Breathe in as the film begins Aware of the back lights dimming Why so serious? The plan will unfold verbatim to the scene Your punishment must be more severe Rise, rise and you shall fall Run you hopeless 71 victims Rise, rise and you shall fall Run you hopeless 71 victims 71 Break down, you’re mine you little freak Though we must obey our deed and be a hero to them all Breathe in as our plot thickens Destroy for the sake of having a good laugh or two Rise, rise and you shall fall Run you hopeless 71 victims Rise, rise and you shall fall Run you hopeless 71 victims 71 Rise, rise and you shall fall, rise Rise, rise and you shall fall, rise Hopeless on their knees you’ll make a joker of them all Rise, rise and you shall fall Justice for your 71 victims Rise, rise and you shall fall Rest you noble 71 victims 71

Today’s the day we run away to keep our sanity Escape from the cold and damp Where you cannot see your last breath And as we take in the sea Cool island breeze Watch your problems float away, take the time to seize the day Where you’re free from divine decay Wake up, Wake up I’m tired of feeling like I can’t escape From this windy atrocity We feel it in our bones It’s gotta get you kinda angry Black ice covers the ground So I walk carefully to work in sorrow When my mother sat me down she told me that I wasn’t to blame When your father left us he was wrong So he left us all alone, as that year became the next Well I’m glad he’s gone, he was a filthy drunk Wake up, wake up So when you go to sleep Be careful to keep breathing Mediocrity When all the best things leave for good I’m lying next to wonderful friends on a pleasant bed of sand Not a tense muscle in me Subtle breeze as I bask in sunlight I’m tired of feeling like I can’t escape From this windy atrocity We feel it in our bones It’s gotta get you kinda angry Black ice covers the ground So I walk carefully to work in sorrow So when you go to sleep Be careful to keep breathing Mediocrity When all the best things leave

Cover up, from tear gas, face first in a trench Accompanied by rats spreading diseases He is there by conscription, though he fought with proscription Damp and scared in trenches Bounds of horrible stenches Jacket caught in barbed wire Constant gunfire Send me back to her arms Captured imprisoned blind in a glass house, time stands still Canvas of honor stronger than torture, time will tell Damp and scared in trenches Bounds of horrible stenches Jacket caught in barbed wire Constant gunfire Damp and scared in trenches Drunk off war in marshes When I draw my pistol for the cause, and I fear the white star’s gonna poison me Casualties in 1915 When I kill a stranger for the cause, but I’m not a murderer I am a patriot Mustn't tell my family When I draw my pistol for the cause, and I fear the white star’s gonna poison me Casualties in 1915 When I kill a stranger for the cause, but I’m not a murderer I am a patriot Mustn't tell my family When I draw my pistol for the cause When I kill a stranger for the cause When I draw my pistol

Resolutions (free) 05:04
Woken by a breeze Seeping through the broken window Stolen from a dream Where I was no longer in the cold Homemade remedies Desperately torment my one vice Unbalanced chemically Pleading one more time will suffice So you feel left behind? Lacking peace of mind, person undefined Keeping up those resolutions (keeping up your resolutions) And so your body’s trembling Voice is deafening, eyes are menacing Keeping up those resolutions (keeping up your resolutions) We are raised to be addicts We are raised to be convicts Hollywood just wants to get us hooked We are raised to idolize fame Keeping up our january resolutions Won’t be leaving home I’ve yet to shovel all that damn snow Wanna stay in bed and rot Hiding from the cold, no one there to hold Fearing all those resolutions (fearing all my resolutions) Lack of self control Seems like this year is gonna be the same And who the hell am I kidding? Nobody at all, no one even called To ask about your resolutions (to ask about your resolutions) We are raised to be addicts We are raised to be convicts Hollywood just wants to get us hooked We are raised to idolize fame Keeping up our january resolutions Itching for a taste Of wasted habits and drunken crimes Sober mind defaced Watching all the memories erase Stay put on the ground Cowering from every last blow Watch your body drown So much pain from head to toe Hollywood just wants to get us hooked We are raised to idolize fame Keeping up those january resolutions Keeping up those january resolutions

What a way to start the year Passed out on the tile Don’t even know who’s house I’m in I drank too much wine So poisoned I’m blind, dear god I drank too much wine So everyone’s crying Off the walls a scent of beer With a hint of lime Horrible stains on shag carpet, reminisce Feel like a child again Making a mess Where are my so called friends? Laughing while they run away I drank too much wine So poisoned I’m blind, dear god I drank too much wine So everyone’s crying Dirty hands, blood run dry And my knuckles cut Don’t even know who’s blood it is, what have I done? I drank too much wine So poisoned I’m blind, dear god I drank too much wine So everyone’s crying I drank too much wine I drank too much wine I drank too much wine I drank too much wine Start with a mess Dirt on my hands Start with a mess What have I done?

