I’m turning to dust Burning up I’m turning to dust Breaking down I’m turning to dust Back inside I’m turning to dust Loosing ground And I’m waiting for the changes It’s choking me up I’m draining It’s turning me to dust I’m turning to dust Sinking in I’m turning to dust Killing time I’m turning to dust Dead inside I’m turning to dust Loosing ground And I’m waiting for the changes It’s choking me up I’m draining It’s turning me to dust Swallowing a bitter pill Feel the shame You’re welcome to it Sinking in Watching I can make this go And I’m waiting for the changes And it’s choking me up Without you, is turning me to dust It’s still the same routine My forty days of desert Abandon everything I just faded away I found myself alone Though self condemned I know this My sentence, to dust

It’s the day for change I’ll begin again Time to take the poison But that’s alright cause I’m done with the blame This again, I’m ready Same routine, but only Bigger still, a monster But that’s fine, cause I’m set like a bomb I’m back here again about to descend Back in the chicane I’m shedding the doubt I’m willing it down I’m playing the game In the doll house Burning ground Pedal down Now I’m loaded and I’m ready to go Time to move Face the poison It’s the one with the cracked up smile This again, I’m ready Same routine, but only Bigger still, a monster But that’s fine, cause I’m set like a bomb I’m back here again about to descend Back in the chicane I’m shedding the doubt I’m willing it down I’m playing the game In the doll house I took it upon me Now I’m set like a bomb I’m back here again about to descend Back in the chicane I’m shedding the doubt I’m willing it down I’m playing the game In the doll house Cause I’m set like a bomb Like a bomb Yeah, I’m set like a bomb

Femme Fatale 04:32
I, I came to get away I thought I took control I know I made it to your door Now as I adjust to the light She's lying by my side Last night comes crashing into sight How She Had me wrapped around her fingers And got me ready to roll I couldn't help it Yeah, she moves so good She's really got me begging for more Oh, she's got it all She's going on What could I say Oh, her sucker dolls Her willing slaves But thats ok Check it She's the queen of the night She knows her prey man She's a viper to the vein Go How could I walk away She's everything I'll be her willing victim here again Roll, she's got the devil in her pocket I couldn't do it I know, no, no I couldn't help it Yeah, she moves so good She's really got me begging for more Oh, she's got it all She's going on What could I say Oh, her sucker dolls Her willing slaves But thats ok Check it Oh, she's got the devil in her pocket She's got me begging for more I couldn't help it Yeah, she moves so good She's really got me ready to roll Oh, she's got it all She's going on What could I say Oh, her sucker dolls Her willing slaves But thats ok I couldn't do it I know, no, no Oh, she's got it all She's going on What could I say Oh, her sucker dolls Her willing slaves But thats ok I couldn't do it I know, no, no, no

She says she’s like that alien sex fiend, without that part about the alien She shows me round her tattoos and her piercings And tells me there’s some more that I should know Confesses she’s crazy Some people find her scary That’s all I need That’s enough for me Let’s take this over to me place It’s real close, just across the street Now she’s on the bed smoking cigarettes As she sips her wine, how she looks divine As the day arrive, I’m between her thighs and she tells me That I just cant go from here and then she comes She’s on repeat, I could see she’s insatiable Cant get enough of this lovin’ so just keep it coming The second round, down. Breath is shallow. Back is hollowed out Her fingers sliding, nails are tracing lines on my back She moves her position, and whispers while twisting That’s what I need, that’s what works for me Let’s make this one in a million. The night’s young, you don’t need to leave So now she’s on the bed smoking cigarettes As she sips her wine how she looks divine As the day arrive, I’m between her thighs and she tells me That I just cant go from here And then she comes again I should go, it’s late. I just don’t wanna Oh, I know I should be leaving, but it’s hard to depart from her Because she She’s on the bed smoking cigarettes As she, she moves so fine As it gets bright outside I’m between her thighs And she tells me that I just cant go from here Until she comes Until she comes Until she comes Until she comes

Pale skin Smell human Brother wolf and his sister the moon New lambs to the slaughter Strange fruit that you couldn’t refuse Wake up You think we’re make believe Wake up Some thinks you need to see, and it is real We’re slaves to the day But hero’s when the night slides in Lights on Blood pumping Through your body like a beacon until Cold sweat. Salvation Broken promises to lead you astray Wake up You think we’re make believe Wake up Some thinks you need to see, and it is real We’re slaves to the day But hero’s when the night slides in We’re slaves to the day But hero’s when the night slides When the night slides in When the night slides in

Enough 04:06
How, how could I know Cause it seemed good… well, good enough To satisfy Your desire would slowly change as it all goes wrong And so my friend, this ends here I’ve taken enough Listen to yourself Can you believe that it could help to criticise My desire would slowly change as it all goes wrong And so my friend, it ends here I’ve taken enough I’ll say it again. It ends here I’ve taken enough Enough I cant help you I made my confession the minute I met you I’ll say it again. This ends here I’ve taken enough Enough Time to stop. This ends here I’ve taken enough I’ve taken enough Yeah enough Let it go

