Book Upon My Shelf

Your attitude colors the shape of the decisions you make,
The choice I chose was to choose what I beleive is fake,
Your mind won't compromise the feelings you shake, girl,
The time that's flying won't be gathered with a rake.
Everybody cares that nobody cares,
The world is a wall and I'm a blank stare,
I spoke to god, I was talking to myself,
This seemed kinda odd or psychotic if nothing else, I said,
I said where you been man I've been looking for some help,
The devil shined his eyes behind a book upon my shelf.
Book upon my, book upon my, book upon my shelf.
I've been looking back upon the things that I had done,
A demon held my hand and pointed towards the gun,
I was just a boy when I had flown into the sun,
I had to catch the sunset before the moon had all the fun.
Book upon my, book upon my, book upon my shelf.
I said where you been man I've been looking for some help,
The devil shined his eyes behind a book upon my shelf.

Vampire Song

I sucked your blood,
I showed you my true love,
Cause I'm a vampire,
And I'm for hire too.
Believe me this is true,
I'd take a walk with you
And show you my good time,
It's red but it's not wine.
I turned em all it was a sunny afternoon,
I drank away until my head was a balloon,
I knew that they have had this coming all along now,
I hope you don't beleive I'm wrong.
I sucked your blood,
I showed you vampire love,
It's all I got to give,
Pass it on to your kids,
Don't go in the sun,
Believe me it's not fun,
It makes me so happy,
That you are just like me.
I turned em all it was a sunny afternoon,
I know it's twisted but I'm twisting it towards you,
It's just the way I am, and I don't think it's wrong,
So I wrote myself a vampire song.

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Little Red Riding Hood,
I don't think little big girls should,
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.
What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased,
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.
What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.
Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.
What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied,
Just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way,
Before we get to grandma's place.
Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.

Officer

And it's never ending, ever ascending,
Less I know,
And I hear you talkin' as I'm walkin'
To your grave,
And it's picture perfect, but it's not worth it,
Can't you tell?
Oh, officer, are you out or in control?
'Cause I'm not sure if you can cure my disease if I'm not sick,
Clock time wrong, off beat click,
Are you dead or in deep sleep?
Counting sheep, 'Cause I'm not sure.
And It's never ending, It's ever ascending,
Can't you say?
That it's not perfect. but it's still worth it,
Everyday.
And I hear you talkin' as I'm walkin',
To my grave.
Oh, officer, are you out or in control?
'Cause I'm not sure if you can cure my disease if I'm not sick,
Clock time wrong, off beat click,
Are you dead or in deep sleep?
Counting sheep, 'Cause I'm not sure.
