No Antidote 04:03
I met a woman of great elegance she's got a heart that quite venomous high heels, black dress with the porcelain skin crimson lips and gripping grin I am hypnotized by you, angel eyes speaking words of pure trouble to feed the beast beneath the rubble of rituals in your profession built from charm and indiscretion sorrow wants my bones wrapped in velvet and gold ain't got no antidote drank the poison, now i'm just a ghost leave my body down by the riverside to travel the world when the water's high intricate images, simply limitless her nails scrape the side of my neck shooting bullet in the dark straight for my heart better hit the deck wired out of my brain no sleep for the devil can't even settle down, my bones tremble now fighting to level out oh-oh it's something special the sound of her voice echoes (echoes) off the walls (off the walls) ain't got no antidote drank the poison, now i'm just a ghost leave my body down by the riverside to travel the world when the water's high

there's no sense of time down by the cherry tree just numbers and fascinations swaying in the subtle breeze the roots are twisting beneath my feet (beneath my feet) casting shadows on us like a movie screen (yeah) what a beautiful routine and it's still lonely day and night (day and night) my feelings are blue and the world's black and white oh won't you meet me down by the cherry tree where the legends live and the air is sweet and we can cruise all night we ain't gotta hide but if you riding with me you gotta stay by my side and drop, drop, drop your mask and knife and the blank pages that keep killing us in this fight it's getting old, it's getting I just want to be free so free sitting by the cherry tree no thrill possesses me anymore and i miss the charm, i miss her love, i miss the high that keeps me floating above my thoughts oh what time oh what a shot They say a cherry tree symbolizes the beauty of life Look in my eyes, you can tell that  I'm through with this life Sometimes I wonder what to do with this knife I'd ask for help, but i ain't into human advice Wanna be with you every night. (every night,every day) And when you're outta my sight,... I cant be okay  Cause I'm crazy, I'm psycho. I'm aiming a rifle at mother-fuckers that demands me to pray I miss the times, when I could  live and let live But now my best memory, was a cigarette All of my enemies fall down like your leaves do,  This is were I find peace, I would never leave you I'm a rarity, even therapy won' give me clarity, or sanity, Dannys transparent. Don't nobody care for me So when I'm on my death bed, very  little air to breathe Bury me, carefully, Down by the cherry tree oh won't you meet me down by the cherry tree where the legends live and the air is sweet and we can cruise all night we ain't gotta hide but if you riding with me you gotta stay by my side and drop, drop, drop your mask and knife and the blank pages that keep killing us in this fight it's getting old, it's getting I just want to be free so free sitting by the cherry tree

Build Me Up 03:52
I, left my hear out on the east coast and the water swallowed it buried deep beneath the weight of my own tribulation leaves me asking, "who the hell am I facing?" when I go searching for clarity with a loaded gun to my back rattles my bones from head to toe even an old soul is weak oh these street lights in the whites of my destitute eyes harrowed by the must to evince our demise build me up, beyond surrender different drug, but the same lover I'm fucking good at what I do but I'm not the best and I acknowledge that Gon' keep writing when I'm on my death bed Gon' keep learning well after I'm dead and I might haunt your kitchen cabinets in the middle of the night and cook a couple strips of bacon and a few egg whites the sound of my voice could charm any girl I like I don't need any more burdens I've got enough in this fight oh these street lights in the whites of my destitute eyes harrowed by the must to evince our demise build me up, beyond surrender different drug, but the same lover but the same lover build me up but the same lover

