You can’t escape my influence An audience to impress Let me lay this all to rest You’ll be my captive audience You’ve got to hear me out It was never my intent to kill You’ve got to hear me out How cruel, how cruel to bend you to my will You’ve got to hear me out

Main Squeeze 02:47
I’m just a sad boy in an orchard Existence is torture To know that you’re not with me I’ve got to see you, got plans tonight? Let’s run around in the pale moonlight You’ll be, be my main squeeze It seems the summer heat's fled these days I shiver, a lovelorn haze As rain drips down the leaves You'd think my toil ends as the sun goes down But that's when I head into town To see, see my main squeeze In dreams, I see us dancing slow Your hand on my chest so you know Each beat for you, it cannot rest But my tears I’ll hide behind a mask I’ve got to see you, got plans tonight? Let’s run around in the pale moonlight You’ll be, be my main squeeze In dreams, I see us dancing slow Your hand on my chest so you know Each beat for you, I cannot rest But my tears I’ll hide behind a mask I’m just a sad boy in an orchard Existence is torture To know that you’re not with me I want to reach out these gnarled hands And supplicate to your demands I'll be, be your main squeeze In dreams, I see us dancing slow

Ooo la la-aa, learn to kiss Embarrassing to say the least A secret of which I’m quite displeased When puppy love takes hold, people end up deceased So baby try to take it slow Let your arms pull me in close Whisper things to me, standing nose to nose Show me where my hands should sit Explain the way you purse your lips And baby, please don’t tell your friends how I learned to kiss Ooo la la-aa, learn to kiss Oh my love, I fear the day that you’ll turn and run away I can’t seem to figure how to make them stay So many others left me here The pain would be too much to bear, no paramours for this girl to scare Show me where your hands now sit No explanation while your throat is slit And now you’ll never tell your friends how I learned to kiss Ooo la la-aa, learn to kiss

A lonely wind rustles the leaves Its mournful voice speaking to me “She comes, she comes ever closer Accompanied by ones who love her” The owls above communicate their plans We watch as the ritual demands But this girl's different, I can't sit by As she and her companions die Are we surprised to hear him say the words you dread? “Let’s split up” My run-down post ain’t much to see But there's not much harbingers need They say, they say I’m half a man But that can change by a touch of your hand The owls above communicate their plans We watch as the ritual demands But this girl's different, I can't sit by as she and her companions die Are we surprised to hear him say the words you dread? “Let’s split up” You’re safe with me, but as for him, he’s dead And that’s why we won’t split up

Calling my baby, no word from her lately I’ll serenade your dial-tone since you won’t pick up the phone I’m so alone Climb to your window, I feel like a weirdo I’m not some ghost-faced psycho, just gotta say so you know Once hot, our love’s grown cold Red hands on rotary, operator operator! Your friends hanging from trees, operator operator! I’m just killing time, waiting on a sign Who knows what we’ll find at the end of the line? Having a party, I’m gonna make you see Up the stairs we shall go, I’m stuck to you like Velcro We’re all alone Screams from the TV are making it easy We’ll slice and dice no one knows, this party’s like a warzone Silence chills to the bone Red hands on rotary, operator operator! Your friends hanging from trees, operator operator! I’m just killing time, waiting on a sign Who knows what we’ll find at the end of the line? High school party time, teenagers are dying Gonna make her mine before I cut the line

Oh baby, I was a man I was the man for you But try as hard as I might, I just couldn’t do right This poor polished pup would never do So maybe, I can find my way back Guided by full moon’s light Any excuse to howl Give me any excuse So lately, I’m on the prowl My feral charms will not be denied My territory’s marked, I’m all bite no bark These rugged good looks will bring a tear to your eye Don’t hate me, it’s just one of them little love-bites Breathing slow as your skin grows cold I feel the heat Shimmers in the moon’s glow My memory’s fuzzy and so is my hide Rev up my engine, I’m ready to ride Cruise the strip, flashing lights Check the rearview, I nearly died Any excuse to howl Give me any excuse

Well a long time ago, I loved another’s bride We sought to rule as one But caught, we couldn’t leave Vision denied They took from me my humanity Her life cut short as my organs dried Cursed to live eternally Cast out to walk the sand Years and years no sleep Dried up, a husk of a man Years and years repeat Still I wait, wait for you I’ll wait forever There’s room in this sarcophagus for two I’ve got a hunger but no means to satisfy Just emptiness, no heart or soul Until the stars align I’ve got no faith to spare til you are made whole Shifting dunes shall reveal a cutthroat sunrise The dawn of our deathless reign Cast out to walk the sand Years and years no sleep Dried up, a husk of a man Years and years repeat Still I wait, wait for you I’ll wait forever There’s room in this sarcophagus for two There’s room for you
8.
Left the lagoon Searching for swells I stole your board Next time your girl Low tide! At low tide I lurk I’ve the got the moves To stay on top I’ll show the world My monster surf style Low tide! At low tide I lurk All signs ignored, all signs ignored One more curl for your girl

Feel Alive 04:11
An idle look from you, I’d forsake the grave A simple touch, I fear I’d go insane This sentiment just won’t die You make me feel alive Eyes, blue like the sky after rain My pulse wakes for you, I now feel the pain Could I reach out and brush your cheek, so warm Transfer some rigor to my mort It’s hard to tell you how I feel It’s been so long these lips have been sealed An idle look from you, I’d forsake the grave A simple touch, I fear I’d go insane This sentiment just won’t die, You make me feel alive What I would give to feel your lips touch mine Resuscitate me, I need your breath inside If only I could shake off this dust I’d wrap you in my arms and entomb your trust My ribcage has been cracked If I gave you my heart would you give it back Or would you keep it til the end of time? My love has been secret, hidden these long years It's drowning me in this crystal lake of tears You scream in fear, dismay My dear, I can’t let you slip away An idle look from you, I’d forsake the grave A simple touch, I fear I’d go insane This sentiment just won’t die, You make me feel alive

Bodies on their backs, ragged breath in the darkness Curious fingertips navigate the hem of your dress Drive on past Make-Out Point What you wanna do out there? You’ll cry at Make Out Point If you were smarter, you'd be scared Drive on past Make Out Point All young lovers should beware You’ll die at Make Out Point Did not heed the warning, parked on this road to nowhere Love stuffed in the backseat, smash the window, take you by the hair Bodies on their backs, steaming blood soaks into my mask Curious fingertip paints a heart upon your dash Drive on past Make-Out Point What you wanna do out there? You’ll cry at Make Out Point If you were smarter, you'd be scared Drive on past Make Out Point All young lovers should beware You’ll die at Make Out Point

I couldn’t imagine lasting this long A graveyard for students inside college halls These drunken shindigs, the alcohol flows I’m offing dumb co-eds but nobody knows I’m sick of their faces, it’s time for a change All these urban legends have made me deranged It’s punishment for recklessness Your mangled bodies I doubt will be missed You took my love’s life, oh you did, yes you did The gleam of my knife, it’s morbid, so morbid I’ll run slowly it down your spine To hell we go this dark night You false academics, skipping every class You perch every night on the lip of a glass The breaths you take are not your own Your heartbeat’s a timer I’ll cleave from the bone This cold steel, an axe that I’ve long yearned to grind A mouthful of bleach couldn’t cleanse your insides Each drop of blood my recompense We’re all murderers here, let’s drop the pretense You took my love’s life, oh you did, yes you did The gleam of my knife, it’s morbid, so morbid I’ll run slowly it down your spine To hell we go this dark night This party’s dead, yeah yeah This party’s dead, ooo so sad
