Voodoo
The witches cast a spell
With words that were not meant for men to hear
but still she cried out loud
We weren't cursed
We were just never in love
And maybe she's right
Can words beat down a mountain on their own?
Can my words be strong tonight?
'Cause all I wanna say is simple enough
I never want you back though I'm dying alone
You can call me all you want
I won't pick up the phone
You can blame yourself for this hell your living in
She moves with the river's steady pace
But always with a disapproving look frozen on her face
Destruction comes over the cities of men
And still they sing her tune
With words that were not meant for men to hear
But they'll all regret it soon
'Cause all I wanna say is simple enough
I never want you back though I'm dying alone
You can call me all you want
I won't pick up the phone
You can blame yourself for this hell your living in
Faith loves us
By faith we stand
By faith we stand alone

Breathe Us a New Life
04:36

A salty pill and a warm incision mask the fact that we carry all the weight
And we've come to realize we're so unprepared for the burdens of an everyday man
When the shadows turn light and we awake from this nightmare a bullet hole is seen in a whole new light
We will wait for the sunlight to peek in the window and somehow, someway, breathe us brand new life
And I'll give you anything if you gave me life
Of course it means everything but I'll sacrifice
I'll give you anything
This is the end of the road
And it's not fair
This is the way things go when you're so blown you don't care
What makes us want to be out of focus?
Why do we feel the need to see through glossy eyes?
We tend to think our life's just one big distraction but I'd rather not show up in disguise
This is the moment we've been waiting for and we won't take this medal of honor
You can bury deep inside
You'd have to reach right down in our chests
Right through our deep sweater vests
and pull out nothing but lies
And I'll give you anything but you give me life
Of course it means everything but I'll sacrifice
I'll give you anything

Riff Raff

Her finger does the tango with a lock of your hair
And you fall asleep knowing in the morning she'll be there
She'll be there
A cotton love soft as angel's feet
And the smell of coffee brewing in the kitchen
You don't know what you're missing
She stays awake (...)
And you dream you are in heaven as she slowly strokes the bottoms of your feet
She traces lines on your face a hundred million times
Even though every cell that makes you up she has completely memorized
And the room's colored red from the numbers on your cheap-ass alarm clock radio
And your fan blades are humming low
You're so goddamn oblivious to everyone around you that you sleep right through this moment
I know she hopes you never wake up again
She proved again why shes alone
With those three words she guaranteed a quote on her headstone
So if you would please get in line
You're time is now
Commit a sin and see just what you get yourself into
She's well-versed in etiquette
A killer queen
She'll charm you with her lies, stab you, and then she'll flee the scene
She'll twist a knife (...)
You won't give a shit 'cause your in love
Quit burning bridges of sorrow
I'm betting tomorrow's gone
Tomorrow's gone

This Experience
03:28

This room is so cold and you're ceiling fan's at full blast and I am alone
Watching the sunlight dance through stain glass
If I were a ghost I'd haunt this cozy house forever but I have to go and I know now that I'm never coming back
This is something that I never really wanted to experience
This experience is dying me a shade of gray and I'm becoming delirious
It happened so slow that we couldn't even tell the difference
I wrote you a note and even though it's none of my business you've grown too full of yourself and I wish the best for you
But you should see all the shit you do
What kind of person turns their back on their own best friend?
Shoulda learned your lesson
Now you're eating your words again
This is something that I never really wanted to experience
This experience is dying me a shade of gray and I'm becoming delirious
So there you stand wondering if I am yours
Wondering if you are mine
Everything is running through your head
So different
I am not the one you should ask
You should ask yourself
Where are you now?
This is something that I never really wanted to experience
This experience is dying me a shade of gray and I'm becoming delirious

