you say i seem so grim
darling do you forgive me
i went out on a limb
cause i needed to be
near the fireflies flying high above me
then i hit the sky and it fell down on me
you said it wasn't sharp but i cut my finger
you said it just wouldn't burn and i scarred my face
you know i bite my nails my skin and my fingers
and i've heard that's my liver my nerves and my brain
i said i just like to bite on my f**in fingers
do you have another intelligent answer for me today
you said it wasn't sharp but i cut my finger
you said it just wouldn't burn and i scarred my face
you said it just wasn't there when it fell down on me
well i'm just a son of a b*tch no matter what you say
i lost my trust in you
you were dangerous and scary
and you poisoned me with the fruits everyone was intrigued by
and i finally got buried
you said i won't forget and i don't remember and
you said i'm something i'm not and i fell on my face
you said i wouldn't rot but worms are crawling on me
i'm just a son of a b*tch no matter what you say
You know I did something right.
Something that keeps me alive.
Oh you sweet little babies.
When you came you let me know.
I was finally happy.
You knew me before now didn't you.
God you're so lovely.
Did you come here to help me.
And I know you can't sleep well.
Unless I'm right there next to you.
Oh you take care of mommy too.
You're so quick to defend me aren't you.
God you're so lovely yes you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
And I'm gonna try to teach you.
Know you're everything to me.
Know you have to learn and try.
Please don't fear to lose me.
You know I have those same fears too.
God you're so lovely yeah you are.
You came here to save me didn't you.
You came here to teach me.
Ooh and I'm gonna try to teach you.
Little man and a lady.
So handsome and pretty.
Sometimes don't listen to your mamma no.
It kind of looks like we won't make it, my friend.
And it looks like you can't take it again, my friend.
And all the pretty roses wilted up and paled themselves away today.
The guillotine of truth has fallen, somehow I'm the one you blame.
This can't be happening.
Not so fast, I'm so mean.
I can't stay indifferent.
Because I know the outcome.
And I'm the target for the daggers.
That the truth's thrown your way, today.
And the next one maybe she'll be easier.
She'll make it go away, hey.
She's still calling you.
I'm still calling him.
Can we do this.
Here we go again.
The package.
The baggage.
This can't be happening.
Not so fast, I'm so mean.
I can't stay indifferent.
Because I know the outcome.
This can't be happening.
It started out not so clean.
You chose your path.
Can you bring me another
I'm not there yet
Do I seem to remember
How much 'til I forget
Ooh, I can't get high enough, lighten up, nice enough
Can you hear me now
'Cuz I'm not doing fine
I'm drowning in my mind again
Oh why does what I've done
Takes so much to disappear
Can I, ooh, can I stand up
Help me from this chair
I was the life of the party
Or so you tell me
Ooh, I can't get high enough, lighten up, nice enough
Can you hear me now
'Cuz I'm not doing fine
I'm drowning in my mind again
Oh, why - ooh, does earth turn
Take so much to disappear
Can you hear me now
'Cuz I'm not doing fine
I'm drowning in my mind again
Can you hear me now
'Cuz I'm not doing fine
I'm drowning in my mind again
Can you hear me now
No, I'm not doing fine
I'm drowning in my mind again
Can you hear me now
No, I'm not doing fine
One day well on one tombstone
All our names should go
We shared a life
The beauty and the ugliness
Through all we've been and with
The birth of a child
CHORUS
Thanks for throwing me the line when I've lost sight of it
You're the only reason I can exhale
And now, suddenly, oh, when I find that the outcome's just not right
From what I just did
You're the only thing I can breathe through
You're heaven, my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry
It may be laughable, but thanks for laughing with me
Yes, and the next time I wrap myself around a tree
And I know that you'll be there with bells on
Yeah, to pull me off
CHORUS
And you can tell me a story I've heard before
I was such a motherfucker then
And you didn't tell me where to go
CHORUS (x2)
You were a million miles behind
And I was crying every time I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn
I didn't know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn
Was that bridge I was crossing
Somewhere I stopped walking
I guess I fell off on my own
I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis
Except for the one I'm stumbling down
And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well it's all there I guess
Well, what do we have here Daddy.
The lights are quickly changing.
Will I leave your heart along with the phone lines you're erasing.
A spineless ending.
Well, who would have guessed dear daddy.
Turned out to be a coward.
When I turned my back you cut my throat it bled for hours.
Was that your power.
You, you're the lovely victim again.
You, well your heart is breaking.
