MACHINE HEAD LYRICS
"Days Turn Blue to Gray" (2004 Single)
1. Days Turn Blue to Gray
2. Seasons Wither
3. The Rage to Overcome (live)
1. Days Turn Blue to Gray
Thou have fathered
Son and daughter
Doth begat, yet raised not bother
Paralyzed your children's lives
Wither vines of family ties
Self-destruction
Make him function
Crayons and clay
Days turn blue to gray
Days turn blue to gray
Seventeen when
Family begin
Drinking, fighting, heroin
Unquenchable addictions call
Responsible to none above all
Self-destruction
Make him function
Crayons and clay
Days turn blue to gray
Days turn blue to gray
Lest I taste
Its sweet grapes
Glass to tongue
Across it tips
Cross my lips
Swallow his soul
Please Won't you love me?
Please help me see
What did I do?
Did I hurt you?
And now that you're gone
Emptiness lives on
The guilt is all I feel No closure
Father Motherfucker No closure
The strings of my heart
You pulled on endlessly
This twine is severed
In tragedy
Father Mother Destroyer Destroy her
[Solo: Demmel]
Your self-destruction
What made you feel alive
Your self-detruction
Of your children's Lives
2. Seasons Wither
The taste of avenging blood
Suffer horror she's withstood
The crime takes a new toll
Rapes the soul
Hear her pain
Listen
To what she'd scream
I'm gonna see you bleeding
Face down in the dirt
I'm gonna give you back what
You've taken with hurt
You coward
I'm gonna spit right into your face
In grace you'll be no more
This scar makes her heart stronger
Your breath makes her days longer
Life gained through your dying eyes
Revenge, life's bitter prize
Feel reprise
I'm gonna see you bleeding
Face down in the dirt
I'm gonna give you back what
You've taken with hurt
You coward
I'm gonna spit right into your face
In grace you'll be no more
[Solo: Demmel]
The seasons wither away
And we pray you die
We pray you suffocate
In pain you writhe
This day we celebrate
This day we celebrate
Desecrate
This mind and body
This heart and soul
Will not be trampled
Will not crumble
You can't hurt me
Your power's control denied
And you can'r rape me
That moment's effect has died
You're a fucking shell that's dead in my eyes
Dead
DEAD!
3. The Rage to Overcome (live)
This world does not want me
This world does not care
And I am a product of this world
Confused, I'd say that's fair
This pain will never leave me
It's scared upon my brain
Destroying everything that brought this
Just to keep me, just to keep me sane
A hatred burns inside me
Emotion out of hand
But I've the will to focus this
Survive, contrive, command
From pain come a courage
The strength from injustice
The rage to overcome it all
An open mind
With a closed fist
