Verse:
I sat down to write this song, I figured it was about time
To get up off my ass and jot down a few lines.
When coming up with a subject I realized I had just one problem
Nothing rhymes with Nyarlathotep.
Chorus:
One thousand forms but not a single word.
Crawling chaos moves place to place, and
If you try to prove me wrong
I'll rearrange your fucking face.
Verse:
I should have known it from the start, but I guess you could call me lazy.
Just thinking about this rhyme has got me feeling pretty crazy.
If I should try to write it again there's one thing I'll keep in mind.
Write instead about Azathoth.

Bullshit!
00:45
|

A Section:
I don't know
Who I hate more
The unthinking masses
Or the apathetic majority.
B Section:
Who seem so willing to let them burn it all down
To preoccupied with their personal lives to give a shit.
Can't take two fucking seconds to turn off their TV's and find out who's fighting for them.
At least they've renewed House for another season.

Felix the Floater
01:28
|
|||
Chorus:
Oh Felix, my floater,
Rotten apple of my eye.
I'd like to take this time to say...
I'm so happy that you died.
Verse:
Felix was a shy one,
Not keen on introduction.
He made every honest effort to remain on my peripheral
To the point of self destruction.
Chorus
Verse:
Felix was the antsy type.
Never able to sit still.
I made every honest effort to set my sight on him, but
Could never get my fill.
Chorus
Outro:
Oh Felix! I hope he never leaves.
Oh Felix! To thine own self be true.
Oh Felix! I know he's bound to leave me.
As dead eye cells are apt to.

Verse:
I can't make breakfast in bed.
I'm told that I'm always right.
I can't help but complain, but
I still care.
Chorus:
I've never been the type to say 'I Love You' first
I have a tendency of screwing up when it counts, and
I know I'm the one who always starts the arguments, but
I'll never let you down.
Chorus
Verse:
I'm not so good at backing down.
I hate to help around the house.
I let stupid things out of my mouth, but
I still care.
Chorus
Bridge:
You'll never read about love
Like ours in fairy tales and the like.
You deserve so much more...
I'm still trying to get it right.
And I'm sorry
If things get out of hand
So please try to understand...
I'm not trying to hurt you.

For Science!
03:04
|
|||
Verse:
What wisdom could be wrought?
Without action only thought.
Warn me not of danger.
What I'll accomplish will be far greater.
Dared dream my own doom.
Reanimated sorrow from a tomb.
To prove my brilliance,
I'll unleash the aberrant.
Pre-Chorus:
Sweat, blood, and hours spent burning midnight oil.
It was a dreary night in November I beheld the accomplishment of my toil.
Chorus:
It's alive! (Oh what have I done?)
Oh horror! (This should not be!)
This creature... (It must not live!)
Curses! (It has gotten away...)
Verse:
What wisdom could be wrought?
With action, without thought.
I know now, of the danger.
Wish I'd known it sooner than later.
Brought about my own doom.
Reanimated sorrow from a tomb.
In light of my arrogance,
I'll end this aberrant.
Pre-Chorus:
Sweat, blood, and hours spent plotting my revenge.
My monster I'll dispunge. Justine I'll soon avenge.
Chorus:
It's alive! (Oh what have I done?)
Oh horror! (This should not be!)
This creature... (It must not live!)
Curses! (It has gotten away...)

Myself
00:48
|
|||
A Section:
You wonder why I don't teach?
You wonder why I even got my degree?
You wonder why I don't whore out my stupid songs?
It's pretty simple actually...
B Section:
I did it for myself. (Wo-oh-oh-oh!)
I did it for myself. (Wo-oh-oh-oh!)
I did it for myself, for myself, and nobody else.
I did it for myself...

The Weapon
03:24
|
|||
Verse:
Way back in 1945
Dr. Graham is sitting in his chair
Thinking about the weapon he's creating.
All the while his son is sitting near.
Suddenly there's a knock at the door.
The man there introduces himself as Niemand.
Dr. Graham invites him in and offers him a drink, but
The man politely declines.
Chorus:
I want you to stop what you're doing.
You're going to hurt millions of people, and
If you don't believe me then wait until you see.
It's like giving a child a gun.
Verse:
Dr. Graham says it's all in the name of science.
Niemand asks him if he thinks we're ready.
Dr. Graham says, 'I think you understand my point of view.'
Niemand gets up and asks about those drinks.
Dr. Graham gets up and goes to make them.
Niemand goes to say good night to Graham's kid.
The drinks go quick and Niemand says, 'I hope that you don't mind
I gave your little boy a gift.'
Chorus
Bridge:
How many weapons can we make?
How many forms of genocide can we create?
How many times must we learn
That if we're going to play with fire we'll get burned?
Chorus

Return to Slender
01:56
|
|||
Verse:
Outside the cold wind blows it's feeling like a hundred below, and
It seems that no one's noticed
The extra shadow that has joined the frenzied dance of its brothers in the yard
Except not quite to the same tune.
Its step is slightly off like its got fifty-five left feet, and
In one single happy moment I realize its coming straight for me.
Chorus:
Return to Slenderman and his statutory stalking after dark.
We learn from Slenderman, exhilarated to be going to the ark.
Verse:
Outside the cold wind blows it's sounding like something's outside your room.
You're feeling closer to the tomb.
The extra shadow that turned out to be no shadow after all
Is dressed in black and abnormally tall.
Peering through the shades a creeping death steps into view.
Are you aware enough to realize the machination of your end is after you?
Chorus:
Return to Slenderman and his statutory stalking after dark.
We learn from Slenderman, exhilarated to be going to the ark.
Return to Slenderman the footage of him I happened to obtain.
We turn to Slenderman and if I don't come back please search for my remains.
Please search for my remains.

Wake Up, Number 37
03:06
|
|||
Verse:
Mr. Smallwood's seen the mothman again and
I can't tell if he's out of his mind but
There's crazy shit happening at the TNT plant and
I'm sure as hell afraid of what I might find, oh!
Chorus:
Wake up, number 37.
He said it's not quite your time, no not yet.
Don't be afraid since you won't drown,
When the silver bridge comes down.
Wake up, number 37.
Verse:
The neighbors found a scorch mark on their tree again.
They can't explain it my sanity I must maintain it, and
The calls from Ingrid Cold are beginning to get old.
You'd think they have been redirected since my line's been disconnected.
Chorus
Bridge:
He says there's nothing to fear.
Leaves a portentous prophecy and quickly disappears.
They say he's been here for years.
Well it's freaking me out. Wish he's whisper in someone else's ears...

They Live
03:26
|
|||
Verse:
Consume. Obey. Watch TV.
Conform. Submit. Reproduce.
Sleep. No independent thought. No imagination.
Stay asleep. Don't question authority. This is your God.
Chorus:
They live. We sleep.
Verse:
Work eight hours.
Sleep eight hours.
Play eight hours, and
Buy.
Chorus
Bridge:
What if they're not really aliens, but people just like you and me?
