All In
Hey, where you drivin’. What’s your plan.
Will you circle round again, try an understand.
Catch a toxic glimpse, a decent chew on fear.
When all the while the maniac’s in rear view mirror.
Yeah, now you see it, ‘first chance,’ and time is up.
So, what yawl binge thinkin’,
fill yer vein-junk cup?
Yeah,
you’re freakin’ tweekin’ now,
you’re all in what to do.
It’s the ‘law, drugs, and money,’
ease on back and think this through.
‘And through!’
You owe, whoa, owe, bad blood
who live to feud,
for tastin’ bove...

Over the Hills
Here’s forty shillings for your tongue
Oh, won’t you volunteer to come?
To list and fight the foe today
Over the hills and far away
O’er the hills and o’er the main
We’ll seek the false and bring it pain
The king commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
My duty is to truth today
I’ll work and fight without me pay
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
O’er the hills and o’er the main
We’ll seek the false and bring it pain
The king commands and we obey
Over the hills and...

Scars
Scars
The scars of Satan
Can only be seen when I’m naked
The blood in my eyes tells me I’m jaded
I desecrate those who I come into
Jesus what’s your latest sin now
Who’d you sacrifice to be your disciple
Wings of Icarus here comes your son now
Now I step into my clothes again
They hide the sins I want to hide from you
The scars of Satan
Can only be used when I’m naked
The blood in my eyes tells me I’m faded
I desecrate those who I come into
Jesus what’s your...

I love your plastic halo (lyrics)
verse]
You know I'm a sucker for pain
you make it feel so heavenly
got me wrapped around your plastic halo
love drunk on
everything you say
even when I know you're lying
but I keep coming back for more
[Bridge]
Build me up
just to knock me down
break me just to take me
all my resolve is
a house of cards
and you're the dealer
you're the dealer
(of everything I need)
[Chorus]
I'm just a pretty little addict
another silly little addict
stick around so I can take ...
You know I'm a sucker for pain
you make it feel so heavenly
got me wrapped around your plastic halo
love drunk on
everything you say
even when I know you're lying
but I keep coming back for more
[Bridge]
Build me up
just to knock me down
break me just to take me
all my resolve is
a house of cards
and you're the dealer
you're the dealer
(of everything I need)

I'm just a pretty little addict
another silly little addict

The Missing Game (lyrics)
verse]
You're chasing ghosts
in this missing game
don't look down
no, don't look down
stay a while and maybe we'll forget
all these things we've learned to hate
before I leave you standing
at the edge of lonely
[Verse 2]
I don't miss you like a lover should
I'm done making love to ghosts
under these bruised skies
that spell out our names
in a broken you me tragedy
[Chorus]
We hold on
when we should let go
I'm lost without you
in this missing game
missing game
I hold...
You're chasing ghosts
in this missing game
don't look down
no, don't look down
stay a while and maybe we'll forget
all these things we've learned to hate
before I leave you standing
at the edge of lonely
[Verse 2]
I don't miss you like a lover should
I'm done making love to ghosts
under these bruised skies
that spell out our names
in a broken you me tragedy
[Chorus]
We hold on
when we should let go
I'm lost without you
in this missing game
missing game
I hold...

Tattered Corners
I've got a picture of a girl I missed
It's from that time when we first kissed
It was like a dream, yet like sunrise
Our goodnights, our goodbyes
All part of our demise
I lost the letter that she once wrote
I used to carry it around for hope
It asked me if I wanted a lunch date
Our goodbyes, our fate
Too little, too late
Here comes another cliché, pho-
-tograph, memory of times long passed
Edges torn and tattered corners
All battered by ti-i-ime
I've got a Polaroid of our prom
That time I thought you...

Love blindly
INSIDE ROARE
Love blindly
When the shadows are creeping behind you, it's further away.
When you come closer, it's lost .... suddenly.
I miss the gentle touches of your fingers, how could I lie.
Suddenly, the presence of the two of us.
It's sweet, bitter and burning at the same time.
You hide a mysterious soul,
I don't want to be the other,
You just add fuel to the fire.
uuuu uuuu uuuu
What does your heart look like, does it hide a piece of space.
Where to hide the gem that I press in the palm of my hand. ...

Hand Of Sorrow
Verse 1]
Regression to submission
Reversion to illusion
I am lost in this confusion
No stranger to exclusion
Suffer agony infusion
The end of me in view
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Misery weaved into me
Curse of mind for all to see
[Chorus 1]
Hand of sorrow, reach in me
Grasp my heart, set me free
Pull it out with no remorse
Broken by unnatural force
Shatter what's whole
Rip out the soul
[Verse 2]
Aggression to confession
Drown in my obsession
Cannot kill my burden
Inner wounds not...

Rebel Venom
Yeah, yeah, mmm, yeah
This rebel don’t believe in self pity
Don’t need your money
I’m an independence junkie
Shootin for the stars
I’m goin farther
Than I ever dreamed possible
Watch this hustle
Baby, it’s a jungle
Out there
Out there
(out there)
This rebel
Got her mental
Laced with venom
Paralyze my prey
Take your defenses away
Have my way
(with you)
It’s rebel venom day
You thought I couldn’t see your ways
You slay hearts every day ...

Good Night
Amy's waking up to a half-empty bed
Looks around for her other half
It's me, I'm by the window, looking out at the rain
Another winter's come to freeze the dark
She says she's ok
I wish I knew the truth
She shivers and stutters over the cold
I guess we were children in ice
She wraps her arms around me like a blanket all tight and warm
Says "I'm sorry..."
What for?
"I'm sorry I'm leaving"
Why?
"Because you deserve better and I'm freezing"
Amy's the chill in the air that shivers on my...

You Know What You Done
Verse 1)
The doctor gave me bad news, Lord, my time ain’t long.
But I stood tall in the shadow, tried to stay strong.
When I needed you the most, girl, you turned and ran.
Left me fightin' this demon with my bare hands.
(Chorus)
You know what you done, and it won’t wash clean.
A soul like yours, girl, it’s downright mean.
Left a dying man to battle alone,
May the devil take you down to his throne.
(Verse 2)
We had love like fire, so I thought it seemed.
But fire burns cold when the truth intervenes.
