Welcome to the circus
Welcome to the shit show
Just another freak show
Hang your hat and hate at the door
It's a game of torture
Souls are made to order
Everything you wanted and more
You've gotta kill somebody to thrill somebody
Everybody's gotta reason to bleed
You've gotta f*ck somebody to know somebody
That motherf*cker ain't me
Am I the only one
That doesn't buy into the lies?
Am I the only one
That doesn't wear a disguise?
'Cause if I can't break it
And I can't change it
Then tell me, how will I know? (Tell me, how will I?)
Am I the only one
That isn't just here for the show?
Welcome to the circus
Grab your favorite stones
They came for broken bones
That's what happens when you sign on the line
There's no need for excuses
Everybody loses
Only way you'll ever win is to die
You've gotta burn somebody to learn somebody
Everybody's got a Jekyll and Hyde
You gotta curse somebody to hurt somebody
Everybody needs a reason to die
Am I the only one
That doesn't buy into the lies?
Am I the only one
That doesn't wear a disguise?
'Cause if I can't break it
And I can't change it
Then tell me, how will I know? (Tell me, how will I?)
Am I the only one
That isn't just here for the show?
Welcome to the circus
You gotta hide your face
(Sell them what they bought 'cha)
(Teach them what they taught 'cha)
You gotta hide your veins
(This is how they gut 'cha)
(Right before they cut ya)
You gotta hide your pain
(Ugly how they rule you)
(That's just how they screw you)
You gotta hide your rage
(Everyone has earned this)
(Welcome to the circus)
Tickey, tickey, tasket
Time to burn the casket
Time to burn this motherf*cker down
Am I the only one
That doesn't buy into the lies?
Am I the only one
That doesn't wear a disguise? (Doesn't wear a disguise)
'Cause if I can't break it
And I can't change it
Then tell me, how will I know? (Tell me, how will I?)
Am I the only one
That isn't just here for the show? (Not just here for the)
Am I
Tell me, how will I know? (Tell me, how will I?)
Am I the only one
That isn't just here for the show?
Welcome to the circus

Afterlife
I've heard the rumors that the rumors all were true
They may be looking for me (they may be looking for me)
But they're coming for you (but they're coming for you)
I'll paint a picture you can better understand
They promise diamonds (they promise diamonds)
But they pay in sand
It goes on and on and on and on and on
(An old broken record stuck on the same song)
It goes on and on and on and on and on
(You all know it's wrong but you're singing along)
(I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
I don't wanna have to wait for the fall (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this
I don't wanna have to fall on the knife (I don't wanna wait)
Forever after, this disaster
Bring the afterlife
You'd cut your nose off just to spite your f*ckin' face, ah
That's who you are (that's who you are)
You know your place (you know your place)
You let them lead you by the throat with broken hands
So how's the view beneath their shoe (and what's your plan)
It goes on and on and on and on and on
(An old broken record stuck on the same song)
It goes on and on and on and on and on
(We all know it's wrong but we're singing along)
(I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
I don't wanna have to wait for the fall (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this
I don't wanna have to fall on the knife (I don't wanna wait)
Forever after, this disaster
Bring the afterlife
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait for heaven to save us
I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to save us
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
(I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
I don't wanna have to wait for the fall (I don't wanna wait)
I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna have to fall on the knife (I don't wanna wait)

