the wretched

just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm through
just to push you down
just to hold you down
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to thisback at the beginning
sinking
spinning

and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be

but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
you can try to stop it but

trouble

Trouble...
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry...
Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
We'll I've been...
saved by a woman
I've been...
saved by a woman
I've been...
saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

Trouble...
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
she come around and knock me down again
Worry...
Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend
We'll I've been saved...
by a woman
I've been saved...
by a woman
I've been saved...
by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now

Oh..., Ahhhh....
Ohhhh
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
She good tell me now
She gave me love and affection
I Said I love her
Yes I love her
I said I love her
I said I love...
She good to me now
She's good to me
She's good to me

none shall pass

[Verse 1:]
Flash that buttery, gold
Jittery, zeitgeist, wither by the watering hole
What a patrol...
What are we to Heart Huckabee?
Art fuckery, suddenly?
Not enough young in his lung for the waterwings?
Colorfully vulgar poacher, out of mulch
Like, "I'm a pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt."

(Fine...)
Sign of the time we elapse
When a primate climb up a spine and attach
Eye for an eye by the bog life swamps and vines
They get a rise out of frogs and flies
So when a dogfight's hog-tied prize sort of costs a life
The mouths water on a fork and knife
And the allure isn't right
No score on a war-torn beach
Where the cash cow's actually beef
Blood turns wine when it leak for police
Like, "That's not a riot it's a feast. Let's eat! "

[Chorus:]
And I will remember your name and face
On the day you are judged by "The Funhouse" cast
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace
With a cane to the sky like, "None shall pass."

[Verse 2:]
Now if you never had a day a snow cone couldn't fix
You wouldn't relate to the rogue vocoder blitz
How he spoke through a NoDoz motor on the fritz
'Cause he wouldn't play rollover fetch like a bitch
And express no regrets, though he isn't worth a homeowner's piss
To the jokers who pose by the glitz

(Fine...)
Sign of the swine in the swarm
When a king is a whore who comply and conform
Miles outside of the eye of the storm
With a siphon to lure out a prize and award
While avoiding the vile and bizarre that is violence and war
True blue triumph is more!
Like, "Wait, let him snake up out of the centerfold."
"Let it break the walls of Jericho."
"Ready? Go! "
Sat where the old, cardboard city folk
Swap tales with heads like every other penny throw

[Chorus:]
And I will remember your name and face
On the day you are judged by "The Funhouse" cast
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace
With a cane to the sky like, "None shall pass."

[Verse 3:]
Okay, woke to a grocery list
Goes like this:
Duty and death
Anyone object, come stand in the way
You could be my little Snake River Canyon today
And I ran with a chain of commands
And a jet pack strapped where the backstab lands if it can

(Fine...)
Sign of the vibe in the crowd
When I cut a belly open to find what climb out
That's quite a bit of gusto he muster up
To make a dark horse rush like, "Enough's enough! "
It must've... struck a nerve so they huff and puff
Till all the king's men fluster and clusterfuck
And it's a beautiful thing
To my people who keep an impressive wingspan even when the cubicle shrink
You got to pull up the intruder by the root of the weed
NY chew through the machine...

[Chorus:]
And I will remember your name and face
On the day you are judged by "The Funhouse" cast
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace
With a cane to the sky like, "None shall pass."

coming undone

Keep holdin' on when
My brain's tickin' like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have
Come again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird
You don't affect me

That's right
Deliver it to my heart
Please strike
Be deliberate

Wait
I'm coming undone
Irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong so delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong so delicate

Choke, choke again
I thought, my demons were my friends
Getting me in the end
They're out to get me
Since I was young
I tasted sorrow on my tongue
And the sweet sugar gun
Does not protect me

That's right
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike
Make it quick now

Wait
I'm coming undone
Irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong so delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong so delicate

I'm
Trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like I'm not getting better
Not getting better

Wait
I'm coming undone
Irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong so delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong so delicate

sober

Every shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step I make,
Breaking every promise empty,
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path has lost me
Just because the sun has set
Judas was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done
Judas mother fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find the center in you
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary was a whisper
Nothing but the past is done
Mother was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find the center in you
I will chew it up and leave,

Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over, and
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want

how can i live

I am so alike you in so many ways
I know I'm just a copy that carries on the stain

But we make the same mistake
Cuz we are one and the same
But we leave behind the stain
That cannot seperate

All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

I am your mirror image of all you left behind
You made me what I am and who the hell am I?

But we make the same mistake
Cuz we are one and the same
But we leave behind the stain
That cannot seperate

All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

Why, yo no entiendo porque
I know that our lives are the same
Y mi vida is just a guessing game
A dirty stain that I cannot play
But I follow your steps
In the same way that you just
Walked away and pushed away
The fact that I will not live

Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you
Do you think of me?
Do you dream of me?
I always dream about you

All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me
All that dies in me
How can I live without you?

judith

You're such an inspiration
For the ways that I will
Never, ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your savior has abandoned you

Fuck your god, your Lord, your christ
He did this, took all you had and
Left you this way, still you pray, never stray, never
Taste of the fruit, never thought to question "Why?"

