Raging Under The Influence
Lyrics
One Thousand Two Hundred And Sixty Day
Now a great sign appeared in heaven;
A women clothed with the sun,
With the moon under her feet,
And on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor,
And in pain to give birth.
And another sign appeared in heaven;
Behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven head,
And ten horns, and seven diadems on his head.
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven,
And threw them to the earth,
And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth,
To devour her Child as soon as it was born.
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.
And her Child was caught up to God and His throne,
Then the women fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God,
That they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angles fought with the dragon,
And the dragon and his angels fought.
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan,
Who deceives the whole world, he was cast to the earth,
And his angels were cast out with him.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now Salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God,
And the power of His Christ have come,
For the accuser of our brethren,
who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
And they did not love their lives to death.
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them!
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!
For the devil has come down to you,
Having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth,
He persecuted the women who gave birth to the male Child.
But the women was given two wings of a great eagle,
That she might fly into the wilderness to her into the wilderness to her place,
Where she is nourished for a time and time, from the presence of the serpent.
So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman,
That he cause her to be carried away by the flood.
But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened it’s mouth,
And swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
And the dragon was enraged with the woman,
And he went to make war with the rest of her offspring,
Who keep the commandments of God,
And have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Bullet Rage
It was a horrible sight to see. My life flashed before me.
The way that he had his hand on that trigger.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so scared.
My mind started playing tricks on me.
He’s eyes were red, and nose was flared.
No one saw what happened.
It was just a bullet rage.
None of them knew what was flappen’,
It was just a bullet rage.
Like that they were all empty.
It was just a bullet rage.
My mind is playing tricks on me…
I told everyone in town,
They never believed me
That something that went down.
They’ll believe if they see.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s red, all red now.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s red, all red, it’s red, all red.
Their technicolor cough was reasonable.
Florescent colors hit the floor.
Kids screaming, “now it’s believable.”
Adult’s crying in the midst of the door.
If seeing is believing, they know it’s real.
All of em’ are grieving. at least they can feel..
I told everyone in town,
Now they believe me.
That something went down
They believe what they seen.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s blue and red now.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s blue and red, blue and red.
Everyone knows what happened.
It was just a bullet rage.
Now in their pants their crappin’,
It was just a bullet rage
Today was just another day on the streets.
It was just a bullet rage.
I’m Waiting
Touch me, soothe me,
Let me know its alright.
Free me, cage me,
Whatever makes me laugh.
Feed me, starve me,
Keep me in your vision.
Love me, scare me,
Its never gonna last.
I’m waiting for a better life,
I want the ground to tremble,
I’m waiting for the moment, its gone,
Life won’t be lasting amble.
Scream me, fight me,
Dark as I feel right now.
Shock me, mock me,
Take away my own pride.
Bring me, lose me,
I’ll find my way back soon.
Shake me, break me,
My vision of you, always fried.
I’m waiting forever to let go,
I want it all to end soon,
I can’t stand the love of hate you bring,
Take me up to the moon.
I’m waiting for the moment,
When love and light soothe me life
Sidestreet
There’s a place that I call home,
It’s far away from you,
You’ll never know just why I go there,
But at least I’m happy.
Shot down among a million people,
I’m staying away from the light,
I’m keeping it all under wraps wraps,
But hey at least I’m happy here.
This sidestreet is changing me,
What I once was now is gone,
The dark deception never fooled me,
I think I’m happy as I can be.
All cried out, my tears are dried,
My brain is open to new meaning,
I’m so sick of the everyday encounter,
You shoot down my feelings,
And once there gone,
You shoot down my life.
This sidestreet needs to keep changing me,
What I once was is never what I want again,
The dark deception keeps nagging at my feet,
Wanting me to stumble among the dead.
But maybe I’m not happy.
I realize when I look at their faces,
That I’ll never changed them,
Sidestreet keep changing me,
I realize when I look in their eyes,
That they’ll never give it up,
Sidestreet keep changing me,
I realized today that amongst all else,
I will never ever get what I truly want.
Changing me, framing me,
All else will fade away soon.
Changing them, never happen,
All of them will leave soon.
Goodbye, I hope you learn to deal with the heat.
I heard it’ll feel like an oven.
On my sidestreet I feel some sort-of peace.
I know you’ll soon deal with the heat.
The End Of The Road
I can’t imagine why you don’t feel the same,
Why do you feel like were just in a game.
Under your rock it must be cold,
Hiding should be getting old.
In the distance I see the double-headed ox,
Snooping about like some sort of sly fox.
He’s come out to watch you play,
So why are you running away.
You see his figure in the distance, as your rock begins to disintegrate again,
Far off he asks you “Just where do you thing you have been”.
You think that you don’t have to answer,
That’s what you thought when you had cancer.
You swear that you’ve seen him before.
But not in dreams, but knocking at your door.
You knew whether or not to open up,
Grasping your hand around an empty cup.
Persistence always gets the best of you,
So you knew then what you have to do.
You open the door for the one who’s that fair.
But when you open he’s no longer there.
Searching your scraggly house you look high and low,
Wondering what happened not to long ago,
Soon the walls begin to melt away from their space,
Now all you see is your self-destructed empty place.
In this dark and empty hallway that you’ve appeared in,
You seen something in this place where you’ve never been,
You don’t recognize this creature,
But you now it’s not a preacher.
The eyes seem so familiar, but not ordinary,
The bones are patched to skin, and nose flary,
As the figure crosses your path you cover your eyes,
Hoping that it’s just a friend in disguise.
Now you know who the figure must be,
But how can you tell when you can’t even see,
Before you can even say the name,
Some sound rises from his flame.
“You are the one I blame,
You thought this was a game”
The voice is so familiar but you can’t see anymore,
Now his hand reaches out and guides you to the door,
As your vision is restored your mind is cleared,
Everything is answered and that’s what you feared.
As you pear into and at the figure you recognize that horrid face,
You realize your looking into a mirror and think what a disgrace.
Not Sold In Stores
Nothing like this in the stores was ever found,
When you see what I got, you’ll hit the ground.
You can’t find this in the midst of any old swap meet,
It’ll take you from your couch and sweep you off your feet.
The shock on your face will be more than words,
You’ll be drawn in and ever moving closer towards.
You might even feel a bit scared of this thing I have,
Although after you think about it you’ll probably laugh.
Don’t push or shove your way to the source, there’s enough for all,
There’s enough for the fat, the skinny, the retarded, the homeless and the tall.
Try not to live your life trying to get it, but live life with it,
If Marilyn Manson knew you had it he’d definitely through a fit.
When you feel its power over you, your blood will grow thick,
It’ll drain the empty from you like a hungry stomached tick.
It’ll settle over your mind like a storm,
But it doesn’t come in just that form.
Some will cry, some will beg and some will have joy,
It doesn’t come stronger to a girl or even a boy.
But it’ll change your life, take away the pain,
Giving you hope and everything you can gain.
After you think about it, it’s sort of simple,
Like whether or not to pop an over-pussing pimple.
Your dark black shadow of life will soon leave,
As it overwhelms you and begins to weave.
When it’s all over, said and done,
You’ll want to throw away your gun.
It’ll save you like a twig in the mouth of a dove,
For this thing we all need and I have is called love.
Held Down
I don’t want to be held down anymore,
Why can’t you just let me be free.
It almost seems like its been forever and a day,
Since I last saw you smile at me.
If you say that do not like the way that I am,
Then why have you treated me like your newborn lamb.
If my love is second best.
Then why aren’t I among the rest.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
It’s kinda funny, freedom should never have to feel so bad.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
Why can’t you leave me before I become overwhelmed and mad.
I don’t want to be held down anymore,
Its almost as clear as today, or is it cloudy today,
Here comes the storm again, no it’s just you,
I’m overwhelmed here, my heart feels like clay.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
It’s kinda funny, freedom should never have to feel so bad.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
Why can’t you leave me before I become overwhelmed and mad?
You told me never to be afraid, but now it seems like I’m nothing but frightened.
You have let my life slip away, and now I am nothing, but your petty slave.
