This Metal Sky You sit collapsed as an empty mind last bytes dissolved into your last breath and the droning sound of hollow replaces pulse with ache. It is lonely here, living in the alarm and the awakening where the dream precipitates madness as its encore. You are only half here, the other half erased to be brushed from the paper by the same hand that fingers your egg like a fresh scab until you bleed a river of ridicules. I see now it's not the vision that's attraction, you peddle your pieces to a man called compromise for a place in the greater scheme until the only thing left standing is the place you once stood. You have just reduced yourself from static to dead air droning. Or it could be the other way-take the wire to the other side of this metal sky and you will see these stars are just projections. This is not real, which means their thunder is merely a threat. Do you want to know the truth? They need you. They are mechanical, maniacal, derived, you couldn't drown in their gene pool if you tried, but they're all made up in disguise, selling the very thing they most want but cannot posess-you. And magic is the key to their success as simple sleight of hand steals your autonomy leaving you believing you are in control. Tell me, do you trust your judgement? My friend, your its been tripped. Welcome to Metropolis... Desperation In my desperation I'll take anything from you, cause what i am is what i need and there is nothing i can do. I'm a slave to your frustration, and I'm working for this pain, but in the end I'm nothing and it doesn't mean a god damn thing. I don't want to live like this, I don't want to be like you I don't need what i don't miss this is what i've got to do Well i don't want to be here but i just don't have a choice and I'd like to say a prayer but i cannot find my voice Well I feel i've lived a lifetime and i guess it's just as well cause the life that i've been living is like living in an empty shell (chorus) I'm just in denial of the things i cannot do but everything that i can't have is all because of you i don't need a guilty conscience i don't need to be a star all i need is some redemption but that just won't get me very far (chorus x 2) Temptation Whatever happened to the life i had in your eyes? I guess I died and I started to believe your lies like the voice i heard in the night if you think i'm crazy then you're god damned right i need to get out of this mess you put me in and think that home is where i'd like to begin well i really doubt that you think that it would be fine c'mon baby now it's temptation time you fucked up, it's easy to see, but i don't know what that has to do with me cause i'm knocked down and ready to fight if you think i'm crazy then you're god damned right you didn't happen to save my soul as it went out the door with the rest of my goals well i just decided i might like it back and i'm as serious as a god damned heart attack well now baby i tried to make you mad when i said i was tired of all these stupid little games well, it's pretty simple, if you try to keep in mind, well now baby it's temptation time (chorus x 2) i didn't mean to cause you any grief, but the things that you do to me go way beyond belief well i never thought that i'd feel like i was dead but your voice is like a bullet in my god damn head and i need to feel wanted, i guess anybody would but you treat me like a child and that just ain't any good i'm wanting to have the things that i think are mine, c'mon baby now it's temptation time (chorus x 2) Think In my mind you're hidden now even though you're far away and i don't know if i'll even try to make it through today regenerate, recirculate now 'till my blood runs dry and i'll never know the things i'm missing till the day i die well i lied when i said nothing, but i don't know what to do i just think about you, i think about youi think about you, i think about you i think about everything you did to me but most of all i need to think about you in my mind you're everything and i will never know why you needed me when i had nowhere else that i could go run around in circles now until my legs give out but i look at the temptation and there's never any doubt well i lied when i said nothing, but i don't know what to do (chorus) i'm afraid i'm missing little pieces of my soul but i never had a need for all the things i didn't know start from the beginning now and tell me everything cause i'm lost without you i don't think i'd do all this again well i lied when i said nothing but i don't know what to do (chorus) | ||||||||||||||||

