Get Inside
Seed, gotta let it grow, why you gotta watch when I let it feed?
Better look into the mirror for the face you hide away, everyday
But I don't give a fuck; I let it roll ... I spent the old
Gotta run, gotta rend, gotta maim, gotta make it through another maze
STAY AWAY!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Muthafucker, GET INSIDE!
Get inside, get inside muthafucker [x4]
Christ, have you seen this guy? Make you sick,
gonna peel away all the impurities
Cuz all you wanna do is keep curin' me,
but I don't give a fuck If you'll help me once,
You'll be mopping up blood and guts and all the shit when I'm done
Isn't this fun? Give me a gun and I'll tell you all the secrets I hide
BEFORE I RUN!
Please: wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Muthafucker, GET INSIDE!
Get inside, get inside muthafucker [x4]
Maybe if you look away, I can slip away, gotta get away
RUN MUTHAFUCKER, RUN!
Right now I stare at shit, I'm a heretic, but I'll never give you none of it
Tied up in the back of the lab, laid on the slab, got the gift of gab,
what you want from me?
I don't even know I got a damn disease, but I KNOW YOU WANNA KILL ME!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Muthafucker, GET INSIDE!
Get inside, get inside muthafucker [x4]
Orchids
You hold me inside your iris like a terminal stain on life
you condescend to my primal brain and twist me around like a knife
Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you
DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn�
You keep me hidden behind a curtain,
an audible human display
You feed me orchids to give me courage
and keep me in line with disdain
Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you
DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn�
I have nothing left for you
you left me with nothing
I have nothing left for you
you left me witn NOTHING!!
I live at arm's length and die a little,
between your constants by day
I want my soul back before it's over,
I can't even wish you away
Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you
DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn�
I NEVER LEARN!!
Cold Reader
I can only hurt your case
It's written on your face
You always come to me
I won't be used, but
I can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up the door, oh
NO
I WON'T
I CAN'T
NOT ANYMORE
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK YOU'LL FUCKIN' DIE
WHY?
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
Stay Away from who I am
Cuz I know what you are
I can't believe you're here
Then again, you know that
I can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul, oh
NO
I WON'T
I CAN'T
NOT ANYMORE
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK YOU'LL FUCKIN' DIE
WHY?
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
Stop I know your goddamn game
It's always been the same
The story hasn't changed
Neither will you, but
I can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul
NO
I WON'T
I CAN'T
NOT ANYMORE
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK YOU'LL FUCKIN' DIE
WHY?
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES? [x2]
Blotter
LETS GO!
I only wanted, only wanted just to touch you
I couldn't bear it, couldn't bear it if you leave
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter if I scare you
I only wanted, only wanted someone else's skin
To feel you there
Touch my face
Keep me whole
Help me see........ my life
Give me your life
I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the first one
I haven't ever, haven't ever been discreet
It isn't over, isn't over by a long shot
I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the only one
To feel you there
Touch your face
Keep you whole
Help you see...... my life
Give me your life
INCREDIBLE... AND CHEMICAL
Before I show you where the secret is
I want to turn you into this
I want to give you all my nothingness
I want to cover you with this
See my life... give me your life
Let me see... my life
Give me your life
INCREDIBLE... AND CHEMICAL.
Choose
HEAR ME!!
Remember all the times you bent our truth and crossed our lines?
All things considered, it was just our normal way of life
But somewhere in the middle, we got caught and dragged away
So my tribunal brings us here so I can fall today
All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fuckin' nonsense
I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!
I stand before you as a victim, as the system rots
I couldn't focus, so I staggered when I heard the shots
There are no labels and no rehabilitation here
You are surrounded by the very fuckin' thoughts you fear
All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fuckin' nonsense
I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!
I watch the hope I had disintegrate before my eyes
I take a minute and reflect on all your fuckin' lies
Behind the door, you have two choices, but you don't get to choose
You can survive or you can die - either way you lose
All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fuckin' nonsense
I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY....MYSELF!
Choose!
Monolith
Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real *TO ME!
I'VE CONSECRATED!
I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT
I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN... BEFORE MY EYES!*
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this?
I couldn't have oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside OF ME?
*I'VE DESECRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!*
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
*[Solo: Josh]*
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, can you stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
*WITHIN!*
Inhale
Come one and all and see the broken man
Talking to himself
He sits and waits for something better
He'll never find it here
The people touch his hair and pinch his cheek
He can't even feel it
There it goes again
He's listening to someone
He hears the bitter laughter
And all he wants to know is...
Why does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better
He wipes his hands on anything in reach
He never feels clean
He shakes at night because his nerve is gone
Every muscle hurts
Come one and all and see what happened
That broken man is me
There it goes again
I can hear it louder
It doesn't feel good anymore
All I want to know is...
Why does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better
Now I know I disappear
I can't find my way from out of here
Everything is fading on me
Someone tell me, someone tell me...
Someone tell me
Why does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better
Why?
Why?
You gotta try!
Try!
Bother
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds
Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason; my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds
Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with it's memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries
And you don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
Once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit.
