Carnivale 02:49
Childhood secrets scrawled on the wall Masquerade dancers crowding the hall Whispering, shouting run This will be so much fun Mountains of pills to shove down your throat You think we'll play nice But surely we won't The game's just beginning And its all your fault This will be so much fun Shattered stained glass litters the past Cutting our throats and painting our masks Ribbons are flying, our friends are dying Oh this will be so much fun Blood runs thicker, the river runs red Oh soon enough darling, your dreams will be dead If childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies Adolescence is the land of the dead Crystal clear smiles and shadowy hosts Invading your mind and bringing back ghosts The game is ending, you're cutting it close Oh this will be so much fun We're bending the rules, your mind's being twisted You're finally playing, the fog's being lifted You're a dancer now, you move like a spider Building your web, you think like a fighter You're one of us now, you truly belong Come take our hand, come sing our song Waltz with us till the shadows of dawn Oh this will be so much fun

Insomniacs 03:33
We're insomniacs Running around our cribs We've run out of blankets Chasing our tails, we spin We're insomniacs We pry our eyes open with fear We shake and we tremble Afraid what the darkness might hear Here comes the zombie man, drooling his puddle of blood The wolf man, he sharpens his claws on the rug It's a tone deaf ragtime dance and we're all caught in a trance of Hallucinations Hallucinations With a holiday for witches and monsters under the bed I toss and turn, my mouth it fills with the taste of dread My daydreams are bad dreams, my skin of courage shed I wake up every night and scream, "I'm about to lose my head" We're insomniacs Chewing our nails too thin Running from nothing Cuts break open our skin We're insomniacs Leaving a trail of red We hide and we pray that This madness is all in our heads It's a nightmarish off-time beat and we think it's kinda neat With its hallucinations Hallucinations With a holiday for witches and monsters under the bed I toss and turn, my mouth it fills with the taste of dread My daydreams are bad dreams, my skin of courage shed I wake up every night and scream, "I'm about to lose my head" With a costume parade for demons and nightmares to be fed Bar the windows and lock the doors, or the ghouls will have your head My daydreams are bad dreams, my skin of courage shed I wake up every night and scream, "I'm about to lose my head"

Pariah 02:46
They call me Belle, they call me monster They call me outcast, they call me shame I try to run from this disaster That I've become, that is my name I want to leave this endless game I can't go on, not in my pain They call me Belle, they call me monster They call me outcast, they call me shame They call me Louis, they call me fear They call me sin, I disappear They want to burn me, they want to hear My little screams, and see my tears And I can't run, so I just wait In the mud and in the rain They call me Louis, they call me fear They call me sin, so I disappeared They call me pain, they call me fire They call me death, they call me Cain I kill and murder, I dare and escape I fight with horror, honor can wait And I don't care, just who I slaughter It doesn't matter, no, not to me They call me pain, they call me fire They call me death, they call me Cain

I had a few friends down in Cell Block 16 They were ruthless and terrifying and just downright mean But they showed me the ropes, taught me how to survive You have to be brutal if you want to stay alive Cell Block 16 is a savage place Full of vicious and cutthroat inmates If you wanna make it through, don't ever show your face Or those cold blooded convicts, your name they will erase I served a lot of time down in Cell Block 16 In there for murder, thieving, and selling methamphetamine I'm as cold as they come. I have no sympathy But I know that no one down here has done crimes worse than me Cell Block 16 is a savage place Full of vicious and cutthroat inmates If you wanna make it through, don't ever show your face Or those cold blooded convicts, your name they will erase Cell Block 16 is a merciless place Full of callous and remorseless inmates If you wanna make it through, don't ever show your face Or a jailbird like me may put your spine out of place

Paperback pony rides and animal cut outs Birds in mosaics, with lies in their feathers and paper mache river trouts Black and blue skin Against red and tan bruises The palest of roses Against bloody cut coffins An ocean of tears Holding wishes afloat A sailor of death, stuck in his boat With nowhere to go Ribbons of skin That make up the people Puddles of colour that fill in the world Flowing in and outside of the lines In and outside of the lines Here on Mercy Street We take our chances, and no one ever dies We drink the dirt; we smoke the clouds Here on Mercy Street Stone faces carved on the street To keep the sadness from lonely feet We make hats, we make scarves But never sell shoes, so our faces can have friends too Paper plate voices shout from their cancer clubs Reeling you in with their false promises Splashes of ink That outline the boundaries Sugary hues tuck the sun into bed Shading in and outside of the lines In and outside of the lines Here on Mercy Street Where the beat quickens and no one ever cries We praise the herds We curse the wolves Here on Mercy Street Here on Mercy Street Here on Mercy Street

