AIN'T MY BITCH (5:04)
Outta my way
Outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one
Into not born
Into your step, but out of time
Headstrong
What's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You're right, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down
While you were around
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Down on the sun
Down and no fun
Down and out, where the Hell you been?
Damn it all down
Damn it unbound
Damn it all down to Hell again
Stand tall

You're right, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down
While you were around
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
Oh, out of my way
Outta my way
Outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one
Into not born
Into your step, but out of time
Headstrong
What's wrong?

You're right, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT (6:38)
Open door, so I walk inside
Closed my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where I brim
It swallows me
As it takes me in his hold
Hmm, I twist away
As I give this world an order
Open door, So I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
Hey, as it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead-end street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tilts
Yes, this is the house that Jack built, yeah
Open door, as I walk inside
Swallow me, so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tells
Yes, this is that house that Jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tells
Yes, I am, I am, I am
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
Hmm, I twist away
away
away, yeah
away
UNTIL IT SLEEPS (4:29)
Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me
Until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
now it stays
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me
Until I'm clean
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
Don't want it
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shames me
So hold me
Until it sleeps
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps
I don't want it, I don't want it
Want it, want it, want it, want it
Noooo!
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me
'til clean
I'll tear thee open, make you gone
No longer would you hurt anyone
And the hate still shames me
So hold me
Until it sleeps
KING NOTHING (5:28)
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
No, you're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
No, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never-never land
HERO OF THE DAY (4:21)
Oh, they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
All they try is break me
Still they try and break me
'Xcuse me while I tender how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made
For years can't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me
While I tender how I feel
But now the dreams, that waking scream that ever lights the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl and hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your names?
Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams, that waking scream that ever lights the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl and hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try, Mama, they try
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try, Mama, they try

WASTING MY HATE (3:57)
Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
Ain't gonna waste my hate
Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
I think I'll keep it for myself
Ain't gonna give no more
Ain't got the time to help you score
I think it's time you pleased yourself
yourself
Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
waste my hate on you
You think you're worthy now
You're thinking not to even raise the brow
And to laugh and tip that two-pronged crown
Well, I see my hands, I see my feet
I feel that blood that pumps in beat
But where the Hell's my mind going now?
get going now
Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath

for myself
Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you

MAMA SAID (5:19)
Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it before its done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard her say
A son's heart sowed to mother
But I must find my way
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Yeah, still
Rebel, my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Let this heart be still
THORN WITHIN (5:51)
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within
When I'm branded, this mark of shame
Should I look down disgraced
Or straight ahead and know that you must blame
I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
So point your fingers, point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you whatever I see in my way
I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty for us all
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you whatever I see in my way
I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
RONNIE (5:17)
Story starts, quiet town
Small time boy, big time frown
Never talks, never plays
Different path, lost his way
Then streets of red, red I'm afraid
There's no confetti, no parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But oh my god how it all did change
Now they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He said "lost my way"
This bloody day, lost my way
I heard him
He said "lost my way"
This bloody day, lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
I always said, something wrong
With little strange Ronnie Long
Never laughed, never smiled
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles
Gallows calls, son I say
Keep your smile but laugh all day
Think once again in this boring place
For little boys how they soon change
Now they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He said "lost my way"
This bloody day, lost my way
I heard him
He said "lost my way"
This bloody day, lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
Yeah, well all the green things died
When Ronnie moved to this place
He said don't you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this face
Now we all know why the children called him Ronnie Frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
They all fall down, down and down
He said "lost my way"
This bloody day, lost my way
I heard him
He screamed "lost my way"
This bloody day, lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today
All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stained the sun today
All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stained the sun today
THE OUTLAW TORN (9:48)
And now I wait my whole lifetime for you
And now I wait my whole lifetime for you
I ride the dirt I ride the tide for you
I search the outside search inside for you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime
The Outlaw Torn
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
The more I search the more my need for you
The more I blast the more I bleed for you
You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime
The Outlaw Torn
And I'm torn
Hear me, and if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me, and if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me, and when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me, and when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
Hear me, me if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me, and if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me, and when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me, and when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
