Slow Drain
Yeah, I'm nameless, nameless
Love found me lost
But then I'm thankful, thankful righting the wrongs
Forgotten blessings, blessings down on my knees
My soul is endless, endless but
I'm so relieved and I’m so relieved and I’m so relieved
But if you must be concerned
I'm on a slow drain now
As you watch me burn
I'm on my way back down
If you must be concerned
I'm on a slow drain
As you watch me burn
Slow drain
Yeah I'm wasted, wasted end of my rope
But then I'm brain dead, brain dead
You make me choke
New Colic baby, baby kicks and it screams
My soul is endless, endless and
I'm so relieved and I’m so relieved and I’m so relieved
But if you must be concerned
I'm on a slow drain now
As you watch me burn
I'm on my way back down
If you must be concerned
I'm on a slow drain
As you watch me burn
Slow drain [x8]
But if you must be concerned
I'm on a slow drain now
As you watch me burn
I'm on my way back down
If you must be concerned
I'm on a slow drain now
As you watch me burn
Slow drain [x8]
Splinter
I know what it feels like
It burns from the inside
I know what that hurts like
'Cause I've been wrong a thousand times
My bones are all cracked
Splinter deep in my back
I'm still the same but we have changed
And now I have to live with my mistakes
Will I ever learn
I'm battered and bruised
Scratched on the inside
I'm losing myself
I'm so sick of the lies
Dead ring in my ears
The hole underneath
You're deep in my skin
You're the splinter in me
You'll never know how hard I
Try to keep my head right
I miss all the bright lights
Shining down like the sun burns my skin
Ten silver sets me free
Like the ones before me
I'm still the same but we have changed
And now I have to live with my mistakes
Will I ever learn?
I'm battered and bruised
Scratched on the inside
I'm losing myself
I'm so sick of the lies
Dead ring in my ears
The hole underneath
You're deep in my skin
You're the splinter in me
I'm battered and bruised
Scratched on the inside
I'm losing myself
I'm so sick of the lies
Dead ring in my ears
The hole underneath
You're deep in my skin
You're the splinter in me
The splinter in me
The splinter in me
The splinter in...
Me!
Ugly
Are you ugly?
A liar like me?
A user, a lost soul?
Someone you don’t know
Money it’s no cure
A sickness so pure
Are you like me?
Are you ugly?
We are dirt, we are alone
You know we're far from sober
We are fake, we are afraid
You know it’s far from over
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober
Look closer, are you like me?
Are you ugly?
Turn a blind eye
Why do I deny?
Medicate me
So I die happy
A strain of cancer
Chokes the answers
Are you like me?
A liar like me?
We are dirt, we are alone
You know we're far from sober
We are fake, we are afraid
You know it’s far from over
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober
Look closer, are you like me?
Are you ugly?
I don’t care, you don’t care
I’m bitter, you’re angry
You don’t care, I don’t care
You love you, just like me
I blame you, you blame me
I’m bitter, you’re angry
You don’t care, I don’t care
You love you, like me
We are dirt, we are alone
You know we're far from sober
We are fake, we are afraid
You know it’s far from over
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober
Look closer, are you like me?
Are you ugly? [x3]
What You Deserve
Failing
and unsure
why am I losing my nerve
Wasting my time
why do I only see this through the hurt
[chorus]
I cant get it out of my head
I cant get it out that
I do this to myself
me and no one else
So help me
tell me how to break free
I'm to blame
and that's what really hurts
That's what really hurts
You get what you deserve
Jaded and broken
Out of place
waiting my turn
Guilty
fractured
And like you I don't know the answer
[rpt. chorus]
I cant get it out of my head
I cant get it out of my head
I hear the words that you said to me
I cant get it out of my head
I cant get it out of my head
I hear the words that you said to me
And I do this to myself
me and no one else
So help me
tell me how to break free
I'm to blame
And that's what really hurts
That's what really hurts
You get what you deserve
Hey You
Your life, mislaid
Spoon-fed, well raised
Hey you you're nodding out
What's this all about
Hey you you're nodding out
What's this all about
Hey you! hey you! hey you! hey you!
What's this now
Going down going down
Are you sorry now
Going down, why do you want to die
Black tar in your veins
Once new, now stained, stained, stained, stained
Hey you you're nodding out
What's this all about
Hey you you're nodding out
What's this all about
Hey you! hey you! hey you! hey you!
What's this now
Going down going down
Are you sorry now
Going down going down
What's your story now
Going down, why do you want to die
Die
Why do you want to die [x2]
Your life, mislaid
Spoon-fed, well raised
Hey you [x4]
Hey you! hey you! hey you! hey you!
