Devil Smiling

The devil's smilin' over there
Never thought that she could be one
If I ever could become terrorized and paralyzed and wrong
Don't you dare think about nothing
and I won't hold out
She came and tells me all about her favourite story, said maybe we could
make it ours
But oh she never thought we could be more than what we ever thought when
we were naked on the floor
Don't you dare think about nothing
I won't hold out
I've been there swearing by nothing
Your using me you lie to me
Your laughing all along
Won't you tell me I'm wrong
You got me thinking
Won't you tell me I'm wrong
Don't you dare think about nothing and I won't go

X-Ray Visions

You came to me as a flesh ghost
You breathed your message on a cold glass window
You had my soul from the first glance
Now my body's a playground for you and them hellhounds
The crystal clear turns to bullshit
It was feelin right but now it's hanging loosely
Swallowed whole like I'm spineless
It takes a lot to satisfy them hungry eyes
I don't feel right when you strip my soul
But I just can't fight it baby, hell no
Now a little while later
You've got me tied up and tortured but screaming for more
Well I've never been so
Possessed by a lady like you father help me
My chest on fire
And I can't escape you no
My bottled blood sits on the table
I'm sick anemic from my humble sacrifice
Your kind of killer likes to savor
The fleeting sanity protruding from eyes
It don't feel right when you bleed me dry
But I just can't help it it gets me high
Now a little while later
You got me tied up and tortured
Well I've never been so possessed by a lady like you, father help me My
chest's on fire and I can't escape you no

Heaven Sent ( I Am Not)
03:19

Is this what you want
Is this what you've always hoped for
I can't be what I'm not
A broken frame on a perfect mantle
You wanted love and to love someone back
Starry eyes outshine the awful fact
That I'm not, no I'm not
You know I'm not Heaven sent
But Hell you're waiting there for me
You're everything that you're hoping I could be
Is this how we move
Is this the dance of our imperfections
You've got something to prove to a world based on bad connections
You would hope that hope would pay you back
A means to cope, to avoid that shitty fact
Avoid the fact that I'm not
You know I'm not Heaven sent
When the bough breaks will you love me the same
'Cause my wordplay can't get me out of this one
And when you wake, maybe then you'll realize that I'm not
Heaven sent

Burning Bright
04:08

You bury yourself
You're working on the line just doing time
Sometimes you try to say to yourself
If things could fall in line you're doing fine
Well don't we try to comfort ourselves
All waiting for a sign to ease our minds
One day you get to hating yourself for living out a lie, for wasting all
your time
I know beneath our skin lies the open hearted
I'll go where we began
Back before we started
Hey, I'll be burning bright today
I'll take the time to live and learn how to bleed
Hey, watch me smile and light the flames
It takes some fire to burn and learn how to be
You're raising yourself
Built upon the words your father spoke to keep you from the grips of all hell
And now it's forced upon the ones you know
Let's see you try to comfort yourself with the branches of your crooked
family tree - cause they'll break beneath the weight of empty words
I'll shake it off of myself
All the crooked lies dragging me through hell
Tear it off of myself
If you hear these words maybe then you'll know
Hey, I'll be burning bright today

Down And Out
03:29
|

Everyone I know, they're putting me through hell
I'm digging me a whole to sacrifice myself
I've been feeling like I don't know why I should try to understand or have
it figured out
When it rains it pours, got me thinking of you
Got me feeling right
Everywhere I go I'm feeling down and out
I'm seeing where I stand, I just forget myself
A subliminal guilt trip that you've been known to put me on
It starts to take a toll
Something is about to give out
When I face this storm I'll be thinking of you
You gotta taste the storm just to feel the light
The days that hell's got a hold on me
Them days, yeah you got me all right

Bring Me Down
04:42
|

|
The storm is perfect
You close your eyes
I know our hearts can't beat much further out of time
I know we're worth it
I wish you'd try
I hope we'll raise our debts and hang 'em out to dry
Oh yeah, you bring me down
Yeah you bring me down
Love of mine
I call the words that I wish you'd say
Tug on my heart strings
You can make me sing
Knock me down till I'm breathless and broken
Oh yeah, you bring me down
Yeah you bring me down
Drug of mine
Hold onto me

Like They Used To
04:00

Well we're older but we've lost the wisdom
Oh we're smarter but we've lost our interest
We've been colder, but hell that ain't saying much
If shit gets darker let's tie a noose and cut our losses
Is anybody gonna go on like they used to?
Well we're older but we took some wrong turns
And we're smaller than those roots we're growing on
I miss the days we'd open doors to open doors and find a place that's ours
and build it in our hearts
Is anybody gonna go on like they used to know?
Tear me down and rake me in 'cause I'm holding on for something more than
this
I can see the light
I believe in life
We built our home on hollow ground
I can see the light
I believe in life

Oh I can't carry you no longer
Pick up your feet put your back to the wind and face the daylight and all
of our sins
I know that I've carried you farther
We've fucked up harder, been paper thin
We'll hold our breath as we raise a glass to that whisky you're drowning in
Oh, I think you're drowning
We all burn out and we pray like hell
May the good lord take us from this prison cell
There's always one more bottle, and the comfort we love so well
Yeah, well I think you're drowning
I'll sing about it
Well you pissed on the floor again
Feels like you're living in foreign skin
You'd best be tossin' the bottle in
I think you're drowning

Edge Of Night
04:29
|

|
Mother don't like the looks of me, and your father swore we'd never see
the light of day
I learned to speak, but I never knew to listen
I'm a lot like you
Oh no I know we can make it through the edge of night and earn the summer
I'm a lot like you
Oh yeah I think we can make it through
The dead of night can pull you under
You don't age my heart
We can pretend that time ain't moving
Oh I've been thinkin' about the world
I can't tell you a single word about it
Oh I've been thinkin' about my life
I can't tick further into time about it
I had you thinking thoughts that don't belong to you, handed down from the
lips of better men - better than me
What I want ain't what's good for me and what I need is what I want What I
need is what I want and what I want is you and me so let go

No Heart
04:31
|

Never thought time would be standing in line
A phantom in my thoughts
But it's a new world as I'm lost in my reflection
We carry these lies like a burning disguise searing at both ends
It's a blue world when I'm thinking 'bout perfection
And there's no heart
We turn on these lights and we never can find the life we thought we'd lived
It's a cruel world when you live without intention
Buried inside this subliminal mind a coffin laced with lead
Lies a true world, it's lost in our potential
And I know what we're meant to be
I'm told what to try to be
And if we make it in our own time won't you bring me back to life
Oh it's all for show now
Bring me back to life

It wasn't how we met
It wasn't who we were
It wasn't my last mistakes
It wasn't what I stole
A tongue under distress was teased and taunted from watching you undress
The mistake was flawless
It's all in how we met
It wasn't what I wanted
Bound to regret in my throat and stomach
You can see it in my breath, it was the cold that brought it
It was the onset of all I never asked for, I never sought out
Tie me upside down until my world starts glowing red and your certain I've
been looking at you through eyes of the dead
Cause you put your faith in love, and I tried to prove you right
But honey these intentions in my head, they won't see daylight
It's not enough to say what's wrong