I’m trapped, forgetting seems easy when it comes to remembering the love you gave.
I remember when you told me to leave and I wish I would have,
Because now my slavery is at its highest when I get you lave.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
It’s kinda funny, freedom should never have to feel so bad.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
Why can’t you leave me before I become overwhelmed and mad?
What is this life to you?
Interfering
Why are you always there to ignore my cries?
Why are you never there to filter my pride?
Why are you always jumping to your own conclusions?
Why are you always ***ing up my life, you lied.
You told me that you’ll always care,
Then why are you never there?
When I need you, you’re always gone, outside playing.
Spending your precious time blowing out your mind.
Its funny how it’s always getting worse.
There’s something in you that’s gonna keep a grudge,
I’ve never believed in you or respected what you’ve judged.
I’m so sick of this ***, Leave me alone.
There’s not a lot to look forward to,
I guess it’s all downhill from here.
Well at least I’ve pulled through.
And I’ll have to see you.
Again.
Jetstream
Far away I hear them fly.
I wish for the dove’s cry.
I want the touch of red leather,
So I can feel the dove’s feather.
Give me a break,
Let me fly, way out.
Way high, far away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout.
Cry freedom, and I’m gone.
Sweet as the honey you’ve shun.
Up and out is were I’ll float,
Never stopping, like my own boat.
Cut me a break,
Let me glide, far out.
Way high, fly away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout.
I wanna cry out with voice,
Giving the birds one choice.
They’ll get of my way,
Or fly with me all day.
Get me a break,
Let me soar, deep and out.
Way high, out and away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout.
Saving me like an open beak,
I’ll look and turn the other cheek.
Up here is where I’m safe.
Near the Jetstream, is where I mark my place?
Give me a break,
Let me fly, way out.
Way high, far away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout
Sincerely, Your Number One Fan
Dear Jim, how are you, where have you been,
I didn’t see you at the game last night.
You didn’t answer my calls last week; it seems like your ignoring me.
Well I’m gonna send you some letters everyday,
So you can maybe see how much I care. *** man,
You’re the best I hope we can meet sometime soon.
Your fans voted me your number one fan.
I hope you feel the same,
I had this dream last and it was about you and me,
We were playing catch in my backyard.
Then you spent the night and we watched movies all night long,
Oh what a dream! Maybe my dream can come true.
I hope you write back. I’ve been waiting for your letters,
But I guess the mailman is hiding them from me, right?
Why don’t you even answer the phone?
I get so ***ing pissed when you don’t.
I’m scared because I think you hate me,
Tell me I’m wrong, Please! Help Me!
I’m Scared, I need some selfworth!
I think if I don’t get some kinda message from you the I’ll,
I’ll just Explode! Help Me! I’m crazed,
My eyes are Red, my nose is flared and I can’t see.
And my heart is beading hard and bleeding.
Help me! I need you! Please…
I need something.
Sincerely,
Your Number One Fan
Wreck
Here I am, nervous, anxious and ready to be built up.
I’ve been shot down so many times, I need to fill my cup.
Something has to change or I won’t make it out alive,
I’m ready to take the first step and ready to dive.
Put me somewhere where no one goes and I’ll die,
I have to face the music and let go of living the lie.
I need this more that you could understand,
I don’t want my life to keep staying bland.
I’m gonna step on out, come into the light.
I want for everyone to hear me shout out.
I’ll sing it to everyone who comes near,
My story won’t be one of hate and fear.
I’m gonna come out, out of my shell,
And live life the way I’ve as wanted.
Here I am, dumbfounded, stupefied and wondering why it won’t peel,
I’ve been shot down so many times, but I can’t change the way they feel.
I want something better than this nervous wreck,
I wanna hold something up like my own neck.
Put me somewhere where no one goes and I’ll still die,
I have to face the music but it’s always gonna be a lie.
You don’t care how I feel or what I want,
All you care for is what you like and flaunt.
I’m gonna step on out, come into the light.
I want for anyone to hear me shout out.
I’ll sing it to anyone who comes near,
My story won’t be one of hate and fear.
I’m gonna come out and yell,
And try to get it in their heads.
You can’t change me, just like I can’t change you,
But don’t you think it would be nice if we could join like bothers.
I can’t make you agree, just like you can’t make me agree.
But don’t you think it would be nice if we could listen to others.
I’m gonna step on out, come into the light.
I want for anyone to hear me shout out.
I’ll sing it to anyone who comes near,
My story won’t be one of hate and fear.
I’m gonna come out and yell,
And try to get it in their heads.
I wanna hold something up like my own neck
But I know that I will always be a nervous wreck.
Last Night I Witnessed A Murder
It was getting late over on the east side of Phoenix,
And I was getting tired and so were my feet,
But I kept on walking trying to get back home,
Maybe then I could get some rest and peace.
I’m halfway there and it’s dark as it can be,
And all these people shouting keep scaring me.
I’m so tired and I just wanna get home so I can take a ***,
But I’m never gonna make it if I don’t pick up the pace a bit.
People keep screaming and car alarms are going off.
Fumes from the warehouses are making me cough.
Maybe I could hurry and catch the late night bus,
But everyone who rides it are people I don’t trust.
I figured I would take the shortcut behind the Taco Bell,
And the more I walk the more I hear some guy yell.
As I walk closer to the sound I can hear a woman crying,
It almost sounds like she is hurting or maybe even dying.
Scared for my safety and the woman’s I crept quietly to the site,
I hid across the street in a bush as my watch said its 11 at night.
So I decided to take action and get this guy away from the girl’s back.
As I sneaked out of the bush I was distracted but I heard a loud crack.
I looked up across the street and saw that the man was gone.
I couldn’t see the girl so I thought that she was also gone.
But as I got closer and closer I could see her on the street.
She was bleeding and she had no shoes on the her feet.
I ran to her side, got down on my knees next to the girl so I could pick her up,
I was gonna take her to a hospital, but I knew that wouldn’t be close enough.
I could see that she wasn’t breathing so I set her down and gave her CPR,
It didn’t work so I ran out in the street and flagged down a dark blue car.
The car pulled over and a man came out,
He saw her body and was about to shout.
He asked me what I thought had killed her,
And I noticed that his voice sounded familiar.
Then I noticed that his hands were bloody red,
I told him she must have been hit on the head.
His clothes were drenched in blood and I knew he killed her,
So I beat him up and knocked his white-trash ass outer.
I called up the police and they rushed on over as fast as they could,
When they pulled up they threw the white-trash’s ass against the wood.
The next day they thanked me for helping, but my mind was gone, going far and further,
Because I soon came to the realization that last night I witnessed a murder.
Fallen Cold And Dead
We all have choices to make, but some are up for adoption,
Opened up in my mind, I made another mistake again.
You be the judge, tell me what I did wrong,
Don’t just tell that I’ve gone and screwed up things again.
My initial attempt to confide in your love has failed,
My heart’s waiting for a response to this self-desire.
The communication has fallen cold and dead,
And all I’m looking for is the single-coiled wire.
I’ve never got it right, I’m always supposed to be wrong,
What may come to my sinner’s heart when I look around,
I’m always looking, but I never can find what’s there,
But maybe I should keep my face off the ground.
Without your opinion I don’t think I can go on,
What might I do without a question arriving,
The communication has fallen cold and dead,
And all I’m looking for is a life that’s thriving.
Before you lay your head at my feet I offer my forgiveness,
We all have choices to make, maybe yours was wrong,
But before you let your head slam against the floor, listen.
I want you to know that I’ve wandered far and long.
While you lie your head down I move my foot away,
I can’t except this from you, you’re the same as me,
The communication had fallen cold and dead,
But now I know of the lesson that you see.
Infidelity
I hope you’ll remember all the times we were together,
Because it’s going to end very soon.
I’m sorry it had to come to this,
But all things end at some point in time.
Nobody means for these things to happen,
They just work there way through life,
Some may never have to deal with the pain or obsession,
But I’m just one of them that does.
Here’s a reminder to keep your chin up,
It’s not your fault I feel the way I feel.
