Pikachu's Lament (feat. Sam & Bill) [Red Version] - The Living Tombstone

I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly" But it's folly when you volley for position Never in existence has there been such a resistance To ideas meant to free us If you could see us, then you'd listen Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages There's no union We're only through when we outdo the competition I make toys, but I've got aspirations Make some noise Use your imagination Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for There's a list for who's been Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous I make toys, but I've got aspirations Make some noise Use your imagination Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for There's a list for who's been Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf You look at yourself You're an elf And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition We, the undersigned, feel undermined Let's redefine "employment" We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went I make toys, but I've got aspirations Make some noise Use your imagination Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for There's a list for who's been Naughty or nice, but consider the price Naughty or nice, but consider the price Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf

You're losing yourself With the life that you are leading, honey You're somebody else when you pick up the phone You're falling apart Every time he says he needs you, baby And please, it's breaking my heart, to see you go on You say my name and the world turns Hold me in your arms and my heart burns Like the sunlight And I can't fight The way you hypnotize me like you do I see your eyes and my day starts You tell all your lies and you break hearts I still need you 'Cause I'm free to My daydream may be fake But babe, you are too You're letting him win You forgive him and he smiles and carries on You're giving it up You're living a lie I know, you can't be alone You would rather what you have than the unknown You poison yourself, but you're enjoying the show You say my name and the world turns Hold me in your arms and my heart burns Like the sunlight And I can't fight The way you hypnotize me like you do I see you rise and my day starts You tell all your lies, and you break hearts I still need you 'Cause I'm free too My daydream may be fake But babe, you are too Love is blind when you are staring at the sun You close your eyes 'cause you got nowhere to run When you lose your home Your heart has nowhere left to turn Let it burn, let it burn I'm yours until you've had all your fun I'm losing myself (I'm losing myself, I'm losing myself) You smile and I get sunburn (sunburn, sunburn)

He could not save us all He could not save us all And no one's left to take the fall He's trapped inside his walls He did not say goodbye He's playing God, decide who lives or dies It's his design He's trapped inside his mind Hello neighbor, glad that you could drop by But it's a bad time And I'm a little tied up at the moment So if you'd leave me alone and say goodbye I won't ask about your wandering eye Sorry, I can't come to the door for more I feel like we barеly see each other And you're only nеxt door Did you try to say hello before and miss me? I assure you nothing's wrong, I've just been very busy Much to be done in such little time It's enough to make somebody crumble Undone and as they stumble to outrun their mind Look at me mumbling, you're getting impatient Well, why don't you come in? I'll show you the basement What are you spying for? I'm just curious What are you lying for? It makes me furious Oh, you shouldn't have come looking for trouble Don't struggle, hold on, let me get my shovel He could not save us all He could not save us all And no one's left to take the fall He's trapped inside his walls He did not say goodbye He's playing god, decide who lives or dies It's his design He's trapped inside his mind I'm a brainiac I'm on the edge, they're calling me a maniac I'm on the ledge, who knows which way I may react? Apostle of the technical, erecting the impossible A feat of engineering veering into disarray The way that every memory's sending me to a place Where every friend of me's my enemy Retrace the steps I went on that dismember me Can I build a machine that can filter the screams in my head? Can I scheme in between all the themes of the dreams of the dead? I have lost all that I am willing to lose It's got me confused, it's got me unhinged Paranoid that I will lose the boy and you will win My mind is a museum, every painting is a scar They're calling me extreme But what the hell does that make what they are? I'm chasing shadows in the dark I'm chasing all the fallen feathers in the park A raven saying nevermore They're paving over secrets held forevermore I'll master hell, so what do I need heaven for? He could not save us all He could not save us all And no one's left to take the fall He's trapped inside his walls He did not say goodbye He's playing god, decide who lives or dies It's his design He's trapped inside his mind He could not save us all Left to take the fall Trapped inside his walls Trapped inside his Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
