they had the flood lights on you
saying you’re not gonna make it this time
they beat your body
took your will then they took your mind
sent you back to me, said,
"get what you can then leave him behind"
they’re gun gun gunning for you
your lips curl out from your face
like they got something to prove
and when they’re moving at night I think
you’re finally telling the truth
you’ve been running your whole life singing,
"if you’ve got nothing you’ve got nothing to lose"
they’re gun gun gunning for you, love
when you wake up you’ll be in your own bed
when you wake up it won’t be your thoughts in your head
wake up wake up wake up wake up
wake up wake up wake up wake up
they’re gun gun gunning
they’re gun gun gunning
they’re gun gun gunning for you

Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me
I've had this headache for six days straight
and I know it's you knocking around in there
this heart aches but it just won't break
and it's just not fair, it's just not fair
that you stepped out of a poem I'd read
you were dark and brooding, I was sure you were dead
but you were singing and laughing and dancing and praying as you talked me
through the night
saying "it'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right"
Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me
you were the wind blowing through this house
coming up my lungs and out my mouth
but you don't talk to me anymore
and I'm trying to be strong, I'm trying to be strong
"it'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right"
Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me
Were you a ghost, were you a dream, were you just meant to hurt me

You’re sitting at the table
watching jacks fly around
making bets you can’t pay
letting chips fall to the ground
made your money selling your torture
made your friends by being so lonely
got your name hiding what you knew
they couldn’t pin it on you, pin it on you
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
got your hands in your pockets
clutching at the fabric of a green, green dress
it’s the last that you took from her
on the day that she left, the day that she left
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
you get up and your chair tips back
bullets are flying and you laugh laugh laugh
just give up, you won’t get her back
smoke is rising and you laugh laugh laugh
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me
don’t follow me, don’t follow me (no, no, no)
stay with me, walk with me

I know you want to lay down and sleep
until you don’t wake up
I know you want to lay down your body
for an idea that’s made up
it would be easier it would it be clear
if I could go on just believing
but doesn’t have to end right here
I liked you best when you are singing
is it over, is it over?
baby it is over.
I know you want to lay down and sleep

I liked you best when you are asking
is it over, is it over?
baby it is over.

Take off your mask when you talk to me
Let your clothes fall so I can see
Take off your mask when you talk to me
Your voice cuts through the sky like a windmill
I see myself in your eyes when you hold still
We can start over once i leave this hospital
When my heart stops beating hammer in to anvil
Take off your mask when you talk to me
Take off your mask when you talk to me
Let your clothes fall so I can see
Take off your mask when you talk to me

If they want the truth
They’ll just come take it
if they want proof
They’ll just create it
In their ties and suits
Win or lose
It’s degree absolute

Go on escape
you can’t go home
Come back it’s fate
you’re still on your own
In fatigues and boots
You don’t get to choose
It’s degree absolute
It’s degree absolute
In their browns and blues
Forgive what is due
It’s degree absolute
Degree absolute
In their ties and suits
Win or lose
It’s degree absolute
It’s degree absolute
In fatigues and boots
You won’t get to choose
It’s degree absolute
It’s degree absolute
In their browns and blues
Forgive what is due

Very experimental hiphop, sometimes minimalist, sometimes pushing the instrumentals in noise territory. The flows of all the MCs and their lyricism are pretty awesome, and the texts are fantastically written. It's just a great album for any rap music and hip hop music lover.