Times Like These
It's nights like this under a harvest moon
It came too fast and it's gone too soon
A wilted rose and a frozen tomb
A memory for the wind, anyway
Has anybody noticed that the sky is falling?
Are we all just happy in the rain?
Am I the only one who hears the sirens calling?
Am I the only one who feels the pain?
It's times like these
When the sorrow shadows all the laughter
Times like these
When the hurt goes on and on forever
Times like these, I wanna fade away
I read all the pages from left to right
I took one in the morning and one at night
A fire still burns, but it's cold inside
It's all that I can do, anyway
No one wants to talk about the end is coming
Pointing fingers, handing out the blame
If I gave you answers to all your questions
Could you change or would you stay the same?
'Cause it's times like these
When left is right and forwards, backwards
Times like these
When days and nights just roll together
Times like these, I wanna fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Times like these (these)
I wanna fade away (fade away)
In times like these (like these)
Times like these
'Cause it's times like these
When the sorrow shadows all the laughter
It's times like these
When it seems like nothing worse can happen
Times like these
It's times like these I wanna fade away
It's times like these (like these)
I wanna fade away (fade away)
It's time like these (like these)
In times like these
It came too fast and it's gone too soon
A wilted rose and a frozen tomb
A memory for the wind, anyway
Has anybody noticed that the sky is falling?
Are we all just happy in the rain?
Am I the only one who hears the sirens calling?
Am I the only one who feels the pain?
It's times like these
When the sorrow shadows all the laughter
Times like these
When the hurt goes on and on forever
Times like these, I wanna fade away
I read all the pages from left to right
I took one in the morning and one at night
A fire still burns, but it's cold inside

No one wants to talk about the end is coming

Roll Dem Bones
This'll be the last tear I shed for you
Some say they kill for God
And some kill for sport
The only difference makes no difference to me
It just depends on what looks better in court
'Cause it's a knock down, drag out, everybody bow down
Sick and twisted game that you play
There are no resolutions in the broken institutions
Or the funny bloody money you crave
This is the last tear
This is the last time
There was a time that I believed I could've changed it all
Somebody got to me, somebody's got to pay
There was a time that I believed I could've changed the world
Now I can't, now I don't, now I won't
So roll them bones
Puff your chest out at me
Just what the f*ck were you thinking?
I wrote the book on that shit
Bound it, backed it, burned it all down
I'm a bully beating reaper, cheating super villain, king of heathens
Everything you know that you're not
You're like a half-wit parlor trick, no one ever gave a shit
I'm laughing on the day that you drop
This is the last tear
This is the last time
There was a time that I believed I could've changed it all
Somebody got to me, somebody's got to pay
There was a time that I believed I could've changed the world
Now I can't, now I don't, now I won't
So roll them bones
This is the last tear
This is the last time
There was a time that I believed I could've changed it all
Somebody got to me, somebody's got to pay
There was a time that I believed I could've changed the world
Now I can't, now I don't, now I won't
So roll them bones
Roll them bones
Some say they kill for God
And some kill for sport
The only difference makes no difference to me
It just depends on what looks better in court
'Cause it's a knock down, drag out, everybody bow down
Sick and twisted game that you play
There are no resolutions in the broken institutions
Or the funny bloody money you crave
This is the last tear
This is the last time
There was a time that I believed I could've changed it all
Somebody got to me, somebody's got to pay
There was a time that I believed I could've changed the world
Now I can't, now I don't, now I won't

Pick Up Behind You
Do you remember when you said this wasn't real?
Life was just a game we played and time was made to kill
Do you remember when you said we'd never last?
You set me up for failure, then you threw me in the trash
I've forgotten how heavy you are
You're becoming so hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
Do you remember how the pulse felt in my chest?
Or did you simply block it out, erase it like the rest?
Do you remember how your heart would never change?
You told me as you turned away and left me with the pain
I've forgotten how heavy you are
You're becoming so hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
I've forgotten how heavy you are
You're becoming too hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
I've forgotten how heavy you are (heavy you are)
You're becoming so hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
Life was just a game we played and time was made to kill
Do you remember when you said we'd never last?
You set me up for failure, then you threw me in the trash
I've forgotten how heavy you are
You're becoming so hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
Do you remember how the pulse felt in my chest?
Or did you simply block it out, erase it like the rest?
Do you remember how your heart would never change?
You told me as you turned away and left me with the pain
I've forgotten how heavy you are
You're becoming so hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
I've forgotten how heavy you are
You're becoming too hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you
I've forgotten how heavy you are (heavy you are)
You're becoming so hard to hold on to
No matter how far or how hard you fall
I'll be there to pick up behind you

