A thawb or thobe (Arabic: ثَوب / ALA-LC: thawb), dishdasha (دِشداشَة / dishdāshah), kandura (كَندورَة / kandūrah), or suriyah in Libya, is an ankle-length garment, usually with long sleeves, similar to a robe. It is commonly worn in Arab countries. An Izaar is commonly worn underneath.
The word thawb is the standard Arabic word for 'a garment'. It is the traditional Arab clothing for men. It is sometimes spelled thobe or thaub. It is a tunic, generally long. The word is used specifically for this garment in Arab states of the Persian Gulf. There has been some debate regarding the correct length of the thawb. Shorter length represents modesty, while longer represents royalty, status and wealth.
The thawb is commonly worn by men in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Jordan, and other Arab countries. It is normally made of cotton, but heavier materials such as sheep's wool can also be used, especially in colder climates in Iraq and Syria. The style of the thawb varies slightly among the various regions within the Arab Gulf. The sleeves and the collar can be stiffened to give a more formal appearance. Other names may be used for this garment. In Souraqia and Oman, dishdasha is the most common word for the garment; in the UAE, the word kandura is used. In Morocco, the sleeves tend to be much shorter so that the thawb may seem more like a long T-shirt and is locally called gandora. Also the neck tends to be more open than in its Saudi counterpart and is often embroidered as is the breast pocket. Also it might lack buttons altogether.
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh, and every time I heard you breathe
I sighed
Ooh, and every time I saw you bleed
I cried
Love is like a song
And if you sing
If you ever need me
I'll be there, in a while
Can't stop, can't breathe, can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh, and every time that I'm with you
I'm alive
Ooh, and every time I think of you
There's a light
And I felt it, too
In my heart is a spring
Is a well, if you need
If you drink, if you heal
Then Im leavin
Every little part of me as a part of you
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
Thinkin' 'bout the night life
In the ladies powder room
Brother's like a howlin' wolf
By the light of the silvery moon
Joey's like a Pavlovs dog
When he starts to salivate
A hardened man himself
Is hard to shake his rattle snake
Me, I got a brand new babe
You know that something just ain't right
I say yeah, yeah
Can't stop rockin' tonight
Hangin' at the shopping mall
With a watchman full of sash
Leave your smile outside the door
'Cause the kids be kickin' ass
My old boot heels be smokin'
You really got to understand
We're burning down the town tonight
A when the new shit hits the fan
And me, I got a brand new baby
You know something just ain't right
I say yeah, yeah
Can't stop rockin' tonight
Yeah yeah
Can't stop rockin' tonight
Layin' on her back tonight
To watch the moon eclipse
Baby eatin' out tonight
But I just ain't leavin' tips
So y'all best watch out what you do
And who you do it with
'Cause you'll be kickin' ass tonight
He stays up at night till way after dark
Feeding the dog that lives in our yard
He'll put on my shoes and stumble around
But together we can catch any outlaw in town
The boy tries to be just like me
I'm all that he tries to be
Watching cartoons on my knee
Mamma's little man and me
He wants to know how this and that goes
He'll play all day on a mountain of clay
And he'll fight with me to show that he's strong
But if he gets hurt it's mamma he wants
The boy tries to be just like me
I'm all that he tries to be
Watching cartoons on my knee
It's mamma's little man and me
Some day I know he'll leave us alone
Break mamma's heart I'll try to be strong
But if I shed a tear I hope he won't see
The big man is him and the boy is me
The boy tried to be just like me
He's all that I try to be
Now I'm watching cartoons on my knees
And mamma's little man is me
Oh, say, busy bee,
Where now are you going?
Where now are you going,
To work or to play?