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed

He did it all for you...
He did it all for you...

Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you

Pray to your christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit, never stray, never break, never
Choke on a lie even though he's the one who
Did this to you, you never thought to question "Why?"

It's not like you killed som
eone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why

He did it all for you...
He did it all for you...
He did it all for you

when it cuts

I cannot justify your envy
But I will be understanding when you stay
Then I will satisfy you in every (way)
But I'm not feeling coherent when you say

When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again

Again

Though I'm right, I don't think I'll win this fight
But I'm trying though it's ripping me inside
Just in case that I'm taking up your space
I'll be feeling too, whatever's left inside

When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again

I can't go on
I'm not that strong
I'm so alone
You just gotta set me free

I'm still living day, no way
I don't care what you say
Your eyes dispise my lies
Just say goodbye

When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I
When it cuts, it cuts, it cuts hard
And I die again

Again, again

Waste your breath

headstrong earshot

Strapped down and heavy
Tied up and bound
This weight I carry
This weight I've found
So let...me be the one to say
I've really had enough

Downfallen on
(Yes, you mean the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you)
Strong?

Watch me
Fall

One time to many
You've let me down
Won't think what could be
Can't feel much now

Downfallen on
(Yes, you mean the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong

Watch me
Change this world inside of you
Change this world inside of you

Does it really mean that much to you
To hide your fear, to test the way I feel
To test the way I feel
To test the way I feel
To test the way I...feel

Watch me crawl
Watch me break
Watch me crawl
Watch me throw it all away

Downfallen on
(Yes, you mean the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong

I can't believe the things you say, so
Wrong for how I feel this way
I'm sleeping to relieve this strain so...
Calmly, slowly, softly, just let it all
Just drift away

i did my time

Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me

Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I've got something left to be
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me

Tell me why am I to blame?
Aren't we suppose to be the same?
That's why I will never change
This thing that's burning in me!

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel alive full of pain (pain!)
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so
Enslaved
I really
Tried
(5x)I did my time

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me

(2x)Oh God the anger's changing me

so cold

Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die

Show me how we'll end this, It's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied an empty inside
Well that's alright
Let's give this another try

If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me
One last time

Show me how it ends, It's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright
Let's give this another try

Show me how it ends, It's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright
Let's give this another try

Its alright

take it all away

I've never seen
Such an opening
I've never had
Such a plan that turned out right
It's not right
I'm losing pride
You steal what is real from me
You try to make me break
I'll take your pride
Take it all away, take it all away
Take it out of sight
You wonder why I'm broken
Take it all away, take it all away
Take it out of sight
You wonder why I have to lie
You never cared about anything
I even wondered
If you knew that I was alive
That's not right
I'm losing Pride
You steal what is real from me
You try to make me break
I'll take your pride
Don't push me
You're pushing me
Don't push me
You're pushing me
Take it all away from me
Take it al away
I'll take your pride

show me how to live

and with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn’t buy an eye full of sleep
And in the aching night
Under sattelittes
I was not recieved
built with the stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

In the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
Let this things remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me a life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live

remember

Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember
Tear a hole so I can see
My devastation
Feelings from so long ago
I don't remember

Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me, given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe

Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignore
I don't remember

Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me, given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe

If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me

[whispering:]
Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember

I'm just holding on, to let them know
What's given to me, given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe

If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me
into me
into me

Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh mother

Gonna show her my world

Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh mother

Do you wanna fear everything

Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's
Damn

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like

straight out of line

There's no reason, there's no compromise
Change in seasons, living the high life
I don't know you so don't freak on me
I can't control you, you're not my destiny


Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to lie to me

(verse 2)

I'll confess this: you're my tragedy
I laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me
Gone forever, banished the memories
Displays of pleasure are masked by your misery


Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to lie to me
Lie to me

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to
Don't need to lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

stupified

I've been waiting my whole life for just one FUCK
And all I needed was just one FUCK
How can you say that you don't give a FUCK
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All I wanted was just one FUCK
One tiny little innocent FUCK
And when I feel like I'm shit out of LUCK
I find my stupified, coming back again

Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping
I think I'm breaking down

And why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping away

See but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified
It's all the same you say
Livin with it, but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified(x2)

and don't deny me
No baby no, don't deny me
And darling don't be afraid

Look in my face, step in my soul,
I begin to stupify! Ah!(x4)

body crumbles

Finally recover and the mood is right
looking up into a neon sky
child in me takes over, guess it's been too long
since the last time that I tried to fly

Finally I find when I lose control
inside my body crumbles
it's like therapy for my broken soul
inside my body crumbles