Crayon Head 02:52
She's got a mind like diamonds Eyes just like bedroom sheets A head full of crayons Her image can't be beat Her image can't be beat Her image can't be beat Red and blue ribbons lace her hair A honeybee dress shows off skin so fair She's droppin' jaws and meeting glares She's causing a scene but she just don't care Red and blue ribbons lace her hair A honeybee dress shows off skin so fair She's droppin' jaws and meeting glares She's causing a scene but she just don't care That girl's a jewel and you are dreamin' Thinking you could love Something with that much freedom With a face full of stars and lips from the movies Her heart is an engine Her soul is a fog Her soul is a fog Black and white ties adorn her neck Her ocean blue suit gets her respect She's droppin' jaws and meeting glares She's causing a scene but she just don't care That girl's a gem and you are reeling You can't believe She's even breathing Standing alone, a quarter to 2 You see her and she sees you Your heart is beating, you're stuck like glue You smile at her, she winks at you That boy's a prize and you are kneeling Hoping and praying You get to meet him

Possibly 04:22
Face to face in the night Back to back in the light A shadow, a flare A dream, a nightmare I could be anything, yes I could be anything that everyone can see Possibly, oh possibly I'm never there, I'm everywhere Possibly, oh possibly I could be something new The corner of your eye The flicker down the hall I could be watching, waiting Staring you down A predator, a murderer A hellhound, a soldier I could be anything, yes I could be anything that no one can see Possibly, oh possibly I'm never there, I'm everywhere Possibly, oh possibly I could be something old In your mind all the time In the mirror a reflected face A hater, a lover A liar, a hero A hater, a lover A liar, a hero I could be anything, yes I could be anything that you can see Possibly, oh possibly I'm never there, I'm everywhere Possibly, oh possibly I could be you

Stainless steel washers lined up in a row 16-bit beeping turned down low Water tinging pink, but no one will know Fluorescent lights shine oppressively cruel Footsteps behind me, gotta keep my cool A man asks for quarters, ha! What a tool I’m still an angel with my silky wings A golden halo fit for a king The world has an illness and a cure I bring In my pocket sits the knife of morality Entitling me to precious immortality Their blood flow was the only technicality

Concrete 03:39
Time keeps on falling at my feet Like stepping stones, each platform has Its own emotional beat and I'm walking drunk down the sidewalk Swallowing my tears, swallowing my fears and I'm going oh so far away x2 The sunset sets up another twilight But I know it won't stay, and I'm losing breath I'm losing faith Take the sun set away x2 Railings to keep you from a cliff Keeping your freedom tangled in a knot Yeah, that's what you've got Twisting your words Chasing the birds Down the ocean boardwalk Down red tinted streets Snapping your back at break neck speeds The sunset sets up another twilight But I know it won't stay, and I'm losing breath I'm losing faith Take the sun set away x2 Time keeps on falling at my feet Like stepping stones, each platform has Its own emotional beat and I'm walking drunk down the sidewalk Swallowing my tears, swallowing my fears and I'm going oh so far away x2 The sunset sets up another twilight But I know it won't stay, and I'm losing breath I'm losing faith Take the sun set away x2

I'm a candy caddy surgeon, I do it for kicks I'm fixin' little boys and I'm fixin' on chicks I steal from the thin as they wait at my door and I fill them all up with sugar galore I'm an Indian giver, with flies in my eyes and I can't see nothin' but blackened out skies I play a hard game that nobody wins and I'll get up tomorrow and do it again Ice cream man, we'll push your soft serve van over Give back our money or give us our order We wait in the rain for your song to come play So the riot will start up again I'm some millionaire's kid, with mountains of gold But I chose the life that I ought to own Based on grades on complexion and useless skills Not worth much, just more bills With iced rice popsicles and liver cones I'm filling them with toxins and shipping them home I'm paying for rent, I'm paying for god and I didn't lose the car, just the parking lot Ice cream man, we'll push your soft serve van over Give back our money or give us our order We wait in the rain for your song to come play So the riot will start up again I'm a pristine teenager with crabapple cheeks I got nothing to lose, just pointless weeks Well, I like to gamble, and I like to cheat and I'm quick with my wit, just not quick on my feet Well, it's all fun and games until someone gets sick and that one is me and I'm going to quit I'm done with this game, I'm losing my fame I don't want to play anymore Ice cream man, we'll push your soft serve van over Give back our money or give us our order We wait in the rain for your song to come play So the riot will start up again I'm a pencil pushing daisy pusher I block out the noise of crying kids and racecar skids and electric toys I'm waiting on angels, I'm waiting on hell and whoever gets there first, best have something to sell I'm not racin' for a placin' at the tippity top and nothing but death is gonna make me stop I won't hit the brakes, I won't hit the gas I'll just sit here like an animal being watched through the glass Through the glass
