She's Through
I had a feelin
Didn't wanna see what was right in my face
But I knew
Baby I knew you was through
The way you put me out was cold
Said to get all my shit and go
And wasn't nothin I could do
My baby was through
Can't say I blame her
All the game I ran, I was a bad man
All the times I made her blue
Now she's finally through
I could cry a river feelin sorry for myself
I had a piece of Heaven, now I got all of Hell
Can't blame no one but me, tell the truth
A woman can only take so much, and once she's...
Didn't wanna see what was right in my face

All the game I ran, I was a bad man
All the times I made her blue
Now she's finally through
I could cry a river feelin sorry for myself
I had a piece of Heaven, now I got all of Hell

Inherent
Anger fills the night with violence
Tortured souls cry out for blood
A whisper of death floats on the breeze
Bad things are all there is to come
Dark are the hearts of men
For only evil comes from them
No one escapes their raging fire
Their seething hatred consumes all things
Pleas for mercy go unheeded
They give in to brutality
Cold they are in the depths of their souls
While their pain blazes a hellish inferno
That pain we all feel just as much
For again and again they unleash it upon us
And we're...
Tortured souls cry out for blood

Strange
I never knew I was strange
I thought everybody was this way
You don't hide from everyone you see?
Oh, I guess that's just me
I just don't want them to see me
Please stay away from me
Don't come anywhere near me
I never knew I was strange
I thought we were all the same
But you don't run the other way
When somebody calls your name
I just have to get away
Please just keep away
I never wanted to be this way
I never wanted to be strange
I never wanted to be strange
Don't know...

I Want to Go
Everything's fine when you're out of your mind
It's sunshine and kittens and unicorn insides
When you're out of your mind
When you're out of your mind
Life is good when you're out of your head
You always have plenty of enemies and friends
The voices are always on your side
When you're out of your mind
When you're out of your mind
There's nothing to fear when you're out of your mind
You won't have a care when you're out of your mind
You'll see the world in a whole new light
When you're out of your mind
When you're out...
It's sunshine and kittens and unicorn insides
When you're out of your mind
When you're out of your mind
Life is good when you're out of your head
You always have plenty of enemies and friends
The voices are always on your side
When you're out of your mind
When you're out of your mind
There's nothing to fear when you're out of your mind
You won't have a care when you're out of your mind
You'll see the world in a whole new light
When you're out of your mind
When you're out...

Rocks
Another one to the pile
But I'm still carrying the last
I think I can make it but my strength's fading fast
Can I set it down for just a second?
I could really use a rest
But you add another to my load
And miles to my road
And I can't remember which way to go
But I carry this pile
And walk blindly on
On and on till the mile's are gone
And maybe my burden will finally lighten
Maybe I'll be able to put down these rocks
But I'm still carrying the last
I think I can make it but my strength's fading fast
Can I set it down for just a second?
I could really use a rest
But you add another to my load
And miles to my road
And I can't remember which way to go
But I carry this pile
And walk blindly on
On and on till the mile's are gone
And maybe my burden will finally lighten
Maybe I'll be able to put down these rocks

My Dreams
My dreams, my dreams
Are made of laughter, made of screams
And my dreams, my dreams
Haunt me long after I'm no longer asleep
I lie awake till the break of day
I don't want to dream my dreams
My dreams, my dreams
They always try to kill me
Because my dreams, my dreams
Are as cruel as they are sweet
I keep my eyes open as long as I can
But I know my dreams will get me in the end
My dreams, my dreams
Are not what I always thought them to be
They're my dreams, my dreams
But they seem to...
Are made of laughter, made of screams
And my dreams, my dreams
Haunt me long after I'm no longer asleep
I lie awake till the break of day
I don't want to dream my dreams
My dreams, my dreams
They always try to kill me
Because my dreams, my dreams
Are as cruel as they are sweet
I keep my eyes open as long as I can
But I know my dreams will get me in the end
My dreams, my dreams
Are not what I always thought them to be
They're my dreams, my dreams
But they seem to...

