it'll never be what it was...
it'll always be what it was...
i lose my breath...
...release my form
i can't get back...
...what it is no more...
...i'm spinnin' out...
i catch my breath...
...regain my form
i count what's left...
...then count no more
apart from me...
...a part no more
a part of me...
...6...2...4...
...i'm thinnin' out...
Addict's Attic
I'm not beautiful
It's not wrong to say
I'm not colorful
At least not today
I'm holding on to none of it
And only feeling pain
I'm holding on to all of it
Drifting far away
It's ok now
I'm not feeling well
I'm so cold today
Oh, what I wouldn't do
To not feel this way
And though I'm cold and numb
It's been so long
Lonely staring walls
Rape my head
I wish it all away now
I wish it all had meaning
And I force myself to want it
Still contemplating feeling feelings
I raise my hands above my head
I can't look back
I'm running
Running scared
Can't get far enough
So, I'll keep running
Alienation
before you preach to me your policy, stop and think
we are not here by ourselves
you just might rethink your beliefs if you could see
we are everybody else
...we are not alone
we expect our things, project our ways, behind demoacracy
entitled, wouldn't you say?
in our chauvinistic ways...we isolate, seperate
look what we've become: an island to the world
...we are not alone
i don't care about where they're from
what lines were drawn or the side they're on
it doesn't matter what skin they don
everyone here's an alien
i couldn't care about where your from
the flag you wave or your native son
there's no such thing as americans
everyone here's an alien
oh, colony...
set us free...
save us from dichotomy...
Beauty
How you hold my hand
How you hold me up
Time after time
How you make me laugh
Even when I'm sad
How I hurt when you cry
You help me achieve
Better versions of me
You're my friend and my lover
You pleasure my mind
You're beauty defined
How you fill me up
How you value me
Time after time
How you picked me
How you grounded me
How I float when you smile
Don't despair when they do
Those things that they do
That make us fell blue
Don't believe what they say
Oh, those things that they say
Cos they can't speak for us
You make me believe
That we can achieve
Anything we can dream to dream
You're my lover
My beautiful lover
You're my best friend
You pleasure my mind
You're beauty defined
You're a beauty
Oh, you're so beautiful
Bringing Up Dogma
i believe in whatever they tell me
they're supposed to take good care of me
so, i believe in whatever they tell me
they said,
"son, just give your life
to this stranger, jesus christ
and repent your sins"
so, a sinner, at the age of three
i got down on my knees
and fit in
"look ma, i fit in!"
"look, now i fit in!"
"i fit in!"
Broken Clocks
I found myself sobbing on the floor
Reflecting on who I was before
A broken heap, naked and ashamed
Of years gone past and choices I had made
And I was so alone the darkness was afraid
And left me there to wallow in my pain
My soul tried to scream
As my throat tried to heave
And all I could do was squeeze myself
Until the pain drew blood on me
And just when I thought I'd sink through the floor
There was your voice saying
"No, there's more..."
More to this, more to life
More to us
More
Then I felt the sun beat down on me
Thawing out the hop that died beneath
And I used your words to get me on my feet
And face the day that faced away from me
Now I call you my friend
The best of them all
You made me big
The smallest of small
Because of you I'm 20 feet tall
And if I believed in a god
I'd sell it my soul
Give it my song
Yes, give it me whole
Just to give me a chance
To make you my own again
I'd give it all for you
By The Way
I wondered how it'd be
If everything that you just said
Had somehow came to be
And the life I've known
Had never been
I pondered for a while
Tried to make sense of it all
The love that you impaired
With careless words you shared
Well, I hope you conscience is clear
By the way
I almost gave you up
By the way
You shouldn't be with me today
You shouldn't be mine, by the way
But since we're together today
Be grateful my mind was changed
Your burden, now is mine
It's nothing you can erase
Out ties, now they unwind
It's nothing I can replace
I hope you found relief
Cos now there's none for me
A life, now is impaired
With careless words you shared
Well, I hope your conscience is clear
Everyday is another day I know
Chasing Rockets
pulled our love from out your pocket
taped it to a rocket
then you lit the fuse
blast off!
i only think to grab on
pulling limb from socket
but can't think why i want it anymore
oh, now i'm floating
and i can still hear you gloating
from 62 miles away
how you got your way
and weren't you proud of yourself
now i can feel it building
pressure in my feeling organ
shame you couldn't be here
to watch my heart explode
i'm in dire straights here
cos i won't let it go
i need to let it go
now i'm falling
back onto the growing earth
and i'm just glowing
smile from ear to ear
i stretch my arms out
like a falling angel
free from fairy tales
free from all i fear
oh, now i'm floating
salted and soaking
with not a cloud in the sky
i wondered if i had died
and that would be fine
i'm riding this current freely
where ever it wants to take me
i don't care
i'm free
i freed me of you
i just let you go
i'm done chasing rockets
i just let you go
Damage
look at the damage we've done
parading around in our lust
neglecting the needs of our young
so the rich can get richer
look at the wholes that we've dug
as deep and as dark as our glut
we barter with daughters and sons
cos oil is thicker than blood
when will we repent for the sins of our fathers?
or is the burden left at the feet of our daughters?
when will we be free...
of this greasy machine
we habitually feed
as it constantly runs over us?
look at the wars that we wage
most of them fueled by our faith
we wager our children today
on notions from an ignorant age
so i scream out to the machine
mercy, mercy
mercy for the planet we're constantly slaying
mercy, mercy
mercy for the unborn youth we're betraying
oh, give us sweet reprieve
...armed with armageddon, we race to our destruction...
