unknown

You say your job is a pain
It's pulling you down the drain
I think you'd rather complain
Than quit it

He knocks you to the floor
But you go back for more when you could walk out the door
He's a loser honey, leave him

Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short
No safety net

You get what you get
What you settle for

You say your town is too small, you live your life at the mall
You can't have it all until you leave it behind you
And you wait for the day when luck will come home to stay
You never get your way
You go out --you make it

Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short
No safety net

You get what you get
What you settle for

Don't justify your complacency to me
That's not an adventure, that's a job
You say you lack what it takes
You say your face lacks a face
There's a fact you gotta face
They broke the mold when they made ya

Living under a cloud
Living quiet or loud
Another face in the crowd
Or one in ten million

Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short
Win lose or draw
I want it all
Life's so short, life's so short, life's so short, life's to short man

I hate the world that i think hates me
Punch holes in the wall you know that hurts me
Feel dark and cold alone it burns me
Wish someone would come and touch me
Walkin' alone in the prison yard
Seein' eyes that seem to see me so hard
Crawlin' like a snake right back in to my room
Feelin' like a dead man rolling around in my tomb
There's nothin' like findin' someone when you're lonely
Makes you wanna feel so all alone
There's nothin like finding someone when you're lonely
Makes you feel so...
Walk in to a crowded room i start to freeze
Words fall short now turns to what it's time to leave
Never happy, never sad, i can face
Can't stop lookin' i keep walkin' from place to place
There's nothin like finding someone when you're lonely
Makes you wanna be so all alone
There's nothin' like finding someone when you're lonely
Makes you feel so...
Aww, yeah!
Hear no sounds they seem to keep me sane
Knife in eyes and point me at my prey
Reachin' out of my soul it's senseless
Reachin' out of my mind it's useless
I feel the mute frustration when i see your eyes
Mute is a way but isolation iyt hurts to try
I reach out my hand - it turns to stone
I get up, walk out the door, i'm better off alone

Aww man, so little time, so much to deal with
It seems like everything passes me on, turns me off, messes me up, draws me in
Or just plain bums me out
I crack my head and i try to get over it
I stub my toes and i try to pass under it
My existence is like trying to breath in a big rock
I inhale and it hits me hard
I pay guys with guns to protect me from guys with guns
Some man in a suit is tellin' me to drop dead so i can live happily ever after
There's a guy in the mirror whose always in my face
Aw man, sometimes i think i'm goin' insane

Bridge: don't lose your mind when you're running through a mine field
Don't stop rollin' when you're rolling on the real wheel
You've got a lot to lie right in the eye
And not be afraid to see too clearly
Makes no difference if it's night or day
Well take a look around and say...

Chorus: it's wartime (x4)

Yeah you know what i'm talkin' about man
That's exactly what i'm talkin' about
The most important thing is to maintain
Sometimes it's all you can do is just to maintain
Sometimes it's all you can do is go and put a gun to your brain
Sometimes it's all you can do just to maintain
Lookin' out on the streets seein' those screaming rats racin'
Runnin' wild like mindless idiots will run wild
I can't believe the groove they's use
Years, eyes cried, feelings, eyes lie
Talkin' bout changin' but remaining the same
Shameless, meanless, free from blame, man
It's enough to make you wanna do somethin' down right stupid
It's enough to make you wanna do somethin' down right sick

Bridge

Chorus
So now you know what the deal is
The time is wartime, wartime is here, it's all around you
You can't close your eyes and make it go away
You be alive right here, right now, right here, here and now
It's who you're dealing with
............ 24 hours a day warpath reality
It's a full time thing, you gotta deal with it
You hang on, you'll be alright
You gotta keep movin' in a positive forward direction
If you let them, they will destroy you
Don't let them - save yourself
They will not destroy me

Bridge

Chorus

I am the man from a human choke hold
I am the product of your restraint
I watched the years pass by me
Never once did i complain
Never once did i say no
Now i watch myself explode
My body is scarred by age
Now you get to taste my rage
From the wreckage of humiliation
I got my self respect
I pulled myself together
What the hell did you expect
You should see the pain i go through
When i see myself i see you
Everything that you did i do
When i see myself i see you
Rage

I'm just like you
My flesh isn't my flesh
My blood isn't my blood

Hello! say what? oh yeah? too much.
What's new? what's up? i here you're messed up, in trouble, in pain
No need to explain - expectation let you down
See yourself inside - when it gets real do you hide?
Can you face them or do they chase you down
How it could be and how it is - what it should be and what it is
Just another version of the big fat truth
Mind the gap, see the distance - it's the blueprint of resistance
Try to get your point across and it gets knocked back
Confrontation - static
Intimidation - panic
Eye to eye and wall to wall
Can you see what's here? does it fill you with fear?
Can you keep your distance from what you hate?
Unbelievable, unreal, too shocked to feel
Look out! mind the gap!

