When shadows are getting high And the blue fades from the sky Is the time when forest children Light their fires Their smiles light the flames For consumption to make way For the innocence they carry In their laughter Ha ha ha...

Today just about all my mind was gone I’ve been clutching my chest, I’ve been grasping at straws From a scarecrow, but now I find the patch my home Birds along my ragged arms I’m friends with the crows Today, just about everything went wrong I always keep it moving but today I stopped Behind my eyelids, monsters chasing strong And in the morning I wake up to find my face on the lawn My friends look after me when I’m down I’m dead tired of lugging my body cross the ground Would I laugh with no one around? yeah they give me a break, give me a break Yeah they leave and I break, leave and I break They bring me up When Stoneheart drags me down And though it’s pay to win Someday we’ll own this town They bring me up Alone my minds so loud And though it’s pay to win Someday we will own this town The moon hangs low in starlet scenes Curtains frame a landscape in scarlet reams I step off the wood post from where I’ve seen Snowstorms strong enough to blow down trees Don’t give us a name Don’t tell us the game Don’t tell us the way We don’t wanna play I think this is the last time you’ll see us in a cage Well take you in no collar no chain Look us in the eye we weren’t born that way They bring me up When Stoneheart drags me down And though it’s pay to win Someday we’ll own this town They bring me up Alone my minds so loud And though it’s pay to win Someday we will own this town They bring me up When Stoneheart drags me down And though it’s pay to win Someday we’ll own this town They bring me up Alone my minds so loud And though it’s pay to win Someday we will own this town My friends look after me when I’m down...

Star Cereal 03:17
I grew up with my mouth full Spoonfed star cereal Eyes like open windows The world would end while we watched it fall And still the money makers With all their lies and fakers Manage to take advantage Idols silent while we meet our makers The world would end while we watched it fall The world would watch while we end it all My next best guess is that they’re lesser than they seem to be Those Moneymakers make more money when they’re killing trees But if they keep it up, they’ll end up just like us Six feet under with no stars and me for company I grew up with my mouth full Spoonfed star cereal But now I’m feeling doubtful My vision’s low while the walls stand tall Now time is running out It makes me run my mouth And all the cereal comes spilling down The world would end while we watched it fall The world would watch while we end it all My next best guess is that they’re lesser than they seem to be Those Moneymakers make more money when they’re killing trees But if they keep it up, they’ll end up just like us Six feet under with no stars and me for company Those Moneymakers make more money when they’re killing me Those Moneymakers make more money when they’re killing me Those Moneymakers make more money when they’re killing me Those Moneymakers make more money when they’re killing me

Imagine all the times you could have had A better reverence For little miss death What friendly afternoons we could’ve had Among the borogroves We would have set tea on the stove And what a life you could have lived If you’d forgiven that part of yourself You sought no wisdom I’ve give So take your time, I’ll be there on a dime I’m always there for you, you know it’s true Why? Would you go when you know, just what’s down below Imagine all the times you could have been A better friend To one you’ve never met Is it coincidence you ended up here Or was it just fear That drove you to flee And what a life you could have lived If you’d forgiven that part of yourself You sought no wisdom I’ve give So take your time, I’ll be there on a dime I’m always there for you, you know it’s true Why? Would you go when you know, just what’s down below

Why all the disrespect? I think it’s getting to my head These words are loaded lead I think it’s getting to my head You said my youth makes me defective But I must be deaf Use me for target practice These scars are bulletproof at best You said there would be consequences What did you expect? You taught me lessons convoluted Now they’re on your head Why all the disrespect? I think it’s getting to my head These words are loaded lead I think it’s getting to my head Why all the disrespect? I think it’s getting to my head These words are loaded lead I think it’s getting to my head You said boy lose the self importance You’re the bigger man I learned my disassociation Was this your big plan? You made me feel like a letdown I tried so hard to fix that frown Now there’s no need for another round You lost when you held me down You made me feel like a madman Goddamn maybe that’s what I am You pressed and pressed till I unwound Goddamn you raised a hound Why all the disrespect? I think it’s getting to my head These words are loaded lead I think it’s getting to my head Why all the disrespect? I think it’s getting to my head These words are loaded lead I think it’s getting to my head

Apocalypse 03:01
I can’t lie there are times when I have turned away If I keep that shit up, throw me out and let me rot away I won’t try, pretend everything will be okay You’re vanilla extract, seem so sweet but mind the bitter taste I don’t wanna treat ya like I’m gonna have to leave ya but When I feed ya to the birds do you think they’ll agree I need ya Things are gettin pretty grim pretty quick If I didn’t know better then Id think it’s the apocalypse When fire comes creepin up you tell us that you care I know that since you’re rooted deep you can’t go anywhere So stay awhile show off that smile you’ve plastered to our screens You’re lying through your teeth You’re lying through your teeth, oh What’s the weather like today? I’d say slightly cloudy, with a chance of post imperial pain Made a run to dream job store Got stopped and asked what for I say that there a price to pay, that’s twice today that you’ve made me feel this way I don’t wanna treat ya like I’m gonna have to leave ya but When I feed ya to the birds do you think they’ll agree I need ya Things are gettin pretty grim pretty quick If I didn’t know better then Id think it’s the apocalypse When fire comes creepin up you tell us that you care I know that since you’re rooted deep you can’t go anywhere So stay awhile show off that smile you’ve plastered to our screens You’re lying through your teeth You’re lying through your teeth, oh Oh, no You’re always wanting more Oh, come on One, two, three, four When fire comes creepin up you tell us that you care I know that since you’re rooted deep you can’t go anywhere So stay awhile show off that smile you’ve plastered to our screens You’re lying through your teeth You’re lying through your teeth, oh

stiltwalker, noones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over Cancha take a chance for your own life? You’re stabbing at stone with a butter knife If you don’t stop now, then you’re too late Try and take a better look next time Cancha feel how as the skies close? The frost bites the blue skin on your nose And the closer you see him the farther he feels He’s covered in gold but is anything real? Sweetheart you’re a riot They tell me you’re a riot I know you’d steal my breath But is it worth my death? Sweetheart you’re a riot Oh yeah you’re a riot Sweetheart you’re a riot Pipe down before I start a riot I’ve been told I’m falling farther from my past self I’ve been told this line of work doesn’t lead to wealth But I’ll tell you now I do this for my own health Giving up is pouring out my water in a dry spell stiltwalker, someones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over stiltwalker, someones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over Cancha tell how as the sun sets The hot red air closes on your neck? And the bottled up fear starts to crack up You’re reaching for your radio back up Cancha hear now as the hounds chase? You’re long out of time to save face You better not rest cause you’re not safe Run til you hear your heart race (don’t stop running) Sweetheart you’re a riot They tell me you’re a riot I know you’d steal my breath But is it worth my death? Sweetheart you’re a riot Oh yeah you’re a riot Sweetheart you’re a riot Pipe down before I start a riot stiltwalker, someones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over stiltwalker, someones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over stiltwalker, someones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over stiltwalker, someones gonna stop ya Taking big strides talking big talk, poser stiltwalker, cool casa nova Just keep walking till the wind knocks you over
