i steal luck from the rich to give to the poor
then they waste it and scream at me begging for more
they are ungrateful junkies unlucky and empty
but there's not enough luck in this world to tempt me
so i take my chances and walk under ladders
well they tell me there's ghosts but i don't believe
and they say there's a purpose well it's one i can't see
and that's so typical and obviously
there just will not be any convincing me
i think we're sailing blind through uncharted waters
i woke the sleepers i dug the graves
i told their secrets then i lied when i prayed
i cleaned out the cupboards i cut the loss
i took your stomach and tied it in knots
now i'm searching for an answer in a diary i've stolen
i've got a demon inside of me
i've got a demon inside of me
now the devil can find me
i've got a demon inside of me
i'll let your trouble surround me
i'll let your trouble surround me
i'll let your apathy drown me
i'll let your trouble surround me
i got a woman that hates me
i got a woman that needs me
well there's one that escaped me
and i got a woman that bleeds me

Therapy

am i looking at you
like you are a mirror again?
cause that's my expression that you're wearing
and at my reflection that i'm staring
and i look tired
no, you look tired
i'm just looking
there's a poison in me
a virus living
a parasitic jealousy and it's feeding
on my sanity and feasting on my reason
so i write
one more dirge to try to purge
to get it out with useless words
that makes it more and more absurd
i persevere, undeterred
now we're gonna play
a word association game
tell me what you think of, when i say
apple
pride
mother
fucker
interesting, very interesting.

Dry
02:53
|
|||
|
that's so uncomfortable
decisions turning on a whim, on a knife edge
the tap is dripping
the dust is falling
on the carpet, on my nerves
you leave me dry
take pride in the fall
savour the dust in your nostrils
the cuts on your hands
the smoking wreck of your dignity
you should embrace the disappointment
all of the shame and counterpoint it
with the triumph, ecstacy and satisfaction of getting up again
you leave me dry

Open Heart Surgery
03:55
|
|||
|
place one foot in front of the other
it's your last attempt, to leave your lover
don't stop or look back
find some help before you have a heart attack
then just
leave them to wait
while you make your escape
dont stop running 'til you're sure that you're safe
'cause if you get away now you can save pain later
run away to the beat of your heart's pacemaker
so then you can relax, make yourself comfortable
let it go and leave it to me, then you'll see
you dont need to be loveable
you just need a little open heart surgery
i got steady hands now, so you don't need to watch
the battle in your heart, you'll surely know when it stops
you just relax
i'll patch up the cracks
it's my professional opinion, that one more break
will be one too many for this heart to take
so if you give it away into someone's care make 'em swear
to keep it safe

Steady, as she goes
03:50

maybe i take it all back
maybe i've let it all go
maybe i'm getting off track
maybe i'll never know
and it doesn't really matter
i say i don't need anyone's help
i say i don't have any problems
i say i don't need anyone else
every day and night i pretend
that i'm better off without you
i know i should give it more time
but i can only fool myself for so long
and that is why i had to ask
because i can't remember what was so wrong
or what i thought i needed
so we take it slow
i'll keep laying low
stay steady, as she goes
somewhere i don't know
i can dodge a bullet alright
but my luck has got to run out soon
it's got to get me through one more fight
'cause this time i'm fighting for you
and you are too much to lose
i just want you to be here
quiet and safe in my arms
where i can watch over you
we can forget about what has been done
baby come back to me

Decorate
04:37
|

|
let's fucking go
let's elope
thrust the fact in front of your family
and see how they cope
will they fight in their factions
or finally lose all hope?
for this love unconditional
no one can tell
but the whole world, i have noticed
has a problem with keeping its big mouth shut
i seem to have lost my place
maybe we'll never come back
i seem to have lost my place
there's no need to take fresh looks at old battlescars
when i need to keep safe my place in your heart
let it ride
this is the time of your life
let me lay it out one more time
then let's go already, let's just go already
a slow and steady leave
we'll just slip off while no one is watching
slip off while no one can see us or stop us
this is a golden time
we're all in its glorious hold
so just sit back and you will be comfortably
covered in gold
i was left in a cardboard box
with a raincoat
and some rusty nails so i could hammer it into the wall
where i'm sure it looks no good at all
and then likely in no time at all it will fall
to decorate my floor

she says business and pleasure can be kept apart
you've got to seperate your body from the business of your heart
you can rent her for a time, if you pay the price she's yours
if i could have her to myself i tell you man i'd sell my soul
'cause i can't let her go
and she says,
"baby you're the only one i love.
you've got my heart and that should be enough."
she says that it's different when she does it with me
'cause i'm the only one that gets it gets it gets it for free
but i keep coming back to the fact that i cannot ignore
it's all those other men that must have been there before
still i can't let her go
and she says,
"baby you're the only one i love
you got my heart and that should be enough."

Last Gift
04:15
|
|||
|
its wrapped up for you
paper and superglue
a burden and a gift
the last one on my list
enlist me to do all your dirty work
up in arms and hungry to see one last bit of me
well i say deserved or not it must be done
to minimize the body count, and extract satisfaction
to get a reaction
there must be more ways than going down in flames

Simple Man Jack
02:40

Jack was a simple man more rhyme than reason
he believed in fidelity and the turn of the seasons
he trusted his lady, pure like a child
'til a stranger came to town and turned Jack's girl wild
it wasnt so hard for the stranger to entrance and delight her
she followed when he left just like the pied piper
with a word and a tune, played on his guitar
something simple and foolish like
"la la la la"
so Jack bid her good riddance, out into the world
and he swore himself off liquor, cigarettes and girls
that vow lasted a year and a day
but the abstinence built up a debt to be paid
so he bought some tobacco, paper and flame
and he went to the bar to get tipsy, and to get laid
drunk in his socks, showing off his scars
he sang simple and foolish
"la la la la"
Jack blazed a path through the town's women and booze
and he refound his pride, dignity and shoes
the moral of Jack, (once a pure and simple man
who'd kept all his promises and still he was damned)
there's no inheritence for the meek, no justice for the mild
everything goes to those who are wild
with a word and a tune, played on their guitar
something simple and foolish, like
"la la la la"

Relentless Temptress

relentless temptress
am i asking for it, gasping
you kiss me like you've got a cigarette craving
i'm nervous, excited and suffocating
hit me like a full-blooded, unexpected pistol-shot slap
my face tingles and stings, but don't we boys just love that
