from the album "Godsmack"
MOON BABY
Let's take a blast to the moon, baby.I'll sit around wishing you well.
How I'm craving you.
Every time I'm near you I always want to swallow you down.
I'll be right here if you need me.
In my life I'll need you here, don't ask why I'll never disappear.
Why is it every day that I feel the pain?
Let's take a trip to the stars, far away.
Where were you when I was down, staring into the dead?
My pain is caused by my pleasure and my soulmate lives in your body.
I can't get you out of my head. It never goes away.
In my life I'll need you here, don't ask why I'll never disappear.
In your eyes you can bid me farewell.
Don't ever try to understand the situation.
Why is it every day that I feel the pain?
It always comes when I least expect it.
When I'm looking for love, always seem to be regretting it.
WHATEVER
And I wonder day to day. I don't like you anyway.I don't need your shit today. You're pathetic in your own way.
I feel for you, better fucking go away.
I will be here, better fucking go away.
I'm doing the best I ever did, I'm doing the best that I can.
I don't need to fantasise; you are my pet all the time.
I don't mind if you go blind.
You get what you get until you're through with mine.
I feel for you, better fucking go away.
I will be here, you better go away.
I'm doing the best I ever did, I'm doing the best that I can.
KEEP AWAY
Sickness spilling through your eyes, craving everything that you thought was alive.Stab me in my heart again, drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?
Do like I told you, stay away from me, never misunderstand me, keep away from me.
Twisting everything around that you say,
Smack me in my mouth two hundred times every other day.
Rag me, I don't hear you anymore, not yet.
Find out what it means to me, I don't know who you are.
Do like I told you, stay away from me, never misunderstand me, keep away from me.
Dragging on so lonely, aren't you tired, baby?
Breathing life into your lungs, are you immune to me?
Do like I told you, stay away from me, never misunderstand me, keep away from me.
TIME BOMB
I am in a living hell, makes me wonder if I'm alive.Can't seem to bring myself to figure out why.
I shove and I pull away to the things that I call you every day.
I can't seem to break you down, but I know I'll come around.
I feel your pins through my eyes, piercing me.
Lie down in all this piss, you drink it from me every day.
I live in a world of shit, been left here to die.
Sometimes I realise my mind is meant to go away.
Never have I seen your god, so why should I believe in faith?
I feel your pins through my eyes, piercing me all the time.
Another time bomb.
I am in a living hell, makes me wonder if I'm alive.
Can't seem to bring myself to figure out why.
And I shove and I pull away the things that I call you every night.
I can't seem to break you down, but I know I'll come around.
I feel your pins through my eyes, piercing me all the time.
I never find the time to find another fucking place,
I'm a bad motherfucker who lives it every day.
You never look at me now, you never look me in the face.
I'm a time bomb, baby.
What am I waiting for?
BAD RELIGION
Get back!Can you feel I'm not like you anymore? I can't see, I can't breathe.
See you quiver like the dogs on the streets, looking down on as I beat you.
It's a bad religion from a broken nation.
It's a contradiction, and I can't take it anymore.
Who's to say I won't like you anyway? Take a deep breath, I'm alive.
Can you hear me? I'm alive inside you. Agony creeps up behind you.
It's a bad religion from a broken nation.
It's a contradiction, and I can't take it any fucking way.
Can you feel it? I got to live with it every day,
And I can't take the pressure.
I'm going insane, now go away.
IMMUNE
Patience is how I'm living today.I lie before you, stressing me out again.
My life is twisted like your own brains.
I can't accept that again.
Face it, try it, immune to what you are.
A superstition jinxing me like the black cat.
Inside you, it's only what I crave.
A system breakdown. Can you remember your name?
Did you forget you? Did you forget your identity?
Face it, try it, immune to what you are.
What's the matter with your own ways?
Why are you freaking me out again?
What's the matter with your own mind?
You can't be yourself anymore
When you're sucking out my life from under me.
Face it, try it, immune to what you are.
GET UP, GET OUT!
Why are you laughing as if you're my friend?I'm gonna slap you again and again and again.
I like you better when you go away.
Got to get up, got to get out, you got to get up, you got to go away.
You were the love of my life for a day,
And I kind of thought that you'd feel the same way, no way.
I like you better when you go away.
Got to get up, got to get out, you got to get up, you got to go away.
