== Appearances ==Lyrics=== Halos ===* Are you looking for the truth or for another fight? If you want to give me what I want then give it up tonight Freedom. Ain't looking for no, ain't looking for no fight If you want to give me what I want then give it up tonight The world that circles around me can benefit from silence This song is my enemy, watch how I become it Cradled by mystery and make believe I am floating in the other night Children wish upon me This man and his army are praying in their fortresses making guns of steeples Insurgence of people the messiah'Year Zeros an immigrant detained at the border Severed from his trinity, his wife, and his daughter America the beautiful, nappy headed hoedown Lynchburg throwdown It seems our favorite past-time has become our most feared future Technology has failed us. Gunshots by computer Gunshots by Computer Are you looking for the truth or for another fight? If you want to give me what I want then give it up tonight Freedom. Ain't looking for no, ain't looking for no fight If you want to give me what I want then give it up tonight Gunshots by Computer