Living Without You When I'm lost and dead, and I've got it bad There's nothing that amounts to the things I've never had, now you know just what i've been through but living without you is something i could learn to do Well I'm drunk and tired of the life I lead cause you never give me anything i need now you know how much i hate you living without you is something i could learn to do you see everything in black and white nothing wrong when you're not right trusting you was a mistake, i don't know how much more i can take When I'm finally broken, when I'm dead and gone, then will I remember that you did me wrong? everything i ever had was stolen by you living without you is something i could learn to do (1st verse repeats) (Before he says living without you, he whispers Everything in Black and White Twice) Torque I'm riding with the top down everything's fine there ain't nothing goin' on inside my mind 'cuz i'm gonna join the devil in the deep blue sea and my blood's in overdrive never can tell but the fact of the matter is I know quite well livin' ain't livin' in a small amount take it from me every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts If I run away from every little thing I fear I know I've got to get the hell out of here but it's time to get away from the things I don't like if there ain't something better coming down the pike never had a hard time happen this bad and I never met nothing that could make me mad but then livin' ain't livin' in a small amount take it from me every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts I hate to be the one to bring you down like this I never saw anything happen that fast now I ain't very well and I'm makin' this last but I know that everything I do is wrong and I'm trying to fit where I don't belong my brain's in overdrive never can tell but the fact of the matter is I know quite well livin' ain't livin' in a small amount take it from me every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts every little bit counts I hate to be the one to bring you down like this White Lightning Well I wake up in a cold, cold sweat burn a hole in my skin with my cigarette but it doesn't hurt cuz I'm used to pain and I ain't felt nothing yet I don't know what to do when anything goes wrong except wander around like I don't belong can't take anymore, got no reason to fight White Lightning gonna come down and put out the lights (Sometimes I can't take all the things that you do to me I just can't take it you're such a goddamned motherfucker motherfucker I don't need this shit) Well I know that hard times have just begun and I don't think that I have what it takes to be one of the lies I've heard like a matter of fact each turn around something gets stabbed in the back well the thing that think I don't think well I guess that's no reason to get distressed when I don't think that I can take anything else White Lightning comes down and I'm down like the rest Oh White Lightning... White Lightning White Lightning White Lightning (Sometimes I just can't take it anymore I just can't take it demons crawling on my back saying shit I don't wanna hear I just don't wanna hear it I turn down the lights and I stay quiet my head in my hands...) Oh White Lightning... White Lightning White Lightning White Lightning gonna make everything alright Everything Everything is just fine if you feel that way, it's just not right to want to be the one thing on everybody's mind I never asked for much from you but there's nothing I can do to ease the pain of knowing I am nothing way deep down inside I don't know what else you could want from me cause I did all I should, I gave you more than any self-respecting person ever would I'll never be the one you want I'll never be the one you need Why can't you see the truth? Cause I just don't know what else to believe now. Everything is just great if you feel that way, I just can't hate enough but now I know it's just a little bit too late I have to live inside this pain, but it's driving me insane but I've got everything to lose, and nothing left to gain I don't know what else you could want from me cause I did all I should, I gave you more than any self-respecting person ever would I'll never be the one you want I'll never be the one you need Why can't you see the truth? Cause I just don't know what else to believe now. Everything is all good if you feel that way, I wish that you would leave me be, cause I've already done all that I should I ddin't choose to live this way, but it's just the price I pay and I think about the things I'm missing every single day I don't know what else you could want from me cause I did all I should, I gave you more than any self-respecting person ever would I'll never be the one you want I'll never be the one you need Why can't you see the truth? Cause I just don't know what else to believe. What Do You Want From Me Well then I don't want to be the one to say has the truth been getting farther from my fingers everyday? I'm moving on a mountain, that's the only thing I do you know I hate to say it, I'm a lot like you with the voices in my head, sayin' things I'll never hear I hear 'em from the night, makes it all to dissapear well I wake up and I'm dreaming in the middle of the night I sold my own redemption and I'll never make it right now What do you want from me? That I haven't seen? What do you want from me? or that I cannot be. What do you want from me? you never saw the light What do you want from me? Oh, baby it's alright. Well now I think that you should leave me all alone and I think I'll be alright inside these same old walls well now I don't want to live like I'm a prisoner of fate more later.... | ||||||||||||||||
