This Lullaby
Where O where have you been my love?
Where O where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone.
And 0 what a wreck you've made me.
Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullabye
My Hope is on the horizon
Every face, it's your eyes i can see
I plead, i pray through each night and day
Our Embrace is only a dream.
And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, i'd only begun this lullabye
Medication
Medication for us all, it is a new way
And we're gonna take it cause we love it
Don't you know?
is this the dose you've been dreamin' of?
A revelation from a gun
Doesn't matter
Overtaken, mine was yours, now overthrown
Just copulation in a song
i'm so contagious, can i cum?
in the new way
all of us cast asides became what has become
Medication for us all
You think you know me, well you're wrong
Doesn't matter
all of us cast asides became what has become
Everybody Knows That You Are Insane
You wanna know
Why you feel so hollow?
Because you are
You're missing out?
Well if you say so
Then you're missing out
Everybody knows that you're insane (x2)
You wanna know
Just how long you can hide from
What you are?
Not very long
I have been lost
Down every road I follow
Out in the dark
On my way home
Everybody knows that you're insane (x4)
But I feel nothing. Am I better yet? (x4)
Everybody knows that you're insane (x4)
Tangled Up In Plaid
I slipped
Didn't mean
Didn't mean to do it that way
But I blew in on a whim, gone tomorrow
(shit) I'm gone today
Come, lets play along
And let each other lose
A win would cause an alarm
Don't matter to me
Doesn't matter to you
(chorus)
I could keep you all for myself
I know you gotta be free
So free yourself
I could keep you all for myself
I know you gotta be free
So free yourself
A self-inflicted wound, your gift
Impeccable aim
Can really clear a room
All the bodies piled up in your way
Oh yeah, it hurts
So bad, and it must
(chorus)
I could keep you all for myself
I know you gotta be free
So free yourself
I could keep you all to myself
I know you gotta be free
To kill yourself
Burn The Witch
Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
On our way
To see what we have done
The first to speak
Is the first to lie
The children cross
Their hearts and hope to die
Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut
Ask yourself
Will i burn in Hell?
Then write it down
and cast it in the well
There they are
The mob it cries for blood
To twist the tale
Into fire wood
Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say...
Bite your tongue, swear to keep
Keep your mouth shut
Make up something
Make up something good...
Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone
In My Head
It's the cruelest joke to play
I'm so high I run in place
Only a line we separate
So...
Chorus:
Keep on playin' our favorite song
Turn it up, while you're gone
It's all I got when you're in my head
And you're in my head, so I need it
You're the only thing I got
That I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So...
(Chorus)
(Instrumental break)
Oh... oh
Oh, my radio, I can't wait forever...
(Chorus X2)
I need it...
I need it...
I need it now
Little Sister
Hey sister why you all alone?
I'm standing out your window
Hey little sister, can I come inside, dear?
I wanna show you all my love
I wanna be the only one
I know you like nobody ever, baby
Little sister can't you find another way
No more livin' life behind a shadow
Little sister can't you find another way
No more livin' life behind a shadow
You whisper secrets in my ear
Slowly dancing cheek to cheek
It's such a sweet thing when you open up, baby
They say I'll only do you wrong
We come together cause I understand
Just who you really are, yeah, baby
Little sister can't you find another way
No more livin' life behind a shadow
Little sister can't you find another way
No more livin' life behind a shadow
I Never Came
When you say it's dead and gone
Yes, I know you're wrong
Cut and slash, sharpest knife
It won't die
Poison cup, drank it up
It won't die
No fire, no gun, no rope, no stone
It won't die
Why you gotta shove it in my face
As if you put me in my place
Cause I don't... care if you or me is wrong or right
Ain't gonna spend another night
In your bed... X2
Laws of man, are just pretend
They ain't mine
Love so good, love so bad
It won't die
Some talk too long, they know it all
I just smile and move on
Words ain't free, like you and me
I don't mind...
Why'd you have to be so mean and cruel?
