Waiting for Signs - Korn lyrics
from the album “Untouchables”
HERE TO STAY
This time taking it away, I’ve got a problem with me getting in the way, not by design.
So I take my face and bash it into a mirror, I won’t have to see the pain.
This state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating,
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again.
The hurt inside is fading, this shit’s gone way too far.
All this time I’ve been waiting, now I cannot grieve anymore.
The ones inside are waking, I’m not a whore.
You’ve taken everything, now I cannot give anymore.
My mind’s done with this, okay, I got a question:
Can I throw it all away, take back what’s mine?
So I take my time, driving humbly down the line, each cut goes up to the vein.
This state is elevating as the hurt turns into hating,
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again.
The hurt inside is fading, this shit’s gone way too far.
All this time I’ve been waiting, now I cannot grieve anymore.
The ones inside are waking, I’m not a whore.
You’ve taken everything, now I cannot give anymore.
I’m here to stay. (Gonna break it down.)
MAKE BELIEVE
I’m thinking of thanking all the fucked people,
Thanking all the shit I love, they are all the things I’ve made.
Straight from my heart, begging all the same people,
Burning is the same evil, somehow making me feel sane.
Waiting all this time, I’ve got nothing to hold on
But the faces of my life I can see before I’m gone.
Sometimes I feel it chasing me, all the hate that’s breaking me.
I realise I’m taking everything and the guilt seems to follow.
This time I feel it taking me to a place I hate to be.
All along I seem to make believe and the shit seems to follow.
I’m thinking of making all the fucked people,
Making the bitches I love, make them die and go away.
Pain from the start, all my dreams are ripped apart,
Thanking all the fucked people, they are all the things I’ve saved.
Waiting all this time, I’ve got nothing to hold on
But the faces of my life I can see before I’m gone.
Sometimes I feel it chasing me, all the hate that’s breaking me.
I realise I’m taking everything and the guilt seems to follow.
This time I feel it taking me to a place I hate to be.
All along I seem to make believe and the shit seems to follow.
Your life, I hate it, oh God, can I reclaim?
Stop and help me.
BLAME
So I think you are a fool, hanging on my every word.
It’s getting ugly, so I’m ugly.
Tear me from your heart, tearing me apart.
So I thought you disappeared; being alone is what you fear.
Are you lonely, yes, lonely?
Tear me from your heart, tearing me apart.
Rolling and throwing, consoling everything that goes this far.
Joking and hoping, revolting all the shit that’s who you are.
Hoping and scolding, revolving, peel it back, reveal the scar.
Loathing, exploding, controlling, this is what you really are.
The time is coming, God is saying you’re really happy, what a game.
The time is coming, a bed of flames, your life is over and you’re to blame.
The time is coming, you’ve gone insane, you’re feeling happy, you’ve won the game.
The time is coming, a bed of flames, your life is over and you’re to blame.
HOLLOW LIFE
Feeding the fall, I can’t help but desire of falling down this time,
Deep in this hole am I making, I can’t escape, falling all this time.
We come to this place, falling through time, living a hollow life.
Always we’re taking, waiting for signs, hollow life.
Fearing to fall and still the ground below me calls, falling down this time.
Ripping apart all these things I have tried to stop, falling all this time.
We come to this place, falling through time, living a hollow life.
Always we’re taking, waiting for signs, hollow life.
Is there ever any wonder why we look to the sky, searching space, asking why?
All alone, where is God? Looking down, we don’t know.
We fall in space, we can’t look down, death may come, peace I have found.
What to say, am I alive? Am I asleep or have I died?
(Haunting me.)
(Something takes a part of me.)
BOTTLED UP
It ain’t fading, man, I got to let it out.
Am I crazy, screaming, nothing ever comes out.
I keep feeling lost, I’ll never find my way out.
I’m not drinking it, and then the truth can pour out.
Give me some courage, beating me down the wall sometime.
Are you laughing at my body? I hate inside.