Silhouettes 03:20
I've seen all the scars on your skin and all the lies you're buried in (buried in) now I'm standing on your doorstep looking through the window frame all I see are figures looking back at me Silhouettes examine us we're just trying to, we're just trying to adjust oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh winter comes around, please don't take my heart I need the warmth of something I need the warmth of love illusions take hold of me like storms consuming trees Silhouettes examine us we're just trying to, we're just trying to adjust oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Silhouettes examine us we're just trying to, we're just trying to adjust oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

theories inhabit the cryptic mind suffocating the fluctuating undefined they're impetuous tyrants of compelling concepts from numerous encounter and contexts it's oh so sweet I can't compete pack your bags cause we're going to the murder city the stakes are high and the girls are pretty put a bullet through the heart put a bullet through the brain either way contemplation won't change and we're driving on the interstate with the windows down, yelling at the people in the crowd like "how the hell did you figure out who to be?' cause I'm still living, tripping over my feet I would play your vocal chords like a violin (like a violin) just to record the rich melody of your mysteries within you better watch out, better watch your back cause Imma creep up on you, you're under attack I said you're under attack pack your bags cause we're going to the murder city the stakes are high and the girls are pretty put a bullet through the heart put a bullet through the brain either way contemplation won't change and we're driving on the interstate with the windows down, yelling at the people in the crowd like "how the hell did you figure out who to be?' cause I'm still living, tripping over my feet

swallow your pretensions of sovereignty endless attention is all we eat dark shades and a white tie brown boots and a steady high sun in the sky, '98 wagon on the interstate headed for the night optimism is the business I love but the devil is the manager and he's conquering my beliefs one by one no need to suffer, no need to run cause I'm drunk on summer yeah we're drunk on summer oh my god drunk on summer

Iron Shields 02:43
I've seen the skies in the East coast as the moon drags the sun down we were wrapped in layers of gold out hearts are young but our souls were old we're dancing like iron shields out in the open on the battlefield we're dancing like iron shields out in the open on the battlefield we spun around the world 'till our brains were fractals now we're facing situations that we simply just can't tackle bare my bones in the freezing cold and rip my heart like it's a piece of gold we're dancing like iron shields out in the open on the battlefield we're dancing like iron shields out in the open on the battlefield I've seen the skies in the East coast as the moon drags the sun down we were wrapped in layers of gold out hearts are young but our souls were old we're dancing like iron shields out in the open on
10.
where do I go when the phone rings? cause there's no answer in the house I'm just walking these hallways hoping to be found trying to stay sane like a surgeon with a nervous hand stitching up the wounds of a deadly business man the adrenaline is genuine chills of ecstasy and haunting melodies I'm in your veins like heroin you're the goosebumps on my skin oh we're lost at 3 in the morning I'm in your veins like heroin you're the goosebumps on my skin oh we're lost at 3 in the morning footsteps like raindrops falling on a roof erratic words echo and avid hearts consume the speculations of illustrations on trepidations painted in our brains for emulations of devastation I'm drinking poison straight from the bottle my vision blurs as I reach for bottom I hit the floor and I'm forgotten but I wake in my bed like it's not uncommon I'm in your veins like heroin you're the goosebumps on my skin oh we're lost at 3 in the morning I'm in your veins like heroin you're the goosebumps on my skin oh we're lost at 3 in the morning I'm having lucid dreams not the same kind as Martin Luther King the kind that keep confusing me my friend shot me with an uzi then threw me out of a moving jeep then went to my funeral, read my eulogy I looked at satan and said "it's just you and me" I do these things while I'm getting my beauty sleep, man who would think? that's how my mind works everywhere I look I see fireworks I try to fly it works I get so high up in the sky you can't tell me nothing if I fall, hell is coming I guarantee it better believe it, if I dream it, it happens in real life IRL, abbreviated even if we're inebriated I think we made it

oh, fingers down my spine like needles so ravishing, but plenty lethal just addicts looking for an excuse can't get enough of that winter time blues bite my neck, watch the hairs stand tall goosebumps rise and fall no one can ever break through the haze of the winter blues it's that winter time blues and you know it's true it's that winter time blues it's coming for you the bitter cold holds my heart with all of it's strength I don't know how, how the hell I'm gonna play this game oh I think I'm going insane it's that winter time blues and you know it's true it's that winter time blues it's coming for you
