I feel the fear take hold Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go Adrift, I curse this gift And hope you'll never know Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Snapping two by fours Punching holes in dry wall Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Chalking up my dead friends And loved ones long gone I feel the fear take hold Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go Adrift, I curse my gift And hope you never know Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Snapping two by fours Punching holes in dry wall Feel like a psychotic break comin' on Thinking 'bout my dead friends Whose voices ring on

Don't deny I did you cold I broke your trust and lied Controlling, selfish, gossip abound Cocaine mouth over mind And I say... I was my hands, pull the slivers No master plan, I deliver Enigma wrapped in riddle Your life I belittle Dignity I'd steal Now I know how it feels Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking We had our good years too Though apart, you're still in my heart I'd give anything for you And I say... I was my hands, pull the splinters No master plan, I deliver Enigma wrapped in riddle Your life I belittle Dignity I'd steal Now I know how it feels Often heard, seldom seen Bargain Basement Howard Hughes Hermit phase, a woodshed rage These days headlines are few And I say... I was my hands, pull the splinters No master plan, I deliver Enigma wrapped in riddle Your life I belittle Dignity I'd steal Now I know how it feels

Homely, thick in mind, never listen Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision Don't forget this chance only live once Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some Get it all She said I forgive you Don't regret our time You've got to move on love Angel eyes Four years and still I dream Agonize Such beauty not since seen Bow down, piper leading, you were one Hungry, took the prize, then you got dumb Don't live out your life like a sad song Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some Get it all She said I forgive you You must too or die You've got to let me go Angel eyes Four years and Still I dream Agonize Such beauty not since seen Angel eyes Your face is all I see Agonize Forever haunting me Angel eyes

There's no out, downside up for good No light, reflection understood Had to try, perversion satisfied Insane... So I indulge the beast awhile When hurting yourself feels right And there's nothing familiar in sight Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life Or seal your doom Cold transparent blue Locked inside a room In solitude There's no flesh, my own ghost awaits Unclean, defiled, hallucinatory state Lust, sloth, not my only sins It's just how, when it's time, on a degradation trip... Yeah When hurting yourself feels right And there's nothing familiar in sight Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life Or seal your doom Cold transparent blue Locked inside a room In solitude Insanity takes you So black it's untrue So black it's untrue

I can't feel my life Makes me want to cry How bad i feel inside Like I wanna die Can't explain, won't apologize Re-entry blown, while I was gone tilt of axis changed Destination unknown Wreckage in tow Depression grows I have no home Consequences og accepted role Discontented seeds, loveless garden thrown bitter crop to reap Understanding hard-pressed won Through me you feel the void from where the sad sounds come Free return alone in time to see the sun go back

All dreams have died, along the way I coughed up the price, I bought a cage I've had a hell of a time since I went away Don't know when I died, or where to lay down Gone, gone away Yeah gone, gone away God knows I've tried, I'm dyed in pain Strong yet simple drive, the freedom to say I've had a hell of a time since I went away Homing on traces of light, that distance fades Yeah I'm gone, gone away Yeah I'm gone, gone away So they say with time, we slowly heal I caught a flash of your smile, through the fog of a dream I'll have a hell of a time, I clearly see I can't be by your side, I'll see you when I sleep Now you're gone... Gone away Yeah you're gone... Gone away

Day break, wind is blowing strong No escape, caught on a reef in the storm Castaway, licking his cracked lips sore Patient, waits, hoping the rats reach the shore... Yeah... Yeah Yesterday, seems a lifetime now Remembering, those he left and how Out in space, laughing at all below Island stage, plays to his thoughts and ego... Yeah... Yeah Dusk fall, fading sun, no fire light Memories amplify his plight Gathering, searching for shelter above Feel the sting, choking on hoarded love... Yeah... Yeah Thin, cold, tired... Castaway

Rolling over keys that dig in my side Try to get my ass out of bed and drive Feel I'm slipping day by day Past the time I was on my way Happiness and black both know, much learned Long and hard the way a path of twisted turns Disciple sift through lies, few grains of truth behold Explorer specter rise, the dream that brought you low Sentence served, you're free to be Siddhartha, like him he lived both sides A brand new day, I'm looking for a change to come around. Siddgartha on my mind Beggar pick up your crown Seeking all the things untried Disarray, this thing called life Happiness and black both know, much learned Long and hard the way a path of twisted turns Disciple sift through lies, few grains of truth behold Explorer specter rise, the dream that brought you low Sentence served, you're free to be Siddhartha, like him he lived both sides A brand new day, I'm looking for a change to come around.
