Tracks



01. Eat You Alive

I've got a feeling, got to
Take this damn world apart
Burn through
Every single night

God-speeding bullet, got to
Become a brand new star
Screaming
Head straight for the light

Eat you alive
Ripped right from the hands of heaven
Better keep on running
Eat you alive
I'll eat you alive

Go numb in dumb devotion
And though I always knew
Lonely
Girls they don't survive
I'll keep my head exploding
And keep on loving you
Feed me
I'm your parasite

Eat you alive
Ripped right from the hands of heaven
Better keep on running
Eat you alive
I'll eat you alive
Eat you alive
I'll eat you alive

Ah
Get ready
There was a time
I was up in it and
I was all ready to go
Was feeling divine
'Til I was bitten
Get on the ride for the new show
Was taking me high
Taking me low
But I'll take it over
And so
I'm diggin' a ditch
Where I can put it
Getting it deeper than hell in a hole

There was a time
I was all ready to go
It was divine
Gotta get on with the show
Don't ever say die
Get set ready go
Listen to what
I bestow
There ain't a city
Standing me sitting
Getting me going
The stronger my hold

Eat you alive
Ripped right from the hands of heaven
Leaving goodbyes
To find their way
'Cause no one's standing
Always keep you running
Eat you alive
I'll eat you alive
Eat you alive
I'll eat you alive

02. Get Down

I'm set for detonation
One touch you're blown away
Why suffer from starvation
I'll make you have to stay

All along
Yeah
All along you want it too
Yeah
Don't you, baby
Take it all
Yeah
Take it all and take it down
Get down

I taste your salivation
My baby bird of prey
I'll give you aviation
Inject my DNA

All along
Yeah
All along you want it too
Don't you, baby
Take it all
Yeah
Take it all and take it down
Yeah

Get down
Yeah
Get down
Yeah
Get going
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

All along
All along you want it too
Yeah
Don't you, baby
Take it all
Yeah
Take it all and take it down
Yeah
Get me going
Get going
Get down
Get down
Get me going
Get going
Get down
Yeah
Get down
And get me going
Get going
So get down
Get down
Get me going
Get going
Get me going
Yeah
Get me going
Yeah
Get me going
Yeah
Get me going
Yeah

03. Rock City

Like you
I've never seen pretty lights
Let's make the most
Rock city night
Can't be forever true
But there're still some
Things
That we can do

In you
I really wanna be tonight
Please let me do
Rock City night
Take what you want from me
'Cause I'm all about
The fantasy

I'll wait for you
Downtown
'Til you come around
Be my secret Lover

Are we alone?
Never can I touch your secrets
Just you and me
Are we alone?

God's cool
He lets me do what I like
You're old enough
Rock City night
Might take your dignity
But you'll never want it
Back from me

Let's make a memory
Of a night when we are
Truly free
There's nothing I can't be
Let me solve your mystery

I'll wait for you
Downtown
'Til you come around
Be my secret Lover

Are we alone?
Never can I touch your secrets
Just you and me
Are we alone?

Are we alone?
Let me breathe in all your secrets
On dirty knees
I'll bring you home

Are we alone?
Never can I touch your secrets
Just you and me
Are we alone?

Are we alone?
Let me breathe in all your secrets
On dirty knees
I'll bring you home

Are we alone?
Never can I touch your secrets
Just you and me
Are we alone?

Are we alone?
Hide behind
Your dirty secrets
Can't you see?
We aren't alone
Hey

04. Hypothetical

Fuck

I've got there hands to hold you
This mouth will chew and swell
Like butterflies inside you
Perfuming what you sell

I know that I'm reaching
That churning, burning heart
I see the sweat is beading
From what I peel apart

Oh, you don't know
What I'm gonna do to you
So hypothetical
So hypothetical

Fuck
Hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical

You've got the hands to be tied
Slip out from skin so cold
I've got the folds to be blind
Let's see what you like most

I cannot break the fever
The pounding of your soul
My little love receiver
You make me lose control

Oh, you don't know
What I'm gonna do to you
So hypothetical
So hypothetical

Fuck
Hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical

Fuck
Hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical

You don't know
What I'm gonna do to you
So hypothetical
You don't know
What I'm gonna do to you
So hypothetical

Fuck

So hypothetical
Fuck
So hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical
Fuck
So hypothetical
Let's fuck
So hypothetical

05. Rainbow

I just wanna be
With you
Every day
Every day you see
Is something new

Come along with me
And do
Anything cause
Nothing's what it seems
To be with you

Baby don't you hide
From me
Your pretty heart
No, I will always find
The love inside

Baby, don't you go
Anywhere
No, not alone
Inside of a dream
We'll make a home

Angel
I would steal a rainbow
Soak up all your sorrows
Anything you borrow
You own

Angel
You're my pot of gold
Dewdrop in the meadow
Prism in a halo
You glow

You are so pristine
My girl
You little pear, you
Watch me like TV
I see you too

Color in the sky
And take
A comet ride
With me day and night
In green and blue

Angel
I would steal a rainbow
Soak up all your sorrows
Anything you borrow
You own

Angel
You're my pot of gold
Dewdrop in the meadow
Prism in a halo
You glow

When I'm on my knees
So down
My broken crown
No more dirty deeds
Turn me around

Angel
I would steal a rainbow
Soak up all your sorrows
Anything you borrow
You own

