Thank you for being here, nothing to fear
It’s just the end of the road, at least you’re not alone
Party’s just beginning when it’s time to go
It’s getting kinda cold, guess you should know
We’re here the rest of the week, the storm is rolling in
And now it’s only getting colder and the crowd that’s holding flowers goes
“Oooo, ahhh, that’s what I call a real light show”
They go “Oooo, ahhh, play me a funeral march”
We’re the skeleton crew
Who do you think you are?
And we dance, rattle, rattle bones you buried in the backyard
We’re the skeleton crew
Who do you think you are?
And we dance, rattle, rattle bones you buried in the backyard
I’m never out of breath, that’s pretty nice,
It’s just the roll of the dice, and then eventually,
Rhythm kickin’ so hard your heart explodes,
So give it all you’ve got, it’s gonna pop,
There is a time and a spot, a day for you to rot,
I’d say your guess is good as mine so everybody fall in line and sing
“Oooo, ahhh, that’s what I call a real light show”
They go “Oooo, ahhh, play me a funeral march”
We’re the skeleton crew
Who do you think you are?
And we dance, rattle, rattle bones you buried in the backyard
We’re the skeleton crew
Who do you think you are?
And we dance, rattle, rattle bones you buried in the backyard

I Love Audio

Well, I Guess it’s time I had a talk
With myself and anyone who likes to unlock
All of the cogs and gears and lights and levers
Patterns in your syllables continuing forever
Chorus verse repeat, perfectly in sync and neat
All I need is
A, e, i, o, u, y, oh my
A, e, i, o, u, and y
On a spectrum my whole life to write this song at thirty five
Overwhelmed by extra time, but when it all aligns
Then I feel at home
I love audio
There’s a part of me who holds the worry
That you think I’m mentioning this for sympathy
Because I know I’ve got it pretty good I’m honestly admitting
But it’s who I am and I’m a product of my feelings
Feelings that I know from putting on a show for you
All I need is
A, e, i, o, u, y, oh my
A, e, i, o, u, and y
On a spectrum my whole life to write this song at thirty five
Overwhelmed by extra time, but when it all aligns
Then I feel at home
I love audio
Who’s the one you’re singing this to?
Someone else or right back at you?
Here’s the truth
On a spectrum my whole life to write this song at thirty five
Overwhelmed by extra time, but when it all aligns
Then I feel at home
I love audio

Let the digital chime wake you up and shock you to show your skeleton
Morning noon or midnight, I’m the love child of the sun and everyone
Hating fun ‘cause you’re boring and miserable
Critical from the ink hidden under your nails
I’m not the only one
Sick to death of fame
Sing my siren song
Because I’m here to entertain
I’m not the only one
Sick to death of fame
Sing my siren song
Because I’m here to entertain
Caught a glimpse of the end, early in the show you foreshadow everything
Hang a gun over there, hit all your marks on the way, “it’s pulp” you say
Hating fun ‘cause you’re boring and miserable
Critical from the ink hidden under your nails
I’m not the only one
Sick to death of fame
Sing my siren song
Because I’m here to entertain
I’m not the only one
Sick to death of fame
Sing my siren song
Because I’m here to entertain

The Firefly Ball
03:20

Well, I’m not alone if I can see my shadow
To copy every move, marionette my bad jokes
Here is my proof: I couldn’t speak
Trying to breath, halfway asleep
Terror of the night, aren’t we a team?
Caught in a bad dream
I saw a little spark lighting behind your skull
This is the firefly ball
I saw a little spark lighting behind your skull
This is the firefly ball
Just hear me out, I’m gonna spout something stupid
Writing a song about me, then altering what you did
Show me your bark, worse than your bite
Trying to see, pass me the light
Terror of the night, aren’t we a team?
Caught in a bad dream
I saw a little spark lighting behind your skull
This is the firefly ball
I saw a little spark lighting behind your skull
This is the firefly ball
You’re a part of me, I know
And I’m just a part of you, I know
Now we’re both letting go
I saw a little spark lighting behind your skull
This is the firefly ball
I saw a little spark lighting behind your skull
This is the firefly ball

Typical Boy
03:34
|
|

Burned at the stake before I even understood
What’s under the hood when the lights are flickering like they should
Connect the dots, a constellation of the heart
Just not what you thought, blood and guts and veins and physical parts
So, I wanna ride all the waves
Well, Could you blame me anyway?
Now, I’ve got my pick of the flags
I guess I’m not a typical boy
I wanna ride all the waves.
Well, could you blame me anyway?
Now, I’ve got my pick of the flags
I guess I’m not a typical boy
Bathed in the mood but is it bad or is that good?
Doubt either is true, make me purple, not in pink and not blue
Punch in your marks, be careful not to answer twice
The wrong and the right put another future lover on ice
So, I wanna ride all the waves
Well, Could you blame me anyway?
Now, I’ve got my pick of the flags
I guess I’m not a typical boy
I wanna ride all the waves.
Well, could you blame me anyway?
Now, I’ve got my pick of the flags
I guess I’m not a typical boy

