| "A Means To An End" -Joy Division (cover song) A legacy so far removed, One day will be improved. Eternal rites we left behind, We were the better kind. Two the same - set free too I always look to you! -2x We fought for good - stood side by side, Our friendship never died. On stranger waves - the lows and highs, Our vision touched the skies. Immortalists with points to prove, I put my trust in you! -3x -break- A house somewhere on foreign soil, Where aging lovers call. Is this your goal - your final needs, Where dogs and vultures eat? Committed still, I turn to go, I put my trust in you! -4x In you, in you, in you. Put my trust in you, in you... "A Melody For Her" -Duke Stottrup Why are you stuck inside of my head? I'm sure that you would not want to be in there. I want you out, out of my dreams! I want you out cause I know it will never be... for me. My thoughts are swimming in a sea, They should be of you and me; But you haunt me so innocently... I thought we were friends but you hung up on me. (I don't know) What exactly you wanted me to be. The day you left, you shook my world apart; I didn't know until I tried to use my heart... again. (spoken) It's not fair... It's not fair... I guess I read into it too deep; I just wanted for you to like me. I didn't know that it would ruin what we had! I didn't know that it would make me feel so bad... tonight. My thoughts are swimming in a sea, They should be of you and me; But you haunt me so innocently... (spoken) It's not fair, for either of us, for me to feel this way... It's a shame that it's just a fantasy I'm sure that you wouldn't be disappointed in me... But here I go again repeating all these thoughts! The same old thoughts that I think I've already fought... and won. "Brimstone Remorse" (aka. The Scottish Curse) -Duke Stottrup Ohh, people burn in the streets tonight, Underneathe their own firey skies. Where were you when I needed you tonight? Never should have made you leave so long ago... If you were here, I would have left with the rest. If you were here, I would not have to die. If you were here, I would live again; But I blew you off, and now I pay the price. Separately, we will burn to ash tonight; Times like this make me wish that I would wake up. But it's too late, too late for that. If you were by my side I'd never have to die. Hellfire and Brimstone, wash us away; Cleanse the Earth of all that's gone astray! Existence is over, they'll be nothing left, I'll cry tonight before I'm bereft... There are bodies in the streets, their cries are in the air. I wish I could repent, but I've thrown away my chance. On my knees I cry, I realize my mistake. Now you're here with me - my folly, you'r disgrace. If things should end like this, I'll never forgive myself; I'd not take the chance with life, I'd give it to someone else. I want you here with me, never leave my side, Good Faith. Please don't let me see the day that fire fills the sky! "Dagon" -Duke Stottrup and Revenant (inspired by -and excerpt taken from- the short story "Dagon" by H.P. Lovecraft.) (spoken) 'Then suddenly I saw it. With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters. Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head, and gave vent to certain measured sounds. I think I went mad then...' Shipwrecked, I found an obelisk; Hyrogliphics and inscriptions, Depicting an ancient fear Rising from the deep. Hulking vast and hideously, Plaguing races eons dead, Mouth agape and talons bared, Its howl peirced the air. Though I managed to escape, My dreams are haunted by that thing. Tonight it ends, I hear it crashing Right against my door... "Flat Iron" -Duke Stottrup Sometimes I find myself bored of who I am, And sometimes I wish that I could start again. I'd change the way I look. I'd change the way I act, But I fear what others would say... You and me we aren't - all that different, We are quite alike... The problems that you face - I face too, So let me impart some advice: -------- We always seem to make these same mistakes... Almost as if we don't have what it takes. This shouldn't be so hard. This shouldn't be so difficult, We just need to straighten out! So I've decided - that I ought to change If that's what I want... It really doesn't matter - what anyone may say, We can be ourselves... -bridge- I'm gonna find a way to make myself appear More attractive so I'll have less to fear. I have made up my mind. I'll prioratize to Straighten myself out! I would hope that you - would heed my call, And work through your doubts. I guarantee that we - will be happier If we only lighten up! " 'Friends' " -Duke Stottrup Do you really know me? Do you know who I am? Can you tell me what I'm like when you're not around? I'm not that man, Not the man that you see. I am so much more than you'd ever care to know. Tell me who I am, Mr. Know-it-all. Tell your friends those lies, let them also be deceived; Rumors weary me. You people make me sick; If I wanted friends, I should never have met you. ------ You've got no trust of mine, Only hope of such to come. Not until you know me do you get to be my friend. I will drop you know if the need should arise. Your affection is the anchor on the boat I ride. You, all of you, your ignorance is bliss! But your ignorance is harmful, and words are dreaded thus. Who are you to judge this character you know? Yet not even concider the me I never show. -break- Try to know me friends, I truly beg of you. Take