The Bigger the Lie
You only notice me when I’m not around
Been training all my life sleeping on the couch
Most of my friends don’t even know where I live
Ignored in prison with prison ignorance
Life isn’t the right environment for me
The dark horse hanging with all the black sheep
*I’ve never played in the graveyard
Never climbed to the sky, no
The more people will believe it
The bigger the lie
I’m telling you the truth
I’d rather be alone than to be ignored
Your cocksmanship helps put the “man” in manure
You know you cannot kill that which doesn’t care
When you’re elected as the king of nowhere
Repeat defenders have nightmares never told
A crisis actor traveling a dark road
*I’ve never played in the graveyard
Never climbed to the sky, no
The more people will believe it
The bigger the lie
*I’ve never played in the graveyard
Never climbed to the sky, no
The more people will believe it
The bigger the lie
Inward Kill
I tried to keep busy, busy wouldn’t let me keep her around
I tried to keep busy, so I wouldn’t go crazy this time around
But it’s gonna’ happen
You know it will
But it’s gonna’ happen…
This inward kill
*What was it you said to me that I believed in you?
If history will repeat, I’ll take a seat by you
And no one else
I tried to keep upbeat but beats were all you ever heard
I tried to move my feet and try to keep up with all of the absurd
But it’s gonna’ happen
You know it will
But it’s gonna’ happen…
This inward kill
*What was it you said to me that I believed in you?
If history will repeat, I’ll take a seat by you
And no one else
And no one else
No one’s left here anymore
*What was it you said to me that I believed in you?
If history will repeat, I’ll take a seat by you
Sodium Pentathlon
*Where were you going? Where will you hide?
It’s not easy knowing when there is no guide
Where were you going? Where will you hide?
From all the demons you’ve been dreaming to life
No peace from anything
No sleep could ever bring
The “real me” or so you say
That’s breaking on the 10th day
There’s still time for you to run
*Where were you going? Where will you hide?
It’s not easy knowing when there is no guide
Where were you going? Where will you hide?
From all the demons you’ve been dreaming to life
You know me, you think you do
Below me my future tomb
So sorry for everything
Don’t worry about anything
Let’s not pretend
This is the end
*Where were you going? Where will you hide?
It’s not easy knowing when there is no guide
Where were you going? Where will you hide?
From all the demons you’ve been dreaming to life
The “dyer’s” situation is dire
Get on your lies
Break all the ties
Sodium pentathlon
Go on and run, run from love
*Where were you going? Where will you hide?
It’s not easy knowing when there is no guide
Where were you going? Where will you hide?
From all the demons you’ve been dreaming to life
Warning Labels
I’ll be pushing the boulder up the same exact hill
Pass the plate for collection…same church, different pew
No longer buying the farm-renting or leasing will do less harm
Everyone’s an athiest up until the shooting starts
A little guilt goes a long way
Make a quilt if you have something say
You forgot one thing, to pay your dues
To get into the human race
To only belong to the ages
Would be a greater fate than death
As we used to turn the pages
Now we only try to impress
*How many “Likes” can I get?
How do I kill my regret?
I think warning labels are just suggestions
How many “Likes” can I get?
How do I kill my regret?
I think warning labels are just suggestions
I’m not chosen, I’m forgotten
You can only be so impressed with your own achievements
Before they kill you
*How many “Likes” can I get?
How do I kill my regret?
I think warning labels are just suggestions
How many “Likes” can I get?
How do I kill my regret?
I think warning labels are just suggestions
Warning labels are untold fables
How many likes can I get?
I’m not chosen, I’m forgotten
Heathens
by Tyler Joseph and Mike Elizondo)
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse
Welcome to the room of people
Who have rooms of people that they loved one day
Docked away
Just because we check the guns at the door
Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades
You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"
But after all I've said, please don't forget
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse
We don't deal with outsiders very well
They say newcomers have a certain smell
You have trust issues, not to mention
They say they can smell your intentions
You'll never know the freak show sitting next to you
You'll have some weird people sitting next to you
You'll think "How did I get here, sitting next to you?"
But after all I've said, please don't forget
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)