All I need's a moment, just to get away
from the stressfulness of every day
Know if I don't question and I never doubt
everything is gonna be okay

finally I find when I lose control
inside my body crumbles
it's like therapy for my broken soul
inside my body crumbles

I don't know if I'll be alright
I don't know if I'll be alright
(Is it okay to be myself)
I don't know if I'll be alright
I don't know if I'll be alright
(why do we always have to fight)
I don't know if I'll be alright
now i know it's alright

finally I find when I lose control
inside my body crumbles
it's like therapy for my broken soul
inside my body

finally I find when I lose control
inside my body crumbles
it's like therapy for my broken soul
inside my body crumbles

all alone

Snatch a piece of my wonderin'
Distant-far like yonderin'
Skin of my tooth like
seat of my boot like
Fly in my soup like
Where's the waitress?
Can't take this, ready can't face this
These airs and all these graces
It's my mistake, i make it
J-dub to the boom now make it
Bounce-wiggle bounce-wiggle
Shakin' all them pains out
Chemical cutthroats
Bound to blow the brain out
Cut to the brain
This ain't no game
I'll show no shame
I'll birth this blame
I'm twisted cain
I'll twist again
I'll push the blame
As plain as day
Known to what these sayers say
Known to what these do-ers doing
You know who and you know where
We's about to take it there
We's about to make it clear
We happy or we lonesome
The long jump, the beat heart, from start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth ovah
Return of the OGAH!

~=Chorus=~ (x12)

Close your eyes and see
When there ain't no light
All you'll ever be
Come on save the night
'Cause i don't believe
When the morning comes, it doesn't
Seem to say an awful lot to me

freak on a leasg

Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Everytime I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me...from me
Life's gotta always be messing with me (You wanna see the light)
Can't they chill and let me be free (So do I)
Can't I take away all this pain (You wanna see the light)
I try to every night, all in vain...in vain

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Feeling like a freak on a leash (You wanna see the light)
Feeling like I have no release (So do I)
How many times have I felt diseased (You wanna see the light)
Nothing in my life is free...is free

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

poem: some to misery are born

Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.

poem: cruelty has a human heart

Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And Secrecy the human dress.

The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace sealed,
The human heart its hungry gorge.

peom: cradle song

A CRADLE SONG Sleep, sleep, beauty bright, Dreaming in the joys of night; Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep Little sorrows sit and weep. Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles. As thy softest limbs I feel, Smiles as of the morning steal O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast Where thy little heart doth rest. O the cunning wiles that creep In thy little heart asleep! When thy little heart doth wake, Then the dreadful light shall break.

poem: the tiger

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

poem: mercy pity peace contradiction

I heard an Angel singing
When the day was springing,
"Mercy, Pity, Peace
Is the world's release."

Thus he sung all day
Over the new mown hay,
Till the sun went down
And haycocks looked brown.

I heard a Devil curse
Over the heath and the furze,
"Mercy could be no more,
If there was nobody poor,

And pity no more could be,
If all were as happy as we."
At his curse the sun went down,
And the heavens gave a frown.

Down pour'd the heavy rain
Over the new reap'd grain ...
And Miseries' increase
Is Mercy, Pity, Peace.

poem: 2 c the world in a grain of sand

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

we come 1

All the subtle flavours of my life
have become bitter seeds
and poisoned leaves
without you

You represent what's true
I drain the colour from the sky
And turn blue
without you

These arms lack a purpose
Flapping like a humming-bird
I'm nervous 'cause
I'm the left eye
you're the right

Would it not be madness to fight
We come 1

In you the song which rights my wrongs
In you the fullness of living
The power to begin again
From right now,In you

We come 1

I'm unafraid
never never scared
Worries washed
pressed and aired
I am the left eye
you're the right
Would it not be madness to fight

We come 1

insomnia

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

ave adore

It’s you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You’ll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

Lovely girl
You’re the beauty in my world
Without you there aren’t reasons left to find

And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
You’ll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

Lovely girl
You’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind
In time

In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart

Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl
You’re the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
In time
We must never be apart

And you’ll always be my whore
Cause you’re the one that I adore
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty in you I taste god
We must never be apart

bullet with butterfly wings

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do I get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though I know-I suppose I'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, I want change
and what have you got
when you feel the same
even though I know-I suppose I'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

tell me I'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son yeah
tell me I'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you

despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

tell me I'm the only one
tell me there's no other one
jesus was an only son for you

and I still believe that I cannot be saved
and I still believe that I cannot be saved
and I still believe that I cannot be saved
and I still believe that I cannot be saved

zero

my reflection, dirty mirror
there's no connection to myself
i'm your lover, i'm your zero
i'm the face in your dreams of glass
so save your prayers
for when you're really gonna need 'em
throw out your cares and fly
wanna go for a ride?

she's the one for me
she's all i really need
oh yes she's the one for me
emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness
bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship
i never let on that i was down
you blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
you blame yourself for wanting more
she's the one for me
she's all i really need
oh yes she's the one for me
she's my one and only
don't leave

sound of silence

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence."

angie

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke

Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

seven nation army

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
tell me "go back home"

little miss strange

No one knows where she comes from
Maybe she`s a devil in disguise
I can tell by looking in her eyes.