What's this now
Going down, going down
Are you sorry now
Going down, going down
What's your story now
Why do you want to die
Die
Why do you want to die [x6]
Baptize Me
You're in my head tormenting me
I'm running scared in my time of need
Cuts on my head cuts on my feet
I'm here waiting so baptize me
I need a reason I need to know just why
You were my meaning
Now its me you deny
You're in my head tormenting me
I need a beginning so baptize me
Hole in myself
Kills by degrees
Gift of compassion
You gave to me
Blistered my hands
On your beliefs
I'm here waiting so baptize me
I need a reason I need to know just why
You were my meaning
Now its me you deny
You're in my head tormenting me
I need a beginning so baptize me
You're in my head tormenting me
I'm running scared in my time of need
Cuts on my head cuts on my feet
I'm here waiting, baptize me
F.S.O.S.
Alright, alright everything is just fine
Here comes here comes a bundle of hiss
Alright, alright everything in my life is so
Fucked up fucked up I'm losing my grip
Some days I bleed, I fall like stone
I'm always afraid, I feel so alone, got a false sense of security
Giving me a real sense of insecurity
Messing with my head now, head down
What the fuck is wrong with me
A false sense of security
Is fucking with my head
Attention attention everybody look at me
Stand up stand up I need your belief
Rejection rejection always seems to follow me
Head down I need some relief
Some days I bleed, I fall like stone
I'm always afraid, I feel so alone, got a false sense of security
Giving me a real sense of insecurity
Messing with my head now, head down
What the fuck is wrong with me
A false sense of security is fucking with my head
Its easy to see, I'm flat on my back
I sigh and I scream, I'm under attack
[chorus]

Its your religion, yeah
Dear Enemy
You're pretending you're something you're not
You're collecting a head full of rot
You're self-righteous, the butt of the joke
And its a secret, everyone knows
You know you know you know you know it
You show you show you show you've shown it
You know you know you know you know it
You show you show you show
My dear enemy, backstabbing me
Like a friend to me, like you seem to be
You think I don't see
You backstabbing me
Like a friend to me
My dear enemy
You're condescending with every word
It makes you happy but what is it worth?
You're like a virus eating my skin
Its a problem I think its a sin
You know you know you know you know it
You show you show you show you've shown it
You know you know you know you know it
You show you show you show
My dear enemy, backstabbing me
Like a friend to me, like you seem to be
You think I don't see
You backstabbing me
Like a friend to me
My dear enemy
You're pretending you're something you're not
You're collecting a head full of rot
You're self-righteous, the butt of the joke
And its a secret, everyone knows
You know you know you know you know it
You show you show you show you've shown it
You know you know you know you know it
You show you show you show
My dear enemy, backstabbing me
Like a friend to me, like you seem to be
You think I don't see
You backstabbing me
Not the enemy
Just a memory
My dear enemy, backstabbing me
Like a friend to me, like you seem to be
You think I don't see
You backstabbing me
Like a friend to me
My dear enemy
Dear enemy [x5]
Tired Of You
Where did I go wrong
I can't look you in the eye
Feeling so ashamed
It feels like I could die
[chorus]
Hold me up and don't let go
I've had enough
I'm tired of breathing
Tired of feeling
Tired of looking at the past for meaning
Tired of running
Tired of searching
Tired of trying
But I'm not tired of you
Losing everything
It's something I can't face
Hope is on the run
It's something I cant fake
[chorus]
Hold me up and don't let go
I've had enough
I'm tired of breathing
Tired of feeling
Tired of looking at the past for meaning
Tired of running
Tired of searching
Tired of trying
But I'm not tired of you
I want to feel a change
I don't mind if it hurts
You take away the pain
You're the only thing that's pure
[chorus]
Hold me up, don't let go
I've had enough
I'm tired of breathing
Tired of feeling
Tired of looking at the past for meaning
Tired of running
Tired of searching
Tired of trying
But I'm, I'm tired of breathing
Tired of feeling
Tired of looking at the past for meaning
Tired of running
Tired of searching
Tired of trying
But I'm not tired of you
Normal
Can you take me as I am
And the sting of my sweat against your mouth
You judge me till there's nothing left
You and your opinions wear me out
[chorus]
You don't know me
I'm immune, I am free
Not a slave to your beliefs
I'm immune, out of reach
You're alone, stuck with your disease
You hate the things that I say, and who I seem to be
But you don't look so normal to me
Serve your daily rituals
Then make up the rules to suit yourself
I'll never be what you are
So why don't I just start to hate myself
[chorus]
Can you take me as I am
And the sting of my sweat against your mouth
You judge me till there's nothing left
While you and your opinions wear me out
[chorus]
Don't Push The River
I need a meaning
I need a soul
This circle is vicious but precious like gold
Don't push the river
Don't stop the flow
Dead in the water caught in the undertow
[chorus]
You are the ocean I am a wave
Fell out of motion I lost my way
You are the ocean I am the wave
I fell out of motion
I learned a lesson I learned it so well
I wont forget it, I've got a truth to tell
My last confession, my faith was long dead
I pushed the river was more that I could bear
[chorus]
With a pain in my heart for so long
[rpt. 4x]
I need a meaning
I need a soul
This circle is vicious but precious like gold
Don't push the river
Don't stop the flow
Dead in the water caught in the undertow
[chorus]
