Runnin' Around

They say
Time don't wait for anybody
I know it doesn't wait for me
When I rise
Try to make a good impression
But I know it's lost on thee
Oh yeah
Caught up in the misdirection
Got me thinking you're runnin' around
When I see
The emptiness in your reflection
Got me thinking you're runnin' round
Try again
Focus on a new beginning
But I know we're at the end
Too late
All I had was good intentions
But they’re not enough to mend

Guilty
04:23
|
|||
|
Time will tell, I know it's here
Strike a match, fill me with fear
It's getting dark, blow out the light
It's coming soon, but I feel alright
Guilty, like I was before
I paid with flesh, but you want more
You bind my hands behind my back
On full display upon the rack
and the whip does crack
and the whip does crack
Feel your breath upon my skin
A cold embrace and it begins
The rapture and the end of time
Complete chaos but I'm feeling fine

Couple a Drinks
02:28
|

|
Hey yeah
I’m falling down
with all you said
that's gone around
and how I treated you so bad
I never meant to make you sad
I told you before
and I’ll tell you again
that I like you a lot
but we’re better off friends
and it's bringing me down
and making me think
what I really need now
is a couple of drinks
I don't know
what to do
All of these feelings
misconstrued
You're the one who called me up
but I could never fill your cup
I hope
that it goes well
But only space
and time will tell
Second guessing what I did
And now I have to live with it

Pledge
04:34
|
|||
|
Little girl, lost no where to go
So afraid, trapped in the snow
Last person she saw
Slit her throat for a show
Deep red on white
Soaking the earth below
I make this pledge to you
I’ll hunt you down and run you through
And when we finally meet again
I’ll drag you screaming to your end
Crooked teeth and empty eyes
As she bleeds out, she sees him smile
The rage it builds deep within
No, she won’t die, she won’t let him win
I make this pledge to you
I’ll hunt you down and run you through
And when we finally meet again
I’ll drag you screaming to your end
Little girl lost nowhere to go
Yeah that was me but so long ago
Now I’m here and I’m so alive
As I see the pain and fear in your eyes
When we finally meet again
I drag you screaming to your end

Nowhere Ride
03:38
|
|||
|
Driving down the highway
with nothing on my mind
A thousand miles from nowhere
and all I have is time
If I can't be there by tomorrow
well that'll be just fine
This life is just a journey
so come on let’s take a ride
I’ll never go back
to the place that I’m from
It took a whole of lot of dying
to see how the damage was done
Lost city of angels
a cross roads in the sun
I’ve got my top rolled down
as though I’m the only one
But as I look around me
I see I’m not alone
Me and my fellow travelers
we’re searching for a home
I’ll never go back
to the place that I’m from
It took a whole of lot of dying
to see how the damage was done
Finally at my destination
but it’s time that I moved on
Getting stuck in the same situation
well that would be just wrong
Turns out I need to wander
to truly feel alive
This life is just a journey
so come on let’s take a ride
I’ll never go back
to the place that I’m from
It took a whole of lot of dying
to see how the damage was done

Wake Me
04:29
|
|||
|
I’m lost
Every step I calculate the cost
Can’t come back
The good just like debris has all been tossed
Tick tock
I can’t ever seem to make it stop
This clock
Ringing out the days and all the cost
Won’t you wake me
from my violent dreams
Come and shake me
Hold me as I scream
Do you believe?
It seems
Cast away all my cherished things
Just to leave
the space to bring in what i can’t conceive
Do you see
the meaning in the last breath
I do breath?
Am I free?
Trapped inside and caught up in these
Won’t you wake me
from my violent dreams
Come and shake me
Hold me as I scream
Do you believe?