I’ll take this time to let out what’s inside,
Cause I will panic, sometimes I wish you’d die.
Full of sorrow, you raped and stole my pride, and all this hate is bottled up inside.
My heart is breaking, man, you really ripped it out.
You take pleasure watching as I claw my way out.
The hurt’s rising, soon it’s going to tear my soul out.
It’s not kosher feeling like I’m on my way out.
Give me some courage, beating me down the wall sometime.
Are you laughing at my body? I hate inside.
I’ll take this time to let out what’s inside,
Cause I will panic, sometimes I wish you’d die.
Full of sorrow, you raped and stole my pride, and all this hate is bottled up inside.
Feeling the hate as they cut down my spine,
Peeling your flesh like the way you’ve cut mine.
Do you feel happy you fucked up my mind?
You’re going to pay this time.
THOUGHTLESS
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies, pushing all the mercy down.
I want to see you try to take a swing at me; come on, gonna put you on the ground.
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it’s funny? What the fuck you think it’s doing to me?
You take your turns lashing out at me.
I want you crying when you’re dirty and in front of me.
All of my hate cannot be bound, I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming.
So you can try to tear me down, beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming.
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies, I’m above you, smiling at you, drown.
I want to kill and rape you the way you raped me, as I pull the trigger and you’re down.
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it’s funny? What the fuck you think it’s doing to me?
You take your turns lashing out at me.
I want you crying when you’re dirty and in front of me.
All of my hate cannot be bound, I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming.
So you can try to tear me down, beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming.
All my friends are gone, they died, they all screamed and cried.
Gonna take you down!
I got my fucking back against the wall.
HATING
My life is such a waste, begging on something to work this time,
But why can’t I relate, feeling all like who is scared, what’s mine?
Holding onto faith never gave me nothing but despair,
So why do I create just to be swallowed?
I can’t take - we have a star.
I can’t take - we got a fantasy.
Come what may - we have a star.
I can’t wait - I’ll take what’s mine.
Believing all this time, before I crawled inside,
Believing all the basics of everything that I could find.
Believing all this time, too far to cross the line,
Believing all the basics of everything that I could find.
I cannot take this place, burning up inside this space of mine.
Why can’t I replace feelings I find hard to really find?
I try but I can’t taste, memories they always fuck with me.
So why do I create just to be swallowed?
I can’t take - we have a star.
I can’t take - we got a fantasy.
Come what may - we have a star.
I can’t wait - I’ll take what’s mine.
Believing all this time, before I crawled inside,
Believing all the basics of everything that I could find.
Believing all this time, too far to cross the line,
Believing all the basics of everything that I could find.
All my feelings have been eating all of me.
Feelings hide, is there something wrong with me?
ONE MORE TIME
Always it’s coming, and here starts the game.
Why can’t this puzzle be solved?
Each time it happens it’s always the same.
I look down and it starts to fall.
And all I see, it burns my eyes, burning all inside.
Caught in the corners of my mind, beginning over one more time,
Taking me over, taking all that’s mine one more time.
Always this teasing, sometimes I lose faith.
Where is my strength to hold on?
Facing existence, how can I relate?
Do I stand still or move on?
And all I see, it burns my eyes, burning all inside.
Caught in the corners of my mind, beginning over one more time,
Taking me over, taking all that’s mine one more time.
Falling through this space and time, buried in this hurt of mine,
Falling slowly like a dream, falling through a world unseen.
Why can I not break this spell? I’m in darkness; is this hell?
Falling towards this hole I see, this is how it has to be.
Caught in the corners of my mind, beginning over one more time,
Taking me over, taking all that’s mine one more time.
ALONE I BREAK
Pick me up, been bleeding too long.
Right here, right now, I’ll stop it somehow.
I will make it go away, can’t be here no more.
Seems this is the only way, I will soon be gone, these feelings will be gone.
Now I see the times they change; leaving us, it seems so strange.
