Tusk And Temper Bedeck your gown in bricks There's leeches stealing across the stage Come hell or ocean water I won't end up without Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow As saline drips from her prom dress, damp hands are desiccated There's a wolf at the window of the second floor who kidnaps your date with a new car We both want the same thing Bad poetry and assaults at the bar Just try and stop me We are the only one in the world Prepare the ballroom Quicksand in front of the coat check Waltz with the scarecrow in the spotlight through the rye I was born a wanted man But I'll die a sailor's wife God help me pick the lock to her room I have to make this right Scream the hounds to sleep for me I'm creeping around in your head like a vine Your spit is the meat of the rose harvested by the dull Let fly the doves, unhook their leather wings from the fog Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam In a photo taken of us, at the recpetion held at the jail Loverboy is breaking up just off to the right side of me I will stop at nothing I am the siren that sings you home Is that clear? I will stop at nothing I am the tooth in your jewelery box Is that clear? Let pry the crows Unhinge their crooked beaks from the clock Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam Bolt the gate and head for ivory tower Adoration is cutting the phone lines to your heart Love is here I am the snarling and starry-eyed We both want the same thing Better aim at the stranger in our yard Just try to stop me I am the blinding light of your life Prepare the body I've been better but thanks for asking Wait with the scarecrow for the spotlight in the rye I'll eat you alive The calm will come again

The New Black Baby, you got me all wrong And maybe I am not at all down and out I'm high and I'm in Don't you know who I am? I'm the jaded one with pop insensitivity When I finish struggling, we can make our way to the dance floor and stand like strangers in an elevator stuck between stories I always find myself in the middle of your stories With the cameras as a witness I will suffer Everything I do is wrong But by God I do it right We don't dance no no no We got class No we don't have any fun at all It's the new style and we know it We're not stunning, we just stunned and we're lying for a living Don't you know who I am? I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities I don't need what I've got half as much as everyone covets it If loving me is wrong, then god you do it right It turns us on to turn you down

Easy Tiger How you gonna get up if you ain't never been down? How you gonna move on if you ain't never had enough? Give the signal Advance the pill pushers Administer a change purse full of thorazine Show this girl a little bar courtesy and keep her senses clear of the scene We've found a gentleman caller who goes by the name she's been weeping for Turn her over Easy in easy out We've nearly got this situation stabilized Just some winces to eradicate Take a deep breath Cut the blue wire Keep your fingers crossed and pray she's been detached She stirs and I'm emasculated Doctor! Doctor! Give her the blues She got herself a varsity letter by loving you Breach and clear the abandoned back seat of the Cadillac We've been altered by the local authorities that regret has been seen on the grounds teasing the dogs, making the rounds There's a heart shaped bed in the honeymoon ward that circulates dust Twitches and vomits in fits like the damned Comforts none but the sloth Yet we pay by the hour for the bricklayers view Johnny, dream of your gun Goddamit it Commander, she's a hopeless case Note the time she arrived I didn't think we would lose another one to the sound There were too many fangs for us to tame Someone fetch her blue eyes From a restroom wall downtown She stirs We underestimated Doctor! Doctor! Give me the news She caught herself a cause of the wilds by loving you She caught a bad case of the wilds and she flatlines

Bored Stiff I was wrong, close one I am wrong I said it I was wrong, I mean it Did it stick? Come down from there I know it's hard to swallow, when your head is overturned Hey there girls, I'm a There was venom in the heart of the dagger They found a worm in your pearls saying prayers All is finally infested, unless we blossomed in the in the cankerous air Then only hell can help us I got off, just once, you were right I admit it We weren't soft, just better Do you flinch? Keep that radio dry, I'm sorry you were all mine Let the boys find your body Let love gnaw the meat from your bones Admit the arrows, suffer the hot flash We come together now All together now

