Hello, I'm Strange
03:21
|
|||
I've got busted up hands and a ride for my life
I've got all of these things that just seem to be mine
I see all the patterns connect to the source
I take what I have and I follow my course
I was born with a mind so I can find an idea
From inside my head and what I can reach
I see pictures of you and still I ensue
I'm trading my might for all it can do
Now, you know my name
But you will see with me there's more of an introduction to be had
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
I've got just enough room for myself to call home
I don't have much but at least I'm alone
I've got a whole bunch of friends but none that are close
I guess I could but I'm a hard one to coax
When things become mine I try not to let go
But things always leave, that's just how things go
I know how to survive but I'll never thrive
I don't ask for much so please give me five
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
I try to be good despite what I'm told
I can take the heat but I prefer to be cold
I don't care about much but I know how to love
I figure there must be something above
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange
Hello, I'm strange

What To Do
07:58
|
|||
Weaving through all these kinds of you
Bursting with everything I do
Cage me in with all this light
Every touch will spread tonight
Exchange the change that draws me in
Trade tonight and show your sin
Left your mark in the wrong place
Time your float through every space
Take it all good or bad
There's no use in being sad or mad
Wake up to see time still turns
There's always something that'll mask your hurts
Feed me with fright to find your friends
Glowing tonight and bright in harsh light
They're my best and they think I should go
To really grow to see what to do
Take it all good or bad
There's no use in being sad or mad
Wake up to see time still turns
There's always something that'll mask your hurts
Scatter your skin, that flicking insists
See what could be and what you could see
You fear the life
No, they won't go near you
It's time for a change
You're holy enough
You're holy enough
You're holy enough
You're holy enough

What I've Been Doing
06:29
|
|||
I'm not a sister but I have one
I'm a mister but no one calls me that
I get a blister every time I work
I play twister every time I work
I get tangled in myself
I get mangled by the game
I've been wrangled by the lots
I've jangled all my chains
I'm mild by my nature
I'm wild in my habits
I'm styled for my comfort
I'm a child don't you know?
I'm not much for trepidation but that's just who I am
I've noticed I'm not much of what I tried to be
I work and then I'm lazy
I work and then I'm lazy
I work and then I'm lazy
I work, then I get lazy
I've been drunk
I've been stoned
I've been lusting of most of my life
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
But it's okay
I'm just fine
I can do this all the time
I've been doing this all my life
It's okay
I'm alright
I can sleep tomorrow night
I've been doing it all my life
I am ashamed of everything I do
I can do no right
I think most clearly when I can't speak
I've known every single answer
I've been in charge
I've been out ranked
I've been old
I'll still have been young
I've just been trying to learn everything
But it's okay
I'm just fine
I can do this all the time
I've been doing this all my life
It's okay
I'm alright
I can sleep tomorrow night
I've been doing it all my life
It's okay
I'm just fine
I can do this all the time
I've been doing this all my life
It's okay
I'm alright
I can sleep tomorrow night
I've been doing it all my life
I just want to figure it out
I just want to figure it out
I just want to figure it out
I just want to figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out

You Suck You Fucker

You suck you fucker you piece of shit
You're a goddamn asshole spitting on a row of tits
You're a motherfucking cunt I'm gonna slap you with my dick
Then I'll stick it in your cocksucker and fill it with piss
Why don't you you take a little bit of time
Just to realize what you hear?
You might lose your mind
With all your kinds of fear
But if you keep what you find
It'll take you to next year
And I'll show what is mine
So you can hear me loud and clear
Now don't tell me about your bride
I don't want to hear you jeer
'Cause if you're some kind of snide
Then I don't want you here
Just sit my side
And lend me your ear
If you want to know what's right
Well fuck off my dear
You suck you fucker you piece of shit
You're a goddamn asshole spitting on a row of tits
You're a motherfucking cunt I'm gonna slap you with my dick
Then I'll stick it in your cocksucker and fill it with piss
Now you say you want to play
But you can't wait until today
And now you've got to stay
For there to be a way
In order to know where to go
With that whole reap what you sow
While you watch the show
And take it back nice and slow
Because there's nothing to do
Because there's nothing to prove
Because you know it's true
With all the fingers at you
And what is is what does
And you can fight the fuzz
When there's no one but us
When all becomes just
You suck you fucker you piece of shit
You're a goddamn asshole spitting on a row of tits
You're a motherfucking cunt I'm gonna slap you with my dick
Then I'll stick it in your cocksucker and fill it with piss
You suck you fucker you piece of shit
You're a goddamn asshole spitting on a row of tits
You're a motherfucking cunt I'm gonna slap you with my dick
Then I'll stick it in your cocksucker and fill it with piss
You suck you fucker you piece of shit
You're a goddamn asshole spitting on a row of tits
You're a motherfucking cunt I'm gonna slap you with my dick
Then I'll stick it in your cocksucker and fill it with piss
You suck you fucker you piece of shit
You're a goddamn asshole spitting on a row of tits
You're a motherfucking cunt I'm gonna slap you with my dick
Then I'll stick it in your cocksucker and fill it with piss

Get Down
05:13
|

Waiting patiently for the end of the night
Then it finally came with, oh, such a might
No matter who was where, there was power in the air
This might sound like cheese but I don't fucking care
It felt so great when the power was mine
Fumbling through but still right on time
I could tell it was good when he took her as a friend
And acid in my eye without any blend
And I walked home
'Cause I needed to cool down
Yeah, I walked home
'Cause there was no more get down
Or get out you motherfucker
Vertical stripes are all that I own
And I'm glad I'm so bad at using my phone
Can't you see where I'm supposed to be
I'm so close to only needing me
I tried to impress the girl from my class
So I spent some time sitting on my ass
I wished I was over being painfully sober
But I heard some others reaching through borders
And I walked home
'Cause I needed to cool down
Yeah, I walked home
'Cause there was no more get down
And I walked home
'Cause I needed to cool down
Yeah, I walked home
'Cause there was no more get down
Or get out you motherfucker
You see the frame and where it pin points
Get drunk enough to see all their beauty
Talk enough to get their every word
But they still become their sex and duty
But they still become their sex and duty

