We're coming home on a plane crash
We trip away through the night
We're breaking up on impact
We'll bring it to you live
We're creeping into your living room
We're crawling into your bed
We're taking you all back to school
We're bringing you our dead
We found a friend in Jesus
Via sattelite
He says there's nothing to regret
Just bring it to me live
We're itching, we need it
Your broken, your bleeding
We're living, we're learning
We're watching you burning
We know what we really want
I guess I left myself wide open
I guess I earned that weight
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I know you saw, you saw it coming
Well, I saw it coming, too
Now with eyes all over you
I can't help but wonder
What we'll do under that weight, that weight
Take the bait
Take, take, take
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
Where's my friend, I need a hero now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Lips and cheek and full of drink and tell me what I said
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Never guessed the cost, the waste
Just a taste is all I wanted
It's been a long time, a long time coming
But this is how we make or break
Take, take, take
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
What the hell we stepping into now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Pinch and wink and full of drink and shoulder to the weight
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away...
Push it, push it.
Swimming in pride, my sweet thing
It's such a pretty night for losing
Our innocence, Our tenderness
It's all been kissed away
And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
Swinging your hips, you found out
It's easy as sin to put me down
Don't roll your eyes
Don't breathe a sigh
You're not so shy
So help me, now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
So hard to wait just for a kiss
Now we're the same, we're all regret
No tenderness
No innocence
It's all been kissed away
And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
To get a leg up you must put your foot down
You roll your sleeve up
You put your back into it
You get your head around it
To find the fast track to enlightenment
You must cleanse your mind and body
You must get your head around it
Must get your head around it
You want to be ringside, or in there swinging
You want the grand prize
You must get your head around it
Let's get your head around it
You want the last laugh
You want the victory lap
You want the finer things
You want the brass ring
You must get your head around it
To get a leg up you must put your foot down
You roll your sleeve up
You get your head around it
Let's get your head around it...
Long neck, short leash
Sweet lips are black, black, black
You walk, I lead
Little tricks, stagger and fall
Heel
You're crying, well listen
This time you really were bad, bad, bad
I will show you some discipline
Yes, you will learn some respect, respect, respect
Heel
God I love you
You're so pretty
Love you, love you
Pretty, pretty
Heel
Give me back my legs
I want to walk like I did
You stole away my breath floating over my head
Do you lead me on with your fingers across my back, well
When I drag you down you will sink like an anchor
You will, like an anchor
And as I'm falling out of the sun, back to where I feel safe again
How did I come undone trying to save my own skin
I want to be your hero
I want to show you the good fight
I want to touch your face before you sink like an anchor
You will, like an anchor
You'll come down on my side
You'll come down in good time
You'll come down on my side
You'll come down...
If this is a dream I'm happy you're having it with me
I will stay and savor the way you move me
Don't want to miss one detail, one sweet smile from your lips
One kiss sets me adrift
Chase the stars as they fall down and light up where you are
They are yours for the keeping
Trace the curves of the sheets
A riddle of desire when I watch you sleeping
Pressed against the sky, eyes wide open...
Shut down the disease, brush it aside and stand up off your knees
Tip the scales, spin me some horrible, beautiful tales
Now you're weak, and you're tired and lonely
You can't see what could be yours for keeps all the while
You can take what you want
But you're not so nice any more
Everything we have we steal
Run your fingers over me
Pull away the skin, uncover the disease
With a weakness and a tenderness we kiss
Consuming each other all over again
You can take what you want
But you're not so nice any more
Everything we have we steal
Give me your hand and I will hold it forever
On my nightstand in a box with your love letters
I love you dear, and I know we will not be parted
I'll keep you near, scattered around my apartment
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Give me your hair, just a lock will do
An old photograph to capture the spirit of you
And I'll keep these things wrapped up in an old cotton blouse
The one you wore that summer before your love petered out
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Laid on my bed
A beautiful mess
My whole world
Jigsaw girl
You gave me your hand
You gave me your hand
I don't understand why you don't want it back
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Honey I tell you true I'll never lose you...
Peel away your skin just a little more
You can let me in just a little more
Can you taste it, I do
When you bite down on the truth
We can peel away just a little more
I'll cut you right down to your sweetness
Right to your sweetness
I know it hurts real bad to lay it open
I've tried so hard myself to make you love it
My love, my pride
I swallow you tonight
We can peel away just a little more
I'll cut you right down to your sweetness
Right to your sweetness
Peel away, peel away
Cut right down to the soul, to the center of you
I found me a home for the sinner in me
Cut down to the soul, to the center of you
I found me a home for the sinner in me
Cut down
The sinner in me
I'll eat you slow, my sweetness
You give control, my sweetness
I drink you down, my sweetness
I think I found my sweetness
my sweetness
Never heard you say goodbye
Read your letter, made me cry
Saw you with another guy
Never one to waste your time
You're in love, you're in love
Hell below me, stars above
Saw you with that other man
Feathered hair and tall and tan
Treat him like I know you can
Stroke his cheek and hold his hand
You're in love, you're in love
Hell below me, stars above
Stars above are shining down
Nothing ever gonna hurt me now
And I slip away happy as a clam
Stars above are smiling now
Ever since you put me down
And I close my eyes, and I can't see your face
Stars above are shining down...
In the middle of a house, in the middle of nowhere
Bodies glide from room to room
I hate these walls
They speak to me
Hey skin like a doll
You're no friend of the family
Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them when their time is up
And when it's over
He takes her hand, and he kisses her cheek
She's a doll, oh yeah she's his spitting image
Where have you gone
You're still a part of me
Hey skin like a doll
You're no friend of the family
Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them when their time is up
And now it's over
Where have you gone
You're still a part of me
Are you gonna save me?