Judgement Day
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
You gotta watch for the shot
Beware the ricochet
Dance, dance, motherf*cker
Till the fat bitch sings
You get one for the chamber
Two for good health
Know a little about evil
And a lot about hell
Playing ring around the daisies
With a shotgun shell
If you're gonna take a life
Better keep it to yourself
Seems every time I think
There's just a little bit of hope
Someone comes out swinging
With a deadman's rope
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
Damned if I will
Damned if I won't
Doomed if I try
Doomed if I fail
Damn you all to hell
I'm no angel, I'm no savior
And I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil
'Cause I still can feel the pain
Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it
On my final Judgement Day
In my final resting place
When I finally found my grace
I'll be sure to ask about it
On my final Judgement Day
My final Judgement Day
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
My final Judgement Day
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
My final Judgement Day
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
My final Judgement Day
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
You gotta watch for the shot
Beware the ricochet
Dance, dance, motherf*cker
Till the fat bitch sings
You get one for the chamber
Two for good health
Know a little about evil
And a lot about hell
Playing ring around the daisies
With a shotgun shell
If you're gonna take a life
Better keep it to yourself
Seems every time I think
There's just a little bit of hope
Someone comes out swinging
With a deadman's rope
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
Damned if I will
Damned if I won't
Doomed if I try
Doomed if I fail
Damn you all to hell
I'm no angel, I'm no savior
And I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil
'Cause I still can feel the pain
Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it
On my final Judgement Day
In my final resting place
When I finally found my grace
I'll be sure to ask about it
On my final Judgement Day
My final Judgement Day
La-hah, laaa-hah, la-hah, la-hah-ahhh
My final Judgement Day

IOU
I wish someone would wake me
'Cause I can't sleep at all
Stuck in purgatory
Waiting for the fall
Auditioned all the endings
I find it hard to tell
Is it better to serve in heaven
Or better to reign in hell?
Say my name
And watch the fire grow
Curse my name
A demon gets its horns
See my face
The one behind my eyes
I'm a son of a bitch
I'm as bad as it gets
And I'll be that 'til I die
I wish someone would wake me
'Cause I can't sleep at all
Stuck in purgatory
Waiting for the fall
Auditioned all the endings
I find it hard to tell
Is it better to serve in heaven
Or better to reign in hell?
You've never known pain before
Cain before
But I'm gonna show you
You've never been drained before
Shamed before
But I'd love to share
You've never known insane before
Deranged before
I'm here to show you
I owe you nothing
Feel my pain (pain)
I bet you can't relate
Know my rage (rage)
The one you instigate
Hate this place (place)
The one in which you hide
The devil I know or the devil I don't
I just can't pick a side
I wish someone would wake me
'Cause I can't sleep at all
Stuck in purgatory
Waiting for the fall
Auditioned all the endings
I find it hard to tell
Is it better to serve in heaven
Or better to reign in hell?
You've never known pain before

You've never been drained before
Shamed before

Shamed before

You've never known insane before
Deranged before
I'm here to show you
I owe you absolutely nothing
I owe you nothing
'Cause I can't sleep at all
Stuck in purgatory
Waiting for the fall
Auditioned all the endings
I find it hard to tell
Is it better to serve in heaven
Or better to reign in hell?

Thanks for Asking
'Cause I'm alright, rhanks for asking
There's a million things I'd love to say but you don't wanna hear
Yeah, it's alright, I don't need your blessings
I'd rather face the wrath of angels than the devil in the mirror
I don't think God is listening
She told us to follow, but left us behind
I've never seen an angel
But I know the devil, and he told me I'm fine
What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger
That's what everyone keeps tellin' me
I'd rather capsize than chase an old horizon
Throw me back into the deadest of seas
Well, I know that God is laughing
She gave us our wings, but never taught us to fly
They say the end is coming
And if that's true, well, I don't think I mind
I always knew it would come to this
Heaven or Hell? I can't tell which is which
I always knew it would come to this
Heaven or Hell? I can't tell which is which
Tell which is which
I don't think God is listening
She told us to follow, but left us behind
I've never seen an angel
But I know the devil, and he told me I'm fine
I know that God is laughing
She gave us our wings, but never taught us to fly
They say the end is coming
And if that's true, well, I don't think I mind
Roll, roll, roll, keep on moving ahead
Roll, roll, roll, guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
There's a million things I'd love to say but you don't wanna hear

