strange bedfellows
odd man out
I’m taking a walk
to the edge of my mind
and checking you outlet’s go
same old story
back to ancient times
allegiance is a matter
of opinion sometimes
and you got to
make up your mindcome on
yeahtune to in
to the situation
sign on the dotted line
and if I have given(?)
you some hesitation(?)
come on to our sidecome on
yeahstrange bedfellow

A friend is more than a companion
A foe is less than that to me
When you hear the words
The words you long to hear
Open upThe guidance from a close and loved one
Is more important than you think
When your arms are closed
Then open with a key
Secret keyClashed hands shaking in the closet
Hands down, you will have to see
Past lives forgotten and remembered
Act now
When I don’t know where to goEverything that you say to your closest one
Makes you feel like a pain toward everyone
When the words are unkind, you’ll regret the choice
For as long as you choose, there may be rejoice
In the colour of day when you see the truth
Take a step to the front, to the brunt of youth
Understand what they mean when they say the words
When sorry is said, feel it to your bonesAmends is made with a connection
A lonely man becomes a king
When you need the words
The words you long to feel
Listen upThe triumph of a close and loved one
The journey to the golden throne
When the gown is graced
Proceed towards the stage
Golden stageClashed hands shaking in the closet
Hands down, you will have to see
Past plans, verbatim and forgotten
Act now
When I don’t know where to goEverything that you say to your closest one
Makes you feel like a pain toward everyone
When the words are unkind, you’ll regret the choice
For as long as you choose there may be rejoice
In the colour of day, when you see the truth
Take a step to the front to the brunt of youth
Understand what they mean when they say the words
When sorry is said, feel it to your bones -
Faithful
Nobody is faithful
Picking up the weakest
Watching every move
Madman
Everyone‘s a badman
Feeding on the leanest
With everything to lose.
Reach out before you drown
The world is turning upside down
And you know
You‘ve got to kill your darlings
Breathe in the hurricane
And we can start all over again
And you know
You‘ve got to kill your darlings
Idle
Could be suicidal
Picking up the pieces
Stitching up the wounds
Faithless
Everybody‘s faithless
The legions of faceless
Are tearing up the rules
Reach out before you drown
The world is turning upside down
And you know
You‘ve got to kill your darlings
Breathe in the hurricane
And we can start all over again
And you know
You‘ve got to kill your darlings
You can‘t beat them –
you‘ll have to join them
Wake up and look around
Your house is burning to the ground
And you know you have to kill your darlings
And you‘ll do whatever it takes
And you‘ll do whatever it takes
Reach out before you drown
The world is turning upside down
And you know
You‘ve got to kill your darlings
Breathe in the hurricane
And we can start all over again
And you know
You‘ve got to kill your darlings
And you‘ll do whatever it takes -
Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most
Forgot how it feels, well almost
No one to blame, always the same
Open my eyes, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up in flamesIt took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the lightSmashed up my sanity
Smashed up integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what’s left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don’t know what else to doCovered in hope and Vaseline
Still cannot fix this broken machine
Watching the hole, it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
Of the trust I will betray
Give it to me, I throw it away
After everything I’ve done I hate myself for what I’ve becomeIt took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the lightSmashed up my sanity
Smashed up integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what’s left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don’t know what else to doI tried
I gave up
I tried
I gave up
I tried
I gave up
I tried
I gave up
I tried
I gave up
I tried
I gave up
I tried
I gave up
I tried

Smashed up integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what’s left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don’t know what else to do
(Throw it away)
Smashed up my sanity
Smashed up integrity
(Throw it away)
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what’s left of me

Just for a moment
You show me your inner light
Your inner light
And when your heart opens
You show me your inner light
Your inner lightAnd when your heart opens
You show me your inner light
Your inner lightJust for a moment
You show me your inner light
Your inner light
And when your heart opens
You show me your inner light
Your inner lightAnd when your heart opens
You show me your inner light
Your inner lightJust for a moment
You show me your inner light
Your inner light -
They walk the lines
I tear them openThey move in perfect circles
Polish mass and quiet lines
I’ll undo their perfection
Just to watch them vaporizeThey humble for acceptance
Pay for names and cold applause
I stay feral in the shadows
Tearing holes through all their lawsI don’t fit their little boxes
Don’t respond to trained command
There’s no ribbon on my spirit
There’s no leash around these handsEvery time they try to tame me
I just turn more iron-willed
I’m a fire they can’t smother
I’m a voice they couldn’t stillThey march in rhythm chasing higher praise
I run my own beat through the smoking blazeI’m a savage in a civilized world
Unashamed, uncontained, undeterred
I don’t fit the script
Don’t play their game
My soul wasn’t built to kneel and obeyI’m a savage in a civilized world
Let them bleed
Let them beg to belong
I don’t bow, don’t lie, don’t conformI’m a savage in a civilized world
They lace their dreams in cages
Call their caution something wise
But I found truth in chaos
Where the hunting spirit liesTheir hands are tied in comfort
Mine are hooked in my own grip
They speak about the path I take
The path I burned through itThey need a world that likes ’em
I just need a world of taste
They need shelter from the storm
I treat the storm like a kind of kissDon’t invite me to your kingdom
I’ll just rip apart the dome
My religion is defiance
My allegiance is my ownThey march in rhythm chasing higher praise
I run my own beat through the smoking blazeI’m a savage in a civilized world
Unashamed, uncontained, undeterred
I don’t fit the script
Don’t play their game
My soul wasn’t built to kneel and obeyI’m a savage in a civilized world
Let them bleed
Let them beg to belong
I don’t bow, don’t lie, don’t performI’m a savage in a civilized world
Give me coffins
Give me stones
Give me crowns
Give me thornsLet them chase a flawless reign
I was built to break the chainI’m a savage in a civilized world
Untamed, unafraid, uncontrolled
I’ve done marks around (?)
Don’t wear them on my paws
This is why my blood runs boldI’m a savage in a civilized world
Let them kneel to the norm they serve
I don’t blend, don’t bend,
Don’t perform under storm
That we’re warned about since birthI’m a savage in a civilized world
I’m a savage in a civilized world
Uncontained, unrestrained, undeterred
Let them walk in line bowing to the norm
I was built for the wild
Not built to performI’m a savage in a civilized world
I don’t chase, don’t kill
Don’t learn to conform
I don’t blend, don’t beg
Don’t deserve their cause (?)
I’m a savage in a civilized world***not the official lyrics, this is my own transcription, apologies for any misheard lyrics