The truth ain't nothin' but the truth

Oh no! you don't say! they don't see it your way?
In the dark everyone was just like you
Now you're mad, uptight because the world's not right
You don't think and it makes you sad
Attitude affected, your way - rejected
Stupidity to get you through
Check out the gap that's all around you
Try to get close, it astounds you
How these people can be so relentlessly cold

Too easy, so blind. too tough to be kind
Man, you're like some guy in a comic book
Get real, pull your head out
Get up, and get the lead out
Man, i know you can do better than that
Yeah you could stay away from arms length away from life
But it takes strength to get up close and go all the way live
Bridge the gap, take the first step
The more you go, the more you get
Down with the program and on with the show

The truth ain't nothin' but the truth

don't like to think too much, it makes me think too much,
It keeps my mind on my mind
Don't wanna see too much, it makes me see to much
Sometimes i'd rather be blind

All the things that they're saying & doing
When they pass me by just fills me up with noise
It overloads me
I wanna disconnected myself
Pull my brain stem out and unplug myself
I want nothing right now, i want to pull it out

Chorus:
Yeah, i want to pull it out, yeah
I wanna break it all down, hey, i wanna pull it out
Yeah, yeah, disconnect myself, disconnect myself
I wanna see it go down, yeah, disconnect myself

A thousand miles an hour going nowhere fast
Clinging to the details of your past
Talking 'bout your damages and your wasting my time
Wanna be the king of pain, stand in line
All the numbers and the colours and the facts
Backed by the rumours and the figures and the stats
I think i'm gonna download my mind

Chorus

Too damn bad if at the end of the day the only thoughts
In your brain are all the things that they say, what a waste
Too damn bad if at the end of the line you got no idea
What's on your own mind, you got no one to blame but yourself
Too much to know, too much to see
It might mean something to you but it's nothing to me
Its just another ad for someone's version of how they think it should be

I wanna disconnect myself, pull my brains damn out, unplug myself
I want nothing right now, i want to pull it out

Chorus

I had it wrong for so long in my head
I was walking around like i was dead
All the time my mind was stuck on you

I crawled while you stalled
I was a fool to think we were involved
I guess i needed to believe it so bad

Rejection never felt so good
All the things unclear are now
So well understood
At first i didn't see it as kind
But you did me a favor
When you left me behind

You might not believe it but it's true

It's all the things you never said that told me
All about you
It's things you try to conceal that get revealed

I had to get it wrong before i got it right
I'm not the kind of argue,
I'm not the kind to fight
By the time i got to the truth
I had reached the end

Now i see how you are
Now i see how it is
Now i see what you do
I watch them line up
I watch them fall down
One after one
I see your smile grow and grow
I think to myself
It could've been me

Now i'm alone and i'm burning
I'm hurting like hell but i'm learning
The scars will take me far like they always do

Somehow i'm alright i do believe that i'm alright

I don't need no friends to tell me who my friends are
I don't need some pig to tell me what the rules are
See me walkin' i'm loaded
See me walkin' i'm loaded
I've got an ear for every sound
I've got an ear down to the ground
These blues come down
These blues come down
The streets are burnin'
The years are turnin'
The sky is falling down
The line has been drawn
Been pushed too far
Been pushed too hard
Knocked down, knocked down, no, no, no, break it
I don't need your lovin'
I don't want your beauty
I go back in my head, i go ugly in my head
This home is loaded, it's ugly
This lonely ghetto, it's ugly
See him walkin' with a gun in his hand
See i'm walkin' with a gun in my hand
See him walkin' with a gun in my heart
Loaded, ugly, loaded, ugly, loaded, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly...

