Stretch the bones over my skin
Stretch the skin over my head, I'm going to the holy land Stretch the marks over my eyes Burn the candles deep inside Yeah, you know where I'm coming from So give up to greed, you don't have to feed me Yeah, give up to fate, you don't have to need me So let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it? And drown me in you So slip down the darkness to the mouth Damn the water burn the wine I'm going home for the very last time So throw it away, you don't have to take me Make no mistakes I am what you make me So let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it? And drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you Drown me in you, drown me in Drown me in, oh drown me in, yeah drown me in, yeah I see you turn around and burning down The feeling starts to sink I feel the hurt surround me Please dissolve me She's resolved to be So heal my wounds without a trace And seal my tomb without my face I'm going to the lonely place Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me, yeah Give up to fate, you don't have to need me So let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it go, won't you let it? And drown me in you, drown me in you Drown me in you, drown me in you Drown me in you, drown me in you Drown me in you, drown me in you Drown me in 02. My Wave
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece If it feels alright Break, if you like the sound If it gets you up If it turns you down Share, if it makes you sleep If it sets you free If it helps you breathe Don't come over here And piss on my gate Save it, just keep it Off my wave Cry, if you want to cry If it helps you see If it clears your eyes Hate, if you want to hate If it keeps you safe If it makes you brave Pray, if you want to pray If you like to kneel If you like to lay Don't come over here And piss on my gate Save it, just keep it Off my wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave My wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave Cry, if you want to cry If it helps you see If it clears your eyes Hate, if you want to hate If it keeps you safe If it makes you brave And take, if you want a slice If you want a piece If it feels alright Don't come over here And piss on my gate Save it, just keep it Off my wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave My wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave My wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave My wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave Keep it off my wave 03. Fell On Black Days
Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time, now I'm doing time 'Cause I fell on black days I fell on black days Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now Well, whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down Search light soul they say but I can't see it in the night I'm only faking when I get it right, when I get it right 'Cause I fell on black days I fell on black days How would I know That this could be my fate How would I know That this could be my fate So what you wanted to see good has made you blind And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly Hands are for shaking, no, not tying, no, not tying I sure don't mind a change, I sure don't mind a change Yeah, I sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change I sure don't mind a change 'Cause I fell on black days I fell on black days How would I know That this could be my fate How would I know That this could be my fate How would I know That this could be my fate How would I know That this could be my fate I sure don't mind a change 04. Mailman
Hello don't you know me? I'm the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see I've seen how you give it and now I want you to receive I'm sure that you would do the same for me 'Cause I know I'm headed for the bottom I know I'm headed for the bottom I know I'm headed for the bottom But I'm riding you all the way Yeah I'm riding you all the way I'm riding, yeah For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face For all that reminds me which is my place For all of the times when you made me disappear This time I'm sure you will know that I'm here 'Cause I know I'm headed for the bottom I know I'm headed for the bottom I know I'm headed for the bottom But I'm riding you all the way Yeah I'm riding you all the way I'm riding you all the way I'm riding you all the way Riding, riding all the way My place was beneath you but now I am above And now I send you a message of love Through a simple reminder of what you won't see A future so holy without me I know I'm headed for the bottom I know I'm headed for the bottom I know I'm headed for the But I'm riding you all the way Yeah I'm riding you all the way I'm riding you all the way Oh I'm riding you, yes I'm riding you Oh I'm riding you, yes I'm riding you Oh I'm riding you all the way 05. Superunknown
If this isn't what you see
It doesn't make you blind If this doesn't make you feel It doesn't mean you've died where the river's high, where the river's high If you don't want to be seen Well you don't have to hide And if you don't want to believe You don't have to try to feel alive Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown First it steals your mind and then it steals your If this doesn't make you free It doesn't mean you're tied If this doesn't take you down It doesn't mean you're high If this doesn't make you smile Yeah you don't have to cry If this isn't making sense Then it doesn't make it lies Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown First it steals your mind and then it steals your soul Get yourself afraid Get yourself alone Get yourself contained Get yourself controlled, controlled Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown Alive in the superunknown First it steals your mind and then it steals your First it steals your mind and then it steals your First it steals your mind and then it steals your soul 06. Head Down
We see you laugh
We see you dance We take that away Every day We see you cry We turn your hear Then we slap your face We see you try We see you fail Some things never change We hear you cry We hear you wail We steal that smile from your face Bow down to live Your Life Head down, hide that smile Head high got to smile Head high like a song you like 07. Black Hole Sun
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black, the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun, won't you come? And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come? Won't you come? Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind, tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth, I pray to keep Heaven send Hell away No one sings like you anymore Hang my head, drown my fear Till you all just disappear Black hole sun, won't you come? And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come? Won't you come? Black hole sun, won't you come? And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come? Won't you come? Black hole sun, won't you come? And wash away the rain Black hole sun, won't you come? Won't you come? 08. Spoonman
I feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman Speak the rhythm on your own Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman Spoonman, come together with your hands Save me, I'm together with your plan Save me, save All my friends are Indians All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman All my friends are skeletons They beat the rhythm with their bones, Spoonman Spoonman, come together with your hands Save me, I'm together with your plan Save me, save, save me, save me, save with your Come on Come on Come on Come on, will I get on? Come on, will I get on? Come on, will I get on? Spoonman, come together with your hands Save me, I'm together with your plan Save me, save, save me with your, with your hand Feel the rhythm with your hands Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman 09. Limo Wreck