Consider you a figment of my imagination, but will you ever go away?
NOW OR NEVER
Can't remember my name, can't remember at all.Finding you from past times, I think, how did we ever fall?
Never knowing the answers, calling myself names.
Now is not the question for us. Will it ever be again?
Why don't you just fly to me?
And how long will you wait for me?
Never? Now or never again.
Feel me up inside you, how you quiver and shake.
Can I rape you back to my life? Will you trust me again?
Now or never.
And I'll never let you down, so fly to me.
And how long, how long can I wait?
Why don't you just fly to me?
And how long will you wait for me?
Never? Now or never again.
STRESS
You think your head's aching, I'm not finished yet.I won't be mistaken. How soon you forget.
Take back what you said and I'll spare you pain.
Then you can spare me all your fucking lies.
I can't wait to get away.
I ask you twenty more times. Don't you hear a thing?
You're testing my patience again. Careful for your sake.
Take a walk with me there and I'll show you pain.
But who said you can open up your mouth?
I can't wait to get away.
Thoughts are pissed away, and for a minute I couldn't swallow.
If you think that I'm the one who'll be here come tomorrow.
You took me in.
In time, I'll be here, not waiting for you anymore.
I love you anyway.
Is it so rare, that I've been sleeping with the dead?
SITUATION
Lying in my sweat, drying my tears, waiting for you, I am.Making me feel like I don't care.
This situation in my head, will this situation ever end?
How can I feel if I can't breathe?
What we once had will never be again.
This situation in my head, will this situation ever end?
And I cannot take it anymore.
I really like what you can give me,
But I don't know where I'm standing right now, not yet.
And I really think that you can hear me.
Why you're not turning this around, I'll never know.
This situation.
VOODOO
I'm not the one who's so far away when I feel the snakebite enter my veins.Never did I want to be here again, and I don't remember why I came.
Candles raise my desire, why I'm so far away.
No more meaning to my life, no more reason to stay.
Freezing feeling, breathe in, I'm coming back again.
I'm not the one who's so far away when I feel the snakebite enter my veins.
Never did I want to be here again, and I don't remember why I came.
Hazing clouds rain on my head, empty thoughts fill my ears.
Find my shade by the moonlight, why my thoughts aren't so clear.
Demons dreaming, breathe in, I'm coming back again.
I'm not the one who's so far away when I feel the snakebite enter my veins.
Never did I want to be here again, and I don't remember why I came.
Voodoo.
from the album "Awake"
SICK OF LIFE
Paralysed, nothing’s getting through to me, hypnotised from all my surroundings.I want to be something I could never be, I want to say things that I could never say.
I’m gonna do it again.
Sick of my life, I’m tired of everything in my life.
Dragged down, rubbing my face in the ground, no time for the undecided.
I want to know why I’ve always felt alone, I want to love. Why am I untouchable?
I’m gonna do it again.
Sick of my life, I’m tired of everything in my life.
I never wanted to be sick of my life, I’m tired of everything in my life.
AWAKE
Wait another minute, can’t you see what this pain has fucking done to me?I’m alive and still kicking.
What you see I can’t see and maybe you’ll think before you speak.
I’m alive for you, I’m awake because of you.
I’m alive, told you, I’m awake, swallowing you.
Take another second, turn your back on me and make believe that you’re always happy.
It’s safe to say you’re never alive.
A big part of you has died, and by the way, I hope you’re satisfied.
I’m alive for you, I’m awake because of you.
I’m alive, told you, I’m awake, swallowing you.
Tearing it back, unveiling me, taking a step back so I can breathe.
Hear the silence about to break, fear resistance when I’m awake.
GREED
Two faced, I feel you crawling under my skin, sickened by your face.By the way, to think that your so fucking kind, you ain’t.
Hard to find how I feel, especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel. Please someone help me.
I knew when an angel whispered into my ear,
‘You got to get him away.’
Hey, little bitch, be glad you finally walked away,
Or you may have not lived another day.
Hard to find how I feel, especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel. Please someone help me.
Hard to find how I feel, controlling me every step of the way.
Hard to find how I feel, you greedy little baby.
BAD MAGICK
Does it feel so bad when you’re taking a dragAnd when you’re looking at the world through dying eyes?
When you stare at it dead and you’re giving it head
And all those things you say you love never come alive.
