She

She would: live, love, laugh, hope lingers on
But just like herself those days are pretty gone
Somehow somebody will spin by
In a carriage with a new found shoe for her, the fit to try
Like a Hollywood love scene
Living happily ever after like a beauty queen
With the man of her dreams
But life ain't so keen this side of the screen
So she wanders until dawn
Mommy's wasted, daddy's gone
Babyface is so amazing
Trying hard to keep the pace she's
Getting everything she needs
With a smile and some good deeds
Driving mad with sweet temptations
While she's waiting for the boy to cry she says:
Now that you're gone
There was no time to say goodbye
Those thoughts will fade away
She'll find no reason to believe
She'll cry and dream of who she'll never be
She'll hide a million memories
She'll get down on her knees
Now the dusk is rising, she cusses at how the hell she could feel so hollow
She whispers to ghosts at night, she's got
All there's to bare for the freaking holler
Illusions fade away she tries to step
In those fields of green she'll never see the color
To her hopes and dreams tonight she tries to hold on tight but she's just...
Barely hanging on
What feels so right just can't be wrong
Babyface is trading faces
Drawing hope with lipstick traces
In a maze of empty streets
Where fate lies between the sheets
Of a bed where she will never, never get to share her love or life she says
Now that you're gone
There was
No time to say goodbye
Those thoughts will fade away
She'll find no reason to believe
She'll cry and dream of who she'll never be
She'll hide a million memories
She'll get down on her knees for you
Denial, only seventeen
Leave a light on, living on forbidden scenes
She'll hide a million memories
She'll get down on her knees
Now that you're gone
No time to say goodbye
Those thoughts will fade away
She'll find no reason to believe
She'll cry and dream of who she'll never be
She'll hide a million memories
She'll get down on her knees for you
Denial, only seventeen
Leave a light on, living on forbidden scenes
She'll hide a million memories
She'll get down on her knees

Kick You Out
03:16
|
|||
Disenchant, you look for romance
You breach the stance at every chance
You come out just for a glance but the priestess wants you to stay
Shadows dance you're locked in a trance
You get caught in the devil's dance
You try to keep a distance but the sirens sing you their way
In that mess you look for excess, so don't go wearing that distress
Don't go where it's none of your business
Don't go swearing that which you can't confess
Bold is the hand in the glove that fits me
Blunt is the blade of the knife that slits me
Condoned and planned is the madness that feeds me
Shut the door, this is none of your business I’m gonna kick you out
Dissed your friends, you fucked up your plans you're standing on a barbed wire fence
You try to keep the balance but the winds they blow you away
Shadows dance, you’re locked in a trance, you get caught in that decadence
You try to keep a distance but the priestess wants you to stay
In that mess you look for excess, so don't go wearing that distress
Don't go where it's none of your business
Don't go swearing that which you can't confess
Bold is the hand in the glove that fits me
Blunt is the blade of the knife that slits me
Condoned and planned is the madness that feeds me
Shut the door, this is none of your business I’m gonna kick you out
Don't go swearing that which you can't confess
Don't go where you got no motherfucking business
Bold is the hand in the glove that fits me
Blunt is the blade of the knife that slits me
Condoned and planned is the madness that feeds me
Shut the door, this is none of your business I’m gonna kick you out

Bed Of Nails
03:35
|

Hear that mellow rhythm playin
See that mellow light
On a bed of nails she's waiting
In the dead of night
Tears are shed and fears awaken
Feel that mellow ride
From her bed the river’s fading
See that bed run dry
My flame is slowly fading
I can't think right
I think I'm going crazy
I'm going dry
Hear that mellow rhythm fading
See the light that dies
On a bed of nails she waited
Wasted all her time
My flame is slowly fading
I can't think right
I think I'm going crazy
Close your eyes, come inside
I'm looking for a hiding place here
Inside your mind
I know I'm going crazy
I'm going dry

Silence
05:02
|

Hey, come inside boy, come inside we'll fly away
Hey, kiss the night boy, cause tonight I'm on my way
Hey, this disguise boy, this disguise I'll wash away
Hey, come inside boy, there's a game I wanna play
Coming through, you know
I spotted some heartache
But for tasting you, you know
I couldn't wait
You kill me with this silence everyday
This "tearing me inside" won't go away
You never even tried, you knew I'd wait
I'm still waiting
Hey, all this time girl, all this time was put to waste
Hey, walked the line girl, walked the line and walked away
Hey, hold the line girl, there's so much have to say
Hey, well this song girl, well this song was the only way
Coming through, you know
I spotted some heartache
But for tasting you, you know
I couldn't wait
You kill me with this silence everyday
This "tearing me inside" won't go away
You never even tried, you knew I'd wait
I'm still waiting
You're telling me the skies will turn to grey
You'll never even try, I know your ways
You'll never see the light till it goes away
I'm still waiting
You kill me with this silence everyday
This "tearing me inside" won't go away
You never even tried, you knew I'd wait
I'm still waiting
You're telling me the skies will turn to grey
You'll never even try, I know your ways
But for replacing you girl
I won't wait

