AINīT MY BITCH 

 
  
Out of my way 
Out of my day 
Out of your mind and into mine 
Into no one, into not one 
Into your step but out of time 
Head strong, what's wrong

Draggin me down, why you around

Down and out, where the hell ya been 
Damn it all down, damn it unbound 
Damn it all down to hell again 
Stand tall, can't fall 
Never even bend at all

To kiss your ass good-bye 
Draggin me down, why you around 
So useless 
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call 
It ain't my bitch 
Out of my way 
Out of my way 
Out of my day 
Out of your mind and into mine 
Into no one, into not one 
Into your step but out of time 
Head strong, what's wrong 
  
I've already heard this song 
Before... you arrived 
But now it's time 
To kiss your ass good-bye 
And now it's time 
To kiss your ass good-bye 
Draggin me down, why you around 
So useless 
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call

THE HOUSE JACK BUILT 
  
Open door so I walk inside 
Close my eyes, find my place to hide 
And I shake as I take it in 
Let the show begin 
Open my eyes just to have them closed again 
Well on my way, but on my way to where I've been 
It swallows me, as it takes me in its fog 
Hmmm, I twist away as I give this world a nod 
Open door so I walk inside 
Close my eyes, find my place to hide 
And I shake as I take it in 
Let the show begin 
Open my eyes just to have them closed once again 
  
Don't want control 
As it takes me down and down and down again 
Is that the moon 
Or just a light that lights this dead end street 
Is that you there 
Or just another demon that I meet 
The higher you are, the farther you fall 
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl 
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts 
Step into the house that Jack built 
The higher you are, the farther you fall 
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl 
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts 
Yes this is the house that Jack built 
Open door as I walk inside 
Swallow me so the pain subsides 
And I shake as I take this in 
  
Let the show begin 
Let the show begin 
Let the show begin 
The higher you are, the farther you fall 
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl 
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts 
Yes this is the house that Jack built 
The higher you are, the farther you fall 
Longer the walk, the farther you crawl 
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts 
Yes I am I am I am 
Open my eyes, it swallows me 
Is that you there 
Hmmm, I twist away 
Away 
Away 
Away 
  
UNTIL IT SLEEPS
 
Where do I take this pain of mine? 
I run but it stays right by my side 
So tear me open, pour me out 
There's things inside that scream and shout 
And the pain still hates me 
So hold me, until it sleeps 
Just like the curse, just like the stray 
You feed it once and now it stays 
Now it stays 
  
So tear me open but beware 
There's things inside without a care 
And the dirt still stains me 
So wash me until I'm clean 
It grips you, so hold me 
It stains you, so hold me 
It hates you, so hold me 
It holds you, so hold me... 
Until it sleeps(until it sleeps)(until it sleeps) 
So tell me why you've chosen me 
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed 
Don't want it 
I'll tear me open, make you gone 
No more can you hurt anyone 
And the fear still shakes me 
  
So hold me, until it sleeps 
It grips you, so hold me 
It stains you, so hold me 
It hates you, so hold me 
It holds you, holds you, holds you 
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps 
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps 
Until it sleeps 
I don't want it 
I don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it, no! 
So tear me open but beware 
There's things inside without a care 
  
And the dirt still stains me 
So wash me 'til I'm clean 
I'll tear me open, make you gone 
No longer will you hurt anyone 
And the hate still shapes me 
So hold me, until it sleeps 
Until it sleeps 
Until it sleeps 
Until it sleeps 
  
KING NOTHING 
  
Wish I may 
Wish I might 
Have this I wish tonight 
Are you satisfied? 
Dig for gold 
Dig for fame 
You dig to make your name 
Are you pacified? 
All the wants you waste 
All the things you've chased 
And it all crashes down 
And you break your crown 
And you point your finger 
But there's no one around 
Just want one thing 
Just to play the king 
But the castle crumbled 
And you've left with just a name 
  
Where's your crown, King Nothing? 
Where's your crown? 
  
Hot and cold 
Bought and sold 
A heart as hard as gold 
Yeah! Are you satisfied? 
Wish I might 
Wish I may 
You wish your life away 
Are you pacified? 
All the wants you waste 
All the things you've chased 
Then it all crashes down 
And you break your crown 
And you point your finger, but there's no one around 
Just want one thing 
  
Just to play the King 
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name 
Where's your crown, King Nothing? 
Ya nothing, where's your crown? 
Huh! 
(Spoken) 
I wish I may, I wish I might 
Have this wish, I wish tonight 
I want that star, I want it now 
  
I want it all and I don't care how 
Careful what you wish 
Careful what you say 
Careful what you wish you may regret it 
Careful what you wish you just might get it 
Then it all crashes down 
And you break your crown 
And you point your finger, but there's no one around 
Just want one thing 
Just to play the King 
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name 
Where's your crown, King Nothing? 
Nothing 
No, You're just nothing 
  
Where's your crown King Nothing? 
No, you're just nothing 
Absolutely nothing 
Off to never, never land 
  
HERO OF THE DAY
 
Mama they try and break me 
The window burns to light the way back home 
A light that warms no matter where they've gone 
They're off to find the hero of the day 
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way 
Still the window burns 
Time so slowly turns 
Someone there is sighing 
Keepers of the flames 
Do ya feel your name? 
Can't you hear your baby's crying? 
Mama they try and break me 
Still they try and break me 
  
'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel 
These things return to me that still seem real 
Now deservingly this easy chair 
But the rocking starts by wheels of despair 
Don't want your aid 
But the fist I've made 
For years can't hold or feel 
No, I'm not all me 
So please excuse me 
While I tend to how I feel 
But now the dreams and waking screams 
That ever last the night 
So build the wall, behind they crawl 
And hide until it's light 
So can you hear your baby's cryin' now? 
Still the window burns 
Time so slowly turns 
Someone there is sighing 
  
Keepers of the flames 
Can't you hear your name? 
Can't you hear your baby's crying? 
But now the dreams and waking screams 
That ever last the night 
So build the wall, behind they crawl 
And hide until it's light 
So can you hear your baby's cryin' now? 
  
