Weird Age

(Well you really thought I cared that much, you really thought I cared that much you must be out your mind, aren't ya?) x6
Well I'm saving all the pennies
Saving all the pennies
For all the times
I gave a damn
I keep placing losing bets
Placing losing bets
On a
Winning hand
Isnt it funny all the money
Youll spend on nothing
With a note to self
Saying wait for the second coming
Save up ll the pennies
Save up all the pennies
Til you give a damn
Keep placing losing bets
Keep placing losing bets
On a winning hand
Cause
It's such a weird age
Such a strange time
To be alive
It's such a weird age
Such a strange time
To be alive
Well you really thought I cared that much
You must be out your mind, arent ya?
Time is hard
Currency to make
And that debt
Will never be repaid
So in this day and age
In this economy
You're trying to get me
To invest?
{Well theres a prophet in the scrapyard
right down the street
He's got his bullshit lined up
All nice and neat
He'll sell you what you want
He'll sell me what I want for dirt cheap}x2
Cause it's such a
Weird age
Such a strange time to be alive

Heirs

You're the words
Your father spoke
The things your mother
Hoped for
{You've been beating your head
Against the wall
And it's just
Not enough}x2
So when the blood
Is thicker than water
It's time to drown
The Father
Just another heir to the throne
Long live the king
Just another heir to the throne
Long live the king
I've been beating my head
Against the wall
And it's just
Not enough
I've been cutting these hands open
Just to spill some blood
It's what my sister
Hangs on for
The secret on
My fathers tongue
When the blood is thinner
Than water
It's time
To drown the Father
I've been beating my head
Against the wall
And it's just
Not enough
Are we only kings and queens
Or can we
Out last
The Dynasty
or am I
Just the heir to the throne
Long live the king
Just another heir to the throne
Long live the king
Just another heir to the throne
Long live the king
Are we only
Kings and Queens
Or can we
Out Last
The dynasty

Temples

Can you
Feel the heat?
Can you
Feel the pressure
Things just
Aren't what they used to be
The world that I knew
Changed so fast
That I can't help but feel
That this wont last
But I cant believe the lies they tell me
Cant believe the lies they tell me
Things just aren't
What they used to be
I can feel the pressure
I can feel the heat
Things just aren't
What they used to be
And it wont stop
Until they tear every last temple down
No it wont stop until they tear every last temple down
Eye for an eye
Tooth for tooth
I can't believe the lies they tell you
Cant believe the lies they tell you
Penny for my thoughts
Word of advice
Is any of this
Worth a fucking dime?
Penny for your thoughts
Word of advice
Is any of this
Worth a fucking dime?
I can't help but feel
That none of this feels real
But it's the same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Brick by brick
Dust to dust
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Brick by brick
Dust to dust
All that we make
Is made to rust
Brick by brick
Dust to dust
Thy kingdom come
it will be done
Brick by brick
Dust to dust
Why can't we see
That this is dangerous?
And it wont stop
Until we tear every last temple down
No it wont stop,
Until they tear every last temple down
No I can't stop,
Until I tear every last temple down

Ritual Knife

I'm so psyched out
I'm so worked up
So upset
So obsessed over nothing
I'm psyched out
I'm not like this
Why can't I keep my cool?
But I can't sunflower
And I'm not surprised
If I were you
I'd be scared to die
But no one is judging
As far as I can see
But you don't know you
Like you know me
Oh
I just need something to do today
Before I cut myself open with a ritual knife
I just need something to do today
I just need something to do
I'm so hung up
so strung out
Why cant I
Just keep my cool?
You're so worked up
You're so sung out
So upset
So obsessed over nothing
You've got a sadness inside you
That makes it so easy
To take advantage
When you're not looking
and the top of the cemetery hill
is such a nice spot
Someday somebody will come here
And you'll be in one of those boxes
Cause I just need something to do today
I just need something to do
I just need something to do today
Before I cut myself open with a ritual knife

