FEAR
learn how to fear
learn how to fear
(belief is not relief)
learn how to fear
i'm the only one that knows
i'm the only one that cares
standing all alone in a
world gone to hell
but fear will keep you in line
learn how to fear
learn how to fear
(belief is not relief)
learn how to fear
belief is a tool
to build your fears upon
fear the unexplainable
until fear is gone
learn how to fear
learn how to fear
(what you don't understand)
NOT ABOUT THE MONEY
you can't tell me it's all about the money
getting it done is all of the fun
the rush and the push to get it for free
it's not about the stealing, it's all about the greed
the pictures, the money, the lies you tell
everyone has secrets, everyone's for sale
by hook, by crook, the money you took
with a lie, with a gun
it was all for fun
friend to no man
and no man's a friend
it's all about how much
you get in the end
everything you do is all about the money
never been a day that you weren't paid
the rush and the push to get it for free
it's not about the lying, it's all about the greed
give you photos and secrets to sale
you know what to do and how to blackmail
by hook, by crook, by the pictures you took
with a smile when it's done
it was all for fun
friend to no man
and no man's a friend
it's all about how much
you get in the end
MINE
for every truth i tell
there's a dollar to spend
for every lie i believe
there's a dollar i lend
i was born in the year without a sign
they left it to the past and i made it mine
no joker, no thief, maybe a poet or a cryer
trying to sell the past but there ain't no buyer
yeah, you sell your days and your nights away
saving all your money for some SUNNY DAY
you wish upon stars that are ready to fall
waiting on some friend who will never call
drink sparkling water from a crystal glass
not trying to be you, just one of the mass
you can do anything that your fate designs
but stay away from the future 'cause it's already mine
for every truth i tell
there's a dollar to spend
for every lie i believe
there's a dollar to lend
put your trust in plastic money or paper
smoke out tomorrow into chemical vapor
dress in your tommy red, white and blue
looking like a wannabe ain't nothing new
convince yourself your life is only a dream
get in touch with your soul with a mantra scream
read a thousand books on who you should be
fly through the clouds and swim the seven seas
build your house on the highest hill
find a brand new icon that you want to kill
cloud your head with medicine and wine
but stay away from the future 'cause it's already mine
for every truth i tell
there's a dollar to spend
for every lie i believe
there's a dollar to lend
DREAMING
she keeps vitamin e in her overnight case
she sings with the angels
but she feels out of place
sunday mornings are just reminders
by monday they're memories
put behind her blinders
now she lives by herself
by the side of the road
she's got no one to blame
and nowhere to go
life is slowly passing her by
watching the sun
and waiting to die
ignoring the facts
and believing the lies
she's dreaming
tragedy strikes in the shape of truth
this way is not hers
she fights it nail and tooth
her backs to a wall
that she has built
the bricks are her choices
mortar, blood she has spilt
now she lives by herself
by the side of the road
she's got no one to blame
and nowhere to go
life is slowly passing her by
watching the sun
and waiting to die
ignoring the facts
and believing the lies
she's dreaming
METEMPSYCHOSIS
verdict of wine and the bread is stale
is the hand rusty?
is the heart for sale?
(a thief in the night)
you can try to buy
or try to rent
trapped in a metaphor
the money's spent
i can try to borrow
or try to steal
forget the enigma
i'm trying to kill
we can try to hold
or let it go
this is the answer
we'll never know
(a thief in the night)
verdict of wine and the bread is stale
is the hand rusty?
is the heart for sale?
(a thief in the night)
three crosses in the wind and
she stood in the line of fire
(passion, lust, fear, & guilt)
three crosses in the wind and
she stood in the line of fire
(confession, want, anger, & need)
three crosses in the wind and
she stood in the line of fire
(confusion, desire, anguish, & shame)
you can try to buy
or try to rent
trapped in a metaphor
the money's spent
i can try to borrow
or try to steal
forget the enigma
i'm trying to kill
we can try to hold
or let it go
this is the answer
we'll never know
(a thief in the night)
verdict of wine and the bread is stale
is the hand rusty?
is the heart for sale?
