Torn and tattered, worn to the soul,
I look to a red sky and now I feel whole.
I kept a rose from a time past,
I thought we'd sail forever,
but the fix wouldn't last.
Help me to find a way out,
I can't deal with the pain,
I'm writhing about...
Crying and reaching out,
No one hears the screams.
Lost in a world of confusion,
I'm over run with cynical dreams.
The sun, the stars, and moon,
Collecting our peaces,
They give, but take away,
Crushed to bits and pieces.
Help me to find a way out,
I can't deal with the pain,
I'm writhing about...
Locked in this cell, this sell of self,
Ask me what it's like, living in hell.
I can't seem to see, past my eyes,
Blinded by the truth in your lies.
Locked in this cell, this sell of mind,
I can never lose, what I can't find,
Your iron traps were your irony,
In setting your snares, you've set me...
Free...Free....you've set me...
Free...Free...you've set me...
Free...From the pain...
Locked in this cell, this sell of wealth,
Pictures on the wall, hang themselves.
I don't want to want anything,
I'm afraid I'll wake into another dream.
Locked in this cell, this sell of life,
Sitting in the shade helps expose the light.
You must deny , in order to believe,
You will have to catch me, to set me....
Free...Free...you've set me ....
Free...Free...you've set me ....
Free...
Can I ever be free? Can I ever be free?
Can I ever be free? Can I ever be free...
From the pain.
I wanted to... Thank you for all of your help. But I couldn't help myself. And now I'm without you. Forever without you...without YOU! These ropes, they burn my skin, But I refuse to cut them. If I could live that part again, I don't think I could decide... I know we coud have gone somewhere, But I wouldn't pay the toll. And now I'm stuck in here, Forever alone...Forever ALONE! These ropes, they burn my skin, But I refuse to cut them. If I could live that part again, This time, I'd do it right... It's a constant argument... It's a constant argument... It's a constant argument... It's a constant argument.
On my bed...gun to my head...
I want to die, but I cry instead.
I lack the will, to take the pill...
I want to die, but I cry instead.
Inhibition, No ambition,
Quit your bitchin', I'll soon be dead.
Superstition, No religion,
Quit your bitchin', I'll soon be red...
RED.
Tie the noose, to hang loose...
I want to die, but I cry instead.
I take the knife, end my life...
I want to die, but I cry instead.
You made me what I am today,
You made me what I used to be,
You made me what I am today,
You made me what I used to be....
Cower in the corner, hide from the light,
For it is the dark, that truly is inside.
The man who leads, and is so revered,
Is the demon that causes fear.
They're all dead...They're all dead...
They're all dead ...(and for what?)
Cringe before the dragon, who belches flame,
He would slay you without knowing your name.
The day of judgement is at hand,
To rid the scourge from the holy land.
What happened to us?
What happened to us?
They're all dead...They're all dead...
They're all dead...(and for what?)
Slip it through the hole,
Do it once, you'll come back for more.
Tie a knot and tie it tight,
To the curtains of the night.
Flee like the animals in the dark,
Who run away with fear in their hearts,
Then return and stand your ground,
You're too high up to be feelin' down.
You ...Cannot rest...
Until...You've done this...
Pressure! Pressure!
Take the hand that's outstretched,
Come inside, my dear friend.
Don't be afraid of things unseen,
Some seem dirty, but may be clean.
You leave with no place to go,
You're caught up in the undertow,
Then return just like the tide,
You're too calm to put up a fight.
You ...Cannot rest...
Until...You've done this...
Pressure! Pressure!
Welcome to the circle elite,
Anything you want lies at your feet.
Open thoughts and open doors,
Deep below, an inferno roars.
Flee like the butterflies in the wind,
Flying free from their sin,
Then return and be at peace,
Take a deep breath, you're mind's at ease.
I can't seem to get past
this feeling I get,
When I'm lying here,
right next to you...
I'm not sure if it's
the pleasure or the pain,
But I like the pressure,
that I feel from you...
that I feel from you...
that I feel from you...
that I feel in you...
Unwanted... Machines... Rusting... The Heart. Nothing... My blood... Dripping... From every hole. A cold dark shadow comes upon your life, You've got no will, you've got no right. A pig that f_cks the earth, Drowns in a pool of sunken tears. A cold dark shadow comes upon your life, You've got no will, you've got no right. A lie that's swollen by hurt, Doesn't want to feel... Unwanted... Statues... Cuarding... The Heart. Nothing... My life... Flowing... From every hole. Can you kill me? Can you thrill me? Can you waste me? Can you bait me? Can you kill me? Can you thrill me? I want you to hate me... Can you want me? Can you love me? Can you take me? Can you rape me? Can you want me? Can you love me? I want you to hate me...
