Mudvayne Album

I'm a fish out of water,
Kill me and choke on the bones
Nothing seems to matter anymore,
Gotta get back to the reason,
Gotta get back to the hole
Someone throw me an anchor,
Gotta drown this disease
No one seems to matter anymore
Gotta get back to the meaning,
Gotta get back to the score
Buy my soul, so you can sell me
I don't need this, I don't need you
Trust your lies, then you betray me
I don't want this, I don't want you
Up the creek with no paddle,
Through the oars of a board
No one seems to carry at all anymore
Gotta get back to the meaning,
Gonna break backs of the poor
Let me tell you a secret,
So you can tattle and leave
No one holds to their honesty anymore
Gotta get back to the stealing,
Gotta take back from the hoard
Buy my soul, so you can sell me
I don't need this, I don't need you
Trust your lies, then you betray me
I don't want this, I don't want...
... you. I don't want to change
Who do you wanna be, the summit of integrity
Or the bottom, the filth, the dichotomy
All these fallen angels,
Skeletons of what they once were
Hanging in the closet for the world to see
Another fallen angel,
Faced by demons on their judgment
Hanging from the gallows for us all to see it
Buy my soul, so you can sell me
I don't need this, I don't need you
Trust your lies, then you betray me
I don't want this, I don't want you

Lips bleed from the rings,
All these little bruises, the little things,
That provoke the segregation.
Lead the separation.
Cage and clip the wings.
Little noises, the little screams,
That stop the operation.
Conscious amputation.

[Chorus:]
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you did to me.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere,
With nothing,
With no one.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you've done to me.
Draw the chalk line around the scene, it's over,
Now it's all over.

Like a heart that's lost its beat.
A little boy, that softly weeps,
Overwhelmed with emotion,
Views burns through explosion.
Lost the forest through the trees
Little whispers, the little dreams,
That sparked the recollection.
Constant suffocation.

[Chorus:]
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you did to me.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere,
With nothing,
With no one.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you've done to me.
Draw the chalk line around the scene, it's over,
Now it's all over.

I can feel my life is changing,
Changing.
I can feel my heart is jaded,
Jaded.

Left the sticks,
Left the stones,
Words don't hurt,
Mend the bones.
I can feel my life is changing.

[Chorus:]
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you did to me.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere,
With nothing,
With no one.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you've done to me.
Draw the chalk line around the scene, it's over,
Now it's all over.

Erase the past and leave the pain,
Cleanse the wounds and forget the name.
Lost the will, ran far away,
So it's all over.

Spread the ash and fill the grave,
Lost the tongue and make my way.
Do what you do and go away,
Now it's all over.

Hunger inside me, that's always rising
To quench is to kill
Lusting enemy but you don't know me
Snatched against your will
To satisfy me, pick my victim
Stealth is me (those poor little girls)
So charming, say all the right things
Just come with me (let's go for a ride)
Trust me, believe me
Don't be so deceiving
God help me, betray me
From blood lust and beatings
I just wanna play
I just wanna play
A New Game
The hunter within me
That's always searching, thirst for the kill
Abducted, take away cursed with patience
Of a thousand men
Peel my eyes, lock on target
The covert man (you never had a chance)
Don't be alarmed, want some candy?
Just right over here (now get inside)
Trust me, believe me
Don't be so deceiving
God help me, betray me
From blood lust and beatings
I just wanna play
I just wanna play
A New...
I just wanna play, I just wanna play
I just wanna play a game
A New Game
You meant everything to me
But now your nightmare's come
Another broken doll to me
But now your nightmare's come
You meant everything to me
But now your nightmare's come
Another broken doll to me
But now your nightmare's come
Let's take a ride
I just wanna play
I just wanna play a game
One that you've never played before
One that you'll never play again, I'm sure