I'm bound for the garden
Where roses are blooming
For I must be making
A dead man came calling my name and in need
Said Betty you're my girl
The strongest I've seen
But oh my heart is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
Said Betty she's fine
And Betty she's tall
And Betty makes love
Like no woman at all
But oh my heart is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep
But oh my eyes making fools out of me
They say love is blindness
I can no longer see
Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay
But oh my heart is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave
Track 3 of _Script For A Jester's Tear_
The rain auditions at my window, it's symphony echoes in my womb
My gaze scans the walls of this apartment
to rectify the confines of my tomb
I'm the cyclops in the tenement, I'm the soul without the cause
Crying midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors,
Clippings from ancient newspapers he scattered cross the floor
Stained by the wine from a shattered glass,
meaningless words, yellowed by time,
Faded photos exposing pain, celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
You've finished playing hangman, you've cast the fateful dice
Advise, advise, advise me, this shroud will not suffice.
Attempting to discard these clinging memories,
I only serve to wallow in our past
I fabricate the weave with my excuses,
its strands I hope and pray shall last
Oh please do last.
The flytrap needs the insect, ivy caresses the wall
Needles make love to the Junkies, sirens seduce with their call
Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
Confused and rejected, despised and alone,
I kiss isolation on it's fevered brow
Security clutching me, obscurity threatening me
Your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified
I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry
I realise I hold the key to freedom,
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions,
the changes have to be made
I realise I hold the key to freedom,
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions,
the changes have to be made.
Now I leave you, the past has had its say
You're all but forgotten a mote in my heart
Decisions have been made.
Decisions have been made I've conquered my fears
baby better get it straight
i'm a nasty kinda date
i like to do it hard
crack the whip
till you're scarred
down - down on your knees
give a kiss and a squeeze
yea - like you to open wide
baby baby gonna come inside, yeah yeah
the whip is gonna get you
drop you to your knees
the whip is gonna get you
drop you to your knees
down on your knees
baby - baby - don't you go
can't you see i want some more
with the whip in my hand
got you at my command, yeah
down - down on your knees
give a kiss and a squeeze
yea - i'm gonna stay up late
my baby won't have to wait
the whip is gonna get you
drop you to your knees
the whip is gonna get you
drop you to your knees
No!
the whip is gonna get you
drop you to your knees
the whip is gonna get you
drop you to your knees
Oh, yeah!
I can't stand to watch the six o'clock news
It's enough to give an average, sensitive person the blues.
Can't get it up
I don't know about commercial appeal
But what you put in your head
Just can't help affect how you feel
So lets keep it up
Prophets of doom try to capture you
They get around like the asian flu,
But they can't get me
Because I go for the up
I'm on the up side
I look for the up (that down just ain't my style)
I go for the up
I'm hooked on the up
I'm on the upswing (I got my sights set high)
I go for the up
What's the point of standing out in the rain,
What's the sense of looking down,
It just gives your shoulders a pain
Can't get it up
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy
If you look for the worst then that's just
What it turns out to be
So keep looking up
The fickle finger just may point your way
It touches someone different every day,
But it can't touch me
Because I go for the up
And everybody's yelling at me to get back in line,
And they say I'm crazy,
But still they have their sessions of deep depressions,
But it can't get me
The rain auditions at my window
Its symphony echoes in my womb
My gaze scans the walls of this apartment
To rectify the confines of my tomb
I'm the cyclops in the tenement
I'm the soul without the cause
Crying midst my rubber plants
Ignoring beckoning doors
Clippings from ancient newspapers
Lie scattered cross the floor
Stained by the wine from a shattered glass
Meaningless words, yellowed by time
Faded photos exposing pain
Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
Christ, you've finished playing hangman
You've cast the fateful dice
Advice, advice, advice me
This shroud will not suffice
And thus begins the web
Attempting to discard these clinging memories
I only serve to wallow in our past