I spend time searching my mind, walking blindly
I'm a live but i don't kow why, my thoughts plague me
Paranoia, fear and guilt, i hope i don't explode
I'm a bomb that i can't diffuse, a gun i can't unload

I don't listen, i don't know, man i don't care
Talking about all the hell that you've seen, man i live there
Talk to me and it goes right through, i never heard a word you said
Save your breath, it's no use, you're talking to the living dead

Bullet driven eyes
What can you tell me
I'm living in a nightmare

I'm on the edge shrinking back from the ledge
Looking out my window down upon my heritage
Strip malls, thin walls, people paralyzed beneath the sun
Why me why now
I see the dirty millions and try to survive somehow

Got no reason got no need
I hear gunshots i hear screams
What can you do to me
What can you say
I used to be alive but i threw it all away
I used to have problems
I used to live a lie
But then i saw the sidewalk bleed and i watched his mother cry
I used to use my mind
I used to wonder why
Now i go from day to day and wait around to die
Like he did

I take a look around me and it makes me mad
Another friend of mine in rehab
Try to pull himself from a plastic bag
He's callin' from the halfway house he says he's doing fine
Says he got himself out just in time
Says his friends woulda let him turn blue and die

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes and crawls away
You gotta take it on the black train, jack
You can't even feel the fire burnin' your back
Her boyfriend left her broken and alone
She took some pills and crawled to the death zone
Her mother found her just in time
She strapped to a bed in psych ward doin' fine
Aww girl, what happened, what happened, what happened to you
What's goin' on? what's goin' on?

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes and crawls away
You're walkin' hand in hand with a death trip
You can't even feel the power in it's grip sometimes i wanna take you by your shoulders and shake you
You've got to open your eyes, man, how long will it take you
Runnin' through life blind, man, what a waste
Shot down and neutralized, man, what a case
What happened, what happened to you?
What's goin on? what's going on with you?

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes an crawls away
You've got to take it on the black train, jack
You can't even feel the fire on your back

I don't wanna die in the wreckage
Don't wanna go blind in the wreckage
Don't wanna go down in the wreckage
Don't wanna get stuck in the wreckage
Sometimes it's all i can see
The wreckage is all around me
The human wreckage, the human wreckage
To you, i say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye

Just took off my thinking cap
It got filled up with too much crap
Sat underneath the table and waited for the scraps
Morsels from the feast that you used to bait the trap, yeah

You set your sights to shoot me like a pigeon made of clay
You hit me but you missed me
You can't catch me, there's no way, no

Go on try it again
Na... ya missed me
All right stay with me son, we're working here
Ya ready, we'll see

I've watched you trash the mountain that was built before your time
You had to blow it up because you couldn't make the climb
You hide behind your money, it's too much for me to take
You and i both know you're just another junkie fake

Come on, burn out
Come on, burn out
Come on, burn out, burn out, burn out

The same way that it starts is the same way that it ends
You watch them going up and you see them falling down again

It's such a long way down

Lets' see multiple nose jobs, breast augmentation definitely, dyed hair, bleached teeth
They did something to your chin, don't know what that's about, it's intense though
It's like putting pearls on swine
You can dress up a pig but it's still a pig isn't it

Oink, oink....oink, oink.... ha ha

I feel like this, like this, like this...
I feel i wanna break myself in two
I feel like i wanna feel like you
I feel like this, i feel like this
I feel like this, i feel like this
I feel like this, pass me through me, pass me through me
I feel like this, ripping through me, ripping through me
Do you feel it?
Like i feel it? - like this?!

I'm so confused
Can't find the line
Between what i use and abuse
So unreal
How i lie and try to deny
The things that i feel

I'll love you and hate you both at the same time
Heal you and hurt you and laugh as you cry

Why i don't know
Right at you right in you
Right through you right past you i go

Can't you see
First it's him then it's her
Then it's us then it's you
Then it's me
Misery, depression, elation all mine
Refine confinement all my design

You and me
Pathetic we cling
We think that we're free
Ugly
You and me
You see, you see the real me

So obscene
Flapping wildly
You see what i mean

Keep away
Can't see why you do what you do
And say what you say

It's hard to get high
And it's hard to get thru
It's hard to hear me
When i'm talking to you
You see these hard eyes
You know what i mean
These eyes got hard
After what they've seen

I'm that hard man
So good to find
I'm that hard man
With an iron mind

I got hard
I stayed hard
Can't keep me down
Because i'm hard
I keep moving because i'm hard
I keep burning because i'm hard

