I don't know where I'm from I fell down to this massive earth A naked boy withered and torn And I don't know where to go Alone in this cold universe I fight to get my dollar's worth I do I don't know how to fly, but still I try I spread my wings all mangled from the fall I sing to you, you don't want me to So back inside my hole I climb And wrap up for another try I do I'm gonna try, gonna get back someday I'm gonna fly, gonna... I don't know I'm gonna try, gonna get back someday I'm gonna fly, gonna come home But I don't know where to go I'm trapped in this dark atmosphere I'm living in and trying to breathe through But I can't catch my breath I'm suffocating year by year The tears I cry are choking me to death I'm gonna try, gonna get back someday I'm gonna shed my tears for you I'm gonna try, gonna get back someday I'm gonna find my way back to you

The Alder tree's come down And people are gathering 'round the branches left below Washed out faces of snow No more tears No more tears Walking down the road filled with people I know The banker's found his loan The maker's getting her own No more tears No more tears Sad people crowding the streets I walk every day Every day of the week Sad faces walking the crowds Wishing I could turn it all around Sad people everywhere I'm fine though and sometimes it's fair To be the one to whom nothing is wrong Just for a while 'til I'm walking along with my tears With my tears With my tears With my tears

I would be it for you I would do anything at all I would fight hell for you So why do I keep stumbling And you do for me everything I need You do for me all I could ask from you at all I would be it for you I would do anything at all I would fight hell for you So why do I keep stumbling And you do for me everything I need You do for me all I could ask from you at all

Serpent 03:09
Serpent wraps around Time and time again in a round Circling the air held me down Sky is white, but ever black cloud Serpent wraps around Serpent wraps around Time and time again in a round Circling the air held me down Sky is white, but ever black cloud Serpent wraps around Serpent search around me And I slowly going crazy Take his tail and wrap around me In a dance to please the ladies In a dance to please the ladies Serpent wrap around Serpent wraps around Serpent wraps around Time and time again in a round Circling the air held me down Sky is white, but ever black cloud Serpent wraps around Serpent search around me And I slowly going crazy Take his tail and wrap around me In a dance to please the ladies In a dance to please the ladies Serpent wraps around Serpent search around me And I slowly going crazy Take his tail and wrap around me In a dance to please the ladies In a dance to please the ladies Serpent wraps around Serpent wraps around

Michele 01:17
Michele, I need to tell you What I think of what you've done Driving down the AlCan was awful fun What happened to you? Was it your mama dying that did this to you? Guess I'm only trying to get through to you But I know now it's too late She's gone and so's your baby

Maybe I can't hold you the way you should be held Maybe I can't rip you to shreds thanks to fears of youth Maybe I can, maybe I can't Maybe I can break you Maybe I can't, maybe I can Maybe you will change soon All jokes aside I'm watching skin dry Bone powdering inside Watching time fly by The mirror's got a hold of me and won't let go I fight for more control I end up lost inside my mind I've lost my mind Maybe we could run away Maybe we should stay Maybe we should set on fire this fucked up place Maybe you should Maybe I should Maybe not so bright I'm not that bright I'm not so bright All jokes aside I'm watching skin dry Bone powdering inside Watching time fly by The mirror's got a hold of me and won't let go I fight for more control I end up lost inside my mind I've lost my mind All jokes aside I'm watching skin dry Bone powdering inside Watching time fly by The mirror's got a hold of me and won't let go I fight for more control I end up lost inside my

I've came on the hand of a man Who's wife would rather see him dead I've grabbed his ass to make him feel Like he was young again I had been planted in a courtyard Bare of tree and plant and then I've had a doctor try and see What's fucked up in my head We are the models of future of disasters We are the children of the night We are the men who choke on dicks to pay the rent And we will take you down tonight We are the models of future of disasters We are the children of the night We are the men who choke on dicks to pay the rent And we will take you down tonight We are the models of future of disasters We are the children of the night We are the men who choke on dicks to pay the rent And we will take you down tonight

Lost 03:22
I've tried to write down in words how I'm feeling Never works I've tried to write what I mean to say to you Never works And now I'm lost for words I've lost myself Tried to get back on track Tried to die and come back I've tried to cry and move on I don't know how I'm lost And I can't stop loving you Wish you still loved me too I cry to myself every day You resent me I can't pay for anything I've tried my best to show you That I want to be there for you And you're howling at the moon While I'm killing us both I know we'll make it through We just need to be there for me and you

Fur. 04:52
Here in the land that casts no shadow Rooting to concrete, fire grapples me Here in the land of flesh for fodder Frozen beneath the dimly litten sea Climb as I reach for fur I'm fallin' down As I reach for fur I'm fallen down Climb as I reach for fur I'm fallin'down As I reach for fur I'm fallen down In Malebolge Bending at seams nothing's as it seems in Malebolge Falling up to me Crawling up to me This is the town that casts no shadow Burning wenches keep your company Here is a land of rotting carcass Burning beneath the hand of God and me Climb as I reach for fur I'm fallin' down As I reach for fur I'm fallen down Climb as you reach for fur You're fallin' down As you reach for fur you're fallen down In Malebolge Bending at seams nothing's as it seems in Malebolge Falling up to me Crawling up to me

March Song 02:50
Hey kid, I'm looking at you Through windows covered in rain Hey kid, I know about you We've both been through this pain But I'm getting away I'm gonna lead the march Hey kid, it'll be okay We've been there covered in flames Hey kid, I know about you And I don't like to watch you this way So let's get away We'll lead the march I'm getting away And I'm gonna lead the march

Tracing wrinkled skin with tears She was a dying beauty Trapped in magazine spreads From the day that she was 13 Drowned in whiskey and gin To hide her sorrows She pulled the curtains back a bit And took the stage And you can shake me down And you can throw me around But I won't stop 'til the lights go down Looking back on all her years She was disappointed Never found the man She dreamed of in her lone apartment Chasing back her gin with tears And an old home movie Tracing back through her years To see where things were lost And you can shake me down And you can throw me around But I won't stop 'til the light go down And you can shake me down And you can throw me around But I won't stop 'til the light go down And I won't stop 'til the party's out
