Mudvayne Album

I would love to beat the face,
Of any mother fucker that's thinkin' they can change me,
White knuckles grip pushing through for the gold,
If you're wantin' a piece of me I broke the mother fuckin' mold,
I'm drowning in your wake
Shit rubbed in my face
Teething on concrete
Gums bleeding

Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing

I struggle in violated space,
Sell out motherfuckers in the biz that try to fuck me,
Hang from their T's rated P.G. insight,
I ain't sellin' my soul when there's nothing to buy
I'm livid in my space
Pissing in my face
Fuck you while you try
To fuck me

Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was you ain't fuckin' changing me

Let me help you tie the rope around your neck,
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock against your head
Let me help you tie the rope around your neck,
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off the ledge,
Let me help you hold the glock up to your head,
Let me help to chain the weights onto your legs
Get on the plank fuck

Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing
Wish you were committing
Suicide suckin' on a mother fuckin' tailpipe
Dead man dangling from a tight rope

Insult me in my home

Through the eyesores on my face 
I can still see right fucking through you 
Fuck you and everything you are 
I feel were all still mental. 
Closed eyes while you fucking criticize 
keep your policy 
and try to exploit me 
Fabricate your lies 
We have burned these ghosts just to bleed out in silence! 
(Listen here) 

Stand on my soapbox 
And speak my own piece 
Whatever you may think 
(It's real) 
to go through what is me 
And step on your beliefs 
Need these bodies to sell us 
Robbing our integrity!

All work and no play makes me a dull boy
All work and no play makes me a dull boy
All work and no play makes me a dull boy
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES ME A DULL BOY!!

Live in a secret
Live in a lie
Live in a dark hole beneath the black sky
Live like a martyr and draw my last breath
Feel like an old man with a knife in my chest

LIVE like a chance see
LIVE like a thief
Hide in a closet grinding my teeth
Sit in a small room with the walls closing in
Open the shutters but everything still dim

Payback!
For all the things I've done in my past
Payback!
For everything
There are no "take backs"

I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all

I'm not the reason - I'm not your scapegoat
It's not my fault - I'm not your god
It's not my problem - I'm not your mayrter
I'm not the cause - I'd leave you all

All work and no play makes me a dull boy
Feel like a clown without my funny nose
Walk to the window break it out with my fist
Jump from the ceil and I'll plunge to my death

YOU can be selfish whatever you think
Throw back my pills and take a sip of my drink
WALK under the clouds, WALK under the trees
Always again covering me

Payback for all the things
I've done in my past

I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all

I'm not the reason (I'm not your scapegoat)
It's not my fault (I'm not your god)
It's not my problem (I'm not your mayrtr)
I'm not the cause (I'd leave you all)

Sunshines gone...

It's all gone

By the way, just so you know...
Always, this is how I feel
By the way, just so you know...
Always, everyday, this is how I feel

I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scape goat (I'm not your scape goat)
I'm not your god (I'm not your god)
I'm not your martyr (I'm not your mayrter)
This is how I feel (This is how I feel)

By the way, just so you know...
Always, everyday, this is how I feel

Cold seems crippling lame meander through corridors aroma's thick with age mark off the
day reflections of my life are fading

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into,
Maker take the body don't want it wants me

Past has found its place salvation is no more will god accept my peace bleached will
pardon me reflections of my life are fading
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into,
Maker take the body don't want it wants me

I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
cocooned in misery

I'm sick and tired of embracing reflections of past time receive me or cast me away
...god please take me away
resistance futile suicidal ideas I will crucify my own being satisfy selfish needs fuck
the deities justify my own right to what's waiting for me

On the other side the time has come lock and load I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming I'm
coming home

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it,
Maker take the body don't want it wants me,
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it,
Maker take the body don't want it wants me

I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
cocooned in misery
The darkness overcomes soul soars to the other plain
Existence past the door I sail through purgatory's bay

I asked a god for poison cradle me sown to my dreams souls searching death blossoms where
clouds lie over me held in god's hands death blooming

Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting roiling hate
death grip in my veins unveiling rancid petals flowering forth foul nectar the space
between a blink and a tear

Dreams of earthquakes
Dreams of hurricanes
Dreams of pouring rain
Dreams of tidal waves...to wash us all away
Dreams of guns blazed
Dreams of fire rage
Dreams of swollen graves
Dreams of hollow pain
All gone

No more fallen
No more enemy
No more casuality
No more dream

Fall into sleep
Fall into me
I have a dream
But nobody cares
Nobody wants to listen

Fall into sleep
Fall into me
Hang on to a dream that nobody wants
Nobody cares anymore

Dreams of mourning grief
Dreams of disbelief
Dreams of tragedy
Dreams of our disease...to take us all away
Dreams of fidelity
Dreams of inner peace
Dreams of loyalty
Dreams of unity
All gone
All gone

