"Key Entity Extraction II: Holly Wood The Cracked"

Pick a number, wait in line
There's no medicine to fix that mind

Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Watch out here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun

Message panicked, naked waste
There's no help to give this one to keep her sane

Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Watch out here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun

Look out boy!

Shes a few cards short of a full deck, a joker in the game
Oh, shes got a bullet with your name on it
No doubt shes a mental case

Better keep that girl away!

Oh, Poor Holly Wood
She is cracked goods
Poor Holly Wood

This may be the last time I say
This may be the last time I say

Oh, poor Holly Wood
She is cracked goods
Poor Holly Wood

Oh, she's cracked, she's cracked
And where she's gone, there's no coming back
Ah, watch her finger, she's gonna pull the trigger
Then the party's over

Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Watch out here she comes
Holly Wood, Holly Wood
Fucking a loaded gun

"Key Entity Extraction III: Vic The Butcher"

You made this harder than it had to be
The absolute martyr, etching into me
You flashed your colors at me way prematurely
And now I know what you're up to, and it feels so good
It's right

We've got your number written
Reset the system screaming
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

These sitting ducks in season
The march of little children
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

The truth will cut you down to pieces
One-eighty-four, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think about us

I listened to them chuckle as they eat
Their judgment hiding behind eyes and dirty teeth
You think I care for all these phony pleasantries
When I want nothing to do with, I want nothing to do with your life

We've got your number written
Reset the system screaming
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

These sitting ducks in season
The march of little children
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now
Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now

The truth will cut you down to pieces
One-eighty-four, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think about us

Bye, bye, bye

Baby I'm bad company,
And you don't have a mark
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Come with me, I want to make you dirty

This will cut you down to pieces
One-eighty-four, let's burn it down
And if I can't keep from living with this regret
I'll need to change the way I think

Hang your secrets, hang 'em up, hang 'em up now...

"Key Entity Extraction IV: Evagria The Faithful"

This sinking warmth through obscurity,
Beyond the sweet in between where and what you're doing,
There is a view of an uncharted place,
Where you're the brunt of a joke and everyone's laughing,
I am not who I seem, who you thought I could be,
The support you could lean up against when you need,
I'm the dark when you want, the lights out at all costs,
This is mine, that is yours, I'm the bricks in your wall.

Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.
Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.

A yearning loss to silence me,
The struggle breaks the black and white, calling, transmitting,
The echo breaks, electric air,
Her pulse it stretches from never to everywhere.

And from the other side she'll save me,
Her courage, strength and heart beyond,
I wish she'd stay mine
But her place is in some other time.

Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.

Body separating, ascend and release,
This tragedy is all my fault,
Reaching, desperately to salvage any piece,
This tragedy is all my fault.

This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away
This hurt won't, won't go away

And from the other side she'll save me,
Her courage, strength and heart beyond,
I wish she'd stay mine
But her place is in some other time.

Goodbye forever, my darling, whether
I was everything you thought I'd be or not,
I was a bad man, oh, to stop you girl from loving me.

Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever (You won't be forgotten)

"Subtraction"

The hurt across your face, your word against mine,
The rhythm you repeat, the beat a hair behind,
Were you on my side?

You gave your all, but you gave it once, a lesson that you thought,
You could teach it when you want, subtract me from your heart,
Little take away girl.

One step at a time,
You made us angry,
All your love could hide,
But we knew you were afraid.

We accept, we unaccept, we made up, we're breaking up,
You've thought you had enough, but maybe you didn't know,
That this stage holds a show.

One step at a time,
You made us angry,
All your love could hide,
But we knew you were afraid.

Misery, I digress,
No recourse, no remorse,
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back.
Misery, I digress,
No recourse, no remorse,
Let it be, I confess
To every song that brought you back.

"The Homecoming"

We are a living absolute
Stuck in an anguished innocence
This moment loved
I greet the sun
And wake from a war i could have won
Well in your arms I'll keep this memory to me
This kitchen floor won't reveal all the things I felt for you

Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger

The dust a-dance against my breath
The world awaken slowly dressed
A life unanswered in the light
With questions scattered in the night

And now my heart feels heavy
The weight will drag me down
You were the only reason
They'd find me here tonight

Please level with me
Understand, I'd do anything for you
Seize any moment while you can
This void's coming after you
Cause loneliness is why you hurt
Just don't kill the messenger

Iron Fist
Dark Side Of Me

"Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry The Defiant"

Believer
Your spotlight on the subject so incorrect
And suggestion suggests that I'm someone you should not respect
Oh you wear your facade so well
Covered up in a plastic shell
You're a liar to everyone around you
Just don't forget

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now be defiant, the lion
Give them the fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive

And it's homecoming
And it's homecoming

Can you remember
When there was no wrong in what I could do
So young, biting off way more than I could chew
And then one day I grew too old,
And my cares were now theirs to mold
Please accept this as my resignation
It's time to go

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now be defiant, the lion
Give them the fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging,
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive

I'm alive

I will now bleed for what I believe in
No more mistakes for them to make for me
So goodbye, it's my time for me...

...to be me

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now be defiant, the lion
Give them the fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive

I'm alive

"The Hard Sell"

I'm paranoid and sick of this
World's misconception of things I did
My language poured across this wrist
In a metaphoric disaster
My guess, I'm missing out the punch line
Unless this hanging noose
Is fitted to be all mine

I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

'Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out to be in

There's never enough cool

These eyes ungoverned are tearing us apart
Their ears forsaken have given up on art
Now, why believe in anything they praise
When one hand holds them the victor
While the other holds the shovel to their graves

I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

'Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out to be in

Oh, this ticket window has closed
Save your money, baby
The next show's about to start
Where else can you get to watch this talent fall?
One by one they drop

I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

'Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out

You're selling all of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out to be in
You're selling out to be in

I stood by everything I loved

"Iron Fist"

The wish you plead and the things you sought
We all think, we all thought
The things I've done, and the world I've seen,
Don't measure up to you my queen
Oh, I take one for the other, and work my way through this machine

God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh no
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh

The first train out, the last one draws
We'll all sing; "We're going home"
As the curtain swings in to cover all our secrets kept, our love enough

God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh no
Oh girl, this is what I've become
And I'm going to leave it up to you
What are you going to do?

Cause I don't want to lose your hold on me
Cause I don't want to lose your hold on me

God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh no
God damn, this is what I've become
And I'm going to leave it up to you
What are you going to do?

Just remember
Pay no attention to this iron... this iron fist
Just remember
Pay no attention to this iron... this iron fist

This iron... this iron fist
God damn... this cursed...
God damn... this cursed...
God damn...

"Dark Side Of Me"

In those discouraging days
I always missed the mark
When we were comfort and close
I would neglect to keep

Ooh, you safe and unexposed
A portrait of time repeats
This moment now replaced
With an empty wish to give
I give, I gave

I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality, I made
This selfish war machine

Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

Now in your absence I wade
Through the coursing, lonely, lost
And in this tragic dismay
I never could believe what I became

I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality, I made
This selfish war machine

Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

Ooh, I couldn't give you
What you needed
It's all my fault
Too coward to believe I lost it all

I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality, I made
This selfish war machine

Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me
