1. Bleed
Sorry, I'm sorry, but all I ever wanted
Was to find a little time to feel all right
Maybe, just maybe, you might turn around
And find your sunny day just ain't so bright
Liar, you liar, every thing you told me
Was another way for you to waste my time
Tired, I'm tired cause I've opened every bottle
And I drank them all but didn't taste the wine
If you've gone too far I'll be your shining star
I'll never let you down, I'll even bleed for you
I'll shake your demons down, they won't be comin' round
To make your life a hell, I'll even bleed for you
I'll bleed for you
Tryin', I'm tryin' to make it all worth while,
But if I can't, I guess I'll sing the blues
Cryin, I'm cryin all over the milk I spilt
And the bridges that I built to get to you.
If you've gone too far I'll be your shining star
I'll never let you down, I'll even bleed for you
I'll shake your demons down, they won't be comin' round
To make your life a hell, I'll even bleed for you
I'll bleed for you.
2. Machine
So many times you brought me down
I don't know why I'm hangin' around
If you think I'm giving up,
Think you'd better keep your big mouth shut
Silent winner in the game,
But for you I feel ashamed
You took everything I had,
I just heard revenge don't feel too bad
Give me
My place in the machine
Line 'em up, shoot 'em down
I bet you think you own this town
I got news and it ain't good
Can't believe you ever thought you could
Killin' you, killin' time
I'll face your face man, anytime
Someone tampered with your soul
Pullin' your strings like a puppet show
Give me
My place in the machine
Like a snake in the grass
Throwing stones, house of glass
Soldier boy you lost your gun
You lost the war, so I guess you're done
Give me
My place in the machine.
3. Take To The Sky
There goes Junior Superman
Got a gun in his hand again
Burnin' whiskey by the moon
Chasin' blood through your veins
With a fire that causes you pain
We need a helping hand.
Keeping a rise in you
With a fire that burns you again
It'll get you by
Oh, I know that's how you fly
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
You hate yourself, you love J.C.
You never get down on your knees
Seems you forgot the law
Say that water's thinner than blood
Nothing gets between you and them hoods.
I forgot what I saw
Keeping a rise in you
With a fire that burns you again
It'll get you by
Oh, I know that's how you fly
Take to the sky
Take to the sky
I'm falling down, can't get off the ground
You know I'm going crazy
Got a remedy and it's all for free
Got a call out to the man
Somebody says to me how can that be
We need a helping hand.
4. Falling To Earth
I saw you talking to the sun today
Hoping it would slip you the answer
Wanting to be the music that frees the dancer
A season of moments I leave for you
I hope you will understand
Hoping you let the lie slip through your hands.
Will this loneliness change me?
What will this emptiness show me?
Will this loneliness change me?
I'm falling to earth
I 'm falling to earth
We're all falling to earth
I've been falling to earth
For oh so long
Do the thing you fear the most
And the death of fear is certain
Falling to earth behind a tie-dyed curtain
You've been running so long
From what you need to feel
A champion of games you've played
I pray you don't miss salvation's short parade.
5. Earth
6. Angel Now
Baby give me one smile
Tell me when you'll come back
Tell me that you'll be an angel now.
If I started crying
Would you comfort me again
Tell me that you'll be an angel now.
She's an angel now
Darling let the time pass, time is not for saving
Keep it in a box outside your door.
You will never need me, I'm following behind you
A single pearl that makes up Heaven's Door.
She's an angel now
She's not really gone
Until I finish this song.
7. Out Alive
We used to live like strangers to the sun
We used to get unconscious just for fun
Nineteen and immortal would you believe?
The worst that I could get, the best to be.
Now I have my dreams but I can't sleep
From the fourteenth floor I landed on my feet
Never a thing that I wouldn't try
I'm just glad I made it out alive.
Tell me why Ben jumped the Golden Gate
Fifteen years ago, a big mistake
A victim of a city's social ills
We all hide addiction with different skills
I'm not preachin' no cosmic jive
I'm just glad I made it out alive
Made it out alive.
Now I have my dreams but I can't sleep
From the fourteenth floor I landed on my feet
I'm not preachin' no cosmic jive
I'm just glad I made it out alive.
8. Beg
I am just a beggar
Showing other beggars
Where I've found bread
I am just an ember
Of fires years ago
Still burning in my head
And still I beg
And still I cry
And still it burns
Until I die
And still I beg
I am just a poor man
Looking in a mirror
That I borrowed
Soon to be an old man
Looking back to see
That it's the wrong road
And still I beg
And still I cry
And still it burns
Until I die
And still I beg.
I think I'd better get a feel for it
I think you better go to jail for it
9. 50 Cent Sympony
There's no place to go
So I'll just stay right here with you, my dear
I need your sweet melodies
Harmony healing fears
A fifty cent symphony is all that I wanted to hear
A fifty cent symphony gets me through year after year
I wake every morning
And know that you'll never be gone
I love every word
A gift, a blessing in song
A fifty cent symphony is all that I wanted to hear
A fifty cent symphony gets me through year after year
I've now found a home
A place where I can rest
And I'll never worry
About the things that I might have missed
A fifty cent symphony is where I spend most of my time
A fifty cent symphony might not even cost you a dime.
10. Tons Of Time
Everything's still alright
Everything will be just fine
Tons and tons and tons of time
Keeps me awake at night
Keeps me awake at night
Everything will be just fine
Tons and tons and tons of time
Tons of time
So long, I'll be fine
So long, 40 days down
11. 40 Days Down
I can see tomorrow, but I can't find today
Ask another loaded question
This livin's gonna bring you down
Somehow I forgot to mention
There's someone else hangin around
I'm still waiting for the mailman
Gonna bring me what I need to live
But I learned another lesson
All we are is what we give
So long, I'll be fine
Another crash into the ceiling
Counted holes in it before
It's all flesh and flowers
I think I need a little more
12. Game Is Played
So, tell me what it's like to be a mad man
So, tell me about the things of the insane
Is it all that different from what I'm feeling
I haven't felt this way since yesterday
I feel sorry for you, you're goin' down
I feel sorry for you, take him away
In a straight jacket
I guess you don't know how the game is played
Tell me why you started on the needle
You told me you could never get too high
So, I'll just take another shot of whiskey
It's so easy to feel good when you die.
You won't disguise it in the sun
You can't hide it if you run
A mad man with a gun
A junkie having fun
Better be careful what you pick up, baby
It might just weigh a ton.
When you're tired of sleeping on the floor
It won't be me around to pick you up no more.
A mad man having fun
A junkie with a gun
Better be careful what you pick up baby
It just might weigh a ton.