Little miss strange
Little miss strange.

Little miss strange came into my parlor
I don`t know just what to ask her
I don`t remember what we did after.

Little miss strange
Little miss strange.

Little miss strange came out of the darkness
Walked across my head, I stood beneath the light
I`m talkin` `bout the dream I had the other night.

Little miss strange
Little miss strange

Born Under A Bad Sign

Born Under A Bad Sign,
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Wouldn't have no luck at all

Bad luck and trouble
Been my only friend
Ive been down ever since I was ten

Born Under a Bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for real bad luck
If it wasn't for real Bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

red house

Ah, yeh
There's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
Lord there's a red house over yonder
Lord that's where my baby stays

I ain't been home to see my baby
In ninety-nine and one half days

Wait a minute, something's wrong here
The key won't unlock this door
Wait a minute, something's wrong
Lord have mercy this key won't unlock the door
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more
That's alright! I still got my guitar! Look out now!
Yeah!

Well, I might as well a go on back down
Way back up on the hill
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder across the hill
Cause if my baby don't love me no more

manic depression

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just dont know
How to, go about gettin it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin my soul

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
Its all the same
When its, when its over, mama
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think Ill go turn myself off,
And go on down
All the way down
Really aint no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene

Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, in a kiss, kiss
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

the eind cries mary

AFTER ALL JACKS ARE IN THEIR BOXES
AND THE CLOWNS HAVE ALL GONE TO BED
YOU CAN HEAR HAPPINESS STAGGERING ON DOWN THE STREET
FOOTPRINTS DRESSED IN RED

AND THE WIND WHISPERS MARY

A BROOM IS DREARILY SWEEPING
UP THE BROKEN PIECES OF YESTERDAY'S LIFE
SOMEWHERE A QUEEN IS WEEPING
SOMEWHERE A KING HAS NO WIFE

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEY TURN A BLUE TOMORROW
AND SHINE THERE EMPTINESS DOWN ON MY BED
THE TINY ISLAND SAGS DOWNSTREAM
CAUSE THE LIFE THAT LIVED IS DEAD

AND THE WIND SCREAMS MARY

WILL THE WIND EVER REMEMBER
THE NAMES IT HAS BLOWN IN THE PAST
AND WITH ITS CRUTCH ITS OLD AGE AND ITS WISDOM
IT WHISPERS "NO, THIS WILL BE THE LAST"

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

A LITTLE INDIAN BRAVE WHO BEFORE HE WAS TEN
PLAYED WAR GAMES IN THE WOODS WITH HIS INDIAN FRIENDS
AND HE BUILT A DREAM THAT WHEN HE GREW UP

HE WOULD SING HIS FIRST WAR SONG
AND FIGHT HIS FIRST BATTLE BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG
SURPRISE ATTACK KILLED HIM IN HIS SLEEP THAT NIGHT

SO SHE DECIDED TO DIE
SHE DREW HER WHEEL CHAIR TO THE EDGE OF THE SHORE
AND TO HER LEGS SHE SMILED
"YOU WON'T HURT ME NO MORE"
BUT THEN A SIGHT SHE'D NEVER SEEN MADE HER JUMP AND SAY
"LOOK A GOLDEN WINGED SHIP IS PASSING MY WAY"
AND IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP

all along the watchtower

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

when angels fly away

I'll make a soldiers decision to fly away
Load my gun, paint my face, call me misery
I can see the sky light up and the ground explode
Got my sights locked in I can see you breathe
Then I watched you fall and somebody scream
Its the saddest thing when angels fly away

I cant be home tonight, I'll make it back its alright
No one could ever love me half as good as you

Got a badge for my scars just the other day
Wore it proud for the sake of my sanity
I could see the flames burn bright from the winding road
Like a haunting page from our history
Watched a young girl cry and her mother scream
Its the saddest thing when angels fly away

I cant be home tonight, I'll make it back its alright
No one could ever love me half as good as you

You cant be strong tonight, love makes you sad its alright
No one could ever worry half as good as you

Half as good as you

I cant be home tonight, I'll make it back its alright
No one could ever love me half as good as you

