Morning Paper
03:57

|
Born broke, in a scent (innocent)
Yellow smoke, from a cigarette
Worst part isn’t over yet
Eyes glued on an accident
Handed down a broken crown
Handed down a tarnished crown
Keep quiet boy, don’t make a sound
Hold your tongue, don’t make a sound
Said I saw it with my own two eyes
Said I saw it with my own two eyes
The kind of thing to cut you down to size
The kind of love to cut you down to size
Momma grew up to be a faker
Daddy grew up to be a taker
Never saw it in your morning paper, It was news to me.
At the turn of the century, I was dancing with my misery
And I held her up for all to see
At the quarter of the century, I am flirting with my destiny
And she brings me down to my knees
Handed down a broken crown
Handed down a tarnished crown
Keep quiet boy, don’t make a sound
Hold your tongue, don’t make a sound
Said I saw it with my own two eyes
The kind of thing to cut you down to size
The kind of love to cut you down to size
Momma grew up to be a faker
Daddy grew up to be a taker
At the turn of the century, I was dancing with my misery
And I held her up for all to see
At the quarter of the century, I am flirting with my destiny
And at her I shout and I scream
At the turn of the century, I was dancing with my misery
And she’d pirouette for all to see
At the quarter of the century I am flirting with my destiny
And she brings me down to my knees
At the turn of the century there wasn’t much left in me
I found it hard to see
At a quarter of a century, there is still so much left in me,
And I need you to believe

Monster

There’s a monster in me
Let me warn you be careful
You won’t like what you see
I’m a monster, angry.
There’s a monster in me
Let me warn you it’s easy
You won’t like what you see
I’m a monster, I get angry.
That’s right.
Stop messing with me
I’ll destroy you be careful
You won’t like what you see
I’m a monster, angry.
Monster!
There’s a monster in me
When its time for the feeding
There is no beauty left in this beast
All the angels start screaming.
Monster!

Sound The Sirens

King Leer is calling all of his jesters
To gather around for some well rehearsed delirium
Said I need a queen to fill the half empty cup
Long and lean, if you’ll please
Grant my wishes, I have ambitions
Crazy kings, they get what they want
Queen Dolorous dancing through the courtyard
She spins around and round
The king has found his heroine
Such a lovely queen to harbor all of his pains
Just make the scene, don’t cause the crown disgrace
Granted wishes turn out so vicious
For pretty princesses, who get what they want
Karmic horses are changing courses
Aimed for your fortress
Sound the Sirens
Run Run Run.
Granted wishes turn out so vicious
For pretty princess, who get what they want
Karmic horses are changing courses
Aimed right for your fortress
Sound the sirens
Sound the sirens.

Hang On To Yourself

Emotions like ghosts
Chained to my bed
In the middle of the night
They dance in my head
Their skinny and faceless
Their timing is bad
Most come alive
After there dead.
Wake in the morning
The first thing I see
Sex in religion
There is war on TV
Think you found god
Now you’re down on your knees
You’re hope is a prison
It is hard to break free
When time has run out
And there is no one else
Don’t scream, don’t shout
Don’t beg, don’t pout
Hang onto Yourself
Your tools and puppets
Players and pawns
Ignorant to the mechanics
Yet you still play along
Tell all your stories
Until your throat has run dry
Accuse the hypocrites
They are playing both sides
If you look in the mirror I’m sure that you’ll see
Like a man with no religion finds it hard to believe
With admission of sin that his soul could be freed
If you open your eyes, I am sure that you’ll see
When time has run out
And there is no one else
Don’t sit
Don’t shake
Don’t bend you’ll break
Hang onto yourself.
