Lonliness Is Not A Phase
Field Of Pain Is Where I Graze
Serenity Is Far Away
Say My Reflection And Cried
So Little Hope That I Died
Feed Me Your Lies, Open Wide
Weight Of My Heart, Not The Size
Pink Cloud Has Now Turned To Grey
All That I Want Is To Play
Get On Your Knees Time To Pray
5. Would?
Know Me Broken By My Master
Teach Thee On Child Of Love Hereafter
Into The Flood Again
Same Old Trip It Was Back Then
So I Made A Big Mistake
Try To See It Once My Way
Drifting Body Its Sole Desertion
Flying Not Yet Quite The Notion
Am I Wrong?
Have I Run Too Far To Get Home?
Am I Gone?
And Left You Here Alone
If I Would Could You?
6. No Excuses
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
7. I Stay Away
Yeah, I want to travel south
This year
Aaah, Woah, Woah
Won't prevent safe passage here
Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shade
Yeah, hey Yeah, tears that soak
A callous heart
Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you'll see
I stay away
8. Grind
In the darkest hole
you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the
body dies, yeah
Come the morning light
it's a see through show
What you may have heard and
what you think you know, yeah
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
Sure to play a part
so you love the game
And in truth your lies
become one and same, yeah
I could set you free,
rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking
as I take you down, yeah
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
In the darkest hole
you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral
before the body dies, yeah
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
9. Heaven Beside You
Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don´t like what I see
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you think you have it still, heaven inside you
So there´s problems in your life
That´s fucked up, and I´m not blind
I´m just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind
Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I´m down and blue
Rather be me than you
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you
So there´s problems in your life
That´s fucked up, and I´m not blind
I´m just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you know you have it still, heaven inside you
So there´s problems in your life
That´s fucked up, but You´re not blind
You´re just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind
10. Again
Hey
Let them do it again
Yeah
Hey
You said you were my friend
Hey
Turn me upside down
Hey
Feelin´ so down
Hey
Hey
You made a fool of me again
Again (8x)
Hey
I know I made the same mistakes
I
I won´t do it again, no
Why
Why you slap me in the face, ow
I
I didn´t say it was okay, no
No
No
You violate a part of me again
Again (8x)
Hey
You had time to think it out, yeah
Hey
Your weak will won´t help her heal her heart, no
Hey
I´ll bet it really eats you up
Extending part of me again
Again (8x)
Ooo
Doot doot, yeah (16x)
