Manic

Lady spider, come do the devil's dance with me
So I can feel again
Bite me deep
let the poison sink to my brian
And now I have fallen down
I can not make a sound and my time is running out
The hour glass
is bleeding down to the end
(Chorus)
But now Im fine
I feel alright
maybe better than
Im higher than you all
Im standing 10 feet tall
and Im never coming down
Manic!
I just do it for the high
(Verse)
Hiding in plain sight
wrapped up in another lie
so you cant see who I am
Youd turn and run
as fast as you could if you knew
Lady spider, hold me close
youre not my savior just my ghost
that haunts me everyday
It's been so long
I forgot how to live without you
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Living on this battle field
I dont know what's right
I don't know what's real
All I know is the numbness
I feel everyday
So lady spider kill me desire
fill me with doubt and pain
come and sweep me off my feet
take my breath away
(chorus)

Nightmare
06:20
|
|||
I woke up in a nightmare
and I couldn't see
my legs were so heavy
as they were chasing me
I was running from monsters
a fiction that I believe
but my legs were too heavy
and my lungs wouldn't breathe
(pre-chorus)
It was all just a dream (x3)
but was it all just a dream?
(verse)
I woke up the next morning
with a sigh of relief
but the I had to keep running
from this reality
the monsters kept coming
whether real or in my head
cant put my feet on the floor now
cause they hide under my bed
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
The sun is shining
a light so blinding
in my dark room
The clock is winding
this fear is binding
and I can not break through
(verse) I woke up after not sleeping
from the nightmares Ive had
and everyone seems to think
that its not all that bad
the chemicals are off balance
thats how the monsters are born
all looks fine on the surface
but on the inside Im torn
(Pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(bridge)
toss and turn at night fighting off sleep
running from what might be there to get me
tuck myself in tight keep my feet covered
so the monsters can not pull me under
(Chorus x2)

One Loose Screw
05:04
|
|||
I don't want to be left alone
To sink into this padded cell of springs
buried down in a hopeless hole
Thoughts like bells that always ring
Nights pass by with bright red eyes
crystals break as they crash down to the floor
war's just a fight of the heart and the mind
but what the hell are we fighting for?
(chorus)
Sleep in a box as thick as walls
I've got no home cause I've got no heart
Void of faith and time just stalls
One loose Screw and we all fall apart
(Verse)
I don't want to be alone tonight
Tightly wrapped inside this cloak of skin
fear sets in and it's fight or flight
freeze to your enemies and you'll never win
(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)

Fighting chance
04:08
|
|||
Woke up this morning "What's the point?"
In a crumbling world soon to be destroyed
Crippling pain, the innocent diseased
lack of faith I wont get on my knees
and if I leave here who will care?
In 100 years no one will know my tale
should I close my eyes and get some rest?
Let life pass by pull myself from this test
(chorus)
When times get hard we ask these questions
answers don't come, not that we expect them
but you've got to make the most of what you've got
Cause no one's gonna do it for you
(verse)
I once was there at the edge of life
bent at the knees to plunge into fire
but I could not spring and I don't know why
but when I stop to think I cant deny
If I'm gonna live I gonna do it right
cause no ones gonna do it for me
(chorus)
(bridge)
So I'll give myself a fighting chance
grab the world by the face with both hands
Scream "do your worst cause here I stand"
I'm not afraid I know I'm in command
and if I'm not gonna fight well I'd might as well die
Cause no one's gonna do it for me
(chorus) X2

Landing Lane
03:32
|
|||
The sunshine glistens on the water
the Cattails dance in the wind
the pair birds mimic us in harmony
for a moment everything is perfect
love my be an obsticle
but we don't have to worry about that right now
cause if you're here with me just for today
then follow me down to the canal
I see a road in the distance
people drive through life so fast
racing to move on from this moment
but I never want this moment to pass
Your eyes shine like the sun on the water
just you and me no one else around
so I kiss you like there's no tomorrow
so just follow me down to the canal
(vocalizing)
follow me down to the canal
Love may be an obsticle
and if youre here with me just for today
Ill keep this memory close to me
so follow me down to the canal
yeah just follow me down to the canal

