October
I gotta start drinkin’, forget about thinking,
Every day a rat’s maze, religion on the airwaves,
Somewhere out there, it all felt wrong,
If I had a gun!
(HOOK)
When I think about you, I think about drugs
When I think about pain, I thunk it was love,
When I feel this way!
(CHORUS)
I’ve had enough of your rain now I’m sober,
I won’t hide from this pain or let it blow over,
You say can we forget that time well I’m deaf dumb or blind
You can’t believe we’re over,
that’s all.
When push came to shove, without passion, without love
You get no reaction playing the fall
Remember October!

Enter the Drone
06:16
|

It's all subconscious
Enter the drone
They made you back down
And now you atone
Swallow your poisons
Can you face the pain
A wounded child
Did you paint your face
Paint your face again
When did you feel alive?
Was it as our worlds collide
Could I wake up feeling
And believe we're healing
I can't let go
Enter the drone
I know you're worried
About the yard
Just do the dishes
I'll wash the car
Swallow this poison
All your lies the same
A perfect mother
Did you paint your face
Paint your face again
When did you feel alive?
Was it as our worlds collide
Could I wake up feeling
And believe we're healing
I can't let go
Enter the drone

Rainmaker

A China Doll and an Albatross
Walked the earth again
She has it all, but nothing she wants, ah
Bitter breaks the bend
I always saved her from those nights
We fought her monster side by side
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
All came down to facing tears
Finding love conquering fears
All came down to facing tears
Finding love conquering fears
I drug her up to the mountaintop
Said admire your existence and never ever stop
She switched it off like she wasn't even phased
Complications rise on her many bad days
I always saved her from those nights
We fought her monster side by side
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
Rainmaker
Rainmaker
All came down to facing tears
Finding love conquering fears
All came down to facing tears
Finding love conquering fears
She says men are just animals
Dropping one in the chamber again
Sex to her is always physical
You get what you get when you can
I always saved her from those nights!
We fought her monster side by side.
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
She complicates this
She makes it
Rain
Rainmaker
Rainmaker

Michelle
03:23
|

Far from the beginning somewhere in middle left
She said I know I have reasons why I won't wear that little red dress
Standing in this light at night she knows she should let it be
Conquered by this world of lies she can't seem to pry herself free
Oh, Michelle no hiding I know my tongue is a sword
Oh, Michelle love's dieing but it's hard to remember the good
When you're down inside when you fake alive
When your heart knows the reasons but your head's not listening
Feelings come, walls close in a tightening of the chest
She said I know I'm acting nervous, but every moment's not heaven sent
Water rises in the tub; she dives down bout neck deep
She clears her mind and closes her eyes says I just need a moment to bleed
Oh, Michelle no hiding, I know my tongue is a sword
Oh, Michelle love's dying but it's hard to remember the good
When you're down inside, when you fake alive
When your heart knows the reasons, but your head's not listening
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
I cannot run I cannot hide I cannot be part of this lie
When you're down inside, when you fake alive
When your heart knows the reason,
but your head's not listening

Space Monkey
03:58
|

It's been a dawg to breathe again
As I scream, this city sleeps
On this day of reckoning
I am a crutch; I am a freak
Space Monkey
Rising up, I try the mend.
Chains I've made
Won't set me free
Shadows come in to pretend
Enabling friends, my enemy
Space Monkey
Bury it up under the road
Show me the world I used to know
Bring in the love take the controls
Show me the world I used to know
All I thought of needing
Was all that left me bleeding
Bury it up under the road
Space Monkey
All my life, I've burnt both ends
It cut me off right at the knees
I thought this was an awakening
Killing the patient never cured the disease
Space Monkey
Bury it up under the road
Show me the world I used to know
Bring in the love take the controls
Show me the world I used to know
All I thought of needing
Was all that left me bleeding
Bury it up under the road
Space Monkey
Bury it up under the road
Show me the world I used to know
Bring in the love take the controls
Show me the world I used to know
All I thought of needing
Was all that left me bleeding
Bury it up under the road
Space Monkey