You cant be strong tonight, love makes you sad its alright
No one could ever worry half as good as you

go away

All the sounds around you used to play along with your torn up head
As the music seeps into you everyone was trampled dead
Everyone could see your madness slip in till it takes control
Everyone could see right through you I wish you would just go away
Go away from all the pain that made you, half as good as God taken all over in my Brain.
I recall the future, take another star, make him feel the pain
For every song you ever wrote take another fucking drink
For every melody that haunts take a pill that makes you faint
For every part of you that hurts take a needle make it sting
The irony is I'm just like you a pseudo-fucking freak

suffocate

I could take every fuckin word she said
Throw it in her face
Would she even care
I still remember when she looked at me
A frown upon her face
Trying to be sincere
I gathered all those little things she said
Kept them close to me
Trying to make this real
This cloud will always hover over me
I'm leaving you today, cuz now I see

Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That you're fake (I'm not a fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)

I could take every fuckin game you play
Blow it all away
Would you even care
I could take all those lies you said to me
Never go away, never disappear
This cloud will always hover over me
I'm leavin you today cuz now I see

Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That you're fake (I'm not a fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)
(x2)

Now I'm far away from you
I'll never bring back yesterday
You're such a fake, it's true
I can't believe the words you say
I'm far away from you
I'll never bring back yesterday

Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
You're fake (I'm not a fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (What I can)

I always take
What I can

a different kind of pain

Before I let you go, give me just one more night to show you just how I feel.
I lost all my control, if it takes my whole damn life I'll make this up to you.
Kind of like the waves, that roll their whole life towards somewhere crashing on the shore
That's blown in by the wind that carries the clouds to hide my wish on a fallen star

A different kind of pain, is someone there to hold you
is someone there to take you away from me.(x2)

I tried to let you go I wish I could turn back time and show you just how i feel
i needed you to know, if it takes my whole damn life i'll make this up to you

Kind of like the waves, that roll their whole life towards somewhere crashing on the shore
That's blown in by the wind, that carries the clouds to hide my wish on a fallen star

A different kind of pain, is someone there to hold you
is someone there to take you away from me. (x2)

Before you let me go away
Before you let me go away
Before you let me go away
Before you let me go

I needed you to know

A different kind of pain, is someone there to hold you
is someone there to take you away from me

A different kind of pain, is someone there to hold you
is someone there to take you away from me

A different kind of pain
A different kind of pain
It's a different kind of pain
It's a different kind of pain
Before you let me go
It's a different kind of pain
I need you to know
It's a different kind of pain
It's a different kind of.

remedy

I don't love how you love
But please don't leave me here alone
I don't feel how you feel
Well it's my fault I'm bones
I don't die how you die
I can't just waste away
You keep changing your life, everyday

(Chorus)
If it burns
Ill keep fueling the same dream
If you fall Ill remember the same thing
I don't want your remedy

I don't fall how you fall
I won't hold on
You can't let go
When it's pain that I feared
I made you take it slow
I don't cry how you cry
There's nothing left in me
You keep changing my life, everyday

Chorus
(X2)

I don’t want!
I don’t need!
I don’t want!
Remedy!

(Guitar Solo)

I don’t want!
Remedy!

Chorus
(X2) (I don’t want I don’t need…..)

don't belong

My mind takes you to where you need to be
Cure for your heartbreak to take away the pain
I could describe each mistake for you
Tattoo it on my tainted heart

[Chorus]
well I won't ever tell the world
that I don't belong
Please don't ever tell the world
That I don't belong
That I don't belong

Can you still feel me or did I slip away
A sick man, a monster, broken still today
I can't explain what happens to me
Caught in the game I've always starred
I could describe each mistake for you
Tattoo it on my tainted heart

[Chorus]

Well I won't ever change my ways
and I can't be strong
That I don't belong

and it's my own shame
I can't break your ways

[Chorus]

Well I won't ever change my ways
and I can't be strong
please don't ever tell the world
that I don't belong
that I don't belong
that I don't belong

change the world

thinking of the mess we made
you became a part of me
Thinking of the wish you made
to break free
Playing you like I can
shoving it in your face
if this doesn't break your heart
I'm the one to blame

[Chorus]
I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things
and whatever happens now
it can't be real

Thinking that you might betray
My own private fantasy
I'm the one that gives
what you need
playing you like I can
Shoving it in your face
if this doesn't tear you apart
I'm the one to blame

[Chorus x2]

Now you're gone
I feel betrayed
You can't blame me
you walked away
Now you're gone
I feel betrayed
You can't blame me
You walked away

[Chorus x3]

I never wanted to change your world
I always wanted the simple things

the day seattle died

Turn all the lights down low
Tryin' to fade your apathy
Made up a world where you cant even be you
Star in a tragedy
Shattered voice on an open chord
They line up around the world just to hear you scream
Blown away by fame
we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
nevermind in faith if you cant beleive
Drowning in misery
The nightmare began when you closed the door
Sat in your angry chair and just tried to be you
The needle became your queen
The drug had become your enemy
And music was just a way for you to bleed
Blown away by fame
we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
nevermind in faith if you cant believe
blown away by fame
we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
and nevermind in faith if you cant believe
and he wont beleive
and he cant believe
blown away by fame
we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
nevermind in faith if you cant believe
blown away by fame
we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
nevermind in faith if you cant believe
and he wont believe
and he cant believe
and they wont believe
and they cant believe

whatever you became

Whatever you became
Blame it on my fame
Always away from you
Sold my life for a song
Whatever you killed
The blood got on my face
See it took over you
and your minds nearly gone