Fall into sleep
Fall into me
I have a dream
But nobody cares
Nobody wants to listen

Fall into sleep
Fall into me
Hang on to a dream that nobody wants
Nobody cares anymore

The angels are injured
Fall with broken burning wings
Are we dead inside
Are we blind
We can't keep moving forward
Backwards with closed eyes
We're losing sight
All lost inside

No more fallen
No more enemy

Fall into sleep
Fall into me
I have a dream
But nobody cares
Nobody wants to listen

Fall into sleep
Fall into me
Hang on to a dream that nobody wants
Nobody cares
Nobody wants
Nobody cares anymore

All gone
All gone
All gone

Always, known in, all my time,
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize,
That all I need is to find the middle pillar
Path to sit like the sun by a
star in the sky and just be.
Sinners, casting stones at me.
I...I stand, not crawling, not falling down.
I...I bleed the demons that drag me down.
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling, (the center), not falling down.
(of calms within the eye)
Goodbye, Sunshine, I've put it out again, sad
I'm over, Personalites, conflicting,
I don't need you, or anyone, but me,
I 'll just be, living my own life,
I feel my glowing center grow, Infecting
I feel alive,
Shovel dirt over lime,
Plant it in myself to sit like a seed under
covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me.
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(by myself), not falling down.
I...I bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(but myself), that drag me down
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(the center), not falling down,
(of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(but myself), that pull me down
(for me and no one else)
Come play kill
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stone cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow,
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow
I'm fueled godless
Come Play, Come Play
Kill
Just be, Just be
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(by myself), not falling down.
I...I bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(but myself), that drag me down
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(the center), not falling down,
(of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(but myself), that pull me down
(for me and no one else)

Losses, losers and more, gain of life's pleasures cohorts listen behind the doors to a life meaningless less than 0 in me all my walls falling down pains aloft misery
I'm sure that the lessons were learned I'm sure that the punishments went well deserved by the pawn in the plan taste of shit bitterness walk from me everything systematically

Come on youweretheone youweretheone,
To dredge up shit inside of me in my pointless life of nothing
Tell me what I'm supposed to be
Tell me who I'm supposed to be
Tell me what it takes to ascend
Tell me what it takes to live

Patience, pleasures and rewards, come in due time stare at the sun I'm bored in a life meaningless soaking up all of me like the cross you worship life is loss look at me I'm sure that some day we'll wake up I'm sure that some day we'll wake from the dream
Of success and focus...tunneling to the light glowing deep inside of me your taunting I wake up

Come on youweretheone youweretheone,
To dredge up shit inside of me in my pointless life of nothing
Tell me what I'm supposed to be
Tell me who I'm supposed to be
Tell me what it takes to ascend

Tell me nOW!
Tell me nOW!

Pain misery distress dismal know where depressed idiot failure
In me......calling......loser......man I'm the
Loser......loser.....loser......in me......who I am....in me....

Don't feel sorry don't feel sorry for me
Don't need your sympathy or empathy, don't need your sympathy inside of me,
Don't need your sympathy or empathy, don't need your sympathy inside of me,
Don't feel sorry don't feel sorry for me

Come on
I know youweretheone youweretheone
Numb to feelings inside of me why I've seized my vision
Don't need you to tell me who to be
Don't need you to tell me what to be
Don't need you to tell me how to ascend
Don't need you to tell me how to live

In this hole
That is me
The dead are rolling over
In this hole
Thickening
Dirt's shoveled over shoulders

I feel it's me
So overwhelmed
Oh there's precious little rising

My life overturned
What dare the despair?
All these scars keep ripping open

Peel me from the skin
Tear me from the rind
Does it make you happy now?

Tear me from the bone
Tear me from myself
Are you feeling happy now?

In this hole
That is me
A life that's growing feeble
In this hole
So limiting
The sun has set, all darkens

Buried underneath
And slip off the wheel
Eternal pathways to contention

Peel me from the skin
Tear me from the rind
Does it make you happy now?

Tear me from the bone
Tear me from myself
Are you feeling happy now?

I am
Happy
I am
Happy
Are you feeling happy?

In this hole
That is me
Left with a heart exhausted

What's my release?
What sets me free?
Do you pull me up
Just to push me down again?

Peel me from the skin
Tear me from the rind
Does it make you happy now?

Tear me from the bone
Tear me from myself
Are you feeling happy now?

Peel me from the skin (Peel me from the skin)
Tear me from the rind
Does it make you happy now?

Tear me from the bone (Tear me from the bone)
Tear me from myself
Are you feeling happy now?

Does it make you happy?
Are you feeling happy?
Are you fucking happy
Now that I'm lost, left with nothing?

