Hello Sweet Girl, I just met you today You had a lot of interesting things to say Our conversation is making me think Sit down, relax, and have another drink Share all your stories with me We're not getting younger as you can see So whisper your secrets in my ear I won't be shocked by what I hear You can tell me anything I promise it won't sting I've heard it all and it's fine I'll be yours if you'll be mine You've been so wrapped up in your head You thought that this whole world was dead But now you are starting to melt It's like nothing you've ever felt You can tell me anything I promise it won't sting I've heard it all and it's fine I'll be yours if you'll be mine In your arms I find peace of mind The whole world stops when we're entwined In your arms I find peace of mind The whole world stops when we're entwined And when you dance and when you sing It means more to me than anything I feel my blood begin to rise Gazing into your beautiful eyes You can tell me anything I promise it won't sting I've heard it all and it's fine I'll be yours if you'll be mine In your arms I find peace of mind The whole world stops when we're entwined In your arms I find peace of mind The whole world stops when we're entwined Hello Sweet Girl, I just want to say you've made me better in every way Even if it's not meant to be I still want you to know what it's meant to me You can tell me anything I promise it won't sting I've heard it all and it's fine I'll be yours if you'll be mine

20 dollars in my pocket, let me drink the night away Thought you were worth it, you're not perfect, and you've led me astray Hit the pavement feeling nauseous, and the skies have turned gray Stare at cracks in the sidewalks, hide my face, just walk away I don't know what to believe in Let down, can't breath, can't function I'm cutting off the dead skin Complete my self-destruction Do you think that we will ever cross paths again? Will you know me when I'm useless just a shell of a man? Will you feel like a hero when I'm just a skeleton? Was it worth it to erase me, was it part of the plan? I don't know what to believe in Let down, can't breath, can't function I'm cutting off the dead skin Complete my self-destruction As I sit here listening to you tell me what I need Broken bottles scattered at my feet, my heart begins to bleed I don't know what to believe in Let down, can't breath, can't function I'm cutting off the dead skin Complete my self-destruction I don't know what to believe in Let down, can't breath, can't function I'm cutting off the dead skin Complete my self-destruction Feeling stupid, feeling worthless, watch it all fade away Tear some holes in my jeans, shave my head, I feel okay Cover shame with sunglasses, don't look at me today Fill my lungs up with the ashes and throw my life away

Your proximity makes me feel nervous I get paranoid when I feel anxious This situation's getting a little dangerous We talk and talk, but it serves no purpose Last call Now it's time to go, time to leave This is the end for us all Last call Now it's time to go, even if you have to crawl out into the sprawl As you start to repeat the story that you've told me thirteen times already I can feel my eyelids getting heavy Even though I feel shaky I'm holding steady Last call Now it's time to go, time to leave This is the end for us all Last call Now it's time to go, even if you have to crawl out into the sprawl She heads home feeling sour He knows he's getting nowhere She would rather be anywhere He knows he's just a stranger Now it's time to let it go, let it go, let it go Now it's time to wander home, let it go, let it go When the splintered shards of glass attach to your dress I am so alive as I view the mess I am only left to guess at the thoughtless gestures of your caress Last call Now it's time to go, time to leave This is the end for us all Last call Now it's time to go, even if you have to crawl out into the sprawl She heads home feeling sour He knows he's getting nowhere She would rather be anywhere He knows he's just a stranger Now it's time to let it go, let it go, let it go Now it's time to wander home, let it go, let it go Your proximity makes me feel nervous I get paranoid when I feel anxious This situation's getting a little dangerous We talk and talk, but it serves no purpose

Somewhere far away where mountains meet the sky we find our secret place where we can learn to fly We trade our stories back and forth as stars fall overhead And when the sun begins to rise she leads me home to bed When the darkness turns to light the world still burns for one more night Somewhere far away the garden is in bloom The echoes when you laugh fill up this empty room We hunt like foxes in the night We live off lives we steal And when we're full we feed the birds with remnants from the kill When the darkness turns to light the world still burns for one more night She helps me heal my mind She tells me that what you seek you'll surely find We fill our cups with sweet dewdrops and lie down in the grass Forever young in paradise Sand passing through the glass When the darkness turns to light the world still burns for one more night When the darkness turns to light the world still burns for one more night When the darkness turns to light the world still burns for one more night She helps me heal my mind She tells me that what you seek you'll surely find

What kind of vengeful demon god could do this to me? What kind of vengeful demon god would do this to me? The tears of the angels cause snow to fall gently down as foxes and vixens chase their tails around Far under the gray clouds the fires are burning the villagers working while children are learning While up in the sky heaven's starting to die Angels learned how to lie Heaven's saying goodbye What kind of vengeful demon god could do this to me? What kind of vengeful demon god would do this to me? What kind of vengeful demon god could do this to me? What kind of vengeful demon god would do this to me? In lands of madness puppets dance on strings In times of chaos angels clip their wings As shadows grow longer outside in the courtyard the crows start to fly and the wolves start to gather We're safe for the night in our own makeshift shelter We huddle together and ride out foul weather If you knew what this meant to me would you stand strong or would you flee? If you knew what this meant to me would you lose your life right next to me? What kind of vengeful demon god could do this to me? What kind of vengeful demon god would do this to me?

