Silent voices close their minds and hide
Behind their secret gardens Welcome to the age of rage And everybody's high on something Run, see Jack run With all the little piggies in a row They come, They go Does anyone five a damn Who I am or where I'm going I an your favorite some come undone Lost in America Suck your poison, throw your rhymes And wait for something bad to happen Stand behind your middle finger Cool to kill is still in fashion Run, see Jack run With all the little piggies in a row They come, they go Does anyone give a damn Who I am or where I 'm going I am your favorite son come undone Lost in America Here in the wasteland No one's as sane as everyone else And there'll be hell to pay one fine day 02. Wake Up
You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out Too many people put your face in the ground You'll get them back you'll get them Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out And you feel like you're worthless When you're breakin' down No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this You wanna feel like you're livin' Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said I know they get to ya but you got a future Don't let 'em take you done Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again You think an attitude can make you cool Sick and tired of being everyone's fool You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt In one moment your life can change It's easy now to live it down You say you feel like a number now But you're more than a number You can waste your time try to Find someone to blame and let it out But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine 03. Shine
I never really feel quite right
And I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong Everytime I look at you, you seem so alive Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it I'm following every footstep Baby, on your own you take a cautious step Do you gonna give it up? But all I want is for you to shine Shine down on me Shine on this life that's burning out I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right And I act like I don't know why I guess a reaction's all I was looking for, yeah You looked through me, you really knew me Like no one has ever looked before Baby, on your own you take a cautious step Do you wanna give it up? But all I want is for you to shine Shine down on me Shine on this life that's burning out I know, I know, girl you got something Shine, shine it on to me Shine down on me, I want to feel it Shine on this life that's burning out Baby, on your own you take a cautious step Do you wanna give it up? But all I want is for you to shine Shine down on me, just show me something Shine on this life that's burning out You give me something that I never known Shine, shine down on me Shine on this life that's burning out Shine, shine down on me Shine on this life that's burning out 04. Arrow
The clock is ticking on the table in my room
Funny how the time just slips away An ordinary simple man Who's lost a little piece of something Hold my breath and close my eyes Say a little prayer Here we go again hello I didn't see the end and so the story goes How can I be cool? When I always play the fool! I need a shot of love Like an arrow through the heart My mind is open to the page of yesterday Isn't it a crime how love can go I always knew there would come a day When silence played the king of pain So I close my eyes and hold my breath And contemplate a change Here we go again hello I didn't see the end and so the story goes How can I be cool? I always play the fool! I need a shot of love Like an arrow through the heart I have my faith in life I know the truth inside This time I swear it's gonna be better 05. Mary Goes 'Round
You're out the window
Your head is heading south Under a constant cloud That rains on your parade Her wings have broken Your fall from grace No words are spoken She invades your space She comes in every color To paint your sad face upside sown You just can't help but love her Cause everything's better When Mary goes 'round Her eyes are legend An infectious mystery A silent melody That works into the skin You can't imagine You're forever changed In Mary's innocence It's a brand new day She comes in every color To paint your sad face upside down You just can't help but love her 'Cause everything's better When Mary goes 'round 06. Suffocation
I'm waitin' for someone
Just beyond the pale Where everybody's little thing is up for sale An information bonfire I'm twistin' while I wait And now I'm temptin' fate Twenty-four seven Three hundred sixty five Japandemonium is still alive Praying like a sinner Crooked with the blues Lost all there is to lose Can't hear, can't see, can't touch too much temptation Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation I'm fightin' suffocation Yeah, suffocation Traffic of the mind Fast forward and rewind Sometimes your clothes don't seem to fit Frown becomes a smile A man becomes a child The fan is gonna hit the shit Heaven on earth Will cost you what it's worth You'll find it anywhere you dare Yeah, spin the tail donkey I wonder how you sleep Jump up your fight for air Can't hear, can't see, can't touch too much temptation Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation I'm fightin' suffocation I'm hangin' too much rope In the shadows and the smoke Turns blue up in the sky Packin' all my stuff Too much is not enough Who's got the most and then you die Can't hear, can't see, can't feel my frustration Too high to breath, to believe in transformation Can't come, can't go too slow, suffocation Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation, there's too much population Stop the world, I'm jumpin' off, I'm fightin' suffocation Suffocation Suffocation 07. One World Away
Everything is always changing
