01. Prayers/Triangles

Music & lyrics by Deftones
There's a new strange, godless demon awake inside me
There's a forced divine, terrorizing the angels I keep
While we dream

Prayers laid on the line
You will never be free
You will never be free

I'm a true slave to the fire and the air around you
While this cursed divine is slowly rotting away inside me
While we dream

Prayers laid on the line
You will never be free
You will never be free
Triangles placed in your mind
You will never be free
You will never be free

I'd be aware, I'd be aware
Be aware, be aware
I will never walk this street again
The only time I feel I'm not alone
I pull my heart out, wave it in the air

Prayers laid on the line
You will never be free
You will never be free
Triangles placed in your mind
You will never be free
You will never be free
Prayers
Triangles
Prayers
You will never be free
You will never be free

I will never walk this street again
The only time I feel I'm not alone
I pull my heart out, wave it in the air
I pull my heart out, beware

02. Acid Hologram

Music & lyrics by Deftones
In the haze of your light, we bathe and wane
You've surrounded our hearts again
You smother me in shapes, in a secret praxis
You've shown me your charms, revealed your name
Blow the clouds from your mouth again
And smother me in shapes, you'll reveal your secret side

Your light will fade and our hearts will sync in time
Your disguise will shift and reverse

In the wake of your plume, we bathe and drink
You remind me of her again
Smother me in shapes and reveal your secret side

Your light will fade and our hearts will sync in time
Your disguise will shift and reverse

In time your light will fade and our hearts will sync in time
Your disguise will shift and reverse
In time your light will fade and our hearts will sync in time
Your disguise will shift and reverse

03. Doomed User

Music & lyrics by Deftones
There went your time, say goodbye, now leave here
My fuse has expired, fucking die, just leave here
Powerless, stuck in your web of shit
Open your eyes, you only play yourself
Whoever's watching, I hope they catch the drift
Collect your crown, you're now the queen of filth
There, that's your life, go and die more, I mean it
Loose and defiled, you define the meaning

They're delusions, don't deny it
Don't make this out to be something about you

I've been scarred, fucking repulsed by this
My only tale is one that I can't stand
Now I've become this core of rotted will
My heart is black, and I will now bounce back
There, say goodbye, just retire from the earth
You've been exiled, take your body elsewhere

They're delusions, don't deny it
Don't make this out to be something about you
Go waste your breath somewhere to someone new

Your castles burning down on you
Your kingdom is burning down

They're delusions, don't deny it
Don't make this out to be a thing about you
They're delusions, don't deny it
Don't make this out to be a thing about you
Go waste your breath somewhere to someone new

04. Geometric Headdress

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Hey, princess, lay back in your chair
Show us your geometry, see if I stare
Pink cigarette, white see-through dress
And a black and gold veil
Ornate headdress, my temptress
Wield your staff and your veil
Vows, secrets, wake me when
It's my turn to walk through

Caught deep in your every curve
Primed and ready for battle
Lift your veil now, formulate
With the sound by yourself

As her words draw you in
Our faith reconnects
And our hearts, they collapse
At the words

Now come to me in your glitz and your glam
Place your heart down, step back and watch this
Blank featured, vile creatures
Collapse at your ankles
Firebreather, snake eater
Relax as we hail her
Vows, secrets, wake me when
It's my turn to walk through

Don't turn around
Look back to see it
Just hang on, formulate
And believe it by yourself

As her words draw you in
Our faith reconnects
And our hearts, they collapse
From the words we intake

Now relate like I relate
'Til your faith reconnects
And now relate like I relate
To the words

We are enlightened, we stare and behold
We commit to your being, we belong, we belong
Deep in your circle, trapped in your grace
Wrapped here in your prism walls, we will stay

05. Hearts/Wires

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Nothing can save me now, it's what I believe
The slit in the sky when you left is all I see
Nothing to sing about, I've bared all my leaves
No vision or dreams about you came true for me

Cut through this razor wire
And dine on your heart, mine 'til the end

Stuck with illusion now, I drown in your sea
I hope that you'll first save yourself and then come for me

Cut through this razor wire
And dine on your heart, mine 'til the end
Break through, clip the wires
And writhe in your heart, mine 'til the end

A way, a way out, a way
Down deep into your veins
All the way, all the way
Down deep in your heart
All the way, all the way

Cut through this razor wire
Mine 'til the end
Break through, clip the wire
Dine on your heart, mine 'til the end

