Casanova
02:39
|

|
I don't intend to scare you, so be afraid
Of anything but pain
I'm second guessing where your trophy is placed
Amid the other names
The Casanova phase, off your game and how?
All part of the exchange
Tabula razor blade in the powder 'round, you let it find you now
[Run into my arms]
You let it find you now
You dare to fall untoward, shouldn't be ashamed
Is any other sane?
Care to declare I'm yours, but should I even stay?
As every color drains
The Casanova phase, on the game allowed
All part of the exchange
Tabula razor blade in the powder 'round
Forgetting every face
Maudlin when she wanted such a gentleman
They're all so fickle
When everyone's a model in their 20s
Make you feel so special
The Casanova phase, off your game and how?
All part of the exchange
Tabula razor blade in the powder 'round, you let it find you now
[Run into my arms]
You let it find you now

Glory
03:00
|

|
Here to the folly of youth, my apology
For when I was wrong
And now it's long overdue
Had you follow me down the garden path
All that I saw in you I couldn't offer it
The bearing of my heart
Enough you said, now we're through
Just the same intention as before you said you wouldn't be held down anymore
Anyone else will testify
I'll never make it on my own
You were my star performer
Laughing under the harsh light
If that's inflammatory
You slay the unconscionable all spring
And that's the weight of glory
You make me uncomfortable I'll sing
No one ever searching wide enough now
When you say what you wanted you say what you wanted to
If I'd have known you...
But now it's too late to
If that's inflammatory
You slay the unconscionable all spring
And that's the weight of glory
You make me uncomfortable I'll sing

Movie
02:50
|
|||
|
You're tired of religiously battling
The ones you consider the average
But you still have to live in the avarice
An everyday movie-like Maverick
To act as your own biggest advocate
Abnormal remaining the adamant
A rainbow of spray cans are rattling
The fangirling boys like talismans
You starred in a cameo role
Caught up in looking A-list
Wondering if you're fit to swim
With the agents you carouse
The righteous indifference you're balancing
The wasted all strafing the hazardous
They're dousing the stage with the halogen
You called your charisma the catalyst
So treasure and bathe at the happening
They're dolling you up to be dazzling
Behave like you came with an asterisk
The flamboyant girls like paladins
You starred in a cameo role
Caught up in looking A-list
Wondering if you're fit to swim
With the agents you carouse

Scam
02:12
|
|||
|
The ones who decided to siphon it off
The men who can take anything that you want
Divide up the market and divvy the stock
But when you're dizzy to talk, with information you got bottled up
A phantom chance, enhance your vantage
The ransom scammer, planned your mansion
Among the requited and titans aloft
Abundant the items that you never saw
They're lining the aisles and filter to malls
Even so vivid you gloss the innovations you plot long enough
At once uninvited though writing it off
The lifers are thriving, you're minding the shop
Excited out-buying you just to taunt
And then the intimate thoughts, in isolation you won't bother us
By making you feel
That you got the wealth of god at your back
And I gotta shield all of that
A phantom chance, enhance your vantage
The ransom scammer, planned your mansion

Worthy
02:40
|
|||
|
O am I worthy of anyone?
No modesty to genuinely ask
The first question, if it's okay for music lasts
Can't rise up when the tallest trees are cut
As the others grow another bough
Won't be fooled when they're quoting other folks
No more covers your diligent vow
The steps you took to get known
Is it not the same? Is it not the same?
When it's the way you wanted, the fates you conquered to make it so
Don't pretend those you count among your friends
Like the narrative you're peddling
Isn't cruelty the unrequited truth
Unapparent in your reveling?
The steps you took to get known
Is it not the same? Is it not the same?
When it's the way you wanted, the fates you conquered to make it so
And you rose again...
The media dancing all around
I'll get paid, I'll get play
And anytime you wanna hear me
You'll get my permission babe

Date
03:38
|
|||
|
Heading down to wait, our initial date
At the same stop
I'm walking through the China gates
As I contemplate what I'm gonna say
Hear my name called
I turn around behold your face
In the high style
When her wizened eyes smile
You're my wild card shy
How can you tell I
I don't wanna upstage you, better get out of the way
They'll say, they'll say
I can't learn enough of you, never fall out of the craze
I'll stay, I'll stay
In the wings of where you are, gonna find my station
And if I have your trust, I'll never walk out on you babe
We're both getting lost, trying to find Young Tea
But they were shut for meeting
I guess correctly, you got a fake ID
So to the bar instead
Ordered a margarita, mostly just tequila in it
Stories of family you're telling me the more I listen
Then I want to show you the mixes, had to get your okay
Just to stop by my place
I don't wanna upstage you, better get out of the way
They'll say, they'll say
I can't learn enough of you, never fall out of the craze
I'll stay, I'll stay
In the wings of where you are, gonna find my station
And if I have your trust, I'll never walk out on you babe

