Dark Of My Head, Tonight

If I could paint emotions, I’d cover your walls
Until every drip of feeling falls
From love to hate and grace to rage
Either way, you're kinda stuck in a cage
We’re waking up faceless, shameless and unsure
Still the spark of you ignites me
It sends a shiver through my spine
Endlessly tying you to my mind
Still they flood through shades of gray
Making the night beg for the day
Singular thoughts leave my mind undone
It plays and plays when the idea has begun
We’re waking up faceless, shameless and unsure
Still the spark of you ignites me
It sends a shiver through my spine
Endlessly tying you to my mind
In the darkness it’s so easy
In the darkness it’s so easy
To play with the demons in the dark of my head tonight
We forsake the light
To play with the demons in the dark of my head tonight
We forsake the light

Life goes wrong when your stuck in an awkward situation
Life goes on whether or not you deal with confrontation
Friends and foes from left to right and some of them are not so bright
We have gone from the Golden Gate across the states to the Brooklyn Bridge
To give up the no good fight
That kid over there, I hear he needs to seal his fate
That kid over there, I hear he needs to find one to disgrace
I pick up the pace and tell him it is getting late
He's unhappy with his life so he places blame to save his face
You need to focus on yourself
Put your pain up on a shelf
Give up the no good fight, alright
I fell in love with rocks that roll
From a kid a I felt the fire
If I told you this doesn't feed my soul
I'd be a fucking liar
I fell in love with rocks that roll
From a kid a I felt the fire
If I told you this doesn't feed my soul
I'd be a fucking liar

I know what you're thinkin, did he fire six shots or only five?
Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself
But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world
It would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question
Do you feel lucky?
Well do ya, punk?
Eastwood - I tried being reasonable and I didn't like it
Eastwood - If you want a guarantee, buy a fuckin' toaster
Eastwood - There's nothing wrong with shooting people as long as the right people get shot
Eastwood
Do you feel lucky?
Do you feel lucky?
Do you feel lucky?
Well do ya, punk?

Shiver In It's Arms
03:56
|
|

With one hiss we cast an endless spell
Strong enough to reach the damned in hell
Steal their teeth with a liquid fix
Sedative candy, it's a deadly mix
Cough up your demon's seed
Will this satisfy my need?
The demons come to life as I bleed
Potent pain we quietly seek
Never heed the pleas that we speak
The want to feel, the need to numb
Forsaken will, we choose what we become
Yet the pain wakes me from my sleep
The price of death is cheap
Shed the blood that may be bled
We'll breed the living dead
Shiver in it's arms 'til I'm blue
I'm numb from the words that are true
Survival is the only expression
The end is the only question
Yet the pain wakes me from my sleep
The price of death is cheap
Shed the blood that may be bled
We'll breed the living dead
Shiver in it's arms 'til I'm blue
Shiver in it's arms 'til I'm blue
Shiver in it's arms 'til I'm blue

Blue With You
02:07
|
|

In this dark world filled up with our desires and lust
Time will bring us to our knees, breaking bones with rust
It seems we suffer a quiet loss in this game of lovers
We love and lose and push our pain deep for none to recover
I need calm words
To mend my mind
I hear your breath
Don't leave without
Catching the beast of my mind tonight
Catching the beast of my mind tonight
Catching the beast of my mind tonight
Catching the beast of my mind
I'll keep you like a secret that burns on my fuckin' lips
I'll keep you near in fear that you might slip out from my grips
I wanna hear your breath and I wanna hear it now
I'll turn blue with you girl, just let me show you how
Don't leave without catching the beast of my mind tonight
Don't leave without catching the beast of my mind tonight
Don't leave me now

No One Will Know You

Waiting for my words just to sink your teeth into, my love
All of these claims I speak are much too true of you, my love
Nobody knows you, nobody will
When I look at you, I can see through
No one will know you like I will tonight
You reach out but there's nothing there to grasp for you, my love
I yell and with this last breath of air I gasp for my love
Your essence is fully alive but only in your mind
So let it live and allow my thoughts to let yours unwind
I'll take the taste of dread from your lips
as you swallow me down in short, sweet sips tonight my love
This could be the end of every unsure feeling that I've felt
Instead of fighting fate I will embrace the hands of life I'm dealt
This could be the end of every unsure feeling that I've felt
Instead of fighting fate I will embrace the hands of life I'm dealt
This could be the end of every unsure feeling that I've felt
Instead of fighting fate I will embrace the hands of life I'm dealt
When I look at you, I can see through
No one will know you like I will tonight

Road of Bones

I don't wanna see you go down that road of bones
I don't wanna see you run away from home
I want to see the world the way it was
I want things to stay the same just because
With selfishness and comfort I'm afraid
The fear of change won't change what's already made
At least I know you're afaid of nothin'
And I know you're not runnin away from somethin'
Fly, fly, fly, fly so high
You're on your way to Tennessee to die
You've lived too many harvest moons
When every year ends in June

I fell asleep with the TV and the lights on
I fell asleep with my shirt and my pants on, woah
I wondered why I couldn't sleep
I'm lacking comfort to count the sheep
Turn the lights off, turn the tube off
Now it's time to turn my dreams off, yeah
I woke up with the TV and the lights on
I work up with my shirt and my pants on, woah
I wondered why I felt like shit
Scratch my head and I turn to spit
Dehydration has taken it's toll
I wondered if I ever had a soul
This place should never feel the way it does
I couldn't see the world the way it was
Let me slip into your mind this time
For what we feel is not a fucking crime

Personifying Bliss

I get lost some nights, I try to make sense of everything that I see
But I know this place well, I see it in your dreams where I often sleep
And when I miss the world that fills your fuckin' head
I search mine for a trace of you instead
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't...
Tonight if should we meet remember how your touch soaks my skin in the heat
Personifying bliss, my heart drums loudly to your fingertips
I need certain chords to soothe my soul for all the times when the dark of life took it’s toll
So you sing to me so sweetly, help me see sanctify humanity
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
