KIDS DONīT LIKE TO SHARE
And now they're searching for that new messiah it's Their
greatest passion to set'em up and knock'em down put them on a
pedestal idolatry wear the ring you're married it's all yours to
their envy because you hold a higher key of senses and they are
drawn like magnets to a genius it's confirmed [chorus] set'em up
and knock'em down tour taste is so accountable this is no great
loss and sharing never was a choice it's burning on your cross it
gives you credit and a voice here to relay tour beautiful ideals
vicaruiously through Them and when he died too many were
sympathetic and they are all pathetic so you dethrone your ring
without listening and jesus christ is realized as he burns on
your cross but this is no great loss another one will come the
wait is short your search is brief you find another faith another
clark kent another superman flashing in the pan [repeat chorus]
and now you are searching for that new messiah it's your greatest
passion it's the latest fashion

The story it grows older the story is no story here i never knew
what it is and there's no sign of it ending as i am it and ought
to be they're telling me i am [chorus] bowling race car driver
superficial hitman you're on the list at every door you don't
bowl or race fast cars composition competition you drive just
because i don't go to the church where you reside i might as well
go for it the nineties won't be back again until i'm forty-eight
years old i can be the hungry as i eat my words again appealing
yet apalling rising to my falling going to extreme ends i am
gagging on their scene [repeat chorus] you shift i'm the driver
over time in it's defense i move their car and for a moment it
makes sense i fail them in the end i fail it in the end in the
arms of old age knowing only one to lose feeling nothing more to
hide consider life a forgery as youre gagging on your scene
admit to fraudulence driven to this thought death is certain
faith is not [repeat chorus] composition competition you drive
competition competition im losing i fail it in the end
SLEEP
Hi it's me i'm bored again all is well i'm not insane i've been
drunk for seven days everything is fine i made some friends broke
the ice then i ate bread and cheese to gain some weight keep me
warm everything's o.k. [chorus] it's me delivering psychosis over
the phone to you i color your world blue ten thousand miles from
you i'm sinking all alone treading new waters i miss my buoy the
van smells like a dirty sock everyone has got the flu i'd rather
be sick of you i'd rather be asleep [repeat chorus] when i get
home the band will have it's first hit song you and i will buy
some rings and a suburban home i'll bring home the bacon bits
we'll make our parents grandparents i'll take you out the
breakfast at night and then well go to sleep
SICK
I've been living for years in question some obsession was i less
to live without answers as a life cried wolf i'm ashamed to
mention my anguish but silence lies empty if i say it again can i
kill it will you lend me your ears breathe in breathe out exhale
acting sweating a broken smile provides them a view projection is
nothing new just once i would like them to feel it suffer in my
skin for a moment stand in my shoes filled with swelling blues
[chorus] i keep this room and this room keeps me chained to my
organs i am quarantined to a place that's dark staring at three
walls the door is locked to them 'maybe now that they all know it
youll find solace as you'r drowning in narcissism or is it
self-loathing 'cause you fought it all in your head boy
psychosomatic they used to humor you now they pity you and
nothing's changed [repeat chorus] the door is locked behind me if
i say it again can i kill it because they're sick of my
complaining and i am sick of being sick maybe these will cure you
completely chemicals deeply saviors until you're dependent don't
let them go to your head i'm ashamed to mention my anguish but
silence lies empty silence lies
RIFLE
I'm not the one who is pointing the finger you hypocrite we're
not true enough to be part but i speak of what i have learned i
haven't a flag to be burned born wrong descend upon us you're
only honest but are you an artist or just a preacher to those who
want to hate everything you told them to see everything you told
them to hear we simply ask them to listen and express what we
feel born right rifle me playing on their sympathy you're the one
waving the flag you're the one starting the war we're not
compromising or trying to conquer
WEAK
Come to know them and what makes them burn take out your
aggressions and alleviate the hurt fueled by some loss we'll
never know i sit down now 'cause i'm not playing with you abusing
