Square Zero

There's a guy that I know too well
He hides in his shell without a plan
Out of time in his confort zone
He sits on his throne and commands
The universe is always changing
And keeps on moving continually
And while others see their life unfurl
Our lead character is standing still
He finds solace into seclusion
To keep himself from losing grip
And from the dephts of his delusions
Listen and you can hear him sing:
"I am no one
Going nowhere
Doing nothing in Square Zero
But I need no one
To go nowhere
I am nothing but a hero"
For a while some attempts were made
To flee from the shade but he learned
Unfortunate events that did disappoint
Just pushed him to the point of no return
He runs from social confrontation
To keep his jaded mind at peace
And from the dephts of desperation
Listen and you can hear him sing:
"I am no one
Going nowhere
Doing nothing in Square Zero
But I need no one
To go nowhere
I am nothing but a hero"
The less I care
The happier I am
Yes I am
I make loneliness work for me

Ouija Boy
04:01
|
|

In the shadows is where lies my domain
Away from civilization
A vital need 'cause I had more than my share
Of human interaction
And if one day you ever have the nerve
To knock or ring my doorbell
You would be well advised to never disturb
Because I already am
The world is on fire but that ain't my business
I'm so sick and tired of the human race
They call me the Ouija Boy
Because I'm always out of sight
They call me the Ouija Boy
I never walk into the light
I've got no time for those who might pick a bone
I'm safe in my sanctuary
Don't bother trying to call me on the phone
Please respect my privacy
Don't even try to say my name out loud
Three times in front of the mirror
I won't materialize for a little chat
To me it would be torture
The world is on fire but that ain't my business
No no no
I'm so sick and tired of the human race
Yeah yeah yeah
They call me the Ouija Boy
Because I'm always out of sight
They call me the Ouija Boy
I never walk into the light
I'm always home
No intruders allowed inside
I'm all alone
You're not invited to my life
The ABC's of dialogue with me
Is to go see elsewhere if I am there
And if you seek a unification
I'd rather fall into oblivion

Dark Cloud Nine
03:31
|
|
||
|
As each day passes by
I often wonder why
I keep myself alive
To die more every day
As I fall on my own sword
I cannot change the world
And I can't chase the worms
When they fill my remains
But life goes on
I'm living on a dark cloud nine
Life is a bitch but I'm doing just fine
I'm six feet under but I do it with style
And chill on my dark cloud nine
"I'm over the moon
I'm inside the tomb"
Life gives and then it takes back
There is nowhere to hide
I am living to die
But I'm dying to live
And I'm digging my own grave
I'm squandering my time
But my certain demise
Makes it hard to retrieve
And life goes on
I'm living on a dark cloud nine
Life is a bitch but I'm doing just fine
I'm six feet under but I do it with style
And chill on my little dark cloud nine
Sometimes I only wanna let go and cry
But I choose to not let it enter my mind
Then dream on my dark cloud nine
Although I never did ask to be born
Into a world that I don't understand
I might as well hold on and try
To find the light
I'm living on a dark cloud nine
Life is a bitch but I'm doing just fine
I'm six feet under but I do it with style
And chill on my little dark cloud nine
I'm kinda hopeless but I hang on to life
And pretend I feel like the world is mine
So cheers from my dark cloud nine

Antisocial Animal
03:43
|
|

I am allergic to mostly all people
They pollute the air I breathe
Humans are toxic
They say "love thy neighbor"
I say "impale them on a stick"
Don't come near me
It's nothing personal
Everyone and everybody is the enemy
Antisocial
Antisocial animal
It's unrelated to my supposed lack of communication skills
But being befriended and making connections
Are not high on my bucket list
Don't talk to me
It's nothing personal
Everyone is the nemesis giving me emesis
Antisocial
Antisocial animal
And I don't like you
I keep everyone at bay not to get hurt
I got the words "stay away" printed on my shirt
I must keep a safe distance as a precaution
If I don't have enough space from the population
I might cause total destruction
Antisocial
Antisocial animal
And I don't like you
Antisocial
Antisocial animal
And I don't care about you
There is one final thing
I would like to make clear as this song is ending:
Don't interfere with me

