Louder Than Love

Written by chris cornell

You hide your eyes
But the ugly truth
Just loves to give it away
You gave yourself
If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
You share but money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away


I painted my eyes
Ugly isn't what i want to see
I painted my mind
Ugly isn't what i want to be
I don't mind but the truth
Don't look that good on me
Throw it away


I don't think i really
Understand you
And i can't see why
I'd ever want to
And even if it isn't mine to say
I'll say it anyway
It's ugly


If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
But money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away

Small creature are you
Small creature you are
How quickly you are uncovered
Naked and cold
Maumbling and crying
Knowing everything's been discovered

Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why

Hey mr. shame
Have you got a name
I don't feel like calling you buddy
I don't want to hear your story
I don't want to hear why
And i don't even care if you're sorry

Many secrets have you
Many secrets you have
But it's only a matter of time
Did you finally decide
There's nowhere to hide
And really no reason why

Strong is your body
Strong are your bones
Strong as your bloody lie is uncovered

Small creature are you
Small creature you are
How quickly you are uncovered
Naked and cold
Mumbling and crying
Knowing everything's been discovered

Woke up depressed
I left for work
You have a good day
It's not your fault
I know it hurts


Remember, i love you, love you
Remember, i love you, love you
I love


Woke up depressed
I left for work
You have a good day
It's not my fault
I know it hurts

Get on the snake
With a swarm of motor flys
Get on the snake
Under the cola colored sky


Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean


Get on the snake
Where the metal river bleeds
Get on the snake
Where you never will believe
Hey baby, what's your disease
My hearts bleeding
I'm dying to leave


Get on the snake
Where the water turns to steam
Get on the snake
With a suicide machine


Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean
Hungry and mean...
Hungry and mean...

Hands all over the eastern border
You know what? i think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures


Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, kill your mother
And i love her


Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers


Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words i utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother
And i love her

Watch for vipers and poison snakes
Feeling fingers make no mistake
Grabbing that pull your hair
Stealing everything there, everything


Restless widow in the dark
Careless looks for a spark
Near the trap fate rears it's head
No hesitstion, victim dead
Just from the start it's the end


And it's all the same in the end
It's all the same in the end


Spider moving up your wall
To the ceiling he slowly crawls
Weaves a web above your bed
Egg that cracks falls on your head
And it's all the same
It's all the same
No hesitation, victim dead
Just from the start it's the end


No wrong no right or guilt admission
It's all the same
You've been bitten, you've been bitten