What were you thinking,
What was going on inside your head
Tell me were you drinking or just plain insane
How were you feelin' with another couple thousand dead
Or were you lyin'? Just playin' games
Placing your bets, Russian roulette
Well on your way to ending our days
You leave us all behind
Broken with precision
Blind leading the blind
Have it your way
You've left us all behind
Riddled with deception
Pepper us with lye
Have it your way
Was it for your father
Did you get a little pat on the head
That's the way to go boy
Clean up his mess
Placing your bets, Russian roulette
You're on your way to ending our days
You leave us all behind
Broken with precision
Blind leading the blind
Have it your way
You've left us all behind
Riddled with deception
Pepper us with lye
Have it your way
Welcome to the new way
The new world order part two
But I'll be damned if they
Would ever die for you
The world is crashing down
All around us, all around you
The world is falling down
Have it your way, we have nothing to say
You leave us all behind
Broken with precision
Blind leading the blind
Have it your way
You've left us all behind
Riddled with deception
Pepper us with lye
Have it your way
Bombs bullets and blood
The things that we don't see
The things that we can't touch
Nightmares are reality
The things that we don't see on the TV
Pledge your allegiance
To the bombs bullets and blood
Pledge your allegiance
To the bombs bullets and blood

Hold me back and hold me down
Hold me close then push me around
Beat me up, beat me down to the ground
I'm sure I deserve it
Left my world, left me alone
Locked inside. Head becomes my home
Inside a hole buried like a bone
I'm sure you had your reasons
Out of your sight
Are you out of your mind
In my absence your heart never grew fonder
You just leave me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
I can't believe it so I walk the road
You just left me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
Had to believe it so I walk alone
So I walk alone
By myself
Had my back then you turned around
Loved by default but were never proud
(I'd) run away but I'm bot allowed so I suffer through it
Out of your sight
Are you out of your mind
In my absence your heart never grew fonder
You just leave me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
I can't believe it so I walk the road
You just left me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
Had to believe it so I walk alone
So I walk alone
So I walk alone
Enough love for the family
Just nothing left for me, ya see?
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
What you've created
Wanted to take a look and see through a hole without a key
See where I've been missing
God damn you for what I am
Enough love of the family
Just nothing left for me, ya see?
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
What you've created
Wanted to take a look and see through a hole without a key
See where I've been missing
God damn you for what I'm missing
No one left for me
You just leave me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
I can't believe it so I walk the road
You just left me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
Had to believe it so I walk alone
So I walk alone
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea

Lend me your children to borrow
I just need to send them away
Long eyes and tears of sorrow
I promise I'll keep them safe
So sorry it didn't work out
You believed the liar in me
My God My love My life
My World My loss My rage
Agnostic for the greater good
When the good things seem to be few and far between
Conscious loss of conscience
Packed the body on ice just to keep it numb
Blame some things on the past
Threw away everything that I had
Unraveling for the last time, stepping out of my skin
Cast in Armor
The hate in me, feeling so empty
The guilt I swallow
Carve the line, skin the face
Stare through me
We'll leave you hollow
Hollow
Assembly of the militant
What are you in our game
Order through anarchy
Eradicate the power's law
Hope's a thing of the past
Threw away everything that I had
The hammer falls
The hate in me, feeling empty
The guilt I swallow
Carve the line, skin the face
Stare through me
We'll leave you hollow
Hollow
Wounded, having a loss of feeling
So dead my heart, my life has been ruined
Lost in an instant
Saw red in my eyes
The hate in me, so consuming
The lives we swallow
To the front line, mirror's engaged
Scope's on me
And leaves me hollow
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
My God My Love My Life
My One My Loss My Grave