Can you save me?
Are you gonna save me?
Can you save me?
Ya gonna make me happy?
Ya gonna make me smile?
Can you save me?
Are you gonna save me?
Ya gonna make me happy?
Can you save me?
Tell me, mister...MISTER!
We gonna show you a thing or two about love
Be...patient!
Be...patient!
Love, love, love, love, love
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
yeeaaaAAAAHHH!
Are you gonna save me?
Can you save me?
Are you gonna save me?
Can you save me?
Are you gonna save me?
Ya gonna make me happy?
Can you save me?
Tell me, Mister Love!
Bended knee
Nine years old
Waitin' for...
Just one word!
I was thinkin' of all the things
My daddy told me of
Sin and salvation and
Manhood and dignity...
All that time
In the dark
Just one word...
Backslider!
I remember the day I stepped
Into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
And pushed my head under
And said...
Son I am
So proud.
Just one word...
Backslider!
Well I opened my eyes
And my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water
And thought I saw Jesus, and then...
Well I threw up my hands!
And I heard, Amen!
And I prayed, sweet Jesus
Don't let me become a backslider!
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret
I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...
Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
(hey, hey, hey)
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!
Be my angel
Be my angel
Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus...
Didn't I give you everything?
Didn't I take you where you want to be?
Didn't I make you feel just like a queen?
And all that time I thought that I was gettin'
somethin' right
Look me in the eye and tell me somethin'
Am I supposed to walk away with nothin'?
Do I convince myself we never happened?
Well I guess I won't be denied
I'm gettin' somethin' right
Lover!
Are you happy now?
Quitter...QUITTER!
In the coming days the dust will cover
All the evidence of your first lover
I hope wherever you are now you'll wake up
And see just what a mess you made of this
'Cause I'm gettin' somethin' right
Am I gettin' somethin' right?
Lover!
Are you happy now?
Quitter...QUITTER!
You say forever
And I confess I shiver
You say hope
I say that's where I'm goin'
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
If I'm out hunting
Come right on in, yeah
And even when I'm gone
My doors are always open
And if I'm asleep
Make sure my blanket covers me, yeah
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
When i'm away
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
come right on in, yeah
I come from the water
I crawled upon the shore
I left my brothers there
I got what I came for
I sucked that hot air in
And rolled upon the sand
Emerged beneath the sun
To be a man.
I come from the water
I come from the water
That weren't no easy thing
It's more than nature
It's like my destiny
I stood upon these legs
And held my head up high
Emerged beneath the sun
To start a new life
I Come From the water
Life in the desert
Just to be together
The sand forever
The same forever
It moves beneath me
It pulls my body
My pulse beats hotter
So far from the water
I love to see the sun
In spite of all it's done
I pray for shade and rain
I pray to live again
I come from the water
And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait
We can drive to anyplace,
day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up
I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here,
and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!
I will be with her tonight!
I try to wish you away
I'll do more than wishin' someday
No no no more son of a bitch
No no no more wishin'
No no no more son of a bitch
No more happyface!
You and I have nothin' more to say
We'll do more than talkin' someday
No no no more son of a bitch
No no no more talkin'
No no no more son of a bitch
No more happyface!
No no no more son of a bitch
No no no more talkin'
No no no more son of a bitch
No more happyface
If I
could find
the will
to KILL!
Here we go again
No no no more son of a bitch
No no no no more son of a bitch
No no no more son of a bitch
No more happy face
If I
Could find
the will
to KILL
Well, I'll kill you son of a bitch!
Get Away!
Get Away!
You hurt me you fuck!
You hurt me you fuck!
You hurt me you fuck!
You hurt me...
Stop it!
Stop it!
You hurt me you cunt!
You hurt me you cunt!
You hurt me you cunt!
You hurt me...
...cunt, cunt, cunt...
...mommy, mommy, mommy...
...woman, woman, woman...
Stop it!
Stop it!
You hurt me you fuck!
You hurt me you fuck!
You hurt me...
Driftin' upward
Gently lifting
Lazy on the wind
Rollin' over
Turnin' slowly
Beginning and the end
Fire is bright
Fire is clean
Never so alive
Smoke is freedom
Flame is mercy
I am free tonight
And I burn
I burn
Stoke the embers
Cleanse the spirit
A prayer in every spark
Feel the lick of
Bad religion
The finish and the start
In the beginning
We were smarter
'n flame was heaven-sent
Through the ages
We got stupid
Now we must repent
And I burn
I burn
Sift the ashes
For reminders
Stony things remain
Tooth and bone
unimpressive
I have left these things
Because fire is bright
Fire is clean
efficient and divine
Tooth and bone
Charms and dolls
I am free tonight
I BURN
THE AIR
YOU BREATHE
I BURN
THE AIR
YOU BREATHE
I BURN
THE AIR
YOU BREATHE
I burn
I burn
I burn
I can feel it
on my insides
it's working
it's moving
and I feed it
carefully
and I'm really
not happy
with the things that are movin inside of me
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a big heart
I smell it
on my house
on my sheets
it's working
and I feed it
often
not ripped
not bleed
and I never really know whats happening
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a big heart
I remember when I was a kid
I had a bike that I got secondhand
I cut my head so bad I thought I died
and I never believed in you till then
and will never forget you...
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in,
I believe in you
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a heart
got a big heart
