Oh, what can I do?
Been stuck,
Inside of you.
Pray for me. Pray for us.
Pray for me. Pray for us.
Pray for me.
(All I do is, All I do is, All I do is
break up, make up.)
Pray for us
(All I do is, All I do is, All I do is)
Pray for me.
(Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray)
Pray for us.
(on and on and on,
it goes on and on and on.)

Horror

Monster's coming out tonight,
Are you scared?
Unless you wanna die tonight,
You better run, run, run-run,
Run away.
Until you're safe,
You think you're safe now?
Til' you hear that knock on the door. x6
(bridge)
You're marked for death,
You better watch your step.
Listen, and you'll learn.
You're gonna feel your skin
melt slowly as you burn.
When those knocks turn to banging,
You better hide!
No need to look
It's already inside!
You all die, all die tonight. x4

Excuses
00:35

Ego has sapped me, sent me.
Dipped downwind to sin,
and I've been,
til' I'm empty.
In these frantic automatics,
endless, mendless, bureaucratic.
Always when I've lost my nerve,
I can and can't collect the tithe,
The time is swelling up.
My age, the cage is wack, disturbed
and reckless.
Rebelling young are sadly steered astray.
To be, you gotta cough the quarters up you say.
You haven't had a good day in a while.
Put you in my tray away
from distant thoughts of yours.
Sure you wish like me,
"Holy will the land be young."
And son,
You may be onto something.

Don't know,
Don't go.
Not ready.
Live long.
I don't know where and when I am,
Where I stand.
Til if and in I know I,
Til if and in I know a way out.
Sun down.
Hard times.
Sunshine.
All right. Alright.
Every time
I find out.
I found out.
Alright. x4
Soon. Soon.

Arms

Arms. Arms.
All I do is what I'm told
And still, I know, I'm growing old
to die, to die.
Make my way back to your arms,
I'll take the risk until I'm scarred.
I'm scarred, scarred.
I'll buy you something, that I can't afford. 'ford.
All I know is still I know I don't know.
That I don't know.
(breakdown)
All I know is what I'm told
Forsake myself, I write myself off. off
All I know is still I don't know why.
Don't know why.
Don't know why.
Don't know why.

Shame
00:51
|
|||
|
I know it's not fine,
Cause the time is made to ruin me.
(gonna run away)
Feel the skin shed,
Feed your head.
(gonna make a break for it)
Fools are dubious.
True this body's limited,
(gonna run away)
but still, instead, you must begin
To open up your eyes,
(til I make a break for it)
Inside your mind that you must find, that you must-
If you said,
(gonna run away,
gonna make a break for it)
"You give 100%"
(til I make a break for it)
You always say
(til I make a break for it)
Exactly the same thing.
Ain't it a damn shame.

On Your Own
01:59

It's okay, It's okay, It's okay, It's okay.
I tell my, I tell ya.
It's okay, It's okay, It's okay,
(if I found the words, to tell ya)
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright.
(I'd tell ya)
How are ya?
(I'd tell ya)
I'm alright. How are ya?
I know what you are thinking, and
It's not true, it's not true.
(If I had the right, If I had the right)
You think that it is not sinking in?
But that's not true.
(I'd tell ya, I'd tell ya, I'd tell ya)
Words don't need telling.
Consider like a sinner, beginner,
Like cold relatives do.
Rattle time blind to send signs,
I can't find the rhyme.
I'm rippin' and flippin' so tough,
to living so soft.
I'm so, bendin' and benchin' the enemy,
now that I'm getting it off.
Tensions are rising,
Colliding coincidence, finding
No excuse what's the use of the fighting.
No matter the splatter,
The all that we're after,
The all that we can't see.
The matter is mounting, it's in our anatomy.
Whether we'll miss this bliss.
Hubris will be the end of us.

Skid
02:29
|

|
It's a delicate thing.
Winding inside this dream.
Saw a man lose himself in a skid.
He was half-awake,
Steering blind to unwind.
That's just where he'd been.
Cancer is what came, when it
Gripped and tripped him
down to the ground.
Oh, what an awful sound.
Take it in, breathe it in.
Cough out poison clouds,
Proud to be more than him.
(It's a delicate thing)
Take it in. Breathe it in.
Cough out poison clouds,
Proud to be more than him.

Blood

One more lesson, one more mistake.
One more situation, one more I can't embrace.
Seems uncertain, uncertainly so.
Memories. Run like, Blood
Coming from my, from my knees.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Just give me one more, I can take.
I have this feeling, I just can't shake.

All I Know

The way I see it,
I'm makin my way around
All I know
That I know is
All I know is
All I know is
All I know is