Apocalypse Now And Then You got me right where you wanted me So what do we do if I can't hold this pose for too long? Do we shoot again, or does the whole operation shut down and we go back to the board? I practiced all my lines, oh yea I'd feed every child in the world But it's a one night stand baby We gotta keep on If you got it all then you got it right I'm gonna do what you say and get way out of line Nobody's gonna stop me now It's not how it looks unless you saw nothing We all agree this proposal's been sentenced to death Are we baiting the right hook to catch your attention? The media needs another blackout We've been calling Flooding hotlines We've applied mascara to the radio but that's just a quick fix and we need a little more Does it matter to you at all? Are you listening or have you tuned out? We've gotta get it together But first we drink and we take it all apart Everywhere we go we're the local boys and we're back in town Well that's the way it is It breaks my heart We've applied mascara to the radio, but that's just a quick fix and we need a little more Does it matter to you at all? Are you listening or have you tuned out? Get by Get gone Get high Get wronged

Gutter Phenomenon Kill The Music Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover Dumb and pulsing we've become The bedroom door is an old black lung It's arrhythmic Uninviting and pliable With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us Bore into our head and found thoughlessness Never minded the faithless courage of shame or the bravery of oblivion, I'm on her mind and I'm never coming back If two timing is what it takes then we both know one take is all we need We're not equipped to stay unloved But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright Come on baby and give me the creeps Either you or I or both must go Either you or I or both must go I'm on her mind and I'm never coming back If two timing is what it takes then we both know one take is all we need We're not equipped to stay unloved But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright There's no difference between being holy and alone That's why I'm eagerly fleeing the scene Lead footed Baby return the favor and leave somebody you love If they come back they're drunk and they're lonely We all get lonely God forbid we indulge when at sea Just the tempest, the temptress and me Naturally bored thriller Nobody knows the trouble I've been or the exacting improvement of sin I'm handing myself over I'm turning myself in War has no glory like a woman ignored So here's to the empires polluted with dead And the truckers wives who erected them I know the stripper's real name Stop me if I'm wrong

Ocean If the wind could bring the rain I would save it all for you Make an ocean to sail away and begin again They said i could never change That i cant belong to you Than i watched you sip away in the oceans arms I'll never get you back. Its like fallin down a wave, Fallin down a wave If a star could light the way That could take me back to you And the rain could wash away Everything ive done Only melody remains So i sing my song to you As i watched you slip away in the oceans arms I will never get you back

When Angels Fly Away I'll make a soldiers decision to fly away Load my gun, paint my face, call me misery I can see the sky light up and the ground explode Got my sights locked in i can see you breathe Then i watched you fall and somebody scream Its the saddest thing when angels fly away I cant be home tonight, i'll make it back its allright Could ever love me half as good as you Gotta badge for my scars just the other day Wore it proud for the sake of my sanity I could see the flames burn bright from the windin road Like a haunting page from our history Watched a young girl cry and her mother scream Its the saddest thing when angels fly away I cant be home tonight, i'll make it back its allright Noone could ever love me half as good as you If you cant be strong tonight, love makes you sad its allright Noone could ever worry half as good as you

Tell Me Why I could see her fall from grace Like a movie star to old to change her life With a bottle by her head Every night she went away I would pray for someone else to change her life If she wouldnt change for me Tell me why. please tell me why. you stole my life Tired of hearing the same old song Everytime you came back frozen deep inside Was it my love that you feared I was a misfit all the way Never there to help me grow and change my life Then you smiled and walked away All the lil things she said to me Were broken thoughts and tainted dreams If she cant take these memories It doesnt change a thing Every lil word she said to me That broke my heart and stayed with me I wish that she could hear me scream She never changed a thing This cant go on!

When Heaven’s Not Far Away If you slip away in dark ness do you fall And if god created love, did he make it for everyone Is there solitude and hope can you still dream If the devil makes you cry do you change? In my own shame when heavens not far away Do the lil things in life stay with you soul Does an angel hold a sign with directions for everyone Is there someone there to have and hold for me If the stars refuse to shine do you change?