I fabricate the weave with my excuses
It's strands, I hope and pray shall last
Oh please do last, oh please do last
The fly trap needs the insects
Ivy caresses the wall

Security, clutching me
Obscurity, threatening me
Christ, your reasons were so obvious
As my friend have qualified
I only laughed away your tears
But even jesters cry
But even jesters cry
I realize, I hold the key to freedom
Oh, I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
I realize, I hold the key to freedom
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
Now I leave you, the past does have its say
You're all but forgotten, a mote in my heart
Decisions have been made
They've been made, they've been made
Decisions have been made
I've conquered my fears, all my fears
The flaming shroud, the flaming shroud
Must edge the web
Blue seas red summers
Long years in slumber
Deaf ears hear thunder
Dump lips speak wonders
Red eyes burning through the night
Giant wings rise up in flight
On the dark earth choked with life
Nature's creature stands upright
See the beast upon the land
Kneeling in the burning sand
And his heart beats in his hand
Dead seas long summers
Lost years in slumber
Blind eyes seek wonders
(Q-Tip)
Yea, move your body, decide to party
'Bout to bring it to you kid like we never ever did
My nigga Al G in it, my nigga Shaheed in it
We got the girl Kristine in it, got my man Big G in it
Hey, yo, inside the ghetto or in a sunny meadow
I'ma make you move whether woman or fellow
Yo, I got the medals in the warfield of respect
Like an ill porno make ya body get wet
Just a ghetto child trying to live a straight and narrow
Hoping that my shit will pierce your dome like an arrow
I'm sure it will, especially if it's God's will
MC's you ready to die cuz I'ma kill
All you negative feelings standing on two feet
While I make the hotties move to the hip-hop beat
You know what's really killer, realer than you can imagine
Using every source of pain in my range to make it happen
If I make it happen, that means I'm making motion
And I'm doing my thing causing an ill commotion
Everybody do the hop, niggaz soothe like lotion
I lay up in the piece or an incognotion
You gotta do the hop then move to the beat, you don't stop
Now everybody here, you do the hop
You going up to cop, a town full of brick, don't stop
You gotta come back and do the hop
Yo, fuk the cop, you gotta come back and do the hop
Move till your body won't stop
You gotta do the hop, nonstop motion, nonstop
You gotta come back and do the, do the
(Phife)
You see you, your career is done like Johnny Carson's
Get me vexed, I do like Left Eye, I'll start an arson
Now that I got that out my system
Watch me stab up the track as if my name was OJ Simpson
I packs it in like Van Halen
I work for mine, you, you're freeloading like Kato Kaelin
I'm representing wit my crew
Mess around, bite my rhymes, I beat that ass wit my shoes
C'mon, you know I'm crazy nice (nice, nice)
Brothers can't deal wit this shorty named Phife
You must be mad in the head
I bust his ass and leave 'em bloodclot for dead
Niggaz sound like Das EFX
If it ain't Das EFX, then they sounding like Meth
You might as well do Megadeth
Yo, punk MC's better save your freaking breath
You'se a corny muthafuka
You must be high smoking dust wit Chris Tucker
You ------asses don't want this
I pull more beeps than the beep at the premier of Pocohantas
Word is born, I am the baddest
And all you honies out there, word is born, you know my status
So come and pull your panties down
This ain't no Barnum and Bailey show, I don't get down wit the clowns
So why don't you and your friends, get wit me and my friends
But don't bring your ass buying you ain't got no ends
Word is born, it don't stop(stop,stop,stop...)
Just ease your mind, come along and do the hop
(Q-Tip)
You gotta do the hop, you move to the beat, you don't stop
Come on everybody, do the hop
Even if you a cop, you gotta come back and do the hop
You move to the beat, you don't stop
You smoking jub rocks, you gotta just stop and do the hop
Then you come back and do the hop
You know we don't stop, we on the ghetto, rise on the top
You know we come back and do the hop
Shorties in the place, all the shorty rocks, do the hop
You gotta come back and do the hop
We never go on pop, you know we come back, we do the hop
I know some people they ain't got no money
But they do got a means to an end,
cuz they got juice and they got plenty of lovin'
and a big heap of beautiful friends.
I know some people didn't know that they're born,
They don't know the soles of their feet.
Well you can't fight a war when you got lovin' in store
there on the sunny side of the street.
Let's do the whip
Everybody get hip to it
Ain't nothin' missin' we got a pot to kiss in
We got karma, we am what we am.
It's up to you because the best that you can do
is the best that you can.
