01. Diamond Eyes

Music & lyrics by Deftones
To the edge,
Till we all get off,
I will take you away with me
Once and for all...

Time will see us realign,
Diamonds rain across the sky
And shower me into the same realm.

Calculate our embrace,
Hold on,
Come with now,
Run away outer space with me
Once and for all...

Time will see us realign,
Diamonds rain across the sky
And shower me into the same realm.

Get set!

When the coffin shakes
And the needle breaks...
Come, run away with me,
Come on, you'll see,
Once and for all...

Time will see us realign,
Diamonds rain across the sky
And shower me into the same realm.

Time will lead us to the same realm.
I will lead us to the same realm.

02. Royal

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Complex,
Priestess
Come down.
Contact,
Reach us,
Go wild...

I've chased your name,
I've sailed all through space
To watch this.

Come down,
Teach us the ropes...
Your concept
It keeps us
Provoked.

Now remove
Your veil
And let me light you up.
I'm on your team...
Let's go...

Face to face,
Light stare,
My custom made nightmares.
Armed with teeth
In fashion.
Now all we need is action.

Complex,
Priestess,
Come down.
Now contact,
Reach us,
Go wild...

Remove your veil,
Let me light you up.
I'm on your team.

I'm the antidote...
The rocket's taking off...
Tonight,
It's time...

Take me,
I'll light you up.
Take me...
Up.

03. CMND/CTRL

Music & lyrics by Deftones
I can't tell, how's this shit all my fault?
It's a department I feel but they should.
So I send commands just because I can.
Now I can just imagine the difference it has.

Straight out of your mind...
You see I'm well aware,
You're out of your mind.

I said your name.
It slipped off my tongue,
Pointed at the camera laughing at you
Once again.
You see, no one cares,
It's how you wear it, not what it says.

Straight out of your mind...
You see I'm well aware,
You're out of your mind...
Straight out.

I can't tell, but how this shit not your fault?
Bitch you're barbaric, King Kong, get some.
Switching command just because I can.
I like to see you wear it, why can't I stare?

Switching command just because I can
And if I let my guard down who knows what then?

So once again, yeah, just because I can.
Well, just because I can.

04. You've Seen The Butcher

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Don't wanna take it slow
I'm gonna take you home
And watch the world explode
From underneath your glow.

I want to watch the way...
You creep across my skull...

You slowly enter
Because you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb.

I wanna watch you close -
I need to see for sure
After the taping is through
Who do you think we can show?

I want to watch the way...
You creep across my skull...

You slowly enter
Because you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb.

I want to watch the way...
You creep across my skull...

You slowly enter
Because you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb.

You enter slowly,
You know my rule,
You crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb.

05. Beauty School

Music & lyrics by Deftones
I like you when,
When you take off your face,
You put away all your teeth
And take us way underneath.
'Cause you could die if you take it alone...

I watch you taste it...
I see your face,
And I know I'm alive...
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes...
And it drives me crazy,
Just drives me wild.

I kinda like you when,
When you make up the reel,
You take the phone in your room,
Stop the tape or resume...
Well, you could try if you think it will load.

I watch you taste it...
I see your face,
And I know I'm alive...
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes...
And it drives me crazy,
It drives me wild.

Every time...
Every time...
You drive me wild...
It's a beautiful ride...
Wild...
It's a beautiful ride...
Ride...

I watch you taste it...
I see your face,
And I know I'm alive...
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes...
And it drives me crazy,
Just drives me wild.

06. Prince

Music & lyrics by Deftones
I relate to your kind,
Your design,
Your devotion to wave.
Get your brain on the prize
Then dive inside...

The mindset
Of a killer
With your mind out of phase.

It's a game that we like,
We crave
Yet nobody wins.
Any way you decide,
You try but you die...

The mindset
Of a killer...
With your gaze
You paint the room
Blood red
With tears
Pouring from the stage.

And you can't stop now
Rung by rung
Almost out.
Covered in black and gold
No one cares and no one knows
My gift to the world outside.
It's okay, I'm all right.
Now open your empty hands
Cause here comes the fun here comes the end.

Click erase the device,
Give thanks,
Then clear out the room.
Blow kisses, wave them goodbye...
Goodnight.

Mindset
Of a killer...
With your gaze
You paint the room
Blood red
With tears
Pour from the stage.

And you can't stop now
Rung by rung
Almost out.
Covered in black and gold
No one cares and no one knows
My gift to the world outside.
It's okay, I'm all right.
Now open your empty hands
Cause here comes the fun here comes the end.

