Spun herself round on a cotton reel
I turn away and my blood turns to samiel
She hides herself in a holy box
So that we can all break on the rocks
Pound our fists at the wall
We may die for no cause at all
We may worship a broken man
An afterthoughts slaughter
For a sacrificial lamb
Love feeds us
Love bleeds us
It falls from out of hands
Love scars us
The bold and the damned
Devils all waiting to ascend
It's a tasteless motive
We're the means to the end
Wearing our hearts like feathers in caps
They're getting busy while we collapse
He's a man in the moment
She's a one of a kind
Life leads to the next, mortal coils unwind
There's nothing i
Caught lightning in a bottle
Held thunder in my hands
Crankin' on the throttle
One more drink an' I'll try again
Nothing can make me feel this way
Except when I draw near to you
No one else makes me say
These things but for you
I can feel it rising
It's all kinds of dangerous
I wish I knew what it was
Wild love
Fists all took my sanity
Now you want my pride
But I look right through you
See you at the divide
With thousand watt eyes
I'm burnin' in the wire
I'm freezin' on the light
Wild love
It don't
I just can
Wild love
A sleeping maiden
Waiting between slow pulses
Measuring earth's age
Until her time to rise comes
Rising, bursting tearing forth
Rushing towards me
Streaked with bloody crimson dirt
Eyes wild, gleaming mad
Bowling me over and down
Straddling, pinning, holding me
Her breath burning in my veins
Life is ours
I fell down
I lost my way
Here looking for the signs
Every single day
Looked around, no turning back
I'm not ashamed
I'm not heading home
I can't shut my mouth
Won't leave it all alone
I can feel time burning, a pulse won't let me sleep
The storm is coming out
I won't finish yet
Got this last song to sing
The words won't make me right
But they'll maybe keep me sane
I'm running out of thoughts
Without a push from behind
I can't ask anything of you
But I'll say thanks for the life line
It all ends out on the highway
That's how it ends around here
One last thing to say
Then I'll shut my damned mouth
I might have left a few pieces out
You wan
Heads up here, these words are shallow, they lie
Heads up my dear, heart's fields lie fallow, the gentle die
It's time to put in the boots tonight
Nothing to fear, we're all so callow, nooses tie
Heads up my dear, we'll all walk to the gallows, motes in god's eye
We'll put in the boots tonight
Skin, bones, sunken bloody red cheeks
Carried some guilt for what I speak
Jesus says the truth will set us free
There ain't nothin' free here for me
I'm twistin', shakin', burnin' in this skin
Still grippin' to this thread
Life hasn't found a way to ditch me yet
But I can't let go, can't forget
Oh hell, hell's been talkin'
And the sun, she won't set
My ship is settin' off on the sea
But it’s sailin' out without me
I'm left here sittin' by myself on
An island raised on up to sink
And hell, hell's been talkin'
To me
I can't change who I am
And we're all here alone
But hell's been talkin'
I’ve done come runnin' out
Of a hole all a
A head hanging down so low
Till my thoughts scrape the ground
I gave away all control
I began to crumble down
The pictures leave no more words
The rational flames burn through my head
Left here too laugh out loud
‘Cause the silence is leaving me dead
Too afraid to ever speak
And far too frozen to smile
I crave a spirits attention
So you can cut me all the while
You may be a weaker one
Because I stand in the pain
But I’ve learned my place
To keep you always safe, not sane
Going through, can’t believe every word I've said
Every subject’s spinning round till it’s left for dead
Nothing left here, nothing from my side
Just you and me
You’ll bail out
Right when I begin
To fight
My better times all pass by in my mind
A meaningless way to pass the time
All this focus spent just centered on me
A selfish man, I know I'm nothing to me
Used to think I had something to say
Moving through my head
Bound to this broken corpse
Living, breathing, with the dead
Little lies flitting all around
Just a show to feel so down
I’m struggling, to be right side out
Hit the wall, to spiral
We’re all mad here, mad not angry
It’s all burning on its way, way down
We see a world built on gangrene
It’s too late, we’re all gonna drown
Venom’s burning in your veins
Showing visions I can’t explain
Venom’s burning in our veins
It’s the truth we can’t contain
Truth it finds its way, least that’s what they say
‘Cause it doesn’t mind, mind our little pains
Truth it finds its way, least that’s what they say
Now that its venom is burning in our veins
Now I see you strip down, mad and hungry
Have I ever seen you drown?
We’re all mad here, mad not angry
It
We kept the other out here in the air
We didn’t ever see how we were falling down
She doesn’t believe I really care
And she’ll be running soon as her feet touch ground
The angels lead me on
Away from loving arms
I never knew what we were all about
I turned and found out I had been left behind
Empty within and without
I keep crying and shout, held back by ties that blind
The angels lead me on
Away from loving arms
My home is built on shifting sands
Al I understand, is where I fell and went wrong
Left with empty hands
And my long fall coming, to plunge down to fall headlong
The angels lead me on
Away from loving arms
