You tell me I'm the devil
Then scratch my flesh with your horns You tell me do what I say Don't do what I've done I can see the way you act and I can see the way you lie I can see the truth right through you Open up your mouth and fly You say you are better than me You say you are all supreme You can't tell the truth in spite of you And every little step a dream Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Everything I do you tell me Everything I do is wrong Lecture all about the evils Go until I write this song And make a pile your opinions Make an observation law Don't hold back and tell me what you Hear and feel and spoke and saw Hypocrite, oh yeah Hypocrite Hypocrite You're nothing but a Hypocrite Yeah Don't know what to do Don't know where to go But I know what you're gonna say Take a stab at all my dreams and visions Lash out, maybe guilt will wash away Wash away Don't know what to do Don't know where to go But I know what you're gonna say Take a stab at all my dreams and visions Lash out, maybe guilt will wash away Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite Hypocrite, hypocrite Hypocrite, hypocrite Hypocrite 02. Take
See the way you take my soul
Laugh at how you steal my pride Crush the dreams that I once had I'll take it all in stride Give up everything I've worked for Give you everything you want Leave behind my friends and past To watch you walk away I did it all for you I gave you more than I had to give I gave it all to you I keep on giving and you just take Take what you want from me And throw the rest away See you standing proud About the way you forced me down Into the ground Show me how to fear another Teach me not to trust again Always look over my shoulder Live with what you took from me No more can I close my eyes I just see you walk away I can't clear my head of you I cry another day I did it all for you I gave you more than I had to give I gave it all to you I keep on giving and you just take Take, take, take Take what you want from me And throw the rest away See you standing proud About the way you forced me down Into the ground Take what you need from me And leave the rest behind Take what you want Take it and leave Take what you want from me And throw the rest away See you standing proud About the way you forced me down Into the ground 03. The Cold
It all comes down to this
How to hold on to life I once had with you An addiction like this The supply slips away without warning Don't know how to survive I still need you to fill all the voids inside You're the blood inside You're the beat of my soul You're the breath inside You're the thought that I hold You're the blood inside You're the beat of my soul How should I keep time from ticking away Stop tomorrow from coming How can I hold the craving at bay So better off when I didn't know Coming at me so fast I can't run Years of minutes of seconds of time Put inside all I am, all I have Pay the toll to hear what's on my mind Where do I go from here The sun doesn't rise where I am Spring never rises from fall And the nightingale doesn't sing Where do I go from here There is no yellow brick road No reference for my dreams And no warmth to hide the cold The cold The cold The cold The cold What is left for the time that I have What is forward for looking to Every path that I take is washed out Every star is burnt out to follow Passing by me so fast motion slow Years of minutes of seconds of time Generations learning what I know Pay the toll to hear what's on my mind Where do I go from here The sun doesn't rise where I am Spring never rises from fall And the nightingale doesn't sing Where do I go from here There is no yellow brick road No reference for my dreams And no warmth to hide the cold The cold The cold The cold The cold The cold The cold The cold The cold 04. Black Cloud
I've never screwed anyone