Pride Of Frankenstein
06:47
|
|
||
|
The world we live in is so tragic
The simple act of falling out of line disqualifies
How funny it's always people with no magic
That tell you what to do with yours
But I just pass them by
I won't make no excuses for what I am
A freak of nature I am without a shame
Tolerance is hard to find
When you face ignorance by design
Being myself is not a crime
I am blessed with the pride of Frankenstein
I grew up being told I was different
And I don't think that's something that was meant as a compliment
But even in my darkest moments
When everything seems lost
I never turn my back on what makes me one of a kind
I won't make no excuses for what I am
A social failure worthy of the name
Tolerance is hard to find
When you face ignorance by design
Being myself is not a crime or is it
I am blessed with the pride of Frankenstein
It's no disguise
This is my way of life
And at all times
I let my freak flag fly

Narcissistic Anonymous
04:19

I am mean
I am a complete waste
I am weak
A good-for-nothing at best
And I am insignificant
And I am such a disappointment
But as a lost child always left alone
Being the fifth wheel on the wagon
And always treated as an afterthought
It ends up clouding your judgment
"Love me" says the little boy in my head
"I'm here, I need attention"
But it's a short-term solution for a long-term absence
Call the Narcissistic Anonymous
I'm worthless
Ungrateful and selfish
Meaningless
With nothing good accomplished
And I'm a liar who should remain silent
I don't matter and I'm not legitimate
How can a lost child so self-absorbed
Can grow up without holding grudges
How can someone with a heart of stone
Expect to pick up all the severed pieces
"Love me" says the little boy in my head
"I'm here, I need affection"
But it's a short-term solution for a long-term sadness
Call the Narcissistic Anonymous
Wherever I go
Words they are a reminder
They follow you and never disappear
I'm never the hero
Not in any story
I might as well be one in my own
And write my footnote on my headstone

Love Sick
04:12
|
|

So everyone says love's a beautiful thing
That it is the most wonderful feeling
Or like a movie they all tell you to see
But don't believe the hype
It's not as good as it seems
I always knew love wasn't made for me
But my hormones craved to test this theory
I started longing for a Prince Charming
And caught myself thinking it would make my life complete
I can remember clearly how it played tricks on my mind
To feel the sudden need to find someone to be all mine
I am love sick
My love life is cancelled
I am love sick
It ain't worth the trouble
I'm used to be alone and I'll stay on my own
So they won't break my heart anymore
One day I finally met the chosen one
At first it turned my whole world upside down
I chose to unsee all the warning signs
When things didn't quite go according to plan
But deep inside all along I knew
That it was something that was too good to be true
It left such a mess that murders the trust
Feeling such emptiness was unbearable at first
But when the story ends the best revenge is just a smile
To let the cheaters and the liars know you're doing fine
I am love sick
My love life is cancelled
I am love sick
It ain't worth the struggle
To lower my guard for a matter of lust
Is to turn my senses into dust
Love is a stinky pile of compromises
Which make you lose sight of yourself
But when you've made one too many sacrifices
The self-preservation prevails and you survive
Or it's suicide

Invisible Blood
04:44
|
|

I ain't got no broken leg
And I ain't got no band-aids on my face
It would be easier to explain
If all my scars were on display
I'm not using a wheelchair
And I am not in intensive care
It would be easier to explain
But I have come to learn it's all useless and vain
A million bruises no one can see
So nobody can understand
And nothing in the world can rescue me
When there is invisible blood
All over me
You see it all when the world doesn't see you
You are alone but it's all right
But in the end your silent screams won't come through
There's no way to reach out
I'm hidden in plain sight