My situation is the fellation nation,
dancing to the brotherly beat,
Well you can't fight a war when you got lovin' in store
Can you feel it, can you taste it
Can you see it, can you touch it
Could you love it, don't you covet
Can you drug it, or can you fuck it
Oh the happy, it's the happy
We're the happy, oh so happy
It's the happy, I'm so happy
The happy, has come here
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Don't you wonder, oh I wonder
What a wonder, wonder, wonder
If you know
Then let's go
Get real high
But not if you go low
I just found it
I wanna let you know
It's the place where
I'm gonna take you, go
It's the happy, oh the happy
We're the happy, oh so happy
It's the happy, get the happy
I'm so happy, someone smack me
Alright, here it comes
Alright
It's alright, it's ok
Here we are, another day
And if you are wondering why
You are here, well so am I
I got all the answers
That's why I've got dancers
If you want to follow me
Be good, be good to what you see
Let's get happy, I'm on fire
Let's get happy, I'm on fire
Let's get happy, I'm on fire
Let's get happy
Alright, here it comes
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Let's get together, get it together
Everybody work, work it out, come on, come on
Let's get together, get your shit together
Everybody work, work it, work it, work it
Let's get happy, ohh
I'm so happy, ohh
Alright, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Let's get happy, ohh
I'm so happy, ohh

It buzzes fine, the bee
Buzzes fine, stings deep
I play a frightened little game
I eject myself at scary speed
In front of cars and I go yeah
She is it, she's got the sting
She's dangerous, she stings
He gets stung, he is out
She gets the honey, she is it
She flies great, the bee
Flies great, stings deep
The cars freeze from fright
When they see my beautiful body and tongue
Then I speed away
But no one catches me
I'm the fastest bee in town
Oh, hot bee, Queen of heaven
With glossy trunk buzz to me
I want to be stung, I want to be out

Way back when birds were fish
And all God's creatures swam
Who would see a virus traced
Into the diagram
That learned to swim in seas of blood
That washed the body shore
The viral tide that ebbed with you
Then turns for claiming more
Turns for claiming more
How comes is it birds for me
That always bring bad news
I see them in my dreams
And another day's accused
Of filling up with set-backs
Crises and regret
But in this swamp, amnesia
Oh, you I won't forget
You I won't forget
Oh, in a field, my field of sight
I caught a moving bird
And while we ate beneath the vines
You spoke its native word
You gave that bird a name for me
Then released it into flight
I will not forget the hoopoe
I won't forget that night
I will not forget that night
Way back when birds were fish
And all God's creatures swam
Who would see a virus traced
Into the diagram
That learned to swim in seas of blood
That washed the body shore
The viral tide that ebbed with you
Then turns for claiming more
(interpreted by Jamie Sobol)What a dream you still love me whoa,
is it my imagination
For we reached to one against all white
left smoke in your eyes
And they were offering me good advice
Try to tie an arrow
Way on top the statue holding answers (on so¡)
Let us sometimes (some time to) fly away
We're left like this Oh here in me
It's her imagination
Untie my hands so I can fly away
To another world and they
Were offering me good advice
Try to tie an arrow
Way on top the statue calling on so... (Answers)
Let us sometimes (some time to) fly away
You shut my eyes but I remain
I was staring naked to your hands
Where were you when I was calling dear
And I wear forty rings to grab appeal
I was staring naked to your hands
Where were you when I was calling, dear?
And I will have some medicine (answers)
Anyway, then you hold me, I was in the womb
You¡.
----------------------------------------------------(as interpreted in the Japanese CD)
What a dream that you still love me
Well it's my imagination
For we reached to one against all while
That smoke in her eyes
And they were offering me good advise
Try and tie them up
Way on top the slide
You holding on to
Let us sometimes fly away
Words will look like the sound
Here in me
Some imagination
Tie my hands so I can
Fly away
To another world
And they were offering me good advise
Try to tie them up
Way on top the stands
You holding on to ¡ time to run away
Let us sometimes fly away
You shut my eyes from tall remain
While I was staring naked into your wounds
Where were you when
I was calling dear?
And I wear fourteen rings to grab a pail
And I was staring naked into your wounds
Where were you when
I was calling dear?
