Blood spilt on the cornerstone
You built a castle with a noble throne
A concierge with a mandolin
Play a sweet song let the games begin
Blood flows from the sacred font
You're so superior and nonchalant
You take a stroll on the solemn turf
They don't miss you now, for what it's worth
Lockstep like a fierce brigade
Trample over every promise made
Bloodlines blood blood lines
Blood flows from the tap at home
Can't shake the feeling that you're not alone
The body's small, but the soul is vast
Destroy the future and erase the past
Blood spilt and washed away
A flash flood that appeared one day
A raging river that will never relent
The form is broken and the frame is bent
Lockstep like a fierce brigade
Trample over every promise made
Bloodlines blood blood lines

On the Ropes

Well they said it was a match up for the ages
The hype and the suspense was so contagious
But somehow in the ring you lost sight of everything
Now you're on the ropes
She's about to throw
The knockout blow
It's the same old song, there's always someone cheating
The archetype that never stops repeating
You're blinded by the love, she's lacing up the gloves
Now you're on the ropes
She's about to throw
The knockout blow
When you stepped into the ring you were equals
But if you didn't stick around to see the sequel
I bet you didn't know that she could hit so low
Now you're on the ropes
She's about to throw
The knockout blow

Dusk to Dawn

Fugitives and exiles
Shelter in the storm
Looking for a way out
Trying to keep warm
Back here at the station
I don't even know she's gone
I'm just checking boxes
Writing numbers on a form
Where it's nice and warm
From dusk to dawn
Maybe there's a reason
She vanished in a rush
A whisper like hot ashes
In the dry and brittle brush
The fire spread so quickly
There was fire all along
The valleys and the hilltops
Can you see what's going on
What's going on
From dusk to dawn
And as the daylight fades
The sky caves in like a ball of flames
Tall shadows tilt and break
And the ashes fall
Like gentle rain
Fugitives and exiles
Shelter in the storm
Looking for a way out
Trying to keep warm
Maybe I should run away
To the fields of green and gold
To somewhere I belong
To someone I can hold
Like I've been paroled
Because it's been so long
From dusk to dawn

Fade Away

Here they come
Checked-out and reckless
With a case of Pabst and a 5th of Jack
For breakfast
Big ideas
Like flying solo
Spending time with all the people
Lost and let go
I can feel them closing in on me
Those ghosts of yesterday
Close the door, turn the lights out
Fade away
Stuck in time
Stuck in traffic
I'm gonna fade into
That phantom demographic
But I'm all right
You can call off the rescue
It doesn't matter now
We're doing fine without you
I can feel them closing in on me
Those ghosts of yesterday
Close the door, turn the lights out
Fade away
Always cause up in the undertow
Never saw the bottom way below
Way below the waves
Buried in the dust of the days
I can feel them closing in on me
Those ghosts of yesterday
Close the door, turn the lights out
Fade away

Living on Mars

Well I gave my deposition
To the Mazerati man
Broke down in San Ysidro
In a mangled cargo van
Sent a message to my brother
Said the money's almost gone
Gonna get my guitar
Set my sights on a fixed star
Never gonna know I'm gone
Hey, hey, hey
Hey hey hey hey
Living on Mars
We've all seen this
Zombie apocalypse in the streets
Some kind of
Pharmaceutical conspiracy
Gonna trade this gray-brown air
For a sky of red
Get my O2 N2 levels just right
And be sleeping on a laser bed
Hey, hey, hey
Hey hey hey hey
Living on Mars
Well I gave my deposition
To the Mazerati man
Sent a message to my brother
Said there's been a change of plans
Hey, hey, hey
Hey hey hey hey
Living on Mars
