Remember me with a sense of jealousy
Not seen by eyes
Out of the darkness comes a crooked smile
Crooked smile
When your calm come home
Hey there
Hi there
How you been
Anonymity
No name or face
Means no sin
Anonymity
Break it apart
Don't break it in
Anonymity
Learn how to fish
Before you swim
No responsibility
Doesn't really phase me when you show
Anonymity
Hi there
Hey there
Where you been
Anonymity
Doesn't matter I don't know your name
Anonymity
Hide away
Where you can say things you want to say
Everything you feel consumes me
will I remain anonymous
Or will we share a past
Anonymity
Anonymity
Anonymity
Anonymity
Anonymity
When your calm come home
Anonymity
Anonymity
I was told I could be a simple man
Volunteered my time for your master plan
Grand old days
Milk and honey street parade
Tear down the halo that you wear so well
Remove the pages from the past
And replace them all with smiley faces
I was told I was a waste of space
Left alone on a planet far away
Stayed here to repave my way
Milk and honey street parade
Tear down the halo that you wear so well
Remove the pages from the past
And replace them all with smiley faces
Tear down the halo that you wear so well
Remove the pages from the past
And replace them all with smiley faces
I held you softly
In my arms
You never stopped me
Tear down the halo that you wear so well
Remove the pages from the past
And replace them all with smiley faces
Tear down the halo that you wear so well
Remove the pages from the past
And replace them all with smiley faces
I saved the best for last
I climbed the mountain pass
I swam across the sea
Took parts of you with me
So long
To me
This is my eulogy
I tried to save myself
From a life of greed
How can we tell the difference from greed or need
So long
To me
This is my eulogy
So long
To me
This is my eulogy
So long
To me
This is my Eulogy
So long
To me
This is my eulogy
Don't take me for a common fool
I broke the chains from when I was in school
There's no need to be sentimental
The other kids are pessimists
Remember friends
They might be jealous
They could be warning me of things to be
Save the darkness
Swallows up the day
Corrupted
Zeros and ones
Surround me
It's all I see
Save the darkness
Swallows up the day
Corrupted
Zeros and ones
Surround me
It's all I see
When saturns rings
Start to fail
Watch out for the silver hail
Approaching winds
Bring more chains
Save the darkness
Zeros and ones
Save the darkness
Zeros and ones
Zeros and ones
When saturns rings
Start to fail
Watch out for the silver hail
Approaching winds
Bring more chains
Hey there
Taste it
Control it
Grind it
Be weary for me healthy happy seed
Hey there
Grow it
Control it
Show it
To me once I approve it
Stomp it
Seal it
Bruise it
Broken bones and slivers
Makes me qualified to hear about your personal disasters
Hey there
Taste it
Hold it
Control it
Don't you ever ask for more then you need
Broken bones and slivers
Makes me qualified to hear about your personal disasters
Hold on while we all play along
Hold on while we all play along
Hold on while we all play along
Bygone be bygone be gone
Broken bones and slivers
Makes me qualified to hear about your personal disasters
Hold on while we all play along
Hold on while we all play along
Hold on while we all play along
Bygone be bygone be gone
Taste it
Hold it control it
Then whisper
Taste it
Hold it control it
Welcome to your personal disaster
