Pain (bonus track)
. . .


I see the way that the sun spits in your face
Our love is to big for us to break
You got me wishing for the stars in outer space
I'm holding on to this life and love, and for...
The possibility, you and me, let me be

I need to find a way
To put this trouble behind us
Can't spend my life in shame
Making light of these dark days

I see the way that the rain spits in your face
Just falling apart your lips to taste
If I could give to you the stars in outer space
I'm holding on to this life and love, and for..
The possibility, you and me, let me be

I need to find a way
To put this trouble behind us
Can't spend my life in shame
(ba da ba ba ba ba ba da)
Making light of these dark days
Another time and place
To put this trouble behind us
(ba da ba ba ba ba ba da)
Can't spend my life in shame
(ba da ba ba ba ba ba da)
Making light of these dark days

So far away
So far away
(so far away)

Look into your heart
And let time heed this place
We're not so far away (we're not so far away)
The possibility, you and me, let me be

I need to find a way
To put this trouble behind us
Can't spend my life in shame
(ba da ba ba ba ba ba da)
Making light of these dark days
Another time and place
(ba da ba ba ba ba ba da)
To put this trouble behind us
Can't spend my life in shame
(ba da ba ba ba ba ba da)
Making light of these dark
Light of these dark
Light of these dark days

All as one, you made me come home.
All this, I'm one...to never follow.
In all this I'm one...who will ever love you.
All this I'm done....all this I'm done.

. . .


I've gotta take this moment just to push you down,
Spin you around with the foot on the back of your neck,
Up on the curb, with the pressure on your teeth.
(Not gonna take this, not gonna take this!)

I watch the rain make a puddle to get you soaked,
This fallen word cried comin' out of your throat,
Stinkin' times for the shallow believers...
(Not gonna take this, not gonna take this!)

I swear your head is bigger than us all, getting bigger...
(Go slit your own throat, slit your own throat!)
You're more turned on than anyone could be by yourself.
(Go slit your own throat, slit your own throat!)

Just like a tick, I'm itching the back of your throat,
You miss the beat while I'm hanging on every note,
You gotta choke cause you swallowed a problem.
(Not gonna take this, not gonna take this!)

I see them slide through the tower that gets you soaked,
This kind it does it, you bleed, I fuckin' already know,
It's lost in time for the shallow believer.
(Not gonna take this, not gonna take this!)

I swear your head is bigger than us all, getting bigger...
(Go slit your own throat, slit your own throat!)
You're more turned on than anyone could be by yourself.
(Go slit your own throat, slit your own throat!)

Not gonna take this,
not gonna take this,
not gonna take this,
not gonna take this...

. . .


Just by the look of it
As in the way you wrote me off
I'm not supposed to see
Your eyes tell lies you mouth can never spill
I wasn't feeling it
I don't even need to shake your hand
I guess you were born equipped
Your eyes tell lies you mouth can never spill
Your eyes tell lies you mouth can never spill

So nice to meet you
I see right through that smile so in other words
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again

Don't want a part of it
Don't want to be seen with a type like you
I know you were born equipped
Your eyes tell lies you mouth can never spill
Can we get on with it
We both need to go our separate ways
And never be seen again
Your eyes tell lies you mouth can never spill
Your eyes tell lies you mouth can never spill

So nice to meet you
I see right through that smile so in other words
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again

The devil beside you
To watch you die when you can't find a remedy
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again
I hope I never see your face
I hope I never see your face again

I hope I never see
I hope I never see your face
I hope I
I hope I
I hope I
I hope I never see your face

So nice to meet you
I see right through that smile so in other words
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face again

The devil beside you
To watch you die cause you can't find a remedy
So nice to meet you
I hope I never see your face I
I hope I never see your face I
I hope I never see your face again!

Whoaaa oh, oh.
Whoaaa oh, whoa.
Whoaaa, whoa, whoa oh, oh

I stopped to call you my little girl.
I meant more. So much more.
That I'd like to push it half to death.
They want to, they watch you.

