    Ain't My Bitich

     Outta my way

     It's not born
     Into your step but outta time
    
     Head strong
     What's wrong
     I've already heard this song before
     You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

     It ain't my fall
     It ain't my call
     It ain't my bitch
     Ain't my bitch

    The House Jack Built

     Open doors 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
     On my way to where I graze
     It swallows me
     As it takes me in his home
     I twist away
     As I kill this world
     Open doors 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 once again
     Don't want control
     As It takes me down and down again
     Is that the moon
     Or just a light that lights this deadend 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 tells
     Step into the house that Jack built
     The higher you are
     The farther you fall
     The longer the walk
     The farther you crawl
     My body my temple
     This temple it tells
     Yes this is the house that Jack built
     Open doors as I walk inside
     Swallow me so the pain subsides
     And I shake as I take this in
     Let the show begin
     The higher you are
     The farther you fall
     The longer the walk
     The farther you crawl
     My body my temple
     This temple it tells
     Yes this is the house that Jack built
     The higher you are
     The farther you fall
     The longer the walk
     The farther you crawl
     My body my temple
     This temple it tells
     Yes I am I am I am
     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 and pour me out
     There's things inside that scream and shout,
     And the pain still hates me
     So hold me until it sleeps.
     Just like a curse, just like a stray.
     You feed it once and now it stays,
     Now it stays.
     So tear me open but beware
     There's 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 chosen me
     Don't want your grip
     Don't want your greed
     Don't want it
     Now 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, holds you, holds you until it sleeps 
     Don't want it want it want it want it want it no
     So tear me open but beware
     There's things inside without a care,
     And the dirt still stains me,
     So wash me till I'm clean.
     Now tear me open make you gone
     No longer will you hurt anyone,
     And the hate still shapes me,
     So hold me 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
     Then 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?
     Where's your crown?
     Hot and cold
     Bought and sold
     A heart as hard as gold
     Yeah! Are you satisfied?
     Wish I might, Wish I may
     You wish your life away
     Are you pacified?
     All the wants you waste
     All the things you've chased
     Then 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?
     Where's your crown?
     Huh!
     Wish I may, wish I might
     Have this wish, I wish tonight
     I want that 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
     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?
     Where's your crown?
     Oh, you're just nothing
     Where's your crown King Nothing?
     Oh, you're just nothing
     Absolutely nothing
     Off to never, never land


    Hero Of The Day

     The window burns to light the way back home
     A light that warms no matter where they go
     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 you feel your name?
     Did you hear your babies crying?
     Mama they try and break me
     Still they try and break me
     Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
     These things return to me that still seem real
     Now deservingly this easy chair
     But the rocking starts the wheels of dispair
     Don't want your hate
     But the fist I make
     For you can hold no fear
     No not on me
     So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel
     But now the dreams end
     And now the dreams end
     They everlast the night
     So build a wall
     Behind it crawl
     And hide until it's light
     So can you hear your babies crying now?
     Still the window burns
     Time so slowly turns
     And someone there is sighing
     Keepers of the flames
     Did you hear your name?
     Did you hear your babies crying?
     But now the dreams end
     And now the dreams end
     They everlast the night
     So build a wall
     Behind it crawl
     And hide until it's light
     So can't you hear your babies crying now?
     Mama they try and break me
     Mama they try and break me
     Mama they try and break me
     Mama they try
     Mama they try
     Mama they try and break me
     Mama they try and break me
     Mama they try and break me
     Mama they try
     Mama they try

    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 its done"
     "The brightest flame burns quickest"
     That's what I heard her say
     A son's heart sowed to mother
     But I must find my way
     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama, let my heart go
     Let this heart be still
     Yeah, still
     Rebel, mind your 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 is said is done
     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama, let my heart go
     Let this heart be still
     Never I ask of you
     But never I gave
     But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
     Never I ask of you
     But never I gave
     But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
     So let this heart be still
     Mama, now I'm coming home
     I'm not all you wished of me
     A mother's love for her son
     Spoken, 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, cold stone all I see
     Let my heart go
     Let your son grow
     Mama, let my heart go
     Let this heart be still
     Let my heart go
     Mama, let my heart go
     You never let my heart go
     So let this heart be still
     Never I ask of you
     But never I gave
     But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
     Never I ask of you
     But never I gave
     But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
     Let this heart be still
    


    Thorn Within

     Forgive me father
     For I have sinned
     Find me guilty of the life I feel within
     When I'm branded
     This mark of shame
     Should I look down disgraced 
     Or say I know that you must bleed
     I am, I am the secret
     I am, I am the sin
     I am, 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 in from within
     So point your fingers
     Point right at me
     For I am shadows and will follow you whatever I see in my way
     I am, I am the secret
     I am, I am the sin
     I am, I am the guilty
     And I, I am the thorn within
     I do your time 
     I take your fall
     I'm branded guilty for a soul
     So point your fingers
     Point right at me
     For I am shadows and will follow you whatever I see in my way
     I am, I am your secrets
     I am, I am your sin
     I am, I am your guilty
     And I, I am the thorn within
     I am the thorn within
    


    Ronnie

     Stories taught
     Quiet town
     Small time for big time crowd
     Never talks
     Never plays
     Different path
     Lost his way
     The streets are red
     Red I'm afraid
     There's no confetti
     No parade
     Nothing happens in this boring place
     But oh my god how it all did change
     And they all pray
     Blood stain wash away
     He said
     "Lost my way
     This bloody day
     Lost my way"
     I heard it
     He said
     "Lost my way
     This bloddy day
     Lost my way"
     Oh please wash away
     But blood stains the sun red today
     I always said
     Something wrong
     Little strange 
     Ronnie Long
     Never laugh
     Never smile
     Talked alone for miles and miles and miles
     Yellow comes
     Sun I say
     Keep your smile and laugh all day
     He falls again in this foreign place
     For little boys how they soon chase
     And they all pray
     Blood stain wash away
     He said
     "Lost my way
     This bloody day
     Lost my way"
     I heard it
     He said
     "Lost my way
     This bloddy day
     Lost my way"
     Oh please wash away
     But blood stains the sun red today 
     Yeah, well all the green things died
     When Ronnie moved to this place
     He said 
     "Don't you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this face"
     Now we all know why the children called him Ronnie frown
     When he pulled that gun from his pocket
     They all fall down, down and down
     He said
     "Lost my way
     This bloddy day
     Lost my way" 
     I heard him
     He screamed
     "Lost my way
     This bloddy day 
      Lost my way"
     Oh please wash away
     But blood stains the sun red today
     All things wash away
     They all fall down
     But blood stains the sun today

    The Outlaw Torn

     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 seeks so I may find
     And now I wait my whole lifetime
     My whole lifetime
     The Outlaw 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 blast the more I bleed for you
     You make me smash the clock and feel
     I'd rather die behind the wheel
     Time was never on my side 
     So on I wait my whole lifetime
     My whole lifetime
     The Outlaw Torn
     And I'm torn
     Hear me, and if I 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 stretched 
     Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
     Hear me, me if I 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, nd when you see me stretched 
     Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
    

    Untill It Sleeps...
