You'll Be Sorry 02:34
lyrics

You can lie to my face Turn this love into hate You can try to erase All the files that I saved Go ahead burn the tapes Steal the cash from my safe Then I will find you When you least expect me to I will stand behind you And you'll be sorry when I do You can lie to my friends Tell the world it's the end Throw my clothes in the trash Burn my house into ash You can act like a whore To try and even the score But then I will find you When you least expect me to I will stand behind you And you'll be sorry when I do I will come and find you When you least expect me to I will stand behind you And you'll be sorry when I do

She doesn't hear a word I say It goes through one ear and out the other I don't feel that I should stay You've made it clear I'm not your lover I get the picture now (I'm slow) I get the picture now (I'm slow) I get the picture now (I'm slow) I get the picture now (I'm slow) She doesn't give a damn about me It's her world and I'm the sucker I don't care what others think But I sure wish I didn't love her I get the picture now (I'm slow) I get the picture now (I'm slow) I get the picture now (I'm slow) I get the picture now (I'm slow)

The light that keeps me awake at night The girl who travelled into my mind The martyr died so that he'd be free From earthly chains and the lunacy Of never knowing your maker I've been meaning to take her To the land of the apple trees Eve would love me forever We'd be so happy together A black abyss made for you and me I turned my back to our maker 'Cuz I've been meaning to take her To the land of the apple trees Eve would love me forever We'd be so happy together A black abyss made for you and me The darkness comes in the form of love The devil came from the moon above I miss her scent And her pale soft skin The snake gives me the desire to sin They say that Christ died so we'd be free From passion Pleasure Perversity I turned my back on our maker 'Cuz I've been meaning to take her To the land of the apple trees Eve would love me forever We'd be so happy together A black abyss made for you and me I turned my back to our maker 'Cuz I've been meaning to take her To the land of the apple trees Eve would love me forever We'd be so happy together A black abyss made for you and me

Born in Charleston 02:18

She's got a country heart And a southern soul I gaze into her eyes And see that rock n' roll The blue-green shine She's always in control Her laughter carries far Along the eastern coast Lilac Purple owl My pastel painting In the gloaming We'll embrace And sleep till morning She is my only friend The one I trust the most I don't need Mom and Dad I want the words she wrote When I was down and out I'd lost my will to cope She kissed me on my mouth And then she told a joke Lilac Purple owl My pastel painting In the gloaming We'll embrace And sleep till morning Lilac Purple owl My pastel painting In the gloaming We'll embrace And sleep till morning

Monument 03:50

We are the conquerors The demon banshee An American army The hole where punks sleep Reliving childhood We fight for freedom The beast within us Hides where they can't see him It's breaking my heart Things fall apart But we play We're lost in the dark But we will survive anyway Our path is righteous We know we'll beat them 'Cuz we're the heroes Ruling this plantation We have to rise up Before they hear us We yell and scream out That there's no Jesus It's breaking my heart Things fall apart But we play We're lost in the dark But we will survive anyway It's breaking my heart Things fall apart But we play We're lost in the dark But we will survive anyway

Beer cans And motor homes Camp fires And styrofoam Bloodied hands A dial tone We travel light When we're alone Trial by fire Weak but breathing Healing vapors Smoke curls along the ceiling Born to lose We stop at night For feeding We're almost there We'll make it home Broken glass The perfect tent Camouflage And Percocet We disappear Into the night The fireflies Are shining bright Trial by fire Weak but breathing Healing vapors Smoke curls along the ceiling Born to lose We stop at night For feeding We're almost there We'll make it home Trial by fire Weak but breathing Healing vapors Smoke curls along the ceiling Callused hands And our toes are bleeding We walked all night And made it home

Bad Thought 04:02

At night the furies come To free my mind With evil you can't see This isn't how it's supposed to be Their nightmare rages on in me I dream of Dad And going home Pick up the phone Tell him now You're scared to death Of his last breath Your heart will break He needs to know At night the furies come To free my mind With evil you can't see This isn't how it's supposed to be Their nightmare rages on in me I dream awake It's hard to take I cannot wait For heaven I want to die Sometimes I cry And hope this time It is the end At night the furies come To free my mind with evil you can't see This isn't how it's supposed to be Their nightmare rages on in me At night the furies come To free my mind with evil you can't see This isn't how it's supposed to be Their nightmare rages on in me

There's a light at the end of the tunnel But its path doesn't lead back to me You will find that I'm lost in a bubble That's my trouble Believing I'm free This world can make you crazy But I'm fine Just so you know The loudest bark won't faze me I've gone deaf From getting old This world can make you crazy But I'm fine Just so you know The loudest bark won't faze me I've gone deaf Out in the cold There's a door in the back of this cellar Where I store all my hopes and dreams Tucked away I will hide them forever So these people Won't know my beliefs This world can make you crazy But I'm fine Just so you know The loudest bark won't faze me I've gone deaf From getting old I thought it wouldn't change me But real life Takes its toll I don't want my girl to save me 'Cuz I'm fine Losing control
