<p><strong>Taste In Men</strong></p>
<p>Come back to me awhile<br />
Change your style again<br />
Come back to me awhile<br />
Change your taste in men<br />
It&#8217;s been this way since christmas day<br />
Dazzled, doused in gin<br />
Change your taste in men</p>
<p>Come back to me awhile<br />
Change your style again<br />
Come back to me awhile<br />
Change your taste in men</p>
<p>I&#8217;m killing time on valentine&#8217;s<br />
Waiting for the day to end<br />
Change your taste in men</p>
<p>Come back to me awhile<br />
Change your style again<br />
Come back to me awhile<br />
Change your taste in men</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been this way since christmas day<br />
Dazzled, doused in gin<br />
Change your taste in men</p>
<p>Change your taste in men X8</p>
<p><strong>Days before You Came</strong></p>
<p>Days before you came<br />
Freezing cold and empty<br />
Towns that changed their name<br />
And a horn of plenty</p>
<p>Days before you came<br />
Counting breaths inside me<br />
Even crack cocaine<br />
Couldn&#8217;t start to hide me</p>
<p>Won&#8217;t you join me now?<br />
Baby&#8217;s looking torn and frayed<br />
Join the masquerade<br />
Join the masquerade</p>
<p>Won&#8217;t you join me now?<br />
Baby&#8217;s looking to get laid<br />
Join the masquerade<br />
Join the masquerade.</p>
<p>Days before you came<br />
It always seemed enticing<br />
To be naked and profane<br />
There is no denying</p>
<p>Days before you came<br />
Thunderbolts and lightning<br />
Each day a brand new vein<br />
Each tourniquet colliding</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t want you anyway X4</p>
<p>Won&#8217;t you join me now?<br />
Baby&#8217;s looking torn and frayed<br />
Join the masquerade<br />
Join the masquerade</p>
<p>Won&#8217;t you join me now?<br />
Baby&#8217;s looking to get laid<br />
Join the masquerade<br />
Join the masquerade</p>
<p>Days before you came<br />
Days before you came<br />
Days before you came<br />
Days before you</p>
<p>Days before you came<br />
Days before you came<br />
Days before you came<br />
Days before you</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t want you anyway X4</p>
<p><strong>Special K</strong></p>
<p>Coming up beyond belief<br />
On this coronary thief</p>
<p>More than just a leitmotiv<br />
More chaotic, no relief</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll describe the way I feel<br />
Weeping wounds that never heal</p>
<p>Can the savior be for real?<br />
Or are you just my seventh seal?</p>
<p>No hesitation, no delay<br />
You come on just like special K<br />
Just like I swallowed half my stash<br />
I never ever wanna crash<br />
No hesitation, no delay<br />
You come on just like special K<br />
Now you&#8217;re back with dope demand<br />
I&#8217;m on sinking sand</p>
<p>Gravity, no escaping<br />
Gravity<br />
Gravity<br />
No escaping<br />
Not for free<br />
I fall down<br />
Hit the ground<br />
Make a heavy sound<br />
Every time<br />
You seem to come around</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll describe the way I feel<br />
You&#8217;re my new Achille&#8217;s heel</p>
<p>Can the savior be for real?<br />
Or are you just my seventh seal?</p>
<p>No hesitation<br />
No delay<br />
You come on just like special K<br />
Just like I swallowed half my stash<br />
I never ever want to crash<br />
No hesitation<br />
No delay<br />
You come on just like special K<br />
Now you&#8217;re back with dope demand<br />
I&#8217;m on sinking sand</p>
<p>Gravity<br />
No escaping gravity<br />
Gravity<br />
No escaping<br />
Not for free<br />

Hit the ground<br />
Make a heavy sound<br />
Every time<br />
You seem to come around</p>
<p>No escaping gravity<br />
No escaping gravity<br />
No escaping gravity<br />
No escaping gravity<br />
Gravity X4</p>
<p><strong>Spite &#038; malice</strong></p>
<p>Ahaha revolution<br />
Dope guns fucking in the streets<br />
Revolution<br />
Dope guns fucking in the streets</p>
<p>Aces take your time<br />
Queens are left for dead<br />
Jacks can stand in line<br />
And touch themselves instead<br />
Aces take your pity<br />
And keep it warm in bed<br />
Aces take your time</p>
<p>Cut the deck<br />
The queens left for dead<br />
Soft and wet scarf tied to the bed<br />
Jack is all tragic when he&#8217;s stands alone<br />
Feelin&#8217; demonic harmonic<br />
In a no go zone<br />
You look well suited<br />
Like you came to win<br />
Lust spite and malice<br />
Your degrees of sin<br />
Cruisin&#8217; for pity<br />
And looking pretty as fuck<br />
Ace take your chances<br />
Queen wish you luck</p>
<p>Aces take your time<br />
Draw your final breath<br />
Jacks are feelin fine<br />
They&#8217;ve clubbed themselves to death<br />
Aces take your pity<br />
You sleep with it instead<br />
Aces take your time</p>
<p>You can play your card<br />
I&#8217;ll hold onto mine<br />
Tied up in the reasons<br />
Ace take your time<br />
Looks turn to lovers<br />
Flames into fires<br />
Jack loves his tragedy<br />
Queen her desires<br />
You look well suited like you came to win<br />
Lust spite and malice<br />
Your degrees of sin<br />
Wrap me in your trauma<br />
And I may just give you mine<br />
Queen take your chances<br />
Aces take your time</p>
<p>Dope guns fucking in the street<br />
Everything will blow tonight<br />
Revolution<br />
Dope guns fucking in the street<br />
Either friend or foe tonight<br />
Revolution<br />
Dope guns fucking in the street</p>