The dogs are loose I'm on to you
You ball and... chained together from the dawn to dusk
Can't call it leavin, cause it's just
I never came... X6
Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever
The Blood Is Love
I saw you, in a way
Beyond figure out
These lines of life have been drawn and can't be removed
Our eyes is all it took to know
Open up your eyes
Deep blue, glassy lake
and swim 'til water and sky
Now are one, out of two
Oh, my bloodshot eyes
Open up your mouth
Touch your lips to mine
That we may make a kiss that can pierce through death and survive
Your words have branded my mind
Still I hold your hand
Wrapped as if a ring
We of flesh and blood are only carrying
It's so hard to
Well, you know
The seed waits for the reaper to sow
Every breath an art
The dignity to learn it can strain and break your heart
Take all your pieces home
You ask when you're alone, "What is love?"
The blood is love
Skin On Skin
From the moment you said 'why haven't you kissed me yet?'
I knew I'd wipe that paint from your lips
I stare the lids off your eyes, gone down on your dirty mind
and end up between your hips
Handfuls of sweat tangled hair, anytime, anywhere
I wanna lick you too much baby
I just play all alone, whispering for your moan
Forced to crawl down this line, just to touch
I can get in
I can't get out
I'm just sweating my sheets
I hate to see you leave, but i love to watch you go baby
Twisted secret lives, the way you bat your eyes
Givin head givin head givin head
Watch you come from above
I'm so needy for love, i'm desperate,
Greedy in slavery
I sneak around from behind
I got a one track mind
We got a skin on skin thing baby
I wanna lick you too much
I hear you comin ooh aaaah baby
Broken Box
I've got wine and so do you
Mine came with a cork
I wish yours did too
Everyone just loves you so
Well hurray! Yay
Now you know where to go
In my head you're all brand new
I guess you're really all the same
In my head you're all brand new
Tell your new boy where i came
In my head you're all brand new
I just didn't want what you gave
In my head you're all brand new
Go and find yourself another slave
There you are
Ooohh you're so in love, just like juliette
Well guess what?
That's one thing that you can for-fucking-get
Tears from the sky
In pools of pain
Well baby tonight, i'm gonna go and dance in the rain
In my head you're all brand new
I guess you're really all the same
In my head you're all brand new
Tell your new boy where i came
In my head you're all brand new
Take that broken pussy elsewhere
In my head you're all brand new
Save it baby, i don't care
"You Got A Killer Scene There, Man..."
I don't mean to make obscene
But even the mob, know what the hell i mean
The knot is tight, on my blindfold
I got my flesh full of blood, i hate rock n roll
Some think too much, then come too soon
I just curse the sun, so i can howl at the moon
Don't wanna love you no more
Don't wanna love you less
I wanna be crushed by your sweet caress
What's the fuckin' difference, we all gonna die
You gonna do something killer?
C'mon give it a try
Got no good plans but a good idea
Let's put this town in my rearview mirror
Yeah, i got enemies, but they don't know
They won't get no glory on that side of the hole
Were are united, by drifting alone
This is the army of none, got no flag, got no home
Just witches & scabs, an awful mess, i confess...
Let's do it again.
Long Slow Goodbye / Hidden Finale
Where have you gone again my sweet?
Everybody wants to know
Where have you gone again my sweet?
Everybody wants to know
Where you gone?
I'm just a ghost, i'm on your street
Waitin', when you comin' home?
Gone so long
Where you gone?
On a long slow goodbye?
On a long slow goodbye...
In every voice, i hear you speak
Waitin' by the telephone
I close my eyes, i just can't sleep
Roll & tumble all night long
All night long
Where you gone?
I close my eyes, i just can't sleep
Where have you gone again my sweet?
On a long slow goodbye?
On a long slow goodbye...
Goodbye
Like A Drug
Since youre gone, I sat at home
Wonder why no Ill never be free
But the thought of you
Goin with another guy
No, it could never be me
You took a ring and pawned our love away
What can I say, I am left behind
So I take a drink, another cigarette
I cant forget that you once were mine
What can I say?
I guess it wasnt meant to be
Now youre gone
Its just, your love is like a drug
Its been so long
Your folks have bet you gone
I know that youre alive inside
So I hope and pray you wont throw this love away
I just wish that you still were mine