What seems to be your big problem with me am I so bad?
The more you say you change, the more you stay the same
You’re always mad because I color outside the lines
It’s not wasted time to color outside the lines
It’s not wasted time
What seems to be this big problem with me I’ve been so sad
I even took the time to explain it all a thousand times
But the more I tried to explain, the more it caused me pain
So I gathered up my friends and we colored outside the lines
It’s not wasted time to color outside the lines
So when we walk away
We’ll hang our pictures on the wall you put in front of me
But if we learn some logic and practice on our patience
I am absolutely certain that everything will change in time
It’s not wasted time to color outside the lines
It’s not wasted time
Dreams aren’t wasted time.
It’s not wasted time to color outside the lines
It’s not wasted time to color outside the lines
It’s not wasted time to color outside the lines -
The winter sun has turned its back,
So we gather to the show,
To watch the battle of the Kings,
The earth beneath is frozen deep,
Time to wake him from his sleep,
To fight brother Holly and turn another year,
Praise to the Oak and Holly Kings,
One will live, the other will die,
To be reborn again,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Light, dark, night and day.A cold moonbeam and a warm sunray,
Battle to rule this sacred isle,
Centuries have come and gone,
The timeless struggle carries on,
Kept alive in all true pagan hearts.Praise to the Oak and Holly Kings,
One will live, the other will die,
To be, reborn again, to be, reborn again,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,And the snow-queen casts her spell,
Over every hill and vale,Praise to the Oak and Holly Kings,
One will live, the other will die,
To be, reborn again, to be, reborn again,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land,
Green Man, the hunter, O King of all this land, -
Stretched as far as you can take it
Ripped and torn apart
You alone blame yourself againIt was a beautiful mistake
Colored by all the ghosts you hide away
New truths, new hope, new fate
With seven sins laid at your sideWith every best intention
Collisions, missteps and fractured hearts
And this won’t be the last of them, noIt was a beautiful mistake
Shattering all the face you try to save
New truths, new hope, new fate
With precious seconds to decideIt’s finding your pace
It’s finding your way through this
Coming away with egg on your face
And feel the sting and the sour
Throughout the hours and never
Feel it could ever fix
This overwhelming crucible
Can be overcomeI love your beautiful mistakes
Colored by all the life you found along the way
New truths, new hope, new fate
This is your moment to decideYour moment to decide
This is your moment to decide
Your moment to decide -
If I can’t let you go, will darkness divide?
For the fiction of love is the truth of our lies
We were playing for keeps, but we both knew the cost
Now the only way out’s in your heart-shaped box (heart-shaped box)But I hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding, but never gave up
And I hate that I made you the enemy
And I hate that your heart was the casualty
Now I hate that I need youAs we rest here alone like notes on a page
The finest to compose could not play our pain
With a candle through time, I could still see your ghost
But I can’t close my eyes, for it
For it is there where you haunt me most (haunt me most)
Where you haunt me mostI hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding, but never gave up
And I hope that I stain through your memory
As we echo through time in the melody
Now I hate that I need youAnd I hear you now when you said it hurt
But it had to fall, fall apart to work
As I see you now in what’s left of me
Is it too late to plead insanity?(I won’t let go) ’cause I hate that it seemed you were never enough
Yeah, we’re broken and bleeding in the name of love
And I hope that we meet in another life
I hope that we meet in another life
I don’t hate that I need you (I don’t hate that I need you)
I don’t hate that I need you (I don’t hate that I need you)
I don’t hate that I need youIs this all you want? Satisfied with what’s left
Of a broken heart, fighting for every breath
I can give you more ’cause in this tomb I’ve laid
Fighting for your heart
Your debts have all been paidDark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just lightJust light
No more tears to cry, joy can take their place
And there’s freedom here, I have won your race
You’re perfect to me, ’cause when I look at you
I see myself and the triumphs you’ve been throughDark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just lightDark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just lightJust light
Dark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just light