<p><strong>Black-Eyed</strong></p>
<p>I was never faithful<br />
And I was never one to trust<br />
Bordelining schizo<br />
And guaranteed to cause a fuss</p>
<p>I was never loyal<br />
Except to my own pleasure zone<br />
I&#8217;m forever black-eyed<br />
A product of a broken home</p>
<p>I was never faithful<br />
And I was never one to trust<br />
Bordeline bipolar<br />
Forever biting on your nuts</p>
<p>I was never grateful<br />
That&#8217;s why I spent my days alone<br />
I&#8217;m forever black-eyed<br />
A product of a broken home<br />
Broken home</p>
<p>Black-eyed, black-eyed<br />
Black-eyed, black-eyed<br />
Black-eyed, black-eyed<br />
Black-eyed, black-eyed</p>

<p>I wrote this novel just for you<br />
It sounds pretentious but it&#8217;s true<br />
I wrote this novel just for you<br />

<p>I wrote this novel just for Mom<br />
For all the Mommy things she&#8217;s done<br />
For all the times she showed me wrong<br />
For all the times she sang God&#8217;s song<br />
And I say thank you Mom<br />
Hello Mom<br />
Thank you Mom<br />
Hi Mom</p>
<p>I read a book about Uncle Tom<br />
Where whitey bastard made a bomb<br />
But now Ebonics rule our song<br />
Those motherfuckers got it wrong<br />
And I ask<br />
Who is uncle Tom?<br />
Who is uncle Tom?<br />
Who is uncle Tom?<br />
You are</p>
<p>I read a book about the self<br />
Said I should get expensive help<br />
Go fix my head<br />
Create some wealth<br />
Put my neurosis on the shelf</p>
<p>But I don&#8217;t care for myself<br />
I don&#8217;t care for myself<br />
I don&#8217;t care for myself<br />

I&#8217;m so pretentious<br />
Yes it&#8217;s true<br />
I wrote this novel just for you<br />
Just for you<br />
Just for you </p>

<p>Run away from all your boredom<br />
Run away from all your whoredom and wave<br />
Your worries and cares<br />
Goodbye</p>
<p>All it takes is one decision<br />
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave<br />
Your worries and cares<br />
Goodbye</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a maze for rats to try<br />

<p>You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s always choking Trojan<br />
You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s always bruised and broken<br />
Sleep may be the enemy<br />
But so is another line<br />
It&#8217;s a remedy<br />
You should take more time</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s always choking Trojan<br />
You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s showers always golden<br />
Spunk and bestiality well it&#8217;s an Assisi lie<br />
It&#8217;s ahead of me, you should close your fly</p>
<p>I understand the fascination<br />
The dream that comes alive at night<br />
But if you don&#8217;t change your situation<br />
Then you&#8217;ll die, you&#8217;ll die, don&#8217;t die, don&#8217;t die<br />
Please don&#8217;t die</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s always choking Trojan<br />
You&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s always bruised and broken<br />
Drunk on immorality, valium and cherry wine<br />
Coke and ecstasy, you&#8217;re gonna blow your mind</p>
<p>I understand the fascination<br />
I&#8217;ve even been there once or twice or more<br />
But if you don&#8217;t change your situation<br />
Then you&#8217;ll die, you&#8217;ll die, don&#8217;t die, don&#8217;t die<br />
Please don&#8217;t die X4 </p>
<p><strong>Haemoglobin</strong></p>
<p>I was hanging from a tree<br />
Unaccustomed to such violence<br />
Jesus looking down on me<br />
I&#8217;m prepared for one big silence</p>
<p>How&#8217;d I ever end up here<br />
Must be through some lack of kindness<br />
And it seemed to dawn on me<br />
Haemoglobin is the key</p>
<p>Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heartbeat<br />
Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heartbeat</p>
<p>At the time they cut me free<br />
I was brimming with defiance<br />
Doctors looking down on me<br />
Breaking every law of science</p>
<p>How&#8217;d I ever end up here<br />
A latent strain of color blindness<br />
Then it seemed to dawn on me<br />
Haemoglobin is the key</p>
<p>Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heartbeat<br />
Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heartbeat</p>
<p>Haemoglobin is the key<br />

Now my feet don&#8217;t touch the ground, go<br />
Now my feet don&#8217;t touch the ground<br />
Now my feet don&#8217;t touch the ground</p>
<p>As they drag me to my feet<br />
I was filled with incoherence<br />
Theories of conspiracy<br />
The whole world wants my disappearance</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll go fighting nail and teeth<br />
You&#8217;ve never seen such perseverance<br />
Gonna make you scared of me<br />
&#8216;Cause haemoglobin is the key</p>
<p>Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heartbeat<br />
Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heart beat</p>
<p>Haemoglobin is the key<br />
To a healthy heart beat<br />

It seems a place for us to dream</p>

<p>Careful not to fall<br />
Have to climb your wall<br />
&#8216;Cause you&#8217;re the one who makes me feel much taller than you are<br />
I&#8217;m just a peeping tom<br />
On my own for far too long<br />

Nothing left to lose</p>
