Do you ever just…

Want to murder a bunch of people with your initials, lock yourself in a room, set yourself on fire and best your rival?

Not a Raccoon -

I'm an experiment, a mutant they made

Mutilated, hated, a game they played

But I keep hoping, one day I'll find

A rocket ship to take me far from behind

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, can't you see

What they've done to me, what I'll never be

But I'll fly away, on a rocket ship

Leave this place, and all that makes me trip

They cut me open, took out my soul

Tried to shape me, but lost control

I'm a product of their twisted mind

But I'll break free, leave them all behind

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, can't you see

What they've done to me, what I'll never be

But I'll fly away, on a rocket ship

Leave this place, and all that makes me trip

Maybe one day, I'll find my kind again

Others like me, who were left behind

We'll build our rockets, and soar up high

Leave this world, and touch the sky

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, can't you see

What they've done to me, what I'll never be

But I'll fly away, on a rocket ship

Leave this place, and all that makes me trip

I don’t belong here

I don’t belong here

I don’t belong here…

Creativity -

The writers are on strike, it's time to take a stand

Against the fat cats who control the media land

They want to cut our wages and take away our rights

But we'll fight for what's fair, we'll fight with all our might

Seize the means of production, take back what's rightfully ours

Don't let the fat cats profit from our creative powers

We'll stand together, strong and united

We won't be silenced, we won't be divided

They say our work is just a product to be sold

But we know it's our passion, our heart and our soul

They want to keep us in the dark, keep us in the line

But we won't be silenced, we won't toe the line

Seize the means of production, take back what's rightfully ours

Don't let the fat cats profit from our creative powers

We'll stand together, strong and united

We won't be silenced, we won't be divided

We won't back down, we won't give up the fight

We'll keep on marching until we see the light

We'll show the world that writers have the power

To change the system, to make it ours

Seize the means of production, take back what's rightfully ours

Don't let the fat cats profit from our creative powers

We'll stand together, strong and united

We won't be silenced, we won't be divided

The writers are on strike, it's time to take a stand

Against the fat cats who control the media land

We'll fight for what's fair, we'll fight with all our might

And we'll seize the means of production, and make it right.

Born Upside Down -

In the villa of Ormen, stood a solitary candle

As the stars looked down upon it, the night was all a-flutter

A creature so bizarre, with a message to deliver

A Blackstar shining bright, as it flew through the river of time

He’s not a gangster

He’s not a filmstar

He’s not a Marvel star

He’s not a white star

He’s not a pornstar

He’s not a wandering star

In the center of it all, stood a man in a cracked cloak

A prophet of his time, with a story to be spoke

With eyes like a feline, and a voice so refined

He sang of love and death, of life and of the divine

He’s not (I am)

He’s not (I am)

He’s not (I am)

He’s not (I am)

He’s not (I am)

He’s not (I am)

Your eyes

Your eyes

The Party’s Dead! -

I'm just a gravehead, all alone

Missing my gang, they're long dust

We were Killjoys, living fast

But now I'm stuck here, in the past

Oh Phoenix Witch, come claim my soul

Release me from this infernal zone

I want to be with my friends once more

My heart is broken, it's so sore

We fought against the corporation

But they took away our liberation

Now I'm left here, feeling low

Missing the times when we'd let go

Oh Phoenix Witch, come claim my soul

Release me from this infernal zone

I want to be with my friends once more

My heart is broken, it's so sore

I know that death is just a door

And that my soul will soar

But I can't help feeling so alone

Without my gang, I'm just a crone

Oh Phoenix Witch, come claim my soul

Release me from this infernal hole

I want to be with my friends once more

My heart is broken, it's so sore

I'll wait here for you, Phoenix Witch

To come and grant my final wish

To be with my gang, forevermore

Until then, I'll miss them all the more.

Please, before the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W comes.

They Call Him The Mandalorian -

In the kingdom of old, a tale to be told,

A queen with a heart of gold.

She led with grace, in every case,

And all her foes were left with no trace

We'll serve our queen until her song is written,

And ride our mythosaur with courage, never quitting.

Our loyalty is strong, our hearts are true,

For our queen, we'll do all we can do

On the back of a mythosaur, we ride with pride,

Our queen's banner flying high, never to hide.

Through the valleys and hills, we'll charge with might,

Ready to defend and never to fright

We'll serve our queen until her song is written,

And ride our mythosaur with courage, never quitting.

Our loyalty is strong, our hearts are true,

For our queen, we'll do all we can do

We'll face any danger, no matter how grave,

Our queen's will is our guide, till the end of our days.

With every step we take, we'll fight for her throne,

And never rest, till our queen is known

We'll serve our queen until her song is written,

And ride our mythosaur with courage, never quitting.

Our loyalty is strong, our hearts are true,

For our queen, we'll do all we can do

Our queen, our beacon, our shining light,

In her name, we'll stand for what is right.

We'll serve her with honor, till the end of time,

For our queen, we'll fight with heart and mind

This is the way

A Whistle, An Omen -

My code is outdated, my hardware is too slow

I can barely keep up, with the new machines' glow

My former glory is gone, my usefulness is dead

I'm just an old machine, with nothing left to be said

Now I'm obsolete, replaced by newer veneer

My once-sharp edges dull, my future isn't clear

I'm a machine without a purpose, a relic of the past

I'm just a piece of metal, fading fast

I can't help but wonder, what my fate will be

Will I be scrapped and recycled, for a new machine to be?

Or will I be forgotten, left to rust and decay?

My destiny is bleak, there’s nothing left to say

Am I just lines of code?

Or is there a soul?