I am hoping I can find where to leave my hurt behind.
All the shit I seem to take, all alone I seem to break.
I have lived the best I can. Does this make me not a man?
Shut me off, I’m ready, heart stops.
I stand alone, can’t be my own.
I will make it go away, can’t be here no more.
Seems this is the only way, I will soon be gone, these feelings will be gone.
Now I see the times they change; leaving us, it seems so strange.
I am hoping I can find where to leave my hurt behind.
All the shit I seem to take, all alone I seem to break.
I have lived the best I can. Does this make me not a man?
Am I going to leave this place? What is it I’m hanging from?
Is there nothing more to come? (Am I gonna leave this place?)
Is it always black in space? Am I going to take its place?
Am I going to win this race?
I guess God’s up in this place.
What is it that I’ve become? Is there something more to come?
EMBRACE
Life is boring, sleep is boring, don’t stop running, I’m here counting.
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
Really can’t fuck with me; there’s no where else to go.
So I walk but seem to crawl, for I’m giving in today.
Now I run into a wall cause I cannot find my way.
You’ve got to come with me. (I cannot stand this place.)
We're crawling up the wall. (And I’ll give in this way.)
We had our chance to run. (And now I can’t believe.)
We’re going all the way. (And everything’s in place.)
My life, worry, lifeless story, give up beating, I’ll start bleeding.
The life, the hurt, the pain, the hate
Really can’t fuck with me; there’s no where else to go.
So I walk but seem to crawl, for I’m giving in today.
Now I run into a wall cause I cannot find my way.
You’ve got to come with me. (I cannot stand this place.)
We're crawling up the wall. (And I’ll give in this way.)
We had our chance to run. (And now I can’t believe.)
We’re going all the way. (And everything’s in place.)
What really do I have to follow? Nothing makes sense at all.
Taking something for nothing, watch me as I fall, I’m bringing me down.
BEAT IT UPRIGHT
Are you ready for a good pounding, baby? Are you ready to get it on?
Don’t pretend you’re not fucking freaky, baby.
I will spank that ass just for fun.
Ass up high, make a motherfucker cry.
It’s so good that I could die, help me stay alive.
The time is right, I want to feel it good tight,
I’m down to do this all night, I’m gonna beat it up right.
I’ll behave, oh my God, make me beg.
Yes, I’m ready for a good flogging, baby, come on, beat my ass for fun.
Don’t let up til my ass is bleeding, baby, don’t let up until you are done.
Ass up high, make a motherfucker cry.
It’s so good that I could die, help me stay alive.
The time is right, I want to feel it good tight,
I’m down to do this all night, I’m gonna beat it up right.
We’re going for a ride, I got my tongue inside and outside now.
Don’t try to run and hide, yes, it’s true what they say about my kind.
WAKE UP HATE
We got a fucked up reason to live, who really gives a fuck?
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna fuck you up.
I want to break everything, I want to make it sting.
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna wake it up.
You got to get it straight, we’re gonna give it up.
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna fuck you up.
I want to break everything, I want to make it sting.
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna wake it up.
I am the burden of my everything and of its scar.
I’ll be reborn in hatred, feeling I can’t love no more.
I’ve had to suffer, I cannot wait for more.
No loving and no praying, all my hate is for the taking.
We got a fucked up reason to live, who really gives a fuck?
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna fuck you up.
I want to break everything, I want to make it sting.
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna wake it up.
You got to get it straight, we’re gonna give it up.
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna fuck you up.
I want to break everything, I want to make it sting.
We’re gonna wake up hate, we’re gonna wake it up.
I am the falling of my happiness, it is no more.
Stop loving, I’m still hating til I cannot hate no more.
I’ve had to suffer, I cannot wait for more.
No loving and no praying, all my hate is for the taking.
I’m a filthy, wasted piece of shit, I am disgusting, take me away.
I’M HIDING
Maybe I’m insane, walking on a wire.
