Terminal 1 00:42
[Instrumental]
2.
You know, for a minute there I lost, I lost myself Actually, if I'm being honest It was more like a couple of weeks Has enough time passed That we can talk about the past With something resembling objectivity? They'll get you cornered They'll get you scared Then they'll strike up the symphony Look out! It's always student night At the blood bank Come for the civic pride Stay for the imitation orange drink
3.
This is the end of the world and everything in it Ah, who am I kidding? You and I both know the only way the world ends Is slowly And in flames Took a few months off Thought hard about never going back Ain't like any of you thought I even had it to lose Hate to burst your bubble Hate to clip your wings But a brighter future for humanity, friends That's just not a possible thing Now there's a portal opening up in the sky It's raining insects It's raining ash The ground beneath your feet begins to shake When did I start relating to the guys Buying blowjobs on the side? Maybe around the same time I surrendered unconditionally
4.
Fear Eternal 03:35
This fear eternal Can't seem to scrub it off my soul In case it wasn't obvious I'm not the one you want talking you down from the ledge And I don't give a damn, Cassandra If you think I'm good or kind or smart I'm not trying to build a socialist utopia I just want my body to inspire lust What is this some kinda cosmic joke? For fifteen years now I've been stuck in this hole Forced to make conversation With all of you bottom-feeders Now I'm banging my head Against the great beyond Used to be a dreamer Boy, was I ever wrong Praise be to the almighty algorithm Why is it always such a... Trial by fire Every time I step outside Past bleak strangers Barren tundra Through the white noise of time Until death or her master Puts an end to my wicked life No matter where I look All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see is blight All I see

Terminal 2 01:20

Slander 02:09
Never liked you Only pretended In fact, I made Every effort To contaminate your name Just for kicks So if you insist On haunting the ruins of our old social scene Well I won't be the one to stop you By the way By the way I was lying when I said You were nothing Like your mother None of this is going to work out the way you imagined If you have to ask then you already know I've been seeking out new territories of abandon Every since you left me low
7.
Get your hands off me, man I didn't do nothing to nobody Those kinds of hijinks really ain't my style At my worst, I'm a narcissistic pervert That's just what happens when you grow up In the chatrooms of the damned These ugly rumours They seem to follow me everywhere Like the sapphire eyes of God I beg you, brother Take no heed of false testimony I swear on the life of my firstborn son I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust I'm a voice you can trust Through the heart of this heathen country I drive like a burning spear The cold hand of the future On my back On my back On my back
8.
It was worse than I let on Those black months Ransacked the house of my mind A midsummer sucker punch Like a rainbow trout I was gutted Glazed in butter Garnished with parsley And a lemon slice In your honest opinion Which television actor Do I most resemble? Come on now, don't be shy Just say the first name that comes to mind My mom thinks I look like Anthony Edwards What an ugly stare What a Yukon winter This despair that lives Inside of our blood Why can't we all just get along? I mean, I can think of one or two pretty obvious reasons Hallelujah All is well Your debt forgiven Your sickness healed No more boredom No more blood The stranger beckons From beyond
