THE HOUSE JACK BUILT

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

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

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

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

'Scuse 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

THORN WITHIN

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 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 Gallow 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

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