a look at who I am, and who I want to be; I could be the one, The one you could admire, But you'll never know until my friendship is desired. (spoken) You've no trust of mine... You've no trust of mine! "Memories and Death" -Duke Stottrup Though it's time, I cannot sleep tonight. Thought time evades me, now it's too late. Shut my eyes, but dark's not dark enough. Somber thoughts are clenching at my heart. Why does life hurt? Why do I cry? (2x) Lay in bed, my covers raised high, corner myself 'gainst the wall. With all my might I try to sleep, but I cannot stop my mind. Conjure up things that eat my soul, search for answers inside. Despite all my efforts I find one thing... Fear! Why does life hurt? Why do I cry? (2x) Thought it's time, I cannot sleep tonight. Though time evades me, now it's too late. Shut my eyes, but dark's not dark enough. Somber thoughts are clenching at my heart. "My Hero" -Duke Stottrup Oh, lying about, he's my hero; Look, now he yawns, that's my hero. No, don't get up, not for my sake! No, don't get up, you can't afford it! He waits at my door till I let him in; Hours he'll wait, but he know's all give. Once inside, he'll run to the kitchen To get himself some food to fill him up. He'll come around I know he will, -3x He'll come around, I know it! Oh, lying about, he's my hero; Look, now he yawns, that's my hero. No, don't get up, not for my sake! No, don't get up, you can't afford it! Now he sleeps, or is he resting? A fine line between the two! One's a need, and one's a hobby; The outcome's all the same. Out, you, out! My hero, you must leave! I'll see you again, but now you must go! Out, you, out! My hero, you must leave! I'll see you again, Within the hour... -4x "Night by Night" -Duke Stottrup Oh, my love, where have you been? Where can I find you, and when? I've been waiting all these years for you, dear. And I'll never have you, so I fear... I want you, but I can't have you 'cuz it seems - you're only in my Dreams / If I could take you and make you real - You don't know how happy I'd feel / You're always on my mind. I think about you all the time. And I dream about you every night... When I see all these couples, I Can't help but feel bitter. If I had my way, and you were by my side, I couldn't care if you left me, or if you lied. At least I'd have you for a time, 'Cuz anything is better than just one night. ...just one night... When I see all these couples, I Can't help but feel bitter. ------ But then night comes again, and I'll have you then. And my life is alright... 'cuz you smiled at me, Made me feel loved, and happy. For when I'm fast asleep, it's you I see. Smiles and gazes, embraces are what you bring; You are truly the most beautiful thing. It pains me to think I'll not have you, 'Cuz this faulty love just isn't true... ------ (whispered) Here comes the light... Sun brings the day... It chases you away... You see my plight... -1000x I'll see you tonight. "Stasis World" -Duke Stottrup (concept by Anthony Cardott) Now what time is it? I wanna ask you that. How long have you been, Asleep without me. You'll not recognize me when, When you see me again. I've been alone for so long; You've been asleep, and you don't know. What happened to our deal? Don't you care how I feel? I set my clock where was yours? I woke up last, and I was first! I'm alone -4x Well, I froze all time, just so I could be with you. But you slept right on through, Through your wake up call. So here I am for years, Alone in Stasis World, And you'll awake tomorrow, But I just may be dead! What happened to our plan? I thought I was your man. I wasted all of my time, And I'm sure that you think it's fine! I'm alone! -4x "The Others" -Duke Stottrup In the news, two kids were dead: They had robbed none other than themselves. One had choked, put a noose 'round his head; The other by uppers that sat on his shelves... (shelves) They sat on his shelves... (shelves) They sit on the shelves... (shelves) These kids sit on shelves. In a thrid case, this kid that I knew, He had a gun, tried to shoot himself through. He was a bad aim, and shot off his ear, He realized what he did, and fell down in fear... (fear) He fell down in fear... (fear) He fell down in fear... (fear) He fell down in fear. Now that kid is one of my brother, I talked him through all that he had done. Now he lives unlike some of those others, Living his days in the sun... In the sun... -1000x "Traitor" -Duke Stottrup He's watching your life, He's watching your actions, He knows all that you know. Despite your hate, you must love, Yes, believe you love your Brother. Double-think twice before you speak your mind, Mind your thoughts or you'll break the law. Think your thoughts, but do not speak, Though your still a criminal. You must love your Brother, You can't trust your sister. She may confide in you, but you need to turn her in. If you can turn her in, then she can do the same, So take another swig, my friend, it'll work out in the end. Double-think twice before you speak your mind, Mind your thoughts or you'll break the law. Think your thoughts, but do not speak, Though your still a criminal. He's watching your life, He's watching your actions, He knows all that you know. Despite your hate, you must love, Yes, believe you love your Brother. Be wary of your thoughts, my friend, They'll stab you in the back. They'll betray your heart and then, It's off to 101. Traitor! -4x You Traitor! -4x |