Silence turning heads and breaking necks.
Past time, we'll mean time.
See their jaws drop as you fly like a butterfly straight into my web.
(Straight into my web)

Maybe I will be the only one who could leave her.

Do you feel stuck? It's all in your head
Mindless, I'm fading.
I miss the other flies, already dead
I caught some, and left one.
I saw them turning heads, and broke my neck
I learned to, they want to.
See me drop my jaw as you fly like a butterfly,
Straight into my web.

Maybe I will be the only one who could leave her.
Should I lie and just pretend that I couldn't kill her?
Maybe I can just pretend,
As she flies into my web.

Whoaaa oh, oh.
Whoaaa oh, whoa.
Whoaaa, whoa, whoa oh, oh

Straight into my web.
Straight into my web.

I stopped to call you my little girl,
I meant more, so much more.
See me drop my jaw as you fly like a butterfly.

Maybe I will be the only one who could leave her.
Should I lie and just pretend that I couldn't kill her?
Maybe I will be the only one who will leave her.
Should I lie and just pretend that I couldn't kill her?
Maybe I can just pretend,
As she flies into my web.

Stuck sitting in your own mess sinking
Call up arms to search for a better word
A mess you made, a smell you chose
I wont break in front of you

Better off on your own you said
I’ve seen that look in your eye
its embarrassing
one know cold And make this quite a pleasant poison and its

My life
My pesticide
Will tell the tide
Make it last a long one
Its my life
But leave this time
My pesticide
Slow to kill your dreams

Stay in bed and that’s another day wasted
Colors fade to grey like they never do
The whole things spins
And yes you chose
To think for only you
So pull the pin and let the whole thing go
Between that smile and look its embarrassing
Sell your soul and let this quite a pleasant poison and its

My life
My pesticide
Will tell the tide
Make it last a long one
Its my life
But leave this time
My pesticide
Slow to kill your dreams

Slow, slow, slow, slow to kill your dreams

My life
My pesticide
Will take the tide
Make it last a long one
Its my life
But me this time
My pesticide
Slow to kill your dreams

Slow, slow, slow, slow to kill your dreams

As of now I'm down straight up
And I can turn to the box for some peace
Or a box for a piece
Or a box for a smoke
But they're all gonna choke me

You're so crazy
Enough in a way that I'll probably say you destroyed me

For awhile I was cleaner than now
Then I started to destroy myself
With things that i love now the things that I hate
Until it finally broke me

Fuck my ass


. . .


And it all falls down at once
And I try to get some sleep
And the comforts of this bed
Have all been shattered to pieces

I have a knack for feeling lost
All those times I couldn't eat
Like I couldn't yell enough
But getting tired of screaming

The sun comes up
And now you have a chance again
The world falls down
We all forget where to begin
The world collapses
You hold it in..

Maybe I have said too much
Or really haven't said enough
All these words they come undone
I'm getting lost in the meaning

And all the coldness in my thoughts
Of being frozen all alone
In a world that we destroy
And try to pick up the pieces

The sun comes up
And now you have a chance again
The world falls down
We all forget where to begin
The world collapses
You hold it in

The sun comes up
And now you have a chance again

All you've lost...
Leave your self you drift away in your eyes
Open up as you catch me
Caught before I hit the ground
I'm dying for you only

My feeling is forever happens
All at once
All at once

The sun comes up
And now you have a chance again
The world falls down
We all forget where to begin
The world collapses
You hold it in

The world collapses
You hold it in
The sun comes up
And now you have a chance again

Call this a mask, call me strong;
Call me a mess, call me wrong.
'Cause sick hearts do fine
With wasting their time.
(Yeah!)

Make up two words on the spot for the moment,
Acting like it's what you meant to say.
Calling to angels, gets lonesome,
when you don't believe they exist anyway.

I'd rather shut my eyes...
Call this a mask, call me strong;
Call me a mess, call me wrong.
'Cause sick hearts do fine
With wasting their time.