You are the only one let down.
Are you really now.
Well, soon here we'll have dear Daddy with the next one on her knees.
And she's gonna call him daddy like the rest of them, like me.
How easy it will be Replacing me.
And what's that I hear now Daddy you're blaming it all on me.
Another she did you wrong and of course you had to leave.
And the yes men will agree.
You gave it everything.
You with the advisors in your ear.
You did everything right it's clear.
I know I begged you to stay around.
But I'm gone now.
Well, here's to you my darling leave.
You're stubborn and you're free and of course, right.
I don't respect the way you leave.
You can be no friend to me.
Dreams of contemplation, a resignation, know what.
Useless indignation, a segregation, plant your seed.
Steamless conversation, what is happening to me.
I'm no longer your erection, or your congregation, I'm your disease.
You take the sun.
You have your fun but you better beware.
You better beware.
You broke it down.
With that boring sound you gave to me.
That I don't want to hear.
You're in some blind elation, a kind of delusion,
you don't get through to me.
Deliver your equation and still you won't see a change in me.
You want my redemption, you want me to believe that it's all me.
Well, I'm no longer your erection, or your congregation, I'm your disease.
You take the sun.
You have your fun but you better beware.
You better beware.
You broke it down.
With that boring sound you gave to me.
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
I do, I do
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
I love you
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
I love you
I do, I do
But I told here why we just can't make it
I want you still but just can't take it
The time has come we oughta break it
Someone has to pay the price
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
It's over
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
It's over
It's true, It's true
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
It's over
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh
It's over
It's true, It's true
And I think of times we were togheter
As time went on it seemed forever
But times have changed, now things are better
Someone had to pay the price
And I think of times we were togheter
As time went on it seemed forever
But times have changed, now things are better
Unidentified flying object in space
If I were identified you couldn't make me your race
You never understood me and I'd have to applaud
It's lonely out here alone but I can't be what I'm not
You can be all the writing on the wall
That you want
I'll be the line across it
But I'll blow your mind
I'll blow your mind
And all the others can shine
But not like I can shine
You could have set me free
If you'd eased up on the line
It's supposed to be quiet
But it's loud in this sky
I'll take care of the vultures with a glass of wine
You can be all the writing on the wall
That you want
I'll be the line across it
But I'll blow your mind
I'll blow your mind
You can be all the writing on the wall
That you want
I'll be the line across it
But I'll blow your mind
One day on one tombstone, all our names should go
We shared a life
The beauty and the ugliness
Through all the pain and death
Birth of a child
CHORUS
Thanks for throwing me the line
When I've lost sight of it
You're the only reason I can exhale
And now suddenly, oh, when I find
That the outcome's just not right
From what I just did
You're the only thing I can breathe through
And here my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry
It may be laughable, but thanks for laughing with me
And here's to the next time I wrap myself around a tree
I know that you'll be there with bells on
Yeah, to pull me off
CHORUS
You can tell me a story I've heard before
I'll insult your mother
Then you can tell me where to go
When I left and I said goodbye
Did you know that I meant it, mmmm, that time?
I guess that I didn't quite realize
What I was saying goodbye to - whoa, just yet
The only asphalt to pave my way - that was you
And damn it if I didn't try to do
Everything that I was supposed to
And now - what do I do now?
Oh, I don't know cuz I'm still leaving
Now - who's gonna save me next time?
Oh, not you - ooh, for the first time
And the road to get to the other side of your rainbow
It wasn't for me - oh, I guess
I couldn't live - not according to your path
Not happily, at least
But damn it if I didn't give it a damn good shot
At least to try and be
And what do I do now
Oh, I don't know cuz I'm still leaving
And now - who's gonna save me next time?
No, not you - ooh, for the first time
But somehow I'll be alright
Somehow I'll be alright, ooh
When I left and I said goodbye
Did you know that I meant it that time?
And damn it if I didn't try to do
Everything that I was supposed to
And now - what do I do now?
Oh, I don't know
Oh, I'm leaving
And now, who's gonna save me next time?
