I feel guilty about being alive
I've been hiding in the basement of my mind If I don't keep moving My feet will fall asleep It gets a little harder When the snow's so deep What I take I take on the chin They keep asking hey what's wrong with him I look alone But there's a crowd I see And I know you can't tell Which one is me If I don't keep moving My feet will fall asleep It gets a little harder When the snow's so deep Waiting for my help! Hope you can hold your breath Not doing anything that's what I do best Which one is me I look alone But there's a crowd I see And I know you can't tell Which one is me 02. Empty Air
Feeling shellshocked
Barbedwire, I'm torn apart Warheads dead ends Parties only we attend The runaround, out of ground Your god damned sympathy Wears me down! I've spent my life Reaching out to empty air Slipping faster all the time But no one seems to care! Concrete breaks my fall Trouble ten stories tall Sunshine, I can't sleep Just like my life on TV Church bells drowning me out My ears ring, your favorite sound! Clench my fists to strands That really don't exist I try not to fool myself But still I cant resist! I've spent my life Reaching out to empty air Slipping faster all the time But no one seems to care! Clench my fists to strands That really don't exist I try not to fool myself But still I cant resist! Blood born my loss Nailed to more than Just a cross Driven hard, brick fence My twenty first second chance Shellshocked Barbedwire Warheads Your god damned sympathy Concrete ten stories tall Feeling shellshocked Empty air Empty air 03. Pick A Window
Another lamp with the bulb broken out
You can't see in here but I know how I know glass is made of sand But I see right through enough to understand Downfall delivery At any speed You'll scare yourself creeping up on me Hit myself hard in the head Thought I could hold the hit instead I burnt myself! Pick a window because now you're leaving Do you like hospital food - You will Can your mother sew - Have her stitch' this Things fade away that's what they tell Look in the water can't see myself so well Hoping for a place that safe You got me instead I've been waiting around all day Just to see shadows spread I'm hiding in the basement of my mind It's cold and dark in here Just what I thought Learned my lessons well These stitches keeping count Going under is all I got down Pick a window because now you're leaving Do you like hospital food - You will Can your mother sew - Have her stitch' this 04. 12 Year Old Boy With A Gun
Hey kids where you been
I hope not killing again What's that I see in your coat What's that scar from on your throat Fill yourself ruin anybodies life I smoke a lot, but never got that high On life putting on a price Not worth anything take what you like I hope you like what you see So you there's no reason to point that gun at me I'll fix it all with a gun Right or wrong can't be undone A bullet changes everything Hear the echo of the shots that ring Should have only had to look Through the playground bars Never thought what you'd end up seein' Would be so hard! I'll fix it all with a gun Right or wrong can't be undone A bullet changes everything Hear the echo of the shots that ring I'll fix it all with a gun Right or wrong can't be undone A bullet changes everything Hear the echo of the shots that ring 05. Missing
If it were oh just gone
If it just wasn't there Would I disappear Would I even care Avoid in the arrangement A blindspot in my mind A space in what's important A black hole of some kind It walks right beside me Invisible to most Not an apparition not the holy ghost Sdumble two another day Not knowing what is wrong Not stolen not lost or broken Been missing for so long Can't quite find it in me Fading pulse can I survive My heart fails me again Flatlined But still alive It walks right beside me Invisible to most Not an apparition not the holy ghost Dragging it behind me, Can't hold on any more Slips through my fingers And scatters on the floor It hovers right above me As I move from door to door When I hang my head in shame It lies then on the floor Searching for what I may never know It's missing I can feel it Can't just let it go When I reach out I can feel it! It walks right beside me Invisible to most Not an apparition not the holy ghost It hovers right above me As I move from door to door When I hang my head in shame It lies there on the floor Talks from inside me, silent to most Not the voice of god Not the only ghost Dragging it behind me, Can't hold on any more Slips through my fingers And scatters on the floor It lies there on the floor Missing 06. Blindside
What's this, conscience with claws
The protest without the cause Straight through drawing to the air Run you over to get it here Lost in my own insides Any tool to fix it right Never free from myself Always running from myself Can't see me in my blindside Stopping tomorrow tonight Forget about feelings use you like they use me Can't even see you in the daylight Fanatic full of facts tonight Nothing's free Anything, corrosive magnet Dissolving everything within Can't see me in my blindside Stopping tomorrow tonight Blindside they see my blindside Stopping tomorrow tonight Got what I wanted to know displaced Override guy reason to win Winning's not for everyone The darkest dirt again If I turn on my lights out I won't have to clean my house I won't have to clean my house Can't see me in my blindside Stopping tomorrow tonight Blindside they see my blindside Stoppin tomorrow tonight Can't see me in my blindside Stopping tomorrow tonight Blindside they see my blindside Stoppin tomorrow tonight 07. Remember