I'm going over
Not getting by
Hard sense makes sense

Real pain is what i reach
The real this is what i keep
I am because i'm hard
I will because i'm hard

The lonely path i walk
To the end of the line
Let all my dreams be yours
Your nightmares mine

I call your name out
So i know i'm not alone
The brother interior
Inside my soul you're sewn
I won't be calling for long

Deep in my coma
Darkness is all i see
In the shadow of death
You light a way for me
My only brother
Why did you have to die?
You're always shining
The brightest star in the sky
I won't be crawling for long

Every day is a blessing
Every day i learn
Every night is a mission
And every time it's a lesson that burns
I now something better waits for me
Till then i live in memories
I won't be burning for long

I like you, but i don't like you
I want you, but i don't want you
I need you, but i don't need you
I am one time, i am right now, i am what's left, i am right now
I touched you, but i don't touch you
I feel you, but i don't feel you
I know you, but i don't know you
I am one time, i am right here, i am what's keft, i am right here
I remain burned beyond recognition
I remain burned beyond recognition
I like you, but you don't like me
I want you, but you don't want me
I need you, but you don't need me
I am one time, i am right here, i am what's left, i am right now
You touch me, but you don't touch me
You feel me, but you don't feel me
You know me, but you don't know me
I am one time, i am right here, i am what's left, i am right now
I remain burned beyond recognition
I remain burned beyond recognition
I remain burned beyond recognition
I remain burned beyond recognition

You think you're gonna to live your life alone
In darkness
And seclusion
Yeah i know
You've been out there
Tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home
And wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
And now you're desperate
And in need of human contact
And then
You meet me
And you whole world changes
Because everything i say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
So you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
And you trust me completely
I'm perfect
In every way
Cause i make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality
And you never bother to wonder why
Things are going so well
You wanna know why?
Cause i'm a liar
Yeah i'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
Cause i'm a liar, a liar
A liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
And understanding eyes
And i'll tell you things that you already know
So you can say
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that you're needing me
Is just the time that i'm bleeding you
Don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
And i'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me
You wanna know why?
Cause i'm a liar
Yeah i'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
Cause i'm a liar, a liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why i feel the need to lie
And cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something inside
Maybe it's something i can't explain
Cause all i do
Is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar
Oh, i am a liar

If you'll give me one more chance
I swear that i will never lie to you again
Because now i see the destructive power of a lie
They're stronger than truth
I can't believe i ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
Just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
That i will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
No, no
Ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa
Sucker
Sucker!
Oh, sucker
I am a liar
Yeah, i am a liar
Yeah i like it
I feel good
Ohh i am a liar
Yeah
I lie
I lie
I lie
Oh, i lie
Oh i lie
I lie
Yeah
Ohhh i'm a liar
I lie
Yeah
I like it
I feel good
I'll lie again
And again
I'll lie again and again
And i'll keep lying
I promise

I'm sitting in my room in your prison doing time
Bars on my windows because your not so good at crime
Standing on the corner with nothing in your head
Shirt on your back and a gun in your pants
Thinking you're the man but you're only a stand in
Standing in line to be the next bad guy
I see what you do when you use what you got
But what do you do when you do what you want

You're so civilized
You get brutalized
I see you get yourself cut down

Getting your mind off some guy's record
Making his money off fools like you
Singin' about killing like it ain't no thing
But you'll do the time when you live it for real
Paying his way from your death row cell
You're the last one to see that you got sold out
I hear you say you hate pigs so much
Then why the hell do you act like one

A gun in your hand makes a fool out of you
A gun in your hand makes a target out of me
Freedom?
You want your freedom
You can't handle freedom
You're dying for it

I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself
And everybody else
They wonder what's on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind

You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you

The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all your doors closed
Get yourself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It's not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You wear disgust like a crown

If you could see the you that i see
When i see you seeing me
You'd see yourself so differently
Believe me

I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self that treats you so unkind

If you could see the you that i see
When i see you
You would see things differently
I assure you

One look in my eyes and you know what i came here for
One look in my eyes and you know what i came here for
Take a look at my eyes and you know what i came here for
Take a look at my eyes and you know what i came here for

I do a lot, i do a lot, i do a lot of stuff
I like it when, i like it when, i like it when it's tough
One look in my eyes and you know what i came here for

I don't live to please you, i just want to walk the line
I don't live to love you, i just want to walk the line

