- Always Carrie
When I'm awake at night, sometimes I picture you
And hear those words again you said, "I'm leaving"
I couldn't hold you down and not expect that you would drown
I'm a clown, but no one's laughing
Maybe you're from another planet, one I want to invade
It's all been said (it's all been said)
To me you're dead (to me you're dead)
- Angela
I didn't mean to drag under
But I was thinking about you
And how your eyes swallowed me whole
I've tried my hardest to forget it
But a broken heart is murder for the soul
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
- Any Number Can Play
They will mislead you, plug in and bleed you
I swear I heard the DJ say
"Swallow temptation", believe the answer
Is in the order you obey
I know my purpose isn't on a poster sign
I'm still part of the game that any number can play
- Apparition
I'm sick of everything, I can't get out of bed
Just lay here, someone pull me out
I'm tired of these thoughts, the world moves outside
Feel like a ghost, rejected by the living
- Best Regards
Don't take it so hard,
we're not against you
It's really not that bad,
It's just that they
want you to think that it is
I'm over the past but I can't defend you
so I'll say it one last time before I leave
that life behind
- Biggest Lie
"Ladies and gentleman we interrupt or program of
dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the incontinental news."
The writing's on the wall, but no one cares at all
To convey the message that we wrote ourselves
Destroy the walls we mend and burn the candle at both ends
(I really think we are)
- Biomag
It all started sitting at home, sitting alone, sitting at home.
It all started having a smoke, you thought that you would choke, having a smoke.
Then you decided to get up and go go to the show, go to the show.
Looks in his wallet attached with a chain he has no cash he has no ?
Biomag, Biomag the epidemy of worthlessness mag
Biomag, Bioooomag.
Down at the show hes starting to scam got to get in so you can slam.
???
- Black Box
Up here sedated in my seat,
Can't wait until i can see my feet
And run away from stupid things i've said
I'll be here a few days from now,
We'll talk about it when i come down
If we make it this time, I'll clean the stain i've bled
Our worlds collide in new beginnings
- Bullets
Alone on stage without song
so where is jesus now and where do I belong
What is faith if there is no proof?
The answer is the same but not for anyone, the question lingers on
So out of desperation
Humans do their worst the find out what that is
A mystery known to many as the divine... it's their dime
- Chasing Rainbows
Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes
Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend?
There's something you ought to know, before you explode
All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do
I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know
- Coming Too Close
There was a time when you would come and go
Now there's no time left to react
Just as it starts to heal in comes a bitter end
Well you were already to leave my side and then...
You're coming too close and I can't pretend
That I'll pick you up or let you come in again
We've been through this before, so please understand
- Couch Boy
Диванный парень
Иногда новости разленивают меня,
Не дают мне встать с дивана, где моё место,
Похоже мировые проблемы никогда не утихнут.
Боюсь ли я? Господи, да.
Кто-нибудь, скажите мне почему мой телевизор
Утверждает, что мы рождены, чтобы умереть вот так.
- Death Doesn't Care
So many people try to do things for themselves
So many heroes should be taken off the shelf
Go see a movie, so far from our reality
Cue up the line to see people hurt and bleed
WE DON'T FLY THE ONLY FLAG ON THE EARTH
AND AS OUR BROTHERS DIE THEY INHERIT THE DIRT
A WHILE BACK THEY WERE CHANTING "KILL SADAM"
- Domino
Blinding me it seems you cannot help out with the situation
It always has to be somebody's fault but never yours
Taking what I said and making things up that did not exist before
Every time we say hello, it's like meeting a total stranger
And when we're on our own you know there's not much left to say
Just wait for everyone to nod their head then you nod yours
What difference will that make?
- Dumb Reminders
i heard the message
then i rang it off the hook
i didn't get you till 1 am
who was wrong and who was right
and this distance caused a fight
now i'm ready to give in
honestly
- Feeding the Fire
It used to be easy to listen to people
And take everything with a grain of salt
And now that I'm older I still hear voices
I do not wish to be involved
I don't want to be involved with the incinerator anymore
That lifestyle is such a bore - Find the door
- Fields Of Agony Acoustic
How many people, how many have died?
I'm feeling lucky and afraid at the same time.
How many times have you sat home and wondered why?
We always hear about the U.S.A. but not the other side.
In fields of agony everybody dies.
How many humans, how many does it take?
- Friends of the Enemy
lost in confusion
not knowing which way to return
to the person you know
this trepidation makes you
take it out on someone else
you forever
everybody wins
i don't think so
- Hail to the king
She loves him just enough, to be lad there
Spread eagle exposing her love
Her sighs and moans meant nothing to him
But a girl must do what she must do.
Hail To The King
And his court of love
Was it love? Or self-imposed lust.
