Hello, I'm Strange 03:21
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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

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 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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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

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

Don't Forget To Say Goodnight 04:07

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