Blood And Tar
Peel away the skin that hides your face
Show me who you really are
Underneath that broken smile you wear
You're twisted, ugly and bizarre (just like me)
I'm tired of pretending that this isn't ending
I'm not sure which side of you I fear the most
Enemy
That is the tag you gave me
I guess that makes me your favorite scar
Enemy
You pushed until I'm broken
I'm what you made me
A badge of blood and tar
Crash and burn, you'd think you'd learn
It's almost like you love the pain
If you can't have it, then no one will
You're narcissistic and deranged (just like me)
There's so much deception that we've lost reception
I'm not sure which part of you I hate the most
Enemy
That is the tag you gave me
I guess that makes me your favorite scar
Enemy
You pushed until I'm broken
I'm what you made me
A badge of blood and tar
When we remember we are all mad
The mysteries disappear
And life stands, explained
Enemy
That is the tag you gave me
I guess that makes me your favorite scar
Enemy
You pushed until I'm broken
I'm what you made me
A badge of blood and tar
Show me who you really are
Underneath that broken smile you wear
You're twisted, ugly and bizarre (just like me)
I'm tired of pretending that this isn't ending
I'm not sure which side of you I fear the most
Enemy
That is the tag you gave me
I guess that makes me your favorite scar
Enemy
You pushed until I'm broken
I'm what you made me
A badge of blood and tar
Crash and burn, you'd think you'd learn
It's almost like you love the pain
If you can't have it, then no one will
You're narcissistic and deranged (just like me)
There's so much deception that we've lost reception
I'm not sure which part of you I hate the most
Enemy
That is the tag you gave me
I guess that makes me your favorite scar
Enemy
You pushed until I'm broken
I'm what you made me
A badge of blood and tar
When we remember we are all mad
The mysteries disappear
And life stands, explained
Enemy
That is the tag you gave me
I guess that makes me your favorite scar
Enemy
You pushed until I'm broken
I'm what you made me
A badge of blood and tar

All I Know
I don't think that I'm crazy
Yeah, but how would I know?
When the voices remind me
That it's all just for show
Well, I thought I had answers
But the questions have changed
It's so hard to feel anything
When I've only known pain
Pain
You can cast me out and dig my hole
Spit on my grave, curse my soul
You can hold me down and not let go
But the devil you fear is all I know
And the road that's less traveled
Well, it's all that I've known
Every time I look backwards
There's still so far to go
If I'm born to be broken
Cold, bloody and numb
Tell me, why am I running?
What am I running from?
From?
You can cast me out and dig my hole
Spit on my grave, curse my soul
You can hold me down and not let go
But the devil you fear is all I've ever
All I've ever, all I've ever known
As I sit here in silence
All alone in myself
Who the hell would believe me?
Better yet, who would I tell?
I can tell
You can cast me out and dig my hole
Spit on my grave, curse my soul
You can hold me down and not let go
But the devil you fear is all I know
Yeah, but how would I know?
When the voices remind me
That it's all just for show
Well, I thought I had answers
But the questions have changed
It's so hard to feel anything
When I've only known pain
Pain
You can cast me out and dig my hole
Spit on my grave, curse my soul
You can hold me down and not let go
But the devil you fear is all I know
And the road that's less traveled
Well, it's all that I've known
Every time I look backwards
There's still so far to go
If I'm born to be broken
Cold, bloody and numb
Tell me, why am I running?
What am I running from?
From?
You can cast me out and dig my hole
Spit on my grave, curse my soul
You can hold me down and not let go
But the devil you fear is all I've ever
All I've ever, all I've ever known
As I sit here in silence
All alone in myself
Who the hell would believe me?
Better yet, who would I tell?
I can tell
You can cast me out and dig my hole
Spit on my grave, curse my soul
You can hold me down and not let go

