Once lyrics

I admit it...what's to say
I'll relive it...without pain
backstreet lover on the side
of the road
I got a bomb in my tmeple
that is gonna explode
I got a .16 gauge buried
under my clothes...I play.
once upon a time I could control myself
once upon a time I could lose myself
oh try and mimic..what's insane
I am in it...where do I stand
indian summer I hate the heat

Even Flow lyrics

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days
Oh, head down, faces that he sees don't look it ain't that
familiar
Oh, girlfriend he can't have when he's happy looks insane, oh
yeah

Even flow
thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know
so he chases them away
someday yet he'll begin his life again
Life againn

Alive lyrics

son, she said
have I got a little story for you
what you thought was your daddy
was nothin' but a....

while you were sittin'
home alone @ age thirteen
your real daddy was dyin'
sorry you didn't see him

but I'm glad we talked...

I...I...I'm still alive [3x]

oh she walks slowly
across a young man's room
she said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything
to this very day

Why Go lyrics

she scratches a letter
into a wall made of stone
maybe someday
another child
won't feel as alone as she does

it's been two years
and counting
since they put her in this place
she's been diagnosed
by some stupid fuck
and mommy agrees
why go home
why go home
why go home...

she seems to be stronger
but what they want her to be is weak
she could just pretend
she could play the game

Black lyrics

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of plain
Her legs spread out before me as her body holds still
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the
sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Oooo, and all I taught her was everything
Oooo, I know she gave me yarn() that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds of what was
everything

Jeremy lyrics

at home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemin yellow sun
arms raised in a V
dead lay in pools of maroon below

daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
king jeremy the wicked
ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

clearly I remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth

Oceans lyrics

hold on to the thread
the currents will shift
guide me towards you
know something's left
and we're all allowed to dream
of the next time we touch..........

you don't have to stray
two oceans away
waves roll in my thoughts
hold tight the ring...
the sea will rise...
please stand by the shore...
I will be...
I will be...
there once more.........

Porch lyrics

what the fuck is this world
running to

you didn't leave a message
at least I could have
heard your voice one last time.

daily minefield
this could be my time
how 'bout you
would you hit me
would you hit me

all the bills go by
and initiatives are taken up
by the middle
there ain't gonna be any middle any more

and the cross I'm bearing home
ain't indicative of my place
left the porch

Garden lyrics

the direction of the eye
so misleading
the defection of the soul
nauseously quick

I don't question
our existence
I just question
our modern needs

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

after all is done
we're still alone
I won't be taken
yet I'll go...

I will walk...with my hands bound

Deep lyrics

on the edge
windowsill
ponders his maker
ponders his will
to the street below
he just ain't nothin'
but he's got a great view...

on the edge
know-nothin' town
feelin' quite superior
the aged come
to the sky above
he just ain't nothin'
but he's got a great view...

on the edge of a
christmas clean love
young virgin from heaven
visiting...
to the man above her
she just ain't nothin'...

Release lyrics

I see the world
feel the truth
which way to go
windowsill
I see the words
on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain

oh dear diane
can you see me now
I am myself
like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
release me

oh dear diane
can you see me now
I am myself
like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
for you to speak to me
I'll open up
release me

Crazy Mary lyrics

She lived on the curve of the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary

Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
That old blue car we used to race

Footsteps lyrics

Don't even think about reaching me. I won't be home.
Don't even think about stopping by. Don't think of me at all.

I did a what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you.

Aaah, don't even think about getting inside. Voices in my head. Ooh, voices.
I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart.

I did, oh, what I had to do. If there was a reason it was you.

Yellow Ledbetter lyrics

Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again."
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand. And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah.
And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out again.
And the reason oughta' leave her calm, I know.
I said "I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag."

Fuck Me In The Brain lyrics

Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You fuckin' little cunt
You're drivin' me insane
Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You're drivin' me, drivin' me insane

Fuck me in my life...hah...
You wanted to be my wife, huh, huh, hah...
Fuck me in my brain, fuck...
I may be a...
I don't beleive nothin',even if it's true, no

Fuck me, fuck me, in my brain
Fuck me, my ears are open, in my brain
Fuck me

You think I care

Last Kiss lyrics

Where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
Shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddys car
We hadnt driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead

I couldnt stop, so I swerved to the right
Ill never forget the sound that night

Let Me Sleep lyrics

Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time

Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins
Oh, I'm so tired, and cold
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time

Masters Of War lyrics

Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
You that build the death place, you that build all the guns
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I just want you to know, I can see through your masks

You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy
You play with my world, like its your little toy
You put a drug in my head, then you hide from my eyes

Real Thing lyrics

It's time, I came to get mine
Runnin' through the hoods with a hand on the nine
Why do the pigs come when you have some?
Cross the line so I can get the blast on
Oh shit, I'm empty, but I got a shake on the side so
Don't even tempt me
Runnin' the program, Cypress Hill on the real
With the Pearl Jam and I'm packin' the steel
Don't come my way, 'cause it only takes one minute to reach for the AK

Black, Red, Yellow lyrics

Exponentially serving. Perpetually unnerving. Vehicle swerving.
The adjectives they are all a-blurring.
Freud walking the sidelines clipboard scoring the brain.
Black magic painted traits. Makes me sain.

Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
Please don't make me explain. Don't matter anyway.

Phontom pain in my brain. It's all that's left of my leg.

Dead Man lyrics

Sailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth.
Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.

Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup up, and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. the things I've caused.

I'm a dead man walking.

The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.
Cast a shadow across, onto me.

The hallways are all mocking me.

Sonic Reducer lyrics

I don't need anyone don't need no mom and dad

Don't need no good advice don't need no human rights

I got some news for you don't even need you too

I got my time machine got my 'lectronic dream

Sonic reducer ain't no loser

Got a sonic reducer sonic reducer

People out on the streets they don't know who I am

I watch them from my room they are just passing by

State Of Love And Trust lyrics

Oh ...
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passinâ, grip the wheel, canât read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell thatâs on my hands ... hands, yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothinâ, Iâll do this one myself

Leatherman lyrics

I know about a man to whom I may be related, he's leatherman.
Died a long time ago in the 1880's...leatherman, leatherman.
Covered with leather, but it wasn't tight.
Underneath the moon in the woods at night...

Makin' the rounds ten miles a day,
Once a month they'd spot him, here's what they'd say...
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land.

U lyrics

Thought it was easy to fall in love but you, you, you.

You're different this much I know yeah, you, you, you.

It might be your guile. It could be your mind.

It might be the way you take your time.
Oh, you, you, you.

You, it's you. It's you, you, you.

Oh, you. It's you. It's you, you, you.

I never know how much to say with you, you, you.

Hard To Imagine lyrics

Paint a picture forty shades of gray.
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh [x4]

Fuck tradition. No one's safe from harm.
Wait a living. Cup and curse these arms.
After having seen all that they saw.

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh [x4]

Soldier Of Love lyrics

Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.
Use your arms for squeezing and please I'm the one that loves you so.
Oh there ain't no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so.
So forget the other boys because my love is real.
Come off your battlefield.
Lay down your arms and surrender to me.

Angel lyrics

Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured, 'cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
