Change My Skin
Silent wind blows and
Slow rain does fall
when
Clouds fill my
thoughts
I slow down
I can change my skin
Hide the faces deep
within
Cause I don’t know
who I am
Serenade me with
Singing angels, I
Can’t live like
this
Wanna Slow down
Should I change my
skin?
Hide the doubt so
deep within?
Cause I don’t know
who I am
So would you take a
fool like me and
Hand me peace through
identity replacing
This life I’m
wasting when you’ve been waiting
You can change my
skin
Sparking beauty deep
within
Cause you know who I
am
Back

Comfort
Ever since the day I
met you
I have been looking
for something I could hold
At the end of every
dead end highway
I found you standing
right where you were all along
I am so lucky
I would be empty
without your love
I would have nothing
without your touch
I spent all day
thinking of you
Recounting every
single moment I have had
Knowing I can truly
trust you
Sends and endless
wave of comfort through my head
I am so lucky
I would be empty
without your love
I
would have nothing without your trust

Counterfeit
Back |
Down
to Me
Should I lie face
down in the mud
And Cry because I
tripped myself
Should I bring
everyone down with me
Just cause I want to
soak up sympathy
Am I so blind that I
can only see myself
Or am I scared of
what I might find out there
Now should I sulk,
Should I mourn
Or should I try to
become something I haven’t before
Will you come down to
me
Cause I can’t build
up to you
And I’m sick of
trying
Will you scrape this
cesspool clean
Cause I can’t see
what I’m doing
And I don’t want to
drown in here
Should I refrain, or
embrace
This libido that I
know will only rip me away
From who I love and
what I need
All these people who
have meant so much to me
And it all blends,
right and wrong
Into a grey that
penetrates into the depths of my soul
So I can’t know and
I can’t see
Inside these caverns
of confusion I stumble blindly and bleed
Will you come down to
me
Cause I can’t build
up to you
And I’m sick of
trying
Will you scrape this
cesspool clean
Cause I can’t see
what I’m doing
And I don’t want to
drown in here
Back |
Heaven
or Hell
I heard the footsteps
walking up the stairs and down the hall
I heard them walking
out the door
I saw an angel cry
about what she lost and what had happened
And how she fell
I’m sorry for who I
am
I’m not the best
thing to cross your path
It’s not like I
don’t care
But there’s not
much left to care about
I watched a numb man
walk into a store and sell his soul to them
I watched him throw
his life away
I saw a devil cry
about his fate and vile position
I watched him writhe
I’m sorry for who I
am
I’m not the best
thing to cross your path
It’s not like I
don’t care
But there’s not
much left to care about
Back |
In
My Room
I’m alone again
Just like I’m
supposed to be
No running away
I’m not scared
today
I’m just sad
because I know
That I live in a cage
So don’t you talk
to me
Cause I’ve lost
everything I loved
Or could have had
Look into my eyes
Can you see the flood
of tears
I have not cried
So, so long and if
you want to know
I’ll be waiting
here by the telephone
Waiting for God to
call me home
I’m alone again
Back |
Infidels
Rejoice you nation of
infidels
Rejoice you nation of
infidels
We looked on as
millions died
On satellite TV in
our comfort ride
When we said we cared
And we said we tried
I wish that we all
knew we lied
Call me extreme
Call me confused
But I include myself
in here with you
You can say I’m
obscene
You can say my
screw’s loose
But I include myself
in here with you
Rejoice you nation of
infidels
Your conscience
shrinks as your head swells
We killed our
children
Then we killed the
people
Who killed those
babies
We hid behind a
steeple
We hate each other
Black, brown, red,
yellow, white
Sometimes we want
everyone else to die
We heard the blood
screaming from the ground
And somehow mistook
it for the sound
Of our fathers
praising this great country
Built on liberty,
happiness and slavery
Rejoice you nation of
infidels
Your conscience
shrinks as your head swells
Call me extreme
Call me confused
But I include myself
in here with you
You can say I’m
obscene
You can say my
screw’s loose
But I include myself
in here with you
Rejoice you nation of
infidels
Your
conscience shrinks as your head swells

Iscariot
There’s something
wrong with me now
The same old shit
again
It’s selfish how I
do this
Betraying all my
friends
The darkness feels so
strong now
It’s holding me
tonight
I know that I’m an
asshole
And I didn’t do
what’s right
I fell through
There’s something
twisted about this
A train run off the
tracks
My friends all give
their love to me
Then I stab them in
their backs
Is my apology
something?