Newspaper blanket covers my view
But I still get the story through The more people that I meet The less friends that I keep Words roll off my tongue like spit I reighin again get used to it The dust you kicked about Ended up in my mouth I don't care what they say As long as they remember me What they all think of me now is All that I'll ever be I'm sinking taking everyone down Remember what I spoke I'm throwing in the towel now To stuff it down your throat I don't care what they say As long as they remember me What they all think of me now is All that I'll ever be I'm sinking taking everyone down Remember what I spoke I'm throwing in the towel now To stuff it down your throat I don't care what they say As long as they remember me What they all think of me now is All that I'll ever be I'm sinking taking everyone down Remember what I spoke I'm throwing in the towel now To stuff it down your throat 08. Destructive Signs
Toast I
Spit on lost reality Canived underneath the sun Had to go and drive the needle Of my mind right through my heart Absence of thought disturbs me I've seen me in a dream! I've lost me in a dream! Burn II Longing like a new widow Wanting to rejoin Force fed dosed on reality Indian giver be true or trade away I've liked me in a dream! I've loved me in a dream! Tangled web Quit wasting my time Why can't I get back To where I've never been Let the flesh Instruct the mind Destructive signs Spaced III Spend my time counting The snowflakes in my mind I never show, even though You know I know the way I know the way I've seen me in a dream! I've lost me in a dream! Tangled web Quit wasting my time Why can't I get back To where I've never been Let the flesh Instruct the mind Destructive signs Lost IV Sitting here waiting For myself I'm late again That's always certain As long as I make it back Make it back I'm living me in a dream! I'm lost me in a dream! Tangled web Quit wasting my time Why can't I get back To where I've never been Let the flesh Instruct the mind Destructive signs Tangled web Quit wasting my time Why can't I get back To where I've never been Let the flesh Instruct the mind Destructive signs Let the flesh intruct the mind 09. Smoked Out
I come to you for guidance
I come to you for help You just see a bright idea To benefit yourself You know that there's no risk Nothing you should dread On to your deception This view of wool delights my head Finally I realize what you're all about Time to pull out all the stops Don't make me spell it on All I know is what I'd do If I was in your shoes Nothing close to what you've done Nothing close to what you do Tell me that I'm failing Hold me under thumb Pay off my emotions made Blind deaf dumb Another hole in the bucket Where it's wet you're gonna slide Can't walk down the middle without Slipping off the side Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore I come to your for guidance I come to call a truce You take the rope I climb and tie at in a noose Ask my permission To ask my permission Don't even take a breath unless I know Tell me that I'm failing Hold me under thumb Pay off my emotions made Blind deaf dumb Another hole in the bucket Where it's wet you're gonna slide Can't walk down the middle without Slipping off the side Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore I come to you for guidance I come to call a truce You take the rope I climb and tie at in a noose Finally I realize what you're all about Now pack your shit and get the fuck out You will make it up to me You will make amends Will will not be family And we can not be friends I realize what you're all about Now pack your shit and get the fuck out Tell me that I'm failing Hold me under thumb Pay off my emotions made Blind deaf dumb Another hole in the bucket Where it's wet you're gonna slide Can't walk down the middle without Slipping off the side Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore 10. Poet's Tell
Living on your own again
What's gonna keep you clean this time But how you wear your skin so hard And breath that turpentine You're not her only hurting sin But her favorite one it seems You thought you'd die When you heard goodbye And sank your dreams You're just confused like the rest of us About your next meal Left mistakes everywhere For the whole word to feel It comes around once more Get drunk again before we go I wish I'd heard his last dying words Last dying words My train of thought gets slow Why I'm never even know You need prayer more than Anyone I ever knew But save a prayer for later To get a drink or two Remember when we all said That we could stop any time Poets tell how gods fell Through his last dying words Last dying words My train of thought gets slow Why I'll never even know You need prayer more than Anyone I ever knew But save a prayer for later To get a drink or two Remember when we all said That we could stop any time Poets tell how gods fell Through his last dying words Last dying words |