Oh, won't be you
Ooh, for the first time
But somehow I'll be alright
Please remember me forever
Believe in me as someone
Who's never gonna wish you well
I'm gonna tell you what I think about you in that unforgivable way I do
You're an idiot
And I hate your guts
I guess I'm about as happy for you as I would be a cockroach in my food
I know it's terrible
I really hate you though
Do you have your fairytale lie
Or are you dancing to the white trash twist
Oh please remember me
Believe in me as someone
Who's never gonna wish you well
I heard the thing that you hate about me almost everyday, but you still wouldn't leave
I had to pull the plug
Ooh, I hated your guts
And I heard the opposite of love isn't hate
It's indifference
But I can't relate
It's not good enough
Cuz I hate your guts
Did you settle your mediocre mind
You had the fine wine you're better off with Bud Light
Oh please remember me
Believe in me as someone
Who's never gonna wish you well
Oh please remember me
Believe in me as someone
Who wants you to go to hell
You're raining, you're boring
Oh, did you hear me snoring?
I'd wanna mutilate myself when I talk to you
So here we are, I hope you can tell that I'm no referral
You can have 'em, call hell
You're gonna drive 'em nuts
Theres so much to offer so much to throw away
The ever present darker side is making you color blind.
But luckily my blinded one I know you and not what you've done
Not what you've done
You beautiful soul
When you go a feeling that chokes
when you go a feeling that soaks
When you go away Into the unknown
When you go you break my heart
Dont you go cause its chokes it chokes
Given all you are inside a shaft of light
that you can't hide
But an idle mind will dominate and feel all the demons steak
When you walk around a old
street Where you lived and who you were then
You can have it again
Everthings not broke when you goa feeling
that chokes when you go a feeling that soaks
when you go you go away
Into the unknown when you go you break my
heart dont you go cause its chokes it chokes
When you go a feeling that chokes
When you go a feeling that soaks.
When you go you go away, into the unknown
When you go you break my heart
Dont you go cause its chokes it chokes
Its a fever that soaks you go away
Into the unknown Into the unknown
When you go you break
Imagine that I can't be comforted at all
In pieces I went from crawling into a ball
Evidence, it's in my breathing every day
Less and less and less
Hey you - you wore me out
There was nothing left for anybody else
Listen you, you're the last little shit that anyone expected
Could put me through this
Yeah it's true
Turbulence, auto pilot to control
Down and down and down
And if he's there then I'll take my order to go
He shouldn't see, He shouldn't know
Hey you - you wore me out
There was nothing left for anybody else
And you, you're the last little shit that anyone expected
Could put me through this
Yeah fucker it's true
And over there in the corner of the room
Sat little Jack Horner in his gloom
Oh how you like it there
Na na na na na
Hey you- you slithered around while you ripped every vein out
And you - your once so charming self inflicted tortured act
It's a loser and a poser's tool
Hey you - you wore me out
There was nothing left for anybody else
And you, you're the last little shit that anyone expected
Could put me through this
Yeah fucker it's true
Imagine that
Out on the road between nowhere and hell
I caught a glimpse of my reflection in you
But they can't believe I still want you around
Hung on the line between addiction and this
I can't believe you said I hurt you again
But I can't afford to let you get away
And I cannot take the darkness when you stay
You're all I see
And it's definitely my fault
You're all I see
But don't come near me at all
How many roads between your world and mine
How many broken doors and how many fights
I changed my furniture to make you go away
I'm still overwhelmed at how much space you take
You're all I see
And it's definitely my fault
You're all I see
But don't come near me at all
And I can't have you right now
And I can't get it right now
And I can't have you right now
And I can't get it right now
You're all I see
And it's definitely my fault
You're all I see
But don't come near me at all
This is definitely my fault
Hung on the line between addiction and this
This is a drag, that it's too late now
And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong
I didn't realize I still hold on to you
But I still do
Was it that I turned everyone against you?
Was it that I didn't defend you?
Was it that I never had your back?
No, no was that I was always tryin' to save you?
And you never wanted me to
Or was it that I loved you?
You don't seem to see me sinkin' in, do you?
You're not content in your own head, are you?
You just want to kick me once again, don't you?
Don't you baby? Don't you baby?
Did it again
I don't stop payin'
You don't look so good to me, my friend
Is it because of me I really left this time?
Did you ever say goodbye?
Was it that I had a crush on your friend?
Was it that I left for another man?
Was it that I didn't know?
No, no you were in over your head and I
Didn't see what I had, did I?
No, I didn't and uh
You don't seem to see me sinkin' in, do you?
You're not content in your own head, are you?
You just wanna kick me once again, don't you?
Don't you baby? Don't you baby?
Was it that everyone would just kiss my ass?
I couldn't see through it and you could
Yeah now look what's come of us here ten years later?
I jump from one to the other
You're still worryin' an' your mother
And I almost went under baby
You don't seem to see me sinkin' in, do you?