Faster
...it takes too long
why does it take so long?
it's all too bloody slow...
faster
better hurry along
if it ain't done in haste
then it's being done wrong
get me faster
gotta quicken the day
if you're not getting faster
then get out of my way
i need...faster
i wanna get there
before i leave
i need a faster way to go...
faster
better keep to the beat
if you can't keep the tempo
then you can't keep with me
moving faster
yeah, no time for romance
love me or leave me
just do it fast as you can
make it faster
faster
can't get me to stop
i won't be content till i'm faster than thought
faster
what compells me ahead?
feels like my life is in the way of my death...
Fate
it could've been a monday instead
i could've been at home in my bed sleeping
dreaming of a life that i just missed
you could've met a man worth meeting
good enough to let you forget me
deserving of a life that i once left
our vow could've been unwritten
another love lost to the spectrum
but it wasn't...
i don't know how we came here
it must be fate
The Garden
there's nothin but blue skies in your eyes
won't you tend my garden, love?
so full of sunshine and surprise
and we're just getting started, love...
see the innocence drip from your face
what was left was taken and replaced
feel my stomach tremble as i quake
my garden....
you were filling holes
i was in your garden
not a soul was told
i was in your garden
i was in the garden
pulling flowers from your bed
i lay down in, uproot your inner sense
in bloom, I leave the room
with you, forever...
i was digging holes
i was in the garden
doing what was told
i was in your garden
i was in the garden
you were filling holes
reaping what you sowed
digging in your soil
i was so alone
Forever My Heart Goes
They will say that all the world is grey
So let the day unfold the same
Well, I embrace the thoughts I make
And you cannot take them away from me
And so, I carry on
Through the depths of the unknown
That has taken me from home
And my favorite TV show
And the sounds
Of the people that I know
Here, forever my heart goes
Will she say that everything has changed
And I should keep the day at bay
Well, I can take away the pain
If I can find that vain again
And I can't believe I've gone
To the depths of the unknown
Will I ever make it home?
To my favorite TV show
And the cast
Of the people that I've stoned
Here, forever my heart goes
For all the things I've known
For the fear of growing old
I could never be alone
If I never make it home
To your smile
And my favorite TV show
There's something you should know
There, forever my heart goes
Get Right (A Ballad of Weight & Retribution)
i've got a pocket full of reckoning
and i can't wait to share it
can you hear that day a beckoning?
oh, you will soon, i swear it
thought i would crumble and fall
you really don't know me at all
doesn't matter how long it takes
it's coming sooner or later...
the day that we get right
twisted minds secured my omission
was it worth the crooked price of admission?
well, i'm tellin' you we're gonna get straight
and you're not gonna like it...
the day that we get right
In Passing
i've been standin' outside your door
for quite some time
can't get the strength to go inside
i never thought i'd see you like that
so, here i am
standing out here
with my hands hiding my eyes
well, maybe i'm a fool
or just naive
or maybe my love for you
has crippled me
or maybe i'm just scared
of the unknown
what life is with you gone
please stay with me
cos if you go now
it wouldn't be fair
if you go now
there'd be nothing more to share
please don't go
what does it mean, this time that we spend?
why do we keep breaking hearts we have mended?
why must we make what we cannot maintain?
our human relations are hardly humane
It's You
i've been thinkin' 'bout my life lately, angie
how have i made it through?
countless times i survived my intentions
but left all else abused
yeah, there's nothing to confess
you know that i'm a mess
yet still, it's me you choose
i'm nothing more than a wreck in progress
how am i still any use?
it's you ...
it's you, and only you
short of you, it's devine intervention
but god knows, i've cut him loose
there can be only one explanation
for how i'm still any use
how could i ever need you more?
how could i've been so blind before?
what would i ever leave you for?
you're everything that's good
Kutting Cord
what can i do?
what can i say?
can’t bloody move
without you crowding the way
how can you live with yourself acting like this?
well you should be shamed
but you think it’s okay
still, not your fucking dog
not your dress up doll
and i’m not you…
hey, could you gimmie a break?
get the hell out my face
let me make my own way
i’m so tired and sick
of what you have to say
i’m not a pawn for you to play
you lie to keep your promises
your arrogance: a pestilence …
i sever
(what can i do?)
your tether
(what can i do?)
seems like all my choices are up to...
(kutting cord)
what makes you think my choices are up to...
(kutting cord)
how could you think my choices are up to you?!
i don’t want to be you!