If you feel it a little bit then just seal it with a kiss When the fist hits the skull it's time to go, time to go When you're twisted, hell's below It's time to go, time to go If you split, then I will know the orchid blooms, I start to grow When the fist hits the skull it's time to go, time to go When you're twisted, hell's below It's time to go, time to go It's time to go to hell below, to hell below, to hell below It's time to go to hell below, to hell below, to hell below It's time to go to hell below, to hell below, to hell below If you come home tonight will we fuck, or will we fight? When the fist hits the skull it's time to go, time to go When you're twisted, hell's below It's time to go, time to go It's time to go to hell below, to hell below, to hell below It's time to go to hell below, to hell below, to hell below It's time to go to hell below, to hell below, to hell below If you sink into my chest will you fit like all the rest?

Fly away, fly away, little bird you can't stay Fly away, fly away, little bird it's okay Run away, get away, it's a beautiful day Fly away, fly away, don't ever lose your way Way down south it is so warm and may no one do you harm Inside I start to build my own view of the world I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in deep under the surface Will this hole be filled again I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in Hanging pretty pictures of all my lovely friends As you sit on the frozen lake the ice is thin and it could break A narrow margin to break free Will you even remember me? I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in deep under the surface Will this hole be filled again I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in Hanging pretty pictures of all my lovely friends I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in deep under the surface Will this hole be filled again I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in Hanging pretty pictures of all my lovely friends I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in deep under the surface Will this hole be filled again I have got a hammer and I'm pounding in Hanging pretty pictures of all my lovely friends My lovely friends My lovely friends My lovely friends

Gonna mosey on down to the ole drinking hole with a handful of sand and a pocketful of coal Got a leather hat with alligator teeth brim a skull belt buckle that I wear for a whim I shake the dust off my boots and strap on my guitar 'cause I get a free beer when I play at the bar I wander outside to get fresh air and when I laugh you start to stare It's hard to find something when there's nothing there and I carry a piece of copper to pay the dead man's fare Saddle up, saddle up for a midnight ride Light the fire and we'll head inside Saddle up, saddle up for a midnight ride I play a round of darts and shoot a game of pool I've got the eyes of a hawk and the wisdom of a fool I wander outside to get fresh air and when I laugh you start to stare It's hard to find something when there's nothing there and I carry a piece of copper to pay the dead man's fare Saddle up, saddle up for a midnight ride Light the fire and we'll head inside Saddle up, saddle up for a midnight ride She said "Mommy, why's that man so strange?" "Little girl, he's been gone far too long on the range. But I don't think it's in his soul to harm us." As her heart skipped a beat when she thought that he was dangerous I wander outside to get fresh air and when I laugh you start to stare It's hard to find something when there's nothing there and I carry a piece of copper to pay the dead man's fare I wander outside to get fresh air and when I laugh you start to stare It's hard to find something when there's nothing there and I carry a piece of copper to pay the dead man's fare Saddle up, saddle up for a midnight ride Light the fire and we'll head inside Saddle up, saddle up for a midnight ride And in the autumn evening chill she wonders if I think of her still And in the autumn evening chill I let the wind take me where it will

I can't wrap my head around the cryptic visions that I have found I can't explain the images I've seen What do these apocalyptic secrets mean? When my thoughts began to control me I sat down to get some therapy She said, "How the hell do you live this way?!" I said, "For me, tragedy's just an average day" I have a distorted view I can never be like you Even though you want me to change it suits me to be strange Should I pray for my salvation? Should I hope for reincarnation? Should I bow to lords of the nation? Should I live with this frustration? Do you feel secure as you sentence me? Will you ever learn to have empathy? You still try to control my destiny but sometimes you just have to let it be I have a distorted view I can never be like you Even though you want me to change it suits me to be strange I wish I could spread happiness I think that we all deserve bliss I wish I could erase my fear There's not much time, the end is near I have a distorted view I can never be like you Even though you want me to change it suits me to be strange I have a distorted view I can never be like you Even though you want me to change it suits me to be strange Everybody Can you hear me? It's time to rise from the debris Go out, go forth Share your love across the Earth Go out, go forth Share some joy across the Earth Go out, go forth Don't you know you're here to serve? Go out, go forth You will get what you deserve Go out, go forth Share your love across the Earth Go out, go forth Share some joy across the Earth Go out, go forth Don't you know you're here to serve? Go out, go forth You will get what you deserve

