Loco

Pull - steamroller rollin' through
My head said attached to Loco
Power up coal through the system
Out to the right said you're in my
Light - lock down the generator on
Man screw down use the system
Use the main plan full power up to
The point man don't fuck with me

Loco

Lock down here latch the gen-
Erator on screw the system
Full power hit the main plan

Bradley

Try to remember
Try to forget
Try to remember

 

Look back try to remember
That name sounds so familiar
Sue, these letters are driving me crazy
They're driving me so fucking crazy
They're making me so angry

Bradley, to remember
Bradley, so familiar

One more year do something
Make something from nothing
Sue, these letters are driving me crazy
They're driving me so fucking crazy
They're making me so angry

Mom, these letters at Christmas
Are driving me crazy
I must be crazy - why?
Don't get it, I'm crazy - why?

Tried to remember what you said
Sounds so familiar what you said
My life is mine, it's mine
I'm gonna take it back
My life it's mine, it's mine
I want it back

Oddity

This is the way it's got to be...

Crawl beneath this filthy ground
And underneath this dirty ground
I crawl beneath this filthy ground
And underneath these dirty leaves

Seems to me to be the insanity
It seems to me I've become the oddity
It seems to me I need some identity
Seems to me I've become the oddity

Keep this high now keep this high
Said I better
Keep this high now keep this high
Said I better
Keep this high now keep this high
Said I better
Keep this high now keep this high

This is the way it's got to be...

No fear, so depraved, break

Unspoiled

Always cold inside this glass
Trust it's hard, I know this trust will never last
It's never been much of my concern
I've grown in size again, still fine?

Sleep it all away, just another day
Always me in the corner this way
It's never been much of your concern
You've grown inside again, still fine?

Do I look fine to you?
Do I seem alright to you?
Do I look fine?
Do I seem alright - to you?

Stay - unspoiled

So spoiled you leave cleaner by day
Exposed and lonely forever on display
It's never been much of our concern
We fell apart again, kill time

Big Truck

Too small, too small don't compromise
So have fast, too fast don't realize
Have hand on wheel, set the sights, drive with me

Too fast, too fast don't realize
So have fast, too fast don't recognize
Have hand on wheel, set the sights, drive with me

Moving - motion
Said move, said move it

Somebody better come and drive me

Big truck

Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold, hold my body, hold my           body

Big truck, come on

Sway

The roof the roof the roof is on fire
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker burn

Burn, burn, burn, burn

Just a little and nothing now it's over
Just a little and nothing now it's done
What you said, no, you're never gonna say again
In your own special way you tear me down

Sway - so hypnotic

Neither up nor down,
Just been turned and turned
It just sits inside so it burns and burns
If I can't decide what makes you hurt
In your own special way you tear me down

So ask me please, please

Give me something good, now
Something
Give me something good, now
Give me

Come sway this way

First

 

If someone should ask you then say
That he fell away
From what he wanted at first
From what he wanted at first
From what he wanted

If someone should ask you then say
That they fell away
From what they wanted at first
From what they wanted at first
From what they wanted

As he fell away, as she fell away
He won't come out and play music anymore

If someone should ask you then say
That she fell away
From what she wanted at first
From what she wanted at first
From what she wanted

Try - tried I couldn't kick it
I'm taking mine, I'm taking mine now

No, if someone should ask you then say
He sleeps all day
That he feels he's gone, son
And always will be betrayed

Try, tried I couldn't kick it, no
I'm taking mine
Try - tried I couldn't kick
As she - as she

I

Let down through the breakthrough
I travel as I hunger for the darkness below me
When I'm praying for the light above
To save this soul inside me

Should I? Would I? Could I?