I couldn’t stop you if the tables were turned,
I wouldn’t call it unfaithfulness,
It’s passion, it’s love, it’s lust,
It’s what you never wanted to happen, but things change,
You will too, eventually you’ll find someone else,
Remember I’ll always love you,
But I don’t just love you, I’m sorry,
I know its wrong, but look what you’ve done,
You ripped me limb from limb everyday
Just so you could go out and spend time alone.
Now you’ll get all the time you need,
Just now you won’t have to come home to a so called bastard.
I’ve burned a hole through our loquacious conversations of hate,
Now the screaming will stop.
There’s a lot to be thankful for, you’re beautiful,
You have everything going for you, just not me,
Spend sometime by yourself for a while
And then you’ll get off just fine without me.
You’re already used to that, so it’s nothing new,
It’s not that I don’t care,
I just need someone else, everyone gets aggravated,
This is my way of dealing with it,
I’m sorry, I’m hurting, I need to get away.
I’m not going to call it dishonor, or cheating, or trickery, or anything of that sort.
Let’s just call it infidelity, a breach of trust,
The end of something bad,
To get away from mixed up problems,
No solution but this will be successful.
Sorry, but everyone changes,
We’re not the love struck kids we used to be, goodbye.
Listen To The Sirens
You’ve left the scene, it’s going to get a lot worse,
You choose not to worry, it hasn’t been the first.
But they’ll hunt you down like a hunter and the hunted,
You’ll be another statistic in a book who’s always confronted.
Press on and on, try to keep up your insignificance,
Embrace the consequences like your own ignorance.
How funny it is to the one’s who see you run bye,
Your just another jerk that’s shortly escaped their eye
So go on, try to get away, it’s amusing, maybe you’ll be on TV,
Your lagging behind now, I guess its not nearly that easy.
Listen to the sirens, it’s nearly noon,
Listen to the sirens, there coming soon.
Listen to the sirens, a good way to end the day,
Listen to the sirens, they come to take you away.
Your gonna be a star, everyone will know you,
Fame will live on, But only for a week or two.
The kids will forget you just like there old toys,
You won’t be talked about amongst the girls or boys.
You won’t even be brought up in a sentence about violence,
And the only thing your ever gonna hear is your own silence.
Cry if you want to, you’ll have forever to yourself,
Just a toilet, a bed, a sink and nothing on the shelf.
So go on, try to get away, it’s funny, we’ll a laugh at you,
You’ll be put away and never get anything that’s new.
Listen to the sirens, it’s nearly noon,
Listen to the sirens, there coming soon.
Listen to the sirens, a good way to end the day,
Listen to the sirens, they come to take you away.
Listen to the sirens, they come to take you away.
MEGO (My Eyes Glaze Over)
Beauty is only skin deep,
I tell my self over and over,
While here I lay down to sleep,
I’ll dream of a four-leaf clover.
I want you to notice me,
Let me come near you,
Be a part of this serenity,
Remember how the wind blew.
You always called me a creep,
As my eyes glaze over,
While I lay down here to sleep,
I dream of a four-leaf clover.
Reproducing images and sounds in my head,
Save me before I walk amongst the dead.
This new mental state I’m appearing in scares me,
A heavy downpour backs the glaze, which is all I see.
Tend like the shepherd to the sheep,
Here I am with my eyes all glazed over,
I wish I wouldn’t have laid down to sleep,
In my dreams I can’t find a four-leaf clover.
Everything has changed here and me,
I can’t find any way back to you,
Where can I find this sweet serenity,
I’ve forgotten how the wind blew.
Now I know why you called me a creep,
My eyes are far past glazed over,
Why did I ever lay down here to sleep,
Help me find this four-leaf clover.
I’m sensing some new kind of delusions in my head,
It maybe too late to save me from walking with the dead.
Hallucinations keep flowing out and they scare me,
Fluorescent and vibrant distorted colors are all I see.
I’m crawling here, nothing left to reap,
I can’t remember when my eyes glazed over,
Never again will I get to lie down to sleep,
I don’t even know of any four-leaf clover.
You are never going to understand me,
I don’t why I ever even wanted you,
I certainly haven’t found my sweet serenity,
Who ever knew how the wind blew.
Here I can start to call myself a creep,
Who knows if my eyes are glazed over,
I can’t tell if I’ve drifting into to sleep,
Who care’s about the four-leaf clover.
This feels just like its always been, not just in my head,
The way it goes, I’ve always been walking with the dead.
So overwhelmed I don’t think anything could scare me,
How much worse can it get is all that I try to see.
Overcast
Gray threatening skies are above,
Waiting for the moment to strike,
They cover the sky like a glove,
And ride my patience like a bike.
Dark lowering skies are overhead,
Waiting for the moment to break,
They cover the sky to wed.
And search me for something to take.
They try to grab a hold to my soul,
So they can feel the power of defeat.
Emptying me so I’m without a goal.
And strip me from my head to my feet.
They move all around me and across the skies, looking for a crease.
And when something good inside of me dies, it brings them peace.
Then they try to lap up my defiance,
So they can feel the power of winning.
If they are awarded to my compliance.
There frown will turn to a nasty grinning.
They move all around me and across the skies, trying to get a lease.
And when something good inside of me dies, it brings them peace.
Lattice
Everything comes together, when you want it to,
Make me whole, put me together, and make me new.
I’m stuck on to you, don’t ever let me go,
Don’t ever let me down, don’t ever say no.
We are two, soon to be combined into only one,
But separate we will be, until the deed is done.
Together we will be, not a single fragment apart,
You’ll remain with me and forever in my heart.
Nothing can break us apart, especially tonight,
So let your guard down and turn off the light.
Together we can make a new.
Lattice, I’m in love with you.
Not until the day that I die,
Will the glimmer in my eye,
Pass like a pebble in water,
In the stream I bought her.
You own me just like a house pet,
I’ll give you all that you wanna get.
And hope, never will we disagree,
As we begin our own pedigree.
You make it all come true, ever little desire,
You know that only you can light my fire.
And if by chance, we are ever regretful,
We’ll renew our love like a raging bull.
Nothing will ever separate us from each other,
Especially on the day that you become a mother.
I love you and I couldn’t ever tell you enough,
But it’ll come in handy when things get rough.
I’ll take every burden that lies on you head,
And comfort you when we lie down in bed.
Together we can produce a new.
My Lattice, I’m so in love with you.
Even on the downcast day that I die,
I will keep this glimmer in my eye,
And I’ll always remember the joy,
Just as if I were lovestruck little boy.
It’ll be the best life anyone could want,
There will be not a single thing to taunt
You pull on my heart like a lever,
I will love you now and forever.
Not a worry in the world, we’ll live together,
You’ll lift up my soul like wind to a feather.
My dear Lattice, I’m so in love with you,
And I’m so very glad that I created you.
Evocation
Something has come to take me away,
It’s time for me to move on,
And I can’t remain here another day.
It’s so difficult to change the path I’m on,
But maybe there’s a better place,
With a big house and big empty lawn.
I can’t fight against their rapture,
I’m moving out, moving on,
I’m their one, their only capture.
They’re calling me from another place,
They want to make me into a walking disgrace.
I’ll miss you all, goodbye, wish me well,
Pray for me in the place that I’ll dwell.
Soon you’ll all see the things I speak of,
Just run away, as far as you can,
They’ll smack you down with their dueling glove.
When they come they’ll have a lot to say,
They’ll make into whatever they want,
As if to mold you out of a piece of clay.
It’ll be an experience you’ll never forget,
You’ll never make it out alive.
Try to escape and they’ll catch you in their net.
They’re going to take you to another place,
Just like me, you’ll be a walking disgrace.
Say goodbye, wish your friends well,
You’ll be alone in the place you’ll dwell.
You’ll soon be drawn into their light,
They’ll taunt you, evoke you,
And scare all throughout the night.
You’ll feel the metamorphosis take place,
You will have no more control,
You’ll just another figure, a life of waste.
I happened to me, it’ll happen to you,
Goodbye, I wish you well,
They’ll destroy me and destroy you too.