You're not content in your own head, are you?
You just wanna kick me once again, don't you?
Don't you baby? Don't you baby?
You don't seem to see me sinkin' in, do you?
You're not content in your own head, are you?
You just wanna kick me once again, don't you?
Don't you baby? Don't you baby?
Maybe if I liked being alone I could give you your life back and let you go.
Maybe if I got it together again I wouldn't be belligerent and such a princess.
Maybe the reason I'm so needy is because I never had real devotion.
Maybe I criticized your loyalty because it wasn't given to me.
Do you know who I am.
It's me in here with the doctor and the crowd around me.
They are my chosen family.
I guess I'm important, but what about them standing there they can't get in.
They're smiling at me, I guess they're used to this.
Maybe I'll stop wondering when I'm gonna die.
Maybe then I'll stop holding so hard to my life.
Maybe next time I see my reflection my mind won't be with me.
Maybe my brutal honesty is only because I can get away with it.
Maybe I'll squash you relentlessly because you tried to crush me.
Please get out of my way I don't like fucking waiting.
You need to bring me my food first I'm not the one you want to starve.
Maybe you think you're my friend.
Maybe one day you'll give a shit about what I am.
I guess you're not important, but what about you standing there you can't get in.
Savior, savior
Save me once again
Savior, savior
Save me from myself
You disappear to walk alone I fear
If only to erase the trace of you here
Once again, you have betrayed me
Yes my friend, you drained me
Only then, will you embrace me
Only then, did I call out
Savior, savior
Save me once again
Savior, savior
Save me from myself
I'm the one that always cleaned your wounds
I wiped your brow
And told you were more than what they saw
Sacrificed myself until you knew you could believe
If you were me and breathed the air I breathe
Would you not ask in vain for God to bring you peace
Once again, you will betray me
Yes my friend, you will drain me
Only then, will you embrace me
Once again, I'll call out
Savior, you will betray me
Once again, you'll drain me
Savior, will you embrace me
Boat rocking
Trouble maker
Non conforming shit starter
With the rebel DNA pirate spirit
Headache
It took me all my life
To finally figure out
That I'm not in the mood
To be anything like you
And maybe it's alright
And maybe not
I'll conduct my choir
I'll figure it out
Truth seeker
Big bullshit detector
The point is made but not well recieved
Plastic flowers whatever
Behave
It took me all my life
To finally figure out
That I'm not in the mood
To be anything like you
And maybe it's alright
And maybe not
I'll conduct my choir
I'll figure it out
And I, you know I tell the truth
Even if you wanna shut your mind
And I'm so alive
I'll just stick with my own kind
It took me all my life
To finally figure out
That I'm not in the mood
To be anything like you
And maybe it's alright
And maybe not
I'll conduct my choir
I'll figure it out
I'll figure it out
Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me
Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home will never be
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due
And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow
Time everlasting
Time to play besides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's
right
I've seen signs of what freezing their eyes went
through
Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
Lay down the law, don't make a sound
Just critical, just going down
I don't belong, I've lost the plot
Not gullible, can't be what I'm not
You can think that I'm evil and I'm off the rails
You ain't seen nothin' yet
If I don't get with your system then I'm sure to fail
Well you ain't seen nothin' yet
Lay down the truth, don't make a sound
Just a piece of fruit who's hit the ground
I don't respond, I've lost the plot
Unethical, not what I thought
You can think that I'm evil and I'm off the rails
You ain't seen nothin' yet
I'm a bit transgressive and suppressive as well
Well you ain't seen nothin' yet
Am I a disruption to your corruption?
You ain't seen nothin' yet
You can think that I'm evil and I'm off the rails
You ain't seen nothin' yet
If I don't get with your system then I'm sure to fail
You ain't seen nothin' yet
No longer elated, now you're frustrated
You ain't seen nothin' yet
You can think that I'm evil and I'm off the rails
You ain't seen nothin' yet
If I don't get with your system then I'm sure to fail
Well you ain't seen nothin' yet
You can think that I'm evil and I'm off the rails
You ain't seen nothin' yet
I'm a bit transgressive and suppressive as well
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Tell me tell me did you think you'd catch me
Did you think that if you watched me
Id be just like the rest of them
Did you think that you could mold me scold me
Did you think that you could own me, yeah
Did you think that you could put a saddle on me
Show me ride me cloud me warn me you could control me
Tell me did you think Id fit you like a bonnet with a little flower on it
Or a tear inside your sonnet
So much unspoken it will never be heard by you
Can you take it back
Can you make it go away
Wish I never knew this
I did everything you said
It all just turned to black
And I cant do this
Did you like the voodoo that I put now on you
When I slither in my closet, sweat vengeance like a faucet.