That didn't fuck me And I don't climb the branch Of another man's tree I try not to talk Behind the back Never enter into thought If you're Jew or black Always pay what I owe Owe what I pay Doesn't matter if you're female Muslim or gay If you're cool to me I'll be cool to you And if you lie to me I won't be straight with you I never win the lottery Never catch a break When I get money back You bet it's a mistake When I gamble I should just throw it away I take another hit But know I should've stayed The green light goes To start the race But the helmet falls down To cover my face I spread my wings And I'm ready to fly And the wind and thunder clouds Cover the sky Why does all the crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me? How much of this can I take? Why does all the crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me? How much of this can I take? Why does the black cloud follow me? Why does the black cloud follow me? Black cloud follow When I beat you I was just returning serve I climbed the ladder once When I had nerve Run for my life But stop to tie my shoe When I raped you I was just taming the shrew There's a paycheck in my name I see But I've got no acceptable form of ID There's a wall at the end Of a broken path Add two and two together But beware of the math There's a place on earth Where I feel safe But I've never been able To find that place When I'm high I think I've got it figured out Yet my performance is filled With an aching doubt There's a feel in the air That I'm going to win But the air up here Is extremely thin There's a storm cloud chasing me Wherever I go And the only people helping me Keep telling me no Why does all the crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me? How much of this can I take? Why does all the crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me? How much of this can I take? Why does the black cloud follow me? Why does the black cloud follow me? Black cloud follows How much of this can I take? Why does all the crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me? How much of this can I take? Why does the black cloud follow me? Why does the black cloud follow me? Black cloud follows Black cloud follows Black cloud follows Why does all the crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me? 05. Blackened Eyes Staring
She can't handle all the evil things
That life has come to give Taking everything she loves Destroying the home where she lives Death does her no favors Sparing her and killing everyone else Leaving her to face the world alone And leaving her by herself Wreath of dead roses Wrapped around her head Blackened eyes staring Not at me, but through instead There's an evil in her smile That gets me high What has happened here She looks like she once could fly You can see the fear She looks like she once could fly Until she dies Dead Dead Dead Dead Every time her eyes are open All she sees is blood and fear Can only dream of jagged steel Ripping her from ear to ear Wishing more and more every day To be dead and gone and free Wishing more and more every day To be a little dead fairy Wreath of dead roses Wrapped around her head Blackened eyes staring Not at me, but through instead There's an evil in her smile That gets me high What has happened here She looks like she once could fly You can see the fear She looks like she once could fly Until she dies Dead Dead Dead Dead Wreath of dead roses Wrapped around her head Blackened eyes staring Not at me, but through instead There's an evil in her smile That gets me high Dead Dead Dead Dead Dead Dead Dead Dead 06. Better Off Dead
Sometimes I feel like just ending it all
Every step a broken leg Every floor breaks a fall I can't only not see light I can't find the tunnel Life keeps giving me an uphill climb Without a ladder or a rope Without a prayer or a hope I can't only not see light I can't find the tunnel I can't find my way Don't know if I'll see tomorrow Or the rest of today I can't raise my head Maybe I'm better off dead Better off dead Better off dead Better off dead I can't only not see light I'm better off dead Every time we try to step ahead Step ahead There's a force that holds us down Holds us back, keeps us in And I pray every day That things will take a turn That tomorrow brings me hope That today will slip away I can't only not see light I can't close my eyes I have lost my way Don't know about tomorrow Or the best of today I won't raise my head And so I'm better off dead Better off dead Better off dead Better off dead I can't only not see light I'm better off dead I can't only not see light I'm better off dead Sometimes I feel like I've ended it all Every step a shooting pain Every floor breaks a fall I can't only not see light I'm better off dead Better off dead Better off So stick my body in the ground And find a priest and gather round And say a little prayer to god Throw some flowers on the sod cause I will never see light And I'm better off dead 07. Falling Short
Can you feel the drive?
