Sleep
04:10
|
|||
|
When I wake up, I close my eyes...
I try to remember my dreams from the night
I cling to the sheets, and try to shut my eyes and get out of this life
The angels scream from the backlit trees, yeah I hear them cry...
Let him sleep, let him sleep
And it follows, this feeling of regret
Not for what I have done, but for everything that I haven't yet
If I make my bed, then I'll lie in it...
But I can't sleep, all I sow I reap, and I'm not makin shit
The ink is bleeding out, and all I write, I tear it up to bits
The last cry of a far cry sideshow, and no one wants to listen to it...
And I don't know where I'm going but rest assured, I'm going there slow
And I'm betting on anywhere but here
Poised for the poison, I'm running out of choices; In reflection, now I question what choice I had at all
Fall to my knees, on the cemetery leaves, and I cry how I never said, my love, goodbye
Fat, sick and yellow, the final words I bellow in the night: please god
Let me sleep, let me sleep

What Good Am I
04:44
|
|||
|
Give up the feelings you get, the highs, the lows and the last cigarette of your life
The knife will cut never again, give the pain, give the love, take the medicine
And you'll never regret, take it in and reset, lose it all
Good for the moment, so own it and let yourself live, outside your mind
Thoughts in their place, on your face lies the trace of a smile, loving and kind
Everything's vivid and clear, but the image is lost, just colors and lines
Breaking yourself to connect to your health, but in turn, you're losing the time
I'm embarrassed, I'll admit it's further than I thought I'd let it go
But now, I'm stumbling for words
I'm breaking off a piece, releasing this, maybe I'll never be the same
With all of the rain, what good is my sky?
So I adjust as I must if I wish to align, and straighten my mind
Days go unnoticed, it's good, I suppose I could say I'm feeling fine
But where is my terror? My gut wrenching flares that compose and arrange on the lines
Should I expect if neglecting my hectic desire, my hands should resign?
Take a moment, let it hit you, thoughts can take you, shake you, grip you
Take your heart, collapse and tear it, but it's not without its merit
Everything is worth its while, savage thoughts can make you smile
Art is art and hearts, are smart to let us forge a brighter start
I'm breaking off from these releases, who's to say I shouldn't be this way?
Without all my pain, what good am I?

Cupids' Roaches
03:38
|
|||
|
Burrow your head and kill all the lights
The cockroaches bury their dead in the night
And they give birth again, all the thoughts in your head
And they haunt you again and again
In the morning they find you again
Walking around with your hands at your side with your eyes on the road and your thoughts in the sky
And you'd just end it all for a second of quiet
They whisper and moan again
They burrow a home again
Cupid's arrow is now lodged in your spine
Making every move that you make just a bit out of time
Retrograde, petrol run empty, I'm dry
And I'm crawling and I'm just running more and more behind
Stubborn steel boots, heavy chains at my feet
With the rain in my clothes and the blistering heat
And I'd give anything just to lay down and die
Yet I get up and I try
To push and to stay alive
Melodies trapped in the spaces inside of my brain
Where the creatures lie dormant and hide
And they come out to play at the end of the day
When I'm trying to close my eyes
They scream and they whimper and cry
Cupid's arrow is now lodged in your spine
Making every move that you make just a bit out of time
Retrograde, petrol run empty, I'm dry
And I'm crawling and I'm just running more and more behind

Lightning
05:39
|
|||
|
With her hand around the bottle with the lightning in tow
She tried her best to carry it far as she could go
She's done with her home, with her friends, with her own
Identity, she's making it up along the way
The boys are fallin hard you know they wish she could stay
She's gone, in a beat
All she loves, all she leaves
But if she finds that her stubbornness
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
I'll be here if you are
If you find life ain't as easy as you
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
By your side the minute that you want it
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind
With her hand around the bottle sinking further than low
She buries every feeling far down as they can go
She's gone far from home, far from friends, on her own
And the memory of everything that brought her to now
Keeps her going for the moment, but the thought comes around
It's gone, in a beat
Every chance, every dream
But if she finds that her stubbornness
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
I'll be here if you are
If you find that life ain't as easy as you
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
By your side the minute that you want it
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind

