1. Within
I tell you if God wants to take me, he will....
I tell you if God wants to take me, he will
I tell you if God wants to take me, he will
He's coming
Can't you see he's coming
With the touch of his cold hand
He's coming for you
The kidnapper comes from a space within where thoughts
have created the past again
The past again
2. His Last Words
When you're 'high'
If you could see what I see
In your unfocused empty child-like eyes
You'd see my father's blue stare
And the horror
Of the loss of language of an educated man
He recited poems and Shakespeare,
Knew the name of every tree in Latin Memory
The unjust cruel sentencing of bewilderment
And the dying of the brain.
When you're 'high'
What do you see
His last words to me from surgery
His last words:
"burning burning"
"burning burning"
"burning burning"
I'm in the flame
"burning burning"
3. Taker
I'm the king of avoidance
If you confront me I'll say I don't want to talk about it
It's the law of the jungle
I take and I take and I take
I only care about myself
I take with no obligation to the one I took from
I'll destroy you
As long as I get done what I need to take care of my needs
I don't care about yours
I'll eat you alive
It's up to you to push me out
I'll just keep taking
Its the law of the jungle
EAT OR BE EATEN
EAT OR BE EATEN
EAT OR BE EATEN
EAT YOU ALIVE
And I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I takeand I takeand I take an a mal an a mal an I mal an I mal an I mal an I mal an I mal AN I MAL AN I MAL AN I MAL ANIMAL ANIMAL ANIMAL ANIMAL
4. Receive
Mother deliver me
I'm ready to be recieved
Hold me mother to your breast
Hold me mother through my death
Into your arms
Into your arms
"Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now at the Hour of our Death"
5. Erase
Did you want to tell me... I go to hell
Did you want to tell me... I say my prayers
When did I become your definition
When did I become your definition
Did you want to tell me I'm wrong
It don't mean a thing at all
Did you want to tell me
Make my peace
Did you want to tell me
I'll never be
Define me define me define me define me
Defy me defy me defy me defy me
Defile me defile me defile me defile me
Define me define me define me define me
Defy me defy me defy me defy me
Defile me defile me defile me defile me
Where are you I can't breathe
Where will I go from here
What will I do without you in my life
Someone give me a reason to live
I have a posistion open
It's like this
You make me laugh
You make my life easier
You diminish my pain
Erase the traces of scar tissue across my brain
There all all these well-wishers, well, idiots keeping Score
and I would love to disapoint them
6. Cringe
The sound of a voice
Has become too loud
Touch of a hand makes you cringe
The breath on your skin
Hit you again
Lick of a tongue
Pulls you in
7. In Harm's Way
Kara it's only...
I put myself here
To see your face
I'd do it again
I put myself here
In harm's way
In harm's way.
I did it for you
Light beat wool wheat rock sand wind hand
Grace sin rain wind dirt mud milk blood
I did it for you
Kara it's only...
A small price to pay
I'd give my life
If your life is saved.
I did it for you
8. Seizure
I try to remember
Everything that's lost
Try to remember
Everything that's lost
Oh here I am
You can make me drown
Come take me now
I'm ready yes I'm ready
I'm ready yes I'm ready
You can take me down
I try to remember everything that's lost
Try to remember everything that's lost
Here I am
Come take me now
I'm naked and I'm empty
But I can't absorb this void
Even as I sleep
I feel you at my heart