Gold Gutter
Aw shit
You know what f*ckin' time it is
Ooh
Burn me, burn me down
I'd like to thank the world
For failing me (thank you all)
I'd count the ways, but that'd take days and where do I begin?
(With you, and you, and you, and you)
I'd like to thank the bottom
For breaking me (I owe you one)
And I'd like to thank the Bible for sin (for sin)
For sin
A pound of flesh
Won't save your soul
Save your breath, light the match
And look out below
Fingers to the sky, they're pointed at you
Right at you, motherf*cker
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter, la
I'd like to thank the world
For blaming me (you, and you, and you)
It is what is, I did what I did to survive
(I'm not ashamed)
I'd like to thank you all
For spitting on my grave
I know it makes you sick but I'm alive (still here)
Alive
A pound of flesh
Won't save your soul
Save your breath, light the match
And look out below
Fingers to the sky, they're pointed at you
Right at you, motherf*cker
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter
This is my favorite part of the movie
Naw, not fading to black
This is where you f*ckin' scream
Bounce
Ack
Follow me, follow me, follow me down
A pound of flesh
Won't save your soul
Save your breath, light the match
And look out below
Fingers to the sky, they're pointed at you
Right at you, motherf*cker
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter
Eye on the prize, fist in the gold
And a foot in the gutter, lie
La-la-lie
La-la
Ah, ah
That's what's up
You know what f*ckin' time it is
Ooh
Burn me, burn me down
I'd like to thank the world
For failing me (thank you all)
I'd count the ways, but that'd take days and where do I begin?
(With you, and you, and you, and you)
I'd like to thank the bottom
For breaking me (I owe you one)
And I'd like to thank the Bible for sin (for sin)

Won't save your soul

That's what's up

The End
It's hard to tell these days in which ways that we're falling
I'm not sure anymore what's right or what is wrong
It hurts to feel, to think, to know I may be nothing
But then again I've been wrong before
I've opened up my eyes
Just to wish that I'd stayed blind
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end?
Over and over
Until it's over
The End
It's hard to fathom just how fast we all are spinning
It's hard to know that there's a heaven beyond hell
It burns a hole right through my soul to think it's ending
But then again (then again), I've been right right before
I've opened up my eyes
Just to find out you're all blind
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end
Over and over
Until it's over
Make a wish
Say a prayer
Hope that someone is out there
Build a bridge to Babylon
Then burn it to the ground
Make a wish
Say a prayer
Hope that someone is out there
Build a bridge to Babylon
Then burn it to the ground
(Burn it to the ground)
Burn it to the ground
(Burn it to the ground)
Burn it to the ground
(Burn it to the ground)
Build a bridge to Babylon
Then burn it, burn it, burn it down
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end
Over and over
Until it's over
Just start it over
Until it's over
Over and over
The end
The end
I'm not sure anymore what's right or what is wrong
It hurts to feel, to think, to know I may be nothing
But then again I've been wrong before
I've opened up my eyes
Just to wish that I'd stayed blind
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end?
Over and over
Until it's over
The End
It's hard to fathom just how fast we all are spinning
It's hard to know that there's a heaven beyond hell
It burns a hole right through my soul to think it's ending
But then again (then again), I've been right right before
I've opened up my eyes
Just to find out you're all blind
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end
Over and over
Until it's over
Make a wish
Say a prayer
Hope that someone is out there
Build a bridge to Babylon
Then burn it to the ground
Make a wish
Say a prayer
Hope that someone is out there
Build a bridge to Babylon
Then burn it to the ground
(Burn it to the ground)
Burn it to the ground
(Burn it to the ground)
Burn it to the ground
(Burn it to the ground)
Build a bridge to Babylon
Then burn it, burn it, burn it down
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end
Over and over
Until it's over
Just start it over
Until it's over
Over and over
The end
The end
