[verse] The years of often insufficient repose Now offers me the chance to set sail on my own Leading onward into the dark [prechorus] I can tear away what makes me uniquely so Embracing every part of my creative soul It's connecting, it's connecting This outlet overflows Am I the only one with tickets to the show [chorus] The music in my head is taking over Thoughts suppressed beneath the chords and notes And the words will come, and the words will come Always looking over my shoulder Am I the only one, Controller I can tear away what makes me uniquely so Thoughts suppressed beneath the chords and notes It's connecting, it's connecting This outlet overflows Am I the only one, Controller [verse] The years of often insufficient repose Now offers me the chance to set sail on my own Leading onward into the dark [prechorus] I can tear away what makes me uniquely so Embracing every part of my creative soul It's connecting, it's connecting This outlet overflows Am I the only one with tickets to the show [chorus] The music in my head is taking over Thoughts suppressed beneath the chords and notes And the words will come, and the words will come Always looking over my shoulder Am I the only one in control of [interlude] It's connecting, it's connecting This outlet overflows Am I the only one, Controller It's connecting, it's connecting This outlet overflows Am I the only one, Controller

[verse a] No remorse for this agitation Floating adrift in this separation I cannot let you see I will not let you see I’ve learned so much about humiliation Come to grips with this insasiation I cannot let you see I will not let you see [chorus] Convinced that this was all exaggeration I only know these truths through mediators I had the right to be the enemy But it was only then I knew That you were poisoning the bloodstream [verse b] Make a pass at my fascination Cross the line in my imagination I cannot let you see I will not let you see There’s nothing brave about intoxication Giving into these insane temptations I cannot let you see [chorus] Convinced that this was all exaggeration I only know these truths through mediators I had the right to be the enemy But it was only then I knew That you were poisoning the bloodstream [interlude] I only have myself to blame for leaving myself vulnerable to attack You left me in the dark Sucker punch me blind And I never saw the signs And I’d never want it back There’s nothing that I need from you [chorus] Convinced that this was all exaggeration I only know these truths through mediators I had the right to be the enemy But it was only then I knew That you were poisoning the bloodstream I had the right to be the enemy But it was only then I knew That you were poisoning the bloodstream

[verse a] My gut instinct tells me Stop and look the other way Maybe I'll find light if I do Check my bags at the door Don't want to muddle this anymore Can't get my head to agree [chorus] Everyone's saying this or that Might as well meet expectations Don't go expecting me pause my exuberation Say what you're feeling inside Reaction is condemnation But don't ask me what it was that brought on all this hatred [verse b] As my body's shaking Waiting in anticipation Actors never miss their cue Intense aggravation Menacing imagination Only hope it doesn't come true [chorus] Everyone's saying this or that Might as well meet expectations Don't go expecting me pause my exuberation Say what you're feeling inside Reaction is condemnation But don't ask me what it was that brought on all this hatred [chorus] Everyone's saying this or that Might as well meet expectations Don't go expecting me pause my exuberation Say what you're feeling inside Reaction is condemnation But don't ask me what it was that brought on all this hatred

[verse a] If you know everything, tell me why I don't care about this useless information I suffer atrophy your boring me to death I think I need to see a doctor Try and buy some time before I make my exit Don't want to make your radar blip [chorus] I'm so concerned I almost fell to the floor Not joking or am I Just so concerned or maybe that's just heartburn I'm kidding or am I [verse b] Have a penchant for looking the other direction I can barely keep my eyes open Yeah the weather's nice and agreed your kids so special I'll take another bartender Please don't notice me, Yeah I'm just arriving How long have you been here [chorus] I'm so concerned I almost fell to the floor Not joking or am I Just so concerned or maybe that's just heartburn I'm kidding or am I I'm so concerned I almost fell to the floor Not joking or am I Just so concerned or maybe that's just heartburn I'm kidding or am I [chorus] I'm so concerned I almost fell to the floor Not joking or am I Just so concerned or maybe that's just heartburn I'm kidding or am I I'm so concerned I almost fell to the floor Not joking or am I Just so concerned or maybe that's just heartburn I'm kidding or am I

[verse a] I've still a bad taste in my mouth from the last time we met I feel a force of introspective denigration mend And I know what I must do Now bow down at the altar offer up a sacrifice Hail Mary miracle seen only once in our lifetime If that's not too much to ask for [chorus] Expect no hesitation on the count of three There is no limitation as the adrenaline takes hold of me Accept no hesitation on the count of three I have to imitation as adrenaline takes hold of me [verse b] Enforce the meet and then retreat without a word to me Disable all attempts to reach in the irony I know this war is not behind you This abject apathy you sense in me has taken hold Why would I want to waste my time with someone I'll dispose of You have not earned the privilege [chorus] Expect no hesitation on the count of three There is no limitation as the adrenaline takes hold of me Accept no hesitation on the count of three I have to imitation as adrenaline takes hold of me [verse c] You are mistaken if you think that you've already won I'll never stop until I can assume total control of This war you've raged so blindly I'm on the forefront of the comeback and its irony Your premonition is the opposite of what will be This is an important reminder [chorus] Expect no hesitation on the count of three There is no limitation as the adrenaline takes hold of me Accept no hesitation on the count of three I have to imitation as adrenaline takes hold of me

[verse a] Here we go again Repetitive bad news Instant karma leaves us waking with the blues Opposition always forcing a particular reaction But none of this is new When there’s recompense but nothing of a swoon All the engines running right despite the fumes Even if we had intended for a different set of outcomes We would only lose [chorus] Just another shot of anguish In hopes that I’ll hear him say My opinion isn’t disillusion And I don’t need to explain [verse b] Watch them leave before discussion of an answer In their ill-conceived avoidance of this cancer Only righteousness, a language they can fully understand In their own syntax I watch the hour throw dissention into bloom Misunderstanding of the actions that we took Don’t believe it when the wolves have finished knocking at the door Presume that it’s untrue [chorus] Just another shot of anguish In hopes that I’ll hear him say My opinion isn’t disillusion And I don’t need to explain [interlude] A home divided is a house of cards Subtle reminders of who you really are [chorus] Just another shot of anguish In hopes that I’ll hear him say My opinion isn’t disillusion And I don’t need to explain Just another shot of anguish In hopes that I’ll hear him say My opinion isn’t disillusion And I don’t need to explain
