New Tool - Not New Bayside

    • Immunity long overdue
      Contagion I exhale you
      Lying I opened up to you
      Venom in mania

      Now, contagion I exhale you

      The deceiver he says you belong to me
      You don’t want to breathe the light of the others
      Fear the light
      Fear the breathe
      Fear the others for eternity
      But I hear them now inhale the clarity
      Hear the venom, the venom in what you say — inoculated
      Bless this immunity
      Bless this immunity
      Bless this immunity

      Exhale, expel
      Recast my tale
      Weave my allegorical elegy

      Enumerate
      All that I’m to do
      Calculating steps away from you
      My own mitosis
      Growing through delusion from mania

      Exhale, expel
      Recast my tale with my allegorical elegy

      Forfeit all control
      You poison
      You spectacle

      Exorcise the spectacle
      Exorcise the malady
      Exorcise the disparate
      Poison for eternity
      Purge me and evacuate
      The venom and the fear that binds me

      Unveil now
      Lift away
      I see you running
      Deceiver chased away
      A long time coming
    • I will change, I will change
      I swear, just tell me what to do
      Just tell me who to be
      And I'll be who you want me to
      Pretend I don't exist
      You won't know I'm in the room
      I'll be the ghost of something
      That used to mean something to you
      This beaten up heart
      Is lost and confused
      I wish that my younger self was here
      He'd know just what to do
      Boy could he talk
      Well he'd know just what to say
      Moving up is moving on from where you came
      Stop me if I'm boring you
      I'm painfully aware
      That you've got better ways to waste your time, time, time
      I will change, I will change
      I swear, just tell me what to do
      Just tell me who to be
      And I'll be who you want me to
      Pretend I don't exist
      You won't know I'm in the room
      I'll be the ghost of something
      That used to mean something to you
      Say this isn't real
      Say this was a joke
      Say there's still space for me in bed
      Cause I can't live alone
      Oh pitiful me, I'll do anything you say
      I'd soon as suffocate with you than stay away
      And I knew all this years ago
      But couldn't take the hint
      You match my overcompensation
      With your own ambivalence
      I will change, I will change
      I swear, just tell me what to do
      Just tell me who to be
      And I'll be who you want me to
      Pretend I don't exist
      You won't know I'm in the room
      I'll be the ghost of something
      That used to mean something to you
      When I got the call
      I was on the road
      Three weeks in Europe 'til I got home
      So what would make you stay
      I'll build a mountain I'll change my name
      I don't have to breathe if all my air gets in your way
      I will change, I will change
      I swear, just tell me what to do
      Just tell me who to be
      And I'll be who you want me to
      Pretend I don't exist
      You won't know I'm in the room
      I'll be the ghost of something
      That used to mean something to you
      That should've meant something to you
