Monochrome mist It was really hard to pick a favorite, there are so many extremely wonderful songs on this album and the more I listen to it the harder it is to choose just one. The music itself is something I could totally jump up and dance to (even if I don't know how) and the lyrics are really discerning, especially when you pay attention. I've been a fan of this artist for a couple of years and I'm so excited to be able to have this album now! Favorite track: Antioxidant.

Let's Make a Martyr 02:17
lyrics
I look forward to the day we can travel through time And go back to the day when all the sinners were freed We'll discover that the saviour was just a normal guy And the prophets were illiterates and Romans agreed Gotta pad the story a bit So let's say you're not gone forever While he still breathes Do you ever wonder if Kurt Cobain Remembers the people who drove him to his end They're calling the poor guy Jesus nowadays If he didn't he would blow his brains out again It won't amount to anything if You're still alive in the morning Everyone leaves Eventually Better pick up the pace Let's make a martyr You gotta die someday Let's make a martyr You're gonna die anyway Let's make a martyr If no one hears a word you say Become a martyr today These are just a few of my favourite things People dying, people crying, and a lost message Why would you ever wanna fight for your rights When getting over life is a right of passage I think it's just adorable how you Stand up for what you believe in Nobody grieves Soon down the road you will realiZe That no one can be bothered until somebody dies You should have stayed happy with all you got The message gets through better to people when it's SHOT It won't amount to anything if You're still alive in the morning Everyone leaves Eventually Better pick up the pace Let's make a martyr You gotta die someday Let's make a martyr You're gonna die anyway Let's make a martyr If no one hears a word you say Become a martyr today Let's make a martyr You gotta die someday Let's make a martyr You're gonna die anyway Let's make a martyr If no one hears a word you say Become a martyr today

What a Way to Go 01:19
lyrics
It's time to act your age Burn the house down What a way to go What a way to go No one sees the dead boy Fly around What a way to go What a way to go They don't understand When he succumbs to his rage What a way to go What a way to go The monster's Already acting his age What a way to go What a way to go Look for something to cheer up the folks Something kinda Islamic Way to go What a way to go Took one step away from zero Way to go What a way to go The more you do, the less you know Flipping backwards Off a rocking chair What a way to go What a way to go Red colour of copper Needle in the eye What a way to go What a way to go My kid loves Our brand new car What a way to go What a way to go Go for a ride Come back bone dry What a way to go What a way to go I'd look to look before I walk But I'm choking on all the plastic Way to go What a way to go Took one step away from zero Way to go What a way to go The more you do, the less you know

Get Out of the House 03:25
lyrics
You won't find me here I'm a whole world away You try to keep me grounded You lock me up all day But now I've got a plan We'll see how long this stands I've stepped out of this house I've stepped out of your hands Bit of a money and an altercation And some edible imagination My burning head and I Are searching for new lands I'm on the outside Of here and now, of then and now I'm seeing lights, I'm seeing Sights that two feet won't allow My own have now betrayed me I can't see through one eye My plan was to escape but now I've tought myself to fly But I still see To my surprise No longer a high rise My bedroom is in the sky By the time you found me I'd hit an all-time low Never saw the flashing lights But felt a fleeting glow Now I'm stuck back at home A gnarled ball in the den I guess it ain't so nice to Get out of the house every now and then

My Parents Died and Everyone Loves Me 00:29
lyrics
My parents died And everyone loves me I have no faults Except my horrible spelling Put some colour in my hair Try and punch me in the eye Doesn't matter if I even deserve it Everyone takes my side