(Wasting time, wasting time)

Aching my head like it's the weight of the world,
And it seems I forgot how to smile (forgot how to..)
Make friends with the devil, it's dangerous sad
That I don't really have any friends
(Don't have a friend)

I'd rather shut my eyes...
Call this a mask, call me strong;
Call me a mess, call me wrong.
''Cause sick hearts do fine
With wasting their time.
Call me a boy 'til I've learned ('til I've learned)
Call me the bird or the worm.
''Cause sick hearts do fine
With wasting their...

There's so much left to see,
But I'd rather shut my eyes.
I don't know what's come over me,
But I'd rather shut my eyes.
There's so much that I could see
But I'd rather shut my eyes,
I'd rather shut my eyes (Rather shut my...)
I'd rather shut my eyes.

Call this a mask, call me strong;
Call me a mess, call me wrong.
'Cause sick hearts do fine
With wasting their time.
Call me a boy 'til I've learned ('til I've learned)
Call me the bird or the worm.
'Cause sick hearts do fine with wasting their time (Wasting time)
With wasting their time.

The worms they crack like words and
turn you teeth up and run, leave.
I'm all drinks.
so I clean
I fall down.
should I fit these.
so politely.
all praises sugar coated.
looking between her mouth and mine.
I got scars from dirty scratches.
scabs and ashes.
the back of your mouth.

In this exchange I often touch myself,
so go ahead and let those dirty words pass right through me.
just passing through.
not stopping by.
not saying hi.
girl you can't kill a liar.

You throw up everywhere now.
enjoy the cup and coffee.
I am the puddle.
make me.
dancing hoes and stagnance. okay.
these words are sugar coated.
crossed up they still cut out to touch.
got scars from dirty scratches.
scabs and ashes.
the back of your mouth.

In this exchange I often touch myself,
so go ahead and let those dirty words pass right through me.
just passing through.
not stopping by.
not saying hi.
girl you can't kill a liar.

You can't kill...

In this exchange I often touch myself,
so go ahead and let those dirty words pass right through me.
just passing through.
not stopping by.
not saying hi.
girl you can't kill a liar.

I set out alone,
Crawl through the tunnel,
My eyes can hardly see the other side,
No longer cold,
Or feeling in trouble,
I realize that I am just alive....
So let it shine,

Cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
We are the living and dying,
See how we are, alone in the world,
We are the light in the tunnel,
That's all.....

Moving so slow, towards the end of the tunnel
I don't pretend I'll see the other side
I trudge through the mud
I push through the rubble
To realize that I am just alive
So let it shine

Cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
We are the living and dying,
See how we are, alone in the world
We are the light in the tunnel

The world is not leaving us (leave us behind)
But we will be leaving this world
Yeah, the world is not leaving us (leave us behind)
Do we believe in this world?

Cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
We are the living and dying,
See how we are, alone in the world
We are the light in the tunnel
That's all....
We are the light in the tunnel
That's all....
We are the light in the tunnel
That's all....

Fade away
So you don't make a scene
close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever
Afraid of what you are
Afraid of how you
Learn to close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever

If you had the mind to just check out
Its something better that nothing
I'm not the type to scream and shout
(yeah)

Pain
In pains me just to see you with
rather be lost in a river without you
Pain, pain, pain.

You made your point
You don't know what to say
close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever
You never come so close
You never got this far
You close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever

If you had the mind to just check out
Its something better that nothing
I'm not the type to scream and shout
(yeah)

Pain
In pains me just to see you with
rather be lost in a river without you
Pain, pain, pain.

shamed of what you are and what you been
It must be hard living tired in your shoes
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame

So cry bad day
Grey clouds, black haze
So sure the sun could collapse your ways
So cry bad day
(So cry bad day)
So cry bad day
(So cry bad day)
[X2]

Pain
In pains me just to see you with
rather be lost in a river without you
Pain, pain, pain.

shamed of what you are and what you been
It must be hard living tired in your shoes
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame

Pain

Keep your mouth closed [x6]