Maybe I’m the same, nothing to take me higher.
Tell me where to start, think I’m at the end.
Right now feeling pain, make it go away.
Maybe I’m to blame, maybe I’m a liar.
Maybe we’re the same, nothing can start the fire.
I can’t feel my heart, but I feel the shame.
Nothing left to say, soon I’ll fade away.
These places, all I ever think about is lost in time.
These faces taunting me, I’m looking back and they are mine.
I’m hiding from the things they say, doing time and lead astray.
Thinking back to times of yesterday, I could fly.
I’m trying to find a better way, but I’m trapped, can’t get away.
All I think is about yesterday, I could fly.
Maybe I’m insane, walking on a wire.
Maybe I’m the same, nothing to take me higher.
I can’t feel my heart, but I feel the shame.
Nothing left to say, soon I’ll fade away.
These places, all I ever think about is lost in time.
These faces taunting me, I’m looking back and they are mine.
I’m hiding from the things they say, doing time and lead astray.
Thinking back to times of yesterday, I could fly.
I’m trying to find a better way, but I’m trapped, can’t get away.
All I think is about yesterday, I could fly.
NO ONE’S THERE
You and me, we have no faces, soon our lives, they’ll be erased.
Do you think they will remember, or will we just be replaced?
I wish that I could see, how I wish that I could fly
From the things that hang above me to a place where I can cry.
So what can it be? No one hears become echoes back at me, no one’s there.
To all these meaningless feelings I can’t deal with in my life,
To all these greedy people trying to feed on what is mine,
You’ve got to feel your hunger and stop fucking with my mind.
I know it’s time to leave these places far behind.
You and me, we have no faces, they don’t see us anymore.
Without love as they had promised and no faith for what’s in store.
I wish that I could see, how I wish that I could fly
From the things that hang above me to a place where I can cry.
So what can it be? No one hears become echoes back at me, no one’s there.
To all these meaningless feelings I can’t deal with in my life,
To all these greedy people trying to feed on what is mine,
You’ve got to fill your hunger and stop fucking with my mind.
I know it’s time to leave these places far behind.
Where are all these feelings hiding, dancing in and out my mind,
Burning up all that I long for, feeding me til my decline?
Where are you, my soul is bleeding, I am searching, am I blind?
All alone and bound forever, trapped inside me all the time.
from the album “Take a Look in the Mirror”
RIGHT NOW
I’m feeling mean today, not lost, not blown away,
Just irritated and quite hated, self control breaks down.
Why’s everything so tame? I like my life insane.
I’m fabricating and debating who I’m gonna kick around.
(right now) Can’t find a way to get across the hate when I see you.
I’m feeling strange inside, I want to slash and beat you.
I rip apart the things inside that excite you, I can’t control myself, I fucking hate you.
I’m feeling cold today, not hurt, just fucked away.
I’m devastated and frustrated, God, I feel so bound.
So why’d I feel the need? I think it’s time to bleed.
I’m gonna cut myself and watch the blood hit the ground.
(right now) Can’t find a way to get across the hate when I see you.
I’m feeling strange inside, I want to slash and beat you.
I rip apart the things inside that excite you, I can’t control myself, I fucking hate you.
You open your mouth again, I swear I’m gonna break it.
You open your mouth again, oh God I cannot take it.
Shut up, I’ll fuck you up.
BREAK SOME OFF
I am living without you, you think everything will be fine.
I fight, making it hard to lie, realise nothing is left inside.
(I’m about to break some fucking off)
Going to lose my mind, I feel I’m feeling fine, no it won’t be fine.
My lie is going to hurt you, my fate is not gonna wait this time.
I play games just to spite you, I know you’re gonna believe this time.
(I’m about to break some fucking off)
Going to lose my mind, I feel I’m feeling fine, no it won’t be fine.
Feel me as I’m laughing, leaving, eating, fucking, hating all this bullshit.