Angel
You're my pot of gold
Dewdrop in the meadow
Prism in a halo
You glow

Angel
I would steal a rainbow
Angel
Soak up all your sorrows
Angel
I would steal a rainbow
Angel
Soak up all your sorrows

06. Born On My Own

The queen never walks
Now watch her walking
Last soldier lost
Count the fallen

I'm gonna lose you
You're gonna lose me too
We're gonna lose it
All at the end

There won't be anyone
Saving anyone
When kingdoms come
Kingdoms come undone

Gods rise and fall
They're only gods after all
I am in control
Born on my own

Nations rage
Tides are turning
End of the age
Let's get to burning

Judgment day
Judges blown away
Nothing left to owe
When there's no one left to pay

Gods rise and fall
They're only gods after all
I don't need anyone
Born on my own

Break down the walls
That keep us all
Flames in waves
So beautiful

Holding home
Up in my soul
I am in control
Born on my own
Yeah

Break down the walls
That keep us all
Flames in waves
So beautiful

Break down the walls
That keep us all
Flames in waves
So beautiful

Holding home
Up in my soul
I am in control

Break down the walls
That keep us all
Flames in waves
So beautiful

Holding home
Up in my soul
Never alone
Not born on my own

07. Giving Up

I won't give it away
But still you wanna take it all
At the end of the day
Somebody's gonna take a fall

Rise for a revolution
Now it's done
No retraction
Watch 'em make
New rules to break
I'm not slipping away

I'm not giving up
I'm not going away

I'm not looking away
I watch you try to take it all
At the end of the day
A wonder you can sleep at all

Braving the evolution
It's what I call inspiration
Hang 'em high
An eye for an eye
Are you ready to play?

I'm not giving up
I'm not going away
We can't get enough
Slipping into the fray

I'm not giving up
I'm not going away
We don't give a fuck
Slipping into the fray

Raising a new religion
The time is now
Satisfaction
Yesterday, I had my way
Now I've got something to say

I'm not giving up
I'm not going away
We can't get enough
Slipping into the fray

I'm not giving up
I'm not going away
We don't give a fuck
Slipping into the fray

I'm not giving up
We don't give a fuck

08. My Pleasure

To all of the fallen
To all you'll always be
Victims of somebody's heart
Nothing to kings and queens

Justification
For what we never know
Walls come down
And men still drown
In dreams so hard to hold

I made you my treasure
And died for your pleasure
So just for good measure
Get down
And know me from your knees

Never surrender
Never let them take
All I got and all I want
And all I have at stake

Incineration
No god and no king
Listen now
I'll show you how
Set fire to everything

I made you my treasure
And died for your pleasure
So just for good measure
Get down

I made you my treasure
And died for your pleasure
So just for good measure
Get down
And know me from your knees

To all of the fallen
To all you'll always be
Victims of somebody's heart
Nothing to kings and queens

Alienation
From what we called a home
But with this pact
We will attack
And burn the night alone

I made you my treasure
And died for your pleasure
So just for good measure
Get down

I made you my treasure
And died for your pleasure
So just for good measure
Get down
And know me from your knees

09. Happy Times

Sanitized from hurt
I need some
Hypnotizing dirty loves songs
Talking angels in my bed, oh
Tie their hair around my head, so
A disguise in words
I need some

Took a dive and I beat on
The body loves
What it's never gonna become
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Happy times
Where they said they gonna belong

Little prize unheard
I bleed some
Exorcising dirty demons
Biting hands from which they're fed, oh
Eating words all left for dead, so
Bunny, rat I stirred
I bleed some

Took a dive and I beat on
The body loves
What it's never gonna become
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Happy times
Where they said they gonna belong

Took a dive and I beat on
The body loves
What it's never gonna become
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Happy times
Where they said they gonna belong

Took a dive and I beat on
The body loves
What it's never gonna become
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Happy times
Where they said they gonna belong

Took a dive and I beat on
The body loves
What it's never gonna become
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Happy times
Where they said they gonna belong

Took a dive and I beat on
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Took a dive and I beat on
Sadder eyes gonna lean on
Happy times
Where they said they gonna belong

10. Faust

What 'd you say?
About being saved?
'Cause all it took
Was just a taste
I set the hook
And drove the blade
Ready for you
Whenever

Everything is what it seems
So much more
Than what you dreamed
They take you where
Shadows roam
Roaming in the never

Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't
Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't

What I win
I never lose
We all get
What we choose
Ask for me
I'll wait for you
Until we have forever

Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't
Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't
Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't

Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't
Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't
Now I just can't get away
No you don't, no you don't
No you don't, no you don't

11. Silent So Long

I tell you when to speak
To get up from your seat
You're wearing the letter, abettor
See what you've done to me

I know there's nothing left to be
I know there is no use
There is no forever and ever
Can't fix what once was whole

It used to follow me wherever
Like vines that grew
I'd run to hold myself together
Like vines that grew

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Below the strong are weak
What talked has turned to meat
I let it get redder and redder
What tore inside of me

Alone I am my enemy
Alone I see the truth
I know that together or severed
I'll dig out from the hole

It used to follow me wherever
Like vines that grew
I'd run to hold myself together
Like vines that grew

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
Silent so long
After I'm on my own
I illuminate
Silent so long