Tears of the feeble
Hands of the slaves Skin of the mothers Mouths of the babes Building the towers Belongs to the sky When the whole thing comes crashing down Don't ask me why Don't ask me why Under the shelf The shelf of the sky Two eyes, two suns Too heavenly blinds Swallowing rivers Belongs to the sea When the whole thing washes away Don't run to me, yeah I'll be going down for the rest of the slide While the rest of you harvest the gold And the wreck of you Is the death of you all And the wreck of you Is the break and the fall I'm the wreck of you I'm the death of you all I'm the wreck of you I'm the break and the fall Under the red Break of the lights Heroes in stretches Inch to the site Blowing the pieces Belongs to the wind When the whole thing blows away I won't pretend, no I'll be going down for the rest of the ride While the rest of you harvest the gold And the wreck of you Is the death of you all And the wreck of you Is the break and the fall I'm the wreck of you I'm the death of you all I'm the wreck of you I'm the break and the fall Under the red Under the lights Lies the wreck of you For the rest of your life And the wreck of you Is the death of you all And the wreck of you Is the break and the fall I'm the wreck of you I'm the death of you all I'm the wreck of you I'm the break and the fall While the rest of you harvest the gold While the rest of you harvest the souls 10. The Day I Tried To Live
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head It said seize the day, pull the trigger Drop the blade and watch the rolling heads The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggar's change And gave it to the rich The day I tried to win I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch Singing one more time around Might do it One more time around Might make it One more time around Might do it One more time around The day I tried to live, to live Words you say never seem To live up to the ones inside your head The lives we make never seem To ever get us anywhere but dead The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs Singing one more time around Might do it One more time around Might make it One more time around Might do it One more time around The day I tried to live, the day I tried I woke the same as any other day you know I should have stayed in bed The day I tried to win I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs And I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar Singing one more time around Might do it One more time around Might make it One more time around Might do it One more time around The day I tried to live, live just like you Just like you One more time around One more time around 11. Kickstand
Kickstand, you got loose and I threw up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup My mother says that it's alright My mother says that's the only life So do it right Do it right Come stand me up Come stand me up Come stand me up Oh kickstand, I got saddle made of leather Oh kickstand, I got the words to come together I got the urge to ride your trike, yeah My mother says that's the only life So do it right Do it right Come stand me up Come stand me up Come stand me up Oh kickstand, you got loose and I threw up Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup My mother said that it's alright Do it right Do it right Stand me up Stand me up Stand me up 12. Fresh Tendrils
Long time coming seemed to get me through
Long time coming many served the few Long to taste the shame that bows down before you Long time coming seemed to get me by Long time coming seemed to satisfy You longed to taste the shame that everybody tries Shame, shame throw yourself away Give me little bits of more than I can take If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes Give me little bits of more than I can try Sow yourself away, throw yourself away Long time coming seemed to take me through Long time coming many served the few And long to taste the shame that bows down before you Shame, shame throw yourself away Give me little bits of more than I can take If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes Give me little bits of more than I can try Throw yourself away, sow yourself away Sow yourself away, sow yourself away Sow yourself away, sow yourself away Just throw yourself away, just throw yourself away Just throw yourself away Long time coming Long time coming 13. 4th Of July
Shower in the dark day clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown Naked in the cold sun breathing life like fire I thought I was the only one but that was just a lie 'Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end I thought it was the 4th of July Pale in the flare light the scared light cracks and disappears And leads the scorched ones here And everywhere no one cares the fire is spreading And no one wants to speak about it Down in the hole Jesus tries to crack a smile Beneath another shovel load And I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end I thought it was the 4th of July And I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end I thought it was the 4th of July July, July Now I'm in control now I'm in the fall out Once asleep but now I stand And I still remember your sweet everything Light a Roman candle and hold it in your hand 'Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end I thought it was the 4th of July 'Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end I thought it was the 4th of July, yeah 14. Half
When I hand my love in
I'll be done A handed glove Hides the door Half a chance Half a chance We still Have a chance Mr. Full, Mr. Have Kills Mr. Empty Hand Half a chance Half a chance We still Have a chance 15. Like Suicide
Heard it from another room
Eyes were waking up Just to fall asleep Love's like suicide Dazed out in a garden bed With a broken neck Lays my broken gift Just like suicide And my last ditch Was my last brick Lent to finish her Finish her She lived like a murder How she'd fly so sweetly She lived like a murder But she died just like suicide Bit down on the bullet now I had a taste so sour I had to think of something sweet Love's like suicide Safe outside my gilded cage With an ounce of pain I wield a ton of rage Just like suicide With eyes of blood And bitter blue How I feel for you I feel for you She lived like a murder How she'd fly so sweetly She lived like a murder But she died just like suicide Yeah And my last ditch Was my last brick Lent to finish her Finish her With eyes of blood And bitter blue How I feel for you I feel for you, I feel for you I feel for you I feel Oh, I feel for you She lived like a murder How she'd fly so sweetly She lived like a murder But she died just like suicide 16. She Likes Surprises
Girlie dress and making her best
She makes up her hair for the 90s Dirty shoes and hiding her blues She's dying to lose what she's finding So easy to leave it or take it in stride So easy to read when she's faking her smile She likes surprises, she likes surprises Anything in colorful disguises Lips and thighs abused by our eyes Acting surprised that she likes it Chocolate cream, an amphetamine Torn at the seams, she's crying So easy to leave it or take it in stride So easy to read when she's faking her smile She likes surprises, she likes surprises Anything in colorful disguises She gets a little I guess She gets it more or less She likes surprises Anything in colorful disguises So easy to leave it or take it in stride So easy to read when she's faking her smile She like surprises, she likes surprises Anything in colorful disguises |