Happens All The Time I still hang on every word in the world of faded memories where your still in love with me I can see it in your eyes you look as if your major Tom has lost control I must hold on This happens all the time I still find my faith in you I cant hold on this happens all the time I still find my way to you If a dreams all that ive got then I wish your in a fairy tale where your still in love with me I could see it in your eyes the look as if your hero fell and lost his soul I must hold on This happens all the time I still find my faith in you I cant hold on this happens all the time I still find my way to you... To you... To you... To you... I must hold on This happens all the time I still find my faith in you I cant hold on this happens all the time I still find my way to you

A Different Kind Of Pain Before i let you go Give me just one more night to show you Just how i feel I lost all my control If it takes my whole damnned life i'll Make this up to you Im kinda like the waves that roll their whole life Towards somewhere crashing it on the shore Thats blown in by the wind that carries the clouds To hide my wish on a fallen star A different kind of pain, is someone there to hold you Is someone there to take you away from me I tried to let you go I wish i could turn back time and show You just how i feel I needed you to know If it takes my whole damned life i'll Make this up to you Before you let me go, i needed you to know

The Calm That Killed The Storm Its when my world comes down You wanna change your lil ways Tommorrows another start But it looks like evryday You cant imagine how i wished that You could be the one Inside you were not the same But you look like evryone Its like a tidal wave that rose to take The stars A hurricane that wrapped around my heart If i could find away i'd make a brand new start I cant believe it was the calm that Killed the storm Inside you broke my heart and took a lil piece of me Maybe one day we'll try again But it wont ever be the same If i dont hold on now Everything fades and slips away Tommorrows another start but it looks like everyday

Feel It In Your Heart Can't run away from love if yo cannot feel Everything falls apart in a tragedy I am so far away from gone I just wanna be here Everyone forms apart in my symphony Can you feel this in your heart Can you take it to your soul I dont want you to pretend I dont wanna be alone Feels like im torn apart And i cannot bleed Caught in the web you made This just cant be real I am so far away from gone I just wanna be here Everyone falls apart in this tragedy I dont wanna be alone Inside ive changed Everyday i'll live through this alone

Mechanic God Creation The human race Like a chromatic stain Lost in concrete fields Hybrids of steel Mechanic god creation Enter annihilation We are rendered obselete Just a relic at their feet Not cold enough - too human The doomsday machine Created by man Like a black dawn rising To conquer - conquer and destroy Mechanic god creation enter annihilation Climbing the walls The walls are too high They swallow the sun Ebony sky Lead - Michael Amott We are rendered obselete Just a relic at their feet Not cold enough - too human Outro Lead - Christopher Amott

Skeleton Dance On a journey ill My mind floats astray Over withered fields I cross the river This shortness of breath Between birth and grave Fading in the distance I am nothing Watch the skeleton dance Dancing on my grave My frozen hour of death Watch the skeleton dance On my grave My frozen hour of death Here I am alone Casting my own shadows Traversing the mundane Desperate cry Boundless darkness A voiceless fear Unheard, unseen It is coming near Watch the skeleton dance Dancing on my grave My frozen hour of death Watch the skeleton dance Here I am - alone Had I not known That I was dead I would have mourned My loss of life Loss of life Lead - Michael Amott Watch the skeleton dance Dancing on my grave My frozen hour of death Watch the skeleton dance On my grave My frozen hour of death Between birth and grave Here I am alone

Carry The Cross We walk through the ages The world on our shoulders The burden we carry To the dark end of our days A thousand eyes watching every step we are taking waiting to see us struggle and fall And when we are beaten The cross holds us down I hear them laughing And walking away Carry the Cross And suffer the loss Hear my confession Forever damnation Reincarnation Bleeding forever Recover the pain Pain gives me strength Pick up the cross And carry it on Over and over the wheel turns again And when we are beaten The cross holds us down Ihear them laughing And walking Away Carry the cross And suffer the loss Hearmy confession Forever damnation

My Apocalypse Sudden implosion of silenced emotions Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long Delusions of hope fading away Dying like leaves on frozen soil My apocalypse is near I can feel the end...coming here Neglecting existence repulse and repent An endless journey into the morbid Whispering voices distorting all senses Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long My apocalypse is near I can feel the end...coming here Lead - Michael Amott The bitter taste of a dying dream Shine the light on our shadows and illusions Lead - Chistopher Amott