If it feels so bad, bad magick playing off of me.
Feels so bad, I don’t want to be your friend.
Feels so bad, bad magick laying into me.
Feels so bad, I don’t want to hear it again.
When you get so high that you’re wanting to die,
But everything around you is turning green.
When you’re getting so low,
And I know you’ve been feeling like a dried-out leaf in a summer breeze.
I don’t like it.
If it feels so bad, bad magick playing off of me.
Feels so bad, I don’t want to be your friend.
Feels so bad, bad magick laying into me.
Feels so bad, I don’t want to hear it again.
Getting back, back on track, get off of my back.
GOIN’ DOWN
I see the world, it’s going round, seems to me it’s upside-down.Looking for something to say, I feel a little different anyway.
Does it make much sense to you, doing all those things you do?
Making sure that I’m all right, I’m fine.
I’ve been feeling I’m going down.
MISTAKES
No, I don’t feel a thing, life’s going by me.And still I say, oh God, I’m making the same mistakes.
Low? I’m on empty. Try to erase all the bad times.
Free? I don’t seem to be; my soul remains tied to your life.
Every breath you breathe deep, I feel you circulating through me.
I’ll never forgive myself again.
I’m so sick and tired of making the same mistakes.
God help me.
TRIPPIN’
Living a different way, you can’t expect me to be the same.Separating our lives and wondering why, face down, I walk away.
Every time I think I do the right thing, you turn your back on me.
Tripping into a world that never seems too far away.
Too much time, too many wasted days.
How can you be this way? Now I’m alone and cold today.
I’m walking dead man’s drive, reaching out for my life.
I’ve been known to fuck up everything.
In this skin there’s a broken man.
Tripping into a world that never seems too far away.
Too much time, too many wasted days.
Just another vision in my world.
FORGIVE ME
There’s nothing to me now, an empty shell unfolded.How, when we learn to pray, inside our demons are laughing?
How long will this go on? Are we a bit much stronger?
Do you think you can save me from living this way?
I don’t know how to love; I just know how to live.
All I feel is hate. Will you forgive me?
For all those things I’ve done, they keep on creeping by me.
And though we’ve changed our ways, still all our demons are laughing.
How long will this go on? Aren’t we a bit much stronger?
I’d like to think you’ve came into my life to stay.
I don’t know how to love; I just know how to live.
All I feel is hate. Will you forgive me?
I don’t know how to breathe with you too far away.
Don’t know how to love. Will you forgive me?
No, I can’t live this way.
I don’t know how to love; I just know how to live.
All I feel is pain. Will you forgive me?
I don’t know how to breathe with you too far away.
I don’t know how to love.
Past lives I’ve lived, uncontrolled but sacred.
You’ve finally seen all that’s left of me.
So hard to feel, so hard to breathe.
Will you forgive me?
VAMPIRES
Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.What explains our enduring fascination with vampires?
What is it about the vampire myth that explains our interest?
Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power and control,
Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead,
And what dark and hidden parts of our psyche
are aroused and captivated by the legends of the undead?
The mystery of the undead will continue to fascinate the living.
SPIRAL
Sometimes we only live for the here and now, sometimes we’re lonely.Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded, or fly away again.
I will fly away again.
I feel rain pouring down, I wait to rot away, live again, here forever.
The spiral never ends.
Why are we feeling something’s familiar around us? Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found, we fly away again.
I will fly away again.
I feel rain pouring down, I wait to rot away, live again, here forever.
The spiral never ends.
I will fly away again.
from the album "Faceless"
STRAIGHT OUT OF LINE
There’s no reason, there’s no compromise, changing seasons, living the high life.I don’t know you, so don’t freak on me, I can’t control you, you’re not my destiny.
Straight out of line, I can’t find a reason why I should justify my ways.
Straight out of line, I don’t need a reason, you don’t need to lie to me.
I’ll confess this, you’re my tragedy, I’ve laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me.
Gone forever, banished the memories, displays of pleasure are masked by your misery.
Straight out of line, I can’t find a reason why I should justify my ways.
Straight out of line, I don’t need a reason, you don’t need to lie to me.
FACELESS
Hate me with everything, I’m better off without your animosity,I’ll even sleep better at night.
I once believed in you, reminding me of everything you put me through,
Now everything just feels alright.
