1. Ode To Sleep
[Verse]
N.C.
I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy,
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing,
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling,
Then I feel my soul start leaving, like an old man's hair receding,
I'm pleading please, oh please on my knees repeatedly asking,
Why it's got to be like this, is this living free,
I don't want to be the one, be the one who has the son's blood on my hands,
I'll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness,
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon.
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll stay awake, 'cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight.
Why am I not scared in the morning,
(
I don't hear those voices calling,
I must have kicked them out,
I must have kicked them out,
I swear I heard demons yelling,
(
Those crazy words they were spelling,
They told me I was gone,
They told me I was gone.
[Chorus]
But I'll tell them,
Why won't you let me go?
Do I threaten all your plans?
I'm insignificant.
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
I'll tell them!
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
N.C.
On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake,
As the trees they await and clouds anticipate,
The start of a day when we put on our face,
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us,
But we open our eyes 'cause we're told that we must,
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead,
Desperately yelling there's something we need,
I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times,
Same amount that I denied, I three-time mvp'ed this crime,
I'm afraid to tell you who I adore, won't tell you what I'm singing towards,
Metaphorically I'm a whore, and that's denial number four.
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll stay awake, 'cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight.
Why am I not scared in the morning,
(
I don't hear those voices calling,
I must have kicked them out,
I must have kicked them out,
I swear I heard demons yelling,
(
Those crazy words they were spelling,
They told me I was gone,
They told me I was gone.
[Chorus]
But I'll tell them,
Why won't you let me go?
Do I threaten all your plans?
I'm insignificant.
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
[Outro]
I'll tell them
I'll tell them
I'll tell them
I'll tell them
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
I'm sorry
2. Holding On To You
[Verse 1]
I'm taking over my body, back in control, no more shotty,
I bet a lot of me was lost, 't's uncrossed and 'I's undotted,
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got,
Not anymore, flesh out the door, swat,
I must've forgot, you can't trust me,
I'm open a moment and close when you show it,
Before you know it I'm lost at sea,
And now that I write and think about it, And the story unfolds,
You should take my life, you should take my soul.
Ladadadadadaladadadadada x2
[Pre-chorus]
(Only change of the song)
You are surrounding all my surroundings,
Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain,
You are surrounding all my surroundings,
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes.
And I'll be holding on to you [x2]
[Chorus]
Remember the moment you know exactly where you're going,
'Cause the next moment, before you know it,
Time is slowing and it's frozen still,
And the window sill looks really nice, right?
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,
Right? Fight it, take the pain, ignite it,
Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,
To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me,
This ain't a noose, this is a leash,
And I have news for you, you must obey me."
[Pre-chorus]
You are surrounding all my surroundings,
Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain,
You are surrounding all my surroundings,
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes.
(Strum eighth notes, no longer on upbeat)
Entertain my faith [x10]
[x4:]
Lean with it, rock with it,
When we gonna stop with it,
Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought,
Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat,
It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, it's our hearts that make the beat.
3. Migraine
[Verses]
am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
[Interlude] -x2-: C F Am G
I - I - I - I - I've got a migraine
And my pain will range from up, down and sideways
Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always
Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
Let it be said what the headache represents
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
That's represented best by my
Depress...ing thoughts
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
And sometimes death seams better than the migraine in my head
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know we've made it this far, kid
Yeah yeah yeah!
I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
a difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
And how it is a door that holds back contents
That make Pandora's Box's contents look nonviolent
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
My mind's shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could
Find, I did not know this was such a violent island
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know we've made it this far, kid
Yeah yeah yeah!
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
But I know we've made it this far, kid
Made it this far
Made it this.
4. House Of Gold
[Chorus 1]
N.C.
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
N.C.
Will you buy me a house of gold?
N.C.
And when your father turns to stone,
N.C.
Will you take care of me?"
[Chorus 2]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Bridge 1]
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
[Verse 1]
Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside-down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after, happily
[Chorus 3]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Bridge 2]
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
[Verse 2]
And since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone
[Chorus 4]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Bridge 3]
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
5. Car Radio
[Intro]
[Verse]
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
[Chorus]
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
[Verse]
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel
[Chorus]
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
[Break]
[Verse]
I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There's faith and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think
[Chorus]
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
[Break]
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
[Chorus]
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
6. Semi-Automatic
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Night falls... with gravity
The earth turns... from sanity
Taking my only friend I know
He leaves a lot
His name is hope
[Chorus]
I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cos I'm twisted up
I'm twisted up... inside
[Verse 2]
The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on, my shadow grows taller along with my fears
And my friends shrink smaller as night grows near
When the sun is climbing window sills
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun makes the hills its grave
[Chorus] (x2)
I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cos I'm twisted up
I'm twisted up... inside (my mind)
[Interlude]
[Bridge 1] (x4)
I'm semi-automatic
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
[Bridge 2]
By the time the night wears off,
The dust is down and shadows burn
I will rise and stand my ground,
Waiting for the night's return.