Why should I cut it when I can jerk it?
Because that hurts me just as much
With all my friends I'm so alone
It was me who never learned it right
Unless I'm wrong and they're all wrong
Then being right is just as good
Because I just try to be one of them
Because me is never right
I'm not big but I'm awkward like a giant
I'm not small but I can never seem to reach
I'm a monster
I'm a monster
And no one ever looks like me
I don't care about this world's treasures
I just want to be able to live my life
No one wants to see who I could turn to be
Please just let me sleep through the night
I just want to write
I just want to play
I just don't want to be disturbed
By all the work that I don't want to do
I already know who I want to be
I'm not big but I'm awkward like a giant
I'm not small but I can never seem to reach
I'm a monster
I'm a monster
And no one ever looks like me
I can see over all their and still so easily look down on me
Every feat is easy
And no one will ever sing with you
But still to have sung
It stung
We swung over the top
We came back around the other side
It broke
Wrap up the chain that used to hold us
See the picture that breaks apart
It's a space for the mind to flow
Only I speak like a king
And I'm talking to us for
I'm not big but I'm awkward like a giant
I'm not small but I can never seem to reach
I'm a monster
I'm a monster
And no one ever looks like me

Her Own Sanity
06:36
|

That A-W-K-W-A-R-D
The moment you realize you don't soul
Living the life leading a lie
Trying to show everyone how much you own
I don't get what it is
Life to live
Love to give
Take it back
What you lack
Everything I don't need to have
I hide
I wait
Swallow me whole
I want to go down the brightest cave
With the brightest moon you've ever seen
I hide
I wait
Take every piece of me
I want to go down insane
Look through me Luneura
Day by day trying to play
Every game that's set up for you
Past the past gone so fast what has last
Remember every line
Hold you ghost
Hid the most
Right before the time
Lay in grease
Say your peace
Burn yourself alive
I hide
I wait
Swallow me whole
I want to go down the brightest cave
With the brightest moon you've ever seen
I hide
I wait
Take every piece of me
I want to go down insane
Look through me Luneura
I hide
I wait
Swallow me whole
I want to go down the brightest cave
With the brightest moon you've ever seen
I hide
I wait
Take every piece of me
I want to come back sane
Look at me Luneura

Love Tonight
06:08
|
|||
Filled the sound room
With everything I could
In a room of dark
Filled with light
Warped window
Spread away from me
Hidden
Where it's plain to see
No one will go
Go to sleep here
Draw them with your scent
You will never
Be disturbed
Lie down forever
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
We want snow, we want white
We want to feel love tonight
The lock up, shut down
They fear your beauty
That just lets me see
All the more I do
Give me freedom
Let me ride
Love the mountain
No need to guide
Gathering art
Are you going?
Make it across to me
Dirty wind
Cleanse me
Don't throw me out
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
We want snow, we want white
We want to feel love tonight
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
We want snow, we want white
We want to feel love tonight
We want snow, we want white
We want to feel love tonight
We want to feel love tonight
We want to feel love tonight

What Now?
03:07
|
|||
I don’t see any point in this life
What purpose do I serve?
Am I supposed to further a society that continues to disappoint what I feel to would be at least civil ethics?
How much difference would it really make if I drove myself into the depths of Hades?
In the whole worth of everything do I even add up to one cent?
I go through every motion
I go above and beyond the call
There’s work
And school
And all the things I do to entertain myself
What is my goal in all this?
Make a family and send my kin into this new world built around me?
Continually more corrupt every age seems to be
It’s become too easy to survive
Strike the line
Feed the machine
And let the people in charge take over everything for you
You don’t need to think anymore
You don’t need to do either
All you have to do is scream like a baby and wait for someone to clean up your mess
Go ahead
Latch onto the tit that bends over to pick your ass off the ground
That’s the latest trend
The time has come for the next revolution
We need an empire to fall before we can unite and stop this brutal take over of human consciousness
Please make it overwhelmingly clear as to what we are doing for each other
Right now it’s a race to the top
The king of the hill gets to kick anyone else down to the bottom
Right now is the worst time there’s ever been
Because right now is the complete loss of contemplation
There has been no other time where there’s no challenge to think

Opening

So afraid of the end
You know it has to come
Wait until when
It won't stay together
So rip it apart
Grip with pleasure
She'll come to you
All you have to do
Be warm and sweet and kind and still
Play hide and seek
They want to know
They'll never see
Keeping so hidden
But completely
Are you still smitten?
She'll come to you
All you have to do
Be warm and sweet and kind and still
Such a long quest
Without a path
It's all a test
Can't help but fuddle
Without a cause
Turn to rubble
She'll come to you
All you have to do
Be warm and sweet and kind and still

Borrowed phrases on
Borrowed pages
Can you see the light?
Social noises are
Social annoyance
Will you use the light?
A call to stay here
A call away
You won't ignore the light
A broken silence
Broken in two
You can't turn off the light
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Pack it up and
Pack it in
Could you spare the light?
Take it all back
Take again
You will find the light
Clean this up and
Clean yourself
Don't you hide the light
Paper flags and
You're paper thin
Walk right to the light
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
You lost the fight
Gave up your might
Now you hold your family tight
Your final flight
Your biggest fright
Now you get to see your plight
You reached the height
Oh what a sight
You find that you could never write
But now you're right
You see the light
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
Don't forget to say goodnight