Was I the only monkey junkie flunky who turned out to disappoint you
honey
Yeah I am
Did I stop computer porn cause you didn't turn me on
No I didn't
Did I get tired of your **** and give you my ****ing lip, yeah I did
Are my unheard objections invalid to you
Can you take it back
Can you make it go away
Wish I never knew this
I did everything you said
It all just turned to black
And I cant do this
Ill stay on the freeway of the damned souls now
Wish I never knew this
The address that you gave me was too overrated
I cant do this
Tell me tell me did you think you'd catch me
Did you think that if you watched me
Id be just like the rest of them
Can you take it back
Can you make it go away
Wish I never knew this
I did everything you said
It all just turned to black
And I cant do this
Ill stay on the freeway of the damned souls now
Wish I never knew this
The address that you gave me was too overrated
If you can't even stop the symptoms
Then why in the hell do you drug the children
The others can make their own decisions
And with some help from you they become dependant
You know, you're sorry 'cause you let 'em down
But you become a big part of their lives, yeah
They always trust you but they're dyin' out
I've seen the things you do it blows my mind
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Give a pill
I swear
An' there's a doctor on every campus now
And he's gonna tell you what you're feeling
Momma wants you to swallow this down
It's gonna make you sit still and listen
I'm sorry children, you don't have the choice
Your parents they gave you somethin' way back when
There's nothin' wrong with you it's easier
To give you this then you won't embarrass them
If there is something wrong take an antidepressant, yeah
You can even choose which kind you want by the latest suicide
You should be sorry 'cause you let 'em down
But you become a big part of their lives, lives
They always trust you but they're dyin' out
The things you do it blows my fuckin' mind, yeah
This is a drag that it's too late now.
And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong.
I didn't realize I still hold on to you but I still do.
Was it that I turned everyone against you.
Was it that I didn't defend you.
Was it that I never had your back.
Was it that I was always trying to save you and you never wanted me to.
Or was it that I loved you.
You don't seem to see me sinking in do you.
You're not content in your own head are you.
You just want to kick me once again don't you.
Don't you baby.
I did it again.
I don't stop paying.
You don't look so good to me my friend.
Is it because of me I really left this time.
Did you ever say goodbye.
Was it that I had a crush on your friend.
Was it that I left for another man.
Was it that I didn't know.
That you were in over your head and I didn't see what I had did I.
No, I didn't and uh.
Was it that everyone would just kiss my ass.
I couldn't see through it and you could.
And now look what's come of us here ten years later.
I jump from one to the other, you're still worrying your mother.
And as the raven flies she feels unwelcome
She's fallen out of her tree and caught on a limb of silver lining
Her wings uncertain oh but she's still flying
Yeah little Raven I see you there
Hold your head up now
I won't try and pull your feathers out I promise
Go on dry your eyes
You know that I've forgiven you and I'm sorry
And everything till now
It wasn't that bad really
Beautiful lady
Why don't you fly with me
We'll have a chat and a cup of tea
And a long lost need to see who's really there
And you'll finally be okay with me
And I'll hear your stories
That fill your sad eyes
When you had raven hair
Hold your high up high
I know that I've been ruthless
I've been ruthless
Go on dry your eyes
You know that I've forgiven you and I'm sorry
And everything till now
It wasn't that bad really
Beautiful lady
Go on dry your eyes
Hey you finally see me - hi
And I see you
And everything till now
It wasn't that bad really
Beautiful lady
Go on dry your eyes
You know that I've forgiven you and I'm sorry
And everything till now
It wasn't that bad really
I heard broken footsteps
Was that you limping
Well I wish I that could have spent just a little bit more time with you...yeah
Tears on my ceiling
Weren't you watching
Well I guess that none of us will ever know what comes after this
You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it
I know your resemblence
Um it's out there walkin'
And I wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten
When they try to make you look broken
Not while I'm livin'
But I wanted you to know that I heard what you said when it was rainin'
You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it
You made me
I love you
And do you know nothing has changed
Now everyone they notice it
Everyone notices
You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it
You made me
I love you
And do you know that nothing has changed
Now everyone they notice it
There should be an answer
For all of this my friend
All your doubts and questions
Are so appropriate
Like can you live
Can you feel
Should you stay
I strain, for words I just can't say,
For words I just can't say
If I could write a letter with
The perfect thing to say
I'd give a damn good reason,
I'd assure you it's okay
And that you can live
That you can feel
That you can stay
I wouldn't strain for words I just can't say
For words I just can't say
How do you fly this plane
How do you fly this plane
Can it be it will get better
And weigh less on your mind
Will you be okay, will you one day find
That you can live
That you can stay
Words I just can't say
Words I just can't say
If words could make it better,
I'd say them everyday
I'd flash bright lights upon them
And neon lights that say
You can live
You will be okay
That you should stay,
I wouldn't strain for words I just can't say
For words I just can't say
You can fly this plane
You can fly this plane
It's finally winter and I'm so happy
I do better in the cold
I like the friends who don't try to save me
I've been trying that too long