[Chorus]
and I can't change my ways
Sorry it's my fault
I wasn't there to see
Whatever you became
Whatever you became

Whatever you became
you blame it on blind faith
can't turn away from you
what's my life if your gone
Whatever you feel
I take it on my stage
I sing to the world for you
and I'm always alone

[Chorus]

I can see it all
You're so far away
I can't take this anymore
I can't live until I see your face
I can see it all
You're so far away
I can't take this anymore
I can't live until I see your face

[Chorus]

Somethings gone away
You've taken this from me
Until I see your face
I'm slipping away

no one

Well I can't ever really believe
No one was sent to get me
And I feel like I'm being erased
No one got left here
I'm all alone
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left here

I can't even breathe when I see
The pictures sent without you
I feel like I'm being erased
No one got left here
I'm all alone
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left here
But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left

I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you
I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you

So sick of the terrible instinct
I can only find you
So sick of the terrible instinct
I can only find you

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left here
But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine
No one got left

gone away

Do you pray
In the night
Can you appreciate the wind
And I won't care
I won't fight
I need you close to sing
It's the same beginning
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
And I can't breathe
When you cry
But I'll be there to hold you tight
And I would kill
I would fight
To keep you close
I keep singing the same way
I won't live
If you died
If I can feel you in the wind
And this is me
It's my life
I'll need you close to sing
It's the same beginning
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
And I can't say
And I don't know
How far
I'll go
And I can't say
And I don't know
How far
I'll go
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life

rain song

When it rains I dont mind
Let me stand here all night
Did she take her own life
Let me know she's alright

[Chorus]
And every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it rains
Are the angels crying

I'll stay strong, I'll be fine
Carry on with my life
I still stare at the sky
Pray for rain, all the time
Why'd you run? Did you hide
Why'd you leave, no good bye
When the clouds, take the sky
Does a soul, give you life?

And every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it rains
Are the angels crying
And every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it rains
All the angels cry for you

I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
be the same
be the same
be the same

And every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it rains
Are the angels crying
And every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it rains
Are the angels cryin

i'll take everything

Oh these feet carry me far. Oh my body. Oh so tired.
Mouth is dry. Hardly speak. Holy Spirit rise in me.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone when I die.
Have my body. Have my mind. Have my coat. Take my time.
These I borrow. Borrow so far. Turn to dust. Fall apart.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone and understand.
'Cause all men die. 'Cause all men die.
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone since I'm gonna die
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone 'cause all men die

one of the brightest stars

One day your story will be told
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
One day they'll make you glorious, beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round, once in a lifetime like it always does
Everybody loves you cause you've taken a chance out on a dance to the moon - too soon

cry

I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.

You and I have lived through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.

I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
Once again
Cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend

no bravery

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families‚ turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness

high

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

wisemen

She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

annie

Annie, you had your dream on the bright lights
I thought I saw your photograph
and its such a laugh, in a magazine
Did it all come true?

then Annie, you were made for the big time
They said you were a star to be
In the NME
But the walls came tumbling down down, they go down on me

Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Annie, would it be nice to be recognized?
Did you practise your autograph?
But then no one's asked
And it's such a shame
Your dreams are crumbling

Annie, why aren't you big in limelight?
'Cause I thought that you said you'd be
A celebrity several years ago
But it all came tumbling down down, they go down on me

Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

tears and rain

How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

I guess it's time I run
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk through
the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could
Choose between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

I guess it's time I run
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It’s just tears and rain

Tears and rain
Tears and rain

Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It’s just tears and rain

fall ar your feet

And whenever I fall at your feet
Do you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

moana

Somehow calm as she walks on stage
Her entire empire becomes your taste...your taste...show me...come
Let me know what you're like...let me...know what you're like...
What's your taste?
I bet she carves your heart when she walks onstage
Her empire slowly becomes your place... your place...show me...come on
Let me know what you're like...let me...know what you're like...
In your place... your place...
Somehow calm as she walks offstage
An entire empire recall your face...your face...show me...come
Let me know what you're like...let me... know what you're like...
Your face...your face...

after dark

watching her
strolling in the night so white
wondering why
it's only after dark

In her eyes
a distant fire light burns bright
wondering why
it's only after dark

I find myself in her room
feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
through the floor
I'm knocking on the devil's door yeah

In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
and the note
says "only after dark"

Burning burning in the flame
now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
but she'll be back and rule again yeah

In my heart a deep and dark
and lonely part
wants her and waits for
after dark (x4)

right here

I know I've been mistaken,
but just give me a break and see the changes that I've made.
I've got some imperfections,
But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face
[Chorus]
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending, it's as much as I can take.
And you're so independent, you just refuse to bend
So I keep bending 'till I break

[Chorus]
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I've made a commitment, I'm willing to bleed for you
I needed fulfillment
I found what I need in you

Why can't you just forgive me?
I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way...

