Can't you see I’m easily
I'm bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you
You wanted to get under my skin
And call yourself friend
I've got more friends like you

What do I do?
Is there no standing by?
What it takes
Who I am
Where I've been
Alone

You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin’ to me?

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You try to make friends, not sympathize
Can you hear the violins playin' your song
Those secrets tell me your every word

Is there no standing by?
What it takes
Who I am
Where I've been
Alone

You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk
What do you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?

Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin’ to me?
No way punk

Respect, walk
What do you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?

Respect, walk
what did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talking to me?
I'm goin' home, boy

I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now

Oh yeah

Well I just looked in the mirror
And things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota

Oh yeah

So now you know
Who gets mystified
So now you know
Who gets mystified

Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
Yeah it gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again

Hey I'm feeling
Oh I'm feeling
outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined

Oh yeah

Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are s***ting

Oh yeah

I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking

So now you know
Who gets mystified
So now you know
Who gets mystified

Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That i'm down on my knees today
yeah it gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again

I'm feeling
Oh I'm feeling
outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined

Ooh yeah!

Outshined

So now you know
Who gets mystified

Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again

Oh I'm feeling
Oh i'm feeling

Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
Yeah it gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again

Oh I'm feeling
Oh I'm feeling
outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined

Woo!
Stiff club, its my nature,
Custom love is the nomenclature.
Turn down mass confusion,
Hit the road because we just keep cruisin'.
Double my fun, double my vision,
Long hard look at my last decision.
Hustle here, hustle there,
Hustle me b**** and you best beware.

It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Soft walk to horizon,
One big crash that no one dies in.
This for the folks in Fayetteville,
It'll come true if you say it will.
Chorus

Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around

It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Please don't look right through me,
Hurts my heart when you do that to me.
Street lights out my window,
City may breeze gonna stroke my skin though.
Just a lot of words on an old brick wall,
Rob a lot of banks, got a pedigree straw,
Put my peg into your square,
Run around like we just don't care.
Chorus

Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around

Oh yeah ahh
Woo!!

Move it ah gotta get ya,
Wanna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya,
Gonna getcha

Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around
Oh yeah ahh

I see nothing in your eyes
And the more I see the less I like
Is it over yet?
In my head

I know nothing of your kind
And I won't reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet?
I can't wait

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away, please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

This will be all over soon
Pour salt into the open wound
Is it over yet?
Let me in

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away, please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

I'm waiting
I'm praying
Realize
Start hating

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
A handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you to just believe this is real
So I let go watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here because you're all that I got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Because you don't understand
I do what I can, but sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I let go, watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here because you're all that I got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

No, hear me out now
You're going to listen to me like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You're going listen to me like it or not
Right now

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I'm doing fine
Even though you preyed upon my mind
Been living a lie
Seems every day it eats me

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah and I need retribution
You don't get it man I'm your pollution

I'm breathing sigh
In passing away I'll take my time
I'm still getting high
I love the way it feeds me

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah and I need retribution
Just don't get it man I'm the solution now

You can't keep me down my friend
You can't keep me down my friend

I'm doing fine
Even though this hatred plagues my mind
I'm living a lie
But I love the way you need me

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah and I need retribution
You don't get it man I'm your pollution

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah now I need retribution
You don't get it man I'm the solution now

Forward yesterday
Makes me wanna stay
What they said was real
Makes me wanna steal
Livin' under house
Guess I'm livin', I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time
Got no meaning, just a rhyme

Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be

Feelin' uninspired
Think I'll start a fire
Everybody run
Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat
Then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing
Guess I'll leave it up to me

Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be

Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be

Don't listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
They say you failed the test
And don’t have what she needs
I slither like a viper
And get you by the neck

I know a thousand ways
To help you forget about her
That b**** can eat her heart out

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites

I look so pale and vicious
You're foaming at the mouth
You suffered in the darkness
I’ll suck the pain right out
So come and taste the reason
Im nothing like the rest

I'll kiss you in a way
You'll never forget about me
That chick can eat her heart out

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
So do I

It takes you in and kicks you down
It chews you up and spits you out
It messes with your sanity
By twisting all your thoughts around
They say it’s blind
They say it waits
But every time it seals your fate
Now it's got you by the balls
And won't let go until you fall

I said hey love, I’ve had enough
I’ve felt pleasure without pain
My soul, you'll never die

Love bites
But so do I

-Solo-

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
So do I

Love bites
And so do I
So do I
Love bites
Love bites

Oh Santa,
I been waiting on you.