Can you feel the push? Does the blood start to boil Subconscious making a fist Every face a target Every life a prize Just the thought of pain Keeps your anger alive I can feel my heart Breaking in pieces Nothing but sorrow Haunting inside Loneliness killing me Ever so slowly Blade to my throat And prepare to die Is it worth my life? Is it worth your life? Is it worth wasting the time? Can it be all so Thought overtaking? Can we just let it slip by? Hands are shaking mouth is dry and My heart breaking watching you die Spinning backward falling short of Pitching in to save your life Bare to taste it Bare to feel it Bare to live Grit your teeth Grit your clench Grit and bare Feel the glory Feel the pain Feel the fade Crawl to safety Crawl on your knees Fall to your death Hands are shaking mouth is dry and My heart breaking watching you die Spinning backward falling short of Pitching in to save your life I have felt my heart Crumble to pieces Finally sorrow Ventures outside Loneliness walking Away from its kill Blade in my throat I'm left to die It's taken my life It'll take your life Taking it's sweet, sweet time It's taking over Over and over Stealing and wasting our time Hands are shaking mouth is dry and My heart breaking watching you die Spinning backward falling short of Pitching in to save your life I can feel my heart Breaking in pieces Nothing but sorrow Empty inside My heart is breaking 08. Always
I see you comin'
From miles away I see the crap that You're spittin' out your face I can see right through your shit And about a pound ago I had enough of it And I love when you try to disguise How much you despise How much you despise me Long ago I thought we were through There's nothing I can say There's nothing I can do Still you kept me hangin' on To amuse yourself You can play the god I see you And you're in my mind Always dead Always dead each time I see you leavin' You're miles away I see the crap that You're leavin' in your trace I can see right through your shit And about a ton ago I had enough of it And I love when you try to disguise How much you despise How much you despise me Long ago I thought we were through There's nothing I can say Nothing I wanna do Still you kept me hangin' on To amuse yourself You have played the god I see you And you're in my mind Always dead Always dead each time I can see right through your shit And about a pound ago I had enough of it And I love when you try to disguise How much you despise How much you despise me Long ago I thought we were through There's nothing I can say There's nothing I can do Still you kept me hangin' on To amuse yourself You play the god I see you And you're in my mind Always dead Always dead each time I see you And you're in my mind Always dead Always dead each time 09. K.Y.A
So you wanna come up on me
Chest out up on both feet Puffed up, look down your nose Attitude up on your tip toes Hope you know how it's gonna be Blood and knuckles out in the street Come at me like a drunk in a bar You must like the taste of road tar Woah the end of you Woah the end of you I will kick your ass You cryin' pussy I will kick your ass You fuckin' sally girl Run home cry to mama Don't come back here again Go home and wash your skirt And paint your nails And face like you've been I can't stand you Can't even look at you Don't wanna hear you cry I just can't deal with fragile little boys I'd rather see you die So you sneak up from behind A cheap shot like I was blind You better make it the shot of the year And when I get up don't you be here There's no place you can hide So you better keep runnin' Dress up like the girl you are And hide out in the ladies stall Run home cry to mama Don't come back here again Go home and wash your skirt And paint your nails And face like you've been I can't stand you Can't even look at you Don't wanna hear you cry I just can't deal with fragile little boys I'd rather see you die I will kick your ass You cryin' pussy I will kick your ass You fuckin' sally girl Run home cry to mama Don't come back here again Go home and wash your skirt And paint your nails And face like you've been I can't stand you Can't even look at you Don't wanna hear you cry I just can't deal with fragile little boys I'd rather see you die 10. Secret Life
Well I can see by the look in your eye
That everything I'm telling you Is passing you by There's a side of me that you don't know And if you listen close I'll tell you what you want to hear That I can see by the look in your eye That I can see by the look in your eye So I don't have to hear you cry Stick a needle in my eye So I don't have to see your tears Scream until I couldn't hear So I don't have to feel your pain I bang my head till I'm insane So I don't have to know the truth I don't wanna know the real you I know by the angle of your brow That everything I'm telling you Is confusing you now I know where I really should be Always guessing what's next What's cool for me There's a dream that I just can't see There's a path of a way To get where I wanna be There's a drive in my soul A pounding beat of rock and roll I've got a secret life An aching need an unlived dream I've got a secret life An unknown desire chasing me I've got a secret life An aching need an unlived dream I need a secret life A way to escape the one I live So many things you don't know That count on me to be the show So many places you may go Exist because I am Action adventure in my mind A job well done of a different kind Lives depend on my every move And death becomes my favorite groove I don't know where I'm meant to be But nowhere I've been seems right to me I can tell when I'm in the right place Strapped in my seat and ready to race I can tell when I'm in the groove Everything's a go and ready to move And I really ain't been there yet But I ain't done on that, you can bet I've got a secret life An aching need an unlived dream I've got a secret life An unknown desire chasing me I've got a secret life An aching need an unlived dream I need a secret life A way to escape the one I live So many things you don't know That count on me to be the show So many places you may go Exist because I am Action adventure in my mind A job well done of a different kind Lives depend on my every move And death becomes my favorite groove So many things you don't know That count on me to be the show So many places you may go Exist because I am Action adventure in my mind A job well done of a different kind Lives depend on my every move And death becomes my favorite groove Secret life |
