Hear footsteps creak the floor
The shadows give way Someone outside the door Won't let 'em in Life damaged, gears to grind A rundown, broke machine That steals your peace of mind Before you know, it's gone... (Lay down, lay...) Silence burning, hold your tongue Keep us separate, sullen, dumb Hiding in a darkness under Boiling to the surface, stumble, fall A looking in view, too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in a low life These things I hate in you Also reflect it seems Distortion laced with spite Takes you out of me... Silence burning, hold your tongue Keep us separate, sullen, dumb Hiding in a darkness under Boiling to the surface something Crawling on your skin, discomfort Makes you break and run, stumble, fall A looking in view, too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in a low life It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind A looking in view, too long on the outside Desperate plans make sense in a low life It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind |

Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used And because so, once was mine I walk this maze alone Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free The man's beside himself, man's below himself Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free The man's beside himself, man's below himself Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself |

Choke on me my friend Must to drown these thoughts Purity over rot "Yeah, though I walk through the valley of rape and despair With head high and eyes alert I tread on a plane of many We who are of good nature and intention, But cannot touch on the dark Recesses of memory And pain learned, so come walk With me, feel the pain, And release it..." What the hell am I? Worn eroded pride Saddened 10 miles wide I'm gonna let it slide Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman I can feel the wheel, but I can't steer When my thoughts become my biggest fear Ah, what's the difference, I'll die In this sick world of mine Ahh, |

I can't feel my life
Makes me want to cry How bad i feel inside Like I wanna die Can't explain, won't apologize Re-entry blown, while I was gone tilt of axis changed Destination unknown Wreckage in tow Depression grows I have no home Consequences on accepted role Discontented seeds, loveless garden thrown bitter crop to reap Understanding hard-pressed won Through me you feel the void from where the sad sounds come Free return alone in time to see the sun go black |

What does friend mean to you?
A word so wrongfully abused Are you like me, confused All included but you Alone... The sounds of silence often soothe Shapes and colors shift with mood Pupils widen and change their hue Rapid brown avoid clear blue Why's it have to be this way Be this way Flowers watched through wide brown eyes bloom A child sings an unclaimed tune Innocence spins cold cocoon Grow to see the pain too soon Why's it have to be this way Be this way (5x) "At 7 am on a Tuesday, usual August ... Next week I'll be 28... I'm still young, it'll be me... Off the wall I scrape... you... I can't wake, I gotta wake... To cause this wake, I gotta wake no more... It causes wake, to drown this hate.... To never really stay, never will..... You take your plate... Put me through hell, live, live... Direct your fate... You say I can do it so well... Your expiration date... Fate, date, expiration date... (this was the last time) Hate... And don't fuck with me again... My own clean slate... Don't fuck with me again... Makes your eyes dilate... Makes you shake... Irate..." |

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 |

Dear God, how have you been then? I'm not fine, fuck pretending All of this death your sending Best throw some free heart mending Invite you in my heart, then When done, my sins forgiven? This God of mine relaxes World dies I still pay taxes Can I be as my God am Can you be as God am Can I be as my God am God of all my God am So Lord, I see you grinnin Must be grand always winning How proud are you being able To gather faith from fable Can I be as my God am Can you be as God am Can I be as my God am God of all my God am God am My God am God am God All the respect I'm giving Shared strength acquired by living All blooming life you're feeding Can't hide sick ones you're weeding Can I be as my God am Can you be as God am Can I be as my God am God of all my God am God am God am God am God am |

Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under Cast all them aside who care Empty eyes and dead end stare Don't you know that none are blind To the lie, and you think I don't find what you hide? What in God's name have you done? Stick your arm for some real fun For the horse you've grown much fonder Than for me, that I don't ponder As the hair of one who bit you Smiling bite your own self, too And I think that you're not blind To the ones you left behind I'll be here What in God's name have you done? Stick your arm for some real fun So be yearning all your life Twisting, turning like a knife Now you know the reasons why Can't get high, or you will die Or you'll die What in God's name have you done? Stick your arm for some real fun So your sickness weighs a ton And God's name is smack for some |

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 |