Fault
02:54
|
|||
|
You can never falter
Forging some fame
Caught back in the moments of our thing
In the empty hours
Couldn't get through
To the transparent part of me like you
Get my conscience going
I'm left to wander, you become
Like a mantra poem
Still corresponding innocence
Get my conscience going
I'm left to wander, you become
Like a mantra poem
Never renounce it
Into any offer
Out of your frame
Whenever you fault her for parting
Given up the tactic to domineer
Wanna let go of the insincere
Try to pitch your last-ditch wrong idea
Pitfalls and platforms to interfere
Get my conscience going
I'm left to wander, you become
Like a mantra poem
Still corresponding innocence
Get my conscience going
I'm left to wander, you become
Like a mantra poem
Never renounce it

Dais
03:25
|
|||
|
You never wanted to be part of it from the beginning
The sharper vaunted to the audience he's underpinning
Everyone bought it and the honest took the last position
Bulletins on and on from any kind of coalition
The dais is all yours, but where are we stopping?
Opened your wallet to the harbinger as your addition
Remarked that flaunting it was all it took for them to listen
We got the harshest of it, then you said they act derisive
No kind of logic, never stopping 'til you heard the missive
The dais is all yours, but where are we stopping?
You think you got power, just trolling everyone
No control, no consoling the way you feel
You think you're god now, remote upon a rung
The assholes you bankrolled just to sort your deal
Drinking in all the repulsion of the ones
You once had to make use for to fake it real
Sinking us all in the barrel of a gun
We run through and unto the new world we peal

Uprise
03:03
|
|||
|
Chauvanist or chivalrous, you're looking at her left hand
Nonchalantly take her kiss, you're feeling like a right cad
Resign downcast, no excuse this time
Uprise at last to the truth, it's fine
And every morning I'll see your face, whether you're there or not
Feeling safe, in the way I wanted
And I don't want to be another suitor getting in between
The embrace in the Langham garden
Roguish wit or revanchist, you've hoodwinked all her best plans
Somber promptly make your wish, revealing if I might add
Resign downcast, no excuse this time
Uprise at last to the truth, it's fine
Your approval still caressing all the same, in the youth of melodrama
From this day forward I'll see your face, whether you're there or not
Feeling safe, in the way I wanted
And I don't want to see another future getting in between
The embrace in the Langham garden

Graces
02:40
|
|||
|
The graces of your past, enough to know they're there
Impatient to be had, entangled in the airs
[So far away, to see you again]
You couldn't fake the feeling, I don't mind
I never wanted to refuse you outright 'til we made time
[But who are you forgetting now?]
Our chasing through the grass, we took to everywhere
Still taking you aback, my life en solitaire
It's not enough to know you're not the same
Still awakening to the shape of things you done
[So far away, to see you again]
You couldn't fake the feelings, I don't mind
I never wanted to refuse you outright 'til we made time
[But who are you forgetting now?]
I never said I was sorry to lead you astray, that day
In the rays of the sun, everyone that you loved in vain
In vain...
[So far away, to see you again]
You couldn't fake your feelings, I don't mind
I never wanted to refuse you outright 'til we made time
[But who are you forgetting now?]

Sleuth
04:01
|
|||
|
Driven out of the valley for a cheap thrill
Killed the engine at the corner on a silent hill
Look for truth in the Tinseltown night
Seemed to sway and say that you're not human
My client lying low, I couldn't protect him
Or the necklace, when it all went South
Your silhouette sapped me out
But when I came to, heard your voice say
Something hateful and name your name
Why'd you spare me the pain?
Following the promises your lie erased
When you're the dark passenger on my back
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
When it dawned on me, the face of the offender
Through my piercing head, the chain of the events
As headlights shone on the ridgeline
Someone's nearby, I froze like a corpse had set
Her upward advantage when she started shouting commands
And there's a gun in her hand
And there's fear in your voice
Revealing the meeting that brought you up to the void
Why'd you spare me the pain?
Following the promises your lie erased
When you're the dark passenger in the back
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
Why'd you spare me the pain?
Following the promises your lie erased
When you're the dark passenger on my back
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
