1. Inside of Me
I'm not the one that you're after
It's blood you want I can see it in your eyes
I think this is the answer
It's blood you want come on, you've had mine now let go of me
If love cut grooves in the mountains
Then love sinks in what I see
'Cause tomorrow lays black in the ocean
You're the color stained, the color stained
Inside of me
Are you a prize or a cancer?
If the shoe fits wear it, give it up and let go of me
I think this is the answer
It's blood you want come on, you've had mine now let go of me
If love cut grooves in the mountains
Then love sinks in what I see
'Cause tomorrow lays black in the ocean
You're the color stained, the color stained
Inside of me
Inside of me there's a notion
For ending what you call love
I'm not against finding
Something new outside of new
2. Broken Land
Feel the waste
It's cutting clean and building up
Ugly faces
Are turning blue and running out of luck
Leaders lie and people die
Many lost on broken land
Broken arms and bloody hands
Many dead on broken land
Love is dead
It's cutting clean and breaking away
Ugly faces
Are turning blue and running out of luck
Leaders lie and people die
Many lost on broken land
Broken arms and bloody hands
Many dead on broken land
3. This Is Fear
Muddy, mine...Mind lock insecurity
Play me, fine...Break out won't you cover me
Save me from this hateful state of mind
I was so beautiful, I was one of a kind
This is fear, look at what it's done to me
This is fear
This is fear, look at what it's done
This is fear...Sinking sand...Mind lock, insecurity
I play my hand...Break out won't you cover me
Save me from this hateful state of mind
This is fear, look at what it's done to me
This is fear
This is fear, look at what it's done
This is fear
4. Steamy Swamp Thang
5. Feed
Ask man for a sacrifice
He'll give excuses
Look deep in his callous vices
It's what he's made of
It's me
I'm his greed
Look not to the face we're given
It's hidden deeper
Look in at the truth that's spoken
It's what we're made of
It's me
This is me
My love is a burning fire
My love is a cage
My love is a funeral pyre
We're coming down to what we feed
Breathe in a smokestack burning
This is the future
Take in the dead crack yearning
It's what we're made of
It's me
This is me
Ask man for a sacrifice
He'll give excuses
Look deep in his callous vices
It's what he's made of
It's me
Look at me
My love is a burning fire
My love is a cage
My love is a funeral pyre
We're coming down to what we feed
6. Empty Room
7. 16 Ways To Go
I've been tied to a tree and I can't break free
I've been tied and I don't know why I can't see
I've been sucking the air that no one can breathe
Can't you see we're living in disposable waste
I know 16 ways to go to the end of the road
Springtime's gone for the mother, yeah, she can't breathe
She's been dying I don't know why we can't see
We're all tied to the mother, yeah, set her free
Can't you see we're living in disposable waste
I know 16 ways to go to the end of the road
My tired eyes
I'm drowning in these lies
My love divine
Are we gonna watch her die
I know 16 ways to go to the end of the road
8. Enemy
Even though you're a friend of mine
Explain to me what it means
All the hows and whys, should I draw the line
And take away the friend left in me
'Cause I've lied, yes I've lied to myself
In saying this is how it should be
I've lied so much I don't even care
I let you get the better of me
Tell me, are you a friend, are you my enemy
Even though you're a part of me
I can't confide in you this
Those walls I laid, that I built around are
To keep you down under my skin
'Cause I've lied, yes I've lied to myself
In saying this is how it should be
I've lied so much I don't even care
I let you get the better of me
Tell me, are you a friend, are you my enemy
9. I Slip Away
Sweet smile of thunder
Sweet crying rain
It's coming after me
That sweet smile of pain
I can fight it but if feels so good
I'll bleed freely as I slip away
Standing naked and my
Back is to the wind
My limbs are burning
As I face my living sins
I can fight it but it feels so good
I'll bleed freely as I slip away
10. Burn
Son of man is dead
The devil rose his head
He spoke to me an everlasting tune
Screaming in my mind
He sang a poet's rhyme
All of you will pay me very soon
In a crowded house alone
I'm at home
Feeding the vibrations of the night
I can see it coming back
In your eyes
Killing all the sorry souls in sight
I know no one
Who lives off no one
I'll watch you burn now
As I learn how
Little evil in my mind
Says everything is fine
Makes me walk alone at night in fear
Loving wrath the sun will burn
Killing you when he returns
No one's getting out alive from here
11. Mockingbird
Vultures on the skyline
Vultures in the air
I thought they wanted my eyesight
The truth is they don't care
I see the world in front of me
Angry at what I find
A whole world flock of mockingbirds
The truth is they are blind
Desert storms that fight to die
Are raging inside their minds
A whole world flock of mockingbirds
The truth is they are blind
And I don't care
12. Cracking New Ground
God please why was I born to this world
Was it something I did?
Should I do something to repent an old sin
That keeps coming around, I'm not cracking new ground
My mind is simply swimming in this
It's high time for walking away
Me I try to keep me to myself
I take it day by day
But I keep on thinking of everything
I let get in my way, I'm not cracking new ground
I keep thinking of ways to undo
Whatever it was I did
But I keep on falling over a past
That keeps coming around, I'm not cracking new ground
My mind is simply swimming in this
It's high time for walking away
God please why was I born to this world
Was it something I did?
Should I do something to repent an old sin
That keeps coming around, I'm not cracking new ground
My mind is simply swimming in this
It's high time for walking away