All the love of an architect
In the windows breaking, pillars crumbling, tiles cracked
That’s too bad, but it’s your problem
Guess you should have thought before you went and took it all on
Here’s a set of knives to hold my tongue
When I say “I never liked anyone”
A set of knives to hold my tongue
When I say “I never liked anyone”
Make me laugh, make me cry with joy,
Write an epic poem and hit the beats be Helen of Troy
Sign me up to your mailing list
It’s a ticket to the bitter end I’d rather not miss
Here’s a set of knives to hold my tongue
When I say “I never liked anyone”
A set of knives to hold my tongue
When I say “I never liked anyone”

I will calculate the mood, dress accordingly
Let the cartoon wildlife fawn all over me
Is it really all that hard to just
Say something nice to someone you like?
Is it really all that hard to just
Open those jaws and take a big bite?
Gimme, gimme, gimme everything
Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme everything
This is a robbery
They said “it cannot go wrong, it cannot go wrong”
I always thought
Saving up for love was practical, until it was gone
This is a robbery
They said “it cannot go wrong, it cannot go wrong”
I always thought
Saving up for love was practical, until it was gone
I’m adapting to the night with a hunter’s pelt
Pulled it over half my face, to see how it felt,
Is it really all that hard to just
Lay out your traps, see what they attract?
Is it really all that hard to just
Pick out two cards and see if they match?
Gimme, gimme, gimme everything
Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme everything
This is a robbery
They said “it cannot go wrong, it cannot go wrong”
I always thought
Saving up for love was practical, until it was gone
This is a robbery
They said “it cannot go wrong, it cannot go wrong”
I always thought
Saving up for love was practical, until it was gone

One Word Joke
03:54
|
|

There goes the edge
Your chance of turning back
Before fade to black
Thankfully it’s all just a joke
Things you say you hate but actually don’t
Falling apart on you
Write this down near the end of your book
Mark the page and then don’t ever look
One word joke from the pit to the peak
Me, me, me, me!
I’ve said a lot
Probably said too much
But between us
Spiders crawling out of the drain
It could make you laugh or feel ashamed
Fortunately, I’m game
Write this down near the end of your book
Mark the page and then don’t ever look
One word joke from the pit to the peak
Me, me, me, me!

Jellyfishes
03:47

When the fire’s at your back and your life is just a flash
You’d do anything to drown just to make it last
Better to take on the hand you’re dealt
You’ll never know how the other felt
When you can’t see through the window
All the water filling your home,
And you can’t breathe ‘cause it’s so cold
Jellyfishes with an orange glow
When you can’t see through the window
All the water filling your home,
And you can’t breathe ‘cause it’s so cold
Jellyfishes with an orange glow
Guess I’m not really a bee, just a mindless thing that stings
Floating through the current touching everything I can
Change in the face of the ones you love
I’m not alone in the ocean ‘cause
When you can’t see through the window
All the water filling your home,
And you can’t breathe ‘cause it’s so cold
Jellyfishes with an orange glow
When you can’t see through the window
All the water filling your home,
And you can’t breathe ‘cause it’s so cold
Jellyfishes with an orange glow
So watch out
So watch out
So watch out
We all learn how

Midnight Call
03:41
|
|

I’m gonna be here whispering along
To all the notes that make up your song
I’m listening in to catch the groove
The frequency of your carnivore mood
Midnight call, an animal
A dial tone humming on in the dark
Midnight call, an animal
With messages for the mark
I get a little tied up and lost in the neon drone
Midnight call, an animal
A wolf so I’m not alone
So what is it like to catch your food?
I wanna know what it is about you
In every book I know the end
You feign a good friend and I end up dead
Midnight call, an animal
A dial tone humming on in the dark
Midnight call, an animal
With messages for the mark
I get a little tied up and lost in the neon drone
Midnight call, an animal
A wolf so I’m not alone
I’m not the only one who loves your bloody teeth
I carve my meat, I get good sleep
I’m not like you but I guess this whole thing never really was about me
Midnight call, an animal
A dial tone humming on in the dark
Midnight call, an animal
With messages for the mark
I get a little tied up and lost in the neon drone
Midnight call, an animal
A wolf so I’m not alone

Blood Bank
03:41

From the start I was locked up like an error
In the snow with my glitched out ransomware
Alt control delete, put me on repeat
Begging for an update
Out of phase with the guitar and the keys
Only one side is real, the other’s me
Fake until you’re made, crazy dumb and brave
Swinging from the rafters
Better invest, better invest
Blood is the only thing that makes me real so let’s make a deal
All of this blood is the only thing that makes me real, so let’s make a deal
Copper and iron,
Oh! You complete me!
Platelets and wire
Oh! What a sweet little perfect spark!
At the heart I’m a diamond in the rough
Both are red when they bleed but mine’s a bluff
High performance oil, simmer to a boil
Now we’re off and running
Sugarcane from the earth inside a tube
Let’s a kid from nowhere go find a groove
Nodding to the track, sipping like a bat
Swinging for the fences
Better invest, better invest
Blood is the only thing that makes me real so let’s make a deal
All of this blood is the only thing that makes me real, so let’s make a deal
Copper and iron,
Oh! You complete me!
Platelets and wire
Oh! What a sweet little perfect spark!
