Ain't My Bitch

Outta my way, outta my day

Outta your mind and into mine

Into no one, into not 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



 * Repeat



Outta my way

But now it's time

To kiss your ass good-bye

The House Jack Built
*Open 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



The higher you are

The farther you fall

The longer the walk

The farther you crawl

My body, my temple

This temple it tilts

'Cause this is the house that Jack built



Open door yes I walk inside

Swallow me so the pain subsides

And I shake as I take the sin

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 tilts

'Cause 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 tilts

'Cause 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 my side



So tear me open, 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 the curse, just like the 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 choosen me

Don't want your grip, don't want your greed



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



 * Repeat



I don't want it



So tear me open, but beware

These 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 hate still shapes me 

So hold me, until it sleeps...






King Nothing
Wish I may

Wish I might

Have this 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've left with just a name



 Where's your crown King Nothing?



Hot and cold

Bought and sold

A heart 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



 * Repeat



I wish I may 

I 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



 * Repeat




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't you hear your babies cryin' now?



Still the window burns

Time so slowly turns

And someone there is sighing

Keepers of the flames

Can't you hear your names?

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' to stay with something

I'm pushin' to stay with 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

I am the blood, I am the release

Come make me pure

Bleed me a cure

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

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



 * Repeat



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 you 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



Think I'll keep it for myself



Ain't gonna waste mt hate

But I'm so greedy when they say

Better to give than to receive



Ain't gonna waste my hate

No, no ain't got time to waste my hate on you

I think I'll keep it all for myself



 * Repeat



Think I'll keep it for myself



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 brightest flame burns quickest

Is what I heard her 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 of 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 you

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



The streets are 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 smiled

Talked alone, for 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 they soon change



Now they all pray

Blood stains wash away



 * Repeat



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 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 

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 the 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 

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 
  
  

* Repeat
