I need
I need necessity
I want
I want celebrity
I won't
Won't have to kill a man
Unless
That is a part of the plan
I am
I am not a nihilist
I'd do
All to be a part of this
I'm not
I am not a fatalist
All things
Happen at the flick of a wrist
I'll do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes to be on top of the world
I need
I need celebrity
I want
I want the accolades
I won't
Won't have it any other way
I am
I am not a narcissist
I'd do
Anything to part with this body
Make my spirit cold 'til the path that I've taken the rats down is gold
I'll do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes to be on top of the world
I am
I am all alone in this
I've got
I've got no control of this
Life I've
Siphoned from the higher-ups
I don't
I don't need your politics
Why loan
My good will to bottomless problems?
If I can't look at the sky up above then I'll drag you all to hell with me
I'll do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes to be on top of the world

The Honored One
03:48

On your planet
Your feats were valiant
But off your turf, you'll know the hunger of the beast, unending
There's no escaping it
You foolish sapien
Under breath you'll curse the spoils in which you have partaken
I was the honored one
But I still fell through the rabbit hole again
In the garden
Your lot was plentiful
But here the soil will not break to host the seed of any man
As for companionship
The witch will guide you forth
Grasp her wrinkled hands, and dance into the mouth of evil
I was the honored one
But I still fell through the rabbit hole
I still fell through the rabbit hole
I still fell through the rabbit hole again
Again
We lay to rest your soul
We lay to rest your soul
Relinquish all control
I was the honored one
But I still fell through the rabbit hole again

Cog
05:18

Sometimes it hurts
To know
That all the world's a stage
And everything's rehearsed
Sometimes it helps
To let go
Your mouth can hold a smile
No matter how you lurch
Always we fall
To stand
We choke, and then we chant
A mantra of rebirth
Alive again
We pretend
The cycle never ends
And that's just the way things work
But sometimes
I like to feel
I'm just a cog in the wheel
And sometimes
It's nice to know
I'm just a cog in the wheel
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel
Sometimes it hurts
To know
That every good woman cheats on me
(With her significant other)
Once a month at least
And when it's hard
To breathe
It helps to know if I pass right out
I'll finally get some sleep
Oh, Lord, it's hard
To seek
A knowledge to be obsolete
Beyond our century
And when it's hard
To exist
It helps to know I'll die
Depending on the afterlife
But sometimes
I like to feel
I'm just a cog in the wheel
And sometimes
It's nice to know
I'm just a cog in the wheel
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
And sometimes
I like to feel
I'm just a cog in the wheel
Sometimes
It's nice to know
I'm just a cog in the wheel