Where I Am

Stuck with the blood of the righteous inside your veins
A standard to uphold
Life's not a toy, it's a test is what they try to say
You pray that they're all wrong
We crash and burn as life returns to mangled winter scenes
Destroy what's in your head
You know you're dreams aren't giving you up no matter how close they may seem
But you won't find any answers where I am
Dust me off
Reach out your hand and pull me to my feet
It's all that I need
And don't tell me it's destiny when I know that it's fate
Don't tell me it's something that I cannot appreciate
It's all been done before
So it's back to the basics and back to the smiles so wide
Back to the judging and the shunning
Back to the open arms of candlelight
A prayer, a hymn, a sermon, a tiny white light
A cardboard sign, a marker, "Prepare to Die"
And if you're God's packed tight in a pipe you better listen up
You'll have a hard to getting it off your back
Sound familiar? Understand?
Destroy what's in your head
You know you're dreams aren't giving you up no matter how close they may seem
But you won't find any answers where I am
Dust me off
Reach out your hand and prepare to rewind and examine the time
It's spoken for you, just try to realize
This is not your destiny, this is not your fate
Don't tell me it's something that I'll never appreciate
It's all been done before
And I find my withering mind
dissolves my backbone, removes my spine
I been alone but no so deserted
I screamed for you, I know you heard it
I never thought that I'd be cheating on you with your voicemail
How sad, you're riding on his coattails
This play would never make Broadway
The script's so lame and the leading man's homely
So cut the shit girl, it's all your fault
No more excuses, they're no good here
I hate them all, I hate them all
No more excuses
I hate them all
But you won't find any answers where I am
Dust me off
Reach out your hand and pull me to my feet
It's all that I need
And don't tell me it's destiny when I know that it's fate
Don't tell me it's something that I cannot appreciate
It's all been done before

War Paint

If I squeeze your eyes will the charcoal turn to diamond?
Or will the salt from my skin become so form of poison?
I'd hate to choke you up so chase it with a teardrop
A perfect sphere, motionless, snaking down your throat
If I cried a drop of blood does it mean I'll die of heartache?
Is it a sign to just move on - that the heartache is what's dead?
If I cried a drop of blood will these tracks become my war paint?
And I'll wear it for eternity so all will know I've bled
Last night was a massacre
A train wreck completely cause by her
But somehow and someway it's all my fault
In case you didn't know my heart's not wrapped in chain mail
And if you've got a soul you'll go and fuckin' get help as fast as those high heel shoes can carry you
I should bury you
If I squeeze you eyes do you think it would make a difference
Or would we lie to each other like we think we always do
This town's gonna be so different
I'll tell you now
We've got nothing to hide from each other but ourselves, you know? you know...
If I cried a drop of blood does it mean I'll die of heartache?
Is it a sign to just move on - that the heartache is what's dead?
If I cried a drop of blood will these tracks become my war paint?
And I'll wear it for eternity so all will know I've bled
Last night was a massacre
A train wreck completely cause by her
But somehow and someway it's all my fault
In case you didn't know my heart's not wrapped in chain mail
And if you've got a soul you'll go and fuckin' get help as fast as those high heel shoes can carry you
I should bury you
Without foundation this building will fall to the ground
I just didn't want it enough
Without foundation this building will fall and we'll find another way, another way that we both come from
Last night was a massacre
A train wreck completely cause by her
But somehow and someway it's all my fault
In case you didn't know my heart's not wrapped in chain mail
And if you've got a soul you'll go and fuckin' get help as fast as those high heel shoes can carry you
I should bury you

Go on and get the shovel, baby
We can dig out my heart again
You buried it five feet underground
This world's not big enough for the two of us
I think we're so better off alone
I wish I had a nickel for every time I underestimated the way I feel about you
I'd love to run away, girl, but I don't know
What about the fact that we don't get along
And oh, the scattered clothes
Make a maze and find you're way out
Through a haze of smoke
You're days that broke the silence
So consider this my first attempt at suicide
Picture me dying on your bedroom floor
Saying all the things that I never thought I'd say before
I just connect like a circuit but you flipped like I switch
But I try to tap into what makes you you
This world's not big enough for the two of us
I think we're so better off alone
You're smile makes it so hard to look you in the eye and just say "well fuck it all, you come to me when you can commit"
I'd love to kill this feeling with alcohol
But that's just another dead road
And oh, the scattered clothes
Make a maze and find you're way out
Through a haze of smoke
You're days that broke the silence
So consider this my first attempt at suicide
Picture me dying on your bedroom floor
Saying all the things that I never thought I'd say before
Tell me how you want it and I'll give it right now
Uh oh, I've got this way to break it to you
Maybe I'm a liar but at least that's what you want me to say
And I will take your breath away
And oh, the scattered clothes
Make a maze and find you're way out
Through a haze of smoke
You're days that broke the silence
So consider this my first attempt at suicide
Picture me dying on your bedroom floor
Saying all the things that I never thought I'd say before
This world's not big enough for the two of us