But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting
waiting
I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting


But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if I chose to walk away, would you be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting

bang bang

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

one last breath

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Chorus
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out 'Heaven save me'
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Chorus (Repeat Twice)
I'm so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking...

Chorus (Repeat Twice)

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is saf

how to save a life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just talk
Smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
She goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Chorus:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
pray to God he hears you
And pray to god he hears you

Chorus:

and Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours, grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Chorus:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life (x2)

How to save a life (x2)

Chorus:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life (x2)

How to save a life (x3

cold

Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high

[Chorus x2:]
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold

To you I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high

[Chorus x2]

I never meant to be so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me theres just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

change in the house of flies

i watched you change
Into a fly,
I looked away,
You were on fire.

I watched a change,
In you,
It's like you never,
Had wings,
Now you feel so alive,
I've watched you change.

I took you home,
Set you on the glass,
I pulled off your wings,
Then I laughed.

I watched a change,
In you,
It's like you never,
Had wings,
Now you feel so alive,
I've watched you change.

It's like you never,
Had wings.

Aaaahhh-ah-aaaahhh (x6)

I look at the cross,
Then I look away,
Give you the gun,
Blow me away.

I watched a change in you,
It's like you never had wings,
Now you feel so alive,
I've watched you change.

Now you feel alive,
You feel alive,
You feel alive,
I've watched you change.

It's like you never,
Had wings.

Aaaahhh-ah-aaaahhh (x6)

You've changed,
You've changed,
You've changed,
Into a fly

rabiteen

He said that he would stay forever
forever wasn't very long
He said that he would take the high road
He thought that I was always wrong
Cause when he lied it meant he loved me
And when he lied it meant he cared
And when he lied it meant he loved me
Cause when he lied it meant that he was there
He said that he would go his own way
wrapped up my leg and down my spine
He said that he would be the fairest
Drenched in blood and turpentine
Cause when he lied it meant he loved me
And when he lied it meant he cared
And when he lied it meant he loved me
Cause when he lied it meant that he was there
I am never going back I don't care what he said
I wish he could see the hate in my head
I am never going back I don't care what he said
I wish he could see the hate in my head
I am never going back I don't care what he said
I wish he could see the hate in my head
I am never going back I don't care what he said
I wish he could see the hate
He said that he would tell no secrets
He said that he would never lie
He said that he would spring eternal
He said that we would never die
Cause when he lied it meant he loved me
And when he lied it meant he cared
And when he lied it meant he loved me
Cause when he cried it meant he cared
Cause when he lied it meant he loved me
And when he lied it meant he cared
And when he lied it meant he loved me
Cause when he lied it meant that
he was
he was
he was
He was there

i fon't love you like i did yesterday

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Well come on, come on

When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

unforgiven

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man strugggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
Chorus

What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
Never free
Never me
So i dub thee UNFORGIVEN

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please then all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
Chorus


You labeled me
I'll label you
So i dub thee UNFORGIVEN

close to you

O take me home
Don't give up on me
My selfish heart is alone tonight
Wait they say you always get your way
True love aint doing me no good
I wanna let somebody out
And I need you now more than ever
And I need you now for me

I wanna be close to you when everyone's gone
I wanna be close to you when everyone is gone

Wait they say you always get your way
True love aint doing me no good
I wanna let somebody out
And I need you now more than ever
And I need you now for me

I wanna be close to you when everybody's gone

alone i break

pick me up
Been bleeding too long
Right here, right now
I'll stop it somehow

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Shut me off
I'm ready, heart stops
I stand alone
Can't be on my own

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Am I going to leave this place?
What is it I'm running from?
Is there nothing more to come?
(Am I gonna leave this place?)

Is it always black in space?
Am I going to take its place?
Am I going to win this race?
(Am I going to leave this race?)

I guess God's up in this place?
What is it that I've become?
Is there something more to come?

More to come

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

the gentleman who fell

Reaching over
life to life
feeling sugared skin
my poor baby
kissed him so
to ashamed to lift his chin

a voice is speaking
he's the prophet
blinded by the light
a heart is breaking
I can hear it
dropped when gone beyond my sight

hey there, Mr. Talk Too Much
what's in store for us now?

