I know what you're thinking: "MC! That's crazy! You don't know the exposition! You don't know what happened!" I know! I go into it blind, without knowin' what the fuck's going on! I'm stuck in this town for like, 4 million years and I'm not even the Main Character and I keep having dreams about the Main Character. There's no instant gratification. I'm gettin' a little bored. And my friends are like "Keep playin'! Keep playin'! Eventually, characters are coming out of every orifice. It's awesome! Just stick with it!" So, I do. And I go on the bulletin board, and I look at all the jobs, and I do all the errands, and I get enough money to buy a train ticket to get on the dope ass train to go to the fun part... It took me like, 4 fuckin' years. That's bullshit! I didn't see so much as a fuckin' crab for like a hundred millennia. Meanwhile, Zoey's in a coma; And it's like, bitch, zombies' comin' up the hill right now! Shoot 'em in the head! Shoot 'em Grab your Shotgun! You don't need to load it! We did that shit for you! You don't have time to make a broom! He killed your parents! Shoot him in the head! Shoot him in the head! And nothing happens! Meanwhile, all these really lame mysteries... They're in the back alley. It's all anime bullshit with their hands on their hips, and they're like: "Man, I hope we solve this!" You go back to Toni's. You don't have time to smoke a bowl. You start playin'. This ain't a cutscene, Jump, Bitch! Come on, jump! Time to make a pyre! Bitch zombie's in the room! His axe is on fire! Shoot him in the head! Shoot. Him. In. The. HEAD! It's up to us!

Swallowed by the clouds, though I can still feel their presence Something is pressing against the barrier of the glass Something eerie and fae and pale is peering in from the haunted night And our small room snubbed from the angry gale where faces glow in the firelight Suddenly as if on cue a dark cloud is moving near me And the ancient one's eyes grew wide, and I knew that I must hurry Voices of the sorrowful rain... Trying to figure out what it all meant, seemed so senseless It is gone. There is nothing there, blown by the storm to our windowpane Only the night... and the chill sea air... and the voice of the rain Trying to figure out what it all meant, seems so senseless I knew this thing I'd see again "Do not fear death" she said Inside my soul those words would never end They never end He asked the few that dived in his mind They drowned Then I awoke to the sound of careless chatter As the clock radio beside my bed took a dagger to my subconscious Tearing dreams to shreds, I shook my head trying to remember what adventures I partook and why it felt like something entered My heart and soul like I had shared my deepest secrets But I just couldn't recall where I'd gone or what I'd seen Then reaching for the radio switch, my heart skipped a beat How strange it felt for me to be so deeply affected Even though a love for Earth I had already accepted I couldn't help but feel a pain more sharply directed Marking some unexpected connection; The words selected were 'Do not fear death,' it was an entrance to my memory 'Do not fear death,' it was an exit for an entity 'Do not fear death' The words made sense and yet they didn't 'Do not fear death' she said I had a crazy little dream He asked the few that dived in his mind, they drowned When I woke up, I found I had a crazy little dream He asked the few that dived in his mind, they drowned When I woke up, I found I had a crazy little dream He asked the few that dived in his mind, they drowned When I woke up, I found I had a crazy little dream He asked the few that dived in his mind, they drowned When I woke up, I found Look...

She was crying, wasn't she? But that isn't the reason why you saved her... Activate. No one's going to give you a map. You've gotta walk your own path. I've lived my life following my dreams and I don't have any regrets. Gene! Gene! Gene... Oh, thank goodness. Are you going to be OK? Yeah... What happened? I don't know. I found you lying here unconscious. Really? Well, I wasn't the one who killed him. I've gotta go after her. Let's go. I want you to head on back. I want... Can't I... Can't I do anything to help you? I only have two Castor shells left. If I run out of these, I'll need you to rescue me. We've made it through all the hard plans before with our great teamwork. I've always been on the front lines as the point man and you're- The backup. I'll bring them back. You can count on it. Are you going to go up with your old man or not? I'd rather eat shit. Yeah, I feel the same way. You'd rather eat shit? I mean... I guess so. Leyline Project activated. Hey, what's the matter with you? Haven't you seen flowers before? Why was I made? Who made me... and what did they make me for? Why am I here? Even when I'm this close to you, I can't tell that you're not human. You eat. You feel sad. You're even able to worry about your own existence. I bet she could have given me the answer, but now she's no longer here. Ow, that hurts! Please stop doing that to me. You're surprised. You feel pain. You even complain! Bet you could search the whole galaxy and never find one like you. Don't worry. You're my responsibility now. I promise, I'm going to take care of you. Take care of me? Yeah, and our having another mystery or two to solve won't really change anything. I'll find your past, but to be perfectly honest we don't have a single clue to go on. It'll be a long road, but I'd like for you to come with us. If I won't be too much trouble. You won't be any trouble. Without you, it would be a royal pain in the- An Outlaw must always be a lone wolf without letting anything holding him down. You can never count on anyone but yourself, but then sometimes you just want to feel the warmth of another body, you know? What is thy desire? I've lived my life following my dreams and I don't have any regrets, and now it's time for you to move on, son. I'm counting on you. What is thy desire? I don't understand what I'm supposed to do stranded here all alone. Help me! What am I supposed to do now? Maybe I'll never get over this. You're gonna just keep running away?! Just keep running away? I'm not running. She was crying, wasn't she? But that isn't the reason you saved her, is it Gene?