Useless parts lie on the bed, They don't fit this machinehead. Grains in the the oil, slow the gears, Coroded over years and years. Useless parts lie like in the dust, Dirty wheels are covered in rust. Steel, as cold and dark as grey, The war machine is fueled by hate. The Iron Tank is slowing down, Just like slaves, they are bound, Fit with the hoods of clowns, The ashes lie upon the ground. Useless parts lie like the dead, They don't fit this machinehead. Broken chains are cast aside, Stand up tall and walk with pride. Useless parts lie in the muck, Dirty wheels are caught and stuck. Sledge hammers broke the mold, The road from here is paved in gold. The Iron Tank is slowing down, Just like slaves, they are bound, Hatemongers stand and frown, Their ashes lie upon the ground.
The rising sun to the east, Casts the shadow of the beast, Cracked remains of broken peace, The devestation of power unleashed. The burning heat of a dark new star, Raping the land, creating char, Living in fear, always on guard, To flee in panic at the sound of alarm. The Devil's Tool... The Devil's Tool... The rising moon turns blood red, At the onslaught of Death's Head, Drums beat out the march of the dead, To signal the beginning of the end. Armageddon's approach has come, The horseman's ride has begun, Time has stopped, the world's undone, At the power of atom and man's son.
My tears drop to the floor, I can't take this life anymore. I feel like I've been left hanging, The heart in my chest is deafly banging. I've lost the one thing that I had, Slipped through my fingers like grains of sand. She was taken before her time, Why her life? And why not mine? All is fair in love and war, I can't stand this anymore, So many hurt, so many dead, Why is this the path we've led? One man in charge of many, Warping his sense of reality. He thinks he's right, but he's not, Cannot fight, his will so strong. A wounded nation is at arms, Innocents suffer a madman's charms. Laws enforced by a steel grip, Nazi facism isn't leadership. There's my life...a pile of rubble. There's my life...a pile of rubble. There's my life...a pile of rubble. There's my life...a pile of rubble. My home and family destroyed, All victims of maniacal ploys. Crimson hands for liberty, Life, it struggles to be free. Vengeance lies deep in my throat, tightens my neck like a hangman's rope. I'm no army, I'm just one man, But I'll take down as much as I can.
My heart is dressed in black,
My sanity is under attack.
Come with me, come with me inside.
Come with me, come with me and hide.
My soul is rendered anew,
My life is broken in two.
Come with me, come with me inside.
Come with me, come with me and hide.
There is no truth in what you say,
there is no hope, there's no escape.
A miserable life molded in clay,
I hate you... I hate...(you)
Finally something positive,
Maybe I've turned to a better page;
The Passage isn't over,
Open some Light for the pain.
To share experiences with doubt,
The end will soon tell;
Confusion is the enemy,
Who will open the gates to hell?
And without a warning, For my charred mind,
The flames flare up, burning me.
Oh, how I long for the chilling satisfaction,
Of an ocean blue serene.
The Darkness will paint the land,
The enemy has taken over;
No more Free thoughts,
Patience is no longer a virtue.
The System we've known has changed,
Take the hand of the High One;
He'll show you the way,
Into the arms of the Sun.
Give it a chance...
Wake up and change your ways;
Before all sense of time,
Stopped.
No more hypocrites...
No more selfishness...
No more confusion...
You'll know what to do next.
There is no right or wrong,
The Plan is working;
To stop the madness,
And end the suffering.
Stifled cries in suspension,
I scream aloud for attention;
but you don't want to hear.
Which way, I can't decide,
Infamy through suicide;
but you don't want to hear...
You don't want to hear!
Minds break under pressure,
Only pain is my pleasure;
but you don't want to hear.
I won't swallow any more lies,
Everything that lives, it dies;
but you don't want to hear...
You don't want to hear!
Lying gagged and bound,
Insanity is what I've found;
but you don't want to hear.
Rigid, mimicked actions,
Account for few distractions;
but you don't want to hear...
You don't want to hear!
Please mend my shattered heart,
I can't survive the dark parts;
but you don't want to hear.
The only way to escape this hell,
Is to enslave myself;
but you don't want to hear...
You never wanted to hear!
It is the world and we live above it,
Above a law,
Stand tall...
I can see your face among a 1000 crowds,
A terrible face,
Disgrace!
Plant a fist and watch it grow,
Through the rain, fire, and snow;
Then some day come back to that place,
And quiver at the anger of our race.
Greed among men is something we share,
It's a killer,
Thriller...
Brothers killing brother influenced by another,
That's a shame,
Place blame!
You call this justice...
State of the Union Address!
Our very own politics are running our lives,
Set me free,
Leave me!
They come to me and question me a sinner,
That's a shame,
I am!
Clear Cut (1997)
You can't tell me how to think but I might ask you anyway Not everything is as cut and dry as the night and day Disease spoils me pain's my life I like to burn anyway... Hair off my back in the burning sun I shed my skin just like a snake the inner pain it burns inside of me I'm filled, head to toe, with hate. You don't who or what I am or who or what I might have been When you think you understand I turn and then change again Flipping, flopping, in and out my personality turns about There is no peace, no release of hurt many miracle remedies that I take disease ruins me, attacks my soul & will I'm not sure but it's probably fate.
