Beat Down 03:14
i want a beat down but just for the education I want a three-way but just for the conversation (there’s a lot more things to say that way) i want a clean fight with my own reflection in the mirror i wanna get lost but never found a permanent defection from myself now & i don’t need no love it ain’t strong enough all i need now is a beat down something i can feel even if it never heals i wanna break something’s gotta break don’t wanna live itinerant i wanna be carcinogen i wanna get smoked like a cigarette so line me up & knock me down i’ve lived too long in this small town i want to break something’s gotta break & i don’t need more character no telemundo dramas here i wanna breathe in reality i drive all night to disconnect ‘cause if I don’t you’re in my head the highway signs they clear my mind you can roll on you can roll on you can roll on me you can roll on me now & i don’t want no love & i don’t need no love all i need now is a beat down something i can feel something that is real i’m just tired of feeling beat down beat down & i don’t need your love it ain’t strong enough all i need now is a beat down something i can feel even if it never heals i wanna break something’s gotta break

Blue Lines 03:30
thin blue lines you try & disguise 'em with mascara hiding them from sight & oh goddamn the endless nights grubby nose club kids roaming our hallways with glowing eyes nobody’s home answering the phone you said you weren’t about it but aw, you loved the tone a bee in your bonnet you got all the tea in china i got zero feelings on it give or take a plus or minus (sonnet) thin blue lines you try & disguise 'em with mascara hiding them from sight & oh goddamn the endless lies you spin you cut em with ovaltine hoping nobody reads between them nobody’s home answering the phone you said you weren’t about it but aw, you loved the tone a bee in your bonnet you got all the tea in china i got zero feelings on it give or take a plus or minus (sonnet) needy dog craving some affection but all it gets is a little vivisection nobody’s home nah, we’ll never find ‘em here’s a young band i think i’m gonna sign ‘em

throw on that old song its unchanged melody could calm you just like me throw in some dancing the familiar rhythm clears up that schism but he refuses, making excuses you let your hair down kick off your heels now boxing the moonlight till the sunrise taps you out your hips snake in rhythm bare feet in precision a silhouette in constant motion spinning a web to get his attention & he refuses making excuses he won’t get down no no no no no no i can’t move to this song i always move it wrong i should be gone i should be running along no, i got work in the morning think i ate something with poison i’m hearing voices i chipped my front tooth i am telling the truth i’m not makin’ excuses i know it’s alarming i think i have come down with something these are not ruses i’m not telling lies i might die i’m not making excuses you’ve got no time to mend a garden of lemons that he planted in his kisses when he thought you weren’t paying attention he’s drinking milk so sour getting boring by the hour a silhouette in constant motion spinning a web of tired affection go in with movement a stiff stiletto will move repetto it’s so fleeting bears repeating i think you’re making it up i can’t move to this song i always move it wrong i should be gone i should be running along no, i got work in the morning think i ate something with poison i’m hearing voices i chipped my front tooth i am telling the truth i’m not makin’ excuses i know it’s alarming i think i have come down with something these are not ruses i’m not telling lies i might die i’m not making excuses

Hammer Drop 04:21
when the hammer drops when the hammer drops will you break down will you break like glass oh the push & shove of falling in & out of love allonge on freeways the ballet of heartbreak will you stand your ground when you’re knocked back down even when they throw you into the fires of hell what do you do when all of your dreams come true well for one you can wake up yeah you can come to the music was slept on the drugs were stepped on too so what do we do we let the hammer drop let the hammer drop let the hammer drop when the hammer drops when the hammer drops will you break down will you break like glass when the hammer drops will you break down will you break like glass oh the art of war of drawing lines across the floor allonge on freeways the ballet of heartbreak will you stand your ground when you’re knocked back down even when they throw you into the fires of hell get a taste of affection feels like perfection but you know it ain’t true oh it ain’t true so what’s there to do now that we’ve come down we can’t stop no we can’t stop let the hammer drop let the hammer drop let the hammer drop will you feel ok? will you feel ok? when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops when the hammer drops

great light, little heat all night, falling falling all night it's all right darling soft left, hard right we've gone the wrong way all night & the lights go up & you stay in your seat because you've fallen asleep but it's all right yeah the lights go up & you stay in your seat because you've fallen asleep yeah it's all right

