Ain't My Bitch


	Out of my way
	Out of my day
	Out of your mind and into mine
	It's no more
	It's not born
	Into your step but out of time
	
	Head strong
	What's wrong
	I've already heard this song before
	You've arrived,  but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye	

	Dragging me down
	While you were round
	So useless
	
	It ain't my fault
	It ain't my call
	It ain't my bitch
	Ain't my bitch
	
	Down on the sun
	Down on your fun
	Down and out where the hell you've been
	
	Damn it all down
	Damn it unbound
	Damn it all down ta hell again
	
	Stand tall
	They fall
	Never even meant it all before 
	You've arrived,  but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye
	
	Dragging me down
	While you were round
	So useless
	
	It ain't my fault
	It ain't my call
	It ain't my bitch
	
	Out of my way
	
	Out of my way
	Out of my day
	Out of your mind and into mine
	It's no more
	It's not born
	Into your step but out of time
	
	Head Strong
	What's wrong
	I've already heard this song before
	You've arrived,  but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye
	
	Dragging me down
	While you were round
	So useless
	
	It ain't my fault
	It ain't my call
	It ain't my bitch
	
	No way but down
	While you were round
	No foolin'
	
	It ain't my smile
	It ain't my style
	It ain't my bitch
	
	Ain't mine
	Your kind
	Your stepin' out of time
	
	Dragging me down
	While you were round
	No foolin'
	
	It ain't my fault
	It ain't my call
	It ain't my bitch
	Ain't my

The House Jack Built


	Open doors 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 again
	Well on my way
	On my way to where I graze
	It swallows me
	As it takes me in his home
	I twist away
	As I kill this world 
	
	Open doors 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
	As It takes me down and down again
	Is that the moon
	Or just a light that lights this deadend street?
	Is that you there
	Or just another demon that I meet?
	
	The higher you walk 
	The farther you fall
	The longer the walk
	The farther you crawl
	My body my temple
	This temple it tells
	"Step into the house that Jack built"
	
	The higher you walk 
	The farther you fall
	The longer the walk
	The farther you crawl
	My body my temple
	This temple it tells
	"Yes this is the house that Jack built"
	
	Open doors 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 walk 
	The farther you fall
	The longer the walk
	The farther you crawl
	My body my temple
	This temple it tells
	"Yes this is the house that Jack built"
	
	The higher you walk 
	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
	I twist away
	Away
	Away
	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 and 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 a curse, just like a 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
	Now tear me open make you gone 
	No more can you hurt anyone, 
	And the fear still shakes 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 (x4)
	
	Don't want it want it want it want it want it no
	So tear me open but beware 
	There's things inside without a care, 
	And the dirt still stains me,
	So wash me till I'm clean.
	
	Now tear me open make you gone 
	No longer will you hurt anyone, 
	And the hate still shapes me, 
	So hold me until it sleeps (x5)

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
	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?
	Where's your crown?
	
	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?
	Where's your crown?
	
	Huh!
	
	(Spoken)
	Wish I may, 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?
	Where's your crown?
	
	Oh, You're just nothing
	Where's your crown King Nothing?
	Oh, you're just nothing
	Absolutely nothing
	Off to never, never land

Hero Of The Day

	
	The window burns to light the way back home
	A light that warms no matter where they go
	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
	And someone there is sighing
	Keepers of the flames
	Do you feel your name?
	Did you hear your babies crying?
	Mama they try and break me
	Still they try and break me
	
	Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
	These things we turn to me that still seem real
	Now deservingly this easy chair
	But the rocking starts the wheels of this play
	
	Don't want your hate 
	But the fist I make 
	For you still no fear
	No not on me
	So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel
	
	But now the dreams end
	And now the dreams end
	They everlast 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 name?
	Did you hear your babies crying?
	
	But now the dreams end
	And now the dreams end
	They everlast the night
	So build a wall 
	Behind it crawl 
	And hide until it's light
	So can't you hear your babies crying now?
	
