i want to make you a superstar
in all the ways you tried before
to rise above the every day
morass of our dying age
i want to make you a superstar
and watch the world just come apart
it's not meant for faerie tales
or those who live outside of themselves
life and love are just faerie tales
choose to believe and we make them real
refuse a world so dark and hollow
no matter the wounds to follow

tea party of the dead
we never learned being right without hate
this tower is simply our fate
take comfort to see that all we believe
things our father's knew in their reprieve
the lost they can never come in
kept out by the weight of their sin
and i won't lift a hand to free
those who choose to disagree
but look how we're casting off shackles
of the weak we cast out to the jackals
smirk and just drink to their health
these chains can carry our wealth
but who am i
to lock you out again
the least of these
i've shunned as a friend

communist dance party (and youth choir)
hey
hey
hey
let's start this again
start getting along
pretend that we cared
pretend we never faltered
pop your hips
say it quick
your lips hold us for only so long
take a breath
hold it in
what you're waiting for won't drown
you
hey
hey
hey
lets try this again
try growing apart
without all this bitterness
without all this hurt
but friends are there to share the hurt
with "brother i've been there to"
"just open these doors"
"i can't it's too hard"
"but i'll try again"
"comrade, you're one of the few"

shut up about one piece
awkwardly holding our heads
it is pride we littered here
pull your hands to your sleeves
winter's the reason, hide your shame
and cover the source of our fear
i loved you too much
to say what i felt
"i'm okay" will carry us through
this night full of months never ends
years passed in another last weekend
our last hour to know
awkwardly holding our hands
it is loss rescued from gain
pull your hood over head
summer's we bear, revel in pain
and dance around the source of our fear
traitors we stay, with hearts all aflame, come to knowing again
your open complain, to miss all that's real
traitors we stay, with hearts all aflame, come to knowing again (i miss)
your honest disdain, what made me feel
traitors we stay, with hearts all aflame, never knowing again
it is pride we littered here
pull your hands to your sleeves
winter's the reason, hide your shame
and cover the source of our fear
i loved you too much
to say what i felt
"i'm okay" will carry us through
this night full of months never ends
years passed in another last weekend

pull your hood over head
summer's we bear, revel in pain
and dance around the source of our fear
traitors we stay, with hearts all aflame, come to knowing again
your open complain, to miss all that's real
traitors we stay, with hearts all aflame, come to knowing again (i miss)
your honest disdain, what made me feel
traitors we stay, with hearts all aflame, never knowing again
