Control

I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
Well I'm alone inside my mind
I like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
But then your secrets never show


I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's there even you and me

I like the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cuz I'm that guy you'll never find
I think you know all of the rules
there's no expressions on your face
I hope that someday you will let me go
release me from my dirty cage

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's there even you and me

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's there even you and me

You and me
You're not the one for me, no

Drift & Die

Forgotten thoughts of yesterdaze
Through my eyes I see the past
I don't know I don't know I don't know why
I believe I believe in the truth from inside
Go away go away go away from me
Leave me alone

Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well, I'll take my time
As I drift and die
As I drift and die

Unwanted, live my life in shame
Who's to blame for my mistakes
I don't know I don't know I don't know why
I believe I believe in the truth from inside
Go away go away go away from me
And leave me alone

Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well, I'll take my time

As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die

Forgotten, unwanted, ignorant

Out Of My Head

What is wrong with all my friends
I know that I am unlike them
Just another situation
Don’t hold me back
I don’t look up to them

They always act so dirty
They keep there selves so clean
Why can't they find the answers
To the questions that are right in front of me

I'm so high, I'm never low
I hold the sky, and I'm never letting go
You filled my cup I'm good to go
So shake me up I'm ready to roll
Go, never letting go

No one's ever listening
The lines are crossed somewhere between
My head is spinning like a top
I don't know when this shit is going to stop
They always act so dirty
They keep their selves real
Why can't they find the answers to
The questions that are right in front of me

I'm so high I'm never low
I hold the sky and I'm never letting go
You filled my cup I'm good to go
So shake me up
I'm ready to roll

Nobody Told Me

Looking back at my childhood
Wasn't too bad but it wasn't that great
I carry the luggage like a bag of bricks
Feels like it's holding me down again

Staring down a pitch black road
Painted lines show me the direction
The sun is burning on my face
The sun is setting me on fire

Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me when to run

I can't find my way back home
Lost my head down there some where
Could we just be gone alone
Lived in doubt and fear I’ve shown

Gazing down a long grey road
I see the stop sign way up ahead
Sun is burning on my face
The sun is setting me on fire

Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me when to run
Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me, nobody told me

Same old shit, different day
Gotta get up, gotta get up

Same old shit, different day
Gotta get up, gotta get up

Same old shit, different day
Gotta get up, gotta get up

Same old shit, different day
Gotta get up, gotta get up

Same old shit, different day
Gotta get up, gotta get up

I can’t find my way back home
Lost my head down there some where
Could we just be gone alone
Lived in doubt and fear I’ve shown

Gazing down a long grey road
I see the stop sign way up ahead
Sun is burning on my face
The sun is setting me on fire

Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me when to run

Blurry

Everything’s so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody’s empty
And everything is so messed up

Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my sea
You know that I’ll protect you
From all of the obscene

I wonder what you're doing
Imagine where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face
Explain again to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face

Everyone is changing
There’s no one left that’s real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel

Cuz I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my sea
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean

I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There’s oceans in between us
But that’s not very far

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face
Explain again to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face

Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you where to run away

Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you where to run away

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away When ya shoved it in my face Explain again to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face

Explain again to me

You take it all
You take it all away
Explain again to me

You take it all away
Explain again to me

Take it all away
Explain again

She Hates Me

I met a girl
Thought she was grand
Fell in love
Found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it came all unglued

In a trap, a trip I can't grip
Never thought I would be the one to slip
Then I started to realize
I was livin' one big lie

She fuckin' hates me
Trust
She fuckin' hates me
Love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

She was a queen for about an hour
After that, shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling bad

In a trap, a trip I can't grip
Never thought I would be the one to slip
Then I started to realize
I was livin' one big lie

She fuckin' hates me
Trust
She fuckin' hates me
Love
She fuckin' hates me
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

That's my story
As you see
Learned my lesson and so did she
Now it's over and I'm glad
Cuz I'm a fool
For all I said

She fuckin' hates me
Trust
She fuckin' hates me
Love
She fuckin' hates me
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

Love

Trust
Trust
Trust
Trust

She tore my feelings like I had none
Love
Trust
She fuckin' hates me

Bring Me Down

Make no promises to me
You slowly melting
Wake up then fall back asleep
You're quickly fading

Hey man you’ll have to wait your turn
I can see that you're jonesin'
Taste no flavors on my tongue
They’ve evaporated, you’ve disintegrated