Gold Mine

This place is a gold mine
Wait til you see it
This place is a gold mine
Wait til you see it
This place used to glisten
I wish you could've seen it
I wish you could've seen it
Every nook and crevice
Every crack and cranny
You should have seen it
Now it feels like retrograde
Since its golden age
I should have seen this
Now it feels like retrograde
Since the iron age
We should have seen it
Now it feels like retrograde
Since the golden age
Why can't we see it
Why can't we see it
Now only time will tell
What happens
What happens
What happens
When you bleed the well
This place is a gold mine
Wait til they see it
This place is a gold mine
This place is a gold mine
This place is a gold mine
Wait til you see it
This place is a gold mine
it's a gold mine
It's a gold mine
We're gonna get
What we deserve
There's little left
There's little left
That we can preserve
They say it's what we get
It's what we deserve
It's all fading away
It's all fading away
And I'm losing my last nerve
They're here and they want whats mine
And they'll take it
And pay no mind
Now only time will tell
What happens
How long we can
How long can we
Bleed the well
This place is a gold mine
Wait til you see it
This place is a gold mine
This place is a gold mine
This place is a gold mine
Wait til you see it
This place is a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
Until they found it
This place is a gold mine
This place is a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
Until they found it
This place was a gold mine
Until I found it
This place was a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
Until we found it
Was a gold mine
It used to shine
This place was a gold mine
Until I found it
This place was a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
Until they found it
This place was a gold mine
This place was a gold mine
It used to shine

All Seeing Eye
03:06

Where was it then?
Why weren't you paying attention?
I guess we, were both to young to see
The damage that's been done, the damage that's been done
And now it's too late
Now it's too late
Where were you then?
Lost in your own head
During an age, of misinformation
But we were just kids, we were just kids
And now it's too late
Now it's too late
Cause there is nothing you can hide
From an all seeing eye
Try as we might
We can't turn off the limelight now
Do you see it at all
Can you see what's been done
Or have you just gone blind
By the things that made you numb
Cause it's happening again
Why weren't you paying attention?
She was just a kid
Why weren't you just, paying attention?
Now it's too late
The damage has been done
Godamnit she was so young
And it's happening again
Why werent you paying attention?
Why cant you just pay attention?
Now it's too late
Now it's too late
All that you hide
Can be seen with an all seeing eye
Try as you might
We can't turn off the limelight now
Cause now it's too late
Now it's too late
Now it's too late
Now it's too late

Amnesiac

Did I read that right?
Will I know when it hits?
I feel this is the end of it all
But it's just to early to make that call
I lost myself
When it slipped my mind
What's come over me?
What's come over me?
It feels out of focus
I feel out of touch
I don't feel this blood that bleeds will ever be enough
Did it slip your mind?
Or did you just lose your self?
What's come over you?
What's come over you?
Chorus:
I feel like you lost it
You missed the point
Missed the point
Missed the point
Missed the point
Verse
What happened to you?
You were so caught up
All that's left is tooth and nail
What happened to you?
We were so caught up
All that's left is tooth and nail
What do you tell yourself
That just slips your mind
I just can't tell
I just can't tell
Yeah you're catching visions, and feeling the fever
And you feel out of touch cause you cut yourself for something cheaper
You missed the mark
You missed the mark
You missed the mark
You missed the mark
Did you just miss the mark
Or did it just slip your mind
What's come over you
What's come over you
And did you just lose the mark
Or did it just slip your mind
What's come over me
What's come over me
Chorus

Scarab
03:18

I've been so scared to die
So scared to lose you
So afraid to die
So afraid of the tide
And it's only a matter of time
Before the other shoe drops
Will I get another shot
Or does it just end in a box
Will I be born again?
Will I be back soon?
Will I know, when I see you?
Can I come back for you
Why can't I come back for you?
Can I come back for you?
When I am born again,
Born again
Born again
Will I see clearly?
Then I can't sweat the small stuff
I'll be back soon
Keep laying the foreground
That you can come back to
I've beens o scared to die
And it's only a matter of time
Oh it's always a matter of time
So just go ahead, go ahead, go ahead try
Not to sweat the small stuff
There's too much to do, much to do
Much to do
No you can't sweat the small stuff
You'll be back soon
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let it roll off you
We scarabs
We'll get another chance
We get another shot
It doesn't just end in a box
It can't just end in a box
Born again
Born again
Born again
You will see clearly
You will be born again
Born again
Born again
you will see clearly
You will be born again
Born again
Born again
You will see clearly
I will be born again
Born again
Born again
I will see clearly
You will be born again
Born again
Born again
You will see clearly
When I was born again
Born again
Born again
I could see clearly.