My New Legs/Are You Happy Now 05:24
lyrics
So once again the guy you're stuck with Took you out to dinner He orders you a salad, guess he Wishes you were thinner You know when you catch his sight "Unsightly" seems to say it right But that's the reason he is yours You know that he too ain't a winner What is beautiful to you (Look at my new legs) Does it look at all like you Should know the girl in the mag (Look at my new legs) Doesn't really look like that, no Look at my new legs You think you finally understand What makes the people rave Should you work your stomach flat Her's seems to be concave You want to focus on her clothes but Kudos to the one who draws her Legs 'cause you don't realize Those aren't the ones her mother gave What is beautiful to you Does it look at all like you (Look at my new legs) Should know the girl in the mag Doesn't really look like that, no (Look at my new legs) Look at my new legs What is beautiful to you (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Does it look at all like you (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Should know the girl in the mag (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Doesn't really look like that, no (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) What is beautiful to you (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Does it look at all like you (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Should know the girl in the mag (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Doesn't really look like that, no (Nobody cares unless you're pretty or dying) Point your ass at the cameraman and say Some ignorant opinion of the world today Why do you pine for fame and fortune When you get a lot more than that Your tears are a farce Rock out loud in your giant Hollywood home It escapes me why no one wants to leave you alone There's nothing remotely interesting about you But we must know about your cat Are you happy now You got what you wanted You are not allowed to cry Are you happy now You are rich and famous And sought by the cameraguy You know I love you but you missed the important part You put the heart back in rock but you've got the funding for your art How's a poor kid gonna give his basement or garage Half the tech that you got in yours You're seeing too close Everyone gets dropped A side glance once in their lives Take the cheap way up Or work it out Or play it out Or burn it out Then burn it out And burn it out Burn it Are you happy now You got what you wanted And you didn't have to try Are you happy now Everyone is watching Counting down until you die Oh how you dreamed of being a rockstar You wrote a song and everything You worked your ass off to be a movie star Hey what's that piece of shit you call a wedding ring The whole thing's missing A toilet metaphor If only it were easy To piss it all away When everybody's watching

Hang On, I Got This 02:17
lyrics
I believe in coincidences When I'm gone they'll all point to this Like I saw it coming, like it's prophetic But you never see it coming So the going feel pathetic Just coincidences I gotta wonder what's been taking him so long A bit of good luck, hiding in a ditch all day I already know how it all went wrong I hear you better when you're further away Accidental kerosene embalment Boss is sick and tired of your involvement Found a new way to beat the clock But they dump you beside the dock Too late to learn hearts don't have any strings What is the metaphor, hanging up by its eyes Wait to cry when you lost all your things Look, the joke is everybody dies At the tender age of mitigation Mouth to light is not illumination Blame yourself, you're barely a year old That was it or melting in the cold You know you did it to yourself Your mother dropped you down a well Your father promised not to tell You know you did it to yourself Die right and it's hilarious Until the joke's on you Never say again (Hang on, I got this) Don't ever tell your friends (Hang on, I got this) You haven't got a body left to waste You know you did it to yourself The victim said to blame yourself Look at what you did to yourself You know you did it to yourself No matter what could break your bones Your skull needs a jackhammer Never say again (Hang on, I got this) Don't ever tell your friends (Hang on, I got this) You haven't got a body left to waste We're missing all the anger in your face And all that's left is strewn around the place Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Antioxidant 03:01
lyrics
Didn't know each other long And goes to tell As far as doomed to fail goes It did not go well Two figures in their masks And over time Your face came out of yours Should I have left on mine Have to hate the way I Am when I think about it I shouldn't think about it Should I We're bound by bitterness and Manic cheers Blind hate while wondering What you'll do in a few years Some day the time came for your Thoughts to fair Nobody's was but I Still can't stand you there Want to punch you in the Face when I think about it I shouldn't think about it Should I Stop me wishing To go back in the marsh Things are better How they've laid out so far It's up to you how you spend your time So it's your call But why do you insist to waste it When you clearly hate them all Someone had to say it Guess something got through And with the steady change Maybe I'll forget you too Now the seeds are planted Now I've finally had it It's time I made you think So should I Should I Should I Should I

Don't Hear Me 05:17
lyrics
Tell me why it keeps going wrong Have I been cursed with a poison tongue I can't speak to you like I want to Because every time I show I'm a fool to you There's something odd about a silent conversation It can be read so many ways I could convince you all that I Could not uphold said to your Don't hear me Just read my words I'm not who I hoped you heard Don't hear me Just read my words I'm not who At times I feel like some random punctuations Made to hide that I was swearing So instead I look like I just Had a mother of an aneurism I can't connect while I'm still talking Is it best if I stick to text Or should we skip to the ultimatum And have the both of us see what's next Don't hear me Just read my words I'm not who I hoped you heard Don't hear me Just read my words I'm not who Tell me why it keeps going wrong Are my hands a mouth or my mouth a gun Do your eyes see the friend I want to be And your ears balk at that who is really me

