The Evil One
04:01

Give me some credit
I've been doing my job and you don't get it
Nobody does
You got this habit
Of ruining everything, borderline wicked
'Cause nice just didn't have the same ring
I go unnoticed
As you pretend to be me, but you're not like me, you just look it
And I'm tired of being your opposite
You got the style, the wit, the eyepatch, and goatee
And all I got is me
And I'm good, but I'm not happy
I wanna be the evil one
The twin that has all the fun
I wanna be the evil one
Oh, please, let me just this once
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
Maybe if I take your place, they'll finally care
Oh, the favourite son, I wanna be the evil one
I'm used to rejection
After all the shit you're putting me through
Every direction
Seeing fingers point at me when they mean you
You're in the paper
Every channel on TV
My doppleganger
Basking in your infamy
You're like a mirror
Showing me who I could be
If I was a monster
Hey, I heard that sinister's the new sexy
I get the short end of every stick you got
'Cause you're everything I'm not
Yeah, I'm good
But at least until I get caught
I wanna be the evil one
The twin that has all the fun
I wanna be the evil one
Oh, please, let me just this once
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
Maybe if I take your place, they'll finally care
Oh, the favourite son, I wanna be the evil one
'Cause frauds have more fun
Who cares if I come undone
I'm justified
Frauds have more fun
Who cares if I come undone
I wanna be the evil one
I wanna be the evil one
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
Oh, the favourite son, I wanna be the evil one
Who cares if I come undone
I wanna be the evil one

It's a Conspiracy
03:47
|
|||
|
It's getting lonely way out here
Yeah, space will do that to you
But let me be clear
I'm one heartbroken satellite
You see it's been a while since I've seen you around
40 years since you last touched my lunar ground
So a call at least would be nice
You moved on to better things
Said it was the money, but maybe it's me
And you changed everything with one giant leap
And then you left me
Oh, maybe it's a conspiracy
I don't know this Houston guy
But I'll bet he can't shine as bright as I
Oh, there's so much of me you've yet to learn
And worst of all, you left your little prints on me
Stuck a pretty thorn in my side, oh, is that all you need?
You've been gone so long but the memory still hurts
You moved on to better things
Said it was the money, but maybe it's me
You changed everything with one giant leap
And then you left me
Oh, maybe it's a conspiracy
Oh, what can I do?
Until you return, I'll watch the asteroids burn
I just don't glow like I used to
And as I count the days
I'm drifting further and further and further and further and further and further away
You moved on to better things
Said it was the money, but maybe it's me
You changed everything with one giant leap
And then you left me, yeah
Oh, maybe it's a conspiracy

Planesong

This plane will never stop
Taking off, it feels wrong
My stomach dropping over and over
Tethered to the ground
And I just can't stand the sound
Of this engine humming over and over
All the people in flight
Don't seem to mind
Destined for the stars
But why is getting there so hard
I can feel my heart beat over and over
And from this tiny window my view, it stays the same
As the pilots play this stupid game
Seasons keep on changing over and over
Keep your seatbelt on
It won't be too long
Will I reach the end now or ever?
At least if I fall down it's familiar
'Cause either I get there or don't
Those are both things that I know
It's just the space between the two makes me so confused
What do I do?
Maybe I won't
Ever know

Contagious

Hey, cutie
I found your profile online
You said you wanted someone with a brain
Hey, that's me
So we got to talking right away
I got excited when you said that you would eat me ou-
Wait! That's my arm
What are you doing?
When I mentioned S&M, this is not what I meant
You're so cute
In a dumb and always hungry sorta way
You're kinda mute
But baby, I know what you're tryna say
My friends, they stay away 'cause
You're probably contagious
And sure you like eating guts but I'm distracted because
The way you moan my name is driving me insane
How mad would my mom be if she knew I was dating a...
Zip up your coat, let's go dancing
Oh, that's right you... Lost your leg in a fight
Just wondering,
Does this fight have anything to do with that weird virus outbreak from last week I
Heard that people were getting brutally murdered and I thought maybe... No?
Okay!
But while we're still on the subject
Lately you've been smelling pretty bad
And also,
Will you please stop biting my arm? Jeez
You're the most handsy date I've ever had
You're so cute
In a clumsy and violent sorta way
So why are people so rude?
It's not your fault your skin's kinda grey
But they all still stay away 'cause
You're probably contagious
And sure you like eating guts but I'm distracted because
The way you moan my name is driving me insane
How mad would my mom be if she knew I was dating...
Another fight tonight, I think that I'm feeling weak
I've given so much of me
So many literal pieces of me
Literally
My friends stay away 'cause
You're probably contagious
But that's outrageous
I think that they just
Can't see how lovely you are, how you've devoured my heart
The way you moan my name is driving me insane
How mad would my mom be if she knew I was dating a
Zombie, yeah
I'm dating a zombie
This might actually change things, I didn't realize this until now
I'm dating a zombie

