Gone
Never home to fulfill her needs
Is it over?
Distance feeds anxiety
Is it over?
Another town I cry and hug my knees
Is it over?
The distance grows
I want to come back home
Another day away another fight you face alone
Im gone
I'd like to save you from the pain, a thousand miles away
Im gone
Mother's due for deadly news
Is it over?
Another night, medication and tubes
Is it over?
I wish Id never seen cancer
I'd die just to find that answer
Is it over?
The distance grows
Her heartbeat's slow
I cant take this anymore
It wont be long
Keep holding strong
Salem
Where does your misfortune grow?
From a humble house, with a cross burning slow?
You fear she will challenge your throne
So you dig the dirt and its selling like gold
10 fingers 10 toes point, but not a damn one back at you
It's your fault you fall apart
The problem is in you
Burn the witch
Or stone and rope to bind her soul
Sink or swim
And watch the truth drown below
You search the hills, swift and true
Look outside yourself, for it cannot be you
The town gathers and slander ensues
Not long til shes cursed, not long til shes through
You've done the work of a saint, but with the devil's hand
With cauldron gossip you pray, to restore this land
Holy and dead, holy and dead
Remember the plank?
You've got a tree instead
This will all be over soon
She's melting through
But your dark clouds still remain
So grab another one without a name
Fat Kid
Once upon a time
I survived by eating my way through life
Bruised from head to toe to ego
This abuse is getting old
But it's okay,
I'm that kid that's just a little overweight
So I eat to ease the pain, but one day
I'm gonna rule the world, steal your girl
Not bad, not bad for a fat kid
But Im okay, It wont be too long until I have my way
I'll make being fat such the rave today
Dance, Dance, Dance
Everybody at the party come on
Dance, Dance, Dance
Everybody at the party raise your fists
This is our chance
Help me now, Ive lived in fear for years
Loved by no one And its not fair-
Weather friends, this is the end, you'll see
Thin was in, but now its out, and fat is what its all about
(Whatcha gonna do fat
boy?)
(Whatcha gonna
do?)
Waiting On Rain
Broke and broken child
Veiled to the eyes of humanity
She is left wanting
She is left with nothing
She is nothing
Tonight she cries
Evanescent to indifferent eyes
Tonight she screams to the sky
Waiting on rain to come
Wash away
I dont ask for a break of day
Boy that hides his tears
Silent scars and poison tongues that stain his skin
Shaded world sees black and white
Chained to ancient walls
Sad world cant be colorblind
Tonight he cries
Evanescent to indifferent eyes
Tonight he screams the sky
I send a vicious scream on dying wings to you
Sent to heaven straight from hell
I dont ask for a break of day
Just pour the rain
The Cleansing
I smell your rot a mile behind
You've destroyed these lives so I
Have made your grave with the dogs
By grace our paths have crossed
And all tolerance is lost
What is the price on your head?