Blue Study
Somewhere between my tongue and cheek
I can feel the hands on me
Pulls me in so we are face to face
I don't wanna see it...I don't wanna see
Hold my head up, can't avert my eyes
Spots and rats on me, I don't wanna see
Claw the ground up, get me out of this
Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and I left you, too
Chair is stained and I can't stay awake
Bring forth evidence to keep me sane
I can't keep this riddle locked inside
Seven ways to keep my secrets tied
Can't believe this, I belong in chains
Separated, it was me and something else
Now I'm numbing, get me out of this
Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / oh, but then I left you and:
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and I left you, too
Arms stretched out, giving thanks to pain
Spotlight looking down, I'm ashamed
Kneeling with my forehead to the ground
I can't help but flinch before I'm found
I DON'T NEED YOU! Can't you see behind?
Doesn't matter now - DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE!
Maybe made me, get me out of this
Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and muthafucker, I left you and...
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and I left you, too
SAFE! I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE!
SAFE! I JUST - WANT TO - BE SAFE!
SAFE! DON'T YOU WANT TO BE SAFE?
SAFE! WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME BE - SAFE?
Take A Number
Never even knew
what you meant to convey
You handed us a retrospect
'til you didn't have a thing to say
No one questions you
Even someone set out to do
Now it's nothing...
but dead and gone
LET'S GO (x4)
Better than the world's ever seen
You wanted all the recognition
until you lost the means
No one talks to you
Even someone set out to do
Take a number... your time has come
CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE! (x2)
My excuses lay me down
My emotions make me drown
My endeavor takes blame
At least I have a name
CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE! (x2)
CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
Idle Hands
Stuck to the dog, pissin' out both ends
I got 100 lethal weapons that I call my friends
Ain't a person on Earth who could take my life
I wish they would so a man could get some sleep at night
But my design is a mixture of descent and decay
You see a monster in the mirror everyday
Can a man ever wash his hands of blood?
Perpetual deja vu, isn't that enough?
Peel back the layers... and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!
See if you can relish if you close both eyes
Every time I make an issue of it, someone dies
Carried out like a hit man, set in stone
Don't know why I even bother to be left alone
In my opinion, it's a self-serving fucked-up phase
Got a picture in my wallet that I keep, in case I
Gotta go, gotta split, gotta make it to a higher level than this
But I could be wrong, what I say is wrong, what I really want to say is:
Peel back the layers... and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!
Run... it doesn't matter,
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run... I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again
Here's how it ends, just a bit too soon
River deep in all the shit I let myself get into
Doesn't anybody like it here?
Blank looks, TV drama and no fear
Let another person fuck with your mind
I bet you become the person who will fuck in time
Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring
I feel you glaring, WHY WON'T YOU STOP STARING?
Peel back the layers... and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!
Run... it doesn't matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run... I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again
GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!!
Tumult
GODDAMN YOU!!
Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you
Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you
Must have been a bitch, must have been a pain
Take me off the "innocent"
Put me in your vein!
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on
Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on
Mustn't take offense, mustn't take a bow
Used to be a derelict
Now I have to live with it!
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
YOU CAME BACK, BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY
Trip my light fantastic
Rub me in your wound
I'm not broken, I'm not plastic
I'm no whore...
Used against me - use me up again
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
YOU CAME BACK BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY
Sometimes I think I'm crazy; other times I know I'm not
Got no time to time to time once again
You want me, you need me!
Omega
What a skeletal wreck of man this is
Translucent flesh and feeble bones
The kind of temple where the whore's and villain's
Try to tempt the holistic tomes
Running rampant with free thought to free form
In the free and clear
And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a laundromat
To sift and focus on the bigger, better, now
We all have a little sin than needs venting
Virtues for the rending
And laws and systems
And stems ariff from the branches of office
Do you know what your post entails?
Do you serve a purpose?
Or purposely serve?
Lying down inside of your atavistic galore
The value of a Summer spent
And a Winter earned
For the rest of us there is always Sunday.
The day of the week that reeks of rest
But all we do is catch our breaths
So we can wade naked into the pool
And place our hand on the big black book.
To watch the knives zig-zag between our aching fingers.
A vacation is a count-down
T-minus your life and counting
Time to drag your tongue across the sugar-cube
And hope you get a taste
What the fuck is all this for?!
What the hell is going on?!
SHUT UP!
I could go on and on, but, let's move on shall we?
Say, you're me and I'm you
And they all watch the things we do
And like a smack of spite
They threw me down the stairs
Haven't felt like this in years
The great magnet of malicious magnanimous refuse
Let me go and
Plunge me into the dead spot again.
Thats where you go when there's no one else around
It's just you
And there was never anyone to begin with now was there?
Sanctimonious pretentious dastardly bastards
With their thumb on the pulse
And a finger on the trigger
CLASSIFY MY ASS! That's a fucking secret and you know it!
Government is another way to say
Better than you
It's like ice but no pick
A murder charge that won't stick
It's like a whole other world
Where you can smell the food
But you can't touch the silverware
Hah, what luck
Fascism you can vote for
Isn't that sweet
And we're all gonna die some day
Because that's the American way
And I've drunk too much
And said too little
When your gaffer taped in the middle
Say a prayer, save face
Get yourself together and (see what's happening)
SHUT UP!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!
I'm sorry, I could go on and on but
It's time to move on, so
Remember you're a wreck, an accident
Forget the freak, you're just nature
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean
Shit, snort and blaspheme
Let the heads cool and the engine run
Because in the end,
Everything we do
It's just everything we've done.