Man is just an animal underneath the sun
I'm nothing but an animal underneath the sun
Your woman looks good and i'm gonna see your blood tonight

Inspiration don't you tell me that you got none left
Inspiration don't you tell me that you got none left
I like it when it's over and another one's begun
I like it when it's over and another one's begun

I look at my watch and it always says it'stime to go go

No one (repeat)
No reasons (repeat)
No one (repeat)
Hot (scream and repeat)
Sssssitting there
Frozen
Hot (scream and repeat)
Frozen
Hot (scream and repeat)
Brother man (scream and repeat)
Who you lookin at, who you trying to kill
Who you lookin at
Hot (scream and repeat)
Frozen
Hot
Hot
Frozen
Hot
Who you lookin' at, who you tryin to kill
Hot
No one (repeat)
Just bring me your little eyes
Just bring your little eyes over here
Hot
Bend over man
Hot
Hot bend over man
Hot broken
No one
Hot

(instrumental)

You turned me in and you burned me out
You pulled me in and you locked me out
You ripped your feelings right across my back
You didn't see that i was bleeding
You turned away when i spoke to you
You looked away when i looked right through you
You didn't need to do that to me
When i touched you
Did you feel it?
Did you ever feel anything at all?
Do you ever lie awake at night?
Do you ever think of me?
I've got my arms wrapped around myself
You've got your arms around someone else
I try to tell myself
I'm not down

I didn't want it but i got it anyway
I didn't want it and i couldn't get away
I can't deny it
I miss you
Even though it hurts inside
In my dreams i kiss you
I keep a lie alive

I wrack my brain trying to remember
Everything i said to you
I wreck my brain trying to dismember
Any part attached to you
I'm sorry i still feel this pain inside
It shows on my face like a scar
It's something i can't hide
Some people are better left alone
It hurts so much when you have nothing to say
It hurts so much to have to walk away

All eyes turned up to the hero
Charismatic icon animal man
Lyrical visionary caught in the spotlight
The more you make, the more you get it right, right?

Nothing can stop you
No one can bring you down
Don't give a thought to tomorrow
You're the man right now

It doesn't matter what you say
Because they always find some meaning in it anyway
Make them feel like they're part of some big event
They'll be too busy cheering to wonder where your talent went

They really need you
They've got to have you
You're the only one who understands

Slender messiah, god with a song
Turned strung out wreck who stuck around too long
Tragic hero coming down hard
The joke's on you, you got played like a deck of cards

Paying the price of fame
Under the weight of the flames

Feel the backlash
Watch the tables turn
Now you need them
Feel the fire burn

All eyes turned up to the hero
Strung out self abusive circus freak
One thing that you might not know
There'll be another messiah right here next week

(the last person you blame is yourself and you feel like a victim and it feels
Great to be put upon by love.)

You turned me and you put me out
You put me in and you locked me out
The way you feel is gonna cross me back
You didn't see that i was bleedin'
You looked at me and i saw right through you
You looked away when i spoke right to you

You didn't need to do that to me

When i touched you, did you feel it?
Did you ever feel anything at all?
Do you ever lie awake at night?
Do you ever think of me?
I've got my arms wrapped around myself
You've got your arms around someone else
I'll lie to myself
I'll tell myself i'm not there, down, down, down
I'm not down
Some people are left alone
Some people are left alone

I didn't want it but i get it anyway
I didn't want it but i couldn't get away
I can't deny it, i miss you
Even though it hurts inside
When i breathe i kiss you
I keep on lyin', lyin'

You didn't need to do that to me

I lock my brain tryin' to remember
I lock my brain tryin' to dismember
Anything i did to you
Every thought i taxed for you
I'm sorry i still feel this pain inside
You punctured my face like a scar
It's simple, i can't hide, i can't hide, i can't hide, no!

Some people have been left alone
Some people are let alone
It hurts so much when you've got nothing to say
It hurts so much to have to walk away
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away

Oh man, i can't believe the things i said to you
I must have been out of my mind
Desperation crept in
From all the things i've kept in
I'm sorry i just couldn't help myself
I can tell by look in your eyes
That you think i'm a fool
It's alright, it's too late to turn back now
I'm throwing these lines out
I'm throwing my line out
Hoping you'll bite and drag me in with you

I go so low until i see
It's when i hit the bottom i know for sure
It gets so pathetic when you're lonely
That you'll do anything

I can't believe what i've become
The things i say and do
Loneliness will make you throw your sense away
Here i am trying to get through
Feeling so small
Running my mouth at you
I'm feeling strange like a stranger
I'm here but i know i'm out of there
As close as i get is so far away
Am i coming off like i'm crazy?
My lack of pretense too intense?
Am i telling you more than you want to know?