Or is my life what
you see now?
For what it’s
worth, I’m sorry
Wish to redeem myself
somehow
I fell through
I failed you
I am Iscariot
And I love you
But I hurt you
I love you
But I hurt you
Back |
Jungle
I hear a lot of
things around here changed and
I hear the things
that I did were in vein
It all became a game
Old friends have all
become so different
Things got twisted
and manipulated
Here we go again
I cry
It’s like I never
tried
I’m watching my
friends
They’re dropping
like flies
One by one, two by
two
Three by three they
go into
The jungle
I hear my old friend
just got sent to jail
I hear he’s not
doing so well
The drugs got him
again
I know there was
nothing I could do about it
Somehow I still feel
responsible but
There was nothing I
could do
I cry
It’s like I never
tried
I’m watching my
friends
They’re dropping
like flies
One by one, two by
two
Three by three they
go into
The jungle
Back |
Kissing
Christ
I just lost a part of
me I loved
I’ve become an
enemy to trust
You just lost a part
of me you loved
I just sold your life
away to dust
How far would you go
to be known?
I just paid the
sinners debt, I was sold
I just kissed the
lips of death, they were cold
I just tied this rope
and I’m just hanging here
Once you lock the
door it’s over
(Don’t lock the
door) it’s over
How far would you go
to be known?
I’m just hanging
here
Back |
Nine
Eleven
I’ve been crying
all day long
For all of the people
I saw
Jumping, falling down
I cry for you
Hear me brothers
Can you see what’s
going on?
Love your women
Love your children
Love your nation
Love your God
I’ve got something
to say to all
Of those who think
their strongest buildings can’t fall
Behold the Roman
Empire
Has gone
Watch it rise up
watch it fall down
Tides have turned and
cities drowned
Hear me brothers
Don’t you see
what’s going on?
Love the women
Love the children
From all nations
Love like God
Back |
Note
to Self
The lines you drew
are all crossed
The love you had is
now lost
You might as well
just live it up
This sea of fear
surrounds you
Your boat is a
stranded refuge
Your oar is gone and
you are lost
But you’re happy
aren’t you?
You’re gonna live
this life alone
Your morals, killed
by actions
Your wisdom, spoiled
and lacking
You might as well
just give this up
This silent face just
haunts you
The open arms you
once knew
The love that ran so
deep and wide
But you’re happy
aren’t you?
Why do you do this on
your own?
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
Back |
Seventeen
Come to me
Sweet princess
You’ve kissed my
lips
And breathed my
breath
Let’s go to a place
Where there’s
nothing to run away from
Except ourselves
It’s always been
The simple things
That have meant the
most to me
Sharing a sweater in
the rain
Or the way your eyes
flash when you smile
The way that you
laugh when you’re tired
The things that you
say when you’ve left reality behind
We can complete our
own fairy tale
So much in love with
so much left to do
Let’s do the best
we can
Come to me
Sweet princess
Kiss my lips
And breathe my breath
Let’s go to a place
Where there’s
nothing to run away from
Except ourselves

Siamese
Sin
My head is splitting
at the seams
Sometimes you stalk
me in my dreams
So hard to lose love
for truth
So hard to lose love
Sometimes you call me
from far away
Across land and
water, I can’t see your face
So hard to lose love
for truth
So hard to lose love
with you
Time has left me more
lonely
Sometimes you come
when I’m confused
Sometimes you come
dressed to seduce
So hard to lose love
for truth
So hard lose love
with you
We never meant to be
so cruel
I’m through
Our love became
vanity
Siamese insanity
Connected, abused
So I must perform
surgery
Full fucking lobotomy
So I can lose you
We never meant to be
so cruel
Back |
Simplicity
This is not the same
I will explain
I have to say
