That Mann 05:07
Testing... Testing... I am the Cosmic... I am the Drama... I am sending things to earth... Maps, programs, feelings... Can you hear... Me? Who's doing this? Who's killing us? Is this darkness in you, too? Do You notice? Do you notice my scars? They are inside of my heart I have nothing to do with your insane point of view If that was a lie, why is it so hard for me to tell you? You can, you will, you will, you can You can, you will, you can be that mann You will, you can, you can, you will You will, you can, you can be that mann Do you shoot straight from the hip? What is that inside your pocket? I have nothing to do with your deranged point of view That was a lie, why do I even try to tell you?

King Reason is my king, he taught me, now I sing He has the nose, knows what's best Sheepskin, his clothes, unwell-dressed King Reason has a queen and I am in between She held me down when I realized Dead in the ground, we all will die Queen Reason held me down, so I am still around She could have said, "Heaven-sent." She held her tongue, did not relent King Reason had a dream to become everything He taught me how, housed me in He taught me how, now I'm everything. (A King.) [3x] Now I'm everything [3x] You can't be my friend, you can't be my friend You can't be my friend, you can't be, oh my God! You can't be my friend, you can't be my friend You can't be my friend, you can't be, oh my God, oh my God

Don't even try Don't go, no, you won't make all that cold, wet dry Don't let those hopes grow 'til they show their size No, that's not only smoke, creeping through the window Holy Ghosts control my space and time [2x] And they will find me in the end Yes, they will find me in the end I have not enough heart You've been a-lyin' from the start My brains, they always change, they're not set in stone Flap your wings, dip into the dream We're getting ready to come home We're getting ready to come home We're getting ready to come home They're ready for us to come home Don't even try Don't go, no, you won't make all that cold, wet dry Don't let those hopes grow 'til they show their size No, that's not only smoke, creeping through the window Holy Ghosts control my space and time [2x] And they will find me in the end Yes, they will find me in the end I have not enough heart You've been a-lyin' from the start My brains, they always change, they're not set in stone Flap your wings, dip into the dream We're getting ready to come home We're getting ready to come home We're getting ready to come home They're ready for us to come home My art is not-that-good art [4x] My art, my art [2x] My art is not-that-good art You get off, got off to a better start Our success was never set in any stone I bent myself to bring you these marvelous things They blossom and they bloom into you I thought you might have wanted them too I thought you maybe wanted them too Maybe you maybe wanted them too

The birds are brave They keep the bugs at bay The bugs die slowly At the bottom of my bed They live one day Then they rapidly decay We all die slowly But we are not dead I chirp all day It keeps the beasts away My head stopped growin' But that is not mind Pale, as I may be I'm darker every day Me, my head stopped growin' But that is not my mind [2x] My mind

My mind My mind I have to make you mine I have to make you my mind Mind, I have to make you mine My Mind, I have to make you my mind I am a brain! I see shadows! I feel pain! I have made a trade! I have made a great mistake! A Genius Design Is where I reside No god would take this much time To Open My Eyes I have to make you mine I have to make you my mind Mind, I have to make you mine My Mind, I have to make you my mind

I was [4x] I was victorious once I was [2x] That was me I had to believe it to see That was me Tugging upwards at your sleeve Directing you to the clouds Directing you underground [4x] I was I had big dreams Nice Things Nice Things That was me As you puked up the repeats That was me So you were never alone really Now, wrap your brains 'round the bomb Hold me tight in your arms [2x] Now, wrap your brains 'round the bomb Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Hold me tight in your arms Arms, arms, arms, arms

[2x] Cast me out again, cast me out Cast me out into the summer Cast me out of the tribe Cast me out into the wonder Cast me out of the tribe [2x] It's a Bright, Bright Day! [2x] These are bright, bright days