What did I just say can you tell me
Sorry I do that a lot
Did you know I broke up my family
And the guilt is never gone
Mister did you
Say something to me
Were you there this whole time
Please excuse me
You know there's some who really hate me
Hey you know that's a unique dog
You have a nice smile want some candy
Some people say that I have too much
I had a good feeling when I woke up
But I missed it 'cause I was sleeping
Did you know I broke up my family
Oh the guilt it's really killing me
Mister did you
Say something to me
Were you there this whole time
Please excuse me
Mister did you
Say something to me
And were you there that whole time
Excuse me
Mister did you
Say something to me
And were you there that whole time
Well please excuse me
You flourish in your disciples bringing
You pleasure in so many masturbated ways
Until you’ve simply no use for them any more
And then they will remain and suffer in your
Concentrated haze
Devotion you seek from them is the starvation
And abolishment of their little souls
But you escape all responsibility in that
Because of course you were the one (yeah of course)
Who was hurt more
All the ones who dared to cross paths
Seen your rabid dog bait
And it’s funny how it’s always the same
Old familiar story
You no longer hold that power
You’re letting in a man gone sour
It’s too bad you ever let me in
Everyone around you their sick, their
On medication
Or they will finally lose their minds
They will always defend you and justify
Insanity like I did
Because you make them blind
Tell me were you honing in on me or
My protection
Because you considered I’d make a really
Good disciple
You no longer hold that power
You’re renting, how was I for the hour
It’s too bad you’re not who you were back then
Tell me were you honing in on me or
My protection
Because you considered I’d make a really
Good disciple
You no longer hold that power
Took me awhile but I have your number
It’s too bad I gave you myself then
You told them that you’re thinking about
Letting me back in
That I really want you, but you’re not sure yet
Are you insane?
I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam
in her eye
It's interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do "The Innuendo"
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
You are the most beautiful man
That I've ever known
Too much to offer
And too much held close to the bone
Just step on the breaks there
You got what it takes
You blow me away
Your storm and your grace
My heart can't seem to take it
Your storm and your grace
You have the most beautiful heart
That I've ever known
It kills me you can't ever show it
And a shell has been grown
But stop moving so fast there
Take your foot off the gas
You blow me away
Your storm and your grace
My heart can't seem to take it
Your storm and your grace
You blow me away
There was once a light inside of me
But lately I see that it's dimmed out slowly
And I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream
That what is happening, well it can't be really
And as I go along I'm finding the ground below
You can get ripped out from under your feet
The light around you turned out blinding
The darkness a more honest place to be
And I want to find in me that I can still believe
And be forgiving
Yes, I want to be like you
Can you teach me how to be forgiving
There was once a friend inside of me
But lately I see there's an enemy
I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream
What is happening but no one hears me
And as I go along I'm finding
The friends I thought I had
They weren't good friends at all
No I don't really need reminding
I'm much too jaded and I'm much too cynical
And I want to find in me that I can still believe
And be forgiving
Yes, I want to be like you
Can you teach me how to be forgiving
Yes, I want to find in me that I can still believe
And be forgiving
Yes, I want to be like you
Can you teach me how to be forgiving
Yes, I want to find in me that I can still believe
And be forgiving
And, I want to be like you
There there hey now, what's this I'm hearing about
The butterfly flew into the ground
One too many nets around
And you go to him like a mosquito to skin
I see you want to be so close to the edge
And you're running, you're running, you're running without your feet
You believe oh there will be a ground
If you step over and you fall down
But there may not be
There there hey now, what's that you're talking about
Your cup runneth over and out
One too many cups around
And you're a mess, you want to confess
I see you want to be so close to the edge
And you're running, you're running, you're running without your feet
You believe oh there must be a ground
If you step over and you fall down
But there may not be
I wish there was something so profound that I could say
You know it's bad for you but you still want to do it anyway
And you go to him like a mosquito to skin
I see you want to be so close to the edge
And you're running, you're running, you're running without your feet
You believe oh there is a ground
If you step over and you fall down
So crucified and a self inflicted mess
And for the life of me I couldn't remember
When you weren't a regret
Were you here last night, we fell in love again
Or was it just a dream
I've never been that high as when we fell in love
That was not a dream
Un-crucified you came to visit
And for the life of me I, I could remember
That you were not a regret
Were you here last night, we fell in love again
Or was it just a dream
I've never been that high as when we fell in love
That was not a dream
If I told the truth, well you wouldn't believe me
You wouldn't believe me at all
I always thought that he never loved me
That he didn't love me at all
I was wrong
I was wrong
He loved me all along
I was wrong
If he told the truth
Then I would never believe him
I wouldn't believe him at all
He said he thought that I didn't love him
That I didn't love him anymore
But he was wrong
He was wrong
I loved him now he's gone
He was wrong
He was wrong
I loved him now he's gone
I've seen her face
.so good, it ain't nothing, babe!