That Doesn't Happen
04:37
|
|||
|
Let me up let me out let me go
I just wanna get gone, I just wanna go home
Man, what a man, what a fine lookin man, I guess I'll leave you two alone
Notes and keys and all of these can never stack against a set of bright white teeth
And a clean cut look with a nice strong jaw
What chance do I stand with a pen and a song
No I won't
Get the girl get the girl
No I won't
That doesn't happen, that doesn't happen to me
Diamond studded studs with studded jackets laced with angel dust
They all supply what the money can buy, and they give what they got, what they got's enough
Foot on the gas, going fast going far, with his hand attached to his daddy's card
And the girls still stare, cause the money's still there
Well maybe I never could compare
No I won't
Get the girl get the girl
No I won't
That doesn't happen, no that doesn't happen to me
Maybe I'm cynical, I just need to wait it out
Maybe I'm cynical, all is fair in love and doubt
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'll find
Someone to hold, someone's who's mine
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'll find
Someone to hold, someone's who's mine
No I won't
Get the girl get the girl
No I won't
That doesn't happen, no that doesn't happen, no
That doesn't happen, no that doesn't happen, no
That doesn't happen, that doesn't happen to me

Lambs
02:46
|

|
Mary sold the land today, gave the lambs away
Into the world they roamed and travelled on their own
No more child's play, songs were sung today
But tomorrow rent is due and I am fucked
Stole some food today, gave some shit away
I'm selling plasma just for cash to fill my car
Hope is gone away, debt is here to stay
Gone for now to solve my problems at the bar
Falling further into this, growing up and giving in
Everything is going great, carry on, fade away
Father ain't too proud to be, mother's mad at me
The family's mental and I'm following their steps
To insanity, into blasphemy
God doesn't know me, if he did he'd hate my guts
Falling further into this growing up and giving in
Everything is going great, carry on, fade away

Blushed
03:38
|

|
Sit pretty looking hollow, the black hole's latest model
Blushed up and poised even, beautiful bloodied heathen
In dark light she sees me, in dark light she sees me
In dark light
I'm happy, elated; this days the fucking greatest
I've waited, the latest, for all the lies you promised
I can't wait to leave here, I'm fucking giddy, cheery
I'll see you all in hell, at least that's my hopeful theory
Stay tuned kids it's not over, this monkey's half past sober
Mental block like sheet rock has all but knocked him over
Hell bound, heaven sent, launched up through space and back again
No end line, run past limp, everyone's favorite gimp
In dark light, they breed me
In dark light they breed me
In dark light
Seventeen seemed hopeless, and I'm trying not to notice
Things haven't gotten better, I'm facing colder weathers
The shore lines receding, seems I'm due for a beating
They're coming, they're feeding, commence this final bleeding
In dark light they made me
In dark light they made me
In dark light they made me
They made me

Crush
04:03
|
|||
|
Oh shit, I'm fucked up
I let a bit of liquor hit the bottom of my cup
They all said this wouldn't hurt but man they lied
Caught a feeling for you now
And it's dragging me straight to hell yeah watch me
Die
This conversation's going nowhere really fast
Watch the hands tick slower sand in grains are
Dropping in the glass at record lows
Eyes locked for years, gears are frozen in the moment
You are beauty, you are grace
You're every feel I've ever known
Crush me 'til I sleep, and you'll be gone by the morning
Hold my hands and keep, my head down under water
Lay me down so sweet, we can lay together
Maybe when I'm dead
Oh shit, I fucked up
My brain it swells and still there's liquor in my cup
Hair of the dog to get me going get me up
And get me out into the streets
Trying my best to go out and connect but watch me
Burn
Never been the type to fall flat on my ass
Now I'm lonely and I'm drinking 'til I'm passed out in the grass
Got this feeling in my guts that maybe this will never pass
But if I know anything, It's that nothing ever lasts
Crush me 'til I sleep, and you'll be gone by the morning
Hold my hands and keep my head down under water
Lay me down so sweet, we can lay together
Maybe when I'm dead
Crush the pills and sniff and blush
And know I'll never trust someone who has their fun
Playing with a loaded gun
Cut me down a size or two
I'm hypnotized by you
My favorite sedative, give you all I have to give
Make me question why I live
I'm in too deep so
Crush me 'til I sleep and you'll be gone by the morning
Hold my hands and keep my head down under water
Lay me down so sweet, we can lay together
Maybe when I'm dead

