CITIZENS X 04:41
Forget the past, listen up Catch the damage in a paper cup Won’t quit til I get enough Gonna know my name Society is a hole Teenage riot, mind control Pentatonics…fuck that shit About to hit the fan Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away Never listen to a single word I say Up on this ledge looking down You were never there… why start now Bet you thought… won’t go far How’s things look from where you are? Flaming youth, come as you are It’s heating up in here Aneurysm, on a plane Touch the ground, make it rain Out of order, ashes burn Bring it to the ground

DEAD HORSE 03:13
On my own again, where do I begin I fucked up… sleeping in the car again All my shit in a box, call the cops, change the locks Insane… you’re insane Like the time before, always keeping score Most times we don’t know what we’re fighting for You & me just aint right Null & void, disqualified Insane… you’re insane Like two ships passing in the night I’m too tired… don’t wanna fight about it All hands on deck this ship is sinking Man overboard, arms flailing Hear me screaming, hear me yelling Throw in the towel this round is over Now I’m bouncing checks, still with no regrets In my rearview a memory I won’t forget In the past, second chance, should’ve know in wouldn’t last Insane… I’m insane Now we’re moving on, when it’s done it’s done Useless hanging on, life support… let’s pull the plug From the ashes find yourself, find yourself with someone else A change… need a change

Staring at the tv screen, trying not to fall asleep Pot of coffee, no effect, eyes heavy palms wet In the shadows I will wait, til your brain I penetrate Once inside you’re al mine, keep you til the end of time I want you for my own I want your soul Kick and scream, it’s no use.. gonna have my way with you I’ve come to take you home Feel my hands all over you, paralyzed you try to move Try to scream, there’s no sound, My embrace forever bound Hallucinations, what is real? Answers never to reveal Begging, pleading for the end, eternity begin again

ZOMBIE 06:16
Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaking? But, you see it's not me It's not my family In your head, in your head They are fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head in your head they are crying In your head In your head Zombie, zombie, zombie, ei, ei What's in your head? In your head Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do do do do do do do do Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken It's the same old thing since 1916 In your head, in your head They're still fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head, in your head they are dying In your head In your head Zombie, zombie, zombie, ei, ei What's in your head? In your head Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ei ei oh

ALIVE/UNDEAD 05:22
Heart is racing, all alone… about to lose my head Running through a cemetery, away from the undead Gray skin, hiss, and moan, stumble after me farm house off in the distance.. where I need to be Walking corpses closing in on me Living dead relentless entities Help, someone save me from this dream I’m in hell trying to break free At the house, board the windows up… leave the dead outside They push, and push til the walls collapse… they want the flesh inside Kick and scream, but it’s no use… they’re all over me Won’t someone wake me up, save me from this dream. I wake up, body’s cold.. struggle to my feet Not a thought in my head, just an urge to feed
6.
I woke up on a metal slab With some else’s feet, someone else’s hands Pieced together, stitched in place Woke up with someone elses face Thunder crashing, pouring rain Electric shock awaken my brain Pull the trigger, hit the switch Eyes open, and I start to twitch I woke up a monster X8 In my castle hideaway Laboratory, plot and create Cold cadaver on a slab Blank canvas superman They all laughed, shook their heads Said I couldn’t do, but I did Reanimation, let’s play god It’s alive, everyone applaud I woke up a monster, I woke up a monster in my dreams I woke up a monster, I woke up a monster, set me free
7.
Night is falling, I can feel it cover me Hands around me, push, squeeze they smother me Kick, scream in my bed til I’m on the floor Can’t let me fall asleep the sandman’s at my door Hands like razor blades dragging over me Whispers in my ear, thoughts controlling me His voice calls me to the other side If sleep catches me, won’t get out alive Feeling your arms around me Walls closing in surround me Your ropes they tie, they bind me Is this real or just in my head? Up on my feet to face you Won’t hold me back, I’ll break through I’ve had enough of this life Please remove yourself from my head At the end of my rope, never letting go Made it through the rain, the pain… vertigo Rising to the top, standing tall on my feet Never give up, no surrender, no defeat Feeling paranoid, unclear, delusional Standing in my shoes… pain unusual Face forgettable, just a mark on the wall A fading memory ‘til nothing’s left at all