Coyote
I find you in the midst of all the dark and emptiness of this world,
The goat of all the others has finally but surely caught up to you,
What can I say but I hope you learn, what can I do to make you change,
I’m getting tired of looking up and seeing you standing there,
No expression on your face, just an ugly glare in you eyes,
I know your plotting out your next move and that’s all you do,
You wait for your pray to come near, and when close enough you pounce.
Your so eager to take control,
Where are you in the midst of this,
Have you a plot for yourself,
Are you there for the pleasure of sadness.
The goat is in your head, let it go,
Let something inside, leave it behind,
Shoot out the hellion, look another way,
Let something change, live differently.
Here you are again, lying around, waiting another one to come along,
Nothing has stopped you before, so what so bad now, right.
Get your head out of the clouds, you are no better than the ones you cheat,
Step away from the *** that’s always messed around with you before,
You get so mad so easily, and so unable to put an end to your boredom,
Its always the same and you never quit living in your destruction,
Someday something will come along that you don’t know how to deal with.
Your so desirous to have control,
Where are you in the hub of this,
Have you a design for yourself,
Are you there for the delight of melancholy.
What is it going to take to disarm you,
What is it going to take to disarm you,
What is it going to take to change you,
What is it going to take to change.
System Of Social Disorder
In this system of social disorder,
Everything’s screwed up again.
In this system of social torment,
I’m always looking for a friend.
It’s such a disturbance to live now, in this day and age,
Dying in the streets, and it’s like we’re all locked in a cage.
I can’t look at newspaper without seeing another death,
Or hearing about some guy who is addicted to meth.
I’m so tired of watching TV and seeing somebody bleed,
Violence, teen sex and shooting drugs aren’t what we need.
What happened to all the one’s that generated love,
We gave them a stab in the back, a push and a shove.
We’re so lost and we have no idea just where to go,
And the rate of teenage pregnancy will never get low.
In this system of social disorder,
Everything’s screwed up again.
In this system of social torment,
I’m always looking for a friend.
In this crazy ass land that we live in today, it’s all changing,
The cities keep adding more people, pollution and ranging.
You can’t walk down the street without seeing some trash,
And all the poor kids are searching around for a little cash.
It’s too bad it has to be this way, but does it have to be,
Can’t we bring in a new generation, make it one that’s free.
I guess it’s stupid to wish for something that’s greater,
Cuz we’ll just screw up things again and put it off till later.
If we could all just realize all the crap that we’re stirring up,
Maybe someday we’ll be able to live thinking it’s a half-full cup.
In this system of social disorder,
Everything’s screwed up again.
In this system of social torment,
I’m only looking for a friend.
Calm Down
You shout it out a million times,
I understood the first time,
Don’t bring it up again,
You are making me go insane,
I can’t take much more of this.
What else do you want me to do,
I’m having a psychotic episode,
Please, just shut up, I heard the first time.
Why do you keep screaming,
Everyone is fed up with this.
Will you just stop screaming already,
Don’t shout anymore, please.
Stop your scaring me.
Leave me alone.
Don’t touch me.
Ahhhhh.
Stop it, Get away.
The next time you do that I’ll call the police.
Leave me alone.
Can we just calm down here for a moment.
Now what the hell is going on,
Stop the screaming and hitting.
What are you gonna do take off your belt,
I told I’m sorry now leave me alone.
Ahhhhh.
Your totally insane, stop it.
I hate you,
Calm down.
Calm down.
Lysergic
I’m so caught up in this moment,
I hope that it never ends,
Who cares about the morning after,
I wanna be happy right now.
What do they know,
I’ll be okay.
I could stay in this moment forever.
The feeling is the most comforting thing.
It’s the best way to go.
I’m so crazy, I can’t control myself,
But oh well who need control.
I’m so dizzy,
It’s okay though I’m having fun,
No one can stop me,
I’ll be okay.
I’m getting so much attention,
What could go wrong,
Who cares about any consequences,
I wanna be here right now,
Nothings gonna stop me,
I’ll be okay.
Whoa, I think I took to much,
But it’s okay, nothing will happen to me,
It’s the best feeling ever.
I think I am going to puke,
Oh lord what have I done,
Where can I get some help,
I’m so stupid,
I feel like I’m gonna pass out,
What’s happening,
It’s so dark,
I can’t see.
Oh my god, my head is dropping,
What is going on,
Where am I going,
It’s so cold,
I can’t feel anything,
It’s so cold,
I’m floating above myself,
Where am I going,
Oh my god, I’m falling,
No, I’m sorry,
I’m so sorry,
I’m dead.
Night Of The Black Moon
Everything turns back, slipping away into nothing,
It’s all running away, hiding away from the light.
When everything turns black you begin to think of nothing.
It’s all gone away, and you’re left with no sight.
As pitied as the bride and groom
Here comes the night of the black moon,
It’s going on, just like how you’ve grown old.
And there’s nothing you can do escape its hold.
It’s seems like all you can ask yourself is why me,
You just want to get away, run far from here.
And you keep on wondering just how bad could it be,
Will you learn when you having nothing but a tear.
As sorrowed as you are right now in this room.
You dwell under the night of the black moon,
It’s going on, just like how you’ve grown old.
And there’s nothing you can do escape its hold.
You wonder when will your mind turn to stone,
When are you going to figure out what you are mourning.
As you think of ways to get out, you let out a moan,
Fear may last through the night, but peace comes in the morning
As crazed and scared as you were in your room.
Say farewell to the night of the black moon,
It’s gone on, just like how you’ve grown old.
It’s wondered off and you’ve broken the mold.
Whispers In A Jail Cell
They want to guide you to their sense of correction.
They frighten you as you hear them from every direction,
They just want to give the new ones a good long scare,
And they’ll shriek out into the night sky a haunted beware.
You can cover you head in your hands as much as you like,
Or if you want you can shout out to them as if you had a Mic.
Whatever you decide to do, don’t let them see your imperfection,
Or they’ll stalk you as much as they would to their own recollection.
This is when you want to let out a hard yell,
As you hear the striking of the midnight bell,
You wonder just how much worse could it be in hell,
As you try to shut out the whispers in your jail cell.
This is when you have to let out a hard yell,
When you hear the striking of the midnight bell,
You wonder just how much worse could it be in hell,
As you try to shut out the whispers in your jail cell.
Birds
No one can hear you sing,
They’ve blocked you out,
Your voice doesn’t carry on,
The wind carries violence.
They’ve taken what’s yours,
And shunned you away.
Sometimes you begin to cry,
But then you remember,
They don’t control your eyes.
They’ve polluted your land,
And moved on and out,
They come and go like the breeze,
You can’t fly away now,
They’ve destroyed your wings,
And shot you down,
As soon as you start to cry,
You try to remember,
They can’t control your eyes.
Communication is gone,
They can’t hear you,
They’ve found a new happiness,
It’s filled with distorted beings,
Who destroy your home,
And cover your old land,
Sometimes they’ll watch you die,
But it’s happened so much,
That they no longer care.
They’ve killed you everyday,
And just as the dust settles,
More and more will come,
They’ll look and soon will find,
And you can’t do anything,
You cannot can stop them,
All that helps you feel better,
Is that you know that someday,
They will all have to die.
Buried Beneath The Wreckage
Have you already forgotten what you have done, what a real class act you are,
Letting it all take place just the way you wanted, while you sit anxiously in your car.
I bet your bet your going to walk away with a smile on your face, proving satisfaction,
Everyone else with have no idea just what to do, but for you it’s just another action.
How soon will it be before you have no where to go, when’s it gonna blow up in your face,
It’s funny how it all makes perfect sense to you, that’s why you are just a freakish disgrace.
It’s not any better or any worse if you would have done it all with just a pair of knifes.
But there is something else that is buried beneath the wreckage besides all their lives.
And one day when you figure out just what you have done, it will already be to late,
You’ll die a horrible death and your not going to ascend, no you won’t see any gate.
Nothing can save you soul, just like nothing could have saved them from you.
I hope you enjoy burning as much as the fire and you’re always going to feel blue.
