The Werewolf 03:03
when the day becomes the night something else consumes my sight every full moon must collide as the sirens silence all the violins where's the wolf that's feeding on the hounds? where's the wolf that's feeding on the hounds? in the days of stone and ice heard that rainfall out of sight now your game's in broad daylight when the violins silence all the sirens you set off you did this to yourself thought that you could rig the game and no one would tell you said a beast was on the loose and maybe that was true cause now we know that all this time the werewolf was you the werewolf was you the werewolf was you when the violins silence all the sirens you set off you did this to yourself thought that you could rig the game and rob us to hell you said a beast was on the loose and maybe that was true cause in the end we all found out the werewolf was you the werewolf was you you're the wolf that's feeding on the hounds you're the wolf that's feeding on the hounds

I want you to take me all the way out, all the way in I need you to take me all the way out, all the way in I want you to break me all the way out, all the way in I need you to break me all the way out, all the way in All the way out, all the way in All the way out, all the way in All the way out, all the way in All the way out, all the way in Cause everything up to now couldn't feel it And everything up to now couldn't hear it Cause everything up to now couldn't feel it And everything up to now couldn't feel it And everything up to now couldn't feel it And everything up to now And everything up to now

The blood is bubbling from the lake where myths are made The fish are screaming while you feed the queen the cake The world champion of bingo sends regards Congratulations, you're a fucking super star Eat your dreams (grow up to be like me) Eat your dreams (its well within your reach) Eat your dreams (grow up to be like me) Eat your dreams (its well within your reach) You're so far up your ass you know just how it taste To sell the platitude you put upon the plate A stupid myth of knights and heroes long ago Could not conceal the hamster wheel that fuels the show To work 10 times as hard to feed the parasite All when the starting line is miles and miles behind The dream that never died because it was always fake I'll have mine scattered covered smothered and erased Eat your dreams (grow up to be like me) Eat your dreams (its well within your reach) Eat your dreams (grow up to be like me) Eat your dreams (its well within your reach) Eat your dreams, Eat your dreams Eat your dreams, Eat your dreams Eat your dreams, Eat your dreams Eat your dreams, Eat your dreams Eat your dreams

My Balloon 03:41
My balloon makes friends with all the trees Every morning at the park That was when I let him off his leash Watched him fall into the sun No balloon could ever take his place I cried and cried consumed with grief A slip of hand is really all it takes Now he's watching over me Now he's watching over me Rubber shards among the soiled ground Begging mercy from the sky Cruel finality rings far and loud Fragile sunflowers left behind On the day you flew away from me All the earth stood still and paused Choirs now sing out in your memory Cause you're watching over everyone You're watching over everyone Calling, I'm calling Can you hear me, can you hear me Falling, I'm falling Please retrieve me, retrieve me Calling, I'm calling Can you hear me, please hear me Falling, I'm falling Please retrieve me, retrieve me

I barely made it out of bed The racing thoughts all through my head Wish I could say "OK, you win, now pass through" (Pass through, every time) I'm made of bricks that weigh me down and form the walls that shut me out But every day some way, some how, I smash through (Smash through, every time) So when you tell me just to cheer up and smile more You tell a story bout yourself you don't know I hope one day that you don't feel the way I feel cause you would need twice the strength that you own Smash thru, every time Cause its the only way I know to reach the night, I'm sayin Smash thru, it might be loud, But its the only way I know to work things out I had a hard time as a kid And saw some shitty therapist Who told me "Just don't worry bout it! Its just you" (Just you, and no one else) There's no solution that I know But I know you're not alone And through each day we're just like you We smash through (Smash through, every time) So shut the fuck up when you tell me to smile more You sound more ignorant than you even know I hope one day that you don't feel the way I feel cause you would need twice the strength that you own Smash thru, every time Cause its the only way I know to reach the night, I'm sayin Smash thru, it might be loud, But its the only way I know to work things out Smash, thru, Every time, Only way I know to reach the night, I'm sayin Smash thru, It might be loud, But its the only way I know to work things out Cause its the only way I know

I'm more normal than you I'm more normal than you You could stare inside my window and see nothing new I'm so normal it's true Much more normal than you You could stare inside my window and see nothing new And in the morning I'm not horny And nothing could abhor me You'll never hear me yell But when the night comes don't come for me I'll be sleeping, 8 hours a day I'm more normal than you, I'm more normal than you You could stare inside my window and see nothing new I'm so normal it's true Much more normal than you You could write a song about it but you want this for you Cause through it all I'm always happy Out in the distance laughing And calm at any cost And every tragedy's a story And shakespeare always bored me But I'm sorry for your loss And when the werewolf lunges for me, Cover both my eyes, cover both my eyes As I sleep In my shadow, Eight hours a night I’m sleeping 8 hours a day I’m breathing in any old way I’m eating 3 meals a day I’m cleaning what do you say I’m driving just when I should I’m thriving isn’t it good I’m breathing wouldn’t you know I’m bleeding don’t let it show