No Floor 01:44
oh no there is no ceiling there is no floor so low you couldn’t get much you couldn’t get much anymore? there is no window there is no door there is no ceiling there is no floor all night there was one light because you can’t be living in the dark it couldn’t get much worse but there is no floor oh no there is no heaven there is no home & all alone i could’ve died in your arms tonight & let go there is heaven there is no home there is no ceiling there is no floor all night there was one light because you can’t be living in the dark it couldn’t get much worse but there is no floor

you fed me half a lie i chewed it to the rind my mind unwinding a butterfly in the spine the limelight burns my eyes before it used to hold me like a doe-eyed baby i dream of narrow graves sleeping off malaise of waiting for something bigger something better something stranger something other than this whole life of mine allow for action the light refraction remains constant the change, we lost it we lost it we lost it we lost it oh i see the writing on the wall it’s moving nothing inside me at all inside me there’s hardly any magic nothing’s moving can’t let it stop me now won’t let it tear me down allow for action give in, attraction we still got the movement but the magic we’ll lose it sit out the way, boy get out the way it’s feeling all wrong you got nothing to say we put out the ember we put it away can’t hardly remember what it used to say we lost it we lost it we lost it we lost it we lost it we lost it we lost it

don’t go in the water it’s moving slow but always deeper the way you go get off my cloud baby blue you’re falling down now i feel you you said there’s hell to pay in frog town tonight over some beef in little Tokyo i see the madness brimming in your eyes a child who’s never been told no oh ain’t no depression no pink cloud compression turn the key again in the hole your wet brain away you go get off my cloud baby blue you’re falling down now i feel you you tried to cast a wicked spell over me under the moon in little Tokyo i see the sadness brimming in your lies a child who’s never been told no oh ain’t no depression no pink cloud compression

all you really in want in life is a crazy love the kind of love that rewinds you & reminds you of how it was all you really want in life is a crazy love the kind of love ya never thought ya’d get another chance at chasing the kind of stupid love that makes an old heart young again it drives you up the wall makes you wanna pull your hair out you’re dreaming your body is drifting a satellite that is lost you wanna raze the building of empty rooms you’re always filling with your heart as a hearth there’s no warmth in return & are you getting sick of searching for the source of what is burning all the embers you remember would dance behind your eyes & all you really in want in life is a crazy love the kind of love that rewinds you & reminds you of how it was all you really want in life is a crazy love the kind of love ya never thought ya’d get another chance at chasing the kind of stupid love that makes an old heart young again you amble thru the motions sleepwalk into the ocean a cool breeze will come along & wash away the storm are you getting sick & bitter a grifter always stealing any light that you can find to guide you thru the night & all you really in want in life is a crazy love the kind of love that rewinds you & reminds you of how it was all you really want in life is a crazy love the kind of love ya never thought ya’d get another chance at chasing the kind of stupid love that makes an old heart young again & all you really want in life & all you really want tonight & all you really want in life is a crazy love

Out Of Time 04:20
out of time out of time you’re out of time you’re out of time you’re out of time out of time you’re out of time out of time you’re out of time you’re out of time you’re out of time out of time immolation when you sing with your heart out with your heart on your sleave then you think you can walk out to be locked out believe & you speak with your tongue tied & your thoughts hide from sleep no light no meaning no sense of ever being free you want innovation want a new sensation want me to mention the dimension of a classic array with a shot of redemption & the weight is coming down & the beast is on your heals & you feel the heat once more but it’s just a closing door & the wait is coming down & the beast is on your heals & you feel the heat once more but it’s just closing door you’re out of time