Earthbound
I never did fly
I thought I had wings, but they were a lie
I was never meant to leave the ground
Ever doomed to be earthbound
I wish I could fly
If I could take off just one time...
I promise it'd be enough
I'd never ask again
I watch others fly
They lift their wings and take to the sky
But not me, I must be too heavy
I'm stuck down here wishing I was like them
But I'll never fly
That's not my life
I'll just haunt the uncaring ground
Ever earthbound
I thought I had wings, but they were a lie

I watch others fly
They lift their wings and take to the sky
But not me, I must be too heavy
I'm stuck down here wishing I was like them
But I'll never fly
That's not my life
I'll just haunt the uncaring ground
Ever earthbound

Whispers in the Dark
Whispers in the dark
Secrets between two hearts
Behind closed doors their love wages like war
Till their worlds are torn apart
Anger in their souls
Empty and unwhole
Trying to fill the space with any friendly face
Their love gone dead and cold
What they once had is gone
What they do now is wrong
But the pain they have inside is more than they can hide
Afraid to just move on
Whispers in the dark always cut deep and sharp
And they always leave a scar
Secrets between two hearts
Behind closed doors their love wages like war
Till their worlds are torn apart
Anger in their souls
Empty and unwhole
Trying to fill the space with any friendly face
Their love gone dead and cold
What they once had is gone
What they do now is wrong
But the pain they have inside is more than they can hide
Afraid to just move on
Whispers in the dark always cut deep and sharp
And they always leave a scar

f**ked Up
It was a beautiful day when I found out I'm not sane
The sun shone brightly outside and the dark raged within my brain
And it was okay, knowing I'm completely fucked up
It was a sad day, I smiled
The madness inside went wild
And killed my joy again, and fucked me all up
It's every day I see that something,s not right with me
The thoughts I think and the dreams I dream are only normal to people like me
And I'm alone in it, but I'm okay, just a bit fucked up
The sun shone brightly outside and the dark raged within my brain
And it was okay, knowing I'm completely fucked up
It was a sad day, I smiled
The madness inside went wild
And killed my joy again, and fucked me all up
It's every day I see that something,s not right with me
The thoughts I think and the dreams I dream are only normal to people like me
And I'm alone in it, but I'm okay, just a bit fucked up

I don't know what you do to me
But when I see you my heart skips a beat
I'm so blown away by you
I wanna be wherever you are
Wherever you go, take me with you
When I hear your voice I feel so high
I can lose myself forever in your eyes
I don't know what it is, there's just something about you
I'd follow you to hell and back
Wherever you go, take me with you
You're always on my mind
When I wake up in the morning, when I go to bed at night
There's no one else I can see
You've become my everything
...

Wash Me
I think maybe I'm a little looney
I don't know... I don't know...
I don't know why I'm this way
So maybe... I've gone a little insane
I don't know... I don't know...
I don't know who that is I see
In my mirror starin at me
Maybe I'm a little crazy
Maybe I've gone a little insane
I don't know... I don't know... I don't know...
I don't know who I am
Or how to be me again
Wash me away, I've gone crazy
Wash me away, I'm insane
Wash me away, I'm hopeless
Just wash me clean of this...
I don't know... I don't know...
I don't know why I'm this way
So maybe... I've gone a little insane
I don't know... I don't know...
I don't know who that is I see
In my mirror starin at me
Maybe I'm a little crazy
Maybe I've gone a little insane
I don't know... I don't know... I don't know...
I don't know who I am
Or how to be me again
Wash me away, I've gone crazy
Wash me away, I'm insane
Wash me away, I'm hopeless
Just wash me clean of this...

I don't know what it is that you do when you do what you do to me
Can't get you out of my head, sometimes it drives me crazy
What did you do to me?
I don't know why you're always on my mind, no matter what I do
Trying to fight it is useless, there's just no forgetting you
When you're not a part of it my day feels so empty
When you're not around I miss you like crazy
And I can't even tell you, can't tell you what you do to me
I play it off, "we're just friends," what else can I do?
I'd rather suffer than completely lose you