Tag Along
03:09
|
|||
Johnny, wake up. Don't tell me you're saved
Born to be tortured, does that mean a cage
You know we love you just as you are
Your world is violence riddled with scars
Tag along back home
Tag along tag along
Tag along back home
Your world only rises to cold
If you felt the waters cracking your skin
Seek out a pauper who owns everything
I know you are bitter lizards do tell
A year not living just draining the well
Tag along back home
Tag along, tag along
Tag along back home
Your world only rises to cold
Almost the frozen
Hand me a live wire
You thought it was over
You set a big fire
Out of control
Hates not the feeling
We all shed some skin
And bleed before healing
Tag along back home
Tag along,
tag along
Tag along back home
Your world only rises to cold
Tag Along Tag Along
Tag Along Tag Along
Tag Along Tag Along
Your world only rises to cold

Everyone Loves Suicide
04:23
|
|||
Mother-daughter suicide, a crisis we both deny, gets harder and harder to fake
Did you ever think of sympathy the bitter taste of Christianity
If you had to choose, would you choose to walk away
I believe the storm is coming.
And I can hear a funeral drum drumming
I don't know why everyone loves suicide
No need to cry; everyone loves suicide
I can't deny Everyone loves suicide
Father, wait, did you ever listen? We could have laughed about the stupid things I've done.
California was a bad decision, especially when you left me there to rot in the heat of the sun.
I believe the storm is coming.
And I can hear a funeral drum drumming
I don't know why everyone loves suicide
No need to cry; everyone loves suicide
I can't deny Everyone loves suicide
All I need, all I long for, is not to be a ghost while I'm still alive
I'm a seed torn between two shores. Will the winds of change finally let in the light

Every day is a killer, every minute of life
I want to wake up in Motown then continue to drive
Away from all these breakdown melancholy vibes
Don't tell me about visions what haunts us inside
I don't need a good reason to drive all day and all night
Away from all these weighed-down melancholy vibes
Letting go of the ghosts that keep taking us slow on too many Sundays
Might be late in the show when blood starts its flow it always rains on Monday
Pushing by, we'll escape this a black rose and a dead fish
No matter how far we would drive, break down melancholy vibes
We could sleep in the forest; we could learn how to fly
We could stop when we're distant then continue to drive
Away from all these hate-drawn melancholy vibes
Letting go of the ghosts that keep taking us slow on too many Sundays
Might be late in the show when blood starts its flow it always rains on Monday
Pushing by, we'll escape this a black rose and a dead fish
No matter how far we would drive, break down melancholy vibes
Letting go of the ghosts that keep taking us slow on too many Sundays
Might be late in the show when blood starts its flow; it always rains on Monday
Pushing by we'll escape this a black rose and a dead fish
No matter how far we would drive, break down melancholy vibes

Cinderella's Dead
03:22
|
|||
She rolled out in a fit of rage
Said I'm not going back to no velvet cage
Not going back to just lay down
I know I have a purpose outta this town
In her eyes, you could see
She finally found a purpose
And some positive energy
Walking alone in the pale moonlight
She said Cinderella's dead and
I'm up for a fight It was a cool, cool night with
A cold, cold breeze, her blood has boiled
To give her soul heat
In her eyes, you could see
She finally found a purpose
And some positive energy
It took years to come to life
All the pain, the strain, the strife
Although it was in her head
She said Thank God
Cinderella's dead
She woke one morning in a cold ass sweat
Because she couldn't believe it, she had no regret
No remorse for walking away, she said
I'm here I'm now, and I'm finding my way
In her eyes, you could see
She finally found a purpose
And some positive energy
It took years to come to life
All the pain, the strain,
the strife
Although it was in her head
She said Thank God
Cinderella's dead

Building this Mystery
05:22
|
|||
It has to be here in the dark I find (Dark I find)
All of the little things we left behind
Pieces of you, pieces of us we loved (Us we loved)
We fell in the same holes we kept on digging up
Breaking us down inside
We only live in the moment
I loved your eyes even when your heart was hollow
Why deny building this mystery
We never faced the blame
That complicates the sting of poison
Why deny building this mystery
Living the misery
Here I go climbing these same ole hills again (Same old hills)
Pictures in my mind remembering good times when we were friends
Long before love, there was always a constant bluff (Constant bluff)
We fell in the same holes that kept eating away at us
Breaking us down inside
We only live in the moment
I loved your eyes even when your heart was hollow
Why deny building this mystery
We never faced the blame
That complicates the sting of poison
Why deny building this mystery
Living the misery
I've waited for you to find me here in the dark
I've waited for you to remind me who we are
Not the scars we've become
Not the rabbits on the run
Not this world so undone
I'm so undone
I loved your eyes even when your heart was hollow
Why deny building this mystery
We never faced the blame
That complicates the sting of poison
Why deny building this mystery
I know you still love me