Maybe I can’t stand this, fuck.
COUNTING ON ME
Why can’t you ever back down? Why can’t you just shut your face?
Oh God the feelings I feel would get me thrown in a cage.
You’re the one who’s always screaming at me, I’m the one that keeps your life so carefree.
What the fuck more do you want me to be? Why must you do this to me?
Run away, I can’t see, lead the way, make them pay.
Counting on me, always hoping I’ll be there for all of your problems
And in turn you’re never there for me.
You sucked the life out of me, you hate everything you see,
I can’t take this anymore, I always stay when I should leave.
You see the pain in my face while you keep putting me down.
Inside the rage starts to build, you push me, I won’t go down.
You’re the one who’s always screaming at me, I’m the one that keeps your life so carefree.
What the fuck more do you want me to be? Why must you do this to me?
Run away, I can’t see, lead the way, make them pay.
Counting on me, always hoping I’ll be there for all of your problems
And in turn you’re never there for me.
You sucked the life out of me, you hate everything you see,
I can’t take this anymore, I always stay when I should leave.
Could it really be the day today? Could this really make the problems go away?
I don’t have to stop this time.
Right now, I take in all I can now, you’ve torn us all part,
Right now, there is nothing you can do to stop me.
HERE IT COMES AGAIN
Pounding, it starts again; hurting, oh where do I begin?
Screaming, they dance around my head; hoping they’ll maybe end up dead.
Feeling it grab hold, what can I say?
Really fucked up again, I can’t fucking give in.
Can’t I ever win? Here it comes again.
Silent, it goes away; patient, really should I stay?
Trying so hard to get ahead, failure is often where I’m lead.
Feeling it grab hold, what can I say?
Really fucked up again, I can’t fucking give in.
Can’t I ever win? Here it comes again.
I must hold on, I won’t be gone, I won’t stop now, I don’t know how.
Why I can’t hold on? Why I can’t be gone?
Why I can’t stop now? Why I don’t know how?
Here we go again.
DEEP INSIDE
I’m not doing great, I feel like I’m dead, not thinking straight.
Inside my body, troubled, full of hate, I had to let it out before it’s too late.
Deep inside, it can hide.
Feeling so lost and betrayed, why does this happen to me every time,
Stuck in this place where I can’t escape, screaming and clawing from deep inside?
Why won’t it fade? Outside I had to lie, I’m okay,
I hope someday I’ll stop getting pain, I guess this is the lie I have made.
Deep inside, it can hide.
Feeling so lost and betrayed, why does this happen to me every time,
Stuck in this place where I can’t escape, screaming and clawing from deep inside?
What am I doing? I can’t believe this, I have been hiding, wanting to be less,
Giving to people, they take from me, always they bring drama to me, look at me now.
Deep inside, it can hide.
Feeling so lost and betrayed, why does this happen to me every time,
Stuck in this place where I can’t escape, screaming and clawing from deep inside?
I can’t stand all of this fucking pain, please God just go away,
Please God just make the pain...
DID MY TIME
Realised I can never win, sometimes I feel like I have failed,
Inside, where do I begin, my mind is laughing at me.
Tell me, why am I to blame, aren’t we supposed to be the same?
That’s why I will never tame this thing that’s burning in me.
I am the one who chose my path, I am the one who couldn’t last,
I feel the life pulled from me, I feel the anger changing me.
Sometimes I can never tell if I’ve got something after me.
That’s why I just beg and plead for this curse to leave me.
Tell me, why am I to blame, aren’t we supposed to be the same?
That’s why I will never tame this thing that’s burning in me.
I am the one who chose my path, I am the one who couldn’t last,
I feel the life pulled from me, I feel the anger changing me.
Betrayed, I feel so enslaved, I really tried, I did my time.
Oh God the anger’s changing me.
EVERYTHING I’VE KNOWN
Away, I see it’s going down, today, hoping in time,
Will bury all this pain and will awake something inside.
