I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go Adrift, I curse this gift And hope you'll never know Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Snapping two by fours Punching holes in dry wall Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Chalking up my dead friends And loved ones long gone I feel the fear take hold Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go Adrift, I curse my gift And hope you never know Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Snapping two by fours Punching holes in dry wall Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Thinking 'bout my dead friends Whose voices ring on |

Don't deny I did you cold
I broke your trust and lied Controlling, selfish, gossip abound Cocaine mouth over mind And I say... I wash my hands, pull the slivers No master plan, I deliver Enigma wrapped in riddle Your life I belittle Dignity I'd steal Now I know how it feels Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking We had our good years too Though apart, you're still in my heart I'd give anything for you And I say... I wash my hands, pull the splinters No master plan, I deliver Enigma wrapped in riddle Your life I belittle Dignity I'd steal Now I know how it feels Often heard, seldom seen Bargain Basement Howard Hughes Hermit phase, a woodshed rage These days headlines are few And I say... I wash my hands, pull the splinters No master plan, I deliver Enigma wrapped in riddle Your life I belittle Dignity I'd steal Now I know how it feels |

Alabama trailer park they call home
Boy standing at attention in the corner his own Terrified, scorpion crawling the wall By the way father, could you please beat me some more? Anger rising up inside him yet again Tell me you got a plan Deaf and blind I'm living with the lepers and You want to hold my hand Cold Alaska, hiding, bundled up tight Stretch aluminum foil 'cross the window at night Mother crying, calling out up the stairs By the way father, do you even care that I'm scared? Chorus Repeat chorus with "Devil rising up inside him yet again" Generation three, solitary, alone By the way father, created hell on my own Chorus |

Homely, thick in mind, never listen
Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision Don't forget this chance only live once Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some Get it all She said I forgive you Don't regret our time You've got to move on love Angel eyes Four years and still I dream Agonize Such beauty not since seen Bow down, piper leading, you were one Hungry, took the prize, then you got dumb Don't live out your life like a sad song Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some Get it all She said I forgive you You must too or die You've got to let me go Angel eyes Four years and still I dream Agonize Such beauty not since seen Angel eyes Your face is all I see Agonize Forever haunting me |

There's no out, downside up for good
No light, reflection understood Had to try, perversion satisfied Insane...so I indulge the beast awhile When hurting yourself feels right And there's nothing familiar in sight Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life... Or seal your doom Cold transparent blue Locked inside a room In solitude There's no flesh, my own ghost awaits Unclean, defiled, hallucinatory state Lust, sloth, not my only sins It's just how, when it's time, on a degradation trip...yeah When hurting yourself feels right Long gone the will to fight Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life... Or seal your doom Cold transparent blue Locked inside a room In solitude Insanity takes you So black it's untrue So black it's untrue |

Give it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods a doghouse you own Give it a name like a howling blue hound Chasing your fears man he's hunting you down Give it a name, get it out of your eye Come from the dockland got your low hangin' high Give it a name, though you call yourself saved She's deep on your bone and it won't go away Slowly all the roles we act out become our identity And in the end we are what we pretend to be Give it a name, get it out of your home Out in your backwoods a doghouse you own Give it a name like a howling blue hound Chasing your fears man he's hunting you down Give it a name, get it out of your eye Come from the dockland got your low hangin' high Give it a name, though you call yourself saved She's deep on your bone and it won't go away Slowly all the roles we act out become our identity And in the end we are what we pretend to be Separating self from dream, harsh reality And though it hurts, embrace the truth and from fear be set free |

Day break, wind is blowing strong
No escape, caught on a reef in the storm Castaway, licking his cracked lips sore Patient, waits, hoping the rats reach the shore...yeah...yeah Yesterday, seems a lifetime now Remembering, those he left and how Out in space, laughing at all below Island stage, plays to his thoughts and ego...yeah...yeah Dusk fall, fading sun, no fire light Memories amplify his plight Gathering, searching for shelter above Feel the sting, choking on hoarded love...yeah...yeah Thin, cold, tired...castaway |

Everything you heard I did and maybe then some ok
Does it make you happy and now is it out of the way? Everything you heard I done and probably then some ok Does it really matter of course I took it all the way What more can I say Locked on--what's the deal? Faded rock star, push and needle You don't know, well that's alright You do your thing, I'll live my life Every word you read is true, baby I won't deny Don't you push me over, I ain't even finished my ride Every word you read is true and maybe that is a lie Strap session closing and I'm a-going out of my mind What more can I say Locked on--what's the deal? Falling rock star, push and needle You don't know, well that's alright You do your thing, I'll live my life Locked on--what's the deal? Faded rock star, push and needle You don't know, well that's alright You do your thing, I'll live my life Every song I wrote I meant what I said at the time Yeah I spent some time looking death right in the eye Every song I wrote I captured a fragment of time Dying a little bit makes you appreciate life Nothing more to say Locked on--what's the deal? Faded rock star, push and needle You don't know, well that's alright You do your thing, I'll live my life Locked on--what's the deal? Falling rock star, push and needle You don't know, well that's alright You do your thing, I'll live my life Locked on Locked on |

All dreams have died, along the way
I coughed up the price, I bought a cage I've had a hell of a time since I went away Don't know when I died, or where to lay down Gone, gone away Yeah gone, gone away God knows I've tried, I'm dyed in pain Strong yet simple drive, the freedom to say I've had a hell of a time since I went away Homing on traces of light, that distance fades Yeah I'm gone, gone away Yeah I'm gone, gone away So they say with time, we slowly heal I caught a flash of your smile, through the fog of a dream I'll have a hell of a time, I clearly see I can't be by your side, I'll see you when I sleep Now you're gone...gone away Yeah you're gone...gone away |