Can We Not Bend
04:20
|
|||
|
See my breath fog up the window
as I try to peak inside
Everything is on the table
except what you want to hide
All the guests are so enchanting
as they’re caught up in their lies
A masquerade of false intentions
It’s where truth it goes to die
It’s where truth it goes to die
It’s where truth it goes to die
It’s all a rush until the end
It’s all a rush can we not bend
Silhouettes and shadows dancing
liquid fire on the walls
Moving shapes and twisted figures
waiting for the beck and call
He’s the one they know is coming
they say he can change it all
Grant us all our vulgar wishes
Get us ready for the fall
Get us ready for the fall
Get is ready for the fall
It’s all a rush until the end
It’s all a rush can we not bend
Sadness of the morning after
Feeling naked and ashamed
Lumped with all the other masses
who were here to do the same
In the light their grotesque bodies
and their dark and dirty souls
It makes them all feel quite uneasy
as they slink back to their holes
As they slink back to their holes
As they slink back to their holes
It’s all a rush until the end
It’s all a rush can we not bend

Perfect Now
03:42
|
|||
|
I remember thinking how
I was going to make my life so perfect now
Wasted all these years and now there gone
Stuck myself in middle age
I got lines criss-crossing on my face
Thought I had more time
But I was wrong
Thinking back on days gone bye
Well i shake my head and wonder why
I blew off all those things that meant so much
Relationships and missed birthdays
Graduations, high school plays
The comfort of a woman’s loving touch
As I sit here by myself
With a tv tray and nothing else
But loneliness and dark and deep despair
I know I have no one to blame
And if had the chance, I’d do the same
And all my sorrows start to fill the air
Calling as I’m falling
Yes I'm falling once again
Falling, yes I’m falling
Yes I’m falling once again

Dancer
04:00
|
|||
|
Well you’re here for the money
Put on a show
I want to see you dance
And slide on the pole
Watch you strut
To classic Rock & Roll
As you pick up bills
On the runway floor
Come be my private dancer now
Gonna make your Daddy proud
All grown up but not so loud
A broken girl from a busted town
Bend over baby
Touch your toes
I want to see you smile
as you hold that pose
If you’re a good girl
And do what what your told
When I take you in the back
I’ll give you some blow

Haven't A Clue
03:56
|
|||
|
I don't know what you meant
All I heard was what you said
Why’s it so confusing?
Trying to figure out your head
I've been running around in circles
(andI I’m) trying hard to figure out you
When I think I finally got the answers
I realize that i haven't a clue
All the words from your mouth
pass right through my simple mind
Clouds of doubt and pretense
I know it's just a matter of time
This makes no damn sense
At least in the way you explain
So i'm left here guessing
Is this all just part of your game

New Messiah
04:03
|
|||
|
Broken down and given up
Hate could never fill my cup
But in you I find enough
My new messiah
I don't care just what they say
I’Il take it all so come what may
And in the end there’s hell to pay
For my new messiah
Won’t you take me down
When you come around
Won't you take me down
When you come around
Crying out in ancient tongues
In your name my will be done
I have found the chosen one
My new messiah
Cursed just like the Book of Job
A simple bet for pain untold
In the end I came to know
My new messiah
Won’t you take me down
When you come around
Won't you take me down
When you come around
So in you I leave my fate
Who I am and what I make
Witness as you change your shape
My new messiah
Now the doubt it eats within
Cognizant of my last sin
On your face I see a grin
My new messiah

Hurricane Sunday

Sunday hurricane
Monday feels the same
Tuesday who’s to blame
For all this chaos they can’t explain
Here since the dawn of age
But now someone’s got to pay
Storm is coming, its coming fast
wipe out the future and cleanse our past
cause we are nothing lets dumb it down
we are just cockroaches upon the ground
The storm is coming, its coming fast
wipe out our future and cleanse our past
Progress has got to go
we’ll reap what we did sow
Freedom for thought control
our way of life and what we know
so lets give it away
‘cause they’ll be fair thats what they say
Storm is coming, its coming fast
wipe out the future and cleanse our past
‘Cause we are nothing lets dumb it down
We’re just cockroaches upon the ground
The storm is coming, its coming fast
Wipe out our future and cleanse our past
Sunday hurricane
Monday feels the same
Tuesday who’s to blame
For all this chaos they can’t explain
Here since the dawn of age
But now someone’s got to pay
[Progress has got to go
we’ll reap what we did sow
Freedom for thought control
our way of life and what we know
so lets give it all away
cause they’ll be fair thats what they say]
Storm is coming, its coming fast
wipe out the future and cleanse our past
cause we are nothing lets dumb it down
we’re just cockroaches upon the ground
The storm is coming, its coming fast
wipe out our future and cleanse our past