Wait for them to ask you who you know (watch it)
Please all my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now they're outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us
Constant-Deceased
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
You know it’s so, I know it’s so
If you know what leads you and what holds you back
You can choose the needs-you, wisdom chose the path
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
Embrace the change
If you know what feeds you, you won’t bite the hand
To be true with virtue, you can take a stand
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
What you are today are the thoughts of yesterday
Can you accept that we all have to change?
What you are today are the thoughts of yesterday
Can you accept that we all have to change?
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
You know everything, everything changes
Nothing remains without change
Everything we believe will have to change
Everything we believe will have to change
Everything we believe
Bed Rest is Boring
Healthy as a horse but sick as a dog
Cut the tree down at the source now you only have a log
*You only cut me down
Inside all day, I want out
Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas
Cut off the paws, and leaves from the trees
*You only cut me down
Inside all day, I want out
And now, you know how it feels
Bed rest is boring
Deprecipes
A groom that sleeps means a bride that weeps
Sitting at home making “Deprecipes”
A cup full of sorrow will help you believe
That you can cook up something to bereave
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving, everyone look at me!
Thoughts and prayers are with you
Let’s pretend we’re grieving, everyone feel for me!
I know that it’s hard to get through
After you found that you wanted the ring
You would become the flea market queen
A pinch of salt will just add to the dead
Eating the body, yet he loathes the bread
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving, everyone look at me!
Thoughts and prayers are with you
Let’s pretend we’re grieving, everyone feel for me!
I know that it’s hard get through
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving!
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving!
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving, everyone look at me!
Thoughts and prayers are with you
Let’s pretend we’re grieving, everyone feel for me!
I know that it’s hard get through
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving!
*Let’s pretend we’re grieving!
Exhale the past
When you got 1 eye, you gotta’ lead with confidence
Born with the “devil’s gene,” no one is innocent
Fake princes life a whisper from empty closed eyed kiss
My hell is someone’s heaven-lipstick Jesus/Devil bliss
He’d bitch if you hung him with a new rope, He’d bitch
*If you have a problem for every solution
I’ll just have to solve ‘em before the revolution
If you have a problem for every solution
I’ll just have to solve ‘em before the revolution
The only thing we have in common is me
Go on and watch the lions eating just to entertain
Times don’t change at all, the masses love to see the pain
Now the one’s before who felt it wear the lion’s mane
Proving if there was a God he never would create
Liberty dies with their applause, and sharpening of claws
*If you have a problem for every solution
I’ll just have to solve ‘em before the revolution
If you have a problem for every solution
I’ll just have to solve ‘em before the revolution
The only thing we have in common is me
They’re mistaking kindness for weakness again
Inhale the future, exhale the past
The only thing we have in common is me
Liberty dies with their applause
*If you have a problem for every solution
I’ll just have to solve ‘em before the revolution
If you have a problem for every solution
I’ll just have to solve ‘em before the revolution
Weeping Willow
The earth has given way, I think that she’s got something to say
I wish I might, I wish I may
Wake up to see another day
The weeping willow ain’t crying no more
She’s hardly breathing for us anymore
Are we preparing ourselves for a war?
I don’t think this is what she’s asking for
When one door closes, a coffin opens
The earth has given way, I think that she’s got something to say
The weeping willow ain’t crying no more
She’s hardly breathing for us anymore
Are we preparing ourselves for a war?
I don’t think this is what she’s asking for
I can’t breathe at all, quarantine for all
I can’t breathe at all, quarantine for all (can’t breathe)
The weeping willow ain’t crying no more
She’s hardly breathing for us anymore
Are we preparing ourselves for a war?
I don’t think this is what she’s asking for
I can’t breathe at all, quarantine for all

