1. Psychotic Break
I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift
And hope you'll never know
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Snapping two by fours
Punching holes in dry wall
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Chalking up my dead friends
And loved ones long gone
I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse my gift
And hope you never know
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Snapping two by fours
Punching holes in dry wall
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Thinking 'bout my dead friends
Whose voices ring on
2. Bargain Basement Howard Hughes
Don't deny I did you cold
I broke your trust and lied
Controlling, selfish, gossip abound
Cocaine mouth over mind
And I say...
I was my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking
We had our good years too
Though apart, you're still in my heart
I'd give anything for you
And I say...
I was my hands, pull the splinters
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Often heard, seldom seen
Bargain Basement Howard Hughes
Hermit phase, a woodshed rage
These days headlines are few
And I say...
I was my hands, pull the splinters
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
3. Owned
I'm a whore, can't ignore this my lot
Live in guest house of palace i bought
Guess my pimp treats me swell... I confess
I'm a whore, might as well be the best
Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raking, corporation roll
Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raping, taking five to one
Used to be beautiful
Never a moment dull
Surely the day will come
Put down when you can't run... anymore
I'm a whore, can't complain, this I choose
Trading pleasure for coin, kept court fool
Pay my pimp, treats me right, lets me be
I'm a whore, nothing more, somewhat free
Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raking, corporation roll
Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raping, taking five to one
Used to be beautiful
Never a moment dull
Surely the day will come
Put down when you can't run... anymore
Used to be beautiful
Never a moment dull
Surely the day will come
Put down when you can't run... anymore
Owned
4. Angel Eyes
Homely, thick in mind, never listen
Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision
Don't forget this chance only live once
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it all
She said I forgive you
Don't regret our time
You've got to move on love
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Bow down, piper leading, you were one
Hungry, took the prize, then you got dumb
Don't live out your life like a sad song
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it all
She said I forgive you
You must too or die
You've got to let me go
Angel eyes
Four years and Still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Angel eyes
Your face is all I see
Agonize
Forever haunting me
Angel eyes
5. Solitude
There's no out, downside up for good
No light, reflection understood
Had to try, perversion satisfied
Insane... So I indulge the beast awhile
When hurting yourself feels right
And there's nothing familiar in sight
Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life
Or seal your doom
Cold transparent blue
Locked inside a room
In solitude
There's no flesh, my own ghost awaits
Unclean, defiled, hallucinatory state
Lust, sloth, not my only sins
It's just how, when it's time, on a degradation trip... Yeah
When hurting yourself feels right
And there's nothing familiar in sight
Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life
Or seal your doom
Cold transparent blue
Locked inside a room
In solitude
Insanity takes you
So black it's untrue
So black it's untrue
6. Mother's Spinning In Her Grave (Glass Dick Jones)
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
you wouldn't leave it alone
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
you couldn't leave it alone
glass cuts up your hide
black mark on your soul
burning up your life
feed the glass d**k jones
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
your need to be the dog
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
the you that's already gone
chorus
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
you wouldn't leave it alone
mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
your need to be the dog
chorus
7. Hellbound
Going down a last act scene
Curtain call being bowing
Self-appointed abuse king
Hellbound, that's my belief
Black eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing streams long stilled
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down
Justified, a self-made man
All I do is do what I can
Edges sharpened, blasted sand
Bizarre, devoted fan
Black eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing streams long stilled
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down
Washington, a fish bell rust
Sad chapter read last page first
Black eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing streams long stilled
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down
8. Spiderbite
9. Profalse Idol
10. Feel The Void
11. Locked On
12. Gone
13. 31/32
