Walking Legs

Hope I’ve found our home
With walking legs and dead ends
The cemetery must be broke
Cause I can't find our bones
Pumwa pumzi yako ya mwisho
Ploy played your trick
The dogs could see what I can't sense
Delusion on distraction
And a knack for feeling haunted
The spirit that consumes you
It’s like it's all around you
Realer than the nightmare was the
Third voice
It greets me in my dreams
And haunts me after I’m awake
Pumwa pumzi yako ya mwisho
Tumeona Kifo ya mwisho
Laughishly minds turn to madness
Caught you in this dark colossus

Help I need Jesus and a bedtime story
Help I found guidance in a look-alike drummer boy
Help I found answers in a wayward glory
Help guide my hands and a third voice spoke to me
Stranger we saw your life flash
Before your eyes before your eyes
Best compose these lessons in
A letter to the reaper coming
All hell breaks loose
You dont look like you and your favorite things have changed
And I wish I could remember everything
All hell breaks loose
You don’t look like you and your favorite things have changed
And I wish I could rewind and change some things
I’ll still keep my faith but you won't look the same
And I wish I could remember everything
Help I need Jesus and a bedtime story
Help I found guidance in a wayward glory
Stranger we saw your life flash
Before your eyes before your eyes
Best compose these lessons in
A letter to the reaper coming
You don’t look like you and your favorite things have changed
And I wish I could rewind and change some things
I’ll still keep my faith but you won’t look the same
And I wish I could remember everything
Now you’re talking tongue in a cemetery
Just trying to remember what they took from your memory
Third voice speaks says “Don’t move don’t move”
Guide my hands and help me see you
Muscle to the brain
Muscle to the brain
Muscle to the brain
Muscle to the brain
Muscle to the brain
Heart it eats slowly
Muscle to the brain
Heart it eats slowly
Muscle to the brain
Heart it eats slowly
Muscle to the brain
Heart it eats slowly

Broke your bones and
For the lack of better words
You’ve been through this I know it hurts
A surgery should take its course
To heal you and your worries
Broke yours bones and
We’ll fill them up with Cortisone
And hope that they can hold their own
Lobotomy well maybe so
The night is only starting
Broke your bones just to find your way home
Broke my heart for the better for the worse one
Well I hope I make the ghost party
And if I was late I’m so sorry
And should I stay till midnight
Well I’ll be leaving shortly
Envision something stronger than resurrecting martyrs
This science will take us farther if you manifest the monster
This isn’t right there’s something wrong
They’re showing signs of holding on
If this keeps on we’ll all be gone
Regret upon a wonder
Broke your bones and
A mastiff in disguise along with yellow sneering eyes
I know this hate it kills the teacher face of rage amongst creator
And you broke my bones just to find your way home
Broke my heart for the better for the worst one
Broke your bones and
Isn’t it a shame to reconcile your faith it broke my heart
Isn’t it a shame to reconcile your faith it broke my heart
It broke my heart
Isn’t it a shame to reconcile your faith it-
You cannot hide from your own truth mwahahaha
You’re not anything at all
You’re not anything at all
You’re not anything at all
You’re not anything at all
You’re not anything at all
You’re cordially invited to a ghost party
Where sorrow eats the insides out we hope you stay till morning
You’ve woken right up and you’re feeling confused
By the nightmare you thought that would never come true
Oh my god is that me in the mirror that I see
Or the passing of time at this ghostly party
And should I stay till morning
Oh I swear to god I was mourning
And strangers I saw your lives
And I know you saw the very worst of mine

Dont Move

Beetlebee, you know the muscle eats the brain sometimes
Tried to replicate a photo are you satisfied
Is it knowing that makes you mine
Or that knowing that we were running out of time, well
Hold that pose you're looking like a fatal frame
Paid a penny out of way to make a picture last in time, and
Took a Polaroid just to make you stay the same
Dont move dont move
Who are you to say
That time dont move any other other way
And who are you to look the other way
When time dont move any other other way
Beetlebee, you swing the bat and swing away
Dont move dont move
Swing the bat a swing away like a picture in a frame
At least we’ll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame
Dont you move dont you move dont you move
Dont you move dont you move dont you move
Watch the muscles that are moving you pretended I could move you too
Only you and only you
I wish I could be the photograph you left me
Only you and only you
Beetlebee, you swing the bat and swing away
Dont move dont move
Swing the bat and swing away like a picture in a frame
At least we’ll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame
All the sentimental pain of a picture of a game
At least we’ll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame
All the sentimental pain of a picture of a game
At least we’ll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame
Who are you to say
That time dont move any other other way
And who are you to look the other way
When time dont move any other other way
Who are you to say
That time dont move any other other way
And who are you to look the other way
When time dont move any other other way

