The Zombie 03:27
I, I thought a lot about you when I met with you that night Ya there were pleasantries but something just did not seem right Intelligence used to spark your eyes, it set you apart from the other guys Now you're staring into the space, the emptiness filling your face You, you made my common sense seem like a waste of time, like you You could have been so much better for me, but I knew There was no escaping it: the rock, the void, the monolith Somebody played a trick on you, now you walk the world forever doomed A sad and frustrated reminder of yourself And now it seems that you went away Your mind is gone, but your body stays Just a dead and rotting shade of what you were I keep telling myself that you'll end up fine I knew it'd be impossible to get to you at all You were in way too deep you couldn't even fall

Oxidation 02:54
My mind is showing me all the one way roads to take Each one more promising than the last one, but I'll sit and wait And by the way I wonder why we never ever got too far And for me that's the only problem so far A moment passes and my patience is wearing thin Another day drips by with hesistency From where I'm standing, ya, I'm my own worst enemy Self destruction irresistible, purposely You know what I'm talking about I always turn to you whenever times get tough (get tough) The broken pieces of my will dissolve to rust (to rust) Where there's a will then there's a way, that's to be sure (be sure) Just tell me which way to get out of here Tell me how, tell me now

Back 03:51
I need a little bit of your help from time to time To alleviate the pressure in my mind Responsibilities and self doubt got me down Feels like I'm digging just to hear the sound I never thought things could get better at all I was feeling death before the fall Like a prophet always going it alone I needed you to help me atone And there's never been a single thing that you couldn't do Show me the difference between the false and true Whenever I need guidance you're always there Anytime, any place, maybe anywhere I never thought things could get better at all I was feeling death before the fall Like a prophet always going it alone I needed you to help me atone You brought me back to the loved ones in my life I was living social suicide You stayed the fall of a broken, lonely soul What was it that you said to me That our isolation is imaginary

Blaster Arm 03:46
Metallic red, neon blue These are the colors I can shoot at you Absorb your strengths, bind you tight Too bad you don't have super flight But if you did, I could still take you Now, I would shoot you down with super glue You want to fight me, first hear melody I have a blaster arm And it's going to cause you harm Watch your head my name is Fred, You're getting your ass laser-blasted. Get back up, pathetic being Acting like you have a messed up spleen Turn my back, and then go figure It's a cheap shot at the Tommy Hilfiger Sweater I used to conceal the only weapon that I yield You're too slow, baby, dodge, dodge, dodge And I shoot back at your ah-ha-ha! I have a blaster arm And it's going to cause you harm Watch your head my name is Fred, You're getting your ass laser-blasted.

Yes 04:46
Smoothing out the seams, and the wrinkles in my dreams The doubts are billowing, I'm hesitating But your eyes are beckoning while my heart's palpitating Your hands reach out, I'm breaking down Say goodbye to what's gone And say yes to my song 'Cos you know where I belong is in your arms It'll only take one thing to drive me mad So don't feel bad when I throw away everything I had Denial that's proving, it's ever consuming I'm trying to keep my distance, but I only know persistence These winds aren't carrying with the will to compromise Gone in the blink of an eye Say goodbye to what's gone And say yes to my song 'Cos you know where I belong is in your arms It'll only take one thing to drive me mad So don't feel bad when I throw away Time's a wasting, so I'm bracing To be facing what I've been chasing And my mind's racing, and my heart's pacing Over this fucking rapture I'm now embracing Say goodbye to what's gone And say yes to my song 'Cos you know where I belong is in your arms It'll only take one thing to drive me mad So don't feel bad when I throw away everything I had For you... Time's a wasting, so I'm bracing To be facing what I've been chasing Ya my mind's racing, and my heart's pacing Over this fucking rapture I'm now embracing So I'm smoothing out the seams And the wrinkles in my dreams The doubts are billowing and I'm hesitating It'll only take one thing to drive me mad So don't feel bad when I throw away everything I had