And I will have to know them anyway
When you hold me my eyes on the moon
I'm the man they're gonna hang for killing billy joe
But there's a whole lot more to the story than they know
Listen to my side of it and i think that you will see
{Beastie Boys sample:
";Here's a little story I gots to tell"; repeats in background}
[Erick Sermon]
Hype, one two like that y'all

It's the beat, that makes me wanna ?
Peace to my niggaz
Peace to my mens

Sunday's here, the end of the week
And the club's packed and shit, I feel like freakin
Pick up the phone, call my niggaz, ";Yo whattup dude?
Need me a bitch man, to put me in the fuckin mood
Check this here - I'll pick you up around twelve o'clock
right around the parking lot, I'll find a spot
It's on, man I'll see you soon
in about twelve hours, yeah past noon";
It's the hype yo
It's the hype
Word, pulled up brake, ehh, by the front door
Parlay, and I stepped out hardcore
I tipped the boy park the car in the front
Not the back, in case I have to run and get my strap
I walked inside, somebody sing, ";Errrick Serrrmon";
That's me, got me in free
Looked around the club, man no half-steppin
Walked straight up, to the V.I.P. section
Sat by the wall, so I can see what's happenin
My boys spread out, got their girls, and rappin
Oh no, I see a girl comin towards me
Posse deep, so I paused for the cause G
She approached me, hi, told me her name
I told her my name, then kicked the game
Sat beside me, like Little Miss Tuffet (hello)
Talkin bullshit, knowin I want to fuck it
Basically, I figured she was widdit
So I pulled out my ink pen and exchanged the phone digits
Gimme a call when you get to your crib
So I can get directions, right to where you live
She smiled, and left, the girl was wide open
I'm no jokin, when the E blows the smoke in
Check the Rolex, asked for my check
The waitress came over in a pair of black spandex (whoo!)
Gave me a look like, ";Aren't you Erick Sermon?";
";Yes, and who is it concernin?"; Me, that's the hype
It's the hype
I asked her, ";What time you get off?"; ";Oh, in 15 minutes";
So I stormed the bitch like a blizzard
";Umm, can I take you home?"; ";Sure meet me in the parking lot
I'll flash my high beams, so you can find my spot";
She came out - MAN, she was all that
Cool like that, and stacked like that
She jumped in with a wide open grin
Before I went to her crib, I dropped off my best friend
Got to his house, and gave him dap
He knew what time it was, so he passed me a jim hat
Got to her house, then parked the Jeep
I asked her who was home she said her sister but she sleep
Walked upstairs, right into the room
with one skylight lookin straight at the moon (yep yep)
She wasted no time, man she was on it
Grabbed for the bozack, and her hands was packed
Took off our clothes, went to work, man trust me
I heard someone knockin, somebody tried to bust me
It was her sister, man I must be buggin (ahh shit!)
It's the same girl, I met from the night clubbers
";That's your sister? Oh I didn't know -- I'll go";
and they both screamed, ";Hell no!";
They smiled, with a devilish grin
and the other sister jumped in
That's the hype
It's the hype yo
That's the hype
Word em up, one two it's the hype, check it out yo yo
It's the hype yo
It's the hype, yo it's the hype, word em up it's the hype
Yo ?, take em out
Whoa oh-oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh-oh X8
She's coming home to me because she said
I'm lonely darling please
But instead of waiting, I go flying off to you
Why? Oh well just because
Whoa oh-oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh-oh X4
I writhe when you're gone, so I wait at your door
You pull up in some guy's car around four
I punch him, kiss then carry you inside
Why? Oh well just because
Whoa, oh-oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh-oh X4
Oh baby do you like me that way?
There's something 'bout you that makes me want to say
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
Oh baby I like you that way
She's coming home to me because she said
I'm lonely darling please
But instead of waiting, I go flying off to you
Why? Well just because
Well it's 'cos I love you
And I love those crazy things you make me do
I don't mind if you want me to
I do, well baby 'cos I love you
Whoa oh-oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh-oh I love you X3
An ancient abbey on the field
Like a rock against the night
It will also be your shield
A room a glow by candlelight
Filled with the smell of peat
Men were sitting side by side
I can hear the preacher say
Your time will fly away
But eternity
Will remain forever
Time to regret your sins
The brothers all live in peace
Do their labor every day
Here they all feel at ease
This place could be everywhere
As well inside your home
Uh, come on

A hip boy you could feel like you never felt

I know you miss the good sex and the pillow fights
But I'ma thug and I gotta stay on my job

[Poet]
Now how should I start this first let me explain
Straight up drama since I bumrushed this game
Now I been doing this since a little rugrat
Representin QB, where my fuckin duns at?