Does it make you happy?
Are you feeling happy?
Are you fucking happy

When everything is lost, (peel it all away)
Hauntin us with questions (asking)
Will we...
Ever find the smile inside (no), is it hidden
Behind the sweating eyes (bleeding)
Dead inside a scream that's pouring from me.
I'm planted in this skin, (constricting and pulling me)
This dirty filthy skin (rancid and stinging me)
I burn behind the walls, (that have become my world)
The bearer of a gift, fuck your gift.
Truth does not exist,
but the lies do.......
They're buried in the skin,
Evolved
Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there..
(Inside of lies buried in me, why)
Alone
Born into a world never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth)
Daath...
Always inside a tragedy, (things never seem to go away)
A room that I remember, (Portraits I carry)
Try letting go of this space (bad habits can't
kick me)
The fool that fell from heaven, heaven
Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there..
(Inside of lies buried in me, why)
Alone
Born into a world never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth)
Maybe we're all the children of a star,
misguided in direction, our misdirection
pardon me while I pray for light.
I'm not the only one,
That walks between the rain, there are many.
I'm not the only one
when everything is lost that doesn't
surrender.
Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there..
(Inside of lies buried in me, why)
Alone
Blind walking through a world
I never asked to be here.
Versions of the truth...
I'm not the only one...
Lies!!

When passion's lost and all the trust is gone,
way too far, for way too long
children crying, cast out and neglected,
only in a world so cold, only in a world
this cold
hold the hand of your best friend, look into
their eyes,
then watch them drift away
some might say, we've done the wrong things,
for way too long, for way too long.
Fever inside the storm,
so I'm turning away
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'cause I'm through mending the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
'cause I'm running away,
away from the games
(fucking head games)
away from the space
(hate this space)
The circumstances of a world so cold.
Burning whispers remind me of the days,
I was left alone, in a world this cold
guilty of the same things, provoked by
the cause
I've left alone, in a world so cold
fever inside the storm,
So I'm turning away,
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'cause I'm through mending the wounds of us.
Keep your thorns
'cause I'm running away,
away from the games
(fucking head games)
away from the space
(hate this space)
The circumstances of a world so cold.
I'm flying, I'm flying away,
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the games
(fucking head games)
the circumstances of a world so cold
Why does everyone feel like my enemy,
don't want any part of depression or darkness, I've had enough,
sick and tired, bring the sun or I'm gone,
or I'm gone
I'm backing out, I'm no pawn,
no mother-fucking slave to this,
never lied
never left
never lived
never loved
never lost
never hurt
never worry about being me, or anyone else
not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about
anything,
Backing out, giving up, no mother-fucking
slave to this,
never lied
never left
never lived
never loved
never lost
never hurt
never worry about being me, or anyone else
not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about
anything,
I need to find a darkened corner,
a lightless corner,
where it's safer and calmer,
I'm turning away,
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'cause I'm through mending the wounds of us
I'm running away,
away from the games
(fucking head games)
away from the space
(hate this head space)
the circumstances of a world so cold
I'm flying, I'm flying away,
away from the names
(calling your names)
(fucking head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold.

Pack up my shit I’m on the road like Kerouac (whooo)
Found tranquility in the cover that holds me (down down)
People I've query I’m always on the move (get more)
Set it up pack it up giddy up giddy up, whooo!

I love it, whooo!
I hate it

Rolling Stones gather no moss, so lets go
Not a life, not a love
Not a motherfuckin' minute to spare (god damn)
3 65 24/7 on the move (hey)
Gotta go gotta go gotta hurry up and get there (now)

I’m living' the life (whooo!)
Without the life (god damn)
Gotta make it today to live up on the stage (hey)
So I’m blowing it up like a high school game

I know my place is on this road, my sad story
Reflect on all the things that fell behind, can't be sorry
I will follow my life and all the curves that it throws me
Just when I think that I’ve found my home - I’m gone

When my worlds only gonna P to TM
We’ll be choppin' him dead inside, until I’m dead (yeah)
Keep my hat on my head can't hang it without a home (god damn)
Gotta push it more and this way I am alone (hey)

I’m living' the life (whooo!)
Without the life (god damn)
Gotta make it today to live up on the stage (hey)
So I’m blowing it up like a high school game

I know my place is on this road, my sad story
Reflect on all the things that fell behind, can't be sorry
I will follow my life and all the curves that it throws me
Just when I think that I’ve found my home - I’m gone

This circus cycle family
If faces aren't so strange
Faces becoming more familiar
Day by day
Sharing becomes closer
Day by day
The world becomes our home

DAY - we'll turn up with nothing
NIGHT - but we'll be back sometime
DAY - if its ready I’m ready
NIGHT - I’ve lived a life today
DAY - I’m healing the bleeding
NIGHT - dead now to back alive
DAY - I’ve been through another
DAY - I’m living the life, yeah right

I know my place is on this road - I can't be sorry
Reflect on all the words that fell aside - my tragedy
I have followed my life and all the curves that it's thrown me
Now at least I know I’ve found my home
Where I belong!