Arson of a bitch
we know who set the fire…
everyone of you
we know who let the liars…
kill the truth
and now it won’t be long
to feel the new decay
and now it won’t be long
this fire burns away
*everything that we ever loved
everything that we’d ever hate
now we blame
$ arson of a bitch…you know it’s me
no more hiding…from…
x2
we know who set the fire…
everyone of you
why’d you have to kill?
*repeat
$repeat
lit up now
now we blame
$repeat
​
Shoulders
how many times could I
try to lie and say I’m alive?
how many times should I
keep up this act and try?
*with the weight of the world
$ up on my shoulders
I should have told her
x2
goodbye
how many times should I
keep to myself my war cry?
how many times could I
when I could simplify?
*repeat
$repeat
goodbye to everyone
goodbye
*repeat

​
Heart Roulette
*what you think and what you know
are not the same but you can’t let go
of what you think that what you know
can’t be the same but it will show
X2
$ four chambers or six
if you take the heart, I’ll take the risk
behind these eyes
you’ll realize
that behind these lies
you’ll despise
of what you think that what you know
can’t be the same but it will show
X2
$repeat chorus
you’ve got to get it all out
but you’ve been running your mouth
you have to get it all out
but that’s not what you’re about X2

$repeat chorus

Hostage
you drank the potion to feel the motion
if you get in, you’re never getting out
laid to rest or getting laid just to rest
the unabashed name tag whore now
! Jesus didn’t know the year, it’s not who said it first
but who said it loud enough to pierce your ears
*if you’ve got something to sell me
why don’t you just tell me so that I can switch?
if you’ve got something to show me
act like you still know me, make me your hostage
you put a dollar in the change machine but nothing ever changes
no one’s at the missing person’s office and the dog with no hair tells you what mange is
the dog trained the scientist by having him ring the bell
we’ve allotted one day for training walking tall on your eggshells
! Jesus didn’t know the year, it’s not who said it first
but who said it loud enough to pierce your ears
*if you’ve got something to sell me
why don’t you just tell me so that I can switch
if you’ve got something to show me
act like you still know me, make me your hostage
Come on and release me

Cliff Diver
buckle up, get yourselves strapped in
knuckle grip all the way to the end
hold on for the ride
turn it up till you can’t even hear
don’t look back we’re the only ones here
let’s fly…let’s dive
*can you see me go?
where I’ll end up who knows
I just know I’m never coming back to you
can you see us go?
where we’ll end up, who knows
we just know we’re never coming back to you
pedal down till you push through the floor
metal drowns when the road is no more
we’re goin’ on for the ride
flying’ high, no need for no wings
gorgeous night, let it out go and sing
until they have to hear us
*repeat
*repeat
and we’re taking off
we’re leaving now
we’re making off
with a dollar amount
of nothing
cuz we don’t need
anything from anyone
anywhere…anymore
Livin’ on the edge (Aerosmith Cover)
There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It sure ain't no surprise, yeah
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
There's something wrong with the world today
The light bulb's getting dim
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I, oh
Living on the edge
(You can't help yourself from falling)
Living on the edge
(You can't help yourself at all)
Living on the edge
(You can't stop yourself from falling)
Living on the edge
(Everybody, everybody)
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation
Is getting to you, yeah
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling
Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again, and again, and again, and again, and again
Yeah, tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation
Is getting to you
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling
Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again, and again, and again, and again
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on
Living on the edge
(You can't help yourself from falling)
Living on the edge
(You can't help yourself at all)
Living on the edge
(You can't stop yourself from falling)
Living on the edge
(Everybody, everybody)
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Get talkin' to me
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself from falling
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Living on the edge
You can't stop yourself from falling
Living on the edge
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Living on the edge
You can't help yourself at all

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Honor Amongst Thieves
what’s your stereotype?
I wanna’ hear everything I can
what’s your love life like?
and does it come with a pension plan?

while your honesty’s dying

Quid Pro Quo
yet still I know your eyes give you away
yet still I know it’s just your way to say
yet still I know you can think for yourself
yet still I know what you want and I can tell
*c’mon, c’mere, the coast is clear, don’t be so shy
no need to fear, c’mon, c’mere, I’m not like those other guys
c’mon, c’mere, you know you like me, I know it’s true
just like that, now I can teach you
yet still I know you’re not that innocent
yet still I know I thought this is what you meant
yet still I know how to pick alibis
yet still I know, let’s just go on with our lives
*repeat chorus
you know…that you brushed me on my way by
you know…that you gave me the eye
*repeat chorus

all the girlies hate you so
reverse how the story goes
to turn around the quid pro quo
​
Let Go
it’s hard not to dwell on the past
when you would go change the path
if you could only go back
you’d pick the moment that’s now at hand
!it’s better to travel well than to arrive
it can get better still, so let’s take a drive
*out on the open road
still with no place to go
why was I never told?
this is something I should’ve known
out on the open road
still with no place to go
why was I never told?
I should’ve known it long ago
$ but they kept it a secret from me
you kept it a secret because you were scared I’d leave
better one thing that can bring you peace
than a thousand empty things
what if we became just what we think?
then maybe we all will win
! it’s better to travel well than to arrive
it can get better still, so let’s take a drive
*out on the open road
still with no place to go

