Songs To Burn Your Bridges By

Daddy, she has your eyes
And when she grins you can only realize
The guilt she manifests so deep inside you
That your thin veneer of catechism can no longer hide
The voice you hear, her secret pain
As she digs the shiv into her placid veins

Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted

You slipped into another, forbidden
Took her for the ride, you've ridden
Hoping to let her deep inside your disdain
What was it that drove your feign
Into another's arms, into another's bed
When all the while your young one waits up in dread
What was it? Was it something she did?
What was it? Was it something she said?

Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted

Writhe and burn father you were (6x)

She dances in the moonlight
Collecting drops of the earthy dew
Celebrating her exit
From the benign sense of self she once knew
Raising her heavy glass
(Raising her heavy glass)
Her cup now spills on her skirt
And as she cuts her knees in the dirt
She prays for the hourglass to flip and reverse

Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted

Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted (2x)

Writhe and burn father you were (2x)

Now here I lie in the street
An invitation for you to steal a glance at me
While all the village, it gathers
To watch the vultures devour this decaying matter

Come one, come all, (hey, hey, hey)
Whoever wants a taste of me take it for free (2x)

You wanna, You wanna, You wanna, You wanna
Now everyone can say good night to the bad guy

The children fiend for the spoils
Divide what remains before it sinks in the soil
With a gash below the waste
Out it came like milk for everyone to taste
But now it's curdled and sour
Ripe for your stomach to turn in about an hour

Come one, come all, (hey, hey, hey)
Whoever wants a taste of me take it for free (2x)

You wanna, You wanna, You wanna, You wanna
Now everyone can say good night to the bad guy (2x)

Just for a minute pretend
In this illusion that we were ever friends
Nothing is more expensive
Yet it's been given to you at such a bargain
But now the serum is sour
'Cause I was never here for you to devour

Come one, come all, (hey, hey, hey)
Whoever wants a taste of me take it for free (2x)

You wanna, You wanna, You wanna, You wanna
Now everyone can say good night to the bad guy (2x)

For too long cast aside, stripped of dignity, opportunity
Countless sleepless days in underestimation
But under these anxious, darkening leaves
No word goes unheard
And no deed is without compensation
When the workers come to collect their wages
Now the straw men are swaying in the distance
The have-nots calling in the listless wind
Whispering for retribution
Waiting for some voice to call them
From the bottom where you left them
So onward friends from our battered homes
Forward to the onrush of cast stones, crushed bones
And the gallows

I remember the day when the mojo ran away
You say you're here to back us going down that way
You're the one whose ratting on these cards of plenty
12 has come and none are ready
You're thumb is working on another victory
No telling officer
I've had my card

[Chorus]
Deep tricks and Tivo inculded
Just to tell them all I want to be an air force pilot
Roll it on and roll it on
And don't forget
Your treason for reason you haven't get

Lord had a dream, cash trip
OH NO!
Love is a word
Plus and you're all going up
We'll become quiet and count alone
What's happened to the photograph you must have shown?

[Second Chorus]
Deep tricks and Tivo inculded
Just that right now I want to be an air force pilot
Roll it on and roll it on
And don't forget
Your day jobs for midgets to let them jam

[Bridge]
Why help warning you?
I was warning you
To help warning you
WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

[Outro]
Deep tricks and Tivo included
And roll it on
Deep tricks and Tivo included
And roll it on
Deep tricks and Tivo included
And roll it on
Gave back the picture to her

"You cannot hide now
I'll find you somehow
Together we can find new ways to drown"

"All I really want is
A moment of your time
To grant
To give
To make you one with mine
You'll fill this empty space and
I will
Be your outlet
We'll plant
We'll reap
And meet in cruel descent"

"Together we can find new ways to drown"

"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time"

"All I really want is
Someone to share with me
This treasure
This gift
This unceasing agony
How could you ever turn back now when
Our failure's so complete
So cold
So far
So dark in here with me"

"Together we can find new ways to drown"

"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time
You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your sadness is my reason to forget what lies inside"

There must be something, something else
Yeah, something, something else
Yeah, something, something else
There must be something else than you

"You cannot hide now
I'll find you somehow
Together we can find new ways to drown"

"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time" (2x)

"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your sadness is my reason to forget what lies inside"

Outside you there's a remedy
Inside you is an enemy
This twist (this twist) of irony
Can I say you were ever a friend to me?
(Just like we promised)
And you know it was never a lie
The fallen son that bought our freedom
Is the I, the I that had to die

Outside you there's a remedy
A destiny in identity
Is it the shot heard round the world, or just one more apology?
You wrote us off for so long, so. so long
We burned that bridge instead
And now we've got a song

Oh, yeah
You'd better think again
'Cause it's long overdue
Oh, yeah
And there's so many more of us
Than there are of you

Now I can release you (I can release you)
Apart from anything to your corruption
(We sing this dedication)
As justice comes in many forms
This is no exception
The hero, truthless is lying prostrate
(And this is our redemption)

Outside you there's a remedy
A destiny in identity
Is it the shot heard round the world, or just one more apology?
You wrote us off for so long, so. so long
We burned that bridge instead
And now we've got a song

Oh, yeah
You'd better think again
'Cause it's long overdue
Oh, yeah
And there's so many more of us
Than there are of you

The contract on my head
Isn't worth the paper, isn't worth the pen
Isn't worth the plastic promise
When the units aren't moving
But we know (we know) we know
Our hearts are beyond prices
These words erupting from swollen tonsils
Will devour your clever devices

(These words are my gift to you)
My gift to you, these words
(These words are my gift to you)
My gift to you, these words
(These words are my gift to you)
My gift to you, these words
(These words are my gift to you)
For everything, you put us through

Oh, oh, oh, yeah (2x)

I used to want to change the world
In brotherhood, us two
But now my friend I only want to save it
From you

I bid farewell to those lonely days
Breaking my back for you to siphon my veins
The masters will now return
To the (hands of the slaves)
And we'll spin them reel to reel
So that every single time you hear
This soundtrack of the voiceless
You'll know the end is drawing near
Can I say you were ever a friend to me? No (3x)
Now, you know, now, you know
