Eat It

I've got a thing or two to say
About our progression
To tell a lie and to be afraid
Are nutrients for digestion
And I could hardly look away
On this precipice I sit
From the carnage I relay
Why should I even think of it?
In the end, like all the books I've read
I will feed your head
And no matter what is right
I will make you fight
So give it up now
Give it up you're failing
Don't try to be something that you're not
You're a thespian with no training
Well I'm just gonna call it out, all facts are just the word of mouth
And I will never shed my doubt of anything I hear about
Said who the fuck is gonna make me?
In the end, like all the books I've read
I will feed your head
And no matter what is right
I will make you fight

I've seen the dark embrace
Of a man with no disgrace
I've known what's become my own
And lived as my scars have shown
Still I've run like a lion
Charismatic, brave, and strong
Still I've battled my demon
Even if my mind was wrong
I've felt the burning flame
Of a heart with all the blame
For a boy with eyes so blue
Held your hand as you came to
Still I've fought like a lion
Charismatic, brave, and strong
Still I've beaten my demon
Even if now you are gone
Oh God, where have you been?
Can't you see what a mess I'm in?
All I ever wanted was to be free
But what's free when I've lost me?
Still I've died like a lion
Charismatic, brave, and strong
Still I've walked with my demon
Even if this is my last song

Not on the job
Ain't ready to go
Is there something there?
Said I don't know
Sometimes I catch myself thinking aimlessly
My friends and I we play this game
Send our emotions up in flames
let's watch them burn
Just you and me
You won't get scorched if you're lucky
Na na na na, It's in the distance
Na na na na, Appease the needs of the resistance
Na na na na, It's who I am
Na na na na, And that's not so bad
And how I feel and what I see
What I can't get is what it means to me
My friends and I
We stagger home
Sit strung out waiting by the phone
Just let me laze the day away
By nightfall I'll be wide awake
Driving around this nowhere town
Na na na na, It's in the distance
Na na na na, Appease the needs of the resistance
Na na na na, It's who I am
Na na na na, And that's not so bad

Everything we built is riding for a fall
And everything we're building has broken down and stalled
This fire has reached the wall
So who wins after all?
Well I'm too lazy to change my frown
The sins of our father reek in this town
So sit back or lie all the way down
And watch the blood drip down her gown
Still one question lingers as the session suspends
Why a knife is concealed in the hands of our friends
To me, this system is worse and pretend
Like a stab in the back is a means to an end
Will the strength of the mass and the crass and the wise
Step out of the blacklight and out of disguise
Lean to the side you'll get a surprise
Don't lean at all and you'll break your ties
Even so who can know which path is good
And we're burned again like I knew we would
Lights, bites, pipes in the hood
The one on the stand never understood
What's the accomplishment of fame?
Stupendous, the interdependence of pain
For shame, you broke the rules of the game
But be warned, you have still one beast left to tame
We must prepare for a two front war
These next few years can redeem the past four
But first the dead must finish their tour
And the suits must come back from the shore
Everything we built is riding for a fall
And everything we're building has broken down and stalled
This fire has reached the wall
So who wins after all

Pleasure and Pain

Strike me with lightning
Reignite these slowly fading embers
Send sparks right through me
Give me hopes for a warm December
Give me a moment on this issue
Give me the words, Can I kiss you?
Give me pleasure, and give me pain
Now let me hear you call out my name
Emancipation
Let me feel those silly things for me
Tune to that station
We'll find a song on which we both agree
Bring me out of my seclusion
I have reached my next conclusion
Give me pleasure, and give me pain
Now let me hear you call out my name
Mind is clear, my eyes are wide
I'm taking a step on the outside
The Boy Wonder is now a man
Who's the first to take my hand
I've moved along
Let's sit with blankets sipping on some tea
Two voices one song
Bust the lock, throw away the key
Here our paths are intertwined
Will you be the one at my side?
Give me pleasure, and give me pain
Now let me hear you call out my name!