Lyrics
One Thousand Two Hundred And Sixty Day
Now a great sign appeared in heaven;
A women clothed with the sun,
With the moon under her feet,
And on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor,
And in pain to give birth.
And another sign appeared in heaven;
Behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven head,
And ten horns, and seven diadems on his head.
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven,
And threw them to the earth,
And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth,
To devour her Child as soon as it was born.
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.
And her Child was caught up to God and His throne,
Then the women fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God,
That they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angles fought with the dragon,
And the dragon and his angels fought.
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan,
Who deceives the whole world, he was cast to the earth,
And his angels were cast out with him.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now Salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God,
And the power of His Christ have come,
For the accuser of our brethren,
who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
And they did not love their lives to death.
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them!
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!
For the devil has come down to you,
Having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth,
He persecuted the women who gave birth to the male Child.
But the women was given two wings of a great eagle,
That she might fly into the wilderness to her into the wilderness to her place,
Where she is nourished for a time and time, from the presence of the serpent.
So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman,
That he cause her to be carried away by the flood.
But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened it’s mouth,
And swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
And the dragon was enraged with the woman,
And he went to make war with the rest of her offspring,
Who keep the commandments of God,
And have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Bullet Rage
It was a horrible sight to see. My life flashed before me.
The way that he had his hand on that trigger.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so scared.
My mind started playing tricks on me.
He’s eyes were red, and nose was flared.
No one saw what happened.
It was just a bullet rage.
None of them knew what was flappen’,
It was just a bullet rage.
Like that they were all empty.
It was just a bullet rage.
My mind is playing tricks on me…
I told everyone in town,
They never believed me
That something that went down.
They’ll believe if they see.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s red, all red now.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s red, all red, it’s red, all red.
Their technicolor cough was reasonable.
Florescent colors hit the floor.
Kids screaming, “now it’s believable.”
Adult’s crying in the midst of the door.
If seeing is believing, they know it’s real.
All of em’ are grieving. at least they can feel..
I told everyone in town,
Now they believe me.
That something went down
They believe what they seen.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s blue and red now.
The dead,
The lifeless,
It’s blue and red, blue and red.
Everyone knows what happened.
It was just a bullet rage.
Now in their pants their crappin’,
It was just a bullet rage
Today was just another day on the streets.
It was just a bullet rage.
I’m Waiting
Touch me, soothe me,
Let me know its alright.
Free me, cage me,
Whatever makes me laugh.
Feed me, starve me,
Keep me in your vision.
Love me, scare me,
Its never gonna last.
I’m waiting for a better life,
I want the ground to tremble,
I’m waiting for the moment, its gone,
Life won’t be lasting amble.
Scream me, fight me,
Dark as I feel right now.
Shock me, mock me,
Take away my own pride.
Bring me, lose me,
I’ll find my way back soon.
Shake me, break me,
My vision of you, always fried.
I’m waiting forever to let go,
I want it all to end soon,
I can’t stand the love of hate you bring,
Take me up to the moon.
I’m waiting for the moment,
When love and light soothe me life
Sidestreet
There’s a place that I call home,
It’s far away from you,
You’ll never know just why I go there,
But at least I’m happy.
Shot down among a million people,
I’m staying away from the light,
I’m keeping it all under wraps wraps,
But hey at least I’m happy here.
This sidestreet is changing me,
What I once was now is gone,
The dark deception never fooled me,
I think I’m happy as I can be.
All cried out, my tears are dried,
My brain is open to new meaning,
I’m so sick of the everyday encounter,
You shoot down my feelings,
And once there gone,
You shoot down my life.
This sidestreet needs to keep changing me,
What I once was is never what I want again,
The dark deception keeps nagging at my feet,
Wanting me to stumble among the dead.
But maybe I’m not happy.
I realize when I look at their faces,
That I’ll never changed them,
Sidestreet keep changing me,
I realize when I look in their eyes,
That they’ll never give it up,
Sidestreet keep changing me,
I realized today that amongst all else,
I will never ever get what I truly want.
Changing me, framing me,
All else will fade away soon.
Changing them, never happen,
All of them will leave soon.
Goodbye, I hope you learn to deal with the heat.
I heard it’ll feel like an oven.
On my sidestreet I feel some sort-of peace.
I know you’ll soon deal with the heat.
The End Of The Road
I can’t imagine why you don’t feel the same,
Why do you feel like were just in a game.
Under your rock it must be cold,
Hiding should be getting old.
In the distance I see the double-headed ox,
Snooping about like some sort of sly fox.
He’s come out to watch you play,
So why are you running away.
You see his figure in the distance, as your rock begins to disintegrate again,
Far off he asks you “Just where do you thing you have been”.
You think that you don’t have to answer,
That’s what you thought when you had cancer.
You swear that you’ve seen him before.
But not in dreams, but knocking at your door.
You knew whether or not to open up,
Grasping your hand around an empty cup.
Persistence always gets the best of you,
So you knew then what you have to do.
You open the door for the one who’s that fair.
But when you open he’s no longer there.
Searching your scraggly house you look high and low,
Wondering what happened not to long ago,
Soon the walls begin to melt away from their space,
Now all you see is your self-destructed empty place.
In this dark and empty hallway that you’ve appeared in,
You seen something in this place where you’ve never been,
You don’t recognize this creature,
But you now it’s not a preacher.
The eyes seem so familiar, but not ordinary,
The bones are patched to skin, and nose flary,
As the figure crosses your path you cover your eyes,
Hoping that it’s just a friend in disguise.
Now you know who the figure must be,
But how can you tell when you can’t even see,
Before you can even say the name,
Some sound rises from his flame.
“You are the one I blame,
You thought this was a game”
The voice is so familiar but you can’t see anymore,
Now his hand reaches out and guides you to the door,
As your vision is restored your mind is cleared,
Everything is answered and that’s what you feared.
As you pear into and at the figure you recognize that horrid face,
You realize your looking into a mirror and think what a disgrace.
Not Sold In Stores
Nothing like this in the stores was ever found,
When you see what I got, you’ll hit the ground.
You can’t find this in the midst of any old swap meet,
It’ll take you from your couch and sweep you off your feet.
The shock on your face will be more than words,
You’ll be drawn in and ever moving closer towards.
You might even feel a bit scared of this thing I have,
Although after you think about it you’ll probably laugh.
Don’t push or shove your way to the source, there’s enough for all,
There’s enough for the fat, the skinny, the retarded, the homeless and the tall.
Try not to live your life trying to get it, but live life with it,
If Marilyn Manson knew you had it he’d definitely through a fit.
When you feel its power over you, your blood will grow thick,
It’ll drain the empty from you like a hungry stomached tick.
It’ll settle over your mind like a storm,
But it doesn’t come in just that form.
Some will cry, some will beg and some will have joy,
It doesn’t come stronger to a girl or even a boy.
But it’ll change your life, take away the pain,
Giving you hope and everything you can gain.
After you think about it, it’s sort of simple,
Like whether or not to pop an over-pussing pimple.
Your dark black shadow of life will soon leave,
As it overwhelms you and begins to weave.
When it’s all over, said and done,
You’ll want to throw away your gun.
It’ll save you like a twig in the mouth of a dove,
For this thing we all need and I have is called love.
Held Down
I don’t want to be held down anymore,
Why can’t you just let me be free.
It almost seems like its been forever and a day,
Since I last saw you smile at me.
If you say that do not like the way that I am,
Then why have you treated me like your newborn lamb.
If my love is second best.
Then why aren’t I among the rest.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
It’s kinda funny, freedom should never have to feel so bad.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
Why can’t you leave me before I become overwhelmed and mad.
I don’t want to be held down anymore,
Its almost as clear as today, or is it cloudy today,
Here comes the storm again, no it’s just you,
I’m overwhelmed here, my heart feels like clay.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
It’s kinda funny, freedom should never have to feel so bad.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
Why can’t you leave me before I become overwhelmed and mad?
You told me never to be afraid, but now it seems like I’m nothing but frightened.
You have let my life slip away, and now I am nothing, but your petty slave.
I’m trapped, forgetting seems easy when it comes to remembering the love you gave.
