Oh some say I was, a major threat with claws
They called my fire eater
I used to be a shining symbol of bravery
But now he’s just not here
The crowd is shouting calling, that’s our cat boy Malik Destiny
But I just can’t quite remember if that name fits me
Then that roaring tide came crashing down on us
A violent weather leaving all our memories damaged
SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same
Factured, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my face or name
Little bits and pieces of teammates I once knew will flicker though
But Patterson looks at me like I should feel more than I do
But what haunts me most, I feel like this body isn’t mine
but try to see myself somewhere in it
Staring at the photos of who I was
I disassociate and fear my mind I just can’t trust
SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same
Factured, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my name
SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same
Factured, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my face or name
But I’ll just keep searching, I know somehow I’m here
But I’ll just keep searching, seeking finding the memories I hold dear
You may be gone, but you can always remake yourself
Before long, you’ll come to love you’re someone else
You may be gone, but you can always remake yourself
Before long, you’ll come to love you’re someone else
SCATTERED, my molecules were warped now I’m not quite the same
Factured, pieces lost to the elsewhere now I can’t remember my name
SCATTERED, I might never be the hero that they cheered for yesterday
Factured, but I’m coming to terms with finding my new face and name

So take a pound of flesh,
If you think it would help.
I can promise you this:
nothing else will.
Yeah, you sharpen your teeth,
Come on and take a bite.
I can promise you this:
I will survive.
I’m back from the dead, or as close as I can get.
It feels like there’s a thousand voices screaming in my head.
I just have to move, cos I don’t want to forget:
The tide's high, the water's rising, but I ain’t drowning yet (no, I ain’t drowning).
So take a pound of flesh,
If you think it would help.
I can promise you this:
nothing else will.
Yeah, you sharpen your teeth,
Come on and take a bite.
I can promise you this:
I will survive.
This the start of the action,
and I'm main attraction.
But I won’t give you the satisfaction of eating me alive.
See you think we’re defenceless,
but I know my soul is endless,
and you can’t destroy what is Undefined.
I’m Undefined, I’m Undefined.
So take a pound of flesh,
If you think it would help.
I can promise you this:
nothing else will.
Yeah, you sharpen your teeth,
Come on and take a bite.
I can promise you this:
I will survive.
I might be more, I might be less,
But you’ll never make me a consumerist.
I might be more, I might be less,
But you’ll never make me a consumerist.

blessings aren't what they seem
just like every time before
you could party with a losing team
but I bet you're wanting more and more and more
does it bring you joy to min-max?
learn the excel syntax?
i think you lost yourself in all those spreadsheets
from each as we are able
no guillotines at the table
though we may eat you every week
the 99 just want to speak
the more you have, the less it's worth
win or lose, it's all the same
you get richer and you just feel worse
this isn't how to play the game
aren't you sick of trying to control
an endless string of dice rolls?
don’t let the coin decide the way that you feel
from each as we are able
no guillotines at the table
though we may eat you every week
the 99 just want to speak
cause if we sow the seed
we can harvest all we need
but we could feed everyone today
from your all-i-can-eat buffet
and I know you've got a good heart
it's not too late to restart
and find the passion that you can't remember
from each as we are able
no guillotines at the table
though we may eat you every week
the 99 just want to speak
cause if we sow the seed
we can harvest all we need
but we could feed everyone today
from your all-i-can-eat buffet

Waiting on the rising sun
To lay its swollen eyes on me
Not a second oh too late
The heavy feeling fought to plate
And I am here and you are far
But we make burdens easy work
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And I have sown a field for you
And I will reap what comes of it
Waiting on the awling sky
Punctured, let the light on through
And spring returns as promised, you
Start to believe in getting by
It’s midnight in the parking lot
I’ve never shone more brightly than
In stadium with several suns
Moonlighting once the day is done
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And we have sown a field for you
And you will reap what comes of it
I will not take my eyes off you
When I think I’m not coming back
It comes on when the music hits
It comes on when I try to laugh
You beckon and I’d steal for you
It’s how I know that I’m still here
It’s how I know love is a choice
I make so I don’t disappear
Darling, you’re my second sun
Watching me where I belong
Keep the lights from going out
Keep the dark from coming on
Darling, you’re my second sun
Shining on when I lose sight
Take my hand when I forget
That there’s a reason I’m alive
And we have sown a field for you
And we will reap what comes of it
Oh, my my (repeat)

best life, best wife

I wake up on a rock hard bed
Sweep the dreams out from in my head
And hold her in my mind
I’m running late, need to see my team
Another zombie, not the first they’ve seen
This place seems to attract my kind
I get my head in
They see my problem
That she’s all that I’ve got left
And now I’m oh so lonely
But see the nights are holy
Cause I can pretend that she’s lying on my chest
I’ve got the best life, cause I'm living with the best wife, so I’ll keep on holding on
Even if it hurts a bit, in the places that the sharks have hit, I’ll keep her as number one
Everyone I knew moved right along
In the twenty years that I’ve been gone
It’s not their fault, I know
She’s all that’s left in this crazy world
She’s been through shit that no one’s ever heard
A good life is what she’s owed
It’s messed up I know
It’s all I’ve got though
So I’ll just keep giving my best
Because I’m oh so lonely
But see the nights are holy
Cause I can pretend that she’s lying on my chest
I’ve got the best life, cause I'm living with the best wife, so I’ll keep on holding on
Even if it hurts a bit, in the places that the sharks have hit, I’ll keep her as number one
A fire is burning somewhere
That I thought went out long ago
It’s not fucking fair
But now’s my time to go
I can see the sun going out
I think we both know what that means
It’s fine my love, I’ll be alright
Just know you gave me the best life
You’ve been the best wife

She lost her voice
Under the ocean waves
Smothered by the tides
Drowned in the pouring rain
But now she sees the truth
Beneath the water lies
A path to guide her home
Elsewhere but still alive
No more denial
It's time
She looks up and shouts
To the empty skies
"You cursed my name
You swept me away
But now I'm back
And now you'll pay"
Shattered chains
Lie beneath the waves
A solemn reminder
Of where she once laid
Lost in the elsewhere
But lost nowhere at all
No more pain
No more illusion
She looks up and shouts
To the hollow skies
"You cursed my name
You swept me away
But now I'm back
And now you'll pay"
So many years
Wasted and gone
Living with the weight of the sea
In her weary arms
Lost in the elsewhere
But lost nowhere at all
It's time to come home
It's time to say goodbye
No more tears
No more denial
She looks up and screams
To the burning skies
"You cursed my name
You swept me away
But now I'm back
And now you'll pay"

Hey Jaylen, I know you’re leaving home
Where we’ve been living for so long
And I don’t see you coming back
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
Go back to the field where you’ll be met
Thousands of fans, and their debt
I’ll be in the crowd, cheering you on
But I still want you home, not too far gone
Cuz I don’t see you coming back
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
I can’t help but feel like you’ll be stuck in starlight
And what will become of me then, will I be all alone again
I don’t see you coming back
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