I started working a job (A job, a job, a job) Casting lead shoes for the mob (The mob, the mob, the mob) Pouring hot liquid down throats (Drink it down, down, down) Throwing my friends off of boats (Sinking down, down, down) I'm king in my empty compound (wearing a 2-bit crown) Watching the dogs run 'round ('round the empty ground) The garden is set for a feast (so gather around) We hunger for meat from the beasts (there's blood on the ground) And I'm playing games in my dreams where I control everything where I could be queen or king where lovers can dance in a ring I keep my friends close as I please (please, please, please) Closer than my enemies (I won't listen to your pleas) I have no remorse for this life (Life is full of strife) While I'm plunging deeper with my knife (Glistening with life) I can tell by the dress that she wears (She wears without a care) that springtime is in the air (There's flowers everywhere) She don't want this life for me (She wants me to be happy) But baby life is tragedy (Is there something here for me) And I'm playing games in my dreams where I control everything where I could be queen or king where lovers can dance in a ring And I'm playing games in my dreams where I control everything where I could be queen or king where lovers can dance in a ring where tricksters can do anything where peasants can turn into kings where thieves bring gifts to weddings where diamonds don't mean anything

In the lazy days, I live in a haze It's a phase, all the craze, caused by manic moonlight rays In the crazy days, not a single person stays In a blaze, in my gaze, I know everybody strays How long does it take to kick in? How long 'til it runs up your spine? How long does it take to start working? How long 'til I find a lifeline? It starts to give me the shivers as it circulates through my veins pulsing through the wild rivers coursing through my empty remains It's not what you think, I'm not under the pinprick I'm just talking about a feeling that I get And I smile when I hurt, 'cause my skin's thick as I'm climbing my way out of the pit Don't despair, just repair all the damage done You can fix it if you just keep breathing Do you care as you stare at the burning sun? Will you give up or start believing? Through it all I will stand tall Will you catch me when I fall? Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to reap If I should live through this foul night then give me strength so I can fight! When you feel pressure rising take a breath and let it go This world can be surprising You will reap what you sow If I get what I desire will I stop feeling low? If I'm consumed by fire will I rise from hell below? Through it all I will stand tall Will you catch me when I fall? Shake it off now, shake it off your bones again Shake it off now, shake if off, rise up again Shake it off now, shake it off your bones again Shake it off now, shake if off, get up again Shake it off now, shake it off your bones again Shake it off now, shake if off, rise up again How long does it take to kick in? How long 'til it runs up your spine? How long does it take to start working? How long 'til I find a lifeline? It starts to give me the shivers as it circulates through my veins pulsing through the wild rivers coursing through my empty remains

Get in line Don't stray, you'll be fine I've got something in my mind that keeps me moving from day to day, watching it fade away Power and money and honor and glory don't mean a thing to me, burned out memories Don't try to fly You'll get lost in the sky When they say don't I say do, it's better for you not to suppress dreams, lost in their head games When they say can't I say can, time to take a stand Be brave, be strong, it's time to right the wrong As you rise into the sky Don't let time pass you by You can't change when you die The world burns as days fly by Let go of everything you know They may feed you with promises of everything but you mean nothing, you're slaves to their poison greed If you are lucky and also good looking you may get what you seek, as you trample on the weak As you rise into the sky Don't let time pass you by You can't change when you die The world burns as days fly by As you rise into the sky Don't let time pass you by You can't change when you die The world burns as days fly by As days fly by As days fly by As days fly by As days fly by

As the wineskin passes over to me torches light this hall as far as I can see The fight is done, the dead sit here We've earned the right to kill our fear We've all paid the price with our sacrifice Now we drink and fuck and fight sing our songs and dance all night We held our ground with all our might Where there was darkness now there's light When life comes to an end does it begin again? Will our souls rise high to castles in the sky? We seek our rewards paid with bloody swords Now we drink and fuck and fight sing our songs and dance all night We held our ground with all our might Where there was darkness now there's light Now we drink and fuck and fight sing our songs and dance all night We held our ground with all our might Where there was darkness now there's light The crow plucks my soul out of my chest The battle's done, lay me down to rest
