Death of Dishonor
We're burning alive in this dead sea. It's another funny tragedy.
Captain, oh, Captain where can you be? Should've guessed you were asleep. We've all been on reality tv. Next year they're closing down the factory. I'm hoping for early February, unless I get my own series.
To what do we owe this death of dishonor?
I've seen it all burn in a dream. You bet I'm ready. Man, you don't have to pack your things. This move is deadly.
There's no saving lives at the cemetery, just the faint hint of skullduggery. Captain, oh, Captain how could this be? Oh, you can't speak because you're jinxed. Violently stifle the cacophony. Silently making a mockery. My calendar's clearing for eternity, but I need a guarantee.
To what do we owe this death of dishonor?
I preached a sermon in my dreams, to all the vermin. I watched them squirm and turn away. They're not learning.
Gladly abandoning this dream. My path is chosen. The voices spoke, and I took note. Now I've awoken.

Garbage of Eden
I believe, I believe in bleeding. I pledge allegiance to this exsanguination. The drops inside of me are here in spite of me. Liquidate and drain the population. I know you lie, I saw you hiding the plate. I don't believe what you say when you've got cake on your face. How's it taste? So cross your fingers you don't make a mistake. I might be running in place, but I'm not going away.
I believe, I don't believe in anything. And I don't believe that I don't believe it.
I believe, I believe in Eden. Getting there is simple calculation. So come on eat with me beneath the apple tree. Education in illumination. You got no right incarcerating the light, and I believe that it's time to just stand up to the night... and I might. I know you fight, I've seen the look in your eye, but I don't buy what you sell because I'm ready to die.
I believe, I don't believe in anything. And I don't believe that I don't believe it.

Nightcrawler
You dropped your flashlight in the grass, and you know that there’s no turning back. You’re frozen. High on treats mixed with Rice Krispies, counting out your Mississippis. And you know that you’re part of a pact.
You don’t wanna go to sleep, Nightcrawler. You’re aware it’s just a prison ending. You don’t have to go to sleep, Nightcrawler. The world’s still spinning when you’re sleeping.
You inch along.
You watched them all drop one by one. And you know you’ll never see the sun, he’s on lunch. The grass is wet, but it’s not raining. Radio batteries draining. And you know you’re gonna be the one.
You don’t wanna go to sleep, Nightcrawler. You’re aware it’s just a prison ending. You don’t have to go to sleep, Nightcrawler. The world’s still spinning when you’re sleeping.
You inch along.

Ping
You're the ping in this stolen submarine, but there's only room for one in my head, and I'm defecting. Just know this mutiny is under scrutiny. Don't rock the boat, kid. It's a rigged election. Who's in control of these nuclear capabilities? Even better question yet, where is this ship headed? You could have fled with me instead of red pegging me. Guess what? I'm underwater on a new adventure.
I'm under the sea.
Just stop the ping.
You're the chirp that's been driving me berserk, and it's only getting worse as your batteries are draining. I'll take uncertainty over alerting me. I'll sleep like a baby while my bed is burning. Losing control of these great escape abilities. Emergency, memories need to be forgetted. You could have fun with me instead of double jumping me. Guess what? I'm undercover on a new adventure.
I'm under the sea.
Just stop the ping.

Nine Below
Oh, hello. So sorry, did I keep you waiting? Nine below. Repeating, ice station needs saving. I dunno. Tell me are the tenets even worth it? Gotta know, just what did they do to deserve this?
That's the way the mercury drops. There's a ghost on your laptop.
One word and this can all go away, but don't say it if you don't mean it.
Now’s your chance. Time to state your case and face the nation. Nine below, and your abandoned post is waiting. Take your time, because it’s already been decided. Bottom line, what's it like to be divided?
Walk away, but it never stops. There's a ghost on your laptop.
One word and this can all go away, but don't say it if you don't mean it.