Here I, where'd I...[2x] Here I (go), where'd I (go)? [4x] I went to the sun I fell I heard all the tales they had to tell About me The weight of the gun I felt The piercing of the piece press in From all around me [8x] Here I (go), where'd I (go)? I could kill all your beliefs I could show you what I see You could practice what I preach You could love me, I am the enemy Here I am So glad you are Here I am So glad you are Here I am So glad you are Here I am Take me [2x] Take me to your darkest place [4x] To your darkest place [3x]

[2x] They wanted me covered in sleep They had enough of my dreams They had enough of my dreams [2x] I heard that pop, I could not stop I heard that pop, I could not stop I heard that pop, I could not stop I heard that pop, I could not stop At all, at all, at all, at all [2x] They wanted me covered in sleep They had enough of my dreams They had enough of my dreams [2x] I heard that pop, I could not stop I heard that pop, I could not stop I heard that pop, I could not stop I heard that pop, I could not stop At all, at all, at all, at all

I, with my flashlight Hiding underneath your bed With my dirty hands and my dirty feet and my flashlight My flashlight is the only light That I have, so don't you ask My flashlight is holy bright But it's also black, and it wants me back A stare can share a lot in dreams I swear to take care of what's in front of me A stare from the guard tears me apart And I squirm, I never learn And rays from behind all roar up and shine And I fall down from your halls [Bridge] And as I die, a choir shouts a blessing And as I squirm with the worms I ask, "What is depressing?" Because it shouldn't sit to end up in the pits When you die, would you even try To organize, breathe fire, and rise In the air? Would you even care? And as I burn, I would learn How to start a fierce demon choir We would march to the arch with the question "Who fuels all this hell fire and what's below it?" But I should ask what's in your head cause I'm under your bed And I'm mean, never coming clean And you ask for a light, which comes as no surprise And I'm there, with my tangled hair [Bridge] And as he dies, a choir shouts a blessing And as he squirms with the worms I ask, "What is depressing?" And how to fight it

When you say things You speak your mind You speak your mind When you say things When you don't say things You should think of one There are never two How could there ever be anything more than just you? When I say things I should maybe not I should maybe shut My mainframe scum-system of nervousness off When I don't say things I heave and ho I to and fro I never float gently, I never merrily row [Hook] And you should not say nice things If you don't mean them And you should not say mean things At all Don't say nice things Don't say mean things [4x] Leaving me speechless again Introverted, I am Going to hell in a hand- Basket, jacket colored sand No shoes Extrovert that you are I'll take you further and far I'll guide you down to the stars And through [Hook] 2x And if you are speechless then (Don't say nice things, if you don't mean them) And if you are speechless then (Don't say mean things, at all) And if you are speechless then (Don't say nice things, if you don't mean them) You should never say anything again (Don't say mean things, at all) You should never say anything again (Don't say nice things, if you don't mean them) You should never say anything again (Don't say mean things, at all) You should never say anything again (Don't say nice things, if you don't mean them) You should never say anything again (Don't say mean things, at all)

Taking chances every game I've got Breaking rules I've set myself, oh God! Brain bleeds bright when I tie it into a knot Breaking rules I've set myself, oh God! And if it's black that you're wanting Then it is that you will get And if it's black that you're wanting, from me Then it is that you will get Then it is that you will get Then it is that you will get How dumb would I be to ship out to sea With a casket on me, chained with thorns to my body? How dumb must it be for an entire country To back people like these, they are blackwatering the lobby No hands to hold onto of my family, in the desert No feet to walk the streets of the desert, with my family No face to make ungrateful dead expressions, at the Empire No hands to hold onto of my family. They are all glass No hands to hold onto of my family, in the desert (They are all glass) No feet to walk the streets of the desert, with my family (No hands to hold onto of my family in the desert, they are all glass) No face to make ungrateful dead expressions, at the Empire (No hands to hold onto of my family in the desert, they are all glass) No hands to hold onto of my family. They are all glass (No hands to hold onto of my family in the desert, they are all glass) No hands to hold onto of my family. In the desert