I remember when you told me to leave and I wish I would have,
Because now my slavery is at its highest when I get you lave.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
It’s kinda funny, freedom should never have to feel so bad.
I don’t wanna be held down by you anymore,
Why can’t you leave me before I become overwhelmed and mad?
What is this life to you?
Interfering
Why are you always there to ignore my cries?
Why are you never there to filter my pride?
Why are you always jumping to your own conclusions?
Why are you always ***ing up my life, you lied.
You told me that you’ll always care,
Then why are you never there?
When I need you, you’re always gone, outside playing.
Spending your precious time blowing out your mind.
Its funny how it’s always getting worse.
There’s something in you that’s gonna keep a grudge,
I’ve never believed in you or respected what you’ve judged.
I’m so sick of this ***, Leave me alone.
There’s not a lot to look forward to,
I guess it’s all downhill from here.
Well at least I’ve pulled through.
And I’ll have to see you.
Again.
Jetstream
Far away I hear them fly.
I wish for the dove’s cry.
I want the touch of red leather,
So I can feel the dove’s feather.
Give me a break,
Let me fly, way out.
Way high, far away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout.
Cry freedom, and I’m gone.
Sweet as the honey you’ve shun.
Up and out is were I’ll float,
Never stopping, like my own boat.
Cut me a break,
Let me glide, far out.
Way high, fly away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout.
I wanna cry out with voice,
Giving the birds one choice.
They’ll get of my way,
Or fly with me all day.
Get me a break,
Let me soar, deep and out.
Way high, out and away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout.
Saving me like an open beak,
I’ll look and turn the other cheek.
Up here is where I’m safe.
Near the Jetstream, is where I mark my place?
Give me a break,
Let me fly, way out.
Way high, far away.
Like a Jetstream, I wanna shout
Sincerely, Your Number One Fan
Dear Jim, how are you, where have you been,
I didn’t see you at the game last night.
You didn’t answer my calls last week; it seems like your ignoring me.
Well I’m gonna send you some letters everyday,
So you can maybe see how much I care. *** man,
You’re the best I hope we can meet sometime soon.
Your fans voted me your number one fan.
I hope you feel the same,
I had this dream last and it was about you and me,
We were playing catch in my backyard.
Then you spent the night and we watched movies all night long,
Oh what a dream! Maybe my dream can come true.
I hope you write back. I’ve been waiting for your letters,
But I guess the mailman is hiding them from me, right?
Why don’t you even answer the phone?
I get so ***ing pissed when you don’t.
I’m scared because I think you hate me,
Tell me I’m wrong, Please! Help Me!
I’m Scared, I need some selfworth!
I think if I don’t get some kinda message from you the I’ll,
I’ll just Explode! Help Me! I’m crazed,
My eyes are Red, my nose is flared and I can’t see.
And my heart is beading hard and bleeding.
Help me! I need you! Please…
I need something.
Sincerely,
Your Number One Fan
Wreck
Here I am, nervous, anxious and ready to be built up.
I’ve been shot down so many times, I need to fill my cup.
Something has to change or I won’t make it out alive,
I’m ready to take the first step and ready to dive.
Put me somewhere where no one goes and I’ll die,
I have to face the music and let go of living the lie.
I need this more that you could understand,
I don’t want my life to keep staying bland.
I’m gonna step on out, come into the light.
I want for everyone to hear me shout out.
I’ll sing it to everyone who comes near,
My story won’t be one of hate and fear.
I’m gonna come out, out of my shell,
And live life the way I’ve as wanted.
Here I am, dumbfounded, stupefied and wondering why it won’t peel,
I’ve been shot down so many times, but I can’t change the way they feel.
I want something better than this nervous wreck,
I wanna hold something up like my own neck.
Put me somewhere where no one goes and I’ll still die,
I have to face the music but it’s always gonna be a lie.
You don’t care how I feel or what I want,
All you care for is what you like and flaunt.
I’m gonna step on out, come into the light.
I want for anyone to hear me shout out.
I’ll sing it to anyone who comes near,
My story won’t be one of hate and fear.
I’m gonna come out and yell,
And try to get it in their heads.
You can’t change me, just like I can’t change you,
But don’t you think it would be nice if we could join like bothers.
I can’t make you agree, just like you can’t make me agree.
But don’t you think it would be nice if we could listen to others.
I’m gonna step on out, come into the light.
I want for anyone to hear me shout out.
I’ll sing it to anyone who comes near,
My story won’t be one of hate and fear.
I’m gonna come out and yell,
And try to get it in their heads.
I wanna hold something up like my own neck
But I know that I will always be a nervous wreck.
Last Night I Witnessed A Murder
It was getting late over on the east side of Phoenix,
And I was getting tired and so were my feet,
But I kept on walking trying to get back home,
Maybe then I could get some rest and peace.
I’m halfway there and it’s dark as it can be,
And all these people shouting keep scaring me.
I’m so tired and I just wanna get home so I can take a ***,
But I’m never gonna make it if I don’t pick up the pace a bit.
People keep screaming and car alarms are going off.
Fumes from the warehouses are making me cough.
Maybe I could hurry and catch the late night bus,
But everyone who rides it are people I don’t trust.
I figured I would take the shortcut behind the Taco Bell,
And the more I walk the more I hear some guy yell.
As I walk closer to the sound I can hear a woman crying,
It almost sounds like she is hurting or maybe even dying.
Scared for my safety and the woman’s I crept quietly to the site,
I hid across the street in a bush as my watch said its 11 at night.
So I decided to take action and get this guy away from the girl’s back.
As I sneaked out of the bush I was distracted but I heard a loud crack.
I looked up across the street and saw that the man was gone.
I couldn’t see the girl so I thought that she was also gone.
But as I got closer and closer I could see her on the street.
She was bleeding and she had no shoes on the her feet.
I ran to her side, got down on my knees next to the girl so I could pick her up,
I was gonna take her to a hospital, but I knew that wouldn’t be close enough.
I could see that she wasn’t breathing so I set her down and gave her CPR,
It didn’t work so I ran out in the street and flagged down a dark blue car.
The car pulled over and a man came out,
He saw her body and was about to shout.
He asked me what I thought had killed her,
And I noticed that his voice sounded familiar.
Then I noticed that his hands were bloody red,
I told him she must have been hit on the head.
His clothes were drenched in blood and I knew he killed her,
So I beat him up and knocked his white-trash ass outer.
I called up the police and they rushed on over as fast as they could,
When they pulled up they threw the white-trash’s ass against the wood.
The next day they thanked me for helping, but my mind was gone, going far and further,
Because I soon came to the realization that last night I witnessed a murder.
Fallen Cold And Dead
We all have choices to make, but some are up for adoption,
Opened up in my mind, I made another mistake again.
You be the judge, tell me what I did wrong,
Don’t just tell that I’ve gone and screwed up things again.
My initial attempt to confide in your love has failed,
My heart’s waiting for a response to this self-desire.
The communication has fallen cold and dead,
And all I’m looking for is the single-coiled wire.
I’ve never got it right, I’m always supposed to be wrong,
What may come to my sinner’s heart when I look around,
I’m always looking, but I never can find what’s there,
But maybe I should keep my face off the ground.
Without your opinion I don’t think I can go on,
What might I do without a question arriving,
The communication has fallen cold and dead,
And all I’m looking for is a life that’s thriving.
Before you lay your head at my feet I offer my forgiveness,
We all have choices to make, maybe yours was wrong,
But before you let your head slam against the floor, listen.
I want you to know that I’ve wandered far and long.
While you lie your head down I move my foot away,
I can’t except this from you, you’re the same as me,
The communication had fallen cold and dead,
But now I know of the lesson that you see.
Infidelity
I hope you’ll remember all the times we were together,
Because it’s going to end very soon.
I’m sorry it had to come to this,
But all things end at some point in time.
Nobody means for these things to happen,
They just work there way through life,
Some may never have to deal with the pain or obsession,
But I’m just one of them that does.
Here’s a reminder to keep your chin up,
It’s not your fault I feel the way I feel.
