Welcome back, we've been waiting. We're the nightmare of that little dream you're chasing. Every fear you've ever felt, the things that never settled well, well we've kept them here for perfect preservation. I suppose you're curious of your location. Allow me to calm all speculation. You see, you've found yourself in hell, my friend and I'm Old Scratch himself. I'll be your tour guide for this occasion. Take a seat and enjoy the ride. We're going to face your fears with kaleidoscope eyes. Sure you can run, but there's no place to hide and the faster you go oh the faster you'll fry. Oh my good God, oh the humanity. End of the line and the start of calamity. Wave hi to your demons and bye to your sanity. Exit your mind and embrace the reality. Over here we've got all your friends and family. The traits they hate about your personality. To them you're just a chore and when you're not their rather bored. You see they get their entertainment from your agony. Why don't we take a look at your insecurities. Mistakes you must have made before maturity. The things you cannot change and so those memories remain. Exaggerations of all your impurities. Well you did what you wanted, made your own rules. Do as thou whilst and thou whilst be a fool. You're happy in hell, the world was so cruel. You can handle the heat, you're just so cool. Oh just give up, you ain't good enough. You're a son of God, but the one he don't love. You can sell me your soul, but you ain't getting much and I'll make the transaction in God we trust. And they all go... It's the end of your life. You fucked it all up I hope you had a good time. Oh and God's just laughing. Oh the jokes on you. Ya know he doesn't give a damn about the things that we do. So oh ho ho you're a scandalous man. Keep it up, I'm your number one fan. You're free to go but just promise you'll be bad. I'll keep your seat warm because I know you're coming back.

Man finds God and he probably kills it The hole goes away once you finally fill it. 6 feet deep is a whole lotta dirt Good grass grows but it takes some work So diagnose me with another excuse I'll find a new substance for me to abuse Try to unwind and some screws came loose I'm a real fixer upper, but what's my use Coming of age and I'm coming undone. Taking all bets how the west was won Whole lotta men with their smoking guns You can walk away but you're on the run Damned if you do, damned if ya don't Give the best of myself to the worst of folks Breath of fresh air gonna make ya choke Frogs gotta leap before he croaks Larger than life never seemed so big Magic is tragic if you see how it's rigged Time flies by but it don't heal quick The scars make it hard if you wanna forget (Chorus): Its new to me but an old cliche, been done before but in a different way. Road less traveled still gets paved. We're all unique but we're all the same to me Middle men make the most is seems With a lot less work and a lot more ease Rat gets trapped when he looks for cheese But the cat gets treats at the masters feet Lose the leash let the thoughts run wild A defiant lion to a newborn child Create destroy become beguile You gotta be the camel every once and awhile All the grown men gotta talk their shit Bout the glory days and the things they did They tell tall tales they're just tiny little men. You're never good enough, you're not as tough as them So kill your heros, but don't damn the dead Learn a little lesson from the lives they led Worlds on your shoulders it goes to your head The body of christ turns to real bad bread Played too much and put my life on pause Now I'ma take charge but I ain't the boss Forward forward on we march! Because progress made is some baggage lost Chorus

All them little worker bees make honey for the queen My wings grow tired building someone else's dream Inside that hive we're all just buzzing to survive At least I was a part of something while I was alive I'll try to pollinate and hope that something grows Spawn a life that's beautiful, that's all I have to show I wouldn't swat at me I'm itching just to sting Ain't afraid of consequences self destruction brings Alone inside my honeycomb is where I tend to be It's hard to leave a house like this when the floor sticks to your feet Feel the bonds of brotherhood when the swarm needs to attack But other than that this yellow and black just minds his own beeswax All the bees they ain't gonna never give me a chance A stumbling mumbling bumble bee, I never learned to dance So when I die I ain't gonna leave nobody any honey to share You can bet your ass I'm coming back as a big black honey bear

Make sure to smile real soon Ask questions and act confused Look at them right in the eye And hope that they don't realize It's my fault that we still don't talk Running out of things to say It's your fault that we fell off Until you change it's gonna stay the same (Chorus): I swear I'm listening but my mind's running circles round my head Life's so interesting so why'd I think I'm better off as dead What's the point of this? Why am I getting out of bed? I'm not giving up, but til then I'm just playing pretend You've never seen such a crowd My thoughts are still way too loud Your presence so comforting But eventually everybody leaves I can't say that I've ever felt right You swore it was just a phase A future so bold and bright I'm terrified of every plan I've ever made Chorus Make sure to smile real soon You've got nothing left to lose It's ok to close your eyes