Oh man, i can't believe the things i said to you
I must have been out of my mind
Landing hard on a saturday night
Walking down walked on streets
Looking through the windows at good time shows
My loneliness, how it hurts and how it shows

I need you here
I need you here
I'm dyin' i'm burnin' i'm warnin' i'm bleedin'
I'm dyin' i'm breathin' it's you that i'm needin'
I need, i need, i need, i need
If you're alive, you know what i mean, if you're alive
If you're alive, you know what i mean, if you're alive
I need your strength
I need your strength

The way you look at me is tearing me apart
And the way i let you feel is tearing me apart
I think as we do it, do it to eachother, it's tearing us apart
Look at you and me - tearing eachother apart
I don't mean to do it, you don't mean to do it
So we better stop it now, because we're tearing eachother apart

Tearing me apart
Tearing you apart
Tearing us apart

It's hard to be alone, but it's harder to be with you
But you know that i'm a liar, a liar with your pants on fire,
Tearing you apart
Slam down the phone right in your face, tearing myself apart
So close, too close, not close enough
Tearing eachother apart
When i see you i wanna tell you but then i lose the words
And it tears me apart

Better walk away, better walk away, better walk away
Before you cry away
Well i've got a hole inside and i keep it deep inside
Deep inside and in there i'm gonna hide
I've gotta get away to see if i'm okay
I've gotta get away to see if i'm okay
Sometimes things don't work out, sometimes things don't work out
Sometimes things don't work out, sometimes things don't work out
And it tears me apart

There it is on the news
Someone i know is now someone i knew
I can't believe it happened again
Another mound another one down
Pounded by a lie into the ground
My disgust has got no place to go

So sick of saying goodbye again

Rebel in the dirt
What was it worth?
I'm left with grief and so much hurt
So much loss, so much pain
So much sorrow and so much strain
So much anger, so much rage,
No the sadness never fades
You're gone - i'm left to move on

Seems like i'm saying goodbye again

Just last week i saw you hanging out
Who would have known you had two days to live?
I left town and heard that you left too
The difference is that i can come back

So young
Too late
So sad
Too bad
Good bye

"never really knew the words
Pulled the vocals off a bootleg
Mostly made up
Sorry" - hr

You're so fucking weak
You disgust me
It's a drag when you bring me down
All the things you say
No one cares anyway
But then you've got to deal with me

I see through the lies
To the bottom of your eyes
Your fake charisma pulls you through
The hous of cards that you built
On the cheap shot guilt
Doesn't mean a fucking thing to me

You're pathetic and weak
You're a fake and you lie
I'd like to crush you like an insect
But i don't want to do the time
Do you really want to confront me?
Do you really want to deal woth me?
No
I didn't think so

You step back
Or you fall down

I see you from across the room
Is there something on your mind?
I'm thinking about taking the round about route
I'm thinking about the straightest line
Is it me, or is me and you?
Give me some indication so i'll know what to do

Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Can you catch me as i'm falling past your window pane?
Love's so heavy
Catch me as i'm falling
Love is so heavy

There's always something that keeps us far apart
Seems like it's already over before it even starts
You said, she said, he said, i said
No one said a word
Is it something that i did or something that you heard?

Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
I'm getting knotted up
Not again
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Catch me as i'm falling
Love is so heavy

Look out

I never knew you like i wanted to
The things you said meant a lot to me
I wonder what they meant to you
So much i'd like to tell you
But i know you don't wanna know
Every time i want to be with you
Is the time that it's time to go
Oh well

Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Oh...ha...
Love's so heavy
Love's so heavy
Catch me as i'm falling
Love is so heavy
It's so heavy

Well she's straight and look like a lot of fun
The bar's open i'm gonna go have a drink with everyone
Walking downtown skies can't get any greater
Haven't got no money and i haven't got a prayer
I'm gonna move right in (x3)
After we hang a little we're gonna have a little fun
Gonna go shoot and kill and go knife everyone
The bar looks like haven gonna have myself a drink
Hey man don't you know i fell right in to the swing
I'm gonna move right in (x3) yeah
Gonna go uptown so i can get myself straight
Gonna go see my mama see if i got myself a date
Time is runnin' out i'm comin' right down to the wire
Gotta go do something to get myself higher
I'm gonna move right in (x3) hey

