Floodgate
Album • 1996
I've been shivering all night long It's a sheer disaster A real bastard It's not even cold Yet I fire it up somehow Just as much as I'll allow Pills accompany the leaf Satisfy the call It keeps me down You keep me down So keep it down Hey Come my way I'll be damned if I'm refused Those ain't the words that win me over in my mind You've got the mystify-fly-by wonder juice I got a ton of curiosity And though it might just kill the cat Satisfaction brings him back Filled above the shotglass line Satisfy the call

Rise to the stars with a scar because I've paid my dues Ain't got too much more to lose I've got a soul to find before my mind can rest yet Fall to my knees and praise the lucky Half-speed and lonely... A shelter for the alone... Wheels riding through my days into my nights, I curl up with no one Feeling sometimes I've been bathed by the razor Lost in a wild touch of illness - cold I fly higher when I'm down Restless are the souls that burn for more Late at night I curl up with no one You're so damn... Believe - tonight you suffer

Just a matter of time before the line that separates the love and rage divides... Heartbroken Giving and then some I've sufferedr You've given none My fingers my calloused hands I've suffered I've given and then some Still I miss you when you're gone It's a cold, black, stolen world My curtains drawn and then tied So gifted Falling behind How can they justify the confliction? My fist is curled and tight... World of subpar Stolen world of knaves Please help before the line divides

Cries of failed allegiance Got no reason to feed them all the noise Riding alone Mistakes never bother you And brother, how it shows I'm reaching out for more Reach for more I feel it burning I'm never full Those days long behind Shattered visions of due supremacy Stepping on our fingers and our toes One is thing is certain No one will ener know... Still I am burning Still 'im not full I've got a little self-generated hunger Send it to my fingers and my voice - a roller I was lost I should have started long ago Hard life Hard like a stone Freezing cold Down to the bone Break from the hold Those days long behind Got the feeling my best are left to gain More dues to pay No trepidation; only focus of liability inside of me My patience wearing thin Cleansed of all sin Or am I causing more?

Till the soil Coming rain quenches thirsty crops again Laying idle keeps you tired since the growing time expired I don't know what's come over me Once I was so scholarly And now I realize my fate Time has come to irrigate Gotta till my soil Fertilize the plains to keep the brains alive Sucker-fools around Counted on by those who clearly keep them on the ground Ground level street-wise pain makes a good man go insane They taught you well by teaching none Now you help their business run with your consumer ignorance Coerner you at no expense I sometimes wonder who's to blame Mighty nation falling lame If you're thirsty for knowledge, then drink of the wine You'll never achieve it if you don't tend the vine A glimmer of sunlight wrestles the clouds Calling the rooted seep up from the ground Driven by will Not by fear Driven by will to keep my planet here Critize me - I'm taking it back I am the millions that pay the tax dollars that keep you fat It's about damn time that we bury your crime Crime-ridden government Can you hear the message sent? The education has begun Billions all becoming one Your faithful flock now bearing teeth Find your wicked beneath the hooves of all you've made recoil Earth is for the ones that till the soil

Bathe in the swill of life Covered by the stench of the trail Bitter is the one who won't feel change Cauterize the wounds that the fathers left behind... Because I cant't believe the words of the chosen doesn't mean I won't be alright Spirits rise and take to flight Galvanize the darkness Upon my soul render completion Whole Render my whole

I'm getting down I'm feelin' good to go another round I've got a fistful of broken promises cast to the wind Will you be yourself again? Another day is gone and if I'd have done it differently And so it goes, falling short of guarantee I sailed across the sea and I saw the world in another light I'm coming back to you Coming back to see you Feel you, touch you, taste you The land is sweet, the offerings are good Take it all; I know I should Shouls I be leaving here? Once again, second guesser fails! The blackness sweeps Over zealot fairs the same Gettin' cold by the hour I was only a child when I first saw their lies Saw them all... They've got the answers to the problems that cannod be solved They make the accusations then commit the very fault I only hope there is a special place for those like you 'Cause if there ain't I'd rather burn in hell alone... Handwriting's on the bathroom wall Headline is screaming, "Stand or Fall!"m beneath the wheels of a motor truck Takin' none from no one Your loving's like a fax machine Sends an image, but it isn't real Blaming others for your bitter pain Tears, they fall like acid rain You'd better watch yourself You're gotta push your luck too far, and I'll be coming down Coming down upon you Ooze from out of nowhere Back to country-somewhere should you go and stay Make it somewhere far away See your wallflowers as you grip the power of your sacred book Take another into your crystal ball Kingdom soon will fall Then you'll want your mother Fuck THAT sit, man!!!

Moaning in a nightmare Pain like a shattered tooth Born of viral tendency, can't hear the storming boom of a fired gun Smack-dab in the middle of shit Bathing in the bowels of hell Slipping in between the sheets with a happy, headed for a rush of orgasmic greed Hardly in control Reeling Hot and cold Viral tendency Infectious memory Falling in a cold mire Living in a world unknown Feral lies pawn the sins of even-trival, pain becomes your home Writhing Soaking head Visions of the dead Try to shake it off Like there waiting for the sun Rabid Running with sodden legs Wild, poisonous suffering Contagion; die alone Lover becomes a bone Realize consciously oncoming insanity Strumped comes again and again Synthetic copulation ends Bringer of a gold mine Bringer of a pile of dung Every mind a bringer of an aberration of someone else's thought Nightmares disappear in the dark by the light of day Spirit of a shallow soul is reconnected with a confused, exhausted shell Reminded of

Here we meet again Tearing at the mind As the reflection tests my pride I've been the guilty, the war bringer, time and again and again Believe me, my son, hell isn't far God praise her Heart gazer Blackout in all the misery Street angel in the sun House demon screams for all my love Countless tears I've cried Yet I seem to keep them all inside Rising up into my eyes, even with the level of the floodgates Bound to love I'll never know or show One too many, one too few God only knows all that 'ive sacrified for you Cursed by living, nursing pain Have mercy on this cross I bear Give all my wages while my baby's left to fend My fingers dig for more to send Then they ever see the light? Twisted visions of what's wrong and what's right I've seen the light It's burning in my head Don't you bother hearing the tongues of evil men Lies abound the carpets of the deep-shag saviors and the gold-lined sphincters of the ones who claim they're saved Something is telling me that the ones they praise they'll never face...

Callig out my name, I heard you speak I should not have been so arrogant Knowing full-well the consequence, I paint you black with sin Tell me that I am the chosen one I want to believe you Pull the knife out of my back as I call you out Black with sin Tattoed before I had a chance to begin defending my case A real low It's what I have to bear Living day to day under the tag of a blasphemer Blasphemer You say I am unholy I just wanna say my say You hold me within your caged heart Torturing Awestricken, you fill my glass again I must see you drink it first If I should go down, I beg you, don't let me drown List of the skies of the damned Keep them under command Hold your head up high Deep in your lies Pain of the weak and the frail fighting tooth and nail Wake up in your jail, watching you and your kind take it out on mine It leaves an aftertaste, bitter like a... Flames Demons burn all the souls that they seem to deem fit All the while they smile Smiling through the teeth of a pig Wretched whore Trying to get some more Get you through the door Fucking all the pigs as your man, sorry man, eulogized by all, takes a final fall Get you through the door Now you're on all fours fucking like a whore Begging for some more Never heard of love? You say we're victims? I don't buy it Excuses all are lies From time to time I lose some power So goes a day in the life The frenetic world of a blasphemer Kill me fast - end the misery I dare you to let me go Hands red with my own blood, I paint you black with sin