What I’m feeling
I will be your fool,
your angel
I will stay with you
through trouble
I will wait for you
as long as I need to
I will be your simple
dream
You’ve changed the
world for me
You’ve given me
such peace
Through this
simplicity
I’ve been waiting
so long
To arrive in your
arms
And to kiss your lips
It’s you I’ve
missed
I saw you standing
there
With perfect purple
hair
And I wanted you
I will be your fool,
your angel
I will stay with you
through trouble
I will wait for you
as long as I need to
I will be your simple
dream
You’ve changed the
world for me
You’ve given me
such peace
Through this
simplicity
Back |
Sinking
Ships
Still don’t know
what you see in me
Your holy, humble
servant in chains
At least now I seem
to be free
But my cold heart
remains the same
I love to harbor evil
thoughts
And tie them all down
at the pier
Where I work so very
hard
To build them bigger
and bigger
I’m scared because
You can see right
through me
And I am hardly real
All I want is control
Just shove me away
I’ve got the
plastic disease
So melt off my face
I only want to serve
me
So make me your slave
Go knock my favorite
ships around
Like “Heart’s
Desire” and “Jealousy”
I want all the
captains there to drown
So I don’t have to
hear from them
I’m scared because
You can see right
through me
And I am hardly real
All I want is control
Just shove me away
I’ve got the
plastic disease
So melt off my face
I only want to serve
me
So make me your slave
Back |
Spitting
in the Face of God
I will speak to you
of loneliness
Even though I’m
with somebody else
And I will speak to
you of emptiness
When all I really
love is myself
How many lessons must
I learn like this?
My failure has really
took its toll
And how many bridges
must I burn to find
A situation that I
can control
The air is turning
black
This curtain is torn
in half
I will speak to you
of charity
Even though I’m
sure that I have none
And I will speak to
you of inheritance
Although I’m sure
that mine has been forgotten
How many demons must
I sacrifice
In order to work my
way to you
Cause grace died in
here a long time ago
And the apostles and
the prophets are but few
The sky is turning
black
This savior is torn
in half
Your scars are on his
back
But you don’t care
about that
Why don’t you spit
in his face some more
You like that
Common spit in his
face some more
I will speak to you
of arrogance
Cause I can see it in
your eyes
And I will speak to
you of piety
For it will be your
demise
Back |
Sunrise
Sunrise, feeling slow
Sunrise, feeling cold
Your eyes, gone
I had to go
I had to go home
I had to go
There’s a part of
you in me
That’s burning up
my mind
It’s keeping me
alive
And you will always
be
A comfort in these
times
The patience in my
life
Sunrise, feeling
rushed
In your eyes, seeing
trust
You’re saying
“Come to me baby”
While I breathe with
you baby
While I breathe with
you baby
“Come to me now
Just come in my arms
No fears and no
alarms
Come with me baby
Come with this peace
Into our eternity
Come with me”
Sunrise, feeling real
Sunrise, feeling
healed
Come with me
Back |
Technicolor
Welcome to this brave
new Technicolor world
Where everything looks
brighter than it’s worth
Isn’t it exciting,
with different kinds of lighting
We don’t have to
look so dull and uninviting
Cause who’s idea was
it that we should all be honest anyway?
And deep inside our
bitter hearts just burn
For something that we
don’t deserve
And the longer we let
it go
It grows more and more
out of control
It’s like TV
Someone please hear me
There’s not much
worth seeing
In this Technicolor
world
Welcome to this new
shining jealous parade
The drivers are all
drunk and the celebrities fell asleep
Isn’t it exciting,
all the babies crying
And all the daddies
fighting with mamas who are lying
Cause who’s idea was
it that we should all be honest anyway?
