Patriach - 10/4/1999

VERSE 1
i speak to you but you don't listen
or maybe you do
and write off what i have to say as empty words
are you afraid i might be right
box yourself in
your own little world
you never hurt anyone

REFRAIN
don't want to be a part of your world
i am dying to get out
can't believe you could be me
i am dying to get out

VERSE 2
go about your work
swig back another bottle of beer
never knowing what everyone else sees in the distance
you are in control
you never hurt anyone

REFRAIN

VERSE 3
so easily you forget the daggers that fall from your mouth
and the icy touch of your fists on flesh
i guess it's hard to remember those little things
from where you stand
big powerful man
you never hurt anyone

REFRAIN

VERSE 4
you pick and choose who to love
and who to damn
keep feigning happiness
it won't hit now
no it won't hit until we are all gone
you never hurt anyone

Pathogen - 10/24/1999

you creep into my veins
fool me with your wanton ways

REFRAIN
you are insidious
take me over
kill my defenses slowly
how could i hope to counter attack?

i am filled with your lies
and alibies and self serving nature
my body is worn
but my mind aches more
infect me with your candy coated darkside

REFRAIN

you wrap yourself in disguise
that winning smile and those beautiful eyes
mold yourself into evil i can't see

REFRAIN

promise me love and i will succumb
promise me love
