- All the best cowboys have daddy issues
{My father's sins are out tonight}
{My father's sins are out tonight}
I haven't seen him in years
I haven't seen him in years
{My mother's sins are out tonight}
{My mother's sins are out tonight}
- Between the Mountains and the Sea
And do you ever ask yourself
If the person that you are
Is the person you were meant to be
Or are you too afraid to go that far
Courage is to walk
Through the valley of our thoughts
And in the desert that you fear
- Bite To Break Skin
So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel
Each breath
is getting slower
- Bloody Romance
Life, is floating fast away.
But I look, your head is turned away.
From the moment you left I knew that something wasn't right.
But the feeling inside has kept me up all night.
You and me (and me) like one heart-beat.
You and me (and me) like one heart-beat.
- Bonecrusher
I feel the city breathe at night
Beneath the stars and neon lights
And I've got nothing to lose
Drink up [drink up] drink up the loneliness
Drink up [drink up] drink up the loneliness
The streets outside, they burn with light
- Buried A Lie
Rest in peace girl, your death is such a shame
The paper said a bullet got in your way
But I smell foul play, possible poisoning
I had to bring you in for questioning
I went to your grave, dug up your body
Brought it to my house, where you lay
So let's play doctor babe
- Calling All Cars
Calling all cars we've got another victim
'Cause my love has become an affliction
What did you expect from me?
What did you expect from me?
I'm sorry but I think I failed to mention
I lied at my very first confession
What did you expect from me?
- Can't Be Saved
Follow your bliss
It beats on my chest
I know I got it tattooed for a reason
(Why Can't I Just Hold It True?)
Cause I'm still crashing all the funerals of these people that I never knew.
I'm stuck in coma, stuck in a neverending sleep.
Some day I will wake up, and realize i made up everything.
- Cant Be Saved
So the light now is my weapon
Like a bush dried, weathered in the sun
With this spark I'll go up in flames
I lay my guns down but they're too small to see
It's kinda cute how I resent to be
Everything but an instrument to you.
Embrace the emptiness
- Choke on This
Half smoked cigarettes and you're the trash that infests my sheets
Can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust
Detoxing the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain
I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
- Dreaming a Reality
Is this what it's like?
A dream lacking serenity?
A wordless conversation, a "you and I" without me.
Well I'll try and I won't get far,
I'll die and I won't get far
I'll try and know that everything's ok
- Everyday Is A Struggle
I was the chapstick in your purse, to keep you smooth.
I was the finger in your throat, to keep you cute.
My liver hates you for walking out on us.
My kidney’s drowning in a pool of a long lost love.
I stole your perfume to spray in my room,
You will always be here.
- Family Tradition
I tried to be the one that everybody loved
Where has that gotten me?
I tear myself to shreds to prove that I"m someone
That I could never be
Now these unsightly marks define me
So help me
Please someone come quick
- FireWorks At Dawn
Fireworks at dawn
as I sip for assistance.
This flask keeps me calm
it reflects back my bent image
Of someone who's lost
and getting older by the minute.
Laugh lines are like growing scars
someday they will be finished.
- Free Fall Without A Parachute
Well I had a dream last night and in my dream I took a knife to you.
I slit your throat from ear to ear
The wound was gasping for the air.....your scream so clear
But every dream could never come true.
Only in my sick mind can I do these things to you.
With every passing moment, it just keeps getting worse
- Hair Of The Dog
Empty frames on the floor
There’s nothing left to prove who I was before
I’ll burn the pictures before I leave
And wipe my prints off from the scene
The embers will help me to grieve
I need a drink to take
To take me through the day
- Headed West
Sometimes I feel so meaningless
Tangled up in the widows web
The more I struggle the tighter the noose will get
I'm screaming for help outside of the school for the deaf
I'll spill my guts to anyone who will listen
I'm headed west to try to test my bravery
Face to face with my thoughts is what I need
- Hold On
I take a final breath, breath it in my lungs
'Cause everything I've done has made me numb
If I had just one wish it'd be to let this out
So let go
And late at night I wonder
Am I lightning lacking thunder?
A Cabaret marque
- Institutionalized
Sometimes I try to do things, and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to.
And I get real frustrated and like I try hard to do it.
I like take my time and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to.
It's like I concentrate on it real hard and it just doesn't work out
And Everything I do and everything I try it never turns out.
It's like I need time to figure these things out.
There's always someone there going
Hey Buddy:
- Irony Of Dying On Your Birthday
Just know
We are
A spec
In time
So follow your bliss and destroy the beauty.
I'll lock myself alone in a room
- Life is Not A Waiting Room
I stand alone on the verge of 24
I can not doubt, I'm left unsure
Everyone I know has a casket made
The black spins out, the roads are paved
Do I still have time to make mistakes?
Is this the point where I bend or break?
Am I too far gone to medicate?
- Lost and found
This island has become an ocean
and my boat is way to small.