Why you gotta bring me down
Why you gotta bring me
Bring me down

Karma comes around two times
So you better be good
Watch out for all familiar signs
When you're going the wrong way
Look backs in to those devious minds
They keep pushing and pulling
Baby Jesus never sleeps
When you're being a sinner
Yeah he’ll eat you for dinner

Why you gotta bring me down

Make no promises to me
You slowly melting
Baby Jesus never sleeps
When you're being a sinner

Hey man you’ll have to wait your turn
I can see that you're jonesin'
Taste no flavors on my tongue
They’ve evaporated, you’ve disintegrated

Why you gotta bring me down

So don’t bring me down

Never Change

Someone's always tellin' me I'm no good
Well I don't care what you say
Someone's always givin' me a hard time
Well I live day to day
Someone's always putting me in my place
Like I don't know where I am
So I'll just sit here in the corner
Without any direction

Maybe it's, it's all in my head
I think that it's something, something you said
I understand that some things will
Never change, never change

Someone's always kickin' me to the curb
Well it's grindin' up my face
Someone's always pushing me to the side
Like I'm standing in the way
Someone's always getting up in my face
Like I don't know who I am
So once again I'm in the corner
Without any direction

Maybe it's, it's all in my head
I think that it's something, something you said
I understand that some things will
Never change, never change

Somebody's always out to get me
Somebody's always tryin' to kill me
Understand some things will never change
Why did you have to go and change
Couldn't you just have stayed the same
Why did you have to go insane

Maybe it's, it's all in my head
I think that it's something, something you said
I understand that some things will
Never change, never change

Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
Understand some things will never change
Why did you have to go and change
Couldn't you just have stayed the same
Why did you have to go insane
Understand some things don't change

Why did you have to go and change
Couldn't you just have stayed the same
Why did you have to go insane
Understand some things don't change

Never change
Some things never change
Some things never change

Basement

Yeah
Locked in the basement
I'm so paranoid
I'm all encased in and I can’t escape
And when I look up, mother's looking down
And when I wake up, mother's not around

If you want you can have
Everything that I’ve got
If you want
You can take it all away from me
Away from me
Away from me

Nobody's perfect, but you just can’t see
My life's a circus that you don’t believe
You're sayin’ something but not coming clean
And when I look up, mother's livin', she’s livin' in a dream

If you want you can have
Everything that I’ve got
If you want
You can take it all away from me
Away from me
Away from me

If you're unsatisfied, well I’ll watch you wave goodbye
Cuz if you want, you can take it all away from me

Please don’t come down and see me this way
Please don’t come down I’m too afraid
Please don’t come down and see me this way
Please don’t come down well I’m too afraid

If you want you can have
Everything that I’ve got
If you want
You can take it all away from me
Away from me
Away from me

If you want you can have
Everything that I’ve got
If you want
You can take it all away from me
Away from me
Away from me

Cuz if you're unsatisfied, well I’ll watch you wave goodbye
Cuz if you want, you can take it all away from me

Said

Emotionless I slip into the black
And there's no turning back now
Everyone around me's smoking crack
This tunnel is blinding
Hallucinating I'm debating life
But it’s still moving forward
If I could just change the hands of time

I'd do it better

Just walk away
Just walk away

Fearless I have fell in to a trap
And there's no way around it
Everyone is crying in the back
My kin they surround me
Hesitating there's no second chance
When you know your a loser
Keep on trying keep an open mind

I’m caught in a circle

Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

Emotionless I slip into the crack
Fearless I have fell into the trap
Hallucinating there's no turning back
Everyone around me smoking crack

Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

If you even heard a thing I've said

Piss It All Away

What I feel it is real
What I do, it's the truth
When I drink I can't think
When I use I need more
When you’re weak I can't speak
Close your eyes and taste this wine
The cork removed less purified

I throw away everything that you say
Erase everything that you think

What I feel it's a sin
Tell the truth, do not lie
Make a wish, won't come true
One way streets one track mind
Open up and see the light
One million ways to hypnotize
I throw away everything that you say
Erase everything that you think
Erase everything that you think

Piss it, piss it all away
Piss it, piss it all away
Piss it, piss it all away
Piss it, piss it all away
Piss it, piss it all away
Piss it, piss it all away
Piss it, piss it all away

You throw it all away throw it all away
Why'd you run away
Why'd you go run away

Piss it and throw it all away
Throw it all away
You throw it all away