Even in a world that stays the same Breakin' heavy hearts are shaken All the lonely people live the game He waits for her, she waits for him They wait for anyone And another day begins People rushin' everywhere Never any time to care Us and them and me and you Piling up so much to do All the colors start to fade to grey An ordinary day is just One world away Try to give them what they want You're stuck inside that same old state of grace All we are and all we seem A noisy dream inside a quiet place I wait for her, she waits for him He waits for anyone And another day begins 08. I Don't Want To Be Happy
I married my high school drama queen
She pulled the curtains over me Then it was I now pronounce you a one act fool I've been sitting here wishing for my pot of gold, ship to come on in But the motherlode is just another load of shit that I've been sinking in Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after Oh, yeah, Oh, yeah I don't wanna be happy So what if I'm blue I'm not looking for a change Yeah, I'm keeping my old shoes I don't wanna be happy Yeah, that's why I'm with you Now it's Oprah and Sally and how the world turns And the big time money that I'll never earn When only the sun goes down, the party's over If misery loves company Then, baby you and I were meant to be Tomorrow's turning out to be a beautiful day, yeah Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after I don't wanna be happy So what if I'm blue I'm not looking for a change I'm keeping my old shoes I don't wanna be happy Yeah, that's why I'm with you We settle for poor connection Got it down to imperfection I don't wanna be happy So what if I'm blue I'm not looking for a change I'm keeping my old shoes I don't wanna be happy Yeah, that's why I'm with you I don't wanna be happy So what if I'm blue I'm not looking for a change I'm keeping my old shoes I don't wanna be happy Yeah, that's why I'm with you Oh, so beautiful you 09. Crawl Over Me
Crawlin' is the place you have been,
When you're crawlin' When you crawl... Crawl over me Euphoria is her name, she's so good, She is almost bad, she is almost mad Sweet misery is a game that conceals, The benediction, a cruel conviction Have you ever been a child, Have you ever faked a smile, When you crawl? (crawl over me) You're back on your knees again, Right where you've always been (crawl over me) Where's your pride? You're on the ground Crawl over me Since the alchemy plays the cards that she deals, She lets me see what I want to see Have you ever been afraid, Have you ever lied to get laid, When you crawl? Crawl over me, You're back on your knees again, Right where you've always been (crawl over me) Where's your pride? You're on the ground Crawl over me Have you ever been alone, stare into the great unknown You want to suffer so you can't feel You can't buy so you have to steal Was I ever in your plans? Will I ever understand? Crawl over me, (crawl over me, crawl over me, crawl over me) You're back on your knees again, (crawl over me) Right where you've Always been (crawl over me) Where's your pride? You're on the ground Crawl over me 10. Cheap Little Thrill
Superstar girl in a strange little world,
Exit on a hustle made for two Rock n' roll colossal, makin' such a fuss oh Candy on a million dollar bill I want to know if you got a strange fascination And some time to kill We can blow up the minds of the old congregation For a cheap little thrill Expressionistic space suit, exit on the parachute The planet is a candle in a box I'm swingin' from the grapevine, runnin' through the stop sign Won't you show me yours, I'll show you mine I want to know if you've got a strange fascination And some time to kill We can blow up the minds of the old congregation For a cheap little thrill I want to know if you've got a strange fascination And some time to kill We can blow up the minds of the old congregation For a cheap little thrill I know you've got a strange desperation And some time to kill We can blow up the minds of the old congregation For a cheap little thrill A cheap little thrill, a cheap little thrill I know you've got a strange fascination For a cheap little thrill 11. How Did I Give Myself Away
You walked in like a goddess
I'm good like I don't notice Wrapped up in all the trimmings I stopped my tongue from spilling My inside, inside out So how, how, how is it possible to spy my private eye How, how, how could it be so criminal inside your dirty mind I hid my heart away with my little masquerade How did I give myself away I'm high on Cleopatra Too high to climb the ladder up A slave to circumstances I watched you from a distance I thought you'd never know how far I wanna go How, how, how is it possible to spy my private eye How, how, how could it be so criminal inside your dirty mind I hid my heart away with my little masquerade How did I gibe myself away I never felt so busted My inside, inside out How do you see me now How, how, how is it possible to get my self away How, how, how could it be so criminal to get my self away So, how, how, how is it possible to get my self away How, how, how could it be so criminal to get my self away I hid my heart away with my little masquerade How did I gibe myself away 12. Nothing Like It In The World
Love is a stranger you didn't plan on
Turns you to a victim or a volunteer It can disappear like a rose in a garden There's nothing like it in the world You can swear to God that it's over Tell a clipped heart to play dead There's no way to stop looking over your shoulder There's nothing like it in the world There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before There's nothing like it in the world Somewhere in a smile there's an invitation Calling you back into the dance You can't deny such a high from a beautiful moment There's nothing like it in the world There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before There's nothing like it in the world There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted There's nothhing like a dream where you learn how to fly With no compromise I now for sure, cause I've been there before There's nothing like it in the world |