My heart is beating but the soul has died
My body's breathing beneath catatonic eyes
The blood is flowing, set free for demise
I've lost my balance but god knows I tried
I don't want to be here anymore in scarlet letters
Carved into what once was me
Once was yours no more
An uphill battle I failed to climb
I left it all now and I don't mind
Betrayed and broken consumed by the lies
Farewell to you all, I'll be fine. Goodbye
I don't want to be here anymore the scarlet letter
Torn in two, a piece of me, the peace in you no more
Do you believe in loss
Do you believe in faith
Do you believe in death
Now that I'm gone
Forsaken me, ashes to dust just let me lie
Lay me to rest, I've done my best but lost my sight
Turning my back, leave me alone let spirit rise
Knives in my back, all hope is lost
Say goodbye
I don't want to be here anymore in Scarlet Letters
Got to go, what once was me, once was yours, no more
I don't want to be here anymore,
I don't want to be here anymore the scarlet letters
Carved into what once was me, once was yours no more

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

Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
I don't mind going hungry, it's the shit that you feed
I don't mind being broken, lost my will to believe
I don't mind being left to waste, to rot
Mow me down like a weed... so what
So I just don't fit, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't care, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't mind, it's who I wanna be
I don't mind being tired, when I can't fuckin' sleep
I don't mind being shattered, living a tragedy
I don't mind being bored to death and broke
Another day to me
So what
Clean up. What
Stand straight. So what
Face the front. What
Now listen up. So what
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' hustles, same ol' way
Same ol' situation, same ol' days
I don't mind being abused, pain the the core of me
I don't mind being violent, born in me my disease
I don't mind being bullied and pushed down
Black my eyes, skin my knees
So I just don't fit, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't care, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't mind, it's who I wanna be
So I don't give a fuck, so what
Get in line. What
Stand up straight. So what
Face the front. What
Now listen up. So what
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' hustles, same ol' way
Same ol' situation, same ol' days
Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
I'm just a puzzle missin' all the pieces and
I don't care and I don't mind
Why would you care at all
Don't fit, don't care, don't mind
Don't give a fuck
In my face, in my way
In my business breaking me
All the time, every day
Every fuckin' second get away
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' hustles, same ol' way
Same ol' situation, same ol' days
What? So what?
What? So what?
What? So what?
What? So what?

My legs are weary
But I still walk
My hands are sore and broken
But I still clutch
My heart is ..
But I still love
My cup is empty
But I still pour

All I ever wanna be
All I ever needed to be
Was whatever you wanted me to
But you took that from me
Yeah

[Chorus]
I was Never Enough for you
I should have known
I should have known
I was Never Enough for you
Don't waste my time

Don't waste my...

I lost the feeling
But I still touch
I stopped believing
But I still trust
All I ever wanna be
All I ever needed to be
Was whatever you wanted me to
But you took that from me
Yeah

[Chorus]

All these questions
Ask me why
I'll just close my eyes
(MY EYES!!!)
Always people asking why
I'll just wave goodbye
(GOODBYE!!!)

Time
Pushing forward
I'm sick and tired
Need a little shelter
Drag the glass across my eyes
Cut me open
Cut me wide
Screaming for the winner
(JUST TO THE WINNER)

[Chorus x2 (slightly different)]

Don't waste my...

I thought we the people had a brain
I thought we the people had a say
Coulda sworn i read it somewhere
Thought I'd seen it on a bumper sticker
I thought we the people had a right
i guess we the people were wrong
We the people always are
Let's go elect another God
The laws they make
I don't give a damn anyway
Rules are made to break to bend to beat to buy
The American dream
Or a bag of magic beans
You can find it on the TV
Whaever you need
Send me your tired your poor and broken
Send me your life so I can break you
We the people can have a plan
We the people can make a stand
Coulda sworn i read it somewhere
Might've seen it in the funny papers
Your money's made to take
To cheat to steal to rob
I can sell you a dream
Fat's bustin' at the seams
You can get it on the TV
Whatever you need
Send me your tired, your poor and broken
Send me your life, so i can break you
Give me your trust, your faith and wishes
Give me your life, So i can own you
Control you
Own Buy Sell Out
Own Buy Sell Out
Everyday there's something new to try
Everyday there's something new to buy
Everyday there's a new American dream
Goin' broke in the land of opportunity
Send me your tired, your poor and broken
Send me your life, so I can break you
Give me your trust, your faith and wishes
Give me your life, so I can own you
Control you