	Oh they try and break me
	Oh they try and break me
	Oh they try and break me
	Oh they try
	Oh they try
	Oh they try and break me
	Oh they try and break me 
	Oh they try and break me
	Oh they try 
	Oh they try

Wasting My Hate


	Ain't gonna waste my hate
	Ain't gonna waste my hate on you

	And to life that tip that you belong
	Come on
	
	When I see my hate I see my feet
	I feel that blood that pumps in me
	Where the hell's my mind
	Don't know
	Don't know now

Mama Said


	Mama, she has taught me well
	Told me when I was young
	"Son, your life's an open book
	Don't close it 'fore its done"
	"The brightest flame burns quickest"
	That's what I heard her say
	A son's heart sowed to mother
	But I must find my way
	
	Let my heart go
	Let your son grow
	Mama, let my heart go
	Let this heart be still
	Yeah, still
	
	Rebel, mind your last name
	Wild blood in my veins
	They bring strings around my neck
	The mark that still remains
	Left home at an early age
	Of what I heard was wrong
	I never asked forgiveness
	But what is said is done
	
	Let my heart go
	Let your son grow
	Mama, let my heart go
	Let this heart be still
	
	Never I ask of you
	But never I gave
	But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
	Never I ask of you
	But never I gave
	But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
	So let this heart be still
	
	Mama, now I'm coming home
	I'm not all you wished of me
	A mother's love for her son
	Spoken, help me be
	I took your love for granted
	Not a thing you said to me
	I needed your arms to welcome me
	But, a cold stone's all I see
	
	Let my heart go
	Let your son grow
	Mama, let my heart go
	Let this heart be still
	
	Let my heart go
	Mama, let my heart go
	You never let my heart go
	So let this heart be still
	
	Never I ask of you
	But never I gave
	But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
	Never I ask of you
	But never I gave
	But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
	Let this heart be still

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
	So I look down disgraced for saying I know that you must feel
	
	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 with true guilt that's from within
	
	So point your fingers
	Point right at me
	For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see 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 a soul
	
	So point your fingers
	Point right at me
	For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way
	
	I am, I am your secrets
	I am, I am your sin
	I am, I am your guilty
	And I, I am the thorn within
	I am the thorn within

Ronnie


	Stories taught
	Quiet town
	Small time for big time crowd
	Never talks
	Never plays
	Different path
	Lost his way
	
	The streets are red
	Red I'm afraid
	There's no confetti
	No parade
	Nothing happens in this boring place
	But oh my god how it all dismays
	And they all pray
	Blood stain wash away
	
	He said
	"Lost my way
	This bloody day
	Lost my way"
	
	I heard it
	He said
	"Lost my way
	This bloody day
	Lost my way"
	Oh please wash away
	But blood stains the sun red today
	
	I always said
	Something wrong
	Little strange
	All day long
	Never laugh
	Never smile
	Talked alone for miles and miles and miles…
	
	Yellow comes
	Sun I say
	Keep your smile and laugh all day
	He falls again in this foreign place
	For little boys how they do chase
	And they all pray
	Blood stain wash away
	
	He said
	"Lost my way
	This bloody day
	Lost my way"
	
	I heard it
	He said
	"Lost my way
	This bloody day
	Lost my way"
	Oh please wash away
	But blood stains the sun red today
	
	(Spoken)
	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"
	I know why the children called him Ronnie frown
	When he pulled that gun from his pocket
	They all fall down down down…
	
	He said
	"Lost my way
	This bloody day
	Lost my way" 
	
	I heard it
	He screamed
	"Lost my way
	This bloody day 
	Lost my way"
	Oh please wash away
	But blood stains the sun red today
	
	All things wash away
	They all fall down
	But blood stains the sun today
	
	All things wash away
	They all fall down
	But blood stains the sun today

The Outlaw Torn


	You know I wait my whole lifetime for you
	
	I ride the dirt I ride the tide for you
	I search the outside search inside for you
	To take back what you left me
	I know I'll always burn to be
	No one seeks so I may find
	And now I wait my whole lifetime
	My whole lifetime
	
	So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
	So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
	
	The more I search the more my need for you
	The more I blast the more I bleed for you
	You make me smash the clock and feel
	I'd rather die behind the wheel
	Time was never on my side 
	So on I wait my whole lifetime
	My whole lifetime
	
	And I'm torn
	And if I close my mind in fear
	Please pry it open
	And if my face becomes sincere
	Beware
	And when I start to come undone
	Stitch me together
	And when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn
	
	And if I close my mind in fear
	Please pry it open 
	And if my face becomes sincere
	Beware
	And when I start to come undone
	Stitch me together
	And when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn
