Rusty Cage

You wired me awake and hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain to watch my blood begin to boil
But I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Too cold to start a fire, I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Hits like a Phillips head into my brain
It's gonna be too dark to sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

When the forest burns along the road
Like God's eyes in my headlights
When the dogs are looking for their bones
And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break, I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Outshined

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

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 till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling, I'm feeling outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined

Someone let the dogs out, they'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener where the dogs are shedding
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
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 till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling, I'm feeling outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
BR> So now you know who gets mystified

Slaves & Bulldozers

Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking, now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking, now I know why you've been shaking

So bleed your heart out, there's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out, I said what's in it for me
What's in it for me

Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Burying lies and stealing jokes and laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken, now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken, now I know why you've been taken

So bleed your heart out, there's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out, I said what's in it for me
What's in it for me

Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Burying lies and stealing jokes and laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken, now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken, now I know why you've been taken

Jesus Christ Pose

And you stare at me in your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me you don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me like I, like I need to be saved, saved
Like I need to be saved, saved
In your Jesus Christ pose, in your Jesus Christ pose

Arms held out in your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud like it's the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you that I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me like I'm, like I'm driving the nails, nails
Like I'm, like I'm driving the nails, nails, nails
Like I'm driving the nails

In your Jesus Christ pose, in your Jesus Christ pose

And you stare at me in your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like it's the coming of the Lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor
In your Jesus Christ pose, in your Jesus Christ pose

Face Pollution

I can count it on my fingers
I've got all my reasons not to feel
I'm numb as rigor mortis
Scared by monkey faces, drowned in shark fins
But I don't feel like feeling, don't feel like feeling
Don't feel like feeling, feeling like you

Now I'm in the mirror
Now it's getting clear
I fear that I'm in you
Now I'm into plastics
Now I've made a mask
It looks like fish heads
But I don't feel like feeling, don't feel like feeling
Don't feel like feeling, feeling like you
I don't feel like feeling, don't feel like feeling
Don't feel like feeling, feeling like you

Face pollution, face pollution
Face pollution, face pollution
Face pollution, face pollution

Somewhere

I wish to wish and I dream to dream
I try to try and I live to live
And I die to die and I cry to cry

Somewhere in my dreams things that should
Still the willow weeps on roses for the dead
In laughs of love, from the likes of her to the time of me
Like to moon to earth or the sky to sea
Only we're no longer allowed to be, to be

Somewhere in the dreams of those who should
Live in all the keeps, echo all the worlds
In laughs of love

For times that pass my life, I'll search for the sky
That she wanders by somewhere in the dreams that the skies hold
Still the willow weeps on roses for her bed, in laughs of love

Somewhere in my dreams things that should
Still the willow weeps on roses for the dead
In laughs of love

Searching With My Good Eye Closed

Painted blue across my eyes and tie the linen on
And I'm on my way, on my way
Looking for the paradigm so I can pass it off
Is it on my side, on my side
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down

Searching for a ground with my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride would you take it wrong
Or would you make it right, make it right
Looking for a pedestal that I can put you on
And be on my way, on my way
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground with my good eye closed, my good eye closed

Stop you're trying to bruise my mind
I can do it on my own
Stop you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time
If I'm hiding or I'm lost
But I'm on my way, on my way
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky
Is it to the sky, is it to the sky

Room A Thousand Years Wide

Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine

It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
Tomorrow began tomorrow
Tomorrow began tomorrow

A thousand doors a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
I walk in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
Tomorrow began tomorrow
Tomorrow began tomorrow

Tomorrow began tomorrow

Mind Riot

I was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a third world war
And the police said this was normal control
Candles burning yesterday
Somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot

I was crying from my eye teeth and bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just to stamp out the coals
Candles burning yesterday
Somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within

Candles burning yesterday
Somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
In the pouring down wind, in the wind

Drawing Flies

Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes
With X's in my eyes and drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes
With X's in my eyes, and drawing flies

Hey what you yellin' about, conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction
Hey what you yellin' about sadist's, co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin' about conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes and drawing flies

Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes
With X's in my eyes, and drawing flies

Holy Water

Holy water on the brain and I'm losing sleep
Holy bible on the night stand next to me
As I'm raped by another monkey circus freak
Trying to take my indignance away from me, from me

Holy water is rusting me
Holy water is rusting me
Rusting me
Rusting me

Bloody murder is the best I've heard her scream
Holy devil in the flesh some might believe
And they take thine majesty so seriously
Cause it's the big lies more likely to be believed, believed

Holy water is rusting me
Holy water is rusting me
Is rusting me

Damn the water if it's life you want to drink
Mind your mother if it makes you feel at ease
As you're raped by another monkey circus freak
Cause it's the big lies more likely to be believed

Holy water is rusting me
Holy water is rusting me
Is rusting me
Rusting me
Rusting me
Rusting me