Please stop Stop this doll show You keep talking Talking for me Please stop I’m eager to share blame I keep talking, but no body here could care You call her to see if she could give a damn You just can’t believe we’d end this way But I should just face it It’s too late It’s the end of the world You failed her It’s the end of your world You had it all Now see it fall No sleep, dark room I just lie alone here Making sense from mayhem As the story unwinds You call me to see if I still gave a damn I just can’t believe we’d go this way And I should just face it It’s too late It’s the end of the world You failed her It’s the end of your world We had it all Now see it It’s over and done The future unfolds with no one to blame except me It’s over and done We’re beyond console But nothing to save Save it It’s too late It’s the end of the world You failed us It’s the end of your world You had it all It’s the end of your world You could find me ever silent It’s the end of the world. Hope is final Hold you Blame you. It’s the end of the world You could find me ever silent It’s the end of the world Hope is final Hold you Blame you It’s the end of the world The end of everything The end of everything It’s the end of your world The end of everything The end of everything

Bullet 03:30
You cant believe I could pull the trigger No subtle warnings You can’t defend This sudden feeling is hard to swallow The cold steel in the palm of my hand No surprise I can’t help how I’m wired Reasons why I ease off the controls Same excuse that I use every time Just before it all goes Bang Shoot fast Think slow Rewind, but now the bullet’s in flight Knockdown I’m wrong again I cant believe I could pull the trigger No subtle warnings I can’t defend This sudden feeling It’s hard to swallow The cold steel in the palm of my hand No surprise I can’t help how I’m wired Reasons why I ease off the controls Same excuse that I use every time Just before it all goes Bang Shoot fast Think slow Rewind, but now the bullet’s in flight Knockdown I’m wrong again Bang Shoot fast Think slow Sink in, but now the bullet’s in flight Knocked down I’m wrong again To catch a bullet Bang Shoot fast Think slow Sink in, cant catch a bullet in flight Knocked down I’m wrong again Can’t bring the bullets back

Exit Wound 03:14
I can never get clear from all the sins I own But I have atoned, and then some You cannot forget to slip in All was wrong and not forgiven Closed tight inside you I’m leaving in chains for the crimes I’ve done Though I’ve made amends, you still bear my exit wounds I can never get clear I’ve carried my sentence so long, I’ve repented it all... and then some I’m leaving in chains for the crimes I’ve done Though I’ve made amends, you still bear my exit wounds I could say this I know Let me try to atone I’m leaving in chains for the sins I’ve done And you’ve been condemned, to still bear my exit wounds Save it Leaving my exit wound Save it Trying to choke the pain away

Call, it’s a roll of the dice that I’m taking Hit me with a choice and I’ll run with it all I’ll take it Gone, disappear like a thief with a fortune Shut down, but I’m taking the hit with a grin So now I’m the king of nothing Got no money, yeah I’m lucky I’m the king of nothing Shackle gone, man I’m loaded with nothing at all Call, it’s a roll of the dice that I’m taking Hit me with a choice & I’ll run with it all Because I’m the king of nothing Got no money, man I’m lucky I’m a king of nothing Shackle gone, man I’m loaded with nothing at all I’m a king of nothing I’m a king of nothing I’m a king of nothing I’m a king, with nothing at all When the dust clears, I’m gone I got nothing, but road I’m the king of nothing I’m the king of nothing I’m a king of nothing I’m a king, man I’m loaded I’m a king, with nothing I’m a king with nothing I’m a king with nothing I’m a king, of nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all, no I’m the king

They filled the seats as they climbed the trapeze to the top And pretty daisy how she drove them all crazy, and there was Jack Wall, he’s the human cannon ball Then Mr. Pickle, Such a performer He throws knives at his spinning bride And then Lights out, Shows on It’s a killer No one believes what they see Main man kicks in And steals the freak show Bringing the crowd to their feet It’s the rise of the reptile king He gives them chills as he takes Mrs Beal to the spot They grow uneasy as whispers something Then she walks out And when she’s gone, he just carries on Poor Mr. Pickle. Such a performer He threw knives at his spinning bride Until Lights out! Shows on He’s a killer No one believes what they see Main man kicks in And steals the freak show Bringing the crowd to their feet It’s the rise of the reptile There’s something wrong with the King. Inside Lights out! Shows on He’s a killer No one believes what they see Main man kicks in And steals the freak show Bringing the crowd to their feet He’s the start of the show And it’s a killer No one believes what they see And he’s the star of the show And he’s a killer Bringing the crowd to their feet It’s the rise of the reptile king

Misplaced 03:01
Caught by the change Memories decay No signs of life A life I’ve mislaid Keep telling myself I know this To see if I can still recall The man that I was when this started And try to find the life that I misplaced Caught by the change Memories decay No signs of life The life I’ve mislaid Passing myself I noticed See if I can still recall The man that I was when this started Tries to find the life that I misplaced

From The Sea 03:14
The coming sunlight meets the chill Scent of jasmine lingers still Dry earth & east wind brought her to me An ocean of desert brought her From the sea Carried By the sea She came The driest season Bleached sands Drought The waves of desert brought her From the sea Carried From the sea She came From the sea Carried By the sea She came From the sea My love By the sea She came to me

She Is 04:14
You’ve seen the change in my circuitry As my weakness for her seals my decline I’m blind to face up to some common sense Cause she’s taken over all of my time It’s a shame An illusion Just a game I never knew that I played But oh, that’s the way she is Oh, that’s just how I am bound to the way she is She is I try to breath and I turn to reason But she’s taken over, I’m wasting my time It’s a shame An illusion Just a game I never knew that I played Oh, that’s the way she is Oh, that’s just how I am bound to the way she is She is Roll up, roll up to the big top Watch the animal beg for her A game to play, but I didn’t know Oh, it’s the way she is It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter She is vengeance, she is flawless We understand. Nothing can save this She is cruelty, she is flawless We understand. Nothing can save this She is vengeance, she is flawless We understand. Nothing can change her She is vengeance, she is child like We understand. Nothing would change her
