Bleed the Freak
Check My Brain
Again
Them Bones
Dam That River
Rain when I die
Down in a hole
Sickman
Rooster
Nutshell
No Excuses
Hollow
We Die Young
Man in the Box
The One You Know
Would?
Rooster
Bleed the Freak
My cup runneth over
Like blood from a stone

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

When the pig runs slower
Let the arrow fly
When the sin lies bolder
I'll pluck out thine eye

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

If you scorn my lover
Satan got your thigh
If you steal in hunger
I will kick you when you try

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

"All these things that you've done for me,
Have left me so... FUCKING TIRED
I'm not saying that you haven't done a lot of good,
But if there's one thing you can do,
You can BLEED FOR ME, BLEED FOR ME"

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I like to see
How you all would bleed for me

Check My Brain
And so I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

I walk these streets, a creep in a fog, oh yeah
When she sang, I answered the call, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Tears that filled my bong
Years expended, gone

I hung my guns and put 'em away, oh yeah
A trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Tears that filled my bong
Years expended, gone

Tears that filled my bong
Years expended, gone

Check my brain, check my brain

Again
Hey, let them do it again, yeah
Hey, you said you were my friend
Hey, turn me upside down, Oh
Hey, feelin' so down
Hey, hey...hey...hey...

You made a fool of me again
Again [8x]

Hey, I know I made the same mistake, yeah
I, I won't do it again, no
Why, Why you slap me in the face, oww
I, I didn't say it was OK, no
No, No...

You violate a part of me again
Again [8x]

Ah, ooo
Doot doot, yeah [8x]

Hey, you had time to think it out, yeah
Hey, Your weak will won't help her heal her heart
Hey, I'll bet it really eats you up

Extending part of me again
Again [8x]

Ooo
Doot doot, yeah [16x]

Them Bones
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene
I feel so alone gonna wind up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Tol due bad dream comes true
I lie dead gone under red sky
I feel so alone gonna end up a 
big ole pile a them bones

Dam That River
I broke you in th canyon
I drown you in the lake
You a snake that couldn't trample
Only thing I'd not embrace

Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away

I pushed then you stubled
I kicked you in the face
You stare at me so hollow
You got to keep that killin' pace

Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away

I burned the place around you
I hit you with a rake
You piss upon my candle
So prooving you're a fake

Rain when I die
Is she ready to Know my frustration ?
What she sleepin' inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come to try, try to take me

Did she call my name ?
I think it's gonna rain when I die

Was it something I said, held agaisnt me ?
Ain't  no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can hel her but won't, now she hates me

She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry

Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me
Slowly forgive my lie, Lying to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me
Prob'ly no, I know why, can't explain me
				
top

Down in a hole
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb... In bloom

Down in a hole and I don't know
If I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it
Like a grave
You don't understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won't let himself be

Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, losin' control
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in there place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath

Oh I want to be inside of you

Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, Feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, out of control

I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied

Sickman
What the hell am I ?
Thousand eyes, afly
Lucky then I'd be
In one day deceased

Sickman, sickman, sickman

I can feel the wheel, but I can't steer
When my thoughts become my biggest fear

Ah, what's the difference, I'll die
In this sick world of mine

what the hell am I ?
Leper from inside
Inside wall of peace
Dirty and diseased

Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman

I can see the end is getting near
I won't rest until my head is clear

Can you see the end ?
Choke on me my friend
Must to drown these thoughts
Purity over rot

Yeah, thought I walk through the valley of rape
And despair
With head high and eyes alert
I tread on a plain of many

We who are of good nature and intention,
But cannot touch on the dark
Recesses of memory
And pain work, so come walk
With me, feel the pain
And release it

What the hell am I worn eroded pride
Saddened 10 mile wide
I'm gonna let it slide

Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman

I can feel the wheel but I can't steer
When my thoughts become my biggest fear
Ahh, etc., etc.

Rooster
Ain't found a way to
Kill me yet
Eyes burned with stinging
Sweat
Seems every path leads me to
Nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to
Snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster
You know he ain't gonna die

Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures
Of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst
Mosquito death
My buddy's breathing
His dying breath
Oh god please won't you help
Me make it through
				
top

Nutshell
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...
				
top

No Excuses
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too

Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
				
top

Hollow
Turning in circles, slowing down
Pulling against a closing out
Easy to feed off a weaker thing
Harder to say what I really mean

Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold, blue sky

All of your colours turn to grey
Don't even matter anyway
Bleeding impressions where you were tied
Can't really say how you lost your mind

Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold

Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold, blue sky

Silence
So loud
Silence
I can't tell my up from down

Silence
So loud
Silence
I can't tell my up from down

All of the faces life can show
Withered and ugly the one you know

Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold, blue sky

Silence
So loud
Silence
I can't tell my up from down

Silence
So loud
Silence
I can't tell my up from down
				
top

We Die Young
Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way

Watch where you spit
I'd advise you wait until it's over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better

And we die young
Faster we run

Down, down, down you're rollin'
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Take another hit
And bury your brother

And we die young
Faster we run

Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way

Another alley trip
Bullet seek the place to bend you over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better
Faster we run
And we die young
				
top

Man in the Box
I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

The One You Know
[Verse 1]
I'm a little alike
You before things had changed
In a compass, I ride
All this feels rearranged

[Chorus]
Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An impostor, I'm not the one you know

[Verse 2]
I look the same outside
Nearly me even though
I carry something I hide
Underneath the one you know

[Chorus]
Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An impostor, so disowned

Are you surprised black water flows
From wells run dry?
I'm not the one you know

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Lay me out with our guilt
Watch the explosions fall, rain
Cannot live within this tilt
Carryin' over
I'm not the one you know

[Chorus]
Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An impostor, so disowned

Are you surprised black water flows
From wells run dry?
I'm not the one you know
I'm not the one you know
				
top

Would?
Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter

Into the flood again
The same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Drifting body its sole desertion
Flying not yet quite the notion

Am I wrong ?
Have I run to far to get home
Have I gone ?
And left you here alone
If I would, could you ?