Hey, it’s not your duty to me
- I Want To Be Wrong
Let me introduce myself, my name is no concern
The room is filled with superficial voices
As the smoke clears I can see one hundred little lies
Racing to the finish for a consolation prize
I want to be wrong
I wish that I was uncertain just like yesterday
This is not who I am, been planning my escape
- Insecurity Alert
emergency dispatch i think something's wrong
with words its so hard to construe
the images follow a dream through a song
the nightmare has finally come true
rhetorical speeches are made on the screen
to shut us up and rest assure
an obviously panicked media machine
- International You Day
i'm sorry that it took so long
to write this song
but i gave up
you see one million words can't describe
how it feels
to know your love
where did i go wrong?
- Invincible
This conversation sickens me.
Please let me out, I'll take the bus.
And though I tried to understand,
I didn't know.
How can you say that I'm a fool,
When all I do is help?
Well I guess I'm a fool, but I know that I'm not your pawn.
- Its tragic
Tragedy pulls us together but anything tears us apart
Trying hard to stay complacent but all the systems fail
And fear denies the truth that's in your heart
Forgetting lessons I have learned
My mouth is shut the table turned
No one giving time is winning again
- Kill The Rich
he sky is still falling, is there any end in sight?
And some are talking to themselves as missiles fly
Through the night
But in the beginning there were words with half a cause
Now everyone is singing it and waiting for the applause
They don't think about you when the payments keep on coming
But only to use you for a way
- Killing Time
Not Knowing what he had got into, only following the sheep
The message sent for his deployment at only twenty-three
Promised to be there for a short time
His mother looks at photos
Passed down from a family tradition;
Her head lies on her lap...
I'll never be sure exactly what it means
- Leave It Behind
When we came here it was done, I felt completely useless
Never learned to quite adjust and all along they knew this
Carousel would someday stop and throw us off in anger
I guess I didn't think I'd ever see this sitcom dramedy
They wrote the script for us already
It's not the time that makes us guilty
It's all done, the hatreds built, the walls divide
- Let It Slide
I spend a day or nine then finally realize
There's really nothing going on
So why should I try to shake leaves
When there's no one in my trees that I should care about
Let it fall, let it rise
Let it be and let it slide
Let tomorrow come and take my mind away
- Let Me Down
She's never alone, because she's scared of what she might say to herself
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
A half-hearted grin
She won't be afraid as long as that prescription keeps going through
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone,
I use to learn from
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
that there was a blue sky, she left behind
- Life Size Mirror
She was done before the start, always mending broken hearts
Making others miserable not knowing who she's hurting
Father said, "This day will be, one for everyone to see"
Is it true you'll follow suit and have you learned a thing?
It's just a selfish way to go, it's safe to say she'll never know
For every person there's a whole life story waiting to be told
When she is happy it's OK, but then these people start to fade
- Looney Toon
I lived to grow up in the seventies
The harmlessness of cartoons that I watched on T.V.
Now it's gotten violent, mentality close to none
This is what happens when a child buys a gun
WHAT WOULD DADDY SAY IF I BLEW MOM AWAY?
THE CURIOSITY GUNNED HER TO THE FLOOR
I GUESS THE T.V. LIED, THE HERO (RABBIT) NEVER DIES
- Nailed Shut Box
I always thought I had a pitch-black mind
Surrounding voices change my view
I feel fine now, it is a shame how I found out:
A) When I was a kid I was full of hate
B) Couldn't save the teenager that never felt blame
C) Thought I blazed a path on a dead end street
Always incomplete
D) None of these are an excuse for the person
- Night Of The Living Living
And so much can change in a second when everybody's
Hiding the truth
An eternal quest for some happiness is there anything we
Won't screw?
Like a loaded gun if it sits too long, eventually you'll work
Up the nerve
To abandon your herd
- On The Outside
It's funny been inside and out
'cause when you are inside
you're still actually outside aren't you?
Then you can say when you're outside,
you're inside because you're always inside your head
I'll see you on the outside and we'll never be the same
after all that's happened what is it that we've gained?
- Overdue
The flowers have wilted on the sill
And words have been kept so small and still
And yet if the great opinion speaks
Then sadly we nod our heads and agree
Barely a mention of your name
On deaf ears a distant whisper
Whatever, no one gets it
- Pacific Standard Time
Sleep is also known as I'm awake
Addicted to the easy life that everybody hates
I wonder should I call you or just stare in space again
There's always a beginning on your end
Somebody get me off this slow descent parade
The differences a hundred miles but a couple months away
I'm saying hello just to say goodbye
- Part Two
... I hope that I can seem flawless to you
And always take away the pain that you'll go through
My impression is not always what it seems
You're more of a reflection of what I used to be
...So why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph?
You take down my fortress and kill me with a smile
Please hold that thought a while
And I'll try to put you on this path
- Permanent Rust
She was corruption when I was destruction
I'm seein' through her eyes like cellophane
It used to be I'd see her face and feel so small
Now the only face I see is the picture
I'm throwing darts at on the wall
Where did she go? When loneliness is all I had to show
If I couldn't trust her then, who could I trust?