Mama they try and break me 
Mama they try and break me 
Mama they try and break me 
Mama they try, mama they try 
Mama they try and break me 
Mama they try and break me 
Mama they try and break me 
Mama they try, mama they try

WASTING MY HATE 

Good day, how do 
And I send a smile to you 
Don't waste, waste your breath 
No I won't waste my hate on you 
Ain't gonna waste my hate 
Ain't gonna waste my hate on you

I think it's time you pleased yourself, yourself 
Good day, how do 
  
And I send a smile to you 
Don't waste, waste your breath 
Now I won't waste my hate on you 
Waste my hate on you 
Think you're worthy now 
Think enough to even raise the brow 
And to laugh and tip that two pronged crown 
When I see my hands, I see my feet 
I feel that blood that pumps in beat 
But where the hell's my mind goin' now? 
Get goin' now 
Good day, how do 
  
And I send a smile to you 
Don't waste, waste your breath 
Now I won't waste my hate on you

Better to give than to receive 
Ain't gonna waste my hate 
No, no ain't got time to waste my hate on you 
I think I'm gonna keep it all for myself 
For myself 
Good day, how do

Don't waste, waste your breath 
Now I won't waste my hate on you 
Waste my hate on you 
Think I'll keep it for myself 
Ya!

MAMA SAID 

Mama she has taught me well 
Told me when I was young 
"Son your life's an open book 
Don't close it before it's done 
The brightest flame burns quickest" 
That's what I heard her say 
A son's heart sowed to mother 
But I must find my way 
Let my heart go 
Let your son grow 
Mama let my heart go 
Or let this heart be still 
  
Yeah still 
Rebel my new last name 
Wild blood in my veins 
Apron strings around my neck 
The mark that still remains 
Left home at an early age 
Of what I heard was wrong 
I never ask forgiveness 
But what I said is done 
Let my heart go 
Let your son grow 
Mama let my heart go 
Or let this heart be still 
Never I ask of you 
But never I gave 
But you gave me your emptiness that 
I'll take to my grave 
Never I ask of you 
But never I gave 
But you gave me your emptiness that 
  
I'll take to my grave 
So let this heart be still 
Mama now I'm coming home 
I'm not all you wished of me 
But a mother's love for her son 
Unspoken, hear me be 
Yeah I took your love for granted 
'n all the things you said to me 
I need your arms to welcome me 
But a cold stone's all I see 
Let my heart go 
Let your son grow 
  
Mama let my heart go 
Or let this heart be still 
Let my heart go 
Mama let my heart go 
You never let my heart go 
So let this heart be still 
Never I ask of you 
But never I gave 
  
But you gave me your emptiness that 
I'll take to my grave 
Never I ask of you 
But never I gave 
But you gave me your emptiness that 
I'll take to my grave 
So let this heart be still 
  
THORN WITHIN  
  
Forgive me father 
For I have sinned 
Find me guilty of the life I feel within 
When I'm branded 
This mark of shame 
Should I look down disgraced 
Or straight ahead 
And know that you must blame 
I am the secret 
I am the sin 
I am the guilty 
And I am, I am the thorn within 
Forgive me father 
For I have sinned 
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within 
  
So point your fingers 
Point right at me 
For I am shadows and will follow you 
One and the same are we 
I am the secret 
I am the sin 
I am the guilty 
And I am, I am the thorn within 
I do your time 
I take your fall 
I'm branded guilty 
  
For us all 
So point your fingers 
Point right at me 
For I am shadows and will follow you 
One and the same are we 
I am your secret 
I am your sin 
I am your guilty 
  
And I am, I am the thorn within 
I am the thorn within 
I am the thorn within 
I am the thorn within 
I am the thorn within 
I am the thorn within 
  
RONNIE 

Story starts, quiet town 
Small town boy, big time frown 
Never talks, never plays 
Different path, lost his way 
The streets of red, red I'm afraid 
There's no confetti, no parade 
Nothing happens in this boring place 
But oh my god, how it all did change 
Now they all pray 
Blood stains wash away 
  
He said 
"Lost my way 
This bloody day 
Lost my way" 
I heard him, he said 
"Lost my way 
This bloody day 
Lost my way" 
All things wash away 
But blood stained the sun red today 
  
I always said, somethin' wrong 
With little strange Ronnie Long 
Never laughed, never smile 
Talked alone, miles and miles and miles 
Gallow calls, son I say 
Keep your smile, and laugh all day 
Think once again, in this boring place 
For little boys, how the soon change 
Now they all pray 
Blood stains wash away 
  
He said 
"Lost my way 
This bloody day 
Lost my way" 
I heard him, he said 
"Lost my way 
This bloody day 
Lost my way" 
All things wash away 
  
But blood stained the sun red today 
(Spoken) 
Yeah, well all the green things die 
When Ronnie moved to the place 
He said 
"Don't you dare ask 
Why I'm cursed to wear this face" 
Now we all know why children called him 
Ronnie Frown 
When he pulled that gun from his pocket 
They'd all fall down 
  
He said 
"Lost my way 
This bloody day 
Lost my way" 
Ya ya I heard him, he screamed 
"Lost my way 
This bloody day 
Lost my way" 
All things wash away 
But blood stained the sun red today 
That's right 
All things wash away 
And they all fall down 
But blood stained the sun today 
All things wash away 
And they all fall down 
But blood stained the sun today