I don’t know what’s outside that door But I’m terribly nervous Best stay inside, so I can hide Feeling trapped and isolated Save me from my fears, my failures Agoraphobia is our latest fad Or being bipolar It changes each week, dysfunctional freak Sing me to sleep Watch my sanity creep Falling away from my terrible mind I am just the nervous kind, oh Hide away from what could get me So I cower in my safe world A dash of delusion and worry I’m terribly crazy Or am I just lazy? Sing me to sleep Watch my sanity creep Falling away from my terrible mind I am just the nervous kind No more time for running, away, away Am I done pretending to be okay, okay I don’t know what’s outside that door But I’m terribly nervous Stay inside, so I can hide Sing me to sleep Watch my sanity creep Falling away from my terrible mind I am just the nervous kind I am the nervous kind

Sleek and fine yellow ochre coat with several unique black markings, hunting prey Sharp retractable claws to capture a plentiful amount of victims, lunch today And we cry that we want to live, so we smother and we strangle to death Time to sneak on our meat this evening Calculating and planning and waiting and scanning our attack Through the frozen grass We are peeking never sleeping To survive It’s our time to shine and recover Black and orange hiding in the lake, waiting for my dear to drink, time to play And it cries that it wants to live, well I don’t really give a damn, time to feed Through the frozen grass We are peeking never sleeping To survive It’s our time to shine and recover Through the frozen grass We are creeping always seeking To survive Through the frozen grass We are peeking never sleeping To survive It’s our time to shine and recover

Dear god there’s another one dead Can’t fight all the thoughts in my head Tick tock that’s the sound of your life Gone by while I sharpen my knife Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock Your life is running out If the wrong man dies then I’m shattered to bits Your life is running out Tick tock tick tock The tub is running bloodWhen I try so hard to keep innocence alive The tub still runs with blood And if I follow your code Oh oh oh oh five personalities Don’t wanna end up alone Oh oh oh oh five personalities I am a monster I am a killerCan’t change I’m a monster for life Woah, woah Let’s feed my addiction tonight Woah Tick tock tick tock He whispered in her earWell the man is a star though he won’t get very far Could the snow drop take his life And if I follow your code Oh oh oh oh five personalities Don’t wanna end up alone Oh oh oh oh five personalities I am a monster I am a killer Hands turning numb, he knows exactly what he’s done Follow your code Don’t forget your son, he knows exactly what you’ve done End up alone Dear god there’s another one dead Can’t fight all the thoughts in my head Tick tock that’s the sound of your life Gone by as I sharpen my knife And if I follow your code Oh oh oh oh five personalities Don’t wanna end up alone Oh oh oh oh five personalities I am a monster I am a killer Hands turning numb, he knows exactly what he’s done Follow your code Don’t forget your son, he knows exactly what you’ve done End up alone

Jealous John 03:52
In his smile, he really wants to take her home But she tells him no And a smile grow grows, when he sees her woes woe Let me out of here, Julie cry And her fear it grow grows, and her heart has froze froze This’ll teach her, twisted echoes of another man Jealous John has taken what he wants, a plan he knows Time we talked on the phone, the phone Nights we spent all alone, our nights alone Was it all just a heaping pile of blasphemy? Or was it all a lie? I had to put dear Julie’s life in Jeopardy Deliver it and tie me up in chains I’ll promise not to scream when I’m in pain You selfish pig with nothing left to gain Convince yourself my life will lead to fame Time we talked on the phone, the phone Nights we spent all alone, our nights alone Was it all just a heaping pile of blasphemy? Or was it all a lie? I had to put my Julie’s life in Jeopardy Please set me free Your life’s in jeopardy Remove these steel cold rusty chains I wanna see you pain Let me go You chose him Let me free Over me I can’t breathe Deliver it and tie me up in chains I’ll promise not to scream when I’m in pain You selfish pig with nothing left to gain Convince yourself my life will lead to fame

Blind 04:02
How does it feel to be in love? But the catch is you’re alone Could it be real to share a thought? When it’s so clear that no one’s Home Home In this life we search to find our own Soul to smother And the past I fear we can’t atone And it seems that All we want is, all we want is love But you can’t find it All we want is, all we want is love Now it seems as though you’re blind to it He has your eyes without disguise They’re the same deep blue as hers Every time I see his smile I ask where’s his mother Hiding from her one and only son And his lonely father Made a happy family undone So father’s crying All we want is, all we want is love But you can’t find it All we want is, all we want is love Now it seems as though you’re blind to it Imagine her without you Please make it stop Someone touching her hand Kissing her neck All we want is, all we want is love All we want is, all we want is love But you can’t find it All we want is, all we want is love Now it seems as though you’re blind to it All we want is love Are you blind?

I was a king before they turned away from me oh oh Before I go make sure to take my hard earned pay oh oh Watch my allies flee, for the penitentiary I promise you that I will be victorious How dare you say I can’t be here Say what you wanted to me, ah you Just broke my heart, in two thousand pieces So take what you wanted from me, ah you Just stole my pride, but I promise you that I Will be victorious Take everyone and hide They’ll turn against anyone different So when I was a boy my mother always said to me oh oh Don’t trust a soul, and never let your guard down Say what you wanted to me, ah you Just broke my heart, in two thousand pieces So take what you wanted from me, ah you Just stole my pride, but I promise you that I Will be victorious Begging you please to remove me from this dictatorship Then watch me grow as you whither away Send me, send me to my nightmare Take this letter, watch it ignite and burn it to the ground Say what you want to me I can’t be here Say what you wanted to me

Twisted voice on the radio Tricking us all, prophets are small Consumerism I'm overpowered Shaken by brisk air Sunny winters glare so blinding Pleasant little stare Lost without a care Fallen to my knees in despair I can barely breath give me air Twisted voice on the radio Tricking us all, prophets are small Consumerism I'm overpowered Twisted voice on the radio Sunny winters glare Syncopated hearts in a flame of lust Reconnect our bonds I said to my muse So what did you say? Twisted voice on the radio Tricking us all, prophets are small Consumerism I'm overpowered Twisted voice on the radio Tricking us all, prophets are small Consumerism I'm overpowered Twisted voice on the radio Damned for all my tricks, so unloved I can barely breathe, do I follow god? Seems I'm on my knees, praying to no one Won't you please save me, with your gentle kiss And if you save me, I'll show you true bliss