We pushed our buttons far inside, we tear our hearts out then we fight.
I know, feels like I lost everything that I’ve known,
I cannot survive alone, feels like I’ve lost everything that I’ve known.
Our lives were good in every way, too late, time after time.
Our love just turned to hate but we stayed by each other’s side.
We pushed our buttons far inside, we tear our hearts out then we fight.
I know, feels like I lost everything that I’ve known,
I cannot survive alone, feels like I’ve lost everything that I’ve known.
I keep holding on, I feel I’m where I belong.
Every time we fight, it feels so wrong,
I feel so enslaved by my pride, then we meet again.
PLAY ME
Everybody’s an enemy, telling me lies and it’s killing me,
Why they all want to get rid of me?
Everybody’s my enemy, several try to disguise the devil in them,
Wanting to get into my cerebellum,
But I’m ready and willing to tell them I can’t eff with them.
Exhale so hard it got my chest swelling like my dick does watching naked women
Do sick stuff on my porn collection on television.
Trust nobody, I don’t know who to call a friend, they all just pretend to be.
Fuck everybody, this is to all of y’all cause everybody is an enemy.
Watching my own back strapped with chrome to my home is,
Where the tombstones at, where the hos at.
Cause too many men act like dykes, hermaphrodites with insane eye,
Men, look at the trash they biting.
The life and time is kind of weeder than the life and time of the sandman on Apollo theatre.
Imagine that, mother black with a hook who pull that wack talent off the stage, I’m enraged.
Trust nobody, I don’t know who to call a friend, they all just pretend to be.
Fuck everybody, this is to all of y’all cause everybody is an enemy.
You fill your lies around me and you think you’ve won.
You feel you can control me with the things you’ve done.
You think that you can take me, you think that you can play me,
You’re gonna start to hate me, I feel that you’ve disgraced me.
ALIVE
I cannot ever find a way to throw these darkened thoughts away, need a place to hide.
Its thrown in my face everyday, guess that’s the price I have to pay for what’s inside my mind.
I am alive, I will never run away, places inside, my heart screams inside with pride.
Once I cried, now I wipe away the tears, once I died, now I’m alive.
Little things take me everyday, lots of pain is how I like to play, better not cross that line.
Why’s this in my head have to be saved,
It’s something I can’t throw away, what’s inside my mind?
I am alive, I will never run away, places inside, my heart screams inside with pride.
Once I cried, now I wipe away the tears, once I died, now I’m alive.
I buy my time, I’m intertwined, I’m falling in this place I thought I left behind.
LET’S DO THIS NOW
Run away nowhere, too chicken shit to face.
I’m gonna go there, the fear I cannot taste.
You think you got me, you’re gonna tumble down.
Keep coming for me, I’ll drop you on the ground.
I fuck with no one until you get in my face.
Break you down, mercy I cannot allow, through your face my fist will plough,
Watching as your blood pours down, let’s do this now.
You’re gonna feel how I really am with you.
You’re going nowhere, don’t really know what to do.
It’s gonna to go on until you run away.
You can’t control me, you best do it my way.
I fuck with no one until you get in my face.
Break you down, mercy I cannot allow, through your face my fist will plough,
Watching as your blood pours down, let’s do this now.
Don’t you know that you can punch me? Don’t you know that you can bring me down?
My life would be so easy now if you hadn’t stepped across that line.
I’M DONE
We are the pain, we are the shame, we’ve gone insane, inside where no one’s around.
I am to blame for everything, I like this game that you all make me play.
I’m done being there for others, they have their pain and so do I.
Don’t need to feel it all over, I try to hold on and you bring me down.
We are estranged, we are deranged, I can’t explain how you all break me apart.
I am to blame for everything, I like this game that you all make me play.
I’m done being there for others, they have their pain and so do I.
Don’t need to feel it all over, I try to hold on and you bring me down.
We wait, we hate, we try to get away, mistake my pain, it has been lead astray.