Outcast from my own kind never knowing
Soaring through my own mind never knowing
How could they live with what their doing
Twist of my spine

Oh God fuck

I don't get it
Breathe with me
Just breathe with me

It's up to me as I hunger
Lay slow and still as I wonder
Pray for darkness down in this hollow
But I try to grope

It's up to me as I sleep again
My body lays down as I holler
It's all inside but I confess in me
I like me

back to top

Clock

Clock tick tick tick, tick tock, tick tock

Wicked mind you hold the hour
But my mind it holds the power

Clock tick tick tick

Where did the time go?
What do I have to show?
Watching the time fly (go by)
Watching the time fly

Clock - it counts my fears

My time goes by so slow
My clock goes by so slow

Come closer you can do better
You can do better than me

It counts my fears

My Frustration

Where was I when god had shown
How to make a happy home

Lie in bed and sleep don't come
Have some peace then give me some
And I know the reason why you hold me down
I won't let this fear of loss make me drown

In my bed I lie alone
Scrape together bone to bone
And I can't seem to seem to find my way
I can't seem to find the break of day

I'll stay just a step away

Where was I when god had shown
How to make a happy home
And I have become my worst enemy
I will survive this instability

In my bed I lie alone
Scrape together bone to bone
Again I have become my worst enemy
I will survive this instability

I need to breathe the breath of life
You constantly drain my life
Why can't you see the breath in me
I constantly need your feed
My butterfy don't fly away

If I could just take this simple breath of life from me
You couldn't take it motherfucker eternity
If I could take this breath of life and come inside of me
You wouldn't take it, I need to breathe

As I creep the monkey's back
Now she's gone and oh he's back
And I know the reason why you hold me down
I won't let this fear of loss make me drown

I will stay, I'll stay
I will stay, I'll stay

Dreamtime

Something in my mind keeps me satisfied
Shoved aside, pushed to the wayside
If you lead, I will follow you

Vague memories in my mind they hide
Shoved aside to get thrown by the wayside
If you lead, I will follow you

Dreamtime comes quick when broken
Keep me satisfied so help me

So long I prayed for dreamtime, so help me

And it's inside of you my friend
Who'll save me, who will?
It's all inside of you, dreamtime

Pig

Lost and lonely
Your colors surrounding me
It's only my way to breakin' free
In my mind I hear the souee
Souee here pig pig pig pig

Don't you see I'm set free
I'm set gone gone free

Lost and lonely
You make your way through this day
Preceding your way after way I hate
In my mind I hear the souee
Souee here pig pig pig pig

Murderer, terror, killer, terror
Filthy, I'm filthy
I'm filthy swine and I'm filthy

Don't read the writing
Well come up and you will see

Untrue

Where Have you been? I've been here. Waiting anticipating, coping with tears.
Where have you been?
You've been untrue, I've seen it before and I see it again. Its quite clear now
Your phone rang all night. I wanited here. Waiting anticipating, coping with fear.
Where have you been?
You've been untrue. I've seen it before and I see it again
You can't stop me you know who I am. This justifies now just what I am.
You crucify me won't lay by my side.
And now you'll need me until I die. Guess what I'm dead
You've been untrue. I've seen it before and I see it again
You can't stop me you know who I am. This justifies now just what I am.
You crucify me won't lay by my side.
And now you'll need me until I die. Guess what I'm dead

Tyler's Song

Go son. If you get up but they slap you around.
Then just remember that i will always be there.
When I say to you daddy love you understand.
I'm out in the real world again I'm trying.
Raise your gaurd again. They dont't give a damn.
Don't compormise your ideals for anyone else.
Respect your mom and always think of her first.
When I say to you daddy loves you understand.
I'm out in the real world again I'm trying.
Raise your gaurd again. They dont't give a damn.
Son, if the son don't shine. I'll try like hell to make light fromt he dark.
Son if the sun dont shine. I'll try like hell to make light from the dark for you.
Raise your gaurd again. They don't give a damn. Go son.

What's In Your Mind?

Creature do the ones you hurt come into the dreams your schemes
of ripping these lives apart who screwed you.
For me it's love of chase. For me it's can't create. If it's simply covered say to one another.
What's in your mind in your mind in your mind that tells you.
Sadness speaks so softly so gently we move through as if eloquently show remorse.
Installment of what is left. Installment of what is true.
If it's simply covered say to one another.
What's in your mind in your mind in your mind that tells you.
In your mind you know it makes you do what you do.
In your head in your filthy in your head of this mind. In my mind in my head that makes me do what I do.
In your mind in your head that makes you do this too.
Creature do the ones you hurt come into the dreams your schemes
of ripping these lives apart who screwed you.
For me it's love of chase. For me it's can't create.
If it's simply covered say to one another.
What's in your mind in your mind in your mind that tells you (she go).
What's in your fuckin' head?

