Psychotic
Break
I
feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift
And hope you'll never know
Feel
like a psychotic break comin' on
Snapping two by fours
Punching holes in dry wall
Feel
like a psychotic break comin' on
Chalking up my dead friends
And loved ones long gone
I
feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift
And hope you'll never know
Feel
like a psychotic break comin' on
Snapping two by fours
Punching holes in dry wall
Feel
like a psychotic break comin' on
Thinking 'bout my dead friends
Whose voices ring on

Basement Howard Hughes
Don't
deny I did you cold
I broke your trust and lied
Controlling, selfish, gossip abound
Cocaine mouth over mind
And
I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma
wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Stubborn
bastard, hard head knocking
We had good years too
Though apart, you're still in my heart
I'd give anything for you
And
I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma
wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Often
heard, seldom seen
Bargain Basement Howard Hughes
Hermit phase, a woodshed rage
These days headlines are few
And
I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma
wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Anger
Rising
Alabama
trailer park they call home
Boy standing at attention in the corner his own
Terrified, scorpion crawling the wall
By the way father could you please beat me some more?
Anger
rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Cold
Alaska, hiding, bundled up tight
Stretch aluminum foil 'cross the window at night
Mother crying, calling out up the stairs
By the way father do you even care that I'm scared?
Anger rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Devil
rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Generation
three, solitary, alone
By the way father created hell on my own
Anger
rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Angel
Eyes
Homely,
thick in mind, never listen
Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision
Don't forget this chance only live once
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get
it all
She said I forgive you
Don't regret our time
You've got to move on love
Angel
eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Bow
down, piper leading, you were one
Hungry, took the prize, then you got dumb
Don't live out your life like a sad song
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get
it on
She said I forgive you
You must too or die
You've got to let me go
Angel
eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Angel
eyes
Your face is all I see
Agonize
Forever haunting me
Solitude
There's
no out, downside up for good
No light, reflection understood
Had to try, perversion satisfy
Insane...so I indulge the beast awhile
When
hurting yourself feels right
And there's nothing familiar in sight
Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your
life...
Or
seal your doom
Cold transparent blue
Locked inside a room
In solitude
Insanity takes you
So black it's untrue
Insanity
takes you
So black, it's untrue
Mother
Spinning In Her Grave
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
Mother
spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Mother
spinning in her grave 'cause she can't tame
You need to be the dog
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
That you that's already gone
Glass
cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Mother
spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone

Hellbound
Going down a last act scene
Curtain call begin bowing
Self-appointed abuse king
Hellbound, that's my belief
Black
eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing stream long stilled
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down
Justified,
a self-made man
All I do is what I can
Edges sharpened, blasted sand
Bizarre, devoted fan
Black
eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing theme blown will
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going to stay down
Warshington,
a fish belly rust
Sad chapter read last page first
Black
eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing dream now killed
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down
Give
It A Name
Give
it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own
Give it a name like a howling blue hound
Chasing your fears man he's hunting you down
Give
it a name, get it out of your eye
Come from the dockland got your low hangin' high
Give it a name, though you call yourself saved
She's deep on your bone and it won't go away
Slowly
all the roles we act out become our identity
And in the end we are what we pretend to be
Give
it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own
Give it a name like a howling blue hound
Chasing your fears man he's hunting you down
Give
it a name, get it out of your eye
Come from the dockland got your low hangin' high
Give it a name, though you call yourself saved
She's deep on your bone and it won't go away
Slowly
all the roles we act out become our identity
And in the end we are what we pretend to be
Separating
self from dream, harsh reality
And though it hurts, embrace the truth and from fear be
set free
Castaway
Day
break, wind is blowing strong
No escape, caught on a reef in the storm
Castaway, licking his cracked lips sore
Patient, waits, hoping the rats reach the shore...yeah...yeah
Yesterday,
seems a lifetime now
Remembering, those he left and how
Out in space, laughing at all below
Island stage, plays to his thoughts and ego...yeah....yeah
Dusk
fall, fading sun, no fire light
Memories amplify his plight
Gathering, searching for shelter above
Feel the sting, choking on hoarded love...yeah...yeah
Thin,
cold, tired...castaway
She
Was My Girl
Copacetic,
calm my frenetic, she's the shit y'all
Highly-rated, well-educated, she's an angel
She's ambitious, beautiful, delicious, got a restaurant
I can take it, truth stripped me naked, yeah I fucked up...yeah
She
was my girl
Used to be my world
I miss my girl
What a fine girl
She

Repeated dreamer, now and then I see her and we have lunch
Ever playful, hook the jumper cable, give me fresh spark
Sister ringing, old reminder stinging, bridges burned hoss...yeah
She
was my girl
Used to be my world
I miss my girl
What a fine girl
She
called me up, I guess she pretty stuck, she needed my help
It made me happy, hence the lyric sappy, I still love her...yeah

Used to be my world
I miss my girl
What a fine girl
Such

I miss my girl
Used to be my world

Chemical
Tribe
Should
I live so long
To see 'em dropping bombs
Hope I have you near
Check out what comes after here...what comes after here
Generation
turned a chemical tribe
Don't really care if we live or die
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Been sold out and it's no surprise
Let
the black odds roll
Why we can't tell
Ball inside
Roll me over, is this hell...is this hell?
Generation
turned a chemical tribe
Don't really care if we live or die
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Been sold out and it's no surprise
No

Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Leaning more toward Cain than Abel
No

Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Possibly more truth than fable
Generation

Descending in a shadow, cocoon me then bite
Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain
Spun

Take me to the caine field

My
old man wonders where I'm at
I'm still a child, guess I keep trying to pay him back
Arrogance

Steady she drain, spider digest you
Slow

Descending in a shadow, cocoon me then bite
Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain
Locked
On
Everything
you heard I did and maybe then some ok
Does it make you happy and now is it out of the way?
Everything you heard I done and probably then some ok
Does it really matter of course I took it all the way
What
more can I say
Locked
on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Every
word is true, baby I won't deny
Don't you push me over, I ain't even finished my ride
Every word you read is true and maybe that is a lie
Strap session closing and I'm a going out of my mind
What
more can I say
Locked
on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Locked
on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Every
song I wrote I meant what I said at the time
Yeah I spent some time looking death right in the eye
Every song I wrote I captured a fragment of time
Dying a little bit makes you appreciate life
Nothing
more to say
Locked
on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Locked

Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Locked

Locked on
Gone
All
dreams have died along the way
I coughed up the price, I bought a cage
I've had a hell of a time since I went away
Don't know when I died, or where to lay down
Gone,
gone away
Yeah, gone, gone away
God
knows I've tried, I'm dyed in pain
Strong yet simple drive, the freedom to say
I've had a hell of a time since I went away
Homing on traces of light, that distance fades
Yeah
I'm gone, gone away
Yeah I'm gone, gone away
So
they say with time, we slowly heal
I caught a flash of your smile, through the fog of a dream
I'll have a hell of a time, I clearly see
I can't be by your side, I'll see you when I sleep
Now
you're gone...gone away
Yeah you're gone...gone away