I feel so betrayed, mistaken.
I create another day, you’ll be gone tomorrow, lie to me, you’re faceless.
You’ve made me out to be responsible for your self inflicted misery,
It never felt like this before.
Don’t be surprised to see that I have nothing left for you to bleed
When you come crawling back for more.
I feel so betrayed, mistaken.
I create another day, you’ll be gone tomorrow, lie to me, you’re faceless.
CHANGES
All or nothing, it sometimes lies between what’s undecided,And all for nothing, it seems I’m wasting my time.
Don’t look down on me like I don’t know anything that I’ve been doing.
You talk down to me, it’s time you take a better look inside.
I’ll never be the same, I’m moving back onto my ways, I’m looking for changes into my way.
Bow down to me, take in your pride and stuff it down inside.
Vows are ruined, losing my faith, losing time.
Better off you than me, I just can’t stand another day when you’re in my way.
A long time brewing, it’s time you kiss your ass goodbye.
I’ll never be the same, I’m moving back onto my ways, I’m looking for changes into my way.
MAKE ME BELIEVE
Throw away my dreams, this fight for my life isn’t getting behind me,And I’ve been told to scream, where no one can hear me it doesn’t mean nothing,
So make me believe, just take me away from this hell I’ve created,
And I’m afraid I’m breaking my own vows knowing I’ll go down in flames.
I know this can’t be right, there’s got to be something more that I can live for,
And I can only hide inside of this sickness for so long again,
So make me believe, just take me away from this hell I’ve created,
And I’m afraid I’m breaking my own vows knowing I’ll go down.
Make me believe, just take me away from temptation that’s calling me,
And I’m afraid I’m breaking my own vows knowing I’ll go down in flames.
Running in circles, confusion is calling my name,
Hiding inside of this poisoning madness again.
I’m tired, I’m broken, I’m walking along with the dead.
Will I ever feel like I once did?
I STAND ALONE
I’ve told you this once before, can’t control me,If you try to take me down you’re gonna break.
I feel your every nothing that you’re doing for me,
I’m thinking you ought to make your own way.
I stand alone inside.
You’re always hiding behind your so-called goddess,
So what, you don’t think that we can see your face?
Resurrected back before the final falling,
They’ll never rest until I can make my own way.
I’m not afraid of fading.
I stand alone, feeling your sting down inside me, I’m not dying for it,
I stand alone, everything that I believe is fading, I stand alone inside.
Now it’s my time to dream of the sky.
Make me believe that this place isn’t plagued by the poison in me.
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe into me.
I stand alone, feeling your sting down inside me, I’m not dying for it,
I stand alone, everything that I believe is fading, I stand alone inside.
RE-ALIGN
Decisions made from desperation, no way to go.Internal instincts craving isolation for me to grow.
My fears come alive in this place where I once died.
Demons dreaming, knowing I just needed to realign.
Fell in a river of illusion and apathy.
Drowning in a self induced confusion, I’d rather be.
My fears come alive in this place where I once died.
Demons dreaming, knowing I just needed to realign.
I FUCKING HATE YOU
For everything you do, I’d like to swallow you, and everyday I’m gonna blame you.Even if you justify every fucking bullshit lie, it only makes me want to break you.
You pull me down and you crucify my name, you make me insane.
It’s broken now, don’t ever look my way, don’t even think I’m playing,
Cause I fucking hate you, you’re such a liar.
And I’d love to hang you, you’re all the same to me.
When you repeatedly take advantage of me the only thought I get of you sickens me.
Everybody knows you’re fake, you’re everything I fucking hate,
And I’m everything that you could never be.
You pull me down and you crucify my name, you make me insane.
It’s broken now, don’t ever look my way, don’t even think I’m playing,
Cause I fucking hate you, you’re such a liar.
And I’d love to hang you, you’re all the same to me.
Fuck you!
RELEASING THE DEMONS
(What do you see in the dark when the demons come for you?)If only you could have seen how fucked up my life used to be.
Then everything starts to change, supposedly healing my pain.
I never thought I’d feel this way, I never thought that I’d see the day
I’d run away from anything or anywhere or anyone.
It’s all these demons haunting me, it’s all these little things trapped inside of me,
Releasing me from all my sin.
It’s taken me all of my anger and taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together, releasing the demons again.