Shock the Monkey

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, Darling please
Hey
Monkey, Monkey, Monkey
Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey
Hey hey

Fox the fox
Rat on the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take anymore
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Hey
Monkey, Monkey, Monkey
Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey
Hey hey
Shock the monkey
Hey

Monkey - Wheels keep turning
Monkey - Something's burning
Monkey - Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock (x4)
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please

Hey
Monkey - Too much at stake
Monkey - Ground beneath me shake
Monkey - And the news is breaking

Shock (x4)

Burgundy

Did you say make it rain for you.
I'd make it storm with a wind like you've never seen before. So sick I couldn't cure your sores.
I built a snowman for you. And watched it melt all summer long in front me me.
Endlessly I couldn't cure your sores.
What have you done for me lately?
Did you say move that mountain for you.
I'd spread the wings of lime and make it all but crumble away today.
If we could watch it together decay. And when you said to enlighten me.
I thought I had and now that you understand.
One hand washes the other there's nothing more to discover.
What have you done for me lately? Tell me.
What have you done for me lately? Tell me.

Entwined

Could we please shut our mouths for a while. For only just a while I could take it.
And if we could lay alone for a while. For only just a while I could take it.
You have made me alright complete again. Always willing to break down my will again.M
I intend to render my sensibilities have all gone mad.
You tend to talk about the better things. Then let's move on to better things.
I'm using all my sensibilities.
Would you please assume that face. The one that you make at me.
And if we could mae love for a while. For only just a while, God, I need it I need it.
You have made me alright complete again. Always willing to break down my will again.
I intend to render my sensibilities have all gone wild.
You tend to talk about the better things. Then let's move on to better things.
I'm using all my sensibilities.
If we could get caught in the moment. Get caught in the moment. Our senses run dry.
I would sacrifice mself for you. If we could get caught in the moment.

My Mercy

When i die
i'll die with my mercy, when she cries
i'll cry with her, in my life
see i've loved an angel
my mercy my mercy
in such glance, the softest of skin
what's dripping, is paper thin
remember oils, those visions of plenty
oh this memory, how it still haunts me
we are love
we are love
when i die, i'll die with my mercy
and when she cries, i'll cry with her
and in my life, see i've loved an angel
my mercy eternal to me
we are love, we are made of many
we are two, we are made of few
you take my love, and left me to plan it
you will never understand, what shade
i will die for my mercy, can't you see
eternally eternally
we are love, we are made of many
we are two, we are made of few

No Home

No home. This is not any form of home.
home home is where the heart is.
no home no heart.
no home no heart.
this your viewing room.
your room no view.
nothing seen nothing heard.
your home no heart.
shut up i'll kick you out.
shut up i'll do you in.
this your trap, your crap.
this is not my thing.
no soul no heart.
no home no heart.
shut up i'll kick you out.
shut up i'll do you in.
our wounds heal slowly. they grow into mold me. home.
can you trust me?
I've lived here for so long.
I wont change. so long sometimes.
can we just be enemies?

Shari Vegas

That guilt you've denied will only defeat you.
So stay clean for me cause that's what you should do.
That gaze in your eyes remember when you died.
etch that memory for the next sunrise.
so pleased to meet you Shari.
I've come clean so change the scenery. I've come clean to Shari Vegas.
Lackluster love affair has left you so jaded.
these rings around your eyes they make you look faded.
come say to me that you'll live one more day.
for that my friend for that will pray.
so pleased to meet you Shari.
I've come clean so change the scenery. I've come clean to Shari Vegas.
what's worth keeping you'll receive. exit only let them see.

Anything But You

sweetened possesive farce. our saints become sparce.
and now its an option to be transparent. so in your heart that it's inherant.
now that you've found your wings(you want to fly).
now that I've done those things(you've said goodbye).
It would be ample if only you'd trample. what you could not choke in life.
Choke Choke Choke Choke.
now that you've sold your soul. what was the human toll?
and oh your sacrifice(your sacrifice).
? and oh what my human vice(you were).
It would be ample if only you'd trample. what you could not choke in life.
Choke Choke Choke Choke.
I could be anyone. I could be anything except for you.
except for you. anything except for you.
no, anything to be a lie it didnt rain twice.
the clouds are over my head but i'm not dead yet.
I could be anyone. I could be anything except for you.
except for you. anything except for you
