Innovated For Your Entertainment (2013)

1.) Pilot

[Instrumental]

2.) Hostage

My mind’s filled with frightening temptations
You’ve got me trapped in our conversations
Can’t feel a thing, no pleasure or pain
Have I finally crossed to insane?
Well this place, it sure looks familiar
Unfriendly and cold it’s painting a picture
Back when we could bond so well
But we know that’s all gone to hell
Now it seems I’m only a victim
A strange set of plans, just part of your system
There’s no hope or chance of departure
Your hostage, your slave, your prey you must capture

I keep on calling, but no one is listening

Is this the end of it all?
If you can hear this I need you so bad right now

Can you please help me at all?
I’m still stuck here waiting with feet nailed to the floor

I’m desperately clinging to hope
I know that it’s no use, so sick of the abuse

and still finding some way to cope

I’ve tried planning endless escape routes
But all have been blocked by worries and self doubts
In fear of your violent behavior
Wish I could scream, call out for a savior
All my efforts are weak and so useless
But every attack feels even more ruthless
If I was strong you know I would try
But now I fear this life ‘til I die
I’m just a prisoner of our own war
And like most what’s the fight for?
Scared for my life until the end
I’ll never give up, I’ll never give in

3.) Same Damn Thing

Saying the same thing over and over again,

Never should be said
These endless thoughts are clouding my vision,

and swimming through my head
I should stop now before everything

Starts to fall apart
You'd think I'd learn from all of my experiences

But I'm not quite that smart

‘Cause it's the same damn thing
Again and again.
Same bite and sting
Just to know where I've been
Followed my own damn heart
Just to book it and run.
Right back to the start
Can't see what I've done

Yeah it's the same damn thing
Again and again.
Same bite and sting
Just to know where I've been.
And I know it's me
I knew all along
Let me hear you scream
You're right I was wrong

Hearing the same thing over and over again,

Never seems to end
This time's just one too many it seems,

Far too late to mend
This vicious cycle lasts for eternity,

Oh god help me now
I was told that everything will get better,

But I just can't see how


4.) Chica Nerd De

She's all alone and never knows why
Just left out with no explanation
No one ever gives her a chance
Just pushed aside, no consideration
She's stronger now than they'd ever know
And smarter too well that's for sure
But times a change and make you yearn,
Now watch as all your tables turn

Nerd girl turned beautiful
Is pursued 'til she'll
Turn back to her world
Which place will she decide?
Will they coincide?
Or will it all unfurl?

She's got the choice, a new found voice,
Yet somehow things just don't feel right
Surrounded now by mobs and crowds,
No longer can she sleep at night
It's all too much, the tricks of fame,
No more she says it's too insane.
She must find some way out of here,
But what to do its so unclear


5.) Say Good Night

I wish that I was perfect
Can you tell me if it's worth it
Just please don't take your time
You already stole too much of mine

I wish that you would smile
Makes things better for awhile
But I guess if we're not right
There's no need to say goodnight

Lately I have wondered why my thoughts are so tempting,
But my words sound so empty
I'm no good for this and your no good for me
You won't believe it now but trust me
We're better off somewhere else, happier, with someone else
We're only kidding ourselves don't you see?
I would never lie to you, it's the last thing that I want to do,
and that's why I think you don't need me

What will it take to re-animate, my confidence is fading
Things aren't quite how they used to be
But whats with all the lies, the hiding and disguise,
well that's not all I hear her saying
We're better off somewhere else, happier, with someone else.
We're only kidding ourselves don't you see?
I would never lie to you, it's the last thing that I want to do,
and that's why I think, you don't need me

Lately I have found out why my thoughts are so tempting,
and yet my words sound so empty
I'm no good at this, and we're no good you see.
You won't believe it now but trust me

I think we should just move on.


6.) Take Me Away

I was just walking down the street when I saw
this beautiful girl so I asked her name
"What's it to you?" she said, starting to walk away
"Just the beginning" I said to her
Quickly she turned back around and then asked me
"Do you know what you'll get yourself into?"
Gladly I replied without any words
I took her hand and we made our way

We've got places to be
The whole world to see
Just say yes and follow me
We'll take a chance
Not a backwards glance
Is this a rush or is this romance?

It's become years now and we've made it somehow
I guess we're for sure that we're here to stay
Though something is wrong and now not quite as strong
We need to find some way out of here
I began searching, planning and researching
I finally found what's been missing
We packed up and left town moving all around
It's time to be gone and on our way

7.) Common Place

Well there are some girls out there that want a little bit more
But the ones that I see well they're just plain whores
You got the chicks with the tits and not enough clothes
As santa likes to call them ho ho hoes

I know this girl who makes me wanna hurl
You wanna know why, ‘cause she did some guy (what?)
No protection, just straight up erection
Call MTV, I'm 16 and pregnant

Well there are some guys out there that want a little bit more
But the ones that I see are just trying to score
They seem to think they're the shit, king of all of the cliques
Never realizing they're just hypocrites
               
I know this guy yeah, he was pretty cool
Until he got kicked out of school (haha)
Smoking weed in the parking lot
Then went home and did a round of shots (oh)

Cut the shit now come on people

Can’t you see what's going on?