On my way to the cage
I'm getting taught a lesson
On my way to the cage
I'm choking on the medicine
On my way to the cage
I'm stepping hard on four leaf clovers
On my way to the cage
I'm learning the same thing over and over

On the way to the cage
I heard the crowd roar
Thoughts of you were long behind me
I couldn't ask for more
The lights are almost blinding
Come closer, see yourself in my eyes
Fear me

On my way to the cage
The taste of blood is in my mouth
On my way to the cage
The fear is in their eyes
On my way to the cage
My animal blood is pure
On my way to the cage
No regrets and no last words

(chorus)

I've got your world inside my fist
I've got your mind on a string
I've got your soul on a leash
You put yourself above me
But there's something that you've missed
You always say you hate me

But you watch me anyway
It's a pain you can't resist

On my way to the cage
I'm larger than life, laughing at death
On my way to the cage
I'm tripping on pain and feeling fine
On my way to the cage
You're paying your price and i'm paying mine
On my way to the cage
I'm watching you cry and wave goodbye

They've killed me
They've tied my hands with rope
And now they drag me up the street
A woman is struggling to kick me in my skull
If she could she would kill me again
I can see her teeth shine
As she kicks at my dirt covered eyes so blind
Oh mother they hate me so much
The hatred's real
And now it's mine

They sit below me
Stare up and shout threats at my nakedness
Their tongues are hanging from out of their mouths
I hope they don't tear me limb from limb
So much noise
So much hatred
So much violence
They love me
Oh they'd kill to have me
They'd have to kill me
They're hatred's pure, i am devine

When you kick me / when you rape me
When you burn me / when you break me
When you cut me / i am devine
Your devine object of hatred

Show me how you really are
Show me how you really feel
Let me know you really care
Let me know your hatred's real
I trust you when you hate me
Abuse me with all your heart
It's why i'm here
I'm your devine object of hatred

You hate me
I can see that it's real
You do things to me
That you never thought you would
You hurt me
You'll never know what i feel
What you bring me
I never thought you could
Give me more
Make me stronger
High on your poison
I am devine

I've got a wantless need
I've got a thoughtless mind
I've got a wantless want
I can't unwind
I've got a heart that hates
I've got hands that like to break
They tell me : hold on
They never let me go
I am a clenched fist lookin' for a wall to kiss
I am a locked door lookin' for a foot to kick me to the floor

What have i got? i've got everything
What have i got? nothin' much at all

Self rejected, well protected, to lock myself inside myself to get free
Self-hated, frustrated, my hands turn to fists
Violence - so hard to resist
I get so mad i do things that i regret
So stupid, so stupid, not stupid enough to ever forget

Got no need, got no brain - inside my mind i feel no pain, no
I feel the pounding in my head
Start lookin', start lookin' - you better look out
I'm not feelin' too nice today
........................
I can't stop, i can't stop - it pulls me together then it tears me apart
Just like that

A man and a woman locked in a hot apartment prison
They're in love, love
He's beatin' that woman's head against the fridgerator door
Slammin' that woman's head against the fridgerator door
They're in love, they're in love, they're in love
He's beatin' that woman to an inch of her life
Beatin' that woman to an inch of her life
Beatin' that woman to an inch of her life
The heed and the hate, the heed and the hate, the heed and the hate
The heed and the hate make the windows sweat, make the windows sweat
Makes the walls moan, moan, moan, moan
Now outside in the hallway al the neighbors
From all the other apartment building rooms have gathered in the hallway
And they're all out there armed with their baseball bats and brooms
Listening to the man beat the woman to an inch of her life
Now all the wise guys are in the back takin' bets
The one man says,
"i say, he's gonna kill her, my money's down that says he's gonna kill her."
And the other man says,
"he's not gonna kill her, he's gonna beat that woman to an inch of her life,
Beat that woman to an inch of her life, beat that woman to an inch of her
Life, beat that woman to an inch of her life. that's where my money is, so
Put your money down, put your money down, put your money down."
A little while later the cops come
And they come up the stairs
And they see all the people gathered in the hallways
With their baseball bats and brooms
See the wise guys in the back throwin' 5 dollar bills back and forth
And they say,
"alright, which room is it?"
And a few of the people point to the room at the end of the hall
The cops go over there and they kick the door in
And they see the man beatin' on the woman, slammin' her head up against the
Wall, beatin' that woman to an inch of her life.
And they say,
"hey man, why you beatin' that woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin'
That woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin' that woman to an inch of
Her life?"
And, the man says, get this, the man says...,
"that's no woman that's my wife,
That's no woman that's my wife,
That's no woman that's my wife,
And when she screams she turns on all the apartment lights on."

