You and me buddy We’ll fly in the night Peek into windows Just for the fright Skip across barn roofs And float one the breeze Hide out in bed sheets On Halloween And oh oh oh At least we are never alone The day Gave us up But the night will always be home You and me buddy I know now instead That I’m better with no bones I’m more alive dead And there’s no more tomorrow We’ve only got now No more empty worries To furrow our brow You and me buddy Tonight we will hide Among trick or treaters Maybe go for a ride Stare out the window At the town where we live Steal gravestones from graveyards And candy from kids

My turn to speak and you won't interrupt me 'cause it'll be so loud you can't hear yourself think All of the pressure and all of the strain, someone should've stopped it before it went down the drain Live wire, rapid fire, you waited too long now the situation's dire One wrong move and you're playing my game, oh like it or not you'll all remember my name Motive Unknown we say to you A shard of glass that you see right through Motive Unknown the headlines read As evidence lay at our feet Oh the thrill, the thrill of the kill, you'd only understand if you were in my shoes They ask: "What are you hungry for and what's your motive?" I'm taking what's mine and I'm fucking explosive Don't play victim don't you dare act confused, I've always been down you it's your turn to lose This time it's different, this time we feel, this time we connect, this time it's real Motive Unknown we say to you A shard of glass that you see right through Motive Unknown the headlines read As evidence lay at our feet

Ghost man, show me how You move my stuff around And open doors Breaking all the glass, And knocking over things As I pass And when I come home I see you in the window Then you're gone You wish I could stay To freak me out all day I need to move away I can't imagine how lonely You are It's been so long Something like a hundred years You've been alone Must be so hard Scaring off everyone You come to meet Hey, ghost man, tell me how You feel when I'm around You wish I could stay To freak me out all day I need to move away Can't imagine how lonely I think I will stay And keep you company We can hang all day So you won't be so lonely After all

Everyone’s disappeared, but I’m still cutting the grass Taking care of biz as usual I don’t have a clue what really happened to all of you I woke up one day and all that remained was silence and some blood stains Frantically, I checked out all the houses on our street But no one came to meet me at their door So, I looked into the sky and wondered “why’d you leave me here alone”? The clouds took the shape of a horrible face, and I swear I heard it laugh Well, that just made me mad, so I walked home and took a nap Expecting this insanity to pass Eventually, I came to see this isn’t just a crazy dream And here I am, it’s been 6 months, and my chores are all done So I’m packing up some things, I’m heading out on the road I hope I’m not the only one alive And right before my eyes, a misty mountain rises high A passage opens as I drive into the looming mountain side And now I’m barely real, I think someone else is at the wheel Why did I come to a halt and what’s that pounding in my brain? I’m reaching for my shotgun as my head explodes in pain And now I’m stumbling aimlessly around this bloody maze And now I’m in the tunnel with some things I can’t explain Someone’s scrambling towards me, I can see their glowing eyes “One more step, and I’ll blow you straight to hell” Wait a minute now, my body’s floating up to somewhere else And there’s my wife, and that’s my kid… so this is where they went…

a cup and string from you to me a voice called out from beyond a dream where monsters lurk and canaries sing what did Caroll Spinney dress as when it was Halloween? from sixty-nine to twenty-eighteen you took us all under your wing we didn't have to know what it all means what did Caroll Spinney dress as when it was Halloween? they can calm our fears with thorazine what did Caroll Spinney dress as when it was Halloween?

When you are fast asleep they crawl into your darkest dreams. Withering all your rights, controlling what goes inside. Don't Let Them Take Your Soul. Don't Let Them Take Your Body.

Laying on my kitchen floor again, home alone again. Blowing smoke into the cabinets, thinking that'll hide it. Maybe I'm a magnet - to cannabis filled mind entanglement. Maybe devil's advocate. I'm scared and I can't put word to word on how I prefer to sometimes live life in a blur. I'm an amateur, yet entrepreneur of connoisseurs with no regrets.

a grave mistake out in the meadow how could you know that you had caught a beast? i played the part, a proper fellow you wrapped yourself in me i readied for the feast i like my magic black and my edges sharp i'm just a heart attack swallowed up in the darkest arts you saw the claws grow from my fingers you heard me horny for the harvest moon i tried to hide my fangs and stingers my fears were far from few the curse i gave to you i like my magic black and my edges sharp i'm just a heart attack swallowed up in the darkest arts i didn't mean to bite give you such a fright i'm just a heart attack better run i'm racing for the trees you're safe away from me maybe when i'm a ghost we'll hold each other close

The sun goes down Dark fills your eyes The hour is late Sein Hexenzeit Auf old ways A longtime pact Drei wir singen Hexenssabbat Just calm yourself And take a breath It's only the veil of death Beruhige dich Und atme durch Est ist nur ein a hirsch Ich gebe meine seele Ich nehme dein herz O-Oh-O Just strike a match O-Oh-O And count to ten O-Oh-O Then blow it out O-Oh-O Invite them in A bond of three On a star of five Just chant the words Sein hexenzeit

I've seen you undress Duck out of the way You hide from them Sneer in dismay You handle the stress Perched in your nest Felt your veins quiver Felt the pulse Molecular From within Ive watched you change Dissappear Change Happens You shifted I can't explain I'll get used to it You turned and it burns You turned and it burns Moon at the center When you enter Change Happens You shifted I can't explain I'll get used to it

A house in my head Digesting till I'm dead A house in my head Always hungry and always fed

I am a man and I'm made out of mud And I wake up every morning to a cold indifferent sun And I die a little day inside I die a little day inside I am a man and I'm made out of mud And my mind keeps turning toxic as I face the rising sun My brain it is a demon and it's eating me away I try to stay alive taking white pills everyday And in the night there's nowhere I can hide The moon is no companion to the demons I've inside My walls of mud are crumbling as I struggle to break free From the Nightmares, The Demons, and Me Well I am a man and my mud is crumbling My everyday is drowning like a castaway at sea Every time I close my eyes it's trauma that I see But you only see the smile of the day time mud man me

I can't sleep, I can't sleep Something's coming for me I can't sleep, I can't sleep Something's coming for me A face outside my window I hand touching my feet Send some angels over for me I can't sleep, I can't sleep I can't run away from me I can't sleep, I can't sleep I can't run away from me A fist inside my mirror Choices must be made I'm too old to be this afraid

it's too late / i've made some trouble / behind these eyes / and the smell of rubber it's not lies or deceit / just a defense that i need / the sweet smell of leaves / and anonymity this is not my body / this is not my street / a nameless face / what a sweet release i think that you know / the stories we tell / who is the one / ringing the bell?

When the moon is high and the leaves all die Witches on brooms in the sky A cold wind whispers in your ear, “Once again it’s that time of year” Pumpkin Boy For the Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy For the Pumpkin Boy He’ll rise from the earth again In search for a new friend He’s all alone, he’s got no home He’s in the streets where the spirits roam Pumpkin Boy He’s the Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy He’s the Pumpkin Boy Now he lays down to rest his eyes Back to the dirt from which he’d rise We’ll meet again don’t worry ‘bout a thing I’ll water your seeds come next spring Pumpkin Boy Goodbye Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy Goodbye Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy Goodbye Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy Goodbye Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy Goodbye Pumpkin Boy Pumpkin Boy Goodbye Pumpkin Boy
