I’ve got half a mind to lose mine  Before my head is even through the door  And I’ve got full mind to lose yours  Before your knuckles even hit the ground  And don’t you worry cause its all the same  Before the night will even know your name  Garlic breath will never save your life  From creatures that will sparkle in the light  Won’t you get down on something like this  Til you’re six feet under and your just another priss  With a zombie crush starving for a brain dealing cocaine  Well you got the taste for it.  I got half a mind to wake you  Before the night will ever take you  And I got full mind to stop this  Before you’ll have a chance to shake it up  And don’t you worry cause its all the same  Before the night will ever know your name  And dodging bullets of the silver kind  Will make you wish that you were never mine  Won’t you get down on something like this  Til you’re six feet under and your just another priss  With a zombie crush starving for a brain dealing cocaine  Well you got the taste for it

How on Earth  Could you ever  How on Earth  Could you ever  I’ve never been to mars  And you’re telling me that you have changed  And now we’re just the same  But the difference between unity and metamorphosis  Lies between where you thought we’d be  And all these lies in between  You’re pacing by the front door  Waiting for the pain  Staring out the window  Itching for the rain  Creating grand illusions  To hide your growing shame  Just knock it off and then some  Before you go insane. Insane.  And you’re telling me that you have changed  And now we’re just the same  But the difference between unity and metamorphosis  Lies between where you thought we’d be  And all these lies in between

Something’s gone wrong upstairs the lights have changed with apples And you know I’m more of an oranges kind of guy Screaming bloody Mary at the wall Got an urge to wage a war And it can’t be that bad If I’ve gone completely mad And I just want to go home You’ve been there all along Something’s gone wrong outside The car is turned on The car is in drive but no ones in the driver’s seat Screaming Bloody Mary at the wall Got an urge to wage a war And it can’t be that bad If I’ve gone completely mad And I just want to go home You’ve been there all along Screaming Bloody Mary at the wall Got an urge to wage a war And it can’t be that bad If I’ve gone completely mad And I just want to go home You’ve been there all along And I told you I’d find you And I told you I’d get through Oh God, what have I done Bloody footprints down the hall, I’ve gone and killed them all Gonna find my way home again

I can hear you across the ocean I can hear you across these waves I can hear you calling into my head Before the break of day I won’t break I won’t break these waves I don’t care what the devil says I won’t break these waves I will break I will break these chains I don’t care what the devil says I will break these chains I can hear you across these mountains I can hear you across this storm I can hear you calling into my head Before the rest of the world I won’t break I won’t break these waves I don’t care what the devil says I won’t break these waves I will break I will break these chains I don’t care what the devil says I will break these chains I won’t break I won’t break these waves I don’t care what the devil says I won’t break these waves I will wake I will wake the stars I don’t care what the devil says I will wake the stars And I will be the one Who calls your name Beyond the grave

Dead light fluorescent washing over me Tied down so tightly that I can’t breathe Don’t you talk to me about closing doors Because you left one cracked yourself And don’t you blame me for things to come Because you laid out all of your cards Look what you’ve started and what’s become of me And now the blood is pouring and I can’t see Don’t you talk to me about closing doors Because you left one cracked yourself And don’t you blame me for things to come Because you laid out all of your cards

Gettysburg 03:21
We’ll battle through the night At our Gettysburg address Like so many souls before Who are resting below the floor And it’s only fair for the time being Cause’ you and I are lost In this cloud of gun smoke We’ll battle through the night At our Gettysburg address Like so many souls before Who are bleeding on the floor And it’s only fair for the time being Cause’ you and I are lost In this cloud of gun smoke

I won’t be the one waiting outside your bedroom window long With a boombox over my head blaring out your favorite song In a brand new three-piece suit I’ll stand here for one more final chance Through a wall of rain hoping for a face through plated glass All the while through your tribulation With the heart of a nation in your hands And this will be written on your tombstone “Where have you gone?” Have you gone? I won’t act like I’ve not been in this place before When you finally go and let me in You’re thinking that you’re so smart staring at a window through my mind While I slowly try to talk this through your ever numbing skull Like some faded Halloween decoration What’s your station in your head? And this will be written on your tombstone “Where have you gone?” Have you gone?

Dirty 03:53
What’s wrong with a little dirty If you’ve been there before? She’ll ask you as you close the door She don’t care if you own the building Or sweep the floor So, long as you’re coming back for more If shes going down, she’s bringing the whole city She’s got priests and politicians Stored away All in a little black book She won’t hesitate to call em One by one If you don’t give her twice the look If she’s going down, she’s bringing the whole city Burn it to the ground If she’s going down, she bringing the whole city

Cancer 05:23
And it’s been in the back of your mind Since the day you were born Just like you knew it would be And don’t you be so scared no It’s almost over now And don’t you worry much We’re almost through this now. And it’s been in the front of your mind For the last couple weeks or so Just like you knew it would be And you see yourself in the kids And it scares the hell right out of you Just like you knew it would, just like you knew it would yeah And don’t you be so scared no It’s almost over now And don’t you worry much We’re almost through this now

You told me flying was for the birds Now I find myself afraid of heights Stretched so thin inside this hole of mine You told me flying was for the birds You told me dying was for the ones With clearer conscious and a will to live Now I find myself afraid of death You told me dying was for the ones If man were meant to fly Then give me wings and I Will try to touch the sky For one more goodbye I know I’m going to see you if I die trying I, I know
11.
I’ve told myself I still believe In things I cannot see Like the way you move Through pitch black Through a sinner’s heart I wont go Cause you wont know And I know the score To this little game I’ve played it all before And I know the truth To these little lies Before they leave your mouth I wont go Cause you’ve already gone What’s the point Of doing this? One last time Without the kiss

Auto Pilot 05:09
I watch the shooting stars Reflected off the tanker truck While passing by little lights Shining on with all their might Driving home can be so sad Gut wrenching a poisoned core When nobody is home Waiting there for you Drive me home Drive me home Cruise control is just an auto Pilot of the mind Constant flight in cloudless thought All at leagal speeds And get me home in just one piece That’s all I pray, is just one piece So I can think myself to sleep For just one more night Drive me home Drive me home Drive me home yeah Home And get me home in just one piece That’s all I pray, is just one piece So I can think myself to sleep For just one more night Drive me home yeah Home When you open up your eyes Who’ll there by your side just smiling
