The medics told me
I had my brain in my pocket
It was a miracle I survived
To be God's second chance
My family arrived to see me
half-blind and traumatized
I couldn't recognize
half of the people there
I tried to speak but I stammered the words
I lashed out in anger and fear
wanting them all to disappear
A priest came in
forgave me of my sins
and whispered into my ears
I have a chance
to change the world and have it in my hands
I glanced away thinking ill of the man
But there was something in the air
rather, there was something in my head
there was a symphony of noises and
melodies I dreamt they were real
they were connected
and I let out a single chorus that said
I'm over dreaming
All the precious feelings
I'll start healing
key to love
tender
I'm over dreaming
done with all the real things
sinister or driven
key to love
Ill sing my head out
Ill open the door
Ill become Benny Mayhem and
be one to adore.

WHITE DAY!
02:57
|
|||
|
Every day, I've been thinking the same things
wondering when the time will come
and I cannot reason with upwards contrition
my antics, my strifes and my crumbled decisions, but
I wish I could fuck the stars
and cure the itch
maybe even the sickness
what ever your business with me is,
I do not care
No one's gonna stop me from enjoying this
White Day
and you get nothing
Please tell me I can work it out
Please tell me, I can wait
I can barely count with fingers
all the reasons I can't stay
Please tell me I can work it out
please tell me I can wait
please tell me all the reasons
Im too late.
Repetitive behavior
Mea culpa, the savior
the cliche is major
and I wanna tell you everything is alright
but it is too much to sigh
so I'll have to say goodbye.

POST-EGO
03:54
|

|
Humbled to the ground
People drone in post ego
Never seen then around
Benny mayhem came for me
And fed me to the hounds
I wasnt ready
faced the consequences
In bad sequence
Yet focused on the sounds
Became so overrated
Flagellated, a holy memo
People drone in post ego
And im late to understand
When my hands cave into my pockets
Cannot shake, or brake, or stop it
The pessimist news
The win or the lose
The public’s a nuisance
When my hands cave
Well I don't know what's going on
Well there some things you shouldn't be asking
Well I don't know what's kicked my head
well there some things you shouldn't be asking
Well I don't know how to react
when there some things you shouldn't be asking
well I don't know anything at all
well there some things you shouldn't be asking
woah
Timestamped all the lies
I kick my head in all the time
Wasnt a surprise
they told me I was canonized
A tool for my demise
Never felt so many eyes
Forget about the last time
Yeah, forget about the last time
Im not anxious i dont know
Im withering in post ego
Im not anxious i dont know
I withering in post ego

Mirror Lake

Why sit here in silence
Why, my love-death is complacent
Every time i try to move
The complex grounds me
To my alibi
For those lonely nights
I say goodbye
Forever
I tore the note i wrote you
The rain dryed up
The drought has come up
A flower that tried to grow has died
We never really said
I love you
Wasted
Wonderkid
For love,
Checkmate
Gravity
Obeyed
Forever
And ever
(Now our throats are sore)
Co-Ed
Stranded
OLED
Screen in my head
I wanna get
Wasted
Forever and ever
I think i did a bad thing
I think i did a bad thing.
Well I never really understood
People like you
Or make-out social cues
Its like I blow a fuse
And oh
You make me whole
When I lost you I lost myself
In the world
And all these other people
They dont know what to do
Jarred and dazed thru sunglasses
Distorting to the tune
I’m a maniac
Cuz I’m into you...
Im only trying to cope x4
DEATHSHIT
ALWAYS SAY NO
DEATH SHIT
ALWAYS SAY NO
DEATHSHIT
ALWAYS SAY NO
DEATH SHIT
ALWAYS SAY NO
DEATHSHIT
DEATHSHIT
WOAH
(Im only trying to cope)

Fears (For You)
04:52
|
|||
|
I had a fear of talking
To you for so long
It feels like ages since I talked to you
The last time was so bad
I stumbled with my words so hard
Sentences were a staircase
And now I’m anxious about what words to say
My ingenuity has never paid off
Once in this situation
Ive never been patient
I wanna jump into your arms
But no
I wont ever dance again.
No, I wont ever dance again.
I’m living in fear of your eyes
Oh, I wont ever dance again.
No, I wont ever dance again.
I’m living in fear of your eyes.
Left Right Step Right Get Right
Yeah, it was easier when we were kids
To dance like no ones watching
No one judged your every move
You could do what you wanted
Now stereo fright
The flashing lights
You hold the mic
Do whatever you like
I will never go back there

Culling/Outro
05:54
|
|||
|
Within these walls of white
And scuffed interior design
Here you'll find
A man past his prime
Pleasures of normal life
Escaped him time to time
Benny’s got a gun
And he has walked the line
Open maroon cabinet
Symphonies forgotten
Ballads written
For some ghost he left behind
The devil tempted him
To keep creating hymns
And hell get tempted again
Comcast
ABC
All I ever wanted
and All that I need
For all that I know
And all I believe
Ill keep on culling
Podcasts
MTV
All you ever wanted
Was for me to be free
And for all those
Young heartbreakers that confide in me
Ill keep on culling
Pacified
Everything is compromised
I dont know how to alive
Everything is compromised
I GOTTA GO GOTTA GO GOTTA
Settle down
Everything is compromised
I dont know how to comply
Everything is compromised
But im scared
(everything is compromised)
