Crush

(Now you see me now you dont 3x)

Now you see me now you don't
Go before I am the goat
You get away with murder, kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
You Get away with murder, What do i have to do
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

Pile your dead on top of me
Tape my eyes so I can't see
You get away with murder, kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
You Get away with murder, What do i have to do
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

(Under "Crush on me")
I've been waiting for today
I can't touch you when you're far away
Nothing makes me feel this way
Except hate but that fades away

Catharsis

(Verse 1)
All these days I've been the hard man
All these days it's been so hard man
To live my life for someone else
In fear of being honest with myself

I perpetrated a lie.

Jug-gl-lin' my life with one hand - Tied behind my back
Tryin' to find, and it had always been mine.

I perpetrated a lie.

(Pre Chorus)
Im in, Im out
Im in, Im out
Im in, Im out
Im in, Im out
Im breaking through the darkness

(Chorus)
And it knocked me over, into the light of an older soul.
And i'll never die, cause everything i am is in your eyes.

Angels in my heart,
Devils in my eyes. (Devils in my eyes)
Angels in my heart,
Devils in my eyes. (Devils in my eyes)

And it knocked me over, into the light of an older soul.
And i'll never die, i'll live forever in your...

(Verse 2)
Crucify my inhibitions, the first born son he died for my sins.
Nothing to worry about.
And all these years I was the hard man
I always knew I'd find myself and prove
Because you told me the truth, YEAH!, it's all I wanted from you

(Pre Chorus)
Im in, Im out
Im in, Im out
Im in, Im out
Im in, Im out
Im breaking through the darkness

(Chorus)
And it knocked me over, into the light of an older soul.
And i'll never die, cause everything i am is in your eyes.

Angels in my heart,
Devils in my eyes. (Devils in my eyes)
Angels in my heart,
Devils in my eyes. (Devils in my eyes)
Angels in my heart
Devils in my, Devils in my, Devils in my eyes

And it knocked me over, into the light of an older soul.
And i'll never die, i'll live forever in your eyes.

(Bridge)
My catharic dream, a primal scream
Shedding my skin
Somewhere between light and dark
I balance what I am
And i remember everything, we said we'd find a way
Laugh and cry, Love and hating
Ain't no weak link this bond won't break

I put it out there it comes back
I put it out there it comes back
I put it out there it comes back
I put it out there it - comes - back

(solo)

(Chorus)
Angels in my heart,
Devils in my eyes. (Devils in my eyes)
Angels in my heart,
Devils in my eyes. (Devils in my eyes)
Angels in my heart
Devils in my, Devils in my, Devils in my eyes

And it knocked me over, into the light of an older soul.
And i'll never die, i'll live forever in your eyes.

I'll never die, i'll never die (ill never die!)
I'll never die, i'll never die (ill never die!)
I'll never die, i'll never die (ill never die!)
I'll never die, i'll never die (ill never die!)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Inside Out

I thought I knew what provocation was
I thought I knew what provocation was
I've eaten from the insane's root that imprisons reason
It's in my stomach like fire,
And like cancer and like a knife, I've been gunshot
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah........
It's in my stomach like fire,
It's in my stomach like cancer, it's in my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

My only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain
I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason
I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason
It's in my stomach like fire,
And like cancer and like a knife, I've been gunshot
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah........
It's in my stomach like fire,
It's in my stomach like cancer, it's in my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

Chorus:
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out, out, out.......

Solo

Chorus:
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out, yeah, yeah, yeah...............
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out, out, out, out, out.......................

P & V

It was a day to remember, twice as hard
As long
That was the day that I convinced myself
That I found my god

I tip my cap and I step up
I fix myself to the right
I move right into the firing zone
And I scream drink or fight
It's just a matter of respect
Or is that something I missed
This ain't no peace train that you are
Jumping on
So shake my hand and shake it strong
And everybody come along

Long, strong (am I)

Sometimes I can't stop the shaking
At least I know I'm not dead
I don't remember whose blood this is
I've got a hammer inside my head

I get put up, I get put down
And I don't even try
I've burned a bridge, I've burned a
Whole town
Cause I'm fortified
I tell the truth or just gilded lie
And then I charge like a bull with his
Balls tied

A heavy dose of reality
With a side of piss & vinegar
A free drink at the bar and you'll take it

A swift kick in the ass and you'll take it

604

Can't stop eating, she's so fat

Toast To The Extras

Swimming on the surface
It's a hell of a lot safer up here
Ain't prepared to dive
And uncover all my darkest fears
This ain't no covert operation
I don't have that much concentration
Staring at the clock
And my patience is wearing thin
One more down the gullet
Keeps me from jumping out of my skin
I'm lost in the fog of contradiction

I toast to the extras
I drink to them 'cause they don't talk to much
They fill up space and entertain
And when I cut 'em loose they don't make a fuss
They all add up to zero in my life
They're just here to cure boredom for the night
Now sometimes all this leaves me feeling hallow
That's when I take refuge with my pillow
I'm not even ready for confession
That's right