O Brother
03:23

Fall downstairs you hit the floor I would help but I want more
Innocence in medicine I want to watch you watch me win
Your brother said he missed the Coast Guard him till he gets back home
Feeling up the neighbors daughter who is watching it’s her father
They’re always watching when you never want them to
It’s always someone who you can and cannot see
O they watch me while I watch them and I won’t speak before I sin
O brother take my hand you are a man
It gets harder to believe it with your red stained hands
Brother, wash your eyes in holy
Cause it’s gonna get scary
And eyes could never live without the sins they’ve seen
And then [then] they dug a hole for me and they buried me
And then [then] they [they] lifted me and they followed me
And then they looked to me which way are you looking cause the floor don’t hit the ceiling
And then they saw right through me and I said I see right through you
And then they believed in me but I can’t stop the plane from crashing
Well go on and marry me kneeling on ground zero thinking I could be your hero
I don’t believe I don’t believe
O brother what was that saying
Must be faith based on this feeling
O brother can you see what I see
Cause I can feel strangers pass right through me
O brother are you listening to me
Cause I don’t remember these memories
Brother take my hand you are a man
It gets harder to believe it with your red stained hands
Brother wash your eyes in holy
Cause it’s gonna get scary
And eyes could never live without the sins they’ve seen
Your brother’s fallen but help is on the way
Yeah your brother’s fallen but help is on the way

And then they knew
I woulda took a bullet for you for you
And then they saw
Me coming running after your call your call
And then they heard
I got some kind of hold on you on you
And then they fell
Right into all the stories I tell I tell

Submission

Run run run to a strange submission
The show isn’t over it’s the intermission
Hand to hand they applaud you on your vision
I take my bow give all of my allegiance
Hope who are you
Hope help miss soon
Tides too high for a submission
And I can’t swim under submersion
The tides too high for submission
There isn’t no baptism like this one
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Take this cadence as a form of my apology
With every one step you were always in my memory
If my arms had any muscles then I wouldn’t feel this empty
Now you watch my audition as I try to make your party
Hope how do I know you
Hope I’ve seen you
Tides too high for a submission
And I can't swim under sumbersion
The tides too high for a submission
There isn’t no baptism like this one
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you
Dogs don’t speak no words I heard you
Then there came the third and I heard you

Hope is lonely
So I’ll weed all of my thoughts
And plant all my tragic tragedies
If it could ever take us home again
Could it ever make us home again
There’s a rumor in town it’s horrific they say
There’s a three headed witch that makes humans her prey
Who’s gonna be the one oh no no
Who’s gonna be the one oh not me
Don’t matter what you do don’t matter what you say
She’s gonna eat your brain your heart if you don't mind
It’ll take the pain away just to eat your time
She’ll take you to the Nightshop
Who’s gonna be the one oh no no
Who’s gonna be the one oh not me
Who’s gonna be the one oh no no
Who’s gonna be the one oh not
Nightshop b-baby ooh ooh
Nightshop b-beetlebee
Nightshop b-baby ooh ooh
Nightshop b-beetlebee
N-I-G-H-T-S-H-O-P
N-I-G-H-T-S-H-O-P
We just sewed our faces
To one another
So we’d never ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Leave one another
Hope is loney
Hold your breath and back away h-honey
Save it for the dance occasion darling
Is this heaven or a real good dream
I’ll meet you at the Nightshop baby
Where we’ll go to town
In your big old nasty automobile
Oh yeah
First we’ll eat his neck and brain
And hide the bodies bones at the home base
I keep my boys happy with the rhythm of your heart
No never to again get swayed by a man
With faulty intentions and that's the way it's been
Yeah that's the way it's been no never to again
No never to again no never to again
No never to again no never to again
No never to again no never to again
No never to again no never to again
I’ll take you to the Nightshop
Who’s gonna be the one oh no no
Who’s gonna be the one oh not me
Who’s gonna be the one oh no no
Who’s gonna be the one oh not
Nightshop b-baby ooh ooh
Nightshop b-beetlebee
Nightshop b-baby ooh ooh
Nightshop b-beetlebee
Gimme more gimme more gimme more gimme more
I want the pieces of your heart and mind
Gimme more gimme more gimme more gimme more
I want the pieces of your soul to unwind
Gimme more gimme more gimme more gimme more
I want the pieces of your heart and mind
Gimme more gimme more gimme more gimme more
Gimme more gimme more gimme more gimme more gimme
Laughishly your lost cause lapses
Is there any hope you offer
Blindfolded we follow voices
Acolytes and the Dark Colossus
N-I-G-H-T-S-H-O-P
N-I-G-H-T-S-H-O-P
There's a rumor in town it’s horrific they say
There’s a three headed witch that makes humans her prey
Who’s gonna be the one oh no no
Who’s gonna be the one oh not me
Don’t matter what you do don’t matter what you say
I’m gonna eat your brain your heart if you don’t mind
It’ll take the pain away just to eat your time
I’ll take you to the Nightshop
Hope is lonely
So I’ll thread all of these thoughts
Into this tragic tragedy
Laughishly minds turn to madness
Caught you in this Dark Colossus
There’s no bones and body baby
There’s no surface for your footsteps