The waves are crashing in
and I can't save this sinking ship.
I sent out signal flares,
but no one out there seems to care.
Now the voice inside my head
- Lungs Like Gallows
I give blood to prove to myself
That I can matter to somebody else
Is what makes a man the dirt on his hands?
Go put your faith in the desert sand
The wind is always blowing
There are gallows deep inside my lungs
That's where I hung ambition
- Martini Kiss
There's poison in my drinking glass
Don't step just sip it down
And in a swirling masquerade of sound
My body hits the ground
I'm beautiful when I'm asleep
Martini kisses land
On my blistered bloody scarlet lips
The bottles in my hand
- Mi Amor
Mi amor es mas fuerte
Que los demonios
Que yo solia frecuentar
Ya no pregunto mi vida
Veo el sol
Ahora que tengo mi amor
You are the ocean
- New Years Eve
Clip my angels wings
I'm a coward, I'm a liar and a cheat
My vows all means nothing, I'm weaker than a priest
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Like a hurricane I'm always given a new name
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Head for the hills get somewhere safe
The further you go the better off you'll be
- NJ Falls Into The Atlantic
And it's 4am and we will stalk again
The princess and her bitter queen.
On the 4th day of July
Deep in summers eye,
Naked like the truth should always be.
So speak your knives.
(Don't follow, with your foot)
- One Eight Seven
One Eight Seven
It's so nice sitting very still,
in a room where no one else can feel, the pain that breaks my heart each day
I'm not ok.
Sunlight shining through my window, let's me know that I'm still alive
But why did I ever let you inside my heart?
I'm such a fool.
- Rum is for drinking, not for burning
This captain goes down with the ship
All hands on deck, stand hip-to-hip
I shout the orders, "Shoot to kill!"
I'm dressed to thrill,
I'm dressed to thrill.
And all my enemies,
I want their eyes to see,
- Save Yourself
Turn out the light.
Just say goodnight
to yourself.
May I remind you,
when you find
you're all alone's when you,
you've got to be strong.
Thats when they call you in the night.
- Sick or Sane
Take me to a hotel room
And tie me to the bed of my mistakes
Kiss me like I paid for this
Please don't stop till you break all my faith
And the white coats, just don't get it,
I'm a genius, with a headache.
And the white coats, just don't get it,
- stephen
(Goodbye)
November 10th , a cold dark night
You could feel that something wasn't right.
That night many hearts did cry
When we learned we had to say goodbye.
All embraced under one common song
the body is dead but life lives on.
- Still Searching
I can't believe it's been a year
Since I kissed my fears
On their salty lips
And said to them I love you all
I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders
For 20 years and look at me now
- Stretch Your Legs to Coffin Length
Today my past
Has come alive to eat
All of the guts that I use to just keep my feet
Moving left and right
As my legs shake like trees
Oh how I curse the heavens for not taken me
GOD DAMN
- Surrender
[Buddy Nielsen talking:]
My heart breaks, it's quivering
When I stare into the sky and I know that I am part of this
Unfolding into beauty, my eyes steam with tears, rainbow ribbons grace the ground
I have died a thousands times, I have breathed a million breaths, but it has taken me this long to be present
It's taken an eternity to see this evidence
"Wisdom tells me I am nothing, my heart tells me I am everything
Somewhere between the two my life flows"
- Take Refuge
I was born with wings yet I chose to crawl
Through my mind like a desert void of anything
Anything good at all
Now I hold my head up high
Hang the noose up on the wall
Love help me seeing the invisible
Compassion set me free
- The Fire
I’ll light the fuse and I’ll set that dam to blow flooding the entire town below
And all that I’ve known what wasn’t nailed down will be washed away
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate
I found the strength to face
The place I fear the most is the place I have to go to see the truth
It’s ok to feel lost it just means you’re alive
I’ve told myself a thousand times from the ashes we will rise
- The Ground Folds
Just throw it back, for one more night
On a starlit and moon-struck night.
The ground did fold and eat us both
But all my love, I did devote.
Beneath the rafters the angels sing
Spinning violence and playing with my heart.
- Wounds
Fear, I was so afraid to face the truth and open wide
For fear that I would float away and not been seen
There is a beating in my heart and it is the scariest thing I have ever felt
To know that the difference between joy and sadness is such a small sliver
There is a welling up of emotions inside me that I just can't bare; tears stream down my face
There are moments of extreme joy, there are moments of love, there are moments of madness
And this is life; we cannot change what arises, only how we greet it
- You're Cute When You Scream
(Play with, my heart)
I'll teach you what its like
(To be, so used)
That you'll have to clean
that dirt stuck in your plastic fingernails
and just the sent of you is enough
to make me sick
- брат братан братишка
(Bite to break skin,
Don't give the secret,
My stoic face,
Beaten with passion
The phoenix will die
Inside the fire storm
I am the son
So follow my footsteps.)