I don't know how to speak to you
I don't know how to trust you
I don't kow how to live for you
I don't know how to love you
the gentleman who fell before the court

I feel your closeness
like a shotgun
a chill within my soul
I touch your finger
know your darkness
your passion takes its' toll

can't see that this talk is cheap
let the suffering go

usted no sabe

Usted se me llevó
la vida y el alma entera
Y se há clavado aqui en mis huesos el dolor
Con esta angustia y esta pena
Usted, no sabe que se siente perder
No sabe que se siente caer y caer
en un abismo profundo y sin fe
Usted se me llevó la vida
y aqui me tiene
Como una roca que el oceano golpea
Que ahi esta, pero no siente
Usted, no sabe lo importante que fue
No sabe que su ausencia fue un trago de hiel
Que se há quedado clavada en mi piel

Usted no sabe
lo que es el amor
Y el miedo que causa
la desolación

Usted no sabe que daño causó
Como há destrozado
a este corazón
Que tan solo palpitaba
con el sonido de su voz
Con el sonido de su voz

Usted se me llevó la vida
todas mis ganas
Y me há dejado congelada la razón
Y viva la desesperanza
Usted, no sabe que se siente perder
No sabe que su adiós fue morirme de sed
Que desgarró en este cuerpo su ser
Usted no sabe lo que es el amor
y el miedo que causa
la desolacion
usted no sabe
que daño causo
como ha destrozado a ese corazon
q tan solo palpitaba con el conido de su voz
con el sonido d su voz

Usted no sabe de verdad como se ama
Usted no sabe como he sufrido yo
Usted es fria y su maldad me hiela el alma
Usted llenó mi vida toda de dolor
Porque no sabe lo que es el amor
Ni el miedo que causa la desolación
Usted no sabe que daño causó
Como há destrozado a este corazón
usted no sabe
lo ke es el amor
y el miedo que causa
la desolacion
usted no sabe
que daño causo
como a destrozado a este corazon
usted no sabe
lo que es el amor

el mana

Summer don't know me no more
Eager man, that's all

Summer don't know me
He just let me love in my sea
Cause I do know, Lord,
from you that
Just died, yeah

I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine

Don't stop the buck when it comes
It's the dawn, you'll see

Money won't get there
Ten years passed tonight
You'll flee

If you do that,
I'll be some
To find you

I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine

I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine

heard'em say

And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
From the Chi, like Tim its the Hard-a-way,
So this is in the name of love, like Robert says
Before you ask me to get a job today, can I at least get a raise on a minimum wage?
And I know the government administered AIDS,
So I guess we just pray like the minister say,
Allah o Akbar and throw em some hot cars,
Things we see on the screen are not ours,
But these niggas from the hood so these dreams not far,
Where im from, the dope boys is the rock stars,
But they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars,
I guess they want us all behind bars.
I know it.

[Chorus (Adam Levine)]
Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)

[Kanye]
They say people in your life are seasons,
And anything that happen is for a reason,
And niggas guns a clappin and keep to squeezin',
And Gran (Grandma) keep prayin' and keep believin',
And Jesus and one day that ya see him,
Till they walk in his footsteps and try to be him,
The devil is alive I feel him breathin',
Claimin' money is the key so keep on dreamin',
And put them lottery tickets just to tease us,
My aunt Pam can't put those cigarettes down,
Now my lil cousin smokin those cigarettes now,
His job trying to claim that he too niggerish now,
Is it cuz his skin blacker than licorice now?
I can't figure it out...
Im Stickin around....

[Chorus (Adam Levine)]
Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(ooooooooo)
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)
But we'll find a way
(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)

(Cuz every worthless word we get more far away, and nothing's ever promised tomorrow today,
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)

black sunday

I can't breath at all
It hurts to think
That time could heal my wounds
Feeling I've been betrayed
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't sleep at all
Now you're gone away
I can't fake this anymore
Guess I could blame it all
On God's game
Or explain what my life's for

[Chorus]
Caught in a winter's rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling

I would trade it all
For another day
Just to feel you and your warmth
But even pictures fade
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't see at all
Did you fly away
Did the stars shine bright for you
Guess I could blame it all
On God's game
It was fate that carried you

[Chorus]

You always take away
Take away
Take away

[Chorus x2]

And I'm falling...

I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm fallin

sad happy ( she was only seventeen )

ahe was only seventeen,
and forced to blame it on herself,
as she hides a way to tame the pain she feels,
She was thrown into a scene,
a drunken man without a will,
And the God that makes mistakes and still pretends,

And I'll be strong
And I will sing
And I will take your pain away

And I'll be strong
And I will sing
And I will take your pain away

She was only trying to breathe,
Her broken nails had sliced his skin,
As he bruised her face she fades away again,
When she came to at the scene,
A fevered will,
And a match in hand
As she watched the flame
She felt alive again

And I'll be strong
And I will sing
And I will take your pain away

And I'll be strong
And I will sing
And I will take your pain away

Can you feel

Can you feel

Can you feel

Can you feel

And I'll be strong
And I will sing
And I will take your pain away

And I'll be strong
And I will sing
And I will take your pain away

Can you feel

Can you feel

Can you feel

Can you feel