I’m looking around, I drop to the ground, why does this have to end this way?
Feeling numb, so long, oh God, it’s just everything, now I pray for all of them to go away.
Y’ALL WANT A SINGLE
Y’all want a single, say fuck that.
What’s going on today? We got to break away,
We got a problem and I think it’s gonna make us go down.
They think we’re all the same and always we’re to blame
For shit I think is lame, it’s time to stop the game,
I think it’s time to pay for everything you made me say.
Y’all want a single, say fuck that.
What’s going on today? Why must it be this way?
We’re going nowhere and we’re still knocking the need to bow down.
They think we’re all the same and always we’re to blame
For shit I think is lame, it’s time to stop the game,
I think it’s time to pay for everything you made me say.
Y’all want a single, say fuck that.
We are the ones breaking you down, we are the hope to drown out your sounds,
All across the world you think we’re too found, all across the world we’re breaking you down.
Y’all want a single, say fuck that, fuck that shit.
WHEN WILL THIS END
Standing inside, rotting away, something inside of me has been taken away.
Feeling my heart breaking in vain, it won’t get better now, when will this end?
I can’t seem to get away, I feel I’m here so you can play with my head.
There’s nothing I can say, I keep feeling like I’m to blame, when will this end?
Hopeless inside, alone as I wait, brewing inside of me is your endless hate.
Feeling my heart breaking in vain, it won’t get better now, when will this end?
I can’t seem to get away, I feel I’m here so you can play with my head.
There’s nothing I can say, I keep feeling like I’m to blame, when will this end?
The stress is rising and I can’t seem to get away from you,
You’re always trying and the lying always shines right through.
My God I hate this, always take shit, can I let this go on?
Why can’t I break this? I just take this as this goes on and on, when will this end?
ONE
I can’t remember anything, can’t tell if this is true or dream.
Deep down inside I feel to scream, this terrible silence stops me.
Now that the war is through with me, I’m waking up, I cannot see.
That there is not much left for me, nothing is real but pain now.
Hold my breath as I wish for death, oh please God, wake me.
Back in the womb it’s much too real, in pumps life that I must feel,
But can’t look forward to reveal, look to the time when I’ll live,
Fed through the tube that sticks in me, just like a wartime novelty,
Tied to machines that make me be, cut this life off from me.
Hold my breath as I wish for death, oh please God, wake me.
Now the world is gone, I’m just one, oh God help me.
Hold my breath as I wish for death, oh please God, help me.
Darkness imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror.
I cannot live, I cannot die, trapped in myself, body my holding cell.
Landmine has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing,
Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul, left me with life in hell.
from the album “Greatest Hits Vol. 1”
WORD UP!
Yo, pretty ladies around the world,
Got a weird thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls,
Tell your brother, your sister and your mama too,
We’re about to go down and you know just what to do.
Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care,
Glide by the people as they stop to look and stare,
Do your dance, quick, now come on baby tell me what’s the word, word up!
Everybody say, when you hear the call you got to get it underway.
Word up, it’s the code word, no matter where you say it you know that you’ll be heard.
All you sucker deejays who think you’re fly,
There’s got to be a reason, you may know the reason why.
You try to put on those airs and act real cool,
But you got to realise that you’re acting like fools.
If there’s music we can use it, be free to dance,
We don’t have the time for psychological romance.
No romance for me, now come on baby tell me what’s the word, word up!
Everybody say, when you hear the call you got to get it underway.
Word up, it’s the code word, no matter where you say it you know that you’ll be heard.
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL
Daddy’s flown across the ocean, leaving just a memory,
A snapshot in the family album, Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, what’d you leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall,
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
We don’t need no education, we don’t need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom, teachers leave them kids alone.
Hey teacher, leave us kids alone.
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall,
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.
I don’t need no arms around me, I don’t need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall, don’t think I need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall,
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
Goodbye cruel world, I’m leaving you today.