I couldn’t stop you if the tables were turned,
I wouldn’t call it unfaithfulness,
It’s passion, it’s love, it’s lust,
It’s what you never wanted to happen, but things change,
You will too, eventually you’ll find someone else,
Remember I’ll always love you,
But I don’t just love you, I’m sorry,
I know its wrong, but look what you’ve done,
You ripped me limb from limb everyday
Just so you could go out and spend time alone.
Now you’ll get all the time you need,
Just now you won’t have to come home to a so called bastard.
I’ve burned a hole through our loquacious conversations of hate,
Now the screaming will stop.
There’s a lot to be thankful for, you’re beautiful,
You have everything going for you, just not me,
Spend sometime by yourself for a while
And then you’ll get off just fine without me.
You’re already used to that, so it’s nothing new,
It’s not that I don’t care,
I just need someone else, everyone gets aggravated,
This is my way of dealing with it,
I’m sorry, I’m hurting, I need to get away.
I’m not going to call it dishonor, or cheating, or trickery, or anything of that sort.
Let’s just call it infidelity, a breach of trust,
The end of something bad,
To get away from mixed up problems,
No solution but this will be successful.
Sorry, but everyone changes,
We’re not the love struck kids we used to be, goodbye.
Listen To The Sirens
You’ve left the scene, it’s going to get a lot worse,
You choose not to worry, it hasn’t been the first.
But they’ll hunt you down like a hunter and the hunted,
You’ll be another statistic in a book who’s always confronted.
Press on and on, try to keep up your insignificance,
Embrace the consequences like your own ignorance.
How funny it is to the one’s who see you run bye,
Your just another jerk that’s shortly escaped their eye
So go on, try to get away, it’s amusing, maybe you’ll be on TV,
Your lagging behind now, I guess its not nearly that easy.
Listen to the sirens, it’s nearly noon,
Listen to the sirens, there coming soon.
Listen to the sirens, a good way to end the day,
Listen to the sirens, they come to take you away.
Your gonna be a star, everyone will know you,
Fame will live on, But only for a week or two.
The kids will forget you just like there old toys,
You won’t be talked about amongst the girls or boys.
You won’t even be brought up in a sentence about violence,
And the only thing your ever gonna hear is your own silence.
Cry if you want to, you’ll have forever to yourself,
Just a toilet, a bed, a sink and nothing on the shelf.
So go on, try to get away, it’s funny, we’ll a laugh at you,
You’ll be put away and never get anything that’s new.
Listen to the sirens, it’s nearly noon,
Listen to the sirens, there coming soon.
Listen to the sirens, a good way to end the day,
Listen to the sirens, they come to take you away.
Listen to the sirens, they come to take you away.
MEGO (My Eyes Glaze Over)
Beauty is only skin deep,
I tell my self over and over,
While here I lay down to sleep,
I’ll dream of a four-leaf clover.
I want you to notice me,
Let me come near you,
Be a part of this serenity,
Remember how the wind blew.
You always called me a creep,
As my eyes glaze over,
While I lay down here to sleep,
I dream of a four-leaf clover.
Reproducing images and sounds in my head,
Save me before I walk amongst the dead.
This new mental state I’m appearing in scares me,
A heavy downpour backs the glaze, which is all I see.
Tend like the shepherd to the sheep,
Here I am with my eyes all glazed over,
I wish I wouldn’t have laid down to sleep,
In my dreams I can’t find a four-leaf clover.
Everything has changed here and me,
I can’t find any way back to you,
Where can I find this sweet serenity,
I’ve forgotten how the wind blew.
Now I know why you called me a creep,
My eyes are far past glazed over,
Why did I ever lay down here to sleep,
Help me find this four-leaf clover.
I’m sensing some new kind of delusions in my head,
It maybe too late to save me from walking with the dead.
Hallucinations keep flowing out and they scare me,
Fluorescent and vibrant distorted colors are all I see.
I’m crawling here, nothing left to reap,
I can’t remember when my eyes glazed over,
Never again will I get to lie down to sleep,
I don’t even know of any four-leaf clover.
You are never going to understand me,
I don’t why I ever even wanted you,
I certainly haven’t found my sweet serenity,
Who ever knew how the wind blew.
Here I can start to call myself a creep,
Who knows if my eyes are glazed over,
I can’t tell if I’ve drifting into to sleep,
Who care’s about the four-leaf clover.
This feels just like its always been, not just in my head,
The way it goes, I’ve always been walking with the dead.
So overwhelmed I don’t think anything could scare me,
How much worse can it get is all that I try to see.
Overcast
Gray threatening skies are above,
Waiting for the moment to strike,
They cover the sky like a glove,
And ride my patience like a bike.
Dark lowering skies are overhead,
Waiting for the moment to break,
They cover the sky to wed.
And search me for something to take.
They try to grab a hold to my soul,
So they can feel the power of defeat.
Emptying me so I’m without a goal.
And strip me from my head to my feet.
They move all around me and across the skies, looking for a crease.
And when something good inside of me dies, it brings them peace.
Then they try to lap up my defiance,
So they can feel the power of winning.
If they are awarded to my compliance.
There frown will turn to a nasty grinning.
They move all around me and across the skies, trying to get a lease.
And when something good inside of me dies, it brings them peace.
Lattice
Everything comes together, when you want it to,
Make me whole, put me together, and make me new.
I’m stuck on to you, don’t ever let me go,
Don’t ever let me down, don’t ever say no.
We are two, soon to be combined into only one,
But separate we will be, until the deed is done.
Together we will be, not a single fragment apart,
You’ll remain with me and forever in my heart.
Nothing can break us apart, especially tonight,
So let your guard down and turn off the light.
Together we can make a new.
Lattice, I’m in love with you.
Not until the day that I die,
Will the glimmer in my eye,
Pass like a pebble in water,
In the stream I bought her.
You own me just like a house pet,
I’ll give you all that you wanna get.
And hope, never will we disagree,
As we begin our own pedigree.
You make it all come true, ever little desire,
You know that only you can light my fire.
And if by chance, we are ever regretful,
We’ll renew our love like a raging bull.
Nothing will ever separate us from each other,
Especially on the day that you become a mother.
I love you and I couldn’t ever tell you enough,
But it’ll come in handy when things get rough.
I’ll take every burden that lies on you head,
And comfort you when we lie down in bed.
Together we can produce a new.
My Lattice, I’m so in love with you.
Even on the downcast day that I die,
I will keep this glimmer in my eye,
And I’ll always remember the joy,
Just as if I were lovestruck little boy.
It’ll be the best life anyone could want,
There will be not a single thing to taunt
You pull on my heart like a lever,
I will love you now and forever.
Not a worry in the world, we’ll live together,
You’ll lift up my soul like wind to a feather.
My dear Lattice, I’m so in love with you,
And I’m so very glad that I created you.
Evocation
Something has come to take me away,
It’s time for me to move on,
And I can’t remain here another day.
It’s so difficult to change the path I’m on,
But maybe there’s a better place,
With a big house and big empty lawn.
I can’t fight against their rapture,
I’m moving out, moving on,
I’m their one, their only capture.
They’re calling me from another place,
They want to make me into a walking disgrace.
I’ll miss you all, goodbye, wish me well,
Pray for me in the place that I’ll dwell.
Soon you’ll all see the things I speak of,
Just run away, as far as you can,
They’ll smack you down with their dueling glove.
When they come they’ll have a lot to say,
They’ll make into whatever they want,
As if to mold you out of a piece of clay.
It’ll be an experience you’ll never forget,
You’ll never make it out alive.
Try to escape and they’ll catch you in their net.
They’re going to take you to another place,
Just like me, you’ll be a walking disgrace.
Say goodbye, wish your friends well,
You’ll be alone in the place you’ll dwell.
You’ll soon be drawn into their light,
They’ll taunt you, evoke you,
And scare all throughout the night.
You’ll feel the metamorphosis take place,
You will have no more control,
You’ll just another figure, a life of waste.
I happened to me, it’ll happen to you,
Goodbye, I wish you well,
They’ll destroy me and destroy you too.
