Strangers Once Again

sunshine is on the way and it makes me really sad
I don’t want to see the light of day sunshine is on the way and it’s lookin’ pretty bad
I don’t want to see the light of day

and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
no I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about

sunshine is on the way and I’m hiding from it all
I’m dreaming of a world that’s cold and gray
sunshine is on the way and it makes me feel so small
I’m dreaming of a world that’s cold and gray

and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
no I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
no I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about

and I haven’t got a clue
(no I haven’t got a clue)
I haven’t got a clue
(no I haven’t got a clue)
I haven’t got a clue of what to do

sunshine is on the way and it’s burning in my eye
I don’t want to see the light of day
sunshine is on the way like a fire from the sky
I don’t want to see the light of day

and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
no I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
no I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
no I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about
and I don’t know what it’s like or what it’s about

Sunshine Is On The Way

The phantom floats
I'm like a child he's my balloon
He's always there
Saliva on my neck
I should not look
That's how he gets inside your head
I try my best
But as soon as I forget

It's icy cold
It's a feeling that I like
I'm not aware of problems in my life
And I can't breathe
But it's okay it's all the same
It's turned to sludge
The blood that's in my veins

I'm very pleased
I'm gone and I can't complain
There's just one thing
Can't understand or start to explain
Well I have won
And all the things I want are mine
But I've become
A loser in my mind

Phantom

To dance with a lady who comes in a box
Signed and delivered to a house on a hill
Where nobody lives
But you have been waiting for her
And the packaging opens with ease
She looks like a lovely disease
And her stitches are sewn with such delicate threads
She seems so alive in the way that she's dead

She takes your heart by surprise
And she suddenly opens her eyes
She jumps from her stand
As she snatches your hand
Chilling your blood till you're as lifeless as her
It's the waltz
Cadavera's waltz
It's the waltz
Cadavera's waltz

Shrink-wrapped and put on display
Your pupils are gone and your cheeks have turned gray
You're a nightmare for all who come near
But phantoms have nothing to fear
Plastic to plastic your bodies entwine
You leave your old psyche behind
You're a killer whose noose has been tied
And the victim your unblushing bride

She takes your heart by surprise
And she suddenly opens her eyes
She jumps from her stand
As she snatches your hand
Chilling your blood till you're as lifeless as her
It's the waltz
Cadavera's waltz
It's the waltz
Cadavera's waltz

Oh the deeds have been done in the dark
Oh the deeds have been done in the dark my brothers
The deeds have been done in the dark
The deeds have been done in the dark my brothers

Cadavera's Waltz

What happened to real romance
Indie film vibe romance
Philosophy getting the best of us
What happened to feeling right
Believing in choices made
Scrutiny getting the best of us
What happened to real romance
Face-to-face romance
Loneliness getting the best of us

I'm spending my days
I'm spending my luck
I'm spending my youth
I'm spending too much
I'm losing my way
And I'm losing touch

What happened to being who you are
What happened to feeling what you feel
Psychology getting the best of us
What happened to saying what you think
What happened to doing what you want
Society getting the best of us

What happened to real romance
Laughing like fools romance
Differences getting the best of us
What happened to keeping trust
Taking the risk for us
Cowardice getting the best of us
What happened to real romance
Don't even think romance
Anxieties getting the best of us

I'm spending my days
I'm spending my luck
I'm spending my youth
I'm spending too much
I'm losing my way
And I'm losing touch

What happened to being who you are
What happened to feeling what you feel
Psychology getting the best of us
What happened to saying what you think
What happened to doing what you want
Society getting the best of us

Real Romance

If I were a used up dusty old rag
I'd throw it away in a paper bag
A frayed piece of cloth
Stained and torn apart
No dirge or lamentation for this shag
Every fiber soaked with sweat
The drops of aggregate regret
The stench is in the stitch
And I would throw it in a ditch
This fabric made of holes
And unpaid debt

No thread that has escaped abuse
No square inch of any use
In this devil's handkerchief
No doubt it would unravel if
You somehow tried to use it as a noose

But if maybe in the sun it dried
And met another face that cried
A tear without a shoulder
Or a confidant beholder
Crusted stiffness could be vivified

If I were a used up dusty old rag
I'd throw it away in a paper bag
A frayed piece of cloth
Stained and torn apart
No dirge or lamentation for this shag

If I Were a Rag

I took a deep breath
Listened to the old bray
Of my heart
I am, I am, I am
I am an offering
Burning on a stake
And the beating drums of the ones
Who make me yours to take
Are incessant
I am a madman
Running through the halls
Checking every knob I come across

Flipping every switch they made for us
Such a satisfying touch to flush the pus
And for every little itch I get
I'll peel back with my bare hands

The skin is sore and the body aches
I'm brittle and I'm made of glass
To the words I'm holding fast

Flipping every switch they made for us
Such a satisfying touch to flush the pus
And for every little itch I get
I'll peel back with my bare hands

Flipping every switch they made for us
Such a satisfying touch to flush the pus
And for every little itch I get
I'll peel back with my bare hands

Flipping every switch they made for us
Such a satisfying touch to flush the pus
And for every little itch I get
I'll peel back with my bare hands

I Am

What do I do
When my mind is all white
And my heart is all black
And they're fighting
I try not to
Be somebody else
Backseat personality
A big responsibility

