When you find your motivation is an exercise in pain And the rehabilitation will most surely be in vain You take that ride, you pay the price And you come to the conclusion that you won't get out alive This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride So you hear a little story about nothing more to tell And the sorry little bitches drowning in the wishing well I took that ride, I lost my mind And I finally realized that it was all a waste of time This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride All in all, it's tit for tat, you'll come out fine 'Cause your shit looks good through the looking glass Fuck all this and fuck all that, silly hat Pull that rabbit out your ass Intellectual property Two for you and none for me So take that ride to the winning streak The noose goes 'round your neck while you turn the other cheek This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride This is my elephant Ride, motherfucker, ride This is my

Grind, grind, grind your knuckles to the bone There's hardly nothing left to bag up and ship home So dig, dig, dig and try to not get hurt If you don't finish dinner, you won't get no dessert Push, push, push while you're always running late The future, don't ask why, and it sure as hell won't wait So run, run, run, run as far as you can Good luck will turn around just as fast as it began Black out — access denied By any means, conquer and divide Black out — no compromise Gods will die when super stars collide Freedom divided by zero All hail the king of none Angel, winner and hero Dead, thy will be done Suck, suck, suck, swallow and smile As long as you fit in, it makes it all worthwhile Come on, come on, how low can you go? You don't need any other reason than "because I fucking say so" Black out — access denied By any means, conquer and divide Black out — no compromise Gods will die when super stars collide

Crawl through the sands of time, mind shut, eyes open wide Seven years of plenty as the darkness creeps inside Burn like the sign of the Southern Cross against black sky Five points, two circles and the decaying serpent's eye Angel of noise Promise you heaven Angel of noise Take you to hell In nomine, In nomine Sweep across the land, black death and pestilence arrive Climb aboard the sinking ship, the rotten one arise The power of black compels you, true tyrannicide Divine intervention as the spear pierces your side Angel of noise Promise you heaven Angel of noise Take you to hell Angel of noise Promise you heaven Angel of noise Take you to hell In nomine, In nomine Seed the world for me Make it grow for me Realize what's to come Make a path for me Set the stage for me There can be only one

I see the writing on the wall It's getting harder to ignore I see the sky is falling The other side is calling Bring me your tired and your poor I'll be the demon you adore I feel the world still turning All the while, my heart is burning Shuffled off this mortal coil You will become what you destroy Shuffled off this mortal coil You will become all you destroy Aborting countdown, the engine's gone This is the calm before the bomb Wish upon a fallen star A one-way trip to Shangri-La I am Becoming the abyss Becoming the abyss I am Becoming the abyss I am Becoming the abyss I am Becoming the abyss I am Becoming the abyss

This town ain't big enough for both of us And it's not me who's gonna leave There's not enough here for the two of us It doesn't matter what you think There can't be a rapture without sin You get what you're waiting for, hold on When the darkness creeps in You get what you're longing for, so long When the night closes in and the hunger begin The story seems to want to write itself but But we're running out of ink The ending credits are rolling by but The silly cast don't wanna leave There can't be a rapture without sin You get what you're waiting for, hold on When the darkness creeps in You get what you're longing for, so long When the night closes in and the hunger begin So now you see it, now you don't And this is everything you could want But now you see it, now you don't You know you should hold on, but you won't You get what you're waiting for, hold on When the darkness creeps in You get what you're longing for, so long When the night closes in and the hunger begin

You sacrifice your genius on the altar of ambition Completely unaccountable for whatever you may do You fake the unintentional to fit your disposition Painfully unreliable in whatever you pursue Put it all in a line, then knock it over Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now Here comes the thunder, crashing in Dragging you under, down, again Here comes the thunder, crashing in Seizing the wonder, let the end begin Improvising failed attempts at cutting down the dosage Meanwhile, your own family is taking you to court Yesterday's convenient lies are still paying your mortgage Rock 'n' roll's not suicide, it's life support Put it all in a line, then knock it over Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now Put it all in a line, then knock it over Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now Here comes the thunder, crashing in Dragging you under, down, again Here comes the thunder, crashing in Seizing the wonder, let the end begin

Don't ask me how I feel I might be driving, but my hands aren't on the wheel Please don't ask me what I know I'm just a passenger with nowhere left to go So close your eyes and say goodbye The love will last us forever, baby Please don't ask me what I see There's more than meets the eye, but nothing to believe The winding ride, the hollow sky You gotta learn to read between them crooked lines So close your eyes and say goodbye The love will last us forever, baby Stay with me, eventually It all works out for the better Then we die So close your eyes and say goodbye The love will last us forever, baby Stay with me, eventually It all works out for the better Then we Another empire of dirt Unless you sell it, you don't know what it is worth The more I cut, the less I bleed Unless I question it, there's nothing to believe