Pendulum stops and falls away
Life sifted through like sand
Storms of summer rain
Flooding lifelines in our hands
Our skin of blood and bone
Gently close to dust and blows
Our home of blood and bone
Pulls through the ground and so....
Unstoppable
These feelings of loss
So unstoppable
Egging through to the marrow of bones
Just let it go
Pain willing in your eyes
Just let me go
Dry the tears that fall

And remember
When everything is typical
I’ll be the wish upon a star
I’ve found a place so magical
Goodbye....

See you another goodbye
I..See you another goodbye
See you another goodbye
See you another...

Peeling killers rise
Precious circle is mended
Sense vertigo in you
So I’ll be your halo
So unstoppable
My love for you
So unstoppable
Memories of you

Just remember
When everything is typical
I’ll be the wish upon a star
I’ve found a place so magical
But still please...

Someone, Help Me, Grab Me, Save Me Now,
Distrust, Darkened, Daylight, I’ve lost sight
Someone, Help Me, Grab Me, Save Me Now,
Distrust, Darkened, Daylight, I’ve lost sight

Remember
That nothing here is typical
I’ll be the wish upon a star
I’ve lost something so magical
And gone so far
Just remember
When everything seems difficult
I’ll be shining from a far
When it feels like things have gone away
I’ll see you again

I’ll see you again, Goodbye
I’ll see you again, Goodbye
I’ll see you again, Goodbye
I’ll see you again, Goodbye
I’ll see you again, Goodbye....

This puzzle's dead inside
missing pieces growing eyes,
mystery
little girls severity
little boys begging mercy
sticks break on me
cost of life at 23
price of pain a golden ring
all crimson
melting body rubber world
battle axe with locks of curls
introverted.
My cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to make things okay,
1000 points for insect stings,
glue my spirit, break my wings,
misery
Libido steams infectious whore
cauterize and forge the sword,
remember killing
Children, learning the secrete knock, a nickel
to enter that place
the place you would go to make things okay.
my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to take pain away
Games of passion taste so sweet
cut his throat and slaughhter meat
my secrets
Seven heads for seven seas
darkened voices plead disease
Dismembering me
Children, wrestle to seal the bag, storing it deep
in that place,
the place you would go and try to escape
children, learning the secret knock, a nickel
to enter that place
the place you would go to make things okay
my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to take pain away.
Skrying through reflections in a pool,
I see death coming, mowing down
do you remember the bedroom,
was it your cell or was it your tomb,
You're living through my hell
Children, learning the secret knock, a nickel
to enter that place
the place you would go to make things okay
my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to take pain away.

Repeating in my head
Betrayal
Repeating in my head
Insecurities

It's not your fault
The well of thought and trust has run dry
Don't be afraid to let go
Don't be afraid to start over when it's over

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Let go of feelings
Let go of compromise
Hollow trunk for shelter
So dark and cold inside
I always seem to find myself alone
Jaded shell of being
Porous as a stone

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

Let go of trusting
Lost thought for family
Let go of living
No more concerns of demise
I never seem to find rhythm for life's harmony

Contorted
Twisted broken
Without a reason

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

It's all me
All you are
Without me
There's nothing else
There's no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Hope is out of season
Lost sight
No hint of light
Get busy living or get busy dying

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

It's all me
All you are
Without me
There's nothing else
There's no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Save me
This loss
Closure my
Answer
So grant it

You owe me all that you are
Without me
You're nothing
You're no one

Terrified
Petrified

Nothing
You're no one
Do you care because I don't
Nothing
You're no one
Nobody cares so just go

Nothing
You're no one
By yourself all alone

It's all me
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Save me
This loss
Closure my
Answer
So grant it
You owe me all that you are
Without me

What have I done?
Where have I come from?
When I burnt the backs with the sun through a glass did I seal the loss that's
become me?

Feeling undone
What have I become?
When I turned my back on you I turned my back on myself and became this machine

Thoughtlessness
Selfishness
Hopelessness
Arrogant

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again

Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?

Shadows in the sun
Filter through us
Still wrestle the demons that arrested me as a child
Confession rejected
We grow up
To give up
People step on the cracks for wounds owed paid back
Through the words of surrender

Emptiness
Loneliness
Listlessness
Worthless

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?

Can you save me?
From myself
From these memories
Can you save me?
From myself
From these memories

Surrender
To the shadows
Haunting inside
Bleed through you
Surrender to the secretes...inside
Lies within you

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?

Can't feel you on the inside
Set down the bag and left it
Lost memory has left me
One again
Open up the inside
Admission for the cleansing
Now that I've forgotten to remember

Surrender
To the shadows
Haunting inside

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(It's my soul up there)
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
(It's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain, king of pain, king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain....
