Cage Around The Sun
03:31
|
|||
I had a urge to build a cage around the sun
I couldn't find a way to say no
I took a check on all the meters in my room
I kicked the dog and said let's go
The clouds were hangin' low above the path
I had my arm around a sundown
I pinned my baby into yankin' Satan's crank
Bum deals with a thin smile, oh yeah
Pushin' up and pushin' down against the sky
Like there's muscles 'round my torso
The fourth dimension of smiles, strokes and knives
This little piggy's gotta go go
To live and blow all of that piss into your heart
You got veins of iron, baby
Oh, man this egg is way too hot
Lay on a rock and split open, oh yeah
You know the lies that you tell me
All the lies I tell myself
There are breeze coming home now
Like it's screwed itself in Hell
You gotta go where this is headed
Kiss the sun to be alive
I'm a king before this high ground
Where the hole burn my eyes
And then he always
So in the end I had a cage around the sun
Looks pretty horny if I do say
The dog is dead and the sacrifice is done
All in all a pretty good day
The ocean parts and the meteors come down
Laid out in amber, baby
Fate come on and slap me in the head
Punch the switch, arrivederci

Erased From Existence
04:28
|
|||
I won't play along with your stupid games
Locked inside my home afraid of the air
Here is where I have stood and I won't budge an inch
You could set me on fire but I won't budge an inch
I am a name not a number
I am beyond a statistic
So keep your count for another
I'm not erased from existence
Gotta step outside before I go mad
Can't sleep in my bed cause I am wide awake
Don't count me as a voice, I see through the bullshit
Where is all who are dead? I have never been sick
I am a name not a number
I am beyond a statistic
So keep your count for another
I'm not erased from existence
All I see are masks, we all look the same
For the greater good just to stop the spread
I think I was dead wrong, it happened everywhere
Nobody saw it here of poison in the air
I have a name and it's 19
I ended up at 6 feet deep
The danger that I had ignored
I am erased from existence

I'm A Lonely Man
03:03
|
|||
Ah ha little girl
Ah ha little girl
You look like a problem child
You look like you're really wild
You look like you don't taste mild
Eh heh I'm a lonely man
Ah ha little girl
Ah ha little girl
You are brighter than the sun
You're more deadly than a gun
You are just the only one
Eh heh I'm a lonely man
Ah ha little girl
Ah ha little girl
You have come to take my love
You fit tighter than a glove
You are hanging from above
Eh heh I'm a lonely man

The Last One To Save
01:23
|
|||
You tore my heart out
And ripped it to shreds
Can't understand why
Makes me lose my head
Your ideas burn at my soul
Much more than I've been told
My death is what you will crave
I am the last one to save
You always hurt me
But you could care less
This gun will spare us
Care to take a guess?
It's time to lay on the ground
After they hear that loud sound
I'll take us both to the grave
I am the last one to save

My Quarantine
03:31
|
|||
I think I've lost my mind
My thoughts they have unwind
I swallowed a bunch of pills
But I didn't want to die
I won't argue with you
I won't argue with me
I've locked myself away
It's my quarantine
My quarantine
Two weeks in a psych ward
Just part of the mental horde
Meds, groups, spirituality
Walk the hallways when I'm bored
I won't argue with you
I won't argue with me
I've locked myself away
It's my quarantine
My quarantine
Some have called it "the cell"
Some have called it "living hell"
I myself I would call it
The place where I got well
I won't argue with you
I won't argue with me
I've locked myself away
It's my quarantine
And now I'm free

Eating Crow
04:16
|
|||
Tell the truth or confess
Turn your head be the best
Smile at me like the rest
I'm just here as your guest
Falling embers put out by the snow
I'm just sitting here and I'm eating crow
Where's the line that you've drawn?
Spread my wings like a swan
I know you want me gone
Look at me like a spawn
All the maidens lined up in a row
Grab a plate full cause I'm eating crow
I'm not right, I was wrong
I was weak, you were strong
Hear the words of this song
Keep it short not too long
Pull the curtains while I end the show
Belly full from me just eating crow

Oh My God
02:10
|
|||
I am an empty box by the side of the road
You could call me a waste of my father's load
Never became a man and never learned the code
He never cracked a smile or had an afterglow
Oh my God
Why did it happen to me?
Oh my God
Why was I ever conceived?
Oh my God
The look of hate in his eyes
Oh my God
I know he wants me to die
I know it's very strange to a very young child
When you just live in pain and put on a fake smile
Beatings are just the norm because it's just his style
Too late to runaway and go to be exiled
Oh my God
Why did it happen to me?
Oh my God
Why was I ever conceived?
Oh my God
The look of hate in his eyes
Oh my God
I know he wants me to die

Take the seventh road out of town
It's a fucked up way to be found
There is something laid on the ground
Just some wild weed that has turned brown
You are the one who I will owe
Pick up that shovel and that hoe
There's just one thing I want to know
Tell me how does your garden grow?
Not too many more I can stand
Feet are dirty and so are my hands
All the good shit doesn't taste bland
Eyes turned red from what you have canned
You are the one who I will owe
Pick up that shovel and that hoe
There's just one thing I want to know
Tell me how does your garden grow?

Thorn In My Side
03:11
|
|||
The less I think about you
The more it bites me back
You throw it in my face
I wish you'd go away
The push and pull on my heart
I'll end up like a dead bride
I'm just completely apart
You're just a thorn in my side
The moment when you speak
I want to punch your lights out
It's just the same old shit
I've heard a million times
It's not my fault that you're weak
Stop letting all that shit slide
So pompous yet so damn meek
You're just a thorn in my side
The day will come upon us
When we can't stand each other
I know it can't come soon
Who will win at this game?
I hope for healing tenfold
If you can let go of yor pride
One day I will become bold
And pluck the thorn from my side

Ass
02:43
|
|||
Never will say "I'm perfect"
I have made some mistakes
It's that internal conflict
That caused a heartache
Some can do some stupid shit
I will raise my hand up
Almost made me want to quit
And just empty my cup
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Thought someone hated me
When it wasn't even true
Took my anger and I see
it was me who was the screw
This is an apology
There was no lie at play
Acted like a big baby
It's clear as the day
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
Sometimes I've been an ass
I will admit it too