Love My Crazy
come love, give us closure
i've lost all composure
i've been pacing for days
lost in leg propulsion
intractable convulsions
you're my one saving grace
relax rigidity
and mute this symphony
that drives me mad
i'm crazy for you, love
cos you love me and my crazy
come, hush the storm in me
i'm soaked in anarchy
it's always calm when you're near
my damned insanities
you'd be right to leave
but you're still here
i'm crazy for you, love
cos you love me and my crazy
it's a funny sensation
i finally got something right
how are we still relation?
have you completely gone and lost your mind?
well, it happens to me all the time
Motions Steady
can never focus
a prisoner to the song
it's always playing
can't ever turn it off
and it breeds
anxiety
i can't control it
this energy inside
it's so explosive
whenever i excite
legs will pace
hands will shake
short of convulsive
i lose all sense of time
so where i'm noticed
i bottle it inside
it manifests
your prejudice
gotta keep my motions steady
can't let you see the freak within
don't want to brave another wave
of your degrading grins
now all that i do
is keep still for you, see?
always with my motions steady
My Iceberg
it's easy to abandon it
but impossible to leave
i'm careful not to damage it
in my efforts to appease
and keep it's disadvantages
hidden where i...
...i can show you just enough
the rest i'll keep below
maybe it's anatomy
or maybe just my soul
and the more that i submerge
the less i have to know
reasons why i love myself
reasons why i don't
i can bed it but it seldom rests
when it rests it seldom sleeps
it keeps me out in front of them
but always at my feet
and after it's been nice and fed
it leaves me on my knees
can't be with me, without you
all by myself but not alone
how i heed
how i feed
how i please
how i need
my iceberg
Oxymoron
i'm feelin' like an oxymoron
i cannot put my words to page
a nudist with all of his clothes on
a mental studder on display
how come i can't get it out?
the words that i want you to know
what am i tryin' to say?
can't find the arrows for my bow
you've been invited
inside of my head
i'm feelin' like an oxymoron
a prison missing all its gates
a clueless gumshoe for an ex con
a deaf, mute singer on a stage
what will i say to them now?
can we not talk about the show?
would they see me again
if i walked out and headed home?
i'd really like to stay
if i could tell my brain
that everything's ok here
understand, most days
i can cope
but right now?
i just gotta go...
i hope you liked it
inside of my head
Perfect
i see your face with every urgent breath
any place, any time
i lose my soul with every glance i get
i know your scent like i know mine
i rape your thoughts, take your dignity
i undress you with my eyes
i think of ways for you to pleasure me
where no one would here your cries
i crushed the voice of sanity
and hid you deep inside of me
i'd choke and angel for her wings
to keep you hidden here with me
i'd shake the world for you to see
there's no one else for you but me
if, not together, we would be
i'd take the life from you and me
and i'll impose my will
till you will see
we are one
in time
you will feel
how i feel
perfect love
Political Gangster
well, i guess it's no surprise
every word is touched with lies
should've gauged your charming smile
as cunning, cold, and vile
you offer protection
from their point of view
but what's really needed
is protection from you
political gangster
fed with the rich
till your pockets got fat
political gangster
promising this
delivering that
There Is A Fire
i'm in a fight with flawless
so, i've already lost
but i'll stay inside the ring
no matter the cost
i keep chasing perfect
all haste and no rest
i persue with no relent
an impossible get
i've been searching for something
to justify my leave
something to reach in
and pull me from these flames
how they burn...
there is a fire
out of control
it's benign desire
but it's burnin' out my soul
...it's burnin' out my soul...
Thief
stop, thief
give it back to me
what's supposed to be
what you stole from me
return it
what you took from him
what you've slighted him
make it right again
...and give it back
then you can go to hell
enough's enough
give it back to us
what was meant for us
what you've robbed us of
give it back
then get away from here
get away from us
get away from me
get away from him
you go straight to hell
The Wait
Isn't that the quarter that you stole
To pay back the dollar that you owe
Wasn't that your smile in the firing line
One step further, fall behind
And you wait
Now the one consoled has just let you know
That all your lies are gone
And now there's something wrong
Fall from flight
Say goodnight
And you almost lost your mind
No will to fight
Can't stand your sight
You know that mirrors never lie
Isn't that your money that you smoked
And one more story that you told
And you wait
Now you're feeling high, but you left behind
All the ones you love
But still you laugh it up
Fall from flight
Say goodnight
And you almost lost your life
No will to fight
Can't stand your sight
You know that mirrors never lie
We only wait in vain
What A Mess
i got a feelin' that my gut reaction
is bringin' you down
and expectations of your pity social
are starting to drown
i can tell by your changing face
you're wanting to shout
and my lack of sympathetic notion
is gutting you now...
my god, friend
what a mess you're in
and how it comforts you
it's a fine fix
you've put me in
and it tears me in two
thought my words would be of someone else
someone you once knew
well, i could see how his familiar face
had you confused
my god, dear
why'd you bring me here
with so much to lose
y'all's a house of cards
on a tinder box
and you're lighting fuses
with a little truth
and a little pause
we can see affect
if we can see the cause
don't get it confused
you are what you choose
you're the one responsible for you
my god, friend
what a fuckin' mess
and there's no helping you...