REcoiled
last night told everything about my life
I can ask you all your favorite place to go
but when the question comes around
my answer won’t be found
because no one asked me
no one cared to know just what I think
no one ever has
no one ever asked
*this conversation now is over
I’ll be absent, far removed away from nowhere
this conversation now is over
I’ll be fine, hangin’ out with my new hangover
last night told everything about my life
I can ask you all your very favorite things
but when the question comes around
I’m left out of the crowd but that’s alright…that’s alright with me
but in the silence there’s a sound
and the walls, it will tear down
in the past, we
always acted like we cared
still here lyin’ on the ground
naked king still has his crown
*this conversation now is over
I’ll be absent, far removed away from nowhere
this conversation now is over
I’ll be fine hangin’ out with my new hangover
could you act like you cared?
just one moment to spare?
this conversation now is over…
*this conversation now is over
I’ll be absent, far removed away from nowhere
this conversation now is over
I’ll be fine hangin’ out with my new hangover

War Dodger
where you going, Insane?
we’re still playing your old games
moving pieces for your sake
it’s hard to be real when you’re fake
*me of little faith in my employer

$ I could’ve found a better way
or maybe found a better war to stay away from x2
now
who you talking to these days?
just people that decide who stays
*repeat

now
I could’ve stayed away from you x4

We built this city (Starship Cover)
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember?
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares, they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember?
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
It's just another Sunday in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh, then we just lost the beat
Who counts the money underneath the bar?
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars?
Don't tell us you need us 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
Don't you remember? (Remember)
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember?
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
We built, we built this city, yeah (Built this city)
We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city yeah (Built this city)
We built, we built this city
We built, we built this city yeah (Built this city)
We built, we built this city (Built this city)

Going

Going dizzy again
(you know you’re going dizzy again)
you’re going dizzy again
(you know you’re going dizzy again)
I just keep spinnin’ around
you just keep spinnin’ around
*but if you’re tired and far from home
look inside, you know you’re not alone
but if you like, you should know
that I’m here for you if you ever feel that you need to go
*if you’re tired and far from home
look inside, you know you’re not alone
but if you like, you should know
that I’m here for you if you ever feel that you need to go

Quid Pro Quo
yet still I know your eyes give you away
yet still I know it’s just your way to say
yet still I know you can think for yourself
yet still I know what you want and I can tell
*c’mon, c’mere, the coast is clear, don’t be so shy
no need to fear, c’mon, c’mere, I’m not like those other guys
c’mon, c’mere, you know you like me, I know it’s true
just like that, now I can teach you
yet still I know you’re not that innocent
yet still I know I thought this is what you meant
yet still I know how to pick alibis
yet still I know, let’s just go on with our lives
*repeat chorus
you know…that you brushed me on my way by
you know…that you gave me the eye
*repeat chorus
you love to shake and show
all the girlies hate you so
reverse how the story goes
to turn around the quid pro quo

War Dodger
where you going, Insane?
we’re still playing your old games
moving pieces for your sake
it’s hard to be real when you’re fake
*me of little faith in my employer
if you put “war” in “warrior”
$ I could’ve found a better way
or maybe found a better war to stay away from x2
now
who you talking to these days?
just people that decide who stays
*repeat
$repeat
now
I could’ve stayed away from you x4
*repeat
I could’ve stayed away from you x4
Sink or Run
If no one gets out of here alive
why have we all been wasting our time?
*who would’ve thought those years ago
we’d see the death of all we’d know x2
I’m going’ back to the drawing board
to come up with what cannot be ignored
*repeat
$it’s time to sink or run…sink or run
how did we let it happen…should we have known?
how did we let it happen…those years ago?
who would’ve thought those years ago
we’d see the death of all we know
we’d see the death of rock ’n roll

Watermelon Sugar
Tastes like strawberries
On a summer evenin'
And it sounds just like a song
I want more berries
And that summer feelin'
It's so wonderful and warm
Breathe me in
Breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
I'm just thinking out loud
I don't know if I could ever go without

I want your belly
And that summer feelin'
Getting washed away in you
Breathe me in
Breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
