1.
Halloween night at the bottom of the bag A pound of sugar waits there, never to be had But then the moon comes out, and the cellar starts to shake The wicked, ancient curse begins to reawake Dragging feet and humid breath Hungry for some human flesh Bits of sugar repossessed Candy corn zombie horde, yeah The basement door is all that stands between Myself and those evil confectionaries Can't shoot 'em in the head, their brains are way too small I guess that means we're gonna have to eat them all
2.
Living dead ain't easy, no one teaches you these things You look straight-up repulsive, and the sunlight burns and stings Wake up in a coffin and go back to bed the same My parents told me this was nothing more than just a phase Excuse me, pardon me, I need to get on through I promise it won't hurt too much, it's something I must do I'm gonna need some blood from you, I mean, if that's okay I'm getting really hungry, and I haven't fed all day Forgot all about breathing and bathing just as well But when it comes to feeding, well, I'm anxious as all hell I hope nobody notices I'm always out at night Or how I start to sneeze if there's a crucifix nearby
3.
The last time I stayed out late I was met with a terrible fate In a churchyard under the moon I saw my friends' names carved into tombs They're coming back for me, yeah The last time I stated out late I watched my best friend eat somebody's face He turned to me and started to creep Before I knew it, they were all around me All my friends are undead Taken by Death and thrown right back again All my friends are undead And they won't stop until I'm one of them
4.
See the metal gleam and move across its face Pick a starting point, put it into place The incisions will begin, a polished steel blade Cut out the smallest piece and see what I have made My hands are stained with pumpkin guts tonight Blood and gourd are all that are in sight Two eyes, a crooked nose, a maw with jagged teeth Eyebrows are pointed down, the air is getting sweet The final cut is drawn, the candle is in place Cut out the largest piece and see what I have made
5.
I swear this is the last time I invite the Count to anything of mine Left to make him a blood latte swirl When I came back, he was chatting up my girl Baby, don't look in his eyes You'll be mesmerized Dracula stole my girlfriend Don't call it rotten luck His days of evil need to end You could say that this really sucks If I wasn't trying to be a good host I'd stick a Jesus fish in your eye Dracula, you're not so much a creature But you're the asshole of the night
6.
I don't know whether I can weather this again But I guess I really haven't got a choice Run out to the middle of the woods in the moonlight And hope nobody hears all of the noise Yeah, I'm living with lycanthropy Bet you've got a silver bullet for me Sometimes, I wish I'd fall sleep And wake up when the moon goes back down I feel my skin revealing The monster I keep inside is out Where you gonna run to With four feral limbs gunning for you? Where you gonna run to When I pull the spine right out from you?
7.
Met a girl outside the horror show She has long, black hair and a tag on her toe I swear I really didn't know that she's dead Until I caught her staring at the top of my head My zombie girl, she only wants me for my brains And I couldn't see it Yeah, she only wants me for my brains But that's okay Went for a little drive Monday night Ragged, old clothes and a missing eye Moved in to give me a kiss goodbye But it was less of a kiss and more of a bite
8.
Been trying to get them to see Saying there's something going on with me Sure, my head can spin around, can walk the ceiling upside-down But nothing's gonna run me out Leave my demons outta this Let my evil be Leave my demons outta this Don't preach nothing to me Priest don't know how long we've been together I'll be running with this longer than forever Sure, I speak in different tongues and place a curse on everyone But you'll never see me out on the run
9.
Welcome, I've been expecting you In the dark streetlights, come into view If you see me, when you do, turn and scream I can find you where you are, hear you breathe Trip and fall on your knees, that's your fatal flaw Claws, they sheen in the night, watch you crawl Flesh opens up, feel the blood, my surprise You're holding on where the rest all have died Let this all begin again The sooner it all ends Honestly, what made you feel you were the one To flee the icy, cold grips of Death?
10.
The world has met its end, humanity's last stand And things aren't looking up for us at all The sky is raining death, I guess I got my wish When I said I was tired of living here Beam me up into the mothership So I can watch the apocalypse And take me to your leader Lights and death-rays from up in outer space And no, there's nothing we can do at all Burning cities down and abducting cows I gotta admit, this is pretty cool

about

I wrote and recorded this album in about a week. I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to write an album in such a short span of time, and honestly, I think every song on here has a hella catchy chorus. I actually didn't like this album at all directly after releasing it, but over time, it's grown on me a lot.
