IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT!/

My dual lives are incompatible, I know/
One is a true lie, the other is a blue pill/
Keeping it too real... uncomfortable/
Perpetual spiritual tug of war/

It only.../

Unfocused, claustrophobic, aggravated/
Frustrated enough to punch a blackhole through a baby/
I threw the last stone like a fastball to Hades/
Let's rock! Somebody save me from my own freewill/

You know the drill; spill the blood of animals/
Sacrifice the spark to recapture the shadow/
Gathering the dust of my shattered dreamzzz/
Just to throw it back in the faces of the shayateen/

Pay no heed to the disbelievers/
Skin the snakes, evict the demons/
Shoot the monkeys, drown the phoenix/
Muted screams are the sound of freedom... ding!/

I need a fix, because I'm going down yet again/
Down to the bits that are left of myself/
And if the mouse howls, just try to ignore it/
But the sun can't stop the moon from getting blue/
Gnawing at your soul.../

My dual lives are incompatible, I know/
One is a true lie, the other is a blue pill/
Keeping it too real... uncomfortable/
Perpetual spiritual tug of war/

It only ends when my physical body does/
It only ends when my physical body does/
It only ends when my physical body does/
Exhaustion.../

IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
EXHAUSTION./

You dodge bullets... I jump in front of them/
Russian roulette; if I don't lose, you don't win/
I've got the whole world under my skin/
And I'll go down swinging with a blade in my hand/

Blunted on reality/
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can skin you/
Snake Whacking Champion; no sympathy for the devils/
Dare you sample some of this stress in my life?/
The Scissorhands of DOOM cutting off my air supply/
Gloom on my face, man/
Fuelled by vibrations, feeling... evil again/

The monkey on my back is a guerrilla/
The Zoo has a "no returns" policy/
Constantly conflicted: resisting Godzilla/
Playing ping pong, piggybacking King Kong/
And honestly, he's getting on my nerves/

Words mean nothing; she won't wait forever/
I'm clutching one too many universes/
The time/space continuum is broken.../

I don't know what's real, living this fake life/
Where nothing beats us up more than the mundane/

Whatever, man/
Talking all that **** again/
Yeah, I know right... and I'm not even finished yet/

Forget peace, we want justice/
I don't just turn the other cheek; I return to seek vengeance/
Eye for an eye: you'll all be blind soon/
Tooth for a tooth: you'll all eat plates/
Fang in the oculus/
In the shade, in the stone garden of the octopus/
Out the box, thinking about how to get more oxygen/
Scar on my wrist to help remind me of my covenant to GOD/
I'm good for nothing!/

I cry only when it's inappropriate/
And I fight only to convert my opponents/
Bodies on my sword never share my thoughts/
When the corpse get heavy, cold shoulder the world/

And who's toxic?/
Give me a purity ring, I'll put my rot in it./

Cabin fever dream/
Anxiety ruined my first everything/
But everything's alright.../

People think I'm negative/
I'd prefer realistic/
With some heavy surrealism in the mix/

Life's an experiment/
Death's a religious experience/
And I've been speaking in tongues forever/

They don't understand me/
And it used to make me angry/
Dual existence as a magnet and a *****/

I'm the strangest stranger/
Faceless nomad/
No-one knows me, only what God shows them/

And that's what's up/
Nerves shot into dust/
Astronaut lost in space without a suit/

I'm the strangest stranger/
Faceless nomad/
No man knows me, only what God shows them/

Never sell out/
They try to wear my soul out/
I wear my soul outside my physical/
As spiritual body armor.../

FIREBALL./

I am not a bird/
I'm a rock/
People can't move me/
Only God can throw me/
Curveball at your brain/
The box is unopened/
I'm on the outside/
Floating through space/
Timeshift jigsaw/
Whiteflash rollover sideways/
Memory overlappage/
Imperfect loopage/
Phasing in & out/
Two turntables spinning/
Vertigo/
Skipping town/
Like a rolling stone/
Let's rock.../

Breakups in the A.M./
Fall back to sleep/
Back caught a rusty blade in it/
Brain drizzle permanent/
Cold vein ****** pulse cannon/
False idols shut the **** up/
Or get throat cancer... ahem/
I'll hack it out with a boxcutter/
Allaah, give me strength/
Let me **** Godzilla/
Manic Chainsaw Man in Morin Hotel/
Wear the devils down/
'Til they offer up their hearts/
Please make it stop/
Then I tear it apart/
Break the faucet off/
And bathe in the blood/
Yeah... The Force isn't with you/
Life is crystal skull disco inferno/
Death is withdrawal in a courtroom/
She's a drama generator/
With a broken off switch/
I don't go outside; I don't like ****/
Isolation tank alt reality check?/

Get lost... in my head like a hole in a wall/
Dark knight of the soul./

I hate you/
All you bring is trauma & chaos/
The only reason you got married? /
Trick someone to save you/
Bloodsucker/
Stuck in a hole you can't get out of/
Digging deeper/
And if it rains, we're all gonna drown/
Like rats in a cage/
Another slap to the face/
And you play so dumb/
I'm gonna die of frustration/
Suicide/
The card you hold over my head/
Because your problems are my problems/
Whether I like it or not/
Nothing is ever your fault/
You've always got the best excuses/
Every time you get caught/
Just create another drama/
And you play so dumb/
I'm gonna die of frustration/
Give me just one reason/
Not to blow it all up/
But you can't./

Reoccurring dream/
A girl called Jolene/
Wiccan chick/
And when I'm with her/
I'm in a fugue state/
Not supposed to remember/
Repeat her name to myself/
How many times have I been here?/
Many, many times before/
To get to her house/
We have to climb this big ladder/
Up the side of a mountain/
And it's hard to dismount/
She said something about Tupac/
I think it's a spell/
The presence of others is felt/
But they stay where they are/
She leads me to her room/
And we're def gonna smash/
No condoms allowed/
She wants to get pregnant/
We don't talk at all/
We don't talk at all/
I transition again/
But this iteration is different/
And that is somehow profound/
She leads me to her room/
And we're def gonna smash/
No condoms allowed/
She wants to get pregnant/
We don't talk at all/
I transition again/
But this iteration is different/
And that is somehow profound/
We don't talk at all/
I transition again/
But this iteration is different/
And that is somehow profound/
But they stay where they are/
She leads me to her room/
And we're def gonna smash/
No condoms allowed/
She wants to get pregnant/
We don't talk at all/
I transition again/
But this iteration is different/
And that is somehow profound./

**** fool/
Misunderstood/
Floating face down/
In infinity pools/

Permanent vacation/
That's what they all think/
Cockroach with no home/
Waiting for defeat/

Everyday's a cheat day/
The whole world's a corner/
Back against the wall/
With sin at the door... of my brain/

Scratching like an old dog/
Barking mad; bite hard/
Man on fire/
Dumpster diving headfirst/

I don't need a doctor/
But I want a wet nurse/
Take a step back/
Don't be an edgelord/

Everybody feels like/
They want the red pill/
Until they wake up naked/
Next to a dead girl/

Oh ****!/
Can't really remember my dreams/
But I sweat silver bullets/
Just to shoot up the fiends/

I've seen things/
Keep talking that trash now/
Bankrupture/
I'll give you a smashmouth./