Coyote
I find you in the midst of all the dark and emptiness of this world,
The goat of all the others has finally but surely caught up to you,
What can I say but I hope you learn, what can I do to make you change,
I’m getting tired of looking up and seeing you standing there,
No expression on your face, just an ugly glare in you eyes,
I know your plotting out your next move and that’s all you do,
You wait for your pray to come near, and when close enough you pounce.
Your so eager to take control,
Where are you in the midst of this,
Have you a plot for yourself,
Are you there for the pleasure of sadness.
The goat is in your head, let it go,
Let something inside, leave it behind,
Shoot out the hellion, look another way,
Let something change, live differently.
Here you are again, lying around, waiting another one to come along,
Nothing has stopped you before, so what so bad now, right.
Get your head out of the clouds, you are no better than the ones you cheat,
Step away from the *** that’s always messed around with you before,
You get so mad so easily, and so unable to put an end to your boredom,
Its always the same and you never quit living in your destruction,
Someday something will come along that you don’t know how to deal with.
Your so desirous to have control,
Where are you in the hub of this,
Have you a design for yourself,
Are you there for the delight of melancholy.
What is it going to take to disarm you,
What is it going to take to disarm you,
What is it going to take to change you,
What is it going to take to change.
System Of Social Disorder
In this system of social disorder,
Everything’s screwed up again.
In this system of social torment,
I’m always looking for a friend.
It’s such a disturbance to live now, in this day and age,
Dying in the streets, and it’s like we’re all locked in a cage.
I can’t look at newspaper without seeing another death,
Or hearing about some guy who is addicted to meth.
I’m so tired of watching TV and seeing somebody bleed,
Violence, teen sex and shooting drugs aren’t what we need.
What happened to all the one’s that generated love,
We gave them a stab in the back, a push and a shove.
We’re so lost and we have no idea just where to go,
And the rate of teenage pregnancy will never get low.
In this system of social disorder,
Everything’s screwed up again.
In this system of social torment,
I’m always looking for a friend.
In this crazy ass land that we live in today, it’s all changing,
The cities keep adding more people, pollution and ranging.
You can’t walk down the street without seeing some trash,
And all the poor kids are searching around for a little cash.
It’s too bad it has to be this way, but does it have to be,
Can’t we bring in a new generation, make it one that’s free.
I guess it’s stupid to wish for something that’s greater,
Cuz we’ll just screw up things again and put it off till later.
If we could all just realize all the crap that we’re stirring up,
Maybe someday we’ll be able to live thinking it’s a half-full cup.
In this system of social disorder,
Everything’s screwed up again.
In this system of social torment,
I’m only looking for a friend.
Calm Down
You shout it out a million times,
I understood the first time,
Don’t bring it up again,
You are making me go insane,
I can’t take much more of this.
What else do you want me to do,
I’m having a psychotic episode,
Please, just shut up, I heard the first time.
Why do you keep screaming,
Everyone is fed up with this.
Will you just stop screaming already,
Don’t shout anymore, please.
Stop your scaring me.
Leave me alone.
Don’t touch me.
Ahhhhh.
Stop it, Get away.
The next time you do that I’ll call the police.
Leave me alone.
Can we just calm down here for a moment.
Now what the hell is going on,
Stop the screaming and hitting.
What are you gonna do take off your belt,
I told I’m sorry now leave me alone.
Ahhhhh.
Your totally insane, stop it.
I hate you,
Calm down.
Calm down.
Lysergic
I’m so caught up in this moment,
I hope that it never ends,
Who cares about the morning after,
I wanna be happy right now.
What do they know,
I’ll be okay.
I could stay in this moment forever.
The feeling is the most comforting thing.
It’s the best way to go.
I’m so crazy, I can’t control myself,
But oh well who need control.
I’m so dizzy,
It’s okay though I’m having fun,
No one can stop me,
I’ll be okay.
I’m getting so much attention,
What could go wrong,
Who cares about any consequences,
I wanna be here right now,
Nothings gonna stop me,
I’ll be okay.
Whoa, I think I took to much,
But it’s okay, nothing will happen to me,
It’s the best feeling ever.
I think I am going to puke,
Oh lord what have I done,
Where can I get some help,
I’m so stupid,
I feel like I’m gonna pass out,
What’s happening,
It’s so dark,
I can’t see.
Oh my god, my head is dropping,
What is going on,
Where am I going,
It’s so cold,
I can’t feel anything,
It’s so cold,
I’m floating above myself,
Where am I going,
Oh my god, I’m falling,
No, I’m sorry,
I’m so sorry,
I’m dead.
Night Of The Black Moon
Everything turns back, slipping away into nothing,
It’s all running away, hiding away from the light.
When everything turns black you begin to think of nothing.
It’s all gone away, and you’re left with no sight.
As pitied as the bride and groom
Here comes the night of the black moon,
It’s going on, just like how you’ve grown old.
And there’s nothing you can do escape its hold.
It’s seems like all you can ask yourself is why me,
You just want to get away, run far from here.
And you keep on wondering just how bad could it be,
Will you learn when you having nothing but a tear.
As sorrowed as you are right now in this room.
You dwell under the night of the black moon,
It’s going on, just like how you’ve grown old.
And there’s nothing you can do escape its hold.
You wonder when will your mind turn to stone,
When are you going to figure out what you are mourning.
As you think of ways to get out, you let out a moan,
Fear may last through the night, but peace comes in the morning
As crazed and scared as you were in your room.
Say farewell to the night of the black moon,
It’s gone on, just like how you’ve grown old.
It’s wondered off and you’ve broken the mold.
Whispers In A Jail Cell
They want to guide you to their sense of correction.
They frighten you as you hear them from every direction,
They just want to give the new ones a good long scare,
And they’ll shriek out into the night sky a haunted beware.
You can cover you head in your hands as much as you like,
Or if you want you can shout out to them as if you had a Mic.
Whatever you decide to do, don’t let them see your imperfection,
Or they’ll stalk you as much as they would to their own recollection.
This is when you want to let out a hard yell,
As you hear the striking of the midnight bell,
You wonder just how much worse could it be in hell,
As you try to shut out the whispers in your jail cell.
This is when you have to let out a hard yell,
When you hear the striking of the midnight bell,
You wonder just how much worse could it be in hell,
As you try to shut out the whispers in your jail cell.
Birds
No one can hear you sing,
They’ve blocked you out,
Your voice doesn’t carry on,
The wind carries violence.
They’ve taken what’s yours,
And shunned you away.
Sometimes you begin to cry,
But then you remember,
They don’t control your eyes.
They’ve polluted your land,
And moved on and out,
They come and go like the breeze,
You can’t fly away now,
They’ve destroyed your wings,
And shot you down,
As soon as you start to cry,
You try to remember,
They can’t control your eyes.
Communication is gone,
They can’t hear you,
They’ve found a new happiness,
It’s filled with distorted beings,
Who destroy your home,
And cover your old land,
Sometimes they’ll watch you die,
But it’s happened so much,
That they no longer care.
They’ve killed you everyday,
And just as the dust settles,
More and more will come,
They’ll look and soon will find,
And you can’t do anything,
You cannot can stop them,
All that helps you feel better,
Is that you know that someday,
They will all have to die.
Buried Beneath The Wreckage
Have you already forgotten what you have done, what a real class act you are,
Letting it all take place just the way you wanted, while you sit anxiously in your car.
I bet your bet your going to walk away with a smile on your face, proving satisfaction,
Everyone else with have no idea just what to do, but for you it’s just another action.
How soon will it be before you have no where to go, when’s it gonna blow up in your face,
It’s funny how it all makes perfect sense to you, that’s why you are just a freakish disgrace.
It’s not any better or any worse if you would have done it all with just a pair of knifes.
But there is something else that is buried beneath the wreckage besides all their lives.
And one day when you figure out just what you have done, it will already be to late,
You’ll die a horrible death and your not going to ascend, no you won’t see any gate.
Nothing can save you soul, just like nothing could have saved them from you.
I hope you enjoy burning as much as the fire and you’re always going to feel blue.