Thats where I bug at, thats where I love at
Used to be small time then I got mad stacks
But lets rewind the hands of time
Back when I first laced the wax with rhymes
It was eighty sa'en, I was a crazy sa'en
Niggas tried to diss the Bridge I came bustin'
Even quoted Doug E Fresh sayin we was nothin'
You don't believe that, you know I called his bluffin'
Made 'em go buy a click and put 'em on patrol
You know P-O-E-T stayed in war mode
My gats stayed unlocked ready to unload
Loungin' waitin for the drama to unfold
But luckily we never had to go there
Lucky for them cuz I'm a nigga that don't care
But what did I get out of it? jack shit
Cuz I ain't the one to be on niggas dicks
Runnin around sweatin, put me on
Fuck that, I hit the block and popped til dawn
I was sick of the fake niggas selling they fake dreams
No time for that my niggas gotta make cream
Extorsion crew hits the block thoroughly
Merrily, merrily gettin bent up everyday
Makin money, takin losses
Beef with the nieghborhood wannabe bosses
Everybody gotta eat, heads bounce to the beat
Niggas is politicin on the hill twenty deep
Next thing you know I'm back in the studio
I could'nt help it, I had to let my guns blow
PHD hits the scenery real heads in the industry remember me
I was flippin (flippin flippin) over them ???
Stuck in quicksand on bullshit in tough city
It didn't work out, niggas had to brake out
Take they own route fuck it no doubt
The streets was callin me I wasn't far away
Lets Get It On like motherfuckin Marvin Gaye
Been there done that still ain't finish spittin yet
Back on the set cuz there was money to get
My team, army green, on the scene doing my thing
Thats where I first queen yo I gotta blow up
At that moment I noticed mad niggas askin me
"Yo what happened Poet?"
I'll be back like Swarzeneggar, Terminator
But now, all I wanna do is get my wieght up
My man blessed me while I was already bubblin
He didn't dress me I had his money on the double dun
I did my thing for a long while
I sold shit like it was going outta style while I was on trial
Anyhow, shit got foul
It all flipped I owe dough by the thou
But I can get it back and make it all good
I do my thing blessin niggas bricks in the hood
I had it going, fuckin blowin I didn't know then
Somebody close would snitch if they had to go in
But thats how it goes you win some you lose some
All I gotta do is tighten up my screw son
And crack that henny open and bust that bottle
You niggas stay tuned more shit comes tomorrow
Thats my bio, for those that give a fuck
And those who wanna know about P-O check my flow
Thats my bio, for those that give a fuck
And those who wanna know about P-O (check my flow)
Yeah, QB's Finest
Look down on me, Spider
look down from your wall
I see you creeping my way
oh, please don’t let me fall
CHORUS
Because I am caught in your web
silken spun by my love for you
am I just another tug upon your string?
a temporary love, to go?
I look around at your old loves
your trail of empty shells
they lay about you with out regret
without thoughts for themselves
CHORUS
I lay still, try to hide away
but my beating heart brings you my way
you wrap me in folds of soft caress
and gently lay me down, put me to rest
CHORUS
And wrapped as I, engulfed in love
What I was is drained away
what is left, I couldn't give away,
Welcome to my parlor, with a gesture
I am lured inside
Bitten I am helpless as the poison cripples my mind
A worthy specimen chosen to be the mate
She straddles over me and offers me the bait
Caught in her web, as she consumes my head
Caught in her web, her appetite is fed
Hunger, she devours, her desire overpowers me
Stuck in disposition, I'm defenseless, I feel her sting
As she seduces me I'm kept immobilized
Bound in the ecstasy of what I fantasized
Caught in her web, as she consumes my head
Caught in her web, her appetite is fed
She wraps her legs around me
As she contorts her body
With all my strength I fight her
Constricting even tighter
I struggle, she laughs
I can't escape her grasp
I cannot endure another minute more
Mistress, dominatrix, is her fetish
Just a fatal wish
Torture gives her pleasure
She abuses from experience
Her mating ritual has merely just begun
You may have the money
But you've got to go
It's sensible
It's sensible
And those endless seasons
That go on and on
Incredible
But I'd sooner get out
And remember where we went last year
You said everything about it moved on your career
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day
Because this isn't Paris
And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day
It feels so good in the bay
It feels so good in the bay
You may have the body
But do you have the song?
