Once round outside and check the door Only thing he came here lookin' for One man wasting another man One hand washes the other hand Born traitor, soul fader Stoplight flashes in the street Injected concrete hide bloody feet Armed and shining in his hands Cold metallic green, he don't give a damn Born traitor, soul fader Down come the hammer, fall my god, you say Once again the big dog has his day One man wasting another man One hand washes the other hand Born traitor, soul fader One man wasting another man Born traitor One hand washes the other hand Born traitor One man wasting another man Born traitor One hand washes the other hand Soul fader

Though you're always on my mind Found a sickness that was mine Chose a life out on the run All alone inside this game Until I'm done Sometimes I don't think I can trust myself no more Seems I've failed you all my life Youthful dreams you'd be my wife Before I fall into the sun If there never is again You were the one Sometimes I don't think I can trust myself no more So I don't feel that I can love you anymore On this settling down Oh I better lay down and rest awhile On this settling down Oh I better lay down and rest awhile Sometimes I don't think I can trust myself no more And I don't know if I can love you anymore On this settling down Oh I better lay down and rest awhile On this settling down Oh I better lay down and rest awhile And I say no

Through windows by my bed Miles away I rest my weary head Next to you No coldness in my eye Cut the skin and take my sorry hide Cover you Make love with you It bleeds upon my back Strapped with silver tacks Wish I'd loved you more And never shut that door The waves that run the shore Wash away the stones of pain we bore I tortured you I tried to drown my hate Underneath an ocean I still wait Remembering you, always true It bleeds upon my back Strapped with silver tacks Wish I'd loved you more And never shut that door Restitution day All I have I give away To be with you If it breaks my back Through windows by my bed Miles away I rest my weary head Next to you Coldness in my eye Cut the skin and take my sorry hide Cover you Make love with you It bleeds upon my back Strapped with silver tacks Wish I'd loved you more And never shut that door Restitution day All I have I give away To be with you If it breaks my back

If you ever torch your bridges If you're ever past the starlight If you're ever unassured Forever you will burn As you sleep unearthly grace Lay Jesus hands upon your face To this sea you've been shot down Now find the shore, it can be found Can be found Can be found If you ever crack your small mind If you're ever much disturbed If you ever reach the shore Forever be your turn As you sleep unearthly grace Lay Jesus hands upon your face To this sea you've been shot down Now find the shore, it can be found Can be found Can be found

Clear on the road tonight Headlamps shine on the one-way signs I try to clear my head Of thoughts better left unsaid Runnin' down an old elusive high One more time The wind upon my face No one here for to block my way I wake the setting sun Bullet shot by a thoughtful gun Runnin' down an old elusive high Did I lose you Oh friend of mine Is it in your hardened heart to Trust me one more time See, I'm tryin' to shake that same Devil from my side Always watchin' me, yeah Laughing while I cry While I cry Gunnin' down an old elusive high One more time Clear on the road tonight Headlamps shine on the mileage signs Not much further to go I laugh and I'm almost home Gunnin' down an old elusive high Did I lose you Oh friend of mine Is it in your hardened heart to Trust me one more time See, I'm tryin' to shake that old Devil from my side Always taunting me, yeah Laughing while I cry While I cry Runnin' down an old elusive high One more time One more time

Haven't seen her, she hit the wall last night Bumped his head low, a cause-effected fight She says she ain't gonna take it no more (golden ring around her finger) But she won't ever set him free (golden ring around his finger) Come to find out, she'd been with someone else So it's a bitch now, he sees it in himself Long before we, teachers of our game On a bent lord, it tends to get insane She says she ain't gonna take it no more (golden ring around her finger) But she's not gonna set him free He keeps the light on, prepare for war Severed past gone, it's all the same today Cannibalistic, eating themselves away She says she ain't gonna take it no more (golden ring around her finger) But she's not gonna set him free 'Cause he keeps the light on, prepare for war He keeps the light on, prepare for war (golden ring around her finger) He keeps the light on, prepare for war (golden ring around his finger) Fill me Kill me

I would like to know How you cage a bird aflight Feathers bright To show your might Are you such a stone Smile greasy, you pick my bones Crawl inside Have you no life Hard times on the refugee Keep a sidesteppin' over me Not sure but you think you might Can you see when there is no light Tell me once again That you'd like to be my friend While we run A race of one Do you feel the same My head hung high in shame You install A trophy wall Hard times on the refugee Keep a sidesteppin' over me Not sure but you think you might Can you see when there is no light Please me Satisfy One request Choose to live...

Goin' to California, try and find my head Gonna swim in the ocean until I'm dead Let the infection spread On my way to Texas, drive upon my ranch Gonna take you fishin' up Big Branch Well, now you're my catch Somewhere in between the wrong and right We fight It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong, And in my mind that's alright Somewhere in between the wrong and right We fight It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong, And in my mind that's alright Off in New York City, good to see some friends Scratched my nose upon a barette on her head Laid up in a rental bed Then back home to Seattle, fed the monkey man I proceed to throw up all over my hand Well, it ain't so bad Somewhere in between the wrong and right We fight It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong, And in my mind... Somewhere in between the wrong and right We fight It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong, And in my mind that's alright That's alright That's alright That's alright

Been awhile and you see his face So you can't ignore the waste All the empty spaces No one home, leaving only traces Give up, go 'way He's not yours to save And if you decide He's not that kind He got a cold piece inside Cold piece inside Now you hear that there's something wrong Though it's sad, he lives his song Ever changing Stranded on the notes remaining Give up, go 'way He's not yours to save And if you decide He's not that kind He got a cold piece inside Cold piece inside In your sunshine In your sunshine Where's your sunshine now Average all, let it in my son To be, is worth the damage done You have no halo Don't spend your time sniffin' round dead shadows Give up, go 'way I'm not yours to save And if you decide I'm not that kind He say, give up, go 'way I'm not yours to save And if you decide I'm not that kind I got a cold piece inside Cold piece inside In your sunshine In your sunshine Where's your sunshine now
