You would call me evil? Is that what you would say?
The world is evil in the most boring way
A single sip of pain
Bright behind the eyes
a single sip of pain
Comes as no surprise.
I'm happy to be the villain you need.
It's not borne of cruelty
Does the lion, the gazelle despise?
It's just the order of things
It's how we organize
So we dance this dance
The game intensifies
Catch me if you can
The time is nigh
I'm happy to be the villain you need.

I've seen your work
Two of a kind
"Dare I?"... it's true.
I don't believe,
you'd tell them
even if you knew
Avid!
some things i'd...
Avid!
like to show you...
your Avid fan...
Avid!
BECOMING Avid!
BECOMING Your avid fan.
I've heard them talk
unfair reviews
don't know the man
slinging nicknames
scandalous rumors
just because they can.
Avid!
until then...
Avid!
I remain
your Avid fan...
Avid!
BECOMING Avid!
BECOMING Your avid fan.
YOU OWE ME AWE.

Eat The Rude

Your attention!
Stop, look and listen
This message I must impart
fair warning, the fine is
I consume your heart
Is it necessary to be so uncouth?
uncouth
boorish behavior
masquerading as truth
I eat the rude
Furthermore!
in case I was unclear
or you chose to ignore
you made your decision
the path is chosen
consequences in store
some people are better served than heard
it's true, small solace, but a truth
call it thinning the herd

Your better nature
Your bitter side
Your bitter nature
Your better side
No reason to call for help
you'll be dead before they arrive
it's his bad luck to be the best
you caught me because we're just alike
A murder house is ugly to the neighbors
We don't invent our natures
We don't invent our natures
What is it in itself, in its own constitution ?
What is its casual nature?
What does he do? The man you want?
I've given very serious thought,
serious thought to eating your wife
We don't invent our natures
We don't invent our natures
Your better nature
Your bitter side
Your bitter nature
Your better side
And there’s the brutal truth,
Something with which you can't hide
People don't tell you what they think,
They see that you don't advance in life
A murder house is ugly to the neighbors
We don't invent our natures
We don't invent our natures

I do admire your courage
I think I'll eat your heart.
Why fight it?
We all play our parts
To your surprise, We're just alike
That's how you caught me
Convenient lies, Controversialize, Salacious rumors
I still admire your courage
But you stink of fear
Why fight it?
Believe what you hear
Power satisfies, this is your design
It's beautiful in its own way
When you feel strain, please refrain, just keep your mouth shut
We live in a primitive time
Neither savage nor wise
Not wise
In a time neither savage, nor wise.
Half measures
are the curse of it

Quid Pro Quo

Oh! He's a monster
But he could crack the case
What is he after?
He controls her fate
You tell me things
Give me a taste
Prepare your answer
Somewhere she waits.
What would you offer?
What would you say?
For the information?
What would you trade?
Quid pro quo
Don't you lie or else I'll know
Quid pro quo
quid pro quo
the needle moves, but it moves too slow
Yeah, he's a monster
But he's got what we need
The distress excites him
Beware the webs he waves
Honey in the lion
Prehensile and deep sleeved
I will not fault you for trying
But what is in it for me?
Yes, it's a trade off
An equal exchange
It's a variation
On a very old game.

Monoamine Oxidase, inhibitors... don't you know?
The worst part about telling a joke is watching it sail past the normal folks.
When the fox hears a rabbit scream, he comes a running but not to help, no.
I ate his liver with some fava beans, and a nice chianti
Don't test me, don't test me, don't test me, don't test me.
Endless rude questioning, nothing worse than being a bore now.
Would not suggest testing me, didn't work so well for the last one.
When the fox hears a rabbit scream, he comes a running but not to help, no.
I ate his liver with some fava beans, it was an amarone.
i've never seen anything so clear, what comes next may shock you.
All good things to those that wait, i've waited longer than you know.
I'll see you on the other side
i'll see you on the other side

Wound Man

Pierced and lonesome
a simple diagram
to be the downfall
To seek to understand
oooh, oooh, oooh the Wound Man
Amusing in hindsight
that it would be the sign
I'll tear up your chance
before I lose mine
oooh, oooh, oooh the Wound Man
Our scars have
the power to remind
that the past was real.
and not always kind
oooh, oooh, oooh the Wound Man
Amusing in hindsight
that it would be the sign
I'll tear up your chance
before I lose mine

We rarely get to prepare
in meadows or in graveled walks
It's hospital corridors
where we're forced to talk.
Rooms like this with so little time,
prepare our gestures get them right.
The monster speaks
But he is not wrong
Everyone has the hymn book
Nobody knows the song
It's a marathon, it's not a race,
Before you die, you will see my face
The Doctor will see you now.

Memory Palace

You would seek to debase me
I'm not here
I'm nowhere you can see
Your uncouth behavior
No availability
No room In my palace of memory
Memory! Memory!
You are miles from here, with petty axes to grind
you are not welcome, in the palace of my mind.
Memory! Memory! Memory!
Method of Loci, art of memory
every smell, every taste, friend and enemy
every scene, as far as I can see
it's all here in my palace of memory
Memory! Memory!
You are miles from here, with petty axes to grind
you are not welcome, in the palace of my mind.
Memory! Memory! Memory!

Chair of Antlers

It's the plight that drives you
Suck down the pain
Yes, you should run now.
Let it wax and wane
It's like a chair of antlers
A salve against the mundane
No forts for what you love
Flows like a water main
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Grotesque but useful
comes at a high price
from hell and back now
scars with the right eyes
it's like a chair of antlers
which one is more insane
no forts for what you love
flows like a water main
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
Chair! Chair of Antlers!