Deserve
04:16
|
|||
|
Fallin over feet, a laugh cries out over the beat just as I land
Hand over hand, and
I know it must seem strange to hear but somethings rearranging all my clothes
Stubbing all my toes, fucking up my
Life just for the fun somewhere somehow someway someone is pulling strings
Changing everything, shakin up
My drinks, and dying gray into my hair,to my dismay it's everywhere , every here and there
What did I do, to piss you off
God give a damn, here I am, absolve me
What did I do, what can I do , what should I do, what do I deserve
Clippin off my nails and bleedin out as I go pale I'm fuckin done
Million to none
Breaking off the laces of my shoes and crying out my white boy blues into the streets
I can't find the beats
I can't even buy another pair I'm fucking broke beyond compare
But it's alright make it through the night
Trying out my hand at making eyes with any woman passing by
Only to leave
Lonely lovin on my sheets
What did I do, to piss you off
God give a damn, here I am, absolve me
What did I do, what can I do , what should I do, what do I deserve

Way To Live
03:48
|
|||
|
My doors are always open you can come in any time you like
My minds made to be broken, and rebuilt to shape every night
Collapse the path and carry on
From dark until the dawn
I'm not the only one
Who lives for having fun
I don't need to say it to make you understand
Take a fucking look things don't go as they're planned
This ain't meant to be an easy way out
This is how we live it's not too funny, never for the money, it wears you out, it's a hell of a way to live
Drinking, overthinking, it's enough to eat me alive
Guilty by admission, I've been known to give bad advice
I fuck, I smoke, and I blaspheme
Your god abandoned me
He only guarantees
That one day I will die
I don't need to say it to make you understand
Take a fucking look things don't go as they're planned
This ain't meant to be an easy way out
This is how we live it's not too funny, never for the money, it wears you out, it's a hell of a way to live
It's safe to say the way of making paths by breaking glass is not a way that's free of enemies
Amazing how it feels to live your life absorbed in spite and never owing an apology
It's easiest to stand amongst the ones who often shun the likes of us, so just look down on me
It's easier to just give up, commit to not giving a fuck, to cast a stone and push your luck
I don't need to say it to make you understand
Take a fucking look things don't go as they're planned
This ain't meant to be an easy way out
This is how we live it's not too funny, never for the money, it wears you out, it's a hell of a way to live

Gestapo
04:27
|

|
Don't tell me settle, settle down, settle down
They're making waves in the streets, in the towns
Don't be fooled, they know the way to make you all resound
Sing the praises, sing the lines, sing the hymns
You think the worst that they could do is him?
Well he may be the CIC, but that's not where it ends
The Gestapo don't ask, they just round up by class, and they fend for their own
Don't be sad, don't be lonely, it's bad
But you'll never really be alone
A crafted masterpiece the media disperse
Give you a hero and then take him in a hearse
Lift you up, and throw him down, just like they rehearsed
God only knows what the bastards choose to preach
Design a model, not to heal, not to teach
To pacify and glorify the makings of the leach
The Gestapo don't ask, they just round up by class
And they fend for their own
Don't be sad, don't be lonely, it's bad
But you'll never really be alone

Insomnia
05:25
|
|||
|
I drifted in and out of thoughts until I woke somewhere else
Confusion set. And I admit I'd rather be anyone else the figures shift and blend as if a dream I could not stop
I watch the minutes turn to hours passing on the clock
I don't wanna be the person losing it again, don't wake me up
Everything to me is longer waiting for the sun, Insomnia
I pass the time with blacking out, It's a hobby that takes me where I wanna go
The conversation keeps me busy, and what I say I'll never really know
A drink or two will take the edge off, and send me far away to somewhere new maybe I'll sing or find a way to end you never know just what I'll do
I don't wanna be the person losing it again, don't wake me up everything to me is longer waiting for the sun, Insomnia
I don't wanna be the person losing it again, don't wake me up everything to me is longer waiting for the sun, Insomnia