And now I look through my mind’s eye and see where my past needs to rest.
It’s always disturbed by these voices that echo inside of my head.
Another way that I can hide, another reason to crawl inside and get away
From everything and everywhere and everyone.
It’s all these demons haunting me, it’s all these little things trapped inside of me,
Releasing me from all my sin.
It’s taken me all my anger and taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together, releasing the demons again.
Facing the days as I grow into my own, loving and hating’s the same,
And threefold I told you it comes back with laughter over and over again, it’s coming back.
DEAD AND BROKEN
Too many things are never spoken, I’m not feeling fine.I never told you what to do, I never made you a promise that you could hold me to.
That’ll be the day you see me crying.
Every day I still say you’re dead and broken.
How many different faces can you show me? How many times can you be right?
Another world of fantasy, another reason for dramatising everything.
Taking it all in just one more time, I’m dying.
Every day I still say you’re dead and broken.
Sorry to see that you’re underestimated lately.
I’d rather be dead and broken than living in your dreams.
I AM
I am your spoken truth, I am the lies in you,I’m gonna make you shine in everything you do.
I am your lighted way and I’m your darkest day,
I’m here to help you see, you can rely on me.
Just consider me your friend, I am until the end.
Can I guarantee you life? I don’t think I can.
This isn’t the life for me, this isn’t the way I want to be,
And let me tell you, death will come when I’m good and ready.
I am your peace of mind, confusing all your time,
I’m running through your veins, I am your pain.
I thought by now you’d know I’ll never let you go,
It’s time you recognise I am the devil’s eyes.
Just consider me your friend, I am until the end.
Can I guarantee you life? I don’t think I can.
This isn’t the life for me, this isn’t the way I want to be,
And let me tell you, death will come when I’m good and ready.
(Death will come when I’m good and goddamn ready.)
Take me by my hand and let me show you what I am, I’m taking control again.
Now I know I can take you back to where it all began, cause I am.
SERENITY
As I sit here and slowly close my eyes,I take another deep breath and feel the wind pass through my body.
I’m the one in your soul, reflecting inner light,
Protect the ones who hold you, cradling your inner child.
I need serenity in a place where I can hide.
I need serenity, nothing changes, days go by.
Where do we go when we just don’t know and how do we relight the flame when it’s cold?
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing and when will we learn to control?
Tragic visions slowly stole my life, tore away everything, cheating me out of my time.
I’m the one who loves you, no matter wrong or right,
And every day I hold you, I hold you with my inner child.
I need serenity in a place where I can hide.
I need serenity, nothing changes, days go by.
Where do we go when we just don’t know and how do we relight the flame when it’s cold?
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing and when will we learn to control?
from the EP "The Other Side"
RUNNING BLIND
Can’t find the answers, I’ve been crawling on my knees,Looking for anything to keep me from drowning.
Promises have been turned to lies, can’t even be honest inside,
Now I’m running backward, watching my life wave me goodbye.
I’m running blind, somebody help me see, I’m running blind.
Searching for nothing, wondering if I’ll change,
I’m trying everything, but everything still stays the same.
I thought if I showed you I could fly, wouldn’t need anyone by my side,
Now I’m running backward with broken wings, I know I’ll die.
I’m running blind, somebody help me see, I’m running blind.
TOUCHÉ
Find a way, a way to be; you’re looking down again, just let it be.And I’d only do for you what you’d do for me,
And I only would do for you what you’d do for me.
Wasting time like it was free, will you ever find where you’ll be?
And I only would do for you what you’d do for me.
Don’t look back just to lean on me, it’s taken the life out of me,
It’s not like you’d know, you’ve never been close enough, closer than you’ve been to me.
It’s not what you say, it’s just in the way you push me away.
And I’d only do for you what you’d do for me,
And I only would do for you what you’d do for me.
VOICES
Listen to the rain falling day by day.I hear you calling, voices are here again, I hear you whisper, taking control of me.
Watch the dancing shadows run away, all alone once again, afraid.
All these faces, changing their shapes on me.
I said, laid it in my own world, will it ever be free?
Haunted figures around me, I want them to stay.
They’re always there to protect me, this is one thing you can’t take away.
Listen to the rain falling day by day.
I hear you calling, voices are here again,
I hear you whisper in my own mind, will it ever change?
Voices.
