- Track Name: Hollywood Has a Hold On Me
-
So we blast off into this abyss of life that we've known forever
We wake up to realize that everything we live's a lie
And everyone's been watching us
The good and bad to their disgust
And we've been made to live in their sick, filthy little game
They set me up as a leader
Not realizing I'm a sheep
Being sent to the slaughter
And they're all following
Into death
To their demise
Into torture
Into the hurricane's eye
Hollywood has a hold on me
For the rest of my life I'll be a puppet on their string
Hollywood has a hold on me
All of my life I'll be dying to be free
From the silver screen I'm controlled by the serpent king
The ruler of hollywood is quietly strangling me
As this boaconstrictor makes the dark come quicker
The last thing I see are the pigs and goats approaching
The animals are all lined up
- Track Name: Bones and Bones and Flesh and Bones (acoustic)
-
You weren't made to walk through this world alone
Rest your bones on my bones
Give me your hopes
I'll hold to their ropes
I won't let them go
So don't let me go
I don't want to leave
So let's stay here
Let's face our fears
Let's face the years
Let's grow up together. Old
While your bones I hold
If we're both bold
Yeah, we can face our fears
We weren't made to be on our own
Our hearts weren't made to be thrown
Make my embrace your home
We weren't made to be broken
But, how fragile we are
Oh, how broken we are
We're a bitter broken people
But I won't break you anymore
And I won't hurt you anymore
Rest your bones on me
Don't carry your own burdens anymore