- Pre-Medicated Murder
More times than five
I've been right here by your side
Still Wondering....Where did you go?
Walk down the hall in a mental manacle
Don't want to be 'round
When you take yourself out
But I have more vigor than this
- Room 19
It's been so long since you've been here, and I'm dying
Is there something you would like to say?
Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers
And make the feeling go away
Looking back I can't recall, who was listening
When I used to walk the streets at night
Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying
I was happy all the time, and it's hard to look back
- Saddest Song
What's wrong with everyone? There's a panic in their eyes.
Like others getting close are aliens in disguise
They smell conspiracy on the lips of dearest friends
Reminds me of a time long ago, They think it's the end
Of what we all created, used to love but now we hate it
Life is as simple as the mind it lives in
The truth is a waste of time, when we're conditioned to understand
- Secret
father works the late shift, mother drinks herself to sleep
brother's outside fiending with a match and gasoline
they told her lies and gave her no hope for tomorrow
and all the fairy tales just fade away
the brightest day of all the one that she's been needing turns to gray
the boyfriend calls her crazy, teacher bores us all to sleep
and friends are in the bathroom speaking just like enemies
nobody understands her heart that's left there bleeding
- Six Degrees From Misty
When you were little she sold you out
Out by the ounce the drugs and alcohol was free
Or maybe it was your imagination
Friend of the family but now the foe
She gets inside your mind with everything you smoke
That's why your conspiracy comes from some words she spoke
The rain is controlled by misty
- Sleeping Between Trucks
When you wait for someone to come trough
I'm sorry to inform you of the news
On your own, you'll stand in line and wait
To let them pick your poison and then decide your fate
Standing on lines that you never want to cross
Better listen to the boss
I know you're lonely too
- Sleeping In
Packing up the pictures in an old shoe box
It's so silent I can almost hear you walk
Down the hall standing in front of that window
If heaven is so high, then why are you so low?
Does it feel, that you're taking back the love that made him real
In the darkness you will always see his face
And I could never take the place of him
- Solitaire
I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise
And act as if nothing ever..
Died or faded away, got lonelier with age
And time isn't on our side
I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake
- Straight From The Jacket
So sorry son you're worrying your mother
No explanation's gonna make it seem alright
Young boy, listen to your father
It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide
How does it feel? When you're looking down the barrel
of a loaded gun...Tell me how it feels
Did you see your life flash right before your eyes?
Stop playing games and get yourself up off the floor
- Stunt Double
Here's another, drink to cover,
Every word you say.
Fine excuses,
It wasn't you then,
Sorry, my mistake.
So here comes the part,
Where the stunt double plays.
You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame.
- The Answer Is Still No
I couldn't understand why you left me
standing here
flickering out like a candle in the wind
the memories are laced with shame
there's no intention of working out the
problem that remains the same
Little children standing in the hall
- The Trumpet Player
Always in the way, I think I've had enough of this
Why is everyone so cold and lonely?
Here I go again, I'll try releting to the selfishly absurd
Take me for a ride and leave me somewhere I can live
Without feeling everybody's sorrow
I want to feel the numbness that surrounds most of our hearts
To feel like I am normal while ripping lives apart
- There Will Be Revenge
Staring out the window she sees glimpses of last night
And everyone is silent but speaking through their eyes
Walking to the bus stop where the court of judges wait
To sentence her to live her life
Like she should always be ashamed
Been around so many times it wears out what you are
Accepting sarcasm and false sincerity
As words that people mean
- This Is A Rebel Song
[girl:]
I love you my hard englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me, I'm your woman
And I desire you my hard englishman
- Thorn in My Side
Remember these words
''I'll never let you down'' ''You are my friend and you can talk to me''
So why am I? (so why am I?)
Still standing all alone
That's not the way that it's supposed to be
Chorus:
Thorn in my side
- Turning Japaneese
I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote I love you
I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
- Turning Japanese
I got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around
- Undefeated
I see you have lost the ambition to love
When did you get so hard and callous?
Things are good today
But I think I've had enough
Here comes the part where you turn off the switch
Everyone's dumb, Taking the wind out of your sails
Victory claimed, this is your song
- Under The Garden
On a morning in November you were blinded by the sun
In your place that makes you feel so safe from everyone
You're totally oblivious to world poverty
Not affected by the millions that you don't see
And so we toast to opportunity and talk about the weather
Although we never look each other in the eye
We are paranoid and out of step with every word that we just said
- Until It's Gone
Buildings will replace the trees
Pollution will replace the air we breathe
I'm close to the mountain, 15 miles away
But I can't see the hills from here today
We can't just let it pass us by
And as I look into the sky
Something in the atmosphere
- Yours To Destroy
Suddenly I see myself returning
To the scene where I was ridden of this crime
Looking at the outline of the chalk drawn on the street
I left so much behind here that the silhouette was me
I never thought that we were miserable
But how can two be only in it for themselves?
There is nothing left to say, I've swallowed my tongue anyway