Cipher
Right away, you cringed when something came across your desk. Connect the dots. This is more than missing people. I took a break, but Chief, don't think that makes me passive. I'm wide awake and dreaming. Suddenly I'm feeling active.
Write away, cause no one here can read communiqués, and they'd never be the wiser. I like it better that way. Gotta say, there's only two handfuls of you I'd save, and the rest can burn in fire. I like it better that way.
Right away, rustle up some chalk and jot this down. I left a gift. Hysterical! You didn't notice? I wanna play, but you're preoccupied with crying. This Roman numeral mural’s full of i’s I’ve been blindsiding.
Write away. You could put the cipher on display, and they'd never be the wiser. I like it better that way. Time to pay. This past due invoice has a lot to say, and the situation's dire. I like it better that way.
Write away. You could type a highlighted essay, and they'd never be the wiser. I like it better that way. Turn a phrase, and take your awful secrets to the grave. They never will transpire. I like it better that way.

Excavation
Grab your mask. It's time to brave the radiation. You can ask, but there's no simple explanation. You're on a speck of dust in space. Perhaps a peck upon the face is just precisely what it takes. It's cute you think that you're awake.
The pillow's on the other side of our faces. You won't care who you hate when we're all getting wasted. Don't listen to me, I'm just somebody's dummy. Let me know how that goes when they're finding our mummies.
Grab a bat. There's a little situation. Will the sun come back? Not in my opinionation. Someday you may appreciate there's things you can't appreciate. Who doesn't want a piece of cake? But first you've got to weigh the steaks.
You're never getting to the end of this maze, but the minotaur places in all of the races. No emotions. This is buddy to buddy. I’m not looking for pennies of any your money.
Guess what? They're rebooting the Middle Ages. Life got you a ticket. It's behind the stages. You bought a t-shirt, cause it said something funny. They poisoned the milk and then fucked up the honey.

Divided by Nothing
You're recasting your reflection. Mirror isn't pretty is it? Live in terror every hour. Die of panic any minute. You probably need to shave, but that's not quite the problem right now. You're too afraid for everybody.
Open your eyes. There's no divide. There's only things yet undefined. We are the voices in our mind, and we're guided by nothing. You play the game, we pay the price. You're only gambling with our lives. How long's it take to realize?
We're divided by nothing.
Half awake in pain and tension. Half asleep and never guessed it. Is there something we should tell them? Probably, but nah, forget it. You really ought to wait, cause there's not much that you can do now. But if you must. Go on, say it.
The hook and line will sink in time, but who gives a fuck? amirite? Just don't act wise and no one dies, like you're guided by nothing. You gotta try and feign surprise, but there's a light behind these eyes. In case you ever wonder why, we're divided by nothing.
We're divided by nothing.

Theatrical Release
You’re ice cream, so deafening. An underwater fight scene. I’ll suspend my disbelief when you stop chewing scenery. See, it’s not enough to get them talking. Cause botch or not, they’re mocking anything. You broke the fourth wall and they caught you watching. You just saw perception’s everything.
Broken characters and scene, but who are you to speak? Change the score to fit the beat. The understudy killed the lead. May be unhappy, but it’s motivation to hit my marks and knock out anything. You’re better sitting down for this ovation. It’s the gift of losing everything.
I’m running lines tonight. Never noticed the cassette was broken. Hiding under the spotlight. Nothing's left besides the path you've chosen. An empty house soliloquy. Drew the curtains and my pen was bleeding this theatrical release.
Detaching together. You’re cool, but nothing’s better. Divided forever, sighed the guy who writes these letters.
Drew the curtains and my pen was bleeding.

Egress
You lost your mind some time ago. Don't worry. No one's looking. You didn't know which way to go, so you just gave up searching. When you hate everything, but you're like, I'm still dancing. When you walked away with more questions than answers.
You're a ghost who's ready to go home. You're alone with someone who would know. How was it though?
Was it worth it?
You lost the pack awhile back, and now you feel like smoking. You doubled back and fixed some tracks. They thought that you were joking. When you hate everything, but you’re still, I got business. When you sailed away, and never sought forgiveness.
You’re a boat who’s sinking like a stone. Maybe though, you’re the undertow. Sometimes it's both.
Was it worth it?
What's done is done. You showed up late and missed the train to outer space. Hope you had fun, there's no escape. So, tell me, was it worth it?
You're a no, and everybody knows. Your abode is under the rainbow.
Now, off you go.