I say she's cool and. back to Liberty...
I've seen the way you and she...
How she plays ... better than a...
Chorus:
Can it be you're over me?
She took my place, she saved the day
Others see you're over me
When she took my place, she saved the day!
I've seen that she laid
And did whatever you need
And how when she can bake that cake
I wouldn't bake
What a breath of fresh air
She is in my way
Chorus:
Can it be you're over me?
She took my place, she saved the day
Others see you're over me
When she took my place, she saved the day!
...be with my friends
Who to say I'm not...
You know there's very bad one
That was never your friend...
Chorus:
Can it be you're over me?
She took my place, she saved the day
Others see you're over me
When she took my place, she saved the day!
Lisa Marie Presley - Over me
I've seen her face
.so good, it ain't nothing, babe!
I say she's cool and. back to Liberty...
I've seen the way you and she...
How she plays ... better than a...
Chorus:
Can it be you're over me?
She took my place, she saved the day
Others see you're over me
When she took my place, she saved the day!
I've seen that she laid
And did whatever you need
And how when she can bake that cake
I wouldn't bake
What a breath of fresh air
She is in my way
Chorus:
Can it be you're over me?
She took my place, she saved the day
Others see you're over me
When she took my place, she saved the day!
...be with my friends
Who to say I'm not...
You know there's very bad one
That was never your friend...
Chorus:
Can it be you're over me?
She took my place, she saved the day
Others see you're over me
I watch you in the morning but you would never know
I watch you like a satellite though I let you go
I will be watching you, I know you're watching too
A whisper in the hallway corners of my mind
I hear you out there whispering but you can't read the signs,
I hear you whispering, I hope you're listening
I'm heartless
I'm heartless
I'm heartless again
I wish I'd been a runner so I could run from you
I made a million wishes but not one of them came true
I keep on wishing you, you keep on wishing too
I wait for resolution but it will never come
I want to wake up free of you not knowing where you've gone
But I won't let you through, why would I wait for you
I'm heartless
I'm heartless
I'm heartless again
Oh, nail it to your heartbeat, nail it to your soul
Oh, blame it on the surface, you don't need to know
I'm heartless
I'm heartless
When the well has no water to hold
And the wheels start to run off the road
Where do we go?
When we bury the embers that glow
And the seeds that we planted won't grow
Like we were told
Hey man, what in the hell do we know
We strike out and then we strike gold
Whoever is running the show
There's one thing that I need to know
Could you soften the blows
When a bold man's afraid to be bold
And a fish finds the water too cold
Where does he go?
When the liar finds the truth must be told
And the loner hates being alone
Who does he hold?