Let's make this happen
Let's make this happen
And those endless beaches
That go on and on
It's magical
But I'd sooner get out
Remember where we went last year
You said everything about it moved on your career
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day
Because this isn't Paris
And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day
It feels so good in the bay
the movement of the air
is the only thing i can breathe
it’s my only possession
it’s my only disease
if a sea of self resentment
is the only thing you can see
will you be able to forgive yourself
what a pale existence
reminds me sometimes of me
i could see the resemblance
i could see the difference
i’ve been a boy for to long
but i’m awake the boy here,
how long ‘till he’ll break
intend to miss you
intend to miss you bad
but tend to keep my habitat sealed
burn my loved ones it seems i’m
so indifferent to the meaning of
existence and feelings
bound to a toll on my heart is
pushed away alone here
Look up and lift your eyes
And see the vast despair
The need is rising high
And it calls for us to care
[Pre-chorus]
Will we choose to hear the call?
Will we rise up? Will we fall?
Will we stand? Will we wait? Will we run?
[Chorus]
‘Cause the hope is in your hands
Are you willing?
Are you willing?
Look up the time is now
Or fear will overcome
To close your eyes destroys us all
We’ve got to face today
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus x2]
The earth is crying desperately
We close our eyes in disbelief
And everything we wanna see
Is covered by the mystery
The earth is crying desperately
We close our eyes in disbelief
And everything we wanna see
Is covered by the mystery
You walk into the room as if you're a guy who gets the girls
You wouldn't even notice me on top of the world
And then he smiles at me and I know I'm the one
If it feels this good being used
Then use me all you want
CHORUS
And he's the kind of boy you want so much it makes you sad
But I just want to be with him so bad
I'm only happy when he stays
And when he tries to leave me I cannot hide I start to cry
And after all this time I don't know why
I don't regret a single day the boy is here to stay
You drive me up the wall with those innocent eyes
I really shouldn't believe it but you know what I like
And you get the DJ to play our song
If it feels this good being used
You can use me all you want
Repeat chorus
He's always bringing me down
But I got my friends around
He makes me look like such a fool
But I keep telling myself
That it's gonna be allright
If I just...
Practicing a religion of deception
Playing human ignorance and trust
Divine, dictates
To be allegiant, flexible and wretched
They're creating profitable preconceptions
Lending credence to nonsense
The arrogant, depraved
Man - their instrument of prey
To satisfy their hunger is our question
Fat leeches feed weak body of our earth
Insatiable, voracious
Those never feel replete
Chorus:
You don't enjoy
My confidence
Sophistic
You're not in my good grace
They're creating profitable preconceptions
Lending credence to (an obvious) nonsense
The arrogant, depraved
Those never feel replete
Grim, magnificent seducers
Aimed to astray us and mislead
We're paltry, exposed
You don't even suspect
That you're controlled
Chorus:
You don't enjoy
My confidence
Sophistic
You're not in my good grace

The boy who became more than friends just came and messed with my head, It hurt to be just friends, I tryed to tell him but he didn't listen, It would be easyer If he just walked away, But every time he text me, i feel the pain one more.
(music)
Ive told him to leave me alone, But he just didnt get the hints, Ive been trying to tell hime but he drropped once more, What hurts the most is he allways wants advice, Everey time he gets dumped he comes crawling back to me for advice, He veiwsme as his closest friend, It hurts so much, I just want to tell him good bye.
