i we're never gonna die.
never gonna die in the white lights.
you and i are never gonna die.
servants. suffocate the king.
we've come to take what we don't need.
and built a prison where catherdrals used to be.
we burn every office.
zombies prowl through the school chanting 'this is ours to love
and take apart at will'.
here we are right now.
here we are right now.
these wires, these woven webs, conceal blueprints from me.
here we are right now.
sometimes we kill the lights.
pretend that we survived.
we're never gonna die.
we're never gonna die.
we're never gonna die.
we're never gonna die.

Jeremy Talley
If it starts to feel, then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die
If it starts to sing, reach in remove the sirens
This respirator keeps a countdown to our cancellation
If it starts to bleed, do not adjust the contrast
Doctor, deliver us, heaven holds no truth
For dreamers like you and I
Remember the day they cut our thoughts
We learned to smile from our necks
This is the breech of etiquette
With wires jutting out from arms
I'll never look at you again
If it's only a mirror in the end
And if there's no one after us
We'll turn the lights out when we leave
I'll never look at you again
If it's, it's only, it's only, it's only a mirror
I'll never look at you again
It's only, it's only a mirror
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you again
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you again
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you till we die
Siphon the Ivory with the tusk, we're guilty till we die
We only bleed when the knives are drawn
Vultures pick the meat from the bones, we're guilty till we die
We only love when the camera's on
If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die
If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die
Do not adjust the contrast, my love, our days are numbered
We'll remain guilty till our hearts give in and pull us under
Do not adjust the contrast, my love, our days are numbered
We'll remain guilty till our hearts give in and pull us under
We left our corpses on the beach
Untouched and slightly out of reach
We paint the walls with our dreams
We'll turn the lights out when we leave
We left our corpses on the beach
Untouched and slightly out of reach
We paint the walls with our dreams
We'll turn the lights out when we leave
4.The Last American Cowboy
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
Brace yourself for the plight of the born
As the spotlight strips you bare
Just a useless act in the play of life
Cast as the role of the lover
And I feel slightly misplaced
In a world that fuck or be fucked, kill the lights
Letch, one more time and say it like you mean it
Lush, one more time and tell it like you feel it
Lover, you've got talent but I just don't see it
Wrap your hook around my neck
And get me off, get me off
Get me off your stage
In every coma, lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know, disguise the lies that you fed me last night
These plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst
And nothing could be worse and I know why
And what do I have left?
The composer just went deaf
The singer lost his breath
In the glow of the crowd
The dancer's on a crutch
The writer drank too much
The director lost his touch
In the glow of the crowd
Can you resist the urge to burn the script we wrote?
Bring on the flood before we choke
Applause engulfs the room
We bow into the tombs
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
This is all you need
My love, it follows you
To your grave, to your grave
And I know, my love, it follows you
To your grave, to your grave
In every coma, lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know, disguise the lies that you told me last night
These plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst
And nothing could be worse and I know
In every coma, lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know, disguise the lies that you told me last night
These plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst
And nothing could be worse and I know why
5.Guttershark
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
I crawled for miles
Slit open by a trail of thorns
I prowled, I prowled for vapid avenue
Slurring every word I wished I said
Stranded, a nocturnal hell hole
I have a dread of becoming a martyr
Pry it out, pry it out
Pavement, spits back when the clock strikes
I crawled for miles
And miles
Take the palms
Save the fright from
I sprawled, protypical creature
Mouth wide on a cobblestone canvas
Time lapse, rejected donors
Flee from the scene
Blind numb
On a whiskey slicked highway
I'm reeling towards
The temptation at hand
Fog lights
Disjointed lightning
Nauseous, nauseous
I'm drooling right on cue
I'm sleeping in a pew
It's all misconstrued
Goddamn, this night
Fabricate
Deny
Until the beat makes you sick
Guttershark
Prescribe
The man is void of reason
I crawled for miles and miles
Till the palms
Called it quits, yeah
I crawled for miles
And miles and miles
Take the palms
Save the fright
From fear grips me
Drained, pissed
Drowned
You might cut a man
Just to watch him bleed
You might cure yourself
Of this plague
You might spill your gut's
To this blood thirsty crowd
They might think I'm you
I'm gonna end up you
You can't shake it
The fear, the voice, the tremble
The bittersweet melody is deafening
So hide your broken halo from me
You can't shake it
The fear, the voice, the tremble
The bittersweet melody is deafening
So hide your broken halo from me
I crawled for miles
I crawled for miles
I crawled for miles
6.With An Urgency
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
Hey you, young love
Don't let them cut out your tongue
Swallow the key to your heart
And smile through your teeth
Hey you, young love
Don't let them cut out your tongue
It's only over when we
Choose to forgive them
Give me your hand
When no one else understands
The day the hostages
Are making demands
We gave ourselves
When there was nobody else
We found what we were
Looking for in the summer
I never begged to be immune
To love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you
When you told me I was ruined
And if the sun comes up again
I'll be waiting for the others to come in
They'll never take us alive
And they can never take away
What keeps you safe
When you're afraid to lose it all
Just love and nothing more
Until we love nothing more
Until we love
I never begged to be immune
To love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you
When you told me I was ruined
And if the sun comes up again
I'll be waiting for the others to come in
They'll never take us alive
I never begged to be immune
To love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you
When you told me I was ruined
Hey you, young love
And all that's left of us
Hey you, young love
Hey you, young love
And all that's left of us
Hey you, young love
7.Daylight Bombings
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
The air raids at night are keeping things serene
The president's men are closing in on me
And the crosshair grin you hold me in
Still does not propose an argument
Convincing me to shed the devil's clothes
Electrodes to spine, it's tonguing my wounds clean
That's when the nightmare stops, oh yeah
I had a dream, I had a dream it went
I shackled to the lover of another in a chapel so pristine
Well, Baptized at atheists, I never felt to clean
The more I hear doves cry, the less I want to fly
The more I hear them crying out
When does the seizure end?