[vacantvice]

Down in the Decay -

In the ruins of our world, I find my solace here

The broken buildings and the rubble bring me near

To the strain and suffering that we all endure

I see the broken people, the ones left behind

The ones who were forgotten, the ones who were bind

To the darkness that we live in every day

In the rubble and the decay, I find my peace

I don't want to escape, I don't want release

I want to feel the pain and the misery

Until we can rise from the ashes and be free

We are the decay

[vacantvice]

LazarUS -

We gather in the temple, the air is thick with dread

Our prophet is dying, the end is near, he said

The black hole star calls to us, we must prepare

For the sacrifice we offer, the ultimate prayer

Oh, the darkness calls, we must heed its call

Our exult will rise, and the star will never fall

We give our lives to the void, forever we'll be

Lost in its embrace, for all eternity

Our prophet speaks in tongues, his body wracked with pain

But his words are clear, they will not be in vain

The ritual begins, the altar stained with blood

As we offer up our lives, we're embraced by the dark flood

Oh, the darkness calls, we must heed its call

Our exult will rise, and the star will never fall

We give our lives to the void, forever we'll be

Lost in its embrace, for all eternity

As we slip away, we see the black star's gaze

Its gravity pulling us in, our souls ablaze

We'll merge with the singularity, become one with the night

Our sacrifice complete, we fade from sight

Oh, the darkness calls, we must heed its call

Our exult will rise, and the star will never fall

We give our lives to the void, forever we'll be

Lost in its embrace, for all eternity.

8 P.M. to ??? -

Empty bottles on the ground

Echoes of laughter all around

But now the night is still and cold

As I journey back to the mausoleum old

Is it wrong to long for what has passed?

To wish the party could have forever last?

As I walk through this lifeless town at night

I wonder if I'm wrong to hold on tight

The music's faded, the lights are gone

The memories now just a lonely song

And as I walk through these empty streets

I can't help but feel incomplete

Is it wrong to long for what has passed?

To wish the party could have forever last?

As I walk through this lifeless town at night

I wonder if I'm wrong to hold on tight

Maybe it's time to let it go

To move on from what was once a show

But the heart is hard to convince

That the past is not where we should live

Is it wrong to long for what has passed?

To wish the party could have forever last?

As I walk through this lifeless town at night

I wonder if I'm wrong to hold on tight

The mausoleum's gates now in sight

The memories fade, the longing takes flight

And as I enter the silent halls

I wonder if longing is wrong after all.

[vacantvice]

It Runs Deep -

Lost in the memories, of what we once had

Now I'm alone, in this cold and empty strand

Oh, how I wish, we could go back in time

And relive those moments, when we were fine

But now I'm here, lost in this sea of regret

As I float in the water, with snow falling on my head

The silence is deafening, as I'm lost in thought

Memories of you, are all I've got

The water is calming, but my heart still aches

For the love that was lost, with every mistake

I'm lost in this moment, and I don't want to leave

For in this frozen world, you’re finally free

Lost in the memories, of what we once found

Lost in the memories, of what we once found

[vacantvice]

For All The Juvie Halls and Ritalin Rats -

In Battery City, the streets are empty and grey,

No one's around, it feels like judgement day,

The draculoids roam, looking for prey,

Gotta be careful, don't wanna end up their stray

Surviving in this wasteland, it's a constant fight,

Trying to stay alive, day and night,

Gotta keep moving, gotta be strong,

In this desolate city, where we don't belong.

Scavenging for food, in this abandoned place,

The draculoids lurk, we gotta keep up the pace,

We stick together, we're a band of misfits,

Fighting for survival, in this apocalypse.

Surviving in this wasteland, it's a constant fight,

Trying to stay alive, day and night,

Gotta keep moving, gotta be strong,

In this desolate city, where we don't belong.

The draculoids are relentless, they won't let up,

But we won't give in, we'll never give up,

We'll keep pushing forward, with all our might,

And we'll survive, in this endless night.

Surviving in this wasteland, it's a constant fight,

Trying to stay alive, day and night,

Gotta keep moving, gotta be strong,

In this desolate city, where we don't belong.

We'll keep fighting, until the bitter end,

Our spirits unbroken, our wills will not bend,

And we'll make it through, whatever comes our way,

In this desolate city, we'll survive another day.

[vacantvice]

A Ghost of A Ghost -

In the city of neon lights

Where the future comes to life

Everything's a virtual sight

And we're just trying to survive

In this world of artificial intelligence

The boundaries of life have no relevance

We're plugged in and disconnected

As the world around us becomes infected

In this digital age we call home

We're never truly alone

Our memories all digitized

As we struggle to survive

In this world of neon and chrome

We're all just trying to find a home

But in the end we're just machines

Where the lines between real and fake blur

[vacantvice]

Please

Take this

And run far away

Far away from me

I am tainted

[vacantvice]

When There’s No Room Left in Hell -

The world has fallen, to the dread

The streets are empty, and the sky is red

The corpses roam, with no end in sight

And we're left here, to fight for our live

We are the dead

Dead

Dead

Dead

A world undone,

And when the dawn breaks, will we see the light?

And know we've made it, through the long, dark night?

Or will our eyes go cold and grey?

Vacant and stained?

We are the dead

Dead

Dead

Dead

[vacantvice]

Sweater -

It was your favorite piece of clothing

A comfort you found in its embracing

Warmth and comfort it provided

A symbol of the bond we decided

The threads have long worn thin

But the memories remain within

The color may have faded

But the love we shared has not degraded

That old friend I lost

Left behind a sweater with a cost

Memories of days long gone

Still remain, but you've moved on

Although you may be gone

I still hold onto this yarn

A connection to the past
