There’s no telling what will happen next You haven’t seen anything yet Won’t stop ‘til you’re screaming in your sleep For me But you keep coming back You want the release and the attack Your body is trembling over and over again Coming back from the other side Exorcise the demons in your mind Watch the shadows crawling on the wall Slow down I’ll put the words inside your mouth Slow down I can’t talk to you anymore Feel me standing at your door I can’t talk to you anymore Hear my footsteps dragging on the floor I can keep you on your toes A ghost inside your microphone I’ll do anything that you want me to I’ll do anything that you want me to do I will haunt your every move A ghost is chasing after you I’ll do anything that you want me to I’ll do anything that you want me to do

There seems to be A darkness underneath So I see Something you’re not telling me Braced to fall Pinned against a wall Breathing fast With your fingers crossed behind your back I’d start over And wouldn’t change a thing All I want is all you’ve got Won’t work on me Won’t work on me Won’t work on me Let’s go over exactly what you need A heavy sigh Your hands between your thighs A crooked smile Says you do this all the time

Shake off your sex appeal Skin tight you wear it well Perfected every stare But you never look at me You’ve got such mass appeal Good fit it suits you well Flush red and I can tell You’ve drank enough for me Who are you thinking of? My god, I’m hoping I am the one But you never look at me Whatever you’ve done before Just keep me in the dark Whatever you’ve got in store Just keep me in the dark Whatever can turn you on Just keep me in the dark Whenever you’ve got it all Just keep me in the dark When you’re smiling It means you’re hiding something And when you’re laughing I know you’re laughing at me Don’t make me beg and steal What you do, you do so well You’re such a snake when you’re threatened You use your tongue and your body as a weapon So many times I’ve blinked and missed it I’ve got a life, but I don’t have to live it I wish that I could cast a spell I’d look at you but I’d be seeing someone else All your dancing Is always such a tease And all your talking It comes so easily

Hiding behind the walls from you Cameras can see it all Their eyes are all on us Pushing the below on you From a world we have never known They close their eyes on us Every other word is a lie Only honest half the time I’ve tried to see both sides Every other sound is a sigh See it all in black and white I’ve tried The urge, the sound It’s swelling up and it falls back down The weight is all on us This isn’t right, this isn’t wrong This is the only way We all recognize our place

Scam Artist 02:44
I’m so close to falling And I can’t make sense of your confidence I know that look in your eye What you say and mean Are two different things I’m so close to falling in You mess with me so carelessly No matter how hard I try You’ll always win You’re gonna suck me in You can’t act so offended If I call you out Your latest scam has ended I’m gonna bring you down

Fools 03:39
Has there ever been a worse time? To shut down and cut ties Calling off all negotiations Oh we are Stretching out the divide You’re torn apart from the inside Giving in to the complications Oh we are You’ve been fooling everyone You’re fooling with yourself And all the fools are gonna fall for it Feel the rift drawing near Spoon fed what you want to hear You won’t change for the right conditions You can’t survive without the opposition Why are we fighting ourselves? We should be fighting for the same side You take the path of the most resistance You will complain to anyone who listens You’ve been fooling everyone You’re fooling with yourself And all the fools are gonna fall for it You’ve been sticking to your guns You’re sticking to yourself And all the fools are gonna fall for it Why won’t you let me in the conversation? Why won’t you let me hear the words inside your mouth? Why won’t you let me in the conversation? You’ll never hear me when you’re talking to yourself

Road Warrior 03:56
Your friends are on the back porch talking about a genocide I haven’t got such a political mind Inside we’re touching lips I don’t care about their politics All talk, such a waste of a night If you’re looking for a place to go I hate to sleep alone Leave your clothes on for me Give me some mystery Will you tell me if you’ve had enough? You’re just another girl I told I’d keep in touch Your friends are in the basement looking for an empty room You’re gonna find me in a particular mood I am not known for self-restraint What my body wants it takes And I want you Give me something to see You know I hate the mystery Will you tell me if you’ve had enough? You’re just another girl I told I’d keep in touch I guess it didn’t mean that much I’m not a bad guy If you can keep me honest You’re just another girl I know can mess around I’ll call you when I’m back in town I’m not a bad guy I’m mostly harmless Come on, push me down the road Oh you make me feel so old I’m not a bad guy Give me some place to go I hate to sleep alone You know I know what you’re thinking of Will you tell me if you’ve had enough?

Do you wanna hide away in a secret spot? Drink from a bottle of vodka in the closet We’ll lock the door, turn off the light Just you tell me if you want to I wanna be fun to be around We can get messed up on some pills I found All the worst mistakes make all the best stories You know I’ve had enough but I wanted more Gonna quit my job just to go on tour In a hotel lot we’ll sleep outside For a continental breakfast But I don’t stand a chance in this cruel world If you think it’s bad now, it’s only gonna get worse Tell me how my night will always end I wanted to black out with some Velcro friends We could slow it down, and stay inside But no one ever wants to I know that all these plans come easily It’s the follow-through that always gets me Never get all that I want But I didn’t think I’d settle for awful I’m waiting for a chance to start again I’m waiting for something to happen
9.
We turned a light off in the sky We’ve frozen all the oceans We stepped across a line We’re going through the motions I liked the way we were We couldn’t turn back time With all the spells & potions We blackened out the sun Melted deserts into glass It’s cut and dry Never meant to last Now we’re going through the motions We’re tearing down the sky All the spells and all the potions Couldn’t change our minds You can stay where you are And say you’re finally catching on You can say what you want And tell us that we’ve got it all wrong You can stay where you are And say you’re finally catching on All this time We never knew we got it all wrong I liked the way we were
10.
There is a fatal attraction We feel it taking a toll This force is not in our control There is another addiction We are not getting enough The world’s too small for the both of us What does it take to pull you out of me? A – T – T – R – A – C – T You get off on the destruction You want to see the world end A love so dense it sucks us in What does it take to rip you out of me? A – T – T – R – A – C – T What does it take to make you sick of me? Opposites attracting A – T – T – R – A – C – T I can’t escape the pull of your gravity Pulling backwards always takes so long Pulling backwards always takes so long Pushed together by a force so strong You can feel the attraction

about

Austin & I began writing this record in our basement in the winter of 2010. We had just moved to Logan Square in Chicago and were unemployed and freezing. It was a bleak period.

Things have gotten better since then. - Alex 7/9/13