I'll take it with these hands
Rip flesh from bone and claim what we own
For every generation there comes a time
To join the gray or become what is right
You stayed in shadows and preyed on the blind
You're cyanide
Father, You know Im seeking honor
Wanting life for my brothers
I will fight, the ones who stole the sun and left us night
They're cyanide
Father guide my hands
And I will cleanse this land
End the enemy
The innocent be freed
You and me
I fight for fathers' daughters, sons and mothers
Raped and murdered, bound and tied
You came inside
You took their lives
Yeah I pray...I pray you die
So I will fight the decadence that leeches our innocence
Theyre cyanide
Blue and Gold
Phone call, Sunday afternoon
Springtime, this flowers lost its bloom
I was not there, and it is not fair
Your innocence and youth
Carried you this far
Just to be removed
And tonight, the stars will shine
And fill my life, youve left me behind
She's walking through the blue and the gold, the new and the old
With the ancient Father, of every daughter
I know that we'll make it through this night
Dreaming, a panoramic view
Canvas memories, bring me back to you
We lived and laughed, we lived so fast
I cant stand to see the truth
Now your masterpiece
It paints the news
Fell In Love With a Ghost
It's the season for reasons to justify treason
You're leaving and letting me die alone
The spirits you wear show the sins that you bear
With every drink you are letting me go
I'm the one that pays
Go
Let me let you
Go
Set me free
You're the ghost in my mind
Thorn in my side
Sober in my dreams, you're dead in real life
What goes through my mind
Is how you used to be so alive
And now youre fighting just to put the bottle down
Put that bottle down
Sleep tonight
Close your eyes
Sing your dirge
Say good night
While youve been sleeping
I've been dreaming
Of a life without repeating
The same old suicide
Round and round we'd ride
So you'll be sleeping
I'll be leaving
Six feet under wake up screaming
One day you will know
You were dead, I had to go
The Few Not Fleeting
I was born to walk on water
I came to be the few not fleeting
I still bleed like any other
I came to be the few not fleeting
My bodys numb and my will breaks
Head immersed beneath the waves
Sky's light begins to fade
It's the end they'd say
Eyes dilate
Spot of suns not too far away
Hope is not lost I must hold on
I am only a man
But I will be more, more than I am
Fighting I will stand
I am one against a sea that runs
Our scars bind us as brothers
I came to be the few not fleeting
Define what makes a man, its how we stand when we suffer
I came to be the few not fleeting
There's no escape from the gale's rise
Though fear in my heart, there's a fire in my eyes
It seems that everything in the stars and the sky is against me
I wont go without a fight
I'll breathe in hope and bathe in light
Bullets and Blue Eyes
These dark and cloudy ideas are grounding my head down
With bullets and blue eyes, and a white flag disguise
Pull up the sheets and sing me back to sleep
What would you say?
What would you do if I told you our love was through?
If I walked out the door, left your heart on the floor?
I'm tired of holding my breath for countless days now
I bet youre someone you cannot recognize
Can you look yourself in the eyes?
What would you say?
What would you do if I told you our love was through?
If I walked out the door, left your heart on the floor?
If you were to stay, what would you change?
What would you do to prove?
Could you die to yourself just to love someone else?
Hold me, Hold me, Hold me, closer
You never hold me when youre sober
To hell with our love
You drink the blood
And I'll drink the wine
Love?
I caught you
But you wanted the stars
Did I not shine?
I showed you you
You showed me me
And this is how love is supposed to be
I'm waiting for you, waiting
I'll be here,
Please change your mind and come home tonight
I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down
I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out
I can sing it all night long
But you never listen when I sing this song
Lie to me
And try to make me believe
That I can save you, unchain you
From your mind that takes, cause your heart wont break
And this is how love is supposed to be?
You said it best
Logic will break your heart
You dont know it yet
It's torn your world apart
Do you always run
When the stakes are getting high?
If loving you is the death of me
Then now's the time to die
Goodbye to you baby
Goodbye
I'm not waiting
I've made up my mind, don't come home tonight
I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down
I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out
I can sing it all night long
But you didn't listen when I sang this song
It Seems...
Alone in the room, TV on
Like the white screen his life's gone
A moving shell, a wandering ghost
A shadow of a man who nobody knows
He hardly speaks when you say his name
He's just embarrassed to say
Anything to anyone
In his mind there's no way out
He said he wants to die
He wonders how anyone survives
Being overlooked and trite
As seasons change
And trees grow bare
His reflection's a stranger
Back it won't stare
It's like everybody else
Just too busy for his simple self
He walks 13 blocks to the city's cross
Puts dust on his knees
Prays for a god that doesn't leave
It's lonely here in hell
He prays to be somebody else
In his mind there's no way out
In the sand he sinks to his knees
Mobile world around, just out of reach
Tears rolling down his cheeks
He has to believe, believe in himself
Put up, hold out
Break down, scream loud
Wave fists, and shout
It's done
It's done
Now stand tall, prove all
Push on, now you see
It's your life, It's your fight
Live free, don't hide
You've got to believe