BATES MOTEL 02:02
Through the rain you saw the vacancy sign Tired, lost… thought you’d spend the night Out of gas, directions wrong Come inside, I’ll make you feel at home Here’s the key to your room On the monitor I’m watching every move Ignore the screams in the hall I tend to lose my mind when mother mother calls In the shower all alone Unlock the door, tip toe across the floor Pull the curtain and I cut you up Down the drain… a life, your time is up Mother, mother… what’d you do? Clean this up… we’ll be good as new No suspicions… leave no trace Never here… never saw her face

S.O.S. 05:27
I’m waiting in the wings… waiting for the phone to ring Can’t remember anything, come unglued Hear voices in the hall, the shadows on the wall This isn’t me at all… without you Lost in space, all alone, world in black & white Cut the cord, say a prayer, take me home tonight Mind is racing, think I might be going mad I’m waiting in the wings, the other shoe will fall I can’t believe my eyes, this isn’t me at all Like a broken record my heart skips a beat Just like seasons change, nothing ever stays the same Words they echo through my brain, brain, brain, brain Things will never be the same Slow motion pictures fade, the world goes on without me A castaway… stranded… sending out an s.o.s I’m naked, and alone… a ghost without a home… Wherever I may roam Lost in space, all alone, world in black & white Cut the cord, say a prayer, take me home tonight Mind is racing, think I might be going mad I’m waiting in the wings, the other shoe will fall I can’t believe my eyes, this isn’t me at all Like a broken record my heart skips a beat
11.
Gonna wait til the sun goes down Not another living soul around Got my coveralls, my flashlight Grab a shovel, head into the night I’m a body snatcher, robbing graves it’s your corpse I’m after I’m a body snatcher Get you home… dress you up Paint your face with mom’s makeup Lay you in my bed, we can spoon We can watch t.v. all afternoon When I’m bored, I’ll cut you up You’re not the only girl to get my love I’ve got a basement full of ex-girlfriends Won’t be long, I’m on the hunt again Sweet perfume, formaldehyde You’re preserved, petrified Turn your flesh into a nice lampshade I’ll make a mask with your pretty face
12.
BATTLE CRY 03:58
Cover my ears to stop the screaming Bullets and bloodshed in the streets Why do we teach hate, disrespect, segregate Answer the door, it’s your heart beating I just won’t live this way And I won’t run and hide We’re not mindless sheep try and push us into cages I’d rather stand and fight Kids killing kids, our brothers dying Men on the front lines, bring them home What’s all this fighting for? Can’t they see it’s not our war? They’ll take our guns, and then our homes
13.
BITCH 03:38
Bitch… why you always let me down? Doing better on my own Better with you not around Caught up in lie after lie It’s all the same to you Boyfriends on the internet Chat rooms… IMVU You always say you’re sorry But you do it again, and again You always say you’re sorry But you do it again, and again You don’t do nothing for me I’m just an obstacle Your time has just expired Like a melted popsicle Bitch… why you always let me down? Doing better on my own Better with you not around I tried, and I tried, and I tried I did my best for you Second guessing, second best Could never get the best of you
14.
DOMINO 12:12
I hope you don’t mind, I’ve got my hands tied The waters rising, and I can’t get loose In over my head, monster in my head Open the door because I’m coming through My heart pounding, figures surround me You hear me screaming, but it’s no use I’m just a pawn, I’m just a play thing I’m just a target for your abuse Stand us up like dominos we’ll fall Men like mice in a maze, bang our heads against the wall Acting like we haven’t got a clue Next in line, disposable, time is running out for you Running on empty, you’re going nowhere The sky just opened, and it’s raining truth See through your lies, your deceptions Dead on arrival, pull the plug you’re through Heart is sinking, all alone Lost your friends on the way to the top Just a man with a price on your head You’ll get yours, the pain will stop

about

An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing. Phrases used to describe an earworm include musical imagery repetition, involuntary musical imagery, and stuck song syndrome.

EARWORM is One Adam 12's first full length album of original material. Some of these songs have been in our set since 2012. BITCH, and DEVIL ON MY BACK were originally available on a rough demo called PERSISTENCE PAYS. We decided to re-record them for inclusion on this album. EARWORM is a diverse collection of songs that touches on many topics, and themes... a great listen from beginning to end.