I'm Your Victim 02:34
lyrics
You have a funny condition Of killing everything that you touch Oh, the hurts so good that they all pay for Soon it doesn't hurt all that much And everyone is turning a blind eye to you But baby I'm ready to talk You ain't getting repeat business so Why don't you replenish your stock That feeling in your chest that Says you're still alive Anymore of it and I won't be I'm your victim Any other case I'd be dead on the floor But you and I know it's 'cause I Want you more I'm your victim I'm not looking for the usual kiss I don't want to be the usual lover I wanna feel the air leaving me baby You and I both want a kind of tender I'm a sick boy with a capital D And I wanna give a buck with a capital F The last thing I hear at all should be your vitriol You're only halfway if you make me deaf You're game is the kind that you fuck up from the inside-out That feeling in your chest that Says you're still alive Anymore of it and I won't be I'm your victim Any other case I'd be dead on the floor But you and I know it's 'cause I Want you more I'm your victim
10.
Edged Out 01:22
lyrics
Have you ever had a human impulse Cut it out, you don't oppress yourself enough They say to go straight in an old world sense Tough it out, the better man always says no But it's not that simple Your badge of pride The reason you're alive You'd better hide Don't touch that girl Don't fuck that guy Or you might Get just A little Edged out It's part of life to want to do things to people That if your mom can hear, you'll never say There's nothing special about not doing something When no one wants to fuck you anyway Repress yourself Your human instincts Your love and lust Means nothing to your ego But the best part It's not even a dogma thing One Can feel Just a little Edged A little Edged A little Edged

A More Traditional Love Song 02:20
lyrics
If I had to pick one thing that I like About your eyebrows It'd probably simply be the fact That you have eyebrows Life wouldn't nearly be as fun Without your eyebrows Turn them the other way I see you look at me Ever so quizically How shall I drop the gun I can't apologize When I see them rise And something in me follows What I like most about you Is your eyebrows Make you look like you don't trust a Thing that I do Oh your eyebrows They can break my heart But that's nothing next to What I do to you Don't you know the best love songs To sing to eyebrows Are the ones where you're in fear for yourself What's with your hairstyle Where'd our relationship go wrong I watch you sleeping Turn them the other way I see you look at me Ever so frantically Why did I drop the gun I can't apologize When I see them run And something in me follows What I like most about you Is your eyebrows Make you look like you don't trust a Thing that I do Oh your eyebrows They can break my heart But that's nothing next to What I do to you That's right I did it I shot her Right in the eyebrows

I Forgot to Tell Them the Bridge is Out 01:02
lyrics
Hey, man, what you doin' out in nowhere How much farther are you plannin' to run Look a mess, white knuckles pullin' out hair And the Borg Queen's riding shotgun Thrill seekin', the nostalgia hits me hard there I traded in the coke for a gun Tell you what, you caught me on a good day Drive straight, take a left and have fun Never going back to Georgia Never going south again Never planning alchy roadtrips Wasn't supposed to last just one weekend Well, sheriff, just what was all that about Why not book 'em, Don't worry deputy I forgot to tell them the bridge is out
14.
Shake 01:57
lyrics
It's on me to work through The chemicals in us While you sit idoling by A trail of venom down your cuss I keep you locked You're so much trouble for the free Soon to be draped in virgin white The only virgin will be me Shake till you can't anymore Shake till you can't anymore Us alone out on the floor Oh, she's like a dream Hazy as she goes Oh, she's like a dream Immobile in her throes Oh, she's like a dream Thriving on your fears Oh, she's like a dream Forgotten when your head clears Do you want to know how people try To so easily define gender Do you want a little tenderness Or do you want your body tender You grip so impassionately Try not to think of you and me You're like a dog's philosophy His thought's a lost ability Shake till you can't anymore Shake till you can't anymore Be my victim on the floor
15.
Tribalism 03:19
lyrics
I like you, you're my kind of human You fit under my description That's all I need to know to listen I welcome just a little suggestion There's a party goin' on And it's splitting the country in two The only solution Is to get a little more tribal (Tribalism!) Get a little more tribal (Tribalism!) Get a little more tribal (Tribalism!) Human? Please! What do they really call you Sure you care, well that's what they all say What's your tribe? That's relevant data With or without I won't give the time of day There's a party goin' on And it's splitting the country in two The only solution Is to get a little more tribal (Tribalism!) Get a little more tribal (Tribalism!) Get a little more tribal (Tribalism!)

There for Me 10:00
lyrics
You'll turn away in sorrow and say You never saw this coming from me I had grown too attached to the way That no matter what we had to agree Nothing says to me I have to see it I've gone my life without giving a damn Awake one morning to false revelations But take another step and you're in a jam Sorry love there's Nothing there for me I don't want Somebody there for me To cheap experiences, I'm not a stranger I went to church for a number of my years Sat in back with my eyes glazing over You never see one like me coming to tears So perceived from the corner of your eye Honest irreverance is naturally cold You gave your compliments long after I decided I have a face that you scrape off the road Sorry love there's Nothing there for me Don't pretend there's Something there for me The freedom of love's a lie The freedom from love is mine