amusing your peers and all your demons in passive aggression
accusing all else but you hurt the ones you've grown to love you
feed on them embitterment refills your empty soul release it into
them your sharp words alcohol enhanced fueled by guilt your
checkered past you had the last word and we are having the last
laught laught at me as i sit this one out and they're dancing
around me afraid you give me strenght to call it weak
BLACK EYES
He knows no shame and takes no blame this simpleton sees
everything he's only satisfied to point out other's mistakes
never afraid to use his pride his tradition is old his faith a
hand-me-down the family he wears them on his sleeve morale and
values left under a christmastree he once had the gift this image
in his grandparents eyes no guns no drugs no rape no end this
vacant soul is pale and blue in empty gaze his crow's feet are a
vision of defeat sick and tired of the meaninglessness the
irrationale he's desensitized his every need and emotion a cup
half empty but full of euphoria he's searching for the light
switch in the dark to switch his routine to find a reason to find
faight and piece of mind when one to many beliefs die it's tough
to see through these black eyes everyone forgives everyone
forgets everyone is true and no one here will lie to you he knows
the truth he knows the truth here nothing's certain disregard
what you've learned to find faith in piece of mind all of thier
gods died with his peace i should know him that heathens me
BRO DEPENDENT
I try to focus on what i hear listen to what i see i've thought
of it a lot and it's becoming all to clear [chorus] i take it in
excess as my true feelings are suppressed i can not find the
words to say it without hurting not listening to what you say now
watching the things you do as you take a dose of grief as you
insist there's no relief perhaps another drink and you take it in
excess as your true feeling are supressed you can not find the
way to cure it without hurting you cure it but it seems your
problem still remains obsession compulsion my friend overdoing
evertything so focus on what you need listen to what you hear
this is the last time i listen it's becoming oh so clear i'm
completely confused here [repeat chorus] i've spoken all too soon
RAZOR BURN
She broke up with me two days later i think she met her don juan
in italy she has a new man i have a new mustache now all my
friends are gonna call me mountain man and everyone will think
that i'm a stupid drifter to walk the earth alone i'll never
shave again on the night she left me facial hair grew
miraculously i dressed in black like johnny cash and grew this
beard of shame i've heard it said she looks a lot like sherilyn
fenn and sometimes i'm mistaken for billy gibbons i may appear
wise but i'm an idiot it's over she left me and she will soon
forget me she found out i was lame i grew a beard of shame come
all be faithful joyful and triumphant i am a new man i have a
beard of shame
SHAVING YOUR HEAD
We used to watch them fall and we saw them distraught but the
attention that they got it surrounds them for years we watched
them enslaved and we could only laugh what a loser what a shame
said we'd never play the... [chorus] and now it seems you haven't
learned the lesson i guess you have to share the pain andnow your
tainted blood leaves stains behind your back and in thier words i
hear your shame how can you lie to me when in your eyes i can see
glazed and vacant as you're caught in the act you've always
wanted this now you feel the stab are you happy to be sad is
there pleasure in the...[repeat chorus] as it make you sick do i
make you scared when you see what you once were as you're shaving
your head the scared boy thinks he's safe if you can't read his
eyes but you can read you can read his eyes his lies
RIDE THE SNAKE
Time to ride the snake eyes gone dead and blank i don't wanna
talk to a stranger i once knew single-minded hunt to fill the
bottomless well i can't afford the labor of the feelings that you
ask you tax [chorus] talk to me i can't hear you did you say the
pain has gone away just one question will i see you at the show
tomorrow or the snake they could never tell we are losing weight
they will all still love us if they can not feel our hell i'm not
losing face and they're not losing faith we won't have to feel
unless we quit there's nothing more to hide [repeat chorus] don't
you know that he does everything he buys the food and cleans he
knows what i need to go on this is your last chance i can feel
i'm fading and i want to disappear disappear there's nothing left
to hide [repeat chorus] will i see you at the show tomorrow tell