Relapse
04:35
|
|||
My body's shakin'
my heart is racing
lost all feelin'
but the feeling of alone
If I could just go back
get caught in a relapse
lock me in the chains
that make me feel so free
(chorus)
I'm starting over
no longer sober
back to the way
that things used to be
I cant recover
I'm going under
back to the way
that things used to be
(verse)
I've gone to meetings
shared all of my feelings
it's the same old story
of a lost and tortured soul
I've done the 12 steps
found most of them useless
I put faith in a man
who lives inside my head
(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)
(coda)
I've picked my poison
couldn't avoid it
I guess it's another
night on my own
I've picked my poison
couldn't avoid it
so here's to another night...
all alone

All Out War
05:51
|
|||
This is all out war
you banked om yourself
on the run but too blind to see
that your smallest fear
while you're hiding out
has to do with authority
and I'll hide in the shadows
it won't be quick
but full of blasphemy
this is all out war
no holding back
you don't fuck with my family
(chorus)
If they never catch you I will
If they never catch you I will
I'll be the judge. the jury, the executioner
if they never catch you I will
close your eyes and say good night
(verse)
this is all out war
loss of self control
burning down all you see
this is all out war
loss of self control
trading your blood for greed
this is all out war
loss of self control
drown in the river you bleed
this is all out war
no holding back
you don't fuck with my family
(chorus)
(bridge)
(verse)
This is all out war
banked on yourself
on the run but to blind to see
this is all out war
loss of self control
trading your blood for greed
and I'll hide in the shadows
it won't be quick
but full of blasphemy
this is all out war
no holding back
you don't fuck with my family
(chorus)
(outro)
close your eyes and say good night X4

The way I felt before
02:09
|
|||
Here I am again
same position as before
walk along these dirty streets
forever staring at the floor
well I should've seen in coming
but how much can I endure?
sometimes this feeling's over whelming
this feeling that I felt before
find the beginning of a circle
to stop the spiraling beneath
the expiration's where I curdle
but I've been rotting here for weeks
Silence becomes convenient
don't wanna talk anymore
but from miles I should've seen it
to fight against the way I felt before
(solo)
If I could wake out of this nightmare
than forever may I sleep
for now I lay awake and wonder
in between my counting sheep
stripped down in a gutter
for some change is all I ask
maybe a token of your pitty
or all the love one hand could grasp
Now all I ask for is your mercy
but mercy's given when it's shown
I swear I should be stronger
into a man I should've grown
But a man should never feel this way
a man should feel secure
a man should stand up and fight
against the way I felt before

Time's Up
04:44
|
|||
She said
"who are you and what have you done
with the man that I used to call 'the one'
The one who'd do anything to make me happy
now a sullen shadow of who you used to be"
Her words cut like daggers the wounds start to cry
but it's been so long since I've seen the light in her eyes
the life we built together now on life support
at this point it may be best to just pull the chord
(chorus)
We're done
it's over
I'm not happy
I'm tired of falling face down on the floor
We're done
It's over
I'm not happy
Time's Up!
I don't love you any more
(Verse)
I always thought that
In spite of the fights
The never solving problems
and the need to be right
I always thought we'd pull it out on the end
but I ignored your tears and confirmed your fears
time and again
You say I'm different
and I know it's true
but I ignore the fact cause Im scared to death
and I don't know what to do
This bitterness and anger
has become my ball and chain
but how can I expect you to understand
when I cant even explain
(chorus)
(bridge)
(Chorus)

The Empty Room
03:22
|
|||
Don't come around today
just let me fade away
there's nothing left
for me here
Don't call me it's too late
to try and mess with fate
in the end
it's just the empty room
(chorus)
For whatever you may need
when my soul finally leaves
you'll find me
in the empty room
(verse)
When it's all said and through
I wont care an neither can you
void of thought
void of heart and mind
still I wonder if and when
I will ever see you again
in the end
it's just the empty room
(chorus)
