>> A Small Victory

A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser
Yelling with my mouth shut
A cracking portrait
The fondling of trophies
The null of losing
Can you afford that luxury?
A sore winner
But I'll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn't bother me
But it does
The small victories
The cankers and medallions
They keep me thinking
That someday
I might beat you
But I'll just keep my mouth shut
The little nothings
It shouldn't bother me
But it does
IF I SPEAK AT ONE CONSTANT VOLUME AT ONE CONSTANT PITCH AT ONE CONSTANT RHYTHM RIGHT INTO YOUR EAR YOU STILL WONT HEAR
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear

>> Ashes To Ashes

I want them to know it's me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my head

Give it all to you then I'll be closer

Smilin' with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you

I will let you shout no more
It's on my head
I'll pick you up from the floor
It's on my head
I'll let you even the score
It's on my head

Give it all to you then I'll be closer

Smilin' with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you

Give the same to me then I'll be closer closer
Give the same to me then I'll be closer closer

Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain

Give the same to me then I'll be closer closer
Give the same to me then I'll be closer

>> Be Aggressive

I started this
It's all for me
What's yours is mine and mine is mine
That's plain to see
So give it up
I've got to have
I SWALLOW I SWALLOW I SWALLOW I SWALLOW
Be aggressive
B-e aggressive
B-e-a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e
What someone else
Would leave behind
And spit it out let go to waste
I claim as mine
You're my flavor of the week
I SWALLOW I SWALLOW I SWALLOW I SWALLOW
Tall and reckless
Ugly seed
Reach down my throat
You filthy bird
That's all I need
The empty pit
I've got to feed
To prove I'm fit
A healthy man
I've got to be
Malnutrition my submission
You're the master and I take it on my knees
Ejaculation
Tribulation
I SWALLOW I SWALLOW I SWALLOW I SWALLOW
Be aggressive
B-e aggressive
B-e-a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e
Go Fight Go Fight Go Fight Go Fight Win

>> Digging The Grave

It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes inside
Is only half of what comes out
Isn't that what it's about?
To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big black hole
Comfortable
Digging the grave I got it made
Let something in or throw something out?
You left the door open wide
I know you have a reason why
That knot is better left untied
I just went and undid mine
It takes some time
And the shadows so big
It takes the sun out of the day
And the feeling goes away
If you close the door
Comfortable

>> Easy

Know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can
You see I begged stole and I borrowed
Yeah
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
I wanna be high
So high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me
Oh baby
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

>> Epic

Can you feel it see it hear it today?
If you can't then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good it's like walking on glass
It's so cool it's so hip it's alright
It's so groovy it's outta sight
You can touch it smell it taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin' bleedin' lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive afraid a lie a sin
It's magic it's tragic it's a loss it's a win
It's dark it's moist it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?...

>> Evidence

If you want to open your hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away(evidence)
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify:
I didn't feel a thing
Anything you say we know you're guilty
Hands above your head
and you won't even feel me
You won't feel me

>> Falling To Pieces

Back and forth I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
But I know there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens...
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Layin' face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end losing the will to fight
Droplets of "yes" and "no"
In an ocean of "maybe"
From the bottom it looks like a steep incline
From the top another downhill slope of mine
But I know the equilibrium's there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together

>> From Out Of Nowhere

Tossed into my mind stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me-I'm yours from the start
I know you see me-Our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
Sifting to the bottom every day for two
All energy funnels all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...

>> Helpless

Day is warm I hear
The wind and the trees
I know I'm there but I'll never be...
The wind is soft tonight
The tide is low
And I know the way
I never felt better now

Sometimes life it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl
And then the poetry is lost
And without speed
Hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
I never felt better now

A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Mmm every leaf every stone
Every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
I never felt better now

I even tried
To get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours
And I count the days
But for once I'm certain
I never felt better now

Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help

Helpless x5
[You found a way to make me say "Help me please someone"] x2

The water's clean
I see that it's full of dimes
For every wish I wonder why
Why all I want
Is something beautiful
A place to rest
I never felt better now

(whistling)

Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help

You found a way to make me say "Help me please someone" x5
[Helpless] (repeated)
Found a way found a way
found a way to make me say "Help me please someone"
[HELP!!!] x12

>> Land Of Sunshine

You have a winning way so keep it
Your future
You are an angel heading for a land of sunshine
And fortune us smiling upon you
Prepare for a series of comfortable miracles
From fasting to feasting
And life to you is a dashing bold adventure
So sing and rejoice
And look for the dream that keeps coming back
Your future
Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake
Cuz everything is not yet lost...
(does life seem worthwhile to you?)
HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!
Does life seem worthwhile to you?
Do others push you around?
Is age against you?
Sing and rejoice!
Does life seem worthwhile to you?
Does emotional music
Have quite an effect on you?
I-I can help - I can help you - I can help you help yourself!
HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!
Varicose
Comatose
Senile

>> Last Cup Of Sorrow

This is getting old
and so are you.
Everything you know
and never knew.
Will run through your fingers
just like sand.

Enjoy it while you can.

Like a snake between two stones
it itches in your bones.
Take a deep breath and swallow
your sorrow
tomorrow.

So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.

It's your last cup of sorrow.
What can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way.

It won't begin
until you make it end.
Until you know the how the where and the when.
With a new face you might surprise yourself.

Like a snake between two stones
it itches in your bones.
take a deep breath and swallow
your sorrow
tomorrow.

So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.

It's your last cup of sorrow.
what can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way!

You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself

>> Midlife Crisis

Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like a lettuce
Go on and dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I'm thirty-something
Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis
Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree
You're perfect yes it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleedin' enough for two
It's a midlife crisis...
What an inheritance
The salt and the Kleenex
Morbid self attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
You're perfect yes it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleeding enough for two
It's a midlife crisis...........

>> Ricochet

All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"and it's okay to laugh about it"
I said "it's okay to laugh about it"
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don't catch my breath to the end of the day
And I'd rather be shot in the face
Then hear what you're going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
-And who'll be laughing then?-
You'll come up empty again
No reasons-no explanation-so play the violins
It's always funny until someone gets hurt...
And Then it's just hilarious!
You beat me every time you blink
If only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin' a smile
Think about you all the while
On the ricochet - it's going to hit you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me - when it misses you

>> Surprise! You're Dead!

Surprise! you're dead!
Ha ha! open your eyes
See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
When you were alive and when you were in love
And when I took it from you!
It's not over yet
You don't remember?
I won't let you forget
The hatred I bestowed
Upon your neck with a fatal blow
From my teeth and my tongue
I've drank and swallowed but it's just begun
Now you are mine
I'll keep killing you until the end of time
Surprise! you're dead!
Guess what?
It never ends...
The pain the torment and torture profanity
Nausea suffering perversion calamity
You can't get away

>> Take This Bottle

I can wait to love in heaven
I can wait for you
Far away I'll treat you better
Better than down here
Cuz I done wrong
And I'm a little afraid
I ain't to strong
And this ain't easy to say:
Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away-the both of you
And let me feel the pain-I've done to you
I can hope we'll be together
With a better roof over our heads
I can hope the stormy weather
It passes on-it passes on-
But I've hoped too long
Hoped for me to change
That hope is gone
So listen to what I say:
Take this bottle
