Forgotten thoughts of yesterday
Through my eyes I see the past

Well I don't know I don't know I don't know why
I believe I believe I believe in the truth, from inside
Go away go away go away from me
Leave me alone
Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money bye
Well I'll take my time as I drift and die

Unwanted live my life a shame
Who's to blame for my mistakes

[chorus]

As I drift and die [x2]

Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money bye
Well I'll take my time
As I drift and die [x5]

There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say
There's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

There's a place where nothing seems to be
A simple night of easy life
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way
We got a million thoughts we can't complain
It's all your life, all your life

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

These things don't happen here, another fictional reality
It's all your mind, all your mind
It's just as good as any other day
I'm gonna teach you about mortality
Now it's not right, it's not right

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

In many ways I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I'm a lot more roomier than most
I took my second chance, just enjoy the dance
And found out who we are
Let's find out what we are, never leave asking why

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away, I know why you're running away

Load up on guns, bring your friends,
It's fun to lose and to pretend.
She's over-bored and self-assured,
Oh, no, I know a dirty word.

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello...

With the lights out, it's less dangerous,
Here we are now, entertain us.
I feel stupid and contagious,
Here we are now, entertain us.

A mulatto, an albino,
A mosquito, my libido...
Yeah, hey, yay...

I'm worse at what I do best,
And for this gift, I feel blessed.
Our little group has always been,
And always will until the end.

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello...

With the lights out, it's less dangerous,
Here we are now, entertain us.
I feel stupid and contagious,
Here we are now, entertain us.

A mulatto, an albino,
A mosquito, my libido...
Yeah, hey, yay...

And I forget just why I taste,
Oh, yeah, I guess it makes me smile.
I found it hard, it's hard to find,
Oh, well, whatever, never mind.

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello...

With the lights out, it's less dangerous,
Here we are now, entertain us.
I feel stupid and contagious,
Here we are now, entertain us.

A mulatto, an albino,
A mosquito, my libido...

A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial

I lost everything
I fell out of a daydream
At the door of a long lost friend
And I cried aloud
Without an inch of pride
I knew I had reached the end

An old and lonely man
Saw me sittin on the curb
He reached out an took my hand
He said I know your song
And I know your name
And there was a time that I felt the same

But it's a low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again

I held on so dearly
To the wrong things in my life
But now I see so clearly
I was walking into my own knife
You've got to get up off that street
Stop looking at your feet
And take a hold of something real
And this old man, took my hand
He looked at me and said, little girl, I understand

That it's a low low road
You’ve gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again

And there was a time that I thought that I knew it all
And there was a place that I thought I could call my own
But it all came crashing down and I looked around
And I knew that things would never be the same

Low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You’ve gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again

It's a low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again
Cause it's a low, low road
You've gotta roll down
It's a low, low road

Ever feel like dying?
Ever feel alone?
Ever feel like crying?
Lost child in a store
Ever feel life pushing?
Shoving you away
Ever feel like breaking down?
Funeral in the rain

Feel like slipping away

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head that's full of rage - Better believe it
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind thats like a fire
Drivin by the pain - Better believe it

Ever feel like lying?
Down inside a grave
Listen to the eulogy
A pyre of the hay
Ever danced beside the devil?
Taste the barrel of a gauge
Ever pulled the trigger?
The light begins to fade

Feel life slipping away

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head thats full of rage - Better believe it,
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind thats like a fire
Drivin by the pain - Better believe it

I've asked you for forgiveness
I've asked you for your grace
I've asked you for your blessing
I've asked that I be saved

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head thats full of rage - Better believe it

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head thats full of rage - Better believe it,
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind thats like a fire
Drivin by the pain - Better believe it

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head thats full of rage - Better believe it
Drivin by the pain - Better believe it

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb, in bloom

Down in a hole, and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now, a man Who won't let himself be

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole, and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
In a tomb
(Oh I want to be inside)

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Losing my soul
Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted in a daze

It should seem obvious to you
Your screams and cries are never going to work
And all of your time gets wasted in my daze

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted in a daze

Maybe I'm just too damn lazy
Or maybe I was just brainwashed to think that way
And all of your time gets wasted in my daze

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

I'm looking back now at
Where I have, have gone wrong
And why I could not seem
Could not seem to get along

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

(We're rolling "suicide")
Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup (hide the scars to fade away the)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?

Here you go, create another fable
You wanted to grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to hide the scars to fade away the shakeup

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table

I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die

using your hands to murder to fasten minds
that feel no mercy and who knows us
who knows us?
bound by diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?
now who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?

(Solo - Werstler)

bound by
diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

awe-inspired by murder
to trample dead
those who are subject to torture
and to hinder
to hinder

(Solo - Levi)

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to
Flush it all away
Any f***ing time, any f***ing day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And fret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
And fret for your contract
And fret for your car
It's a bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to
Flush it all away
Any f***ing time, any f***ing day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips***s

And some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid s***
Silly s***
Stupid s***

One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied

'Cause I'm praying for mayhem
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down

Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away

Yeah, time to bring it down again
Yeah, don't just call me a pessimist
Try and read between the lines
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend

I wanna see it come down
Plug it down
Suck it down
Flush it down

There's a screened-in porch in the front, but not in the back. The back's just got a door and a crepe myrtle bush, and a little old dried-up garden, and some woods way on back. There's a hickory nut tree that covers the whole roof. Sounds like hand grenades hitting the tin roof all the time. There's an old wood floor that's bowed-up just about everywhere. It's got a thin coat of white stuff on it, even though it's a dark wood floor. There's a washing machine right outside the back door. It's a ringer washer, the kind they don't use any more. I got my hand caught it in several times and usually got my arse whipped for it, even though I was the one that got hurt. There's a snake stick, that's what they called it anyway, by the back door. 'Cause if you wanted to go outside, you'd usually need it. Everything's green most of the time, except in the winter when you could see the highway. It's not a leaf on the trees. There's an old rock well where we clean the squirrels. I used to sit out there by that and watch the Carbur girl come down the road.

She didn't have but one dress and that's all she needed. It was kind of red and kind of grey, kind of tore-up and kind of perfect. She was built like a brick s*** house. She had polish on her toenails, it only went about half-way down 'cause they was always tore-up. She used to walk across the side yard right by the well and go stand by the crepe myrtle bush and look in the screen door. She'd usually stand there for about ten minutes, and back then I wasn't sure what she wanted. These days I understand. If I'd have known then what I know now, well, my life might have been pretty different. Well, she was about eight or nine years older than I was when I first started school. I knew there was something. There's something about the south, the air is a lot heavier, and it seems like the women sweat, even when they're not.

I don't know if you've ever heard rain on a tin roof or not, but it's kind of tailor made for love. And one day I was in the house and I was looking back toward the back screen-door and there she was. Standing there for ten minutes. The only thing different this day is that my daddy went back there and talked to her. He told her she looked pretty. I thought the same thing, but there's something about the look in his eye that was a little different than the one I had in mine. And he walked outside and they went past the crepe myrtle bush and past the well and out into the green. And I walked to the back door and I watched for a long time. All I could see was trees. And after a time, I really couldn't count, and they came back out. And my daddy was walking way ahead of her, and she was kind of following, almost running. He acted like he didn't want to have anything to do with her and I was wondering why. Why would you be so happy going in and so down coming out? I don't know. That's what I thought then. He didn't act like she was so pretty any more. Now I think I get it. I think I've got it several times.

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feeling, thieving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie)
You bought the same old

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie beyond)
You bought the same old trip
