My music sounds like I play too many video games and read too many comic books. This is probably because I play too many video games and read too many comic books.

Track Name: Play
Don't think I don't know where this is going
I invented the curve balls you think you're throwing
yet you have the nerve to smile back cutely
you didn't really think you'd fooled me?

I dare you to push me a little bit more
you're nothing I haven't defeated before
you can't play a player, hon
I've played all the games before
and I've won

Ping-pong words back-and-forth, our conversations were never more than you saying something and me nodding my head
I was too taken by whatever it was you had to disagree
but I'm smarter now
I even broke my rule for you, the one that says
"never again trust another member of the human race"
now you're caught in your act, yet you keep it up
I swear, there's nothing worse than you

I dare you to lie to me a little bit more
there's nothing I haven't seen before
you can't kid a kidder, hon
I've played all these games before

Sacrifice doesn't count if you just take it right back
I know you know
that's not how it works, that's not how it works
if it's convenient then it's not love
Track Name: Neon Ain't Starlight
Empty people
with empty voices
ellerwomen and other types
deep as paper and twice as sharp
I came here searching for something starry
but it's just been one dim bulb after another

add to the noise add to the noise add to the noise you just add to the noise...

I'm past anger
I'm past indignation
I'm past disappointment
I'm past caring
oh, there's no more room for me with so many of you here
you're all the same and you're all loud

add to the noise add to the noise add to the noise you just add to the noise...
Track Name: Not Human Enough for You
Electric guitars can break
rubber bands can snap
but I won't, I won't,
I'm constant like that
I'm a fill-in-the-blank
for whatever you need
you just happen to need
an enemy
I'm a body with no soul
a shadow, a black hole
there's nothing in me but everything
is drawn to me

What you want I should do?
So I'm not human enough for you?
And it's you who decides this
so I have to run away and hide like this?
it's not me who gets to choose
born to arbitrary rules
locked up and ridiculed
why be human just for you?
Track Name: Lonely Asteroid
step me or mire pillar esper be a blower gum
echo donut we a dunny boozy being be we are
step me or mire pillar esper be a blower gum
echo donut we a dunny boozy being be we aren't
Track Name: Fanfare for a Million Martyrs
I don't feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for me
and we who must now do without them
they're alright, they've just gone home
after doing what they came to do

I don't feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for me...

we'll see them again, we'll see them again
it's okay to miss them, but we'll see them again
we'll see them again
it's okay to miss them in the meantime
but we'll see them again
Track Name: The World Belongs to Us Gamers
The world belongs to us gamers
To us schemers and players
The world belongs to us gamers
To us schemers and players
Track Name: Supercomputer DIVA
Input code, input key
master file, master me
everything you want is within
art was invented by a woman
S U P E R C O M P U T E R D I V A
Codename: DIVA

Endless fever, endless fun
so ended, so begun
you have everything you wanted to know
you ruined everything, GO

Input code, input key
master file, master me
everything you want is within
art was invented by a woman
Track Name: Music Sounds Better at Night
Something happens when the sun goes down
the darkness lends resonance to the sound
no one believes me but I know that I'm right
it's tested and proven: music sounds better at night

It's strange, seeing you here
after so long
strange, that you'd think of me
when you did me wrong
I'm back here again
but somehow still gone
strange seeing myself awake again
after so long

When you all went and left me on my own
I took up playing music alone
after a while I found that i got along
I don't need anyone if I've got a song

It's totally over, the fat lady's singing
so don't wake me up, dear, I'm happier dreaming
because the personal city I've spent a lifetime building
has melted away like one of those crappy donuts with the soggy filling
