what is happening
can somebody explain

we keep getting high and
all my heroes are dead or dying

diminished expectations
ten dollar revelations
i'm going fucking insane
what is, is happening
it's too much for my brain
yeah i watched you strike your poses
i wasn't the one who chose this
but i guess i'm just going blind
gonna go way up north, no
gonna go way down south
either way nobody'll put words
in my mouth
what is, is happening
can somebody explain?

went into mcdonalds on acid
thought everything was made out of plastic
a plastic smile on a plastic face
a corporate entity lacking in grace
well i can't explain i can't explain
the pain i'm given by this place
oh you're not gonna catch me no,
cause i let it burn, i let burn
and you're not gonna catch me
saw an alien from another planet
and i panicked oh i panicked
suddenly i was inspired
to light the whole place on fire
and you're not gonna catch me no
cause i let it burn, i let it burn, and you're not
gonna catch me
when i fall, when i fall, you're not gonna save me
when i drown, when i drown, no ones gonna save me
burn i let it burn i let it burn i let it burn cause you're
not gonna catch me no
yeah i let it, burn, i let it burn, let it burn, cause
you're not gonna catch me
when i fall, when i fall, you're not gonna save me,
when i drown, if i drown, no ones gonna save me

Bruised
07:19
|
|

|
sinking in the gutter headfirst and inside out
tongue tied with empty moon in my eyes
eclipsing my veins spiral thoughts collide
strung out on bad luck and i don't know why
the fortune tellers, they got it all wrong
the dream was hidden backwards inside of a song
so i fold myself like paper cranes
but all decrepit and parking lot grey
but i never wanted to stay
stuck in this doorframe waiting for the day
i'm just waiting yeah i'm wasting away
so let's play hangman across my skin
cause can't you see my choices getting thin
i paint my face with circus smiles and gypsy lies
until i'm sailing those clear blue skies
newspaper faces and parking lot eyes
stuck between my blood and the sky
but this wasn't the road that i chose
ending up as nothing but a ghost
biting the curb, haunting the sidewalk
blindfold me till i can see
cause someone once told me we could
walk on water
if only we wanted it enough
sew my eyes half shut, bruise my knuckles
make me get down and crawl
and hand me over all your fools gold
cause that shit makes me feel like nothing at all

i stole this song from my good friend
he'll never know cause he left
never even talk to him on the phone
that's all right cause i'd rather be alone
as long as i get outta here
as long as i get outta here
well my daddy was a lawyer and my
mother was a mother
my sister is a writer i wanted to be a fighter
too bad i didn't grow to be stronger
and no i don't mean i wanted to be a brawler
ya capitalists, i wanna scare ya,
wanna be like ernesto guevera
wanna change the unchangeable road
i wanna know the things that nobody knows
over and out
i'm filling up with doubt
from when the shadow came to my room
crept up to my bed and this is what he said:
i am the truth and if you hold a light to me
i will disappear
i am the truth and if you hold a light to me
i will disappear
and if words could change the world
i would stop doing drugs and forget about the girls
sit my ass down and write a long letter
that would make everything all better
put these opportunists in the ground
using nothing but apocalyptic sound
super sonic anabolic right from the dominant
to the tonic
oh yeah….
wrap me in your wings and fly me to heaven
we can take a 747
with a bar on wheels and pills in every colour
in case you feel that you need to take another
cause you can't get outta here
theres one way outta here
theres one way outta here
so burn my body free my soul
cause this world is getting old
and i swore i would never ever be a slave
to that shit they call silver and gold
but i can't get outta here
i can't get outta here
can't get outta here

Promise

i'll be honest i promise
though i know that's like sawdust
but hold you i must
cause time has started to rust me
tell me if you're afraid
though there's nothing i could
do to save
anyone or anything
from the hands of time
tear me all apart
and put it back together
tear me all apart
and put it back together
i could never give you enough
i could never give you enough
i could never give you anything
remember that day
with the geese and the grain
the elevator among all the trains
the spiral staircase
leading to our dreams
but time is turning
just like the leaves
and they say you can never
ever stop the clock
they say you can never
ever stop the clock
tear me all apart
and put it back together
tear me all apart
and put it back together
i could never give you enough
i could never give you enough
i could never give you anything

i was walking up down the street
felt something under the shoes on my feet
it was overflowing there orange and
yellow blue
a bit contradictory as life can be
but haven't you heard the news
so i rushed outside, looked up at the sky
asking god oh why oh why
but i didn't get an answer and i'll tell you why
cause that is a construction of the human mind
so
hell, hell yeah
i will destroy you any way i can
lost in the vortex of my cerebral cortex
it gets so emotional
but i'm a human being and i have seen
what it is to be an animal
if i said i knew i knew anything about anything
i would just be bluffing
but i know everything you could want to know
about absolutely nothing
hell, hell yeah
unborn prima materia
floating through life
me and you
looking for something that is true
but i'm afraid you will be challenged to find
for truth is a construction of the human mind
hell, hell yeah
i will destroy anyway i can
hell, hell yeah
unborn prima materia
i knew you would never understand
but it doesn't matter now i'll leave you
all in the sand
my eyes have become so clear
i can see all your fear
and it's piled up, and it's piled up,
and it's piled up so high
now i will leave you in the sand

put it all behind a veil
telling me what's for sale
wrap it up in a shroud
and pretend that it's all behind the clouds
got your soul wrapped in cellophane
loaded in the back of that plane
cause you gotta play the selling game
to make it in this world today
and you know that it's backwards like no other
so baby lets get together and save each other
cause the future is now it'll drag you under
and i'm crying darling please, can we run for cover
now your soul is sold out
and your love is, they took it off the shelf
yeah your love is, sold out now
and your big game is falling out
and you know that it's backwards like no other
so baby lets get together and save each other
cause the future is now it'll drag you under
and i'm crying darling please, can we run for cover
