This encounter's a trap, and I don't even know where it's at I've seen self-sabotage one thousand times before Do you want me to go? Do you want me to go? 'Cause you keep calling back And I still have to bend the truth; it's not worth upsetting you I've learned to be a shameless liar Such forceful accusations and violent conversations Help create a war that we keep fighting, 'cause we're soldiers in disguise We're in disguise Adored by superficial Hollywood Natural feelings don't feel like they should A rotten punchline when the joke's no good And just when things start looking better I like to kick them to the side They say the grass is always greener Until I spray the pesticide So dysfunctional Do you want me to go? Do you want me to go? You keep coming back We're done I still have to bend the truth I'm sure it's upsetting you We breed a bunch of little liars She craves the contents of my loaded gun (Oh, Syrah) Squeeze out a round onto your eager tongue A gorgeous girl embracing womanhood I'm on a date with instant gratitude A good hard fuck should fix your attitude Caught in a romantic war, we keep on fighting 'Cause we're soldiers, yeah Big bad soldiers, yeah Fucking soldiers, soldiers in disguise We're in disguise Adored by superficial Hollywood Natural feelings don't feel like they should A rotten punchline when the joke's no good And just when things start looking better I like to kick you to the side They say the grass is always greener Until I spray the pesticide Syrah Syrah Syrah Syrah Syrah Syrah Syrah You're always looking back

Hunting is in our blood Hunting is in our blood I'm not yet a father I'm not yet a father Watch out, Demoiselle So intrigued, I'm watching hormones at their finest And he's desperate to fuck Eat it up, he's saying anything it takes to be inside her Lies are used so that she'll lose her clothes She'll just blush Baited with liquor, hook line and sinker Now he's got her (Slayin') someone's daughter They might insist that they're different from the rest This is a tactic used often by the lady-killer But first Calculate timing, orchestrate touching Arranging all the little tricks to play In his bed, willingly spread by two Baited with liquor, hook line and sinker Hook line and sinker Girl, you're still alone, but you're never home Does he get you off? Do I get you off? Do I? Now he's got her (Slayin') someone's daughter They might insist that they're different from the rest This is a tactic used often Stop, close your fucking legs This is all they crave Hunting is in our... Hunting is in our... BLOOD! I'm not yet a father I'm not yet a father Watch out, Demoiselle Watch out, Demoiselle At the bar, the hopeful hunters roam Finding prey, they drink, then stumble home Altered judgement helps them make the kill Once inside, he knows he's sealed the deal The deal We all try just a little bit But there's some who go further They're so wrong He's so wrong to be deceitful Do you believe it? Why can't you see it? Do I?

I don't know why, but sometimes I wonder deeply What I would do if you passed away I think of words, words that I wish I'd told you by the end Dead messages I can still say to you Why should I sit with fear? We all know that tragedies are never fair Wait, do I have an issue? Dreaming you're gone just to see if I'd miss you No, no it hurts to imagine Letting go and wearing black the day we know you're never coming home Who decides it's our turn to go? Who decides? Live, because you're dying (quickly) I'm still trying (we don't really know) No, life is a show, and tragedies are never fair We're all given a script that's been written (Blindly, blindly) unaware of who will be Who will be cast? Who will be cast to come home? Time can be unforgiving Status quo on the living (Unknown) What will I (second home) most remember (Buried) from our time (unexposed) spent together? When am I to go? Who'll be there to notice? Will I go alone? Who'll be there? Who'll write my obituary once I find the cemetery? Live, because you're dying (quickly) I'm still trying (we don't really know) No, life is a show, and tragedies are never fair We're all given a script that's been written (Blindly, blindly) unaware of who will be Who will be cast? Who will be cast out? I don't know why, but sometimes I wonder deeply What you would do if I passed away

Will they blame me if you go disappearing? I sometime wonder what it'd be like to be out of my mind It's such a good excuse to commit such heinous crimes That in mind, I'd go find that pathetic little prick He'd be crying by the time that his head met with a brick Dropped in a canyon, help has now arrived Just two of us, but I'm the one alive To pay your debts you owe your life To pay your debts you gotta die Will they blame me if you go disappearing? That selfish pig deserves the chair And I would love to help him get there And I would love to help him get there And I would love to help him get there Regretful rivers flow aplenty in his mind The tributaries are the choices he declined Dropped in a canyon, that's where you'll reside Just two of us, but I'm the one alive That fucking pig deserves to die And I would love to show him why Is there any kill that's worth the bust? Switching roles with God Deciding what to do's a dirty job Screaming why, screaming why Repenting monster Switching roles with God It seems to me you fucking understand Screaming why with shame shoved through your eyes Dropped in a canyon, help has now arrived Just two of us, but I'm the one, I'm the one alive Can I rearrange your veins? Is there any kill that's worth the bust? Is there any kill that's worth the bust? Is there any kill that's worth the bust? Is there any kill that's worth the bust?

Fictional physician I get a large euphoria from such a small formula, yeah, yeah A little paper on the side will be my ticket to ride, yeah, yeah Heavy feeling, refill my way to the sky Happy feeling, replacing doubt in my mind Doctor's orders: take some more; I'm hearing knocks at the door Meddling family, go home; I feel much less than before So what? (Because it) Now what? (Is an axe) Meddling family stay away Meddling family go, go, go Doctor, your patients are here Hey, across the counter You'll quiet down as I slowly get louder Cancer, coma, panic, pills; it just doesn't matter I swallow blackouts Formula helping us formulate I still picture all of what happened the day I got locked in my head (Soma) (Soma) Just get a script (Someone) Needs medicine (Silenced) Up 'til the end (Soma) Just get a script (Someone) Needs medicine (Silenced) Up 'til the end (So long) And I'm losing my patients I'm losing my patients I'm losing my patients I'm losing my, I'm losing my... Now I've lost all my patience I've lost all my patience I've lost all my patience I'm losing my, I'm losing my...

about

Hail The Sun's sophomore release takes the concept of Elephantitis (a physical overgrowth of a part of the body) and applies it to negative character traits, such as anger or an obsession with death.
