A TEXTBOOK TRAGEDY LYRICS

1. Appearance / Accuracies

2. Enjoying The Company Of Bears

Kill this notion
Everyone's dying
We must flee this island quickly
Look at us wasting precious seconds
Just push the weak aside They'll bleed out underwater
Run run run run run
Before you get your chance to meet the maker
You'd better give him reason
To guide you on your way home
And if you're in your Sundays best he'll let you in his chariot to ride along with Bacchus
Please God
They all gasped in time
Show us a sign
Bow before me
Brothers I am
Here to save you
Time is fleeting
For now you are the lucky ones
Pretend that this never happened I will lift you from this foul soil

3. Confessions Of A Teenage Grammar Queen

Last word
Clenched jaw
She'll be fine
Trophy scars
Spell that shit
She'll do fine
Come on baby
Win this for me
You're the best there ever was
Hush falls
Crowds dead
Oh shit
What have I done?
Prescription drugs these days
I just want to go home
But I can't because I'm so high that I killed every fucking person I know
(And now my throat is gushing blood)
Get me a doctor
There's no hope for anyone else
I'm a god-damn honor roll student
I correctly spelled all the words
Get me my trophy
And my crown and thrown
Before I die or sober up
I want to be well known
Is this what you wanted?
I brought home top prize
Are you as proud as you look
Despite the wounds gaping in your fucking chest?

4. Flatlining On Foreign Soil

Flatlining on foreign soil
The last words of your life misunderstood
You're gasping on the concrete
In a city where not one soul knows your name

5. Stay Classy, San Diego

Focus on the choir
They can't see you gasping for assistance
Sitting in the back row of a hall
That's free of windows
Blink twice if you hear me
This isn't real
Dreams mark our skin
I call this fiction
You had no reason
I watched you pull three birds out of mid flight
Snap their necks
So we'll all retreat in an attempt to save ourselves
From the massacre of the pirates
I'm blind now
But I can feel you brushing up against my side
With knives in both your hands
There's a reason for all of this
But you know I'm forgetful
Focus on the choir
They can't see you
They can't hear you
Your existence is a question
You're a question
There's no answer

6. Cynthia: A Mistress...

Cynthia
Why are you always screaming?
Tell your lies
Nobody believes you
Think this through
Are you sure you want this?
Are you sure you want to end on a violent note?
I know I do
Just sit still
I got a girl
She's out of this world
Yea she's electric
With disco curls
So bring your close friends
And party down
We've got a nice place
Come drink a round
Sour? Saint? Sour!
Cynthia
Come closer
I've always been a sucker for those vicious eyes
Now dim the house lights
And settle in for the show
The fourth floor looks just like a theatre
Now we're ready to go
see the angel with the cut wings
Lying on the pavement
Bleeding from the landing
Choking on her own teeth

7. ...A Cadaver

So leave the keys in the ignition
And turn the headlights off
Wait till' her body hits the ocean
From here all hope is lost
Blood on my hands (dead on the floor)
Finish it up (dead on the floor)
Make this shit quick (dead on the floor)
Anger's a bitch (dead on the floor)
Die a martyr
Death on my mind (watching her sink)
Fuck with my head (watching her sink)
This is a lie (watching her sink)
Romance, that bitch! (watching her sink)
Die a martyr
We all stand
We all fall
We all die
We all crawl
With no luck I will fall
With no luck I will crawl on my fucking knees
To the end, to the end
Countdown
Game time
One shot
So spin the bottle round and round
Drink up kids this one's on the house
And as the sirens near the street
My splattered blood will spell defeat

8. The Surgeons At Dawn

As we walk farther into this dark chasm
We begin to see the shadows waver just slightly
Like the unassuming players in an elaborate scheme
To dethrone the king and spill the blood of his allies
And as the water drains slowly into our boots
We can only assume that there will be a light at the end of this tunnel
But there is no need to fear because our fate is set in stone
And the air smells of death now
But we are comforted by the sound of our own black hearts beating in our chests
And the familiar itch of our skin
End my life
She screamed
I want to die now
(Pretend that this never happened I will lift you from this foul soil)

9. Dance, Nils, Dance!

Let me introduce myself doc
Take this sedative hold it off
My life seems to be wearing out
I am stuck in the same clothes
Smoke is rising it makes me sick
Listen close and you'll hear it scream
I am gonna get you
They say we always burn up quickly
But I
Will suffocate before
These flames engulf me
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
I cast the role I do insist you play the part
Raise the bodies
They will dance for you
Raise the bodies
They will dance for you
(So let's party)
Charred skin black bones I'm drunk when in Rome
Charred skin black bones sunlight take me home

10. Dorsia Reservation: Bateman / Allen

I'll be there shortly
Sit tight I won't be long
It's been a while since I've been home from work
I've got a confession to make I'm not the man you think I am
Let me explain
I have been employed for the past two years by a man who pays for murders to be carried out on people who betray him
He gives me their name and address I arrive and quickly finish them off without any hesitation or human emotion
I'm a killer
But not a liar
I'm just putting it all out there
Try to realize I'm a working man
We do what we do
We kill who we kill
Life is short
You're so sweet
Please understand
Now you know you can't tell not one soul
I need you
So this is how it ends
Stay with me I'll spare your life
It never should have come to this

11. The Ghost, The Priest, The End

They will never take us

we have escaped
but you / they have found again us
after a few times we have returned home
and we have seen some children
that played, they were our brothers
they were with our parents

[choir]

and you / they have discovered us
that escaped from the cops [3x]
they will never take us
we will escape forever
and they will never take us