(a thief in the night)
STRAWBERRY MILK
like whispers from angels
with a voice of silk
her world is calm
with the taste of strawberry milk
it soothes her soul
when her work is done
drinking the milk
is half of the fun
nothing short of afterglow
there's no need for dreams
she opens her eyes
reality's not what it seems
i believe in you
please believe in me
we're riders in time
into the place sublime
beyond the light fantastic
into the magical plastic
words and milk and strawberry kisses
she comes like an angel
with words of silk
she calms my world
with strawberry milk
it's time to relax
time to let pressure go
strawberry milk
time to let it flow
PRETTY & BROKEN
she says all the things
that daddy wants to be said
she reads all the books
that mommy wants read
her friends say she's happy
but her friends may lie
she's pretty
pretty & broken
she's too young to date
but the boys don't care
she walks in the room
and they know she's there
her friends say she's happy
but her friends may lie
she's pretty
pretty & broken
she's pretty
she's pretty & broken
she thinks
she thinks that she's free
she's shackled
she's shackled and chained
daddy's not nothing
but a corporate whore
mommy's not nothing
but a social bore
she's pretty
she's pretty & broken
she thinks
she thinks that she's free
she's shackled
she's shackled and chained
she says all the things
that daddy wants to be said
she reads all the books
that mommy wants read
her friends say she's happy
but her friends may lie
she's pretty
pretty & broken
SLOW MOMENT
there's a slow moment in time
that allows us to get the wisdom
that allows us to see the symptom
of our failure
and seclusion
trust isn't the game
not what I see not what i have for you
i'm not the same, learned how to bleed
yeah, i've bled for you
there's a slow moment in time
that allows us to get the wisdom
that allows us to see the symptom
of our failure
and seclusion
truth is the fight
not what you want not what you give to me
you're not the same you cannot feel
you can't bleed for me
THE NEW REVOLUTION
tell me all about your hopes
tell me all about your dreams
tell me all about your future
tell me all about your schemes
tell me all about your vision
tell me about your real solution
tell me all about your freedom
tell me about your revolution
tell me all about your desires
tell me all about your need
tell me all about your hurting
tell me what makes you bleed
tell me all about your wishes
tell me about your real solution
tell me all about your freedom
tell me about your revolution
MAKE IT THROUGH TONIGHT
black moon rising high in the sky
one last whisper its just another lie
you said you wouldn't leave me again
but that's not the rumor blowing in the wind
if i can make it through tonight
i think i'll be alright
if i sleep at night
then i'll know it wasn't right
but first i gotta make it
make it through tonight
you're not the person i thought i could trust
all your needs became my must
i lost my soul and i lost my heart
now in your life i've lost my part
if i can make it through tonight
i think i'll be alright
if i sleep at night
then i'll know it wasn't right
but first i gotta make it
make it through tonight
X
smoke and grease and no more dreams
the world is old and getting older
metal steel and spilt blood
the world is cold and getting colder
we're living in the final age
heaven wait i am coming
trust is gone we are fools
all the violence is so numbing
is this what we're waiting for?
where is the outside? where is the inside?
i'm addicted to myself
i'm addicted to my world
where is the outside? where is the inside?
i'm addicted to myself
i'm addicted to my world
fire fusion and ripped flesh
hope is thin and getting thinner
concrete gas and crushed bone
we've seen the sin and i'm the sinner
i'm wishing on the last star
the end is near the end is here
life is a game and we are pawns
time is up time to fear
is this what we've waited for?
where is the outside? where is the inside?
i'm addicted to myself
i'm addicted to my world
where is the outside? where is the inside?
i'm addicted to myself
i'm addicted to my world
x marks the spot
x marks the spot
WASTE OF TIME
i never feel like wasting time on
anyone but you
i never feel like wasting time on
anyone but you
t.v. radio
waste of time
eat sleep
waste of time
walk talk
waste of time
dream scheme
waste of time
lust love
waste of time
right wrong
waste of time
i never feel like wasting time on
anyone but you
i never feel like wasting time on
anyone but you