Hey man, what in the hell do we know
We strike out and then we strike gold
Whoever is running the show
There's one thing I'd like to be told
That you'll soften the blows
Never turn your back on the ocean and never talk back
Don't make those funny faces, your face could stick like that
Hey man, what in the hell do we know
We strike out and then we strike gold
Whoever is running the show
There's one thing I'd like to be told
That you'll soften the blows
I have to wonder what the hell I ever did to deserve this
Is it just me or are most people a drag and dishonest
I own up, I try
What am I not doing right
But sh*t it keeps on coming
Maybe I'm just missing something
I've got run over by my own parade
I've suffocated in the beds I've made
I've cut my feet on all the glass that I break
Still trying to find a way
To get what's broken
To un-break
Somewhere along the line I must have been a backstabbing liar
Maybe in another life I was a snake or vampire
I own up, I try
What am I not doing right
But sh*t it keeps on coming
Maybe I should change my plumbing
I've got run over by my own parade
I've suffocated in the beds I've made
I've sharpened teeth on all the daggers and blades
Still trying to find a way
To get what's broken
To un-break
I own up, I try
What am I not doing right
But sh*t it keeps on coming
Maybe I'm just missing something
I've got run over by my own parade
I've suffocated in the beds I've made
I've sharpened teeth on all the daggers and blades
Still trying to find a way
To get what's broken
So uneasy lay your head
on those weary shoulders
I wanted to unburden them
but you wouldn't let go
Too dirty to clean your hands
Too weary for sober
I was prescription then,
but the bottle ran out
Can you hear me now
While you sort it out
Don't get hung up here
Let's forgive each other
You can move on dear
You can move on dear
Too toxic for cleanse
Too many sins for confession
I would have been your Priestess
but I tripped on my robe
Now all the honey's in a hornet's nest
And ll the spiders, they spin their webs
Of all the colors that you knew they had
But you wanted to ignore
Can you hear me now
While you sort it out
Don't get hung up here
I will always love you
You can move on dear
You can move on dear
You can move on dear
It's been a long highway
Where do I get off and drive away
I'm looking for a sign that should say
When you've had enough, exit this way
If only I were a gopher now
I'd dig a hole and I'd not come out
And on the forecast for today
A storm of nails headed your way
Man it's gonna rain rain rain
And on my forehead does it say
Unleash all hounds of hell this way
Bite until she's lame lame lame
Too much on my plate
How much will it take before it breaks
I'm looking for a sign that should say when you get fed up
Throw it this way
If only I were a cat right now, meow
I'd look around and go lay back down
And on the forecast for today
A storm of nails headed your way
Man it's gonna rain rain rain
And on my forehead does it say
Unleash all hounds of hell this way
Bite until she's lame lame lame
What is it now, oh you don't say better get the hammer out today
What is it now, oh you don't say, better get the hammer out today
And on the forecast for today
A storm of nails headed your way
Man it's gonna rain rain rain
And on my forehead does it say
Unleash all hounds of hell this way
There's so much to offer, so much to throw away
The ever present darker side is making you color blind
But luckily my blinded one
I know you and not what you've done
Not what you've done
You beautiful soul
When you go a feeling that chokes
When you go a fever that soaks
When you go you go away
Into the unknown
When you go you break my heart
Don't you go cause it's chokes
It chokes
Given all you are inside a shaft of light that you can't hide
But an idle mind will dominate and feed all the demons steak
When you walk around that old street
Where you lived and who you were then
You can have it again
Everything's not broke
When you go a feeling that chokes
When you go a fever that soaks
When you go you go away
Into the unknown
When you go you break my heart
Don't you go cause it's chokes
It chokes
When you go a feeling that chokes
When you go a fever that soaks
When you go you go away
Into the unknown
When you go you break my heart
Don't you go cause it's chokes
It chokes
It's a fever that soaks
You go away
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
When you go you break my heart
Don't you go yeah cause it chokes
That girl I've seen her
I don't care for her at all
She got a silver spoon
An attitude, she got a wall
Why does she do this, why is she doing that
She never smiles, it's all her fault that everything went bad
You can take my place
You'd do it better anyway
But you better hide your bones from all the sticks and stones
So they don't break
Too bad she ain't just like her Daddy
Oh, what a shame
She got no talent of her own
It's just her name
She looks bad, she looks mad
Why is she saying that
Why is she so angry and so mean
I just don't understand
You can take my place
You'd do it better anyway
But you better hide your bones from all the sticks and stones
So they don't break
This here is a city without lights
Those are all the people without eyes
Churches, they don't have a soul
Soup for sale without a bowl
Religion so corrupt and running lives
Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end
Chorus:
So long, seems that I was so wrong
Seems I wasn't that strong
Dead wrong, and now I'm long gone
Wrong side, I've been sleeping on the wrong side
Stains all over my soul I can't hide
Nothing's more clear than goodbye
These roads they don't lead to anything
These people they talk, they say nothing
Actors who don't have a part
Heartfelt people with no heart
I'll find a new crowd
Make a new start
Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end
(Chorus)