Born Again Idiot

Why do I explain myself when everyone's
An idiot but me
I think some people need
Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again
Kicking and screaming
And dragged back into a life
Like ten pounds in a nine pound bag
Still I come back to give you something
That you never had.
Idiot rules
I never fight I only win
And I don't make em
I never bend I only break them

Finish my smoke, down my drink, wipe my mouth
And I just walk away
What's the chance of finding something
Real and make it last
For that I'd carry all my bags and leave
Them in the past
Because I spend my life fixing mistakes
That left me scarred
And when I stand and meet my maker
I'll be born again hard

Don't judge me by my sins

Killing Box

I have always been an experiment in terror
At least I can only kill you once
Standing aloof when I made up my mind
Reaching, reaching, why it's better to be blunt

Your walking point through my minefield
You gotta get out (get out)
Your on point in my minefield
Forever waiting for a roadmap

Speak
Speak
Speak
Say something
Speak
Speak
Speak
Answer me

I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box

Sketchy's not a name you can pin on me
I'll start a revolt with my honesty
A piece of you burns every time you lie
So let's start a war, just to see how many die

Your walking point through my minefield
You gotta get out (get out)
Your on point in my minefield
Forever waiting for a roadmap

Speak
Speak
Speak
Say something
Speak
Speak
Speak
Answer me

I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box

I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing box
I left you in a killing...

Harms Way

Here comes the biggest asshole that the whole world's ever seen
Watch as things turn to something I never, I never meant to be
Call it a side effect of my arrested development
Here with you I'm trapped, I'm trapped, out of my element

I tear through all this wreckage
Wreckage you left when you dropped the bomb
Is there something worth saving
Or do I act, I act like nothing's wrong
The lesser of two evils gives me, gives me nothing at all

Lust and madness, murder and mayhem
My whole life's been about playing
It's all so surreal
Maybe that's why I touch but can't feel

Sittin' pretty, as I sit up straight
Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way
I move into harms way

I see my face in the mirror
I feel my feet but I can't seem to walk in my shoes
When it hurts I feel closer to you
Closer than you ever knew
And the bottom line is knowing
I will die and the worms will eat me
The bottom line is knowing
Ain't no one else I can be

Lust and madness, murder and mayhem
My whole life's been about playing
It's all so surreal
Maybe that's why I touch but can't feel

Sittin' pretty, as I sit up straight
Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way
Running steady, smile on my face
Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way
I move into harms way

Sittin' pretty as I, running steady as I, sittin' pretty as I sit up straight
Running steady, smile on my face
Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way
I move into harms way

Hog Tied

I have something I can reveal
I get off on laughing
It's like the biggest orgasm
If you like I'll share it with you
When you give up yourself, you do it peacefully
Then you feel no plight and you think you're free
Give up yourself
There goes your chivalry
From on top of the world, I'll throw you down a rope
Hog tied to this life, I'm strapped up tight

And I won't be no slave
I can't wait to get you back
I need you back in my clutches
If it takes a thousand punches
By the end you'll be in stitches
Climb up if the noose ain't tied
It won't disturb you, it's here to serve you
Unlock the doubt, you'll find it's out, your rosetta stone
Or you'll cut the line, and stifle time
Slash your wrist and kiss and kiss your crippled bones

Big Fat

Looming large like a favorite son
One more time comes my obsession
Like a mountain stream that ends in mud
I'm wading in waiting for the flood, sinking
You did
Left me hating, contemplating
Left me waning, slowly draining
Feet of clay that are stuck to the floor
And with vanity you want more
I'm drinking strength for comic relief
While I'm growing super weak in the knees
You asked me can I deliver

Like a monster crossing the hudson river, stomping
Big fat kill
Carrying the weight of the world
In my arms
I'm biting my tongue so much it hurts
But at the same time I'm at a loss for words
The things I've seen should've left me blind
So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind, laughing
You asked me can I deliver
Like a monster crossing the hudson river
The things I've seen should've left me blind
So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind

Cupajoe

I really need a cup of coffee
Go get me a cupajoe

Cupajoe
Black and strong

Alpha Male

You should be happy
You should be really happy
I saved your life today
I didn't kill you, although I meant to
Now go and put your toys away
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Climb up tot he top jump off and take a nose dive
Another societal break down
What did you just say,
You said some thing, some thing that I already said
I smell like both of us, you smell like both of us

Revel in our sated lust
Open your eyes and watch me bust
Ride up to the top, jump off and do a face plant
And I don't need it around, I'm the king of the town
What did you do to me
I gotta get another hit off your energy
I'm cruising in neutral, you came into my life
And bam, kicked it up a big notch
I dropped in from the top
Took off and carved a big slice

Stealing From A Thief

Don't want a life like my parents had
Don't want a life like my rich friends have
Don't want to live by association
Don't want to live the great maybe
I want a life not a name online
I want to live it in real time
I want a life just so I can be
I never asked what was in it for me

Stealing from a thief
My humanity
I know my name, I know my pain
I know my frequency
Dancing with the beast

As a kid I'd play make believe
As a man I play make believe
As a kid I'd do anything
As a man I do everything

I live my life centered and humane
I live my life like a man insane

I get up, I get up and go
I grab a hold and reach way down
To find something that I really believe
I don't need to console myself
If I don't like what I see