When does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over the
Waste of love and back again
Oh my mistress, whoa, sweet distress
Your dress is bringing it all back to me
And we are closer than whores
Caught up in a roundabout in Hell
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one
You can play me out on the hotel floor
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one
You can play me out
The more I hear doves cry, the less I want to fly
The more I hear those doves crying
This is where the plot thickens
Not behind the ribs but below the truth
You can use your sleuth
'Cause I'm begging for proof
This is where the plot thickens
Not behind the ribs but below the truth
You can use your sleuth
'Cause I'm begging for proof, begging for proof
When does the seizure end?
When does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over the
Waste of love and back again
Oh my mistress, whoa sweet distress
Your dress is bringing it all back to me
And we are closer than whores
Caught up in a roundabout
No need to run away
The pig was snuffed and laid
We saw this happening all on the front page
This is the last time we bet on landmines
We've got a lot riding on this one
So save your bullets for the call back
We've got a lot riding on this one
Don't turn your back till you see the blood flow back
8.I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
I see right through you
When you sing it back to me
I read that fine print
And I saw you staggering
Regurgitate the shit you find
In the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind
Congratulate the corpse you drag
Put the money in the body bag
Right in front of us
The stop and start machine
You've been singing with the liar's tongue
With every crippled word you said to me
With every fractured breath and broken glare
You were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck
Abandon what you built, repair your hope with guilt
There's nothing left here to suffocate
With razor wire arms you reach and miss the throat
There's nothing left to love about this city anymore
The politics and the hired whore
Now, save your breath
Now, save your breath
Did this to yourself
You can't repair the punctured lung
Secrets seep through the stress cracks
Shut your mouth
You did this to yourself
Now shut your mouth and pay the rent
Shut your mouth and pay the rent
You say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
You say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
I see right through you when you sing it, when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it
Sing it back to me
Now, say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
Now, say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
9.Millionaires
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
We fall asleep on the runway
Underneath the neon crucifix
Where they left the light on for us tonight
Fed myself to the sickness, purge myself to the cure
We watch the nurses pace the cage
You and I, we're never gonna die
Never gonna die in the white lights
You and I are never gonna die
Servants suffocate the King
We've come to take what we don't need
And build a prison where cathedrals used to be
We burn every office
Zombies prowl through the school chanting
'This is ours to love and take apart at will'
Here we are right now, here we are right now
These wires, these woven webs
Conceal the blueprints from me, here we are right now
Sometimes we kill the lights, pretend that we survived
We're never gonna die, we're never gonna die
We're never gonna die, we're never gonna die
10.She Calls Home
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
I've got such a filthy heart sometimes
When you take me to that place and I never wanna leave
In the middle of, of the night
When everyone is sound asleep, where will you be?
You'll be waiting with a gas mask
In the dark, I can't stop myself
She calls home when I'm not there
So I won't freeze
I need to learn how to breathe
When I'm inside you
Sever the ripcord, sever it
I drift away, I drift away
Further down inside it gets so fucking cold
I come to you to feel helpless
Further down you know it's hard to free myself and you
Just keep driving until it's over
Until they swallow every last drop of me and you
I need to learn how to breathe
I need to learn how to breathe
Further down, I reach inside
Further down, I can't hide
I tried to show you that there's
Nothing you can take away from me
Nothing you can take away from me
Kill me, you're such a beautiful liar
Take me to the place where I'm king
Nothing like the way that you wanted
When you left me behind
11.Antarctica
Lyricist:James Munoz, Ross Ott, Michael Pedicone, Darren Simoes,
Jeremy Talley
The rain begins, the tide it pulls
Keep rolling in, keep rolling in
Alone you float, she won't let go
And it spins you out
Keep rolling in, keep rolling in, keep rolling in
Underneath a web of satellites
Concrete structures puncture holes in the sky
Nothing lives here and no one comes here anymore
Redesign me, I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
Redesign me, I lost my grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
She winks and glows
If I could run from this, I swear I'd take you with me
But this place has got the best of us again
And it won't just go away
We're driving in with our hearts half mast
And there's nothing left to say
Redesign me, I lost my grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
Redesign me, I lost your grip
Peeled apart by the owed
Stick beside me on the road
Keep rolling in