Get out of this blur your in and
Fix a world full of wrong
Come on now, let's get real here
Is this really what you want?
Kids already grow up too fast
Parents act so nonchalant


8.) Waste of Time

Don't say that you don't care, you know it was unfair
To act like you will ever forgive me
I tried not to argue, or hold it against you
It’s too late to say what you think about me

It's more than blind passion to feed this burning need and
It's gonna take persuasion to conquer all this greed and
It's more than the lies pretending that we're fine
It's more than those stupid fights I've wasted so much time.

(I gotta get you...)
Out of my mind, just a matter of time
And I don’t think I’ll be just fine
It's more than wrong, and just not right,
Leaving me so alone tonight
I won't be tied down to those chains,
The chains that’ve caused me so much pain
and I'll warn the rest to avoid this fate,
Before it all ends up too late

It feels like an age, where life is so fake
and I'm giving more than I'll ever take
You're just a waste of time, and I won't be fine,
Here with you and all the things you do



9.) Where In the World?

It's been so long can I see you again?
Where in the world have you been?
I've been so lost now can you find me?
Where in the world could you be?

One more day just seems too many,
Can I hold on until then?
Pass the time I'm counting seconds,
1,2,3,4,5,6,10
I've been waiting oh so long now,
Enough to lose my one track mind
I need you here, I need you closer
You're the one I need to find

Every breath inhaled is magic,
and I miss it terribly
Again already, it's so tragic
I really need you here with me
I've been waiting oh so long now,
Enough to lose my one track mind
I need you here, I need you closer
You're the one I need to find


10.) Maple Leaf

Hey there how did I get here?
Come on now give me an answer
This place seems so familiar,
But I know I've never been here
This world is just is just like another,
But feels so much better
It's painless and easy to get to.
It almost seems to good to be true

Fall asleep knowing its no longer night,
Keep telling yourself it's alright
Awake to the sunrise swear never to leave,
But now I know that it's all make believe

As I woke up the next day,
I knew that I could not stay
Where my thoughts seem to wander,
To a place so much fonder
My only wish is to go back,
‘Cause then I'd finally be happy
Now that this dream is no more,
I've got to find what I'm here for

11.) Interlude

[Instrumental]

12.) All My Friends

Well I... know I'm not the only one who wants to just be someone else,
To run away and end the day before my brain tries to convulse
It doesn't help there's no agreement the fake bullshit, oh now you mean it?
This guilt trips going nowhere fast I swear I'm having such a blast

What if no one out there wants you?
Even though we've all made amends
Well it's sad but it's still the truth
And I now I've lost all my friends

I don't know what's going on, but I'll admit that I was wrong
So should everyone I guess, but now it's just a fucked up mess
It's funny how your ice cold words burnt so many bridges now
So condescending and offending, empty feelings fill me now


13.) A Love/Hate Relationship

Assertive, unheard of, you’re the kind of girl that I need
Delicious, suspicious, I somehow want you under my skin
You're crazy, amazing, and have me wrapped around your finger
Delightful, yet spiteful, that's the best and all I have now

Tear me apart ‘cause you know I like it
Tell me what's right and I won't even fight it
I know it's not right but one day you'll see,
I love you more, the more you hate me

Controlling, and holding, my whole life right out of my reach
The whining, and crying, just to get what you desire
You're flaunting, I'm wanting, but I know it's not meant to be
I just need to leave now, but that’s easier said than done

14.) Fight for It

I fight and fight but none of it impresses you
No more I tell myself cause this just won't do
You used me over and over ‘til I collapsed
Now and then I think of us even in this relapse

You quickly run away from all of your problems
Never knowing what they were or where the issue stems
I worried you over and over ‘til you cried
Things don't always go as planned but at least we tried

Together, we'll never, decide which way to go
Forever I'm tethered, I shouldn't like it although,
it feels like,  we're always on a reality show
This drama, can't end us, I just can't let you go
 

15.) Fall of Technology

[Instrumental]

16.) Dreams

From day one you're always told what you cannot do
It seems not so but just look back and you may find it true
Your dreams and such ambitious goals get trampled everyday
From the old and foolish to the new it's all been thrown away

Outside I watch dreams fall to pieces and can't help wonder why
They all say these dreams are so useless, it's just the biggest lie

As life goes on you're always questioned, what you will become
But why ask if they have no faith it even could be done
I just can't stand the ever constant negativity
Of all the others judging you on what you'll never be

Inside I see kids fall to pieces, as all of their hopes die
Someone out there's got to tell them, just give it one more try