And deep inside their
bitter hearts just burn
For something that
they don’t deserve
And the longer they
let it go
It grows more and more
out of control
It’s like TV
Someone please hear me
There’s not much
worth seeing
In this Technicolor
world
Back |
Tortoise
I sit down to write
the song of my life
But the words are all
blending together
The lyric’s the
same, of mind-numbing pain
Still nothing seems
to get better
I’m violent, I’m
mean, I’m not what I seem
To everyone around me
I’m a liar, I’m a
thief, I’m beyond belief
Still nobody seems to
expose me
Expose me
I’m a tortoise,
I’m old, I’m tired and I’m sore
I’m still just as
slow and lazy
I’ve wrote this
before but I still ignore
That every line is
about me
Every line’s about
me
Every line’s about
me
Every line’s about
me
Back |
Tunnel
It takes me a while
To pull out of this
shell
Look back at what
I’ve been
Separate the good
from sin
It takes me more than
time
To kill what needs to
die
Stop living in this
lie
And do what I know is
right
I either hate or
embrace
I have no lines or
sense of taste
It’s my foundation
not my face
That needs to change
Cause I’m not going
to stay
I seldom ever see
Anyone but me
This tunnel vision
leads
Far from what I need
I either hate or
embrace
I have no lines or
sense of taste
It’s my foundation
not my face
That needs to change
Cause I’m not going
to stay
It’s impossible to
believe
That’s what my
feelings say
But they have lied to
me
Jesus gonna break my
chains
I either hate or
embrace
I have no lines or
sense of taste
It’s my foundation
not my face
That needs to change
Cause I’m not going
to stay
Back |
Urge
to be Angry
Oh how I’m screaming
now
Sweat on my brow
My skin is shaking
Somehow your voice is
loud
But your face is
shrouded
And I hate you
How can I love my one
true God
When I can’t even
hold my tongue
Urge to be angry
I deny the good inside
me
Urge to be angry grows
I know
This is not worth it
I’m so out of
control
I need your healing
and forgiveness
Teach me to love
You my God
Teach me to hold my
tongue
Urge to be angry
I deny the good inside
me
Urge to be angry grows
I know
This is not worth it
Back |
Visions
You are the pin
That falls in this
silence
You prick my skin
So I can feel it
I smash my head
Into your words
They penetrate
Through this membrane
I can’t eat
Or breathe easy
I can’t sleep
Find comfort in
nothing
These visions I see
Are what eat at me
It’s you stripped
from everything
And I’m left
screaming
I can’t see your
face
Or feel you breathe
I have no peace
But I still believe
I still believe
It’s not what It
seems
I still believe

When
he Called Your Name
October tells the
tale
Of broken hearts, of
broken faith
A sorry tale
That reminds us we
all fail
November nails
All our feelings to
the floor
That we unveiled
When we set our
tongues on fire
You hid behind
Your false naivety
alone
You didn’t know
Who or what was going
on
You held my heart
In your drunken hands
And you gave it to
him
Couldn’t even tell
the difference
When he called your
name
He was far from
innocent
And when you gave in
He was taking
advantage
We do not do
All the things we
want to do
But we do
Things that we
don’t want to do
And when we do
Well, we don’t know
what to do
I can’t blame you
I’m in the same
boat too
But when he called
your name
He was far from
innocent
And when you gave in
He was taking
advantage
The tears in my eyes
Say that I still love
you
And the feeling in my
heart
Says that I still
love you
With every triggered
thought of him
Is the temptation to
relive
With every prayer
spilled from my lips
I find the power to
forgive
Back |
Wish
For Never
Come to me
Sweet princess
You’ve kissed my
lips
And breathed my
breath
Always been the
simple things
That have meant the
most to me
We can complete our
own fairy tale
So much in love with
so much left to lose
Summer, where are
you?
Sunshine, canoes
I read a book to you
Then we rode for a
long time
Through fields and
cemetery lawns
The old church was
our playground
I wish you were the
only one
I wish that we had
got along
I wish that there had
been no other
Precious was my love
for you
Dead rose, swinging
to and fro
Oak tree, we kissed
on roots that ran so deep
I wrote a song for
you
Would you tell me
what that means now?
I’m sure that I
deserve this
I’m willing to
accept my fate
I wish you were the
only one
I wish that we had
got along
I wish that there had
been no other
Precious was my love
for you
Come to me
Sweet princess
Kiss my lips
Suck my breath
Hated this
Hated this
Hated this
I wish we’d never
been as one
I wish I didn’t
write this song
I wish that you and I
were never
Twisted was our love
and cruel
Our love was so cruel
True love is not
cruel
True love is not
cruel
