I made a bet with the devil, not an agreement, nor a deal But a bargain with the man to make me whole, make me see and feel He says if I can only tough it out, and endure all of this pain Then he will come and take my soul, leave me to money and fame I’d sell my soul if I could be whole, I’d like to see in color I’d sell my just to regain control; I’d like to see in color The money would be nice, that sweet sweet warm delight My name up in lights, see in color Open my eyes, no more black and white I’d like to finally see; open up, consume me I had enough, give me my reward Cause things are getting tough Take my weather soul Take my fucking soul Don’t give up on me now I’ve given you all my body can give and I’m done No more fun, pack up your bags, hit the road, cause I’m really done But wait a minute you say, I turn around and scream, “Are you not done fucking with my head?” And then it becomes clear, I look in the mirror I’m the one seeing red I have sold my soul to myself I’m my own personal demon And I’ll be eternally screaming Let me see color again

Folklore 03:46
My fingertips don’t feel nothin’ no more And happiness ain’t nothin’ but stories and old folklore My inhibitions take over and leave me numb What am I gonna do? Drink some more Feel no more I am lost in this ocean of misery A warhorse separated from the cavalry A broken compass placed upon my hand Severing all direction, bury my head in the sand A tear in my heartstrings knowing you can only watch me wander A fresh new start sings into my ear, but I hear no longer What am I gonna do? I am convinced; it’s all just stories and folklore I am convinced; it’s all just fairytales, nothing more

Zenith 05:55
I knew from the first time I saw you, that I want to be in you So come a little closer, come and walk my way Cause I know you’ll feel the same I see by that look in your eyes, I can tell by the way you’re biting your lip Your body language it can’t hide that you want to board this ship Feel my gaze browse your frame Invite me to your bed to do the Devil’s dance Entering a euphoric trance, this is true romance Bewitched by your and your backside I’m gawking at you wide-eyed, what a lovely ride Don’t think that I’m blind I see that you’re dripping wet with a lustful state of mind Don’t think I’ll hold back The peach may be ripe, but will bruise with every smack Come bend over my leg, I’ll show you the way to pure release Wave after wave, we begin to crave the inevitable summit And night after day, we will misbehave until we’re both coming Reach the zenith Achieve the payoff Look up at me; let me see those bright blue eyes Slow and steady, breath gets heavy, hand muffled cries And I know you’re hooked now, baby Come let me in, we’ll forever sin Come let me in, bliss will never end

Bare Hands 06:42
You’re fucking cold heart ripped out by my bare hands That crooked grin smacked clean off your face by my bare hands You need some help but then again, who am I kidding? Look in the mirror and you’ll see wasted times, all you’re spending Walk a mile in my shoes Look at life through my eyes, and you’ll see why I hate you Walk ‘til you can’t walk no more Then you’ll be where I am, in the deepest pit, in the darkest cave Because you put me there My soul pried clean from your grip by my bare hands That feeling of dread that dwells in your heart left by my bare hands You say you’re innocent until you’re proven guilty The jury’s all paid off; they’re on your side You’re evil and filthy But despite my efforts and constant persistence You’ll always be there with counter-resistance You weighed out the options and made up your mind You’ve sold your soul and now the contract is signed By your bare hands (You sold your soul) By your bare hands (Your heart is cold)

Fresh Linens 05:14
I used to count the days until the weekend, now I’m just counting days I used to love the way I felt in my own skin, now I know this ain’t a phase They say that time will heal the deepest cuts, so give me a wrist watch ‘til then I’ll find a way to end this rut, just me and my glass of scotch Pack me up into a hearse; this will be my final verse No more pain and no more hurt Just pack me up into the dirt My god I’ll keep counting days until my coffin’s bedsheets are made I’ll just keep on sinning until I smell that fresh linens I’ll keep finding ways to skip right through these dark decades Six feet under grinning, wrapped up in these fresh linens I’ll be damned if I make it ‘til the age of 25 Take that whiff of fresh sheet