06. Pittura Infamante

Music & lyrics by Deftones
I kneel at the altar
Carve your name and hail to the gods
I've climbed your tree, I peeled your fruit
When I tasted your kiss
How amazing that you were sent
Like you were molded out of thin air
Now I don't want you to disappear
But I want you to carry us out of here
We sail through the arc light
Attach the wings and wait for the gods
We've found your grail, we drank your juice
And we tasted your gift
I will wait here one-thousand years
I will choose to immerse in your eyes
I've seen the truth, and I know your strength
I have watched your great ascent

Now we sing
Now we sing your praises
And now we face the sky
The sky, sky, the sky

On top of the crux, I've climbed every rung
To bathe in your sunlight

I kneel at the altar
I promised you, I would stay to the end
I will hold and praise and feel your truth
Let us drink to the gods

I will sing, I will sing your praises
I will scream, I will scream your praises

07. Xenon

Music & lyrics by Deftones
You're floating out astray
This cold and lifeless body
At this moment what you taste
Is the key to your evolving

We're the lions at the gates
We're the diamonds in your brain
The desire in your veins for the violence
And the writers of your fate

Keep riding on this wave
The desire sweeps your body
Oh, we're watching, now we wait
For another sweet departing

We're the lions at the gates
We're the diamond in your brain
The desire in your veins for the violence
We're the sirens to your raid
The desire to remain in the violence
The deciders of your fate

The desire in your veins for the violence
The diamond in your brain
The desire to partake in the violence
We're the sirens to your raid

The desire to remain, remain, remain
The writer of your fate

08. (L)MIRL

Music & lyrics by Deftones
I don't miss you
I don't care where you are now
You're a ghost to me
Left with my taste in your mouth
Taken away somewhere new
I'm used to it
This body is here, but I'm gone
When I reawake
I'll reawake in the waves

In a new realm
Catch this dream on film
You might just get used to it
And you'll smile, smile, and dive deep

I sail on these waves, hey
Slip into the calming waves, hey

You're an old hex
That just drained my will
So I put this gun to my head
And I smile, smile, and dive deep

I sail on these waves, hey
Slip into the calming waves, hey
Deep into the calming waves, hey

We have created
Now we're gone
And now a reawakening
Another form of myself
I come right out of my skin

Slip into the calming waves
Deep into the calming waves
Slip into the calming waves
Deep into, hey

Right now
Bear witness
This rebirth
Right now

09. Gore

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Deep in this dream, we are locked in
I've pulled you in
Now our bodies are wet
There is blood on the beaches
I brought you into this, don't deny yourself

Smile, you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the game

We lay in the gore of our vices
Oh, we writhe in them
At night we assemble the hunt for our prizes
I hooked you in this way, you should try yourself

Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the world

We'll slip right through these gates together someday

Lost in these dreams, we arrive in
I know you will
Develop the taste that will tie us together
I put you in this game, just remind yourself

Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the game
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running wild

We'll slip right through these gates together someday
We'll trip right through you slave forever someday

Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the game
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Just take what you want to take
Surprise, you're home

10. Phantom Bride

Music & lyrics by Deftones
Inside of this hole you create
You hide from yourself
You separate every belief that is true that...
You spent your life
Attached to this poison
You don't feel anything out of the rain,
And it's true that...

You spend your life
Trapped in this void
Where you will stay always

Can't rid of this thought of you rotting in
This same cold space
You don't want to feel anything new
You've decided to spend your life safe from emotion
This way you'll never be harmed again or confused now

You spend your life
Trapped in this void
Where you will stay always
You waste your life
Relaxed in your void
Where you will drain all of you

You spend your life
Trapped in your void
Where you will stay always
You waste your life
Relaxed in your void
Where you will stay always
You spend your life
Trapped in your void
Where you will stay always

Waste your life
Attached to this poison
You will drain all of you

11. Rubicon

Music & lyrics by Deftones
You cannot face the crowd all by yourself
Embrace the power we have
Raise your eyes slowly
Place your faith into me
Your body aches to be
Draped in our delight slowly

Take me in
Face the lights
Free yourself and writhe in them

Sound asleep hunting
Wide awake moaning
This body aches to be
Draped in you tonight slowly

Take me in
Face the lights
Free yourself and writhe in them
Take me in
Face the crowd
Let yourself just writhe in them

You cannot face the crowd all by yourself
Embrace the power we have
The record's ours to break
The more we build, and the crowd goes wild
Goes wild

Take me in
Face the lights
Free yourself and writhe in them
Take me in
Face the crowd
Let yourself just writhe in them
Writhe in them

You cannot face the crowd all by yourself
Embrace the power we have
The record's ours to break
And the more we build, the crowd goes wild

Goes wild
Goes wild
Goes wild