Thank You Good Night
03:52
|

I know your velvet coated sighs
The flowers in your breath
I know I think I should think twice
Yeah but I don't know with which head
Here comes the morning light, here comes another day
You set the stage so high, I never saw the play
You never learned to try, I never learned to wait
I thought you said we might, might
Grab that waist
Cast that bait
Spreading that stare
You've got devil ways
Shallow craze
Thank you good night
I know those moon washed colored nights
Lied on an unmade bed
I know your velvet coated sighs
But now the flowers are all dead
Here comes the morning light, here comes another day
You set your stage so high, I never saw the play
You never learned to try, I never learned to wait
You know you said we might... might
Grab that waist
Cast that bait
Spreading that stare
You've got devil ways
Shallow craze
Thank you good night
Here comes the morning light, here comes another day
I made you feel so high, you ripped my heart away
You don't know what to write, you don't know what to say
Well then just say goodbye, just get the fuck out of my face
Grab that waist
Cast that bait
Spreading that stare
You've got devil ways
Shallow craze
Thank you good night
Your teen movie inspired tactics of crowd pleasing
Remind me of some chick on a pole
Maybe you should try your hand at pro teasing
I'm sure you'd be the perfect fit for the role
Running around in circles kind of makes me dizzy
The catch is always better than the chase
Not that I was trying to make you feel uneasy
Should have stayed the fuck away from you in the first place

Please Remember My Name
02:50
|
|||
Tongue tied and twisted blistered daydream
Through fields of green and shades of gray
Bicycle hill where burn the fig trees
Please remember my name
Went roller coasting in the hay's stream
From mud to snow we waste the day
With anxious stares we filled our suitcase
Please remember my name
Afghans, Indians, Brazilians
Lizards, Crocodiles, Chameleons
Cactuses, Roses, Dandelions
Dentists, Orthodontists, Surgeons
Mammals, Fishes, Birds, Amphibians
Fashions, Governments, Religions
Please remember my name

In The Shadows
03:55
|
|||
Scars begging to heal
Do you feel
Do you feel alone tonight
Got dreams to fulfill
Let me tease you
Let me feed your lust till dawn
In the morning I'll be gone
Am I falling?
I strayed so high
On driving winds
Am I drowning?
This wave I ride
Comes crashing in
Never thought that I'd need you
That I'd bleed you
Never felt a shame so strong
I bit the hand that you reached me
Can you teach me?
Can you teach me right from wrong?
In the shadows I belong
Am I falling?
I tried to hide
What might have been
Am I drowning?
This wave I ride
Comes crashing in
Can you reach her...
Scars begging to feel
Do you feel the love gone wrong
In the shadows I'll be gone

Come Inside
04:38
|

Come inside and screen my eyes
Come inside, come inside
Come inside and burn the skies
Come inside, go inside
Hungry, frail, look to the skies
Come inside, come inside
Come inside this weak disguise
Come inside, come inside
Man made were these growing lies
Go inside, go inside
Swiftly forged from weary eyes
Come inside, go inside
Tell me where the truth resides
One man dies one more time
Drowned in seas of fading cries
One man dies, come inside
And the men who left the shores were cold and frail
Never free of thought since raising from the cradle
And the winds of God would blow upon their sails
I just know I'll be allright
This creeping feeling passed me by
Don't want no more of this tonight
Come inside this weak disguise
Come inside open your mind
Come inside, won't you come inside

Sin
04:02
|
|||
On a roll
Here comes the rambunctious vicious pit bull
Circus comes to town
Waving hands, pious rants, reason stripped down
Secretary, President, Chief of staff
All claiming to be acting on your behalf
Right now what they chose it seems
Is to rest their restless faith on democracy
Or should I say corpocracy, hypocrisy
If I set up a war will you die for me?
Condemnation nation, weapons of mass manipulation
Misinformation, defamation, accusation
Warfare to deceive the whole population
And when the timing is right
They light fires at night
And have the arrogance to determine what's wrong or right
So if you're looking for a scapegoat
I can hold a mirror for you
And I'm only letting you in cause I can't get out
Hey, wait
Stay the night I'll be your soul mate
Let your thoughts caress my skin
I wanna feel you in my bones
No way
Who's that pointing fingers my way
Let him who is without sin
Cast the first stone
Transgress, oppress, for self-interest
Suppress all progress and call it success
Their claims about undying faith
Are just a cover for the horror of the crimes they perpetrate
Feeding ignorance, raping the conscience
Ostentatious, standing proud and pompous
Old whores brag about their scores on a golf course
While some kid dies in their war to feed their 4x4s
Self proclaimed liberators, hall of shame dictators, traitors
Hypocrite masqueraders, haters
Armor-plated loons
Promises of freedom, providers of doom
Brought forth with a clear mandate
To avenge, betray, defy and humiliate
Still you're looking for a scapegoat
I'm the one and I abhor you
And I'm only letting you in cause I can't get out
Hey, wait
Stay the night I'll be your soul mate
Let your thoughts caress my skin
I wanna feel you in my bones
No way
Who's that pointing fingers my way
Let him who is without sin
Cast the first stone
Those eyes that stare at me now
Belie my fate
Those eyes are scaring me now
Carry me out, come take me away
Hey, wait
Stay the night I'll be your soul mate
Let your thoughts caress my skin
I wanna feel you in my bones
No way
Who's that pointing fingers my way
Let him who is without sin
Cast the first stone
