AIN'T MY BITCH
Outta my way, outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one, into no one
Into your step but outta time
Head strong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song
Before... you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye
Draggin me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call!
It ain't my bitch
Down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell ya been
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again
Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all
Before... you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye
Draggin me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call!
It ain't my bitch
Outta my way, outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one, into no one
Into your step but outta time
Head strong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song
Before... you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye
Draggin me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call!
It ain't my bitch
No way but down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
It ain't my bitch
Ain't mine, your kind
Your steepin outta time
Ain't mine, your kind
Your steppin outta time
Draggin me down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my...
Bitch... you ain't mine

THE HOUSE JACK BUILT
*Opens door so i walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And i shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way where I've been
It swallows me
As it takes me in it's fog
I twist away
As I give this world the nod
*Repeat
Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just the light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there?
Or just another demon that i meet?
**The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built
**Repeat
Open door so I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
Let the show begin
*Repeat x 2
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
I twist away
Away
Away
Away
UNTIL IT SLEEPS
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run, but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
The things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've choosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
I don't want it
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
KING NOTHING
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown
King Nothing?
Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Are you satisfied?
Wish I may
Wish I might
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown
King Nothing?
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want the star
I want it now
I want it all and i don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown
King Nothing?
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
HERO OF THE DAY
Mama they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do ya feel your name?
Can't you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid
But the first I've make
For years can't hold or feel
No, I'm not all me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel
*But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind the crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies cryin' now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do ya feel your name?
Can't you hear your babies crying?
* Repeat
Mama they try and break me
BLEEDING ME
*I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to something
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
**I'm pushin' my stay
I'm pushin' my stay to something
I'm pushin' my stay to something better
I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted
This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
***Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me I can't take it
Caught under wheel's roll
The bleeding of me
*** Repeat
I am the beast that feeds the beast
I am the blood, I am the release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught under
*** Repeat
* Repeat
** Repeat
CURE
The man takes another bullet
He keeps them all within
He must seek, no matter how it hurts
So don't fool again
He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
He takes his medicine
The man take another bullet
He's been fooled again
*Uncross your arms and take
And throw them to the cure, say...
I do believe
Uncross your arms now
Take 'em to it, say...
I do believe
The lies tempt her and she follows
Again she lets him in
She must believe to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again
* Repeat
Betting on the cure
Cause it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure
I do believe
Betting on the cure
Yeah, it must be better than this
Need to feel secure
Yeah, it's gonna better than this
It must be better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
I do believe
POOR TWISTED ME
Oh poor twisted me
Oh poor twisted me
I feast on sympathy
I chew on suffer, I chew on agony
Swallow whole the pain
Oh it's too good to be
That all this misery
Is just for oh poor twisted me
Poor mistreated me
Poor mistreated me
I drown without a sea
Lung fills with sorrow, lungs fill with misery
Inhaling the deep dark blue
Oh woah is me
Such a burden to be
The poor mistreated me
To finally reach the shore
Survive the storm
Now you're bare and cold
The sea was warm
So warm, you bathe your soul again
Good to feel my friend
Oh woah is me
Such a burden to be
Oh poor twisted me
WASTING MY HATE
Good day, how do
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
Ain't gonna waste my hate
Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
I think I'll keep it for myself
Ain't gonna give no more
Ain't got the time to help you score
I think it's time ya pleased yourself
* Repeat
Think you're worthy now
Think enough to even raise the brow
And to laugh and tip that two pronged crown
I see my hands, I see my feet
I feel that blood that pumps in beat
But where the hell's my mind goin' now?
* Repeat
Ain't gonna waste mt hate
But I'm so greedy when they say
(It's) better to give than to receive
Ain't gonna waste my hate
No, no ain't got time to waste my hate on you
Yea, I think I'm gonna keep it all for myself
* Repeat
Hate
MAMA SAID
Mama she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it fore it's done
The brigtest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard they say
A son's heart's owned to mother
But I must find my way
*Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let your heart go
Or let this heart be still
Rebel my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done
* Repeat
**Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Unspoken, Help me be
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see
* Repeat
Let my heart go
Mama let me heart go
You never let me heart go
So let this heart be still
** Repeat
THORN WITHIN
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within
And when I'm branded
This mark of shame
Should I look down disgraced
Or straight ahead
And know that you must blame
*I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow me
One and the same are we
* Repeat
I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty
For us all
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you
One and the same are we
* Repeat
RONNIE
Story starts, quiet town
Small town boy, big time frown
Never talks, never plays
Different path, lost his way
Then streets of red, red I'm afraid
No confetti, no parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But oh my god, how that all did change
Now they all pray
Blood stains wash away
*He said "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
I heard him, he said "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
I always said, somethin' wrong
With little strange Ronnie Long
Never laughed, never smile
Talked alone, miles and miles
Gallow calls, son I say
Keep your smile, and laugh all day
Think once again, in this boring place
For little boys, how the soon change
Now they all pray
Blood stains wash away
* Repeat
Yeah, well all the green things die
When Ronnie go to the place
He said, "Don't you dare ask why
I'm cursed to wear this name"
Now we all know why children called him
Ronnie Frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
They'd all fall down
*Repeat
THE OUTLAW TORN
And now I wait my whole lifetime
For You
And now I wait my whole lifetime
For You
I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
For you
I search the outside, search inside
For you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one who seeks so i may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime
Outlaw of torn
And I'm torn
So on I wait my whole lifetime
For You
So on I wait my whole lifetime
For You
The more I search, the more my need
For you
The more I bless, the more I bleed
For you
You make me smash teh clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime
Outlaw of torn
And I'm torn
*Hear me
And if close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me
And when you see me strut
remind me of what left this outlaw torn