Santa:
That's funny kid,
Because I've been coming for you.

Oh Santa,
I been killing just for fun.

Santa:
Well the party's over kid,
Because I...
Because I got a bullet in my gun!

A bullet in your what?!

Santa's got a bullet in his gun
You know it
Santa's got a bullet in his gun

Don't shoot me Santa Clause!
I've been a clean living boy.
I promise you,
Did every little thing you asked me too.
I can't believe the things I'm going through.
Don't shoot me Santa Clause!
For no one else around believes me.
For the children on the block they tease me,
And I couldn't let 'em off that easy.

Oh Santa,
It's been a real hard year.

Santa:
There just ain't no getting around this,
Life is hard, but look at me I turned out alright.

Hey Santa, why don't we talk about it?
Work it out?

Santa:
Believe me, this ain't what I wanted.
I love all you kids, you know that.
Hell I remember when you were just 10 years old,
Playing out there in that desert, just waiting for a sip of that sweet mojave rain.

In the sweet mojave rain,
The boy was on his own.

Don't shoot me Santa Clause!
I've been a clean living boy.
I promise you,
Did every little thing you asked me too.
I can't believe the things I'm going through.
Hey Santa Clause!
No one else around believes me.
The children on the block they tease me,
And I couldn't let 'em off that easy.

They had it coming so why can't you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer.
The sun is going down, Christmas is near.
Just look the other way and I'll disappear forever.

Don't shoot me Santa Clause!
No one else around believes me.
The children on the block they tease me,
And I couldn't let 'em off that easy.

Believe me Santa.

I am watching the rise and fall of my salvation
There's so much s*** around me
Such a lack of compassion
I thought it would be fun and games (it would be fun and games)
Instead, It's all the same (it's all the same)
I want something to do
Need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad

All I do is look for you
I need my fix, you need it too
Just to get some sort of attention, attention
What does it mean to you? (what does it mean to you?)
For me, It's something I just do (I just do)
I want something
I need to feel the sickness in you.

I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad.

I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad.
(Does it make me bad?)
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again.
(Does it make me bad?)
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad.

Does it make me bad?
Does it make me bad?
Does it make me bad?
Does it make me bad?

A-get out, of my way,
Ain't no motherf***er gonna steal my thunder,
No, no way,
I'm all pissed off I'm gonna take you on, no.

Come-on come-on come-on, come on right now.
takin takin takin taking you down,
Then we out when the guns run out,
When the drugs run out, when the guns run out?

Hell Bells, Infidels all part of my crew, all part of my crew.
We're bad motherf***ers and we're looking for you.
Drinking forties all night, and just so you know,
We all wanna know how l-low can you go.

I said woah, race you to the bottom,
Woah, race you to the motherf***ing
Bo-ttom, if you got a problem,
Love to help you solve them, race you to the bottom.

Said hey, who's there,
Who's next on my list, gonna get a big fist,
And no, I don't care,
And I don't feel sorry that it'd come to this.

(Gimme that gimme that gimme that bottle)
(Gimme that gimme that gimme that bottle)

Hell Bells, Infidels all part of my crew, all part of my crew.
We're bad motherf***ers and we're looking for you.
Drinking forties all night, and just so you know,
We all wanna know how l-low can you go.

I said woah, race you to the bottom,
Woah, race you to the motherf***ing
Bo-ttom, if you got a problem,
Love to help you solve them, race you to the bottom.

I said woah, race you to the bottom,
Woah, race you to the motherf***ing
Bo-ttom, if you got a problem,
Love to help you solve them, race you to the bottom.

Woah (hey), race you to the bottom,
Woah (hey), race you to the motherf***ing
Bo-ttom, if you got a problem,
Love to help you solve them, I'll race you to the bottom

... (And the road becomes my bride)
And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

... And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay as slave

Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will -- yeah!

No -- but I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home - yeah!

... (And the earth becomes my throne)
And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will -- yea will!

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home -- yeah-yeah!

(Guitar Solo)

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home -- that's right

(Guitar Solo)

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam -- yeah yeah!
Wherever I may roam (3x)
Wherever I may roam - yeah!
Wherever I may wander wander wander
Wherever I may roam - yeah-yeah!
Wherever I may roam - yeah-yeah!
Wherever I may roam (3x)