What do you know?
Same as i know
How do you feel?
Same as i feel
Same old talk is going round and round
All the smiles are turning into frowns
When they say low and i say high
When they tell me that i better
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie
I know it's all a lie

See them lined up
Bus stop wind up
Same day same time
Time to change up
Same old talk is dragging round and round
Pulls the smiles down into frowns
Look in the mirror, see your shining eyes
You know right then that you will never die
You'll never die
You'll never die
Will never die
Will never die
Ah look out man

Like i said
Brain like halo
I go day glo
They say go slow
I say hell no
Same old talk is going round and round
All the smiles are turning into frowns

Off to the races
On with the show
Show me the next place
I really wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go

Walkin' alone down sunset boulevard
Feelin' lonely, feelin' mean, feelin' hard
Passing cars movin soft to scar my mind
Hot night street light pressin down burning my eyes

What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?

Climb the stairs back to my hollow room
Locked up, thrown away, fallin' down, sudden tomb
Voices outside screamin'
Not sayin' a word to me
Voices inside screamin' at a man - don't you always hear it from me?

What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?

Turn around quick see if i can see my eyes
I see the face in the mirror starin' back don't recognize
Lookin' at my hands only nothin' hangin' on
Feelin' non-existent, stuck here feelin' gone
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?
What am i doing here?

I try not to let it get above me
Don't make me
Don't hurt me
Don't push me
Don't confront me

I try to separate real from unreal
Don't make me have to open my eyes
Don't make me have to feel
Crime lights burning like a halo
Sidewalk under my feet
Passing trains below
I keep walking with nothing in my head
Where am i going?

Some nights i walk mile after mile after mile
I need you i need you i want to smile at your smile
Are you out there somewhere looking,
Waiting for me?
I'm falling fast falling, falling broken
Reach out and catch me

The city's in my blood like a curse
And the people and the noise make it worse
I can't tell you why there's no place i'd rather be
Where am i going?
Dirty grey city dropping rain down in my dreams
No one knows me
So when you see me
Just walk on by
I'm caving in and i don't know why
There's got to be more than this but i just can't find it

I'm wandering in a city
Unknown to myself
A stranger to everyone i meet
I'm wasted on insomnia
Paranoid to the hilt
Where am i going?

I looked deep into your eyes
Saw men lying broken
Shattered at the bottom of your well
You took their simple affection
Turned it into bad infection
Sent them packing straight to hell
I see what sweats you
Reality threatens you
You can't hide yourself from me
When you see the one that sees through you - it's me
Canine men
Fighting, lying, trying to be the one
That gets to feel your touch
I see them lined up like broken heroes
Spitting out pieces of their broken luck
I guess i've got good sense and hindsight
Because to me it never meant that much
When you see the one that laughs at you - it's me

Wasted time spent thinking about you
You know i've come to hate myself
Smashing my hands against the wall
Trying to forget the foolish way i felt
You're so kind when it serves you well
Your cruelty

No more trying
No more lying
No more messing around with my mind
I'm going, i'm gone

Because now i see you
You must think i'm blind
When you need those arms around you
You won't find my arms around you
When you see the one that sees through you
When you see the one that laughs at you - it's me

Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to rip it up
Do you know what i'm talking about
Are you ready to give it up
Are you ready to dance
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
Are you ready
If you're read i'm ready man

Are you ready to shake it up
Are you ready to tear it down
Are you ready to rip it up
Do you think i'm messing around
Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
Are you ready
If you're read i'm ready man

Are you ready to rip it up
Are you ready to tear it down
Are you ready to ......
Now you're finished messing around
Are you ready to rock
Are you ready to hit the floor
Are you ready
Are you ready
Since you're read i'm ready
