The Long Fade Out

They say it's better to burn out than fade away
But does anybody wonder what the hell is goin on
If all them were here today?
They say don't meet your heroes, they'll let you down
I don't wanna see your dinner when I'm logging onto twitter
no it don't seem that profound
Don't do the long fade out
Don't do the long fade out
They say there comes a time to quit while you're ahead
But no, you had to go and sell out harder than Metallica
And show your age instead
They say to live fast! Die young! Leave a pretty corpse
Or better you could never ever step into the studio
Just don't press record
Don't do the long fade out
Don't do the long fade out
Don't do it!!

Oh my god that's some funky shit
But how the hell you gonna pay for it?
Where were you when we came to town?
It didn't grow so you could burn it down
New modality
To reality
New modality
To reality
Where I'm from, two and two make a four
So step right up and we will wipe the floor
And if you really wanna be the man
It's high time that you fine'ly understand
New modality
To reality
New modality
To reality

Have Fun With That

You invite me to your party
You say you really want me
To be there today
But you! You don't respect my body
You won't reject the nazis
So I'll stay away
You have fun
Now that all the the morons won
Just ignore the damage done
Weighing on your heart
Have fun with that

In the wasteland where everything is dead
I found my best friend:
A dog with a cyborg head
But after two hundred years
His brain is broken and now
He's starting to forget
On a mission to see if we can find
A replacement for Rex's shattered mind
But if I change his CPU
Will he still be the dog I knew
Or otherwise?
I gotta to get my dog a new brain
Baby 'cause the one he's got don't work
Will my cyber dog be the same?
Maybe.
Will this hit me where it hurts?
I found a modem with a brand new microchip
And a surgeon who knew how to replace it
Rex'll open up his eyes
And though he doesn't recognize
We can connect
I gotta to get my dog a new brain
Baby 'cause the one he's got don't work
Will my cyber dog be the same?
Maybe.
Will this hit me where it hurts?
Hit me where it hurts.

Courage Is For Cowards

If courage is for cowards
Then all the money and the power
In the world wouldn't make this right
Ticking closer to the day we die
Courage is for cowards
Strength is for the weak
Faith is for the atheists
Who know the dead can speak
Love is for the haters
Wisdom is for fools
Honesty's for lairs
Who are breaking all the rules
And if courage is for cowards
Then all the money and the power
In the world wouldn't make this right
Ticking closer to the day we die
Kindness is for killers
Calm's for malcontents
Hope is for the penniless
Without a cent to spend
Forethought's for the lazy
Foresight's for the blind
Eternity's for you and me
We're running out of time
So if courage is for cowards
Then all the money and the power
In the world wouldn't make this right
Ticking closer to the day we die

Persephone

Persephone, she walked the path alone
Through time and space, she's searching for a home
She bore witness to the rise and fall
Persephone, she lived a thousand lives
The memories of pain, they won't subside
It's too late! She's seen it all
And only she can save us
O Persephone,
The girl who saw her destiny
Who knew how it was meant to be
And saw it wouldn't last
Persephone,
The girl who saw her destiny
Who knew how it was meant to be
Until she chose to act
Persephone, she's seen all of the past
Every dawn a future that could last
Oh god, shes cursed to know
and no one will believe her
O Persephone,
The girl who saw her destiny
Who knew how it was meant to be
And saw it wouldn't last
Persephone,
The girl who saw her destiny
Who knew how it was meant to be
Until she chose to act
