We live inside our minds
We lie
We come from different worlds
We hide
We watch the news
We cry
We write
We hate ourselves
And can't decide
If we should love
Is it even worth our time
Having faith in people
Who have never been on our side
I don't want to hurt
We play head games
When we say goodbye
I am angry
Sick and petrified
We sit alone
We aren't the same
We're on the phone
We eat
We blame
We email friends
We text
We dine
We have sex
But we can't decide
If we should love
Is it even worth our time
Having faith in people
Who have never been on our side
I don't want to hurt
We play head games
When we say goodbye
I am angry
Sick and petrified
If we should love
Is it even worth our time
Having faith in people
Who have never been on our side
I don't want to hurt
We play head games
When we say goodbye
I am angry
Sick and petrified

When I Sleep
02:36
|

I'm out of shape
I've been drinking like a sailor
VHS tapes
And books by Norman Mailer
In LA there's a quake
In New York there's talk of terror
A world filled with hate
The screens are flashing error
I hear your voice
When I'm awake
But when I sleep
I am afraid
We are alive
That's God's mistake
We call his bluff
But it's too late
I haven't changed
I'm still the man who needs you
If you feel the same
You know I'll always love you
The weak and the lame
Are the boys you knew in high school
I'm learning the game
I've mastered what I need to
I hear your voice
When I'm awake
But when I sleep
I am afraid
We are alive
That's God's mistake
We call his bluff
But it's too late
I hear your voice
When I'm awake
But when I sleep
I am afraid
We are alive
That's God's mistake
We call his bluff
But it's too late

Abstain
02:33
|

To reel her in
I say that I am sane
She hears the words
But I can see the pain
Her eyes don't lie
And I can't hide my shame
We're both confused
I might as well abstain
Gun to my head
I'll bet
That she knows
The minute our eyes had met
I was alone
Gun to my head
I'll bet
She'll go home
And in time forget
We were a whole
I promise love
That we'll get married soon
We'll tell our folks
To set the date for June
Her eyes tell lies
I can't deny
Things change
We've both been used
And might as well abstain
Gun to my head
I'll bet
That she knows
The minute our eyes had met
I was alone
Gun to my head
I'll bet
She'll go home
And in time forget
We were a whole
Gun to my head
I'll bet
That she knows
The minute our eyes had met
I was alone
Gun to my head
I'll bet
She'll go home
And in time forget
We were a whole

Nazar

Six years have passed
And I've gone numb again
Parades of people
And not a single friend
The nights are tough
Where's my talisman
The lucky charm
That saved so many men
From a fate worse than death
An evil eye they'll dread
Get them out of my head
And the words they said
A fate worse than death
An evil eye they'll dread
Get them out of head
And the words they said
I wait in vain
For a young girl to come
And bring me back
To where I started from
The days are long
Where's my talisman
The Turkish charm
That saved so many men
From a fate worse than death
An evil eye they'll dread
Get them out of my head
And the words they said
A fate worse than death
An evil eye they'll dread
Get them out of head
And the words they said
A fate worse than death
An evil eye they'll dread
Get them out of my head
And the words they said

Speechless
02:21
|

I'm looking forward to the end
Of everything
This life
All these rules
And all your friends
They're out to get me
I won't survive
And that's okay
I don't want to live
As long as I am betrayed
Save your prayers
For someone else in need
Go away
'Cuz I'm too tired to speak
Save your prayers
For those down on their knees
I won't crawl or beg
To be set free
I'll take my time
It's not a race
We all will die
And I will leave
Without a trace
They won't remember me
Or my first
Fall from grace
There's peace of mind
In being placed into an early grave
Save your prayers
For someone else in need
Go away
'Cuz I'm too tired to speak
Save your prayers
For those down on their knees
I won't crawl or beg
To be set free
Save your prayers
For someone else in need
Go away
'Cuz I'm too tired to speak
Save your prayers
For those down on their knees
I won't crawl or beg
To be set free

Mass

We will live forever
And never go hungry
You and me together
Our home in the country
Nothing lasts forever
But we will be happy
Things are getting better
And soon we will have peace
But God and war
It keeps people on the edge
I'm suicidal now
I'm standing on the ledge
A silent Lord
A worthless prayer
You shake your head
Sleep till noon
Then fight the demons in your head
We can live for nothing
Or live for our country
There will never be a second coming
Might as well build an army
The world
It stands for nothing
It's blinded by bullshit
Keep the motor running
Drive fast
Never stop it
But God and war
It keeps people on the edge
I'm suicidal now
I'm standing on the ledge
A silent Lord
A worthless prayer
You shake your head
Sleep till noon
Then fight the demons in your head
But God and war
It keeps people on the edge
I'm suicidal now
I'm standing on the ledge
A silent Lord
A worthless prayer
You shake your head
Sleep till noon
Then fight the demons in your head

By Your Side
02:06
|
|||
Falling apart
And I am sound asleep
You dream of a place
That you would rather be
I know you're unhappy
Lying next to me
Don't worry I won't be here long
You'll see
I would rather be dead
Than alive
I'd rather rot in hell
Than live by your side
I would rather be dead
Than alive
I'd rather rot in hell
Than live by your side
I broke your heart
And now you know the truth
I've said this before
It wasn't clear to you
I never tried to be a better man
All I can do is help you understand
I would rather be dead
Than alive
I'd rather rot in hell
Than live by your side
I would rather be dead
Than alive
I'd rather rot in hell
Than live by your side
I would rather be dead
Than living a lie
I'd rather rot in hell
Than be with you and survive

Politicians
Popes
And critics
Write this down
There's a traveling troupe
Of pirates here in town
They will crucify
Annihilate
And screw
Anyone who tries
To force our world into
Your idea of a home
(Or a kitchen)
Put down the megaphone
And listen
We may have come here on our own
We're on a mission
But we ain't leavin' here alone
And we'll keep bitchin'
Chinese hackers
Russian spies
And communists
This is not your world
We'll put a stop to it
All your terror dreams
And fantasies are shit
We will make you pay
And wolves they never quit
We will crucify
Annihilate
And screw
Any prick who tries
To force our world into
Your idea of a home
(Or a kitchen)
Put down the megaphone
And listen
We may have come here on our own
We're on a mission
But we ain't leavin' here alone
And we'll keep bitchin'
Your idea of a home
(Or a kitchen)
Put down the megaphone
And listen
We may have come here on our own
We're on a mission
But we ain't leavin' here alone
And we'll keep bitchin'

Armchair Patriot

In World War II
We fought and won
In Vietnam
We lost our sons
Arms to Iran
We sold our souls
Invading Iraq
We lost control
I want to win
By any means
I'll tell you how to pick a fight
You act the fool
You play the rube
Then hunt'em down
Like hounds through the night
Let's put our weapons to good use
If war is our life
Then we can't lose
Christmas Eve on the Delaware
Washington gave Brits quite a scare
China still sees Mao Zedong
Russians seem to think they've won
By the dawn's early light
There will be a firefight
I want to win
By any means
I'll tell you how to pick a fight
You act the fool
You play the rube
Then hunt'em down
Like hounds through the night
I want to win
By any means
I'll tell you how to pick a fight
You act the fool
You play the rube
Then hunt'em down
Like hounds through the night
Let's put our weapons to good use
If war is our life
Then we can't lose