Dear, Beetlebee
You know the muscle eats the brain sometimes
Like a fish out of water in the winter time
Break the cradle break the bones break the hands that held you home
Breaks the cradle breaks the wrist breaks the hands that prayed for this one
Stranger I saw your life flash before your eyes
I’m fine
Fine with just these memories, as long as I know your living
This kingdom comes and said its done
Like a sailor sails a ship into the morning of the next one
Stranger I saw your life flash before your eyes
Does the message stand to relay
Into our mourning of the next day
We sink our ship as a river sinks in and
Good riddance to you good riddance to you
Good riddance to a stranger I knew
Stranger I saw your life flash before your eyes
Stranger you know you and I were intertwined
Stranger I saw your life flash before your eyes
Stranger you know you and I were intertwined
Who are you
I’m seasick
I’m seasick from the boat wreck
And there’s us in the dead wake
Can you throw an anchor bone cause I can barely see us home
Oh the dog watch is done cause the battleship has won
Mates I’ll see you in the trench
Now your sailing
Circles in
Sailing circles with the fish
Watch your ship sink all night
Swimming backwards with the fish
Stranger I saw your life flash before your eyes
Stranger you know you and I were intertwined
Stranger I saw your life flash before your eyes
Stranger you know you and I were intertwined
Stranger I saw your life flash in two
Is there anything you wouldn’t do

Don’t move
Don’t move
Don’t move
Don’t move
Don’t move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Don’t move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Don’t move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Don’t move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
I’ve been conditioned to bargain with death
Like the seventh seal in the game of chess
The umpire was a shadow of our sin
While the pitcher was the reaper in the game we had to win
I kept running trying to get to home base
Trying to get my friends out the dugout cage
I kept running trying to get to home base
It’s a battle with death at a baseball game
Move rock the base move rock the base
Move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Can I hold up to the standards that I made before we die
I was a singer and a swinger up for bat to save our lives
Desperation shows its face once again
Only this time there’s a fight and not a forlorn cry
I kept running trying to get to home base
Trying to get my friends past the third base
I kept running trying to get to home base
It’s a battle with death at a baseball game
Move rock the base move rock the base
Move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Move rock the base move rock the base
Move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Beetlebee, you know the heart can eat the brain sometimes
Sometimes I lose my mind
Sing the reaper cabaret we’re getting older every day
My last breath we’ve seen death
I kept running and I ran from solitude
Death is a place without you
I kept running and I ran from myself too
Death is a place without you
Beetlebee you know that fear can eat the brain sometimes
Sometimes we lose our sight
Swing the bat and bat away swing the bat and bat away
Move rock the base move rock the base
Move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Move rock the base move rock the base
Move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Don't move
Don't move
Don't move
Don't move
Don’t move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
We never moved rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Don’t move rock the base swing the bat and bat away
We never moved rock the base swing the bat and bat away
Well the muscle hit a home run, sent the heart up for bat
Could he swing with all his might and make it home at last
Would the pieces of our bones call an out and take our souls
Or would the courage of the heart hold us home
Breathe your last breath we’ve seen death
Breathe your last breath we’ve seen death
Breathe your last breath we’ve seen death
Breathe your last breath we’ve seen death
Breathe your last breath we’ve seen death
Breathe your last breath we’ve seen death
Death