It seems the problem has become the solution A lucky break turns to ball and chain The perfect moment, you can feel the conclusion Triumphantly burning through your veins So bury everything you know and dig as deep as you can All the while, you hope it never comes back again Miserably never ever, cross your heart and die All the while will last forever in your litany of lies It seems your story will survive the revision A lucky ride to new, blinding heights But, for a second, you can taste the incision Your heart's pulled out, and the world ignites So bury everything you know and dig as deep as you can All the while, you hope it never comes back again Miserably never ever, cross your heart and die All the while will last forever in your litany of lies The grand delusion has been depleted Ashes trickle down on the scattered remains of those who dare to believe Faith, the culture of deceit in despair with its own technology The past is a game, and language is the only noise history left behind Truth is salvation with some probability between zero and none Accept it as dead Bury everything you know and dig as deep as you can All the while, you hope it never comes back again Miserably never ever, cross your heart and die All the while will last forever in your litany of lies

It's too late for suicide, we've been dead for quite a while We don't look for cover when the bombers come in low We don't turn the other cheek, we're too brave to think we're free It's too late to let it go, we've been dead for quite a while Dance for me, strip away the pain You know the world is ending here tonight So dance for me, strip away the pain Don't you let me die alone tonight Tonight, everything will change tonight Tonight, everything will change tonight It's too late for suicide, we were dead from the very start We don't look for shelter when the siren starts to wail So be all that you can be, nihilist apostasy Sink your teeth into your tail, we've been dead for quite a while Dance for me, strip away the pain You know the world is ending here tonight So dance for me, love, strip away the pain And don't you let me die alone tonight Tonight, everything will change tonight Tonight, everything will change tonight You suffer for the artist, not for the art You pay to see the ending start Tonight, everything will change Tonight, everything will change Dance for me, strip away the pain You know the world is ending here tonight So dance for me, love, strip away the pain And don't you let me die alone tonight Tonight, everything will change Tonight, everything will change

Trapped beneath the noise, stuck in undertow I know it's the end of the road Still the gospel rage and the cold bloodflow I know What you see is what you get Nothing more and nothing less What you see is what you get No excuses, no regrets So hold on tight and don't forget What you see is what you get Cut from bleeding dreams, dust and shattered bones I know it's the end of the road Reality collides with the stardust in my eyes I know What you see is what you get Nothing more and nothing less What you see is what you get No excuses, no regrets So hold on tight and don't forget What you see is what you get And out of the black comes a small ray of light The light, I walk to the light I'm falling apart at the seams, but I'm here, so lonely The light goes away and it all turns to black So black, there's nothing blacker The life of a friend flashes by, but I'm still here, lonely What you see is what you get Nothing more and nothing less What you see is what you get No excuses, no regrets So hold on tight and don't forget What you see is all you get

This means nothing to me I am only a drop in the sea This means nothing to me My existence is only a dream to me This means nothing to me I'm as blind as the darkness I see This means nothing to me You will never be any more free than me Oh, that girl, I followed her And she led me to a dark, dark place Oh, that girl, I followed her Her and her polka dot dress, her polka dot dress This means nothing to me I just write as my consciousness bleed on me This means nothing to me I leave nothing behind as I leave Oh, this means nothing Oh, that girl, I followed her And she led me to a dark, dark place Oh, that girl, I followed her Her and her polka dot dress, her polka dot dress This will teach you to follow your dreams Like me Oh, that girl, I followed her And she led me to a dark, dark place Oh, that girl, I followed her Her and her polka dot dress Oh, that girl, I followed her And she led me to a beautiful place Oh, that girl, I followed her Her and her polka dot dress, her polka dot dress

Such a lovely misconception, laying naked in the dark The gesture is so genuine, it's sure to leave a mark If the chain's a little tighter than it ever was before You will understand that's what you get for being such a little whore You deserve so much better You deserve so much more Cut, cut, cut, the pain runs deeper than the crocodile can swim But there's a glimpse of fascination as the fat lady sings Her songs about the end of days and dignity deprived Because further down the river you'll be Lord of the Flies You deserve so much better You deserve so much more You deserve so much better You deserve so much more And as the crying wolf travels across the great divide A sudden change of scenery, and you're gobbling up the lies The vantage point is everything, and that's everything you see But the road to salvation runs through private property You deserve so much better You deserve so much more You deserve so much better You deserve so much more You deserve so much better You deserve so much more You deserve so much better You deserve so much more