Send away for a priceless gift One not subtle, one not on the list Send away for a perfect world One not simply so absurd In these times of doing what you're told Keep these feelings, no one knows Whatever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart And I'm starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45) Swimmin' through the ashes of another life (Another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Starin' down the barrel of a .45 Send a message to the unborn child "Keep your eyes open, for a while In a box high up on the shelf Left for you, no one else There's a piece of a puzzle known as life Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight" Whatever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart And I'm starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45) Swimmin' through the ashes of another life (Another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Starin' down the barrel of a .45 Everyone's pointing their fingers Always condemning me And nobody knows what I believe I believe And I'm starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45) Swimmin' through the ashes of another life (Another life) No real reason to accept the way things have changed Starin' down the barrel of a .45 And I'm starin' down the barrel of a .45 (Woah) And I'm swimmin' through the ashes of another life (Woah) There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed (Woah) Starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45) .45 Starin' down the barrel of a .45

Why out of all of the god-forsaken shitholes do we have to meet here? What, were they psychos? Do they look like psychos? Is that what they look like? Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them! I don't give a fuck how crazy they are! I know you're out there. I can feel you. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. Everybody be cool. You, be cool. Leave your town house Feel the ocean floor We don't have to fall There's a hell holding on So leave the stars, hon I'll settle for your soul Leave the mountains Open your door Do they know something we don't? They are led by a woman. What does a woman know? Let me get this straight. They ripped out your guts and they stuffed them in jars. And then they take out your heart as well. Oh, and you know how they took out your brain? They take a sharp, red-hot poker, stick it up your nose, scramble things about a bit, and then rip it all out through your nostrils. She is a wild one, isn't she? You're a fuckin' dead man! Hold on and think! Think it through, man. I'm the only one who knows where she is. I'm the only one, so let me talk. Let me talk. Leave your town house Feel the ocean floor We don't have to fall There's a hell holding on So leave the stars high I'll settle for your soul You crossed the line, and people trusted you and they died. I think I'll kill you. Think of my children! You don't have any children. Tell him to let her go! Sorry, I can't do it, bro. They're on the road. Where we're going there are no phones, so you are shit out of luck. Fuck! Man, I hate this, I really do. I hate violence. Don't you see that's why I need you? I could never do that, man. I could never. She was my woman. We shared time. Zoey is a mechanism, you know? Once you set it in motion, it will not stop. She's got this gift, this blankness. When 3'o'clock comes, he will gut her like a pig. There's nothing I can do about it unless I get there. So, I guess that makes us partners. 'Cause we both have the same goal, to get me where I need to go, right? Feel the ocean floor We don't have to fall There's a halo holding on So leave the stars on I'll settle for your soul Leave the mountains Open your door We're wasting time. Oh, that's what I love about you. You are just as sharp as a razor. Put the plane down. Top off the tanks. Ok you guys, it's party time! Let's move it! All I'm asking for is 90 seconds of your life, that's it. You see, it's basic dog psychology. If you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. Yet, if you project weakness, you draw aggression. That's how people get hurt. You see, fear causes hesitation. Hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true. So, it's simple. If you project strength, you avoid conflict. Peace through superior firepower. Can't have you walking through those doors with your dick in your hand, right? I can't do this. Sure, you can. Who knows, you might like it. It's a killer rush. This is your fucking wake-up call, man! I know man! Isn't it wild?! We can exist on a different plane. We can make our own rules. Why be a servant to the law when you can be its master? G'day! I love this fuckin' job!

Oh father, it's getting darker here As the years pass And father, I'm the whispers on the lake The 28th day She'll be bleeding again And in lupine ways We'll alleviate the pain Don't spill a drop dear Let me kiss the curse away Yourself in my mouth Will you leave me with your taste? Unholy water Sanguine Addiction Those silver bullets Our last blood benediction The tears made circles on the still water The circles made the waves The waves raised the tide and made the rain fall Raised the lights on the lake Don't spill a drop dear Let me kiss the curse away Yourself in my mouth Will you leave me with your taste? Unholy water Sanguine Addiction Those silver bullets Our last blood benediction From the panes a green mist swirls Is it a shadow of reflection? This apparition in moon beams bathed A voice like wind through trees beckons Cool rain on hot summer stone The odor fills my presence Of freshly dug grave and death and night These things are her essence Nocturnal mistress, spirit lover Your mouth of wine and woodsmoke taste My goddess of the violet twilight You are lust incarnate In the sweat of my bed The eastern sky hints of dawning Alone and exhausted I lie Oh father, it's getting darker here As the years pass And father, I'm the whispers on the lake Lights on water Don't spill a drop dear Let me kiss the curse away Yourself in my mouth Will you leave me with your taste? Unholy water Sanguine Addiction Those silver bullets Our last blood benediction The tears made circles on the stale water The circles made the waves The waves raised the tide and made the rain fall Raised the lights on the lake The tears made circles on the stale water The circles made the waves The waves raised the tide and made the rain fall Raised the lights on the lake

Another year has passed, and another album is dropped...

What is aging but an unavoidable process every human is forced to endure? Wouldn't it be nice if we could all live just a little bit longer?