[Chorus] (x2)
I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cos I'm twisted up
I'm twisted up... inside (my mind)
[Interlude]
7. Screen

G----|--------------|---------------|------|-----|------0-------
I do not know why I would go,
In front of you and hide my soul,
'Cause you're the only one who knows it,
Yeah you're the only one who knows it,
And I will hide behind my pride,
I don't know why I think I can lie,
'Cause there's a screen on my chest,
Yeah there's a screen on my chest.
I'm standing in front of you,
I'm standing in front of you,
I'm trying to be so cool,
Everything together, trying to be so cool.
[x2]
A-3--|5-5-5-5-3
E----|---------
C----|5-5-5-5-5
G----|---------
I can't see past my own nose,
I'm seeing everything in slow-mo,
Look out below crashing down to the ground,
Just like a vertical locomotive, that's a train,
a train from the sky, locomotive, my motives are insane,
My flow's not great, ok,
I conversate with people who know,
If I flow on a song I'll get no radio play,
While you're doing fine, there's some people and I,
Who are having a really tough time getting through this life,
So excuse us while we sing to the sky.
I'm standing in front of you,
I'm standing in front of you,
I'm trying to be so cool,
Everything together, trying to be so cool.
[x2]
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
We're broken, we're broken
We're broken, we're broken people
We're broken people. yeah
[x3]
I'm standing in front of you,
I'm standing in front of you,
I'm trying to be so cool,
Everything together, trying to be so cool.
[x2]
8. The Run And Go
[Verse 1]
I can't take them on my own, my own
Oh, I'm not the one you know, you know
I have killed a man and all I know
Is I am on the run and go.
[Chorus]
Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I'll need you to stay.
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do...
[Verse 2]
I am up against the wall, the wall
For I hear them coming down the hall
I have killed a man and all I know
Is I am on the run and go.
[Chorus]
Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I'll need you to stay.
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do...
[Bridge]
Cold nights under siege from accusations
Cerebral thunder in one-way conversations
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh.
*whistle*
Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I need you to stay.
Tonight I need you to stay! [x4] (end on
9. Fake You Out
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I want to drive away
In the night, headlights call my name
[Pre Chorus]
I, I'll never be, be what you see inside
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
[Chorus]
And I'll fall
And I'll break
And I'll fake
All I wanna
And I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I'm so afraid
Of what you have to say
Cause I am quiet now
And silence gives you space
[Interlude]
[Pre Chorus]
I, I'll never be, be what you see inside
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
[Chorus]
And I'll fall
And I'll break
And I'll fake
All I wanna
And I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
[Bridge]
It's the same game today as it always is
I don't give these places fake my name explaining this
And the wrists of my mind have the bleeding lines
That remind me of all the times...
I have committed
Dirty dirty crimes that are perfectly form-fitted
To what I've done and what I'm doing
I'm brewing and losing and spewing infusing
And believe me that's what all the kids are doing
What kids are doing are killing themselves
They feel they have no control of their prisoner's cell
And if you're one of them then you're one of me
And you would do almost anything just to feel free...
Convince me otherwise would take all night
Before you walk away, there's one more thing I want to say
Our brains are sick but that's okay
[Final Chorus]
And I'll fall
And I'll break
And I'll fake
All I wanna
(keep repeating
All I wanna
Yeah, and I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
Yeah, and I'll fall down
And I'll break down
And I'll fake you out
All I wanna
[Outro]
I'm so afraid
Of what you have to say
Cause I am quiet now
And silence gives you space
10. Guns For Hands
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I know what you think in the morning, when the sun shines on the ground,
And shows what you have done, it shows where your mind has gone.
And you swear to your parents, that it will never happen again,
I know, I know, what that means, I know.
[Pre-Chorus]
That you all have guns, and you never put the safety on.
And you all have plans, to take it, to take it, don't take it, take it, take it.
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
[Verse 2]
Let's take this a second at a time. Let's take this one song, this one rhyme.
Together, let's breathe. Together, to the beat.
But there's hope out the window, so that's where we'll go.
Let's go outside and all join hands but until then you'll never understand.
[Pre-Chorus]
That you all have guns, and you never put the safety on.
And you all have plans, to take it, to take it, don't take it, take it, take it.
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
(Rap)
Third time, rapping starts
We've turned our hands to guns, trade in our thumbs for ammunition. I must
forewarn you of my disorder, my condition.
'Cause when the sun sets, it upsets what's left of my invested interest,
interested in putting my fingers to my head.
The solution is I see a whole room of these mutant kids, fused at the wrist I
simply tell them they should shoot at this.
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music is obviously best for them to turn
their guns to a fist.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