Stop me if you've heard this one but I hate your fucking guts I offered you a shoulder you just used it as a crutch I think too much in metaphors I'm always talking way too much You can slap me in the face my love I could use a woman's touch You can't control me now so fuck those ultimatums The only time I'd break a rule is right before you'd make one The list just grew, add something new, we both know it don't apply to you You're the queen yeah you're immune. You gotta stab me with that point of view (Chorus): You cried wolf I sharpened my teeth. You cried it again and it scared off your sheep. You cried and you cried til the wolf ran away but you cried even more because you wanted to stay One little pig in a god damn mansion, only comes out if I start romancing I ran out of ways to make you feel flattered, still need me but I don't really matter I'm the flavor of the day, then throw me in the freezer Broke my fuckin heart now I don't have the heart to leave ya I'm a safety net cause I'm your best bet, wanna cut me. You're not ready yet You'd dive right in but you've gotta check just how damn deep that big blue gets Chorus Well I suppose you played your cards right and you've almost won the game Your were calm cool and collected oh you kept those nerves contained My counsel cackled carelessly cause I can't control the course Cornered covered in camouflage, I count down to my day in court But the jury just hest don't judge him yet. We can keep this freak show goin Now emit your endless arrogance I'll apologize for emotion. You fool you fiend you fuckin fraud it was too good to be true So stubborn I spilled my selfish sins so I can still relate to you Well it sucks to suck she said and sighed and she slipped outside my cell Indifference doth drummed up the devil you've brought about my hell I'll push and pull impatiently paranoia does pack a punch Here we go the hero's told though he hangs on just a hunch Good grief Charlie Brown you clown, you've gone and goofed this time There's a lot you missed in the scenes you've skipped and you really can't rewind I'm a rotten man I'm a wicked soul, you wanted gold all I had was coal You burned its worth you've got some nerve sit back get fat off your just deserts But I'm fed up this bird is stuffed, flipped you cause I've had enough Hit the road heartbreak or bust, all's fair in war but all's fucked in love

You say there ain't no point in leavin I could name off one million reasons You claim you need somethin to believe in Because the nihilistic shit I've been spittin just ain't what you're thinkin (Chorus): Well it might be hard I swear I gotta try Creature comforts got me riding that high Although I might have my doubts I'll learn to live without Well Comed is shutting off my power today And Nicor just wants to take my warmth away All the food in my cupboards been running so low I break all my God damn phones when I'm dancing at my punk rock shows Chorus Well the lord knows I ain't got no cash And I can't stop smoking that devil's grass All the liquor I've been drinking gonna spoil my liver Lovely little lady Lucy oh girl you know that I'm gonna miss ya Chorus

Sense of purpose, you've gotta earn it But not before you pay the rent Stuck in your mind that you're running out of time Forget how it gets spent You grow so tired, you grow so tired Until you don't grow at all But you're required for those things they desire They'll cheer you on as they watch you fall (Chorus): So take care Mr. Caretaker you know the whole world needs you now And self love is just way too tough oh you better find that love somehow Collect those IOU's the one's you never use, cause you refuse to ask for help Give the best advice, you could save a life, but you could never save yourself Spread so thin, lungs pulled in Don't bother holding your breath Pulled in all directions, counting every blessing Until there aren't any left What's the harm you know you made it this far You're bound to catch a break real soon Body gets weak on a losing streak But hey man what else is new Chorus

So I'll sing my heart out, I'm too far gone now Nobody's gonna dave me and I'd rather die alone But if I'm still breathing and my heart's beating Life's so fleeting but I've got a ways to go My heart's on fire, douse myself in gasoline If I have to sever every single tie well I'll make sure every cut is clean Oh my God I can't believe it, not every single thing has to happen for a reason And oh my God I swear I'm leaving, I won't waste my time trying to make some meaning here So I'll sing my heart out, I'm too far gone now Nobody's gonna dave me and I'd rather die alone But if I'm still breathing and my heart's beating Life's so fleeting but I've got a ways to go