07. Rocket Skates

Music & lyrics by Deftones
You're red soaking wet...
I'm right next to you...
You're red soaking wet...
Let's writhe,
Let me see you trip.
One move that will keep you wet.
Let's fall in a long sadistic trance...
Put the keys in our hands...

GUNS! RAZORS! KNIVES!
Fuck with me.
GUNS! RAZORS! KNIVES!

You're red soaking wet...
I'm right next to you.
You arrive soaking wet...
Let's sail in this sea of charms.
Let's drown underneath the stars.
Let's drink with our weapons in our hands.
Let's sleep in this trance...

GUNS! RAZORS! KNIVES!
Fuck with me.
GUNS! RAZORS! KNIVES!

You're red soaking wet...
I'm right next to you
And you're red soaking wet...

GUNS! RAZORS! KNIVES!
Fuck with me.
GUNS! RAZORS! KNIVES!

You're red soaking wet...
I'm right next to you...
You're red soaking wet...

08. Sextape

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Floating under water
Ever changing picture,
Hours out from land
In tune with all our dreams...

The ocean takes me in to
Watch you shake it,
Watch you wave your powers,
Tempt with hours of pleasure....

Take me one more time...
Take me one more wave...
Take me for one last ride...
I'm out of my head...

Tonight...tonight...tonight...
Tonight,
The sound of the waves collide.
The sound of the waves collide.
The sound of the waves collide.
Tonight, we ride.

Cruising through the city after hours with me,
Fusing all our powers...
Here's to all our dreams...

Take me one more time...
Take me one more wave...
Take me for one last ride...
I'm out of my head...

Tonight...tonight...tonight...
Tonight,
The sound of the waves collide.
The sound of the waves collide.
The sound of the waves collide.
Tonight, we ride.

09. Risk

Music & lyrics by Deftones
You can't talk,
I'm anxious,
I'm off the walls,
I'm right here just
Come outside
And see in,
But pack your heart
You might need it...

I will find a way...
I'm confused some
But I think I can try...
I will save your life...
I will save your life...
I'll try it for you.

You're locked up,
You exit,
You did it before
Yeah, I've seen it,
Come outside
And breath in,
Relax your arms
And let me in...

I will find a way...
I'm confused some
But I think I can try...
I will save your life...
I will save your life...
I'll try it for you.

I know what to say to take you
Higher, high.
No one else can take you higher
But I will try.

I will find a way...
I'm confused some
But I think I can try...
I will save your life...
I will save your life...
I'll try it for you.

I will find a way...
I'm confused some
But I think I can try...
I will save your life...
I will save your life...
I'll try it for you.

10. 976-EVIL

Music & lyrics by Deftones
For a thousand days,
You've been staring away,
Are you phased
Or are you thinking.
Your crack a smile and wave,
Doesn't scare me away.

Hit the brakes,
I feel like cruising with you...
Too...

So I gaze...
In your eyes
And I wonder...
Can you take me on?
Your haze that I'm under,
Come and wake me up...soon

Take a bow and wave,
As you're carried away,
It was great
But I'm not leaving.
Your crack a smile and wave,
Still doesn't scare me away.

Just hit the brake
'Cause I feel like cruising with you...
Too...

So I gaze...
In your eyes
And I wonder,
Can you take me on?
Your haze that I'm under,
Come to wake me up...

For a thousand days
We could get carried away...
Are you in?...
I'm anxious
And I feel like cruising with you...

So I gaze
In your eyes
And I wonder,
Can you take me on?
Your haze that I'm under,
Come to wake...

So I gaze and want her...
Can you take me on?...

11. This Place Is Death

Music & lyrics by Deftones
You arrive in my dream
Beside me every night...
You and me, we explode through the scene,
We try to drain the night empty.

No one goes off in every way...
Like you do...

We go out together,
We weave our own web.
Tangled in the waves with you
We spray the scene in red.
We both erupt in colors
Then carve out our names.
You keep me aroused
I know you feel the same.

You arrive in my dream
Beside me every night...
Just you and me, we explode through the scene,
We try to drain the night...empty.

No one else has a hold over me...
Like you do...

You open up the covers,
You lure me in,
Tackle me anxious back into bed.
Well I hope to discover all of your waves...
This place is death,
I know you feel the same.

You arrive in my dream
Beside me every night...
Just you and me, we explode through the scene,
We try to drain the night...
