tmfgodfather I know. You are always the smartest person in the room. Me too. But if we’re being honest, haven’t there been times you were somewhere and someone definitely smarter and more interesting and (if that weren’t enough) better looking than you is there? No? Dear reader. Then you haven’t been in a room with Billy Pilgrim.

1.	All Mad Here 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Tuesday afternoon when the system fails you The blue one cures what ails you End of the bottle The end of the line The little white one tells you that you’re fine The window to your soul works both ways it looks just a little better through a purple haze We’re all mad here Paid the iron price to see another day We’re all mad here Had it all Then it just slipped away Sunday morning church when it all goes wrong The one with the cross keeps you feeling strong Miss it going up Catch it coming down The square pink one turns your frown around Looking at the world can always surprise me Best you choose your vices wisely We’re all mad here Paid the iron price to see another day We’re all mad here Had it all Then it just slipped away Friday night fever when it hits the news The screen and the speaker can help you choose Foreign trade, climate change and all the cancers The fat orange one has all the answers When it's not as simple as girls and boys Just float away on a sea of white noise We’re all mad here Paid the iron price to see another day We’re all mad here Had it all Had it, had it all We’re all mad here Paid the iron price to see another day We’re all mad here Had it all Then we pissed away

Get up Stand up Tense like a clown with a frown Get up Stand up Dense as a clown in a crown This is the hill that we die on These are the clothes that we try on We are The truth. The light, the style and We are The kings and queens of a dead land Profess A passion that calms Fashion louder than bombs Suppress The voices that call Choices made for you all This is the place you can’t trust us These are halls of our justice We are Daniels storming the lion’s den We are The warriors of the poison pen Profess A passion that calms Fashion louder than bombs Suppress The voices that call Choices made for you all There is no place for a safe space No tolerance for the damned to make their case We are Innocents armed to the teeth We are The rage that bubbles barely underneath Get up Get down Stand up Sit down Sensible or tense like a Clown with a frown Get up Get down Stand up Sit down Defensible or dense as a A clown in a crown Profess A passion that calms Fashion louder than bombs Suppress Get up Get down Stand up Sit down Get up Get down Stand up Sit down

Look upon my face and you’re overawed Killing in the name we can’t even speak of the one true god Lullaby bye prayers on high And high time to justify The probable cause Great moral pause Here’s your reason why The old world Gives way to the next world Gives way to the next world Gives way to the next world Gives way to the New song New rime New color New storytime New truth New divine New belief New new paradigm New song New rime New color New storytime New truth New divine New belief New new paradigm Phallus to the altar and the glory keeps on falling til it's declasse Lost the long con but you try to hold on to the light of day Sunset on the empire Dark stain on the entire Land of god Let the hand of god Throw the last log on the pyre The old world Gives way to the next world Gives way to the next world Gives way to the next world Gives way to the New song New rime New color New storytime New truth New divine New belief New new paradigm New song New rime New color New storytime New truth New divine New belief New new paradigm
4.	Ties That Bind 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Nothing Comes of nothing A broken promise And nothing more Dismay I wish I might A figure in white And tell me what’s it for? He’s the only She’s the one So it’s talk, talk, talk til the talking’s done Escapee Victorious one Death or decree The cross, the dress And the gun Killing you Killing me The ties that bind us are Killing you Killing me I just need to be free Double, double Toil and trouble The witches give you Trouble and strife Entombed In this mistake as long as your unnatural life The vows recycle it all Book with no new tale to tell Stalwart words built this cell Sacred covenant and living hell Killing you Killing me The ties that bind us are Killing you Killing me I just need to be free We only come this way once but something wicked this way comes The sands spill Time kills and dies without requiem Your body betrays Your mind decays The final judge weighs the weight of your days Mindless zombie Desolate drone We pay this price to not die alone Killing you Killing me The ties that bind us are Killing you Killing me Cut my throat I’ll be free Killing you Killing me The ties that bind us are Killing you Killing me Cut my throat I’ll be free
5.	The Lovers 03:37	lyrics	buy track
The sun won’t come up anymore The black clouds and black shrouds On black wings of war All swept away now Mind set adrift No future, no promise Not when But if Biblical flood Of literal blood The great acrobat Upon the vast sea of flat Nothing left except What's that? Isn't this rapture It's not the end Ash and clouds and the madding crowds Of one single friend Closer Bigger A singular figure Could she be Life like a fable So clear and so free Drowning in a manic reverie Two by two If I only knew How dear she’d be to me The barren fruit of the very last tree Hurtling through space You and me, it just might be Humans ran their race Just you and I Alone in love in hell But if I can’t have you No man shall No pity for you And less for myself With fear and blood Just me Alone I'm the king Of the mud

The timeline hereunder defines The terms by which you sell your soul Binding upon successors and assigns Ironclad with no loophole Represents the exhibit is accurate The terms by which you sell your soul Should the waiver prove inadequate Ironclad with no loophole How bad How bad How bad How bad Insofar of failure on jurisdiction The terms by which you sell your soul Pursuant to and except provision Ironclad with no loophole Constitutes duly to contemplate The terms by which you sell your soul Nevertheless negate nor necessitate Ironclad with no loophole
8.	Scream 03:43	lyrics	buy track
It’s back From the bottom of the void of irrational fears Fitfully fraught The twist in your plot The solitude of one hundred years No tears Bitterness and bombardiers The cyclops sees and the sirens sing Bow down to your Once and future king High on the mountain, the tide is rising The whirlwind blows and there’s no denying The reign supreme The sound of your scream Hanging tree Swing like a villain In the place to be The devil decrees More devilries He knows He sees Derisive Incisive Billy Pilgrim thinks that he knows what life is The cyclops sees and the sirens sing Bow down to your Once and future king High on the mountain, the tide is rising The whirlwind blows and there’s no denying The reign supreme The sound of your scream Scream for the knowing Scream for the dead Scream into the spaces where the mad king lost his head Scream with the wind that takes away your choice Scream with the silence Scream without your voice Scream at the injustice that your fathers found Scream at the power Scream with the brightest sound Scream like Faustus when he paid the cost Scream like the angels Scream like a child lost High on the mountain, the tide is rising The whirlwind blows and there’s no denying Standing alone on an icy plain Marked with the stain, the blood of Cain The reign supreme The sound of your scream Scream Scream Scream Scream Scream Scream Scream