Secondhands
00:44
|
|||
|
If at first glance it seems I've planned my own reality
It's just circumstance - these secondhands have got their claws in me
Like a river flows and never slows its way into the sea
Oh, I doubt it chose the path it goes - it's all just gravity
But it's less like a force, more like a fight
Stuck in a back and forth of who's really to blame
Less like a flame, more like a dim light bulb
Always flickering and waiting to be changed

Almost
02:54
|
|||
|
Procrastinating all my days away
It's always the same thing
It's fascinating keeping work at bay
Oh, when will I learn?
All the time I've freed don't mean a thing to me
I'm in a chains in my mind like
I'm almost there
I can feel it, I can feel it
I'm always almost there
Always aching, never breaking out
All this effort wasted on self doubt
When will it feel right?
All the space I need
But no progress to be seen
Nothing's changed in my mind like
I'm almost there
I can feel it, I can feel it
I'm always almost there
'Cause whether I'm sorting my laundry, sorting my life out
Writing the songs or riding the sad out
Time won't wait for me
Time won't wait for me
PIcking my brain or picking a flavor
The odds are stacked in the opposite favor
Mostly excuses and never a reason
It isn't my day, no it isn't my season
Time won't wait for me
Time won't wait 'cause
I'm almost there
I can feel it, I can feel it
I'm always almost there

All Along
03:19

Did you notice
That every mistake I ever make
Is with you in mind?
You're always right behind me
You can see everything I'm doing wrong
Desperately, I wanna be the perfect me, but I'm not strong
You see, all along I've needed you
Pink cheeks
That I'd like to meet but just out of reach
How we were designed
Keeping me in line
I'd write it down, but it always seems to come out wrong
Could I find the perfect phrase you won't erase or is my chance long gone
To say all along I've needed you
Sooner or later
I'm gonna wear you down
Nothing's forever
So I have to do this now
Did you notice
That every mistake I ever make
Is with you in mind?
Secrets I hope you'll find here
Scribbled in the pages of our history
You and me
Everything I ever wanted you to see, awkwardly
I'll let you wipe away the things I say my whole life long
If only you'd understand that where you are is where I belong
All along I've needed you

It's a game because you lose
It's a show because all the world is watching you
"Kill everyone," they said
"It'll be fun," they said
Now you're in Jeopardy
There's no running from me
How entertaining
If the Vice is Right
That's all the time we have tonight
Thanks for playing
What's behind curtain number three?
Tell 'em, Davey
A shiney new eternity
It's just a shame you'll never see
'Cause it's rigged against you
I'm just here to collect you
Now you're in Jeopardy
There's no running from me
How entertaining
If the Vice is Right
That's all the time we have tonight
Thanks for playing
No new car, no get away
Every star must fade away
For all to see
On daytime TV
Now you're in Jeopardy
There's no running from me
Thanks for playing
If the Vice is Right
That's all the time we have tonight
Thanks for playing

Our time is up
Or so the internet says
Fire and fury raining down
Not many minutes left
We really dropped the ball
Now they're screwing us all
It's been real
So long
Wait, there's still hope I think
Just wait, there's still time
Let's picture this a different way
As our fate unwinds
Maybe it's not the end of the world
Maybe we'll find some kind of silver line
And somewhere down it, we're bound to doubt it
But at least try to look on the bright side
Maybe it's not the end of the world
Just think of all those times you wish you
Had more time
Well, there's no one waiting on you now
You're one of few still left around
No more laws to follow
Not even biologically
So you look can look forward to all that personal growth
If you know what I mean, yeah
All that radiation
Will be the height of your vacation
Sickness never looked so sweet
Lounging on a toxic beach
Don't let the wasteland get you down
In excess
'Cause it's a nuclear winter
Now it's always gonna be Christmas
Maybe it's not the end of the world
Maybe we'll find some kind of silver line
And somewhere down it, we're bound to doubt it
But at least try to look on the bright side
Maybe it's not the end
I know that you're afraid of the approaching end of days
But we're gonna have a ball
And though you won't live too long, the senior centers have been bombed
So it's a win-win afterall
It's not so bad
It's not so bad
It's not so bad
It's not so bad, yeah
Maybe it's not the end of the world
Maybe we'll find some kind of silver line
And somewhere down it, we're bound to doubt it
But at least try to look on the bright side
Maybe it's not the end of the world

I fell out of a plane and I lived
I would very much like to recommend it
Except for the fact that then I couldn't brag
Because everyone else would do it
It's just so great being me
And you could never ever understand it
You can have your moment to shine, just don't detract from mine
Please pick something a little more average
You could say I'm a real go-getter
It's not that you suck, I'm just better
I did the thing
It was me
I did the thing
Only me
To not find this incredible
Is simply unacceptable
I did the thing
It was me
I did the thing
Look at me
My velocity is terminal
My coolness is incurable
I did the thing