To be in charge of someone else's soul
It's hard enough to take care of your own

We're drifting apart
And you have no clue
You think that we're so close
But we're so far
We're so far apart

Don't you ignore
The struggles and the troubles
We're so thin
When we hide away the pain
I've never felt like this before
Can you imagine
Saying that at twenty-six
Saying that at forty-six

And mop away the blood so so clean
It's okay if you don't know what I mean

We're drifting apart
And you have no clue
You think that we're so close
But we're so far
We're so far apart

We're drifting apart
And you have no clue
You think that we're so close
But we're so far apart

Apart

If I let you in here
You've got to promise to behave
Someone's left a mess
And I haven't had a chance
To put away the papers, papers
Normal as I seem
I don't even know
What the hell that means
Late is only later
Than the time on which we agreed

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind if you bury me alive
As long as you stay here
As long as you stay here
As long as you stay
And give me more of that schoolyard love

Come into my bedroom
You can do your homework at my desk
But please don't touch the holes in the walls
From taking out the staples, staples
I've got a lot of books
But it's hard for me to finish them to the end
I'm in love with the beginnings
It's a flaw that I'm working to mend

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind if you bury me alive
As long as you stay here
As long as you stay here
As long as you stay
And give me more of that schoolyard love

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind if you bury me alive
As long as you stay here
As long as you stay here
As long as you stay
And give me more of that schoolyard love

Schoolyard Love

Something something's always keeping me down
I can't fight it 'cause I'm feeling around
For the message in the bottle cracked open
I can't find what I'm looking for
So I'm sending all my weathered soldiers down to the shore

Chasing my tail
Cameras on my trail
Rumors on my grave
Cracked but I won't cave
As long as someone pulls me out my zone
There's someone whom I love that I don't know
And you're chronically amused
And addicted to self-abuse
The only one who's watching is you

If you believe it well then it's true
If you think it well then it's true
So many reals and so many rights
No kidding that it's hard to choose
But the fact is that I'm not okay without choosing you

Chasing my tail
Cameras on my trail
Rumors on my grave
Cracked but I won't cave
As long as someone pulls me out my zone
There's someone whom I love that I don't know
And you're chronically amused
And addicted to self-abuse
The only one who's watching is you

And you're chronically amused
And addicted to self-abuse
The only one who's watching is you

Chronica

I'm gonna take a sip
Of this sandy sentimental
Sound of second soft serve dip
And I chip in what I can afford
Before anyone figures it out
I'm on chicken shrooms
I'm gonna take a nap
There's nothing here
But there's so much to pack
It's just a feline destination
And the people in the way
Listen to the message

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Oh look the atmosphere
It's just a little clear
It's frickin' nervous but
It's just the telephonic
So pass a little chronic
Gin into the tonic
Relax you'll never find it
But now it's electronic
Go home (go home)
It's not that funny you know
It's like a wonder that you made it so far
And the deli man can
Yes the deli man can
The deli man delivers
'Cause the deli man understands

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

So you think you want another scoop
Of chocolate frosted minted cherry screamin' dragon
You wanna taste that gelatin droop
I know it's killing me now
But everybody's dying somehow
It's just a feeling
Oh it's just a feeling
It's just a feeling
But it feels so real and I just can't
I just can't explain
How feathers fall apart in the rain

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double
Everybody's facing trouble
Get it got it unhooked on the double

Everybody's facing trouble

Everybody's Facing Trouble

You came running to me when I could not find
Just some peace of mind is all I want
Saving all of your breath for someone important
Suffocating yourself, well good for you

Do you need that too
That's the one I like
'Cause it seems like you don't even want it
Can I please get mine
Can I please get mine

I am losing control of the messengers
They just do what they want, so I give up
I can tie up their shoes and they trip and fall
I can laugh like a kid, 'cause it's their fault

Do you need that too
That's the one I like
'Cause it seems like you don't even want it
Can I please get mine
Can I please get mine

Take me out to the beach and I'll be just fine
Tell me all that you see out on the pier
You're my animal friend and I care for you
I can hold all the treats and give you none

Do you need that too
That's the one I like
'Cause it seems like you don't even want it
Can I please get mine
Can I please get mine

Lyrics:

Willy the cockroach had all of his legs
But couldn't get up to get out of his bed
His head wasn't clear and his eyes were all red
He'd burned the last of his leaves when I said

Willy, willy, oh talk to me willy
The [G]grass is all green and the hills are all hilly
I know you can't walk 'cause your lungs are all chilly
I'll bring you the flowers that make you feel silly
Oh Willy

Willy the cockroach now make no mistake
Couldn't stand up or walk for Pete's sake
Not until he had a sweet leaf to take
Oh Willy the cockroach now that's no mistake

Willy, willy, oh talk to me willy
The grass is all green and the hills are all hilly
I know you can't walk 'cause your lungs are all chilly
I'll bring you the flowers that make you feel silly
Oh willy

So now that I brought him a hint of outside
I light up a torch and say, "Willy don't hide"
He takes it all in and looks me in the eye
"I'm Willy the cockroach I'll burn 'till I die!"

Willy, willy, oh talk to me willy
The grass is all green and the hills are all hilly
Now you can walk 'cause your lungs are not chilly
I'll bring you the flowers that make you feel silly
Oh willy
