Lady 04:23
i locked eyes with you and i meant every second every second that i made you shiver i made you uncomfortable when i looked at you cause i need you need you love i need you lady need you, love you have enslaved me i never had you but once but you'll always make me come back i'm tired of you dragging my heart down you make me hurt in and out i need you lady need you, love twelve billion eyes upon this world but two have made me come back many thoughts of leaving my life here undone but now here i need more of you more of you more you i need you lady need you, love

stop thinking put your head on the shelf and stop breathing unhook your lungs and feel nothing trade your nerves for wire and now you're so damn tired of it all but you got your hands tied in and you wanted out for so long but you got monthly payments shake the earth from your feet show the world you're a diamond wrapped in energy and plug your head to the wall and light the world as you see fit and now you're so damn tired of it all but you got your hands tied in and you wanted out for so long but you got monthly payments come on back to me, come on back to me you gave me life, you gave me life

Came Around 05:16
hands like these hands laid across her strings and on mine now her eyes said, come on, come on Bbut my eyes did runaway trapped in a shell of a dead lovers body i tried to get out, but there was no love left for me she fed me love like a child and i held it down for a while but when my belly got too full i spat it all back out and as i run you over you gonna cut my brake line and i'll drive down into my darkest decline and every drug that i intake will only mask this heartache and the pictures of you. well i'll cry myself awake when you first came i thought we could spend some time together when you first came around when you first came i was trapped like my brother and i couldn't get out when you first came i want a love like i never had i want a love like you never had i want a love like no one's ever seen before

Blue Lips 02:50
don't care what the paper says there's a war going on in my house mine fields on the bedroom floor watch your step, watch your step or be gone suicide mission when i pull her in she shoots me down with a grin barbed wire strewn across the kingsize bed watch your hands it's a mess she don't feel the same as she used to don't feel the same as she once did she's kissing me with blue lips she's touching me with dead hands don't care what the marshall said there's a fire going on in my house smoke pillows out the bedroom door best stay low, best stay low or lose air flames grow higher when she turns her back she smokes my soul just like crack llghts me up like a cigarette then puts me out when she ain't wet she don't feel the same as she used to don't feel the same as she once did she's kissing me with blue lips she's touching me with dead hands she don't feel the same as she used to don't feel the same as she once did she's kissing me with blue lips she's touching me with dead hands

The Waiting 03:32
ten years of incisions dissecting all of my ambitions surgeon friend nips and tucks me shapes me in to a model of her i've never had a love like this a love that never holds a kiss i've never had, i've never had a love like this ten years of treading water while holding on to a led filled life coat safety with groups and numbers is how i fell in the pocket of you i've never had a love like this a love that never holds a kiss i've never had, i've never had a love like this this book holds no climax ten years of reading i'm a gullible fool i've never had a love like this a love that never holds a kiss i've never had, i've never had a love like this i've never had a love like this a love that never should exist i've never had, i've never had a love like this

Exhale 03:10
breathe and blow me out you don't need me now you don't need me anymore see the beauty you possess unclothe that dirty dress and wash me out for i'm just hoping that someday you walk alone and drop that broken hand that you always thought of stone just break that jar that keeps your strength all stored away and go on and leave me it was yesterday that you thought i was your daddy you thought i could take you home, keep you safe and warm but now you know that i'm no more than nothing oh you thought i could take you home and keep you safe and warm but now you know that i am no more than nothing for i'm just hoping that someday you walk alone and drop that broken hand that you always thought of stone just break that jar that keeps your strength all stored away and go on and leave me

touched your face with a real warm hand felt like you could make ice on command wore your wedding suit with a mahogany tie friends gathered round for their bathroom goodbyes soil not fire was the doctors call how well could she have known you now she withholds it all but she stood so tall and her presence loud to stand beside her would make your daddy proud. come back, starlit eyes, you led us our coal miner's guide with your head lights, torch to one side you led us, our coal miner's guide. our coal miner's guide pappa bear can't hold down his porridge big brother bears got his life in storage. mamma sees the world through a crucifix, but a bottle of wine beats the bible is tricks. come back, starlit eyes, you led us our coal miner's guide with your head lights, torch to one side you led us, our coal miner's guide. our coal miner's guide. little brother bears got his life laid out for him from the work that you did before you cashed it all in. but running away is his first reaction, best trade those keds for some thick leather skin cause babies in bed staring right up at him families drowning in a pool of vodka and gin come back, starlit eyes, you led us our coal miner's guide with your head lights, torch to one side you led us, our coal miner's guide. our coal miner's guide. you gave me something to hold on to our coal miner's guide our coal miner's guide our coal miner's guide our coal miner's guide

never opening your eyes to all your options in the world you think it's a big surprise that you can't hold on to a girl taking pictures of yourself walking yourself round the bend dreaming up a masterpiece while the clay lay drying in your hand now you know just how it is to feel alone you never had to sweat you always were the first to leave no more questions please times ignoring my request to stop and in the end you still may not know find yourself to believe in you're real enough now you know just how it is to feel alone you never had to sweat you always were the first to leave

Synthestate 04:18
don't be afraid of alligators and all the reptiles of mother nature for they don't have control, past the lakes that they swim we can walk right through every booby trap and they can pelt us with every law they pass, but they can not tax this state that we're in. it's nothing short of what jean paul said, freedom's in every prisoners head know there are no chains for a conscious brain benjamin eyes take cover with another for the peasants and serfs know what it is that there worth now all of your creations denied tear down the ladders and the silicon brushes, put things back please the way they once were no more building of a synthestate. let's know the truth now our nations health takes a back seat to our leaders wealth now they're in disguise as family guys who were raised upon the southern side, where the crops of youth gave them an easy ride now they're in control of every boy and girl so stay with the program, but leave the station, your shows not funny anymore your oil lights on and your wheels turn in circles but don't touch the ground. benjamin eyes take cover with another for the peasants and serfs know what it is that there worth now all of your creations denied tear down the ladders and the silicon brushes, put things back please the way they once were no more building of a synthestate. synthestate
