Lyrics

Save me, save me babyFrom this season's dead airTake, take, take me babyBlind naked and scaredSo scaredWant you to burn me, burn me babyBurn me and cover your eyes with my ashesWhy don't you pray for me babySit back and watch my divine spark flashGoneGood riddance I'm goneGone in a wasted wayWasted my way I'm gonePull, push and pull on me babyWith your fingernails full of furI want you to stab meDo it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurtGoneGood riddance I'm goneGone in a wasted wayWasted my way I'm goneJinx me, jinx me babyBeautiful like a foolC'mon and remove meDilated and burnedGoneGood riddance I'm goneGone in a wasted wayWasted my way I'm gone

Lyrics

Did you ever hearThe one about last yearIt was all a lieAin't it funny how the time fliesWhat we gonna do babyWhat is left for us to proveI've never stolen nothing, not a thingTried to stay away from this year'sBig thingAin't as easy as it seemsTo find a mutual dreamCan you tell me wrong from rightDo you know when to freeze or take flightCan you tell me more or lessI got to know confessDon't neglect meCome be my conspiracyDon't neglect meCome be my conspiracyNow you got a question about your answerSay try your adam's appleYou talk it try it bite it rightSo now you want to fight? OkLet's step outsideI got tradition it's an additionMy definition it don't hold me backWell what you think about thatWhat you don't understandThis is a very old landCan you tell me wrong from rightDo you know when to freeze or take flightCan you tell me more or lessI got to know confessDon't neglect meCome be my conspiracyDon't neglect meCome be my conspiracy

Lyrics

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mindOther times sunshine high head fineIn between I get cold, old meanIntertwined with country pride open and kindThis draws a lineSorry to coin a phraseOn either side is wisdom and rageSo keeping track of timeRacing with my ageSleeping with the snakesForget that you showed up lateIt ain't worth it babyChorus:A charmed life it isAt least they tell you soI got a good ideaIt ain't like they say is soAnd if it is then let me goLet me goAny day there might be hell to payBut in other waysIt makes it seem okI'll tell you what I meanIt's not a plot nor a schemeIt's just peace in my mindAgain can I use the word kindI ain't sorry about it babyChorus

Lyrics

I lose myselfI forget myselfSometimes I fault myselfI might fight myselfBut then I make amendsI freeze myselfRain on myselfOk, so I stone myselfAnd I might even find myselfBut then again what happens if I doSo unzip my prideOpen me up wideSo I can show this to youI want to shine for youI want to sparkle tooJust like a diamond cursedWell you know it don't get worseYou know that I'll save you timeYour trouble now is mineHold me babyHold me girlAnd I will laugh with youIf you want me toRoll me in your splendorI'll envy your surrenderAnd show you victoryI hate myselfDoesn't everybody hate themselvesSo what, I scare myselfThen I tell myself that it's all in my mindSo I let the poison go'Cause baby I always knowIt will be there for me

Lyrics

I don't know my telephone numberBut you kiss good and I'd like toSee you tomorrowAnd I don't beg, I pay, I don't barterAnd if we had a child I'd like a son,Not a daughter'Cause she'd be just like youYou know that would not doI'm no builder, I'm no gardenerI sing some songs, have a friendWho's a photographerThere ain't no other languageI know how to speakSome like their water shallowAnd I like mine deepTied to the bottomWith a noose around my feetThe clouds conspireAbove my headI overheard themSay I wish he was deadToday the sunsetBurned my eyesAnd in the next room I hear someone cryI like to dress up like the juryTo eat like a king, to poke fun at clergyTo talk like dirtTo love you like tarBut never fall in too fastWith my north starWhile you pull your hair outI buy the drinks at the barThe clouds conspireAbove my headI overheard themSay I wish he was deadToday the sunsetBurned my eyesAnd in the next room I hear someone cry

Lyrics

I've been lost in the headlightsAll night longSaid i've felt taller, yes I heardthe dealer's songSay babe don't mark me absentI only missed out by a fractionBe the sun that bursts through my cloudsIt's hard enough just living on this groundchorus:Say don't pretend to meI beg and i plead, your sunflower I needThought nothing would surprise meI was wrong now i seeCome on baby and just do meif you pleaseThis made me reminiscingAbout the honey we madeI feel warm in your blizzardAnd your flood I craveI won't abuse my angerI promise you no lectureCome be the sun bursting through my cloudsIt's hard enough just living on the groundchorus

Lyrics

I am a cobwebin the corner of the roomI tell you I build myself a boat babyso c'mon and cry me a monsoonget busy on itand make it deepchorus:imagine how surprised all the kids will beempty bottles, saviors they crawlthat has always been and will always bethere's a hornet's nest in my head,come and save meIf I dont say nothing (if I don't say nothing)you say now tell us what to doso I tell ya'll this is just how I feelsomeone else calls it the newsbut that's yesterdayyesterday's newschorus

Lyrics

Here with meAnd this price you payJust a wishful dream could be blown awayAsk yourself for better or worseBecause what's the use if it's just good luckA black cat has crossed my pathTell me what's good luck about thatHate and greedSwollen and sweetLet's start this miseryIf that's where you wanna beFear and loveFrom down or from up aboveCome to meCome to meI beg you pleaseCome set me freeExcuse me pleaseFor my definitionBut deeper still are my convictionsUrgently I wait to hear an answerWhile I misconductA sad lost anthemAn anthem like you have never heardHave you heard something so absurdHate and greedSwollen and sweetLet's start this miseryIf that's where you wanna beFear and loveFrom down or from up aboveCome to meCome to meI beg you pleaseCome set me free

Lyrics

No time left now for shameHorizon behind me, no more painWindswept stars blink and smileAnother song, another mileYou read the line every timeAsk me about crime in my mindAsk me why another road songFunny but I bet you never left homeOn a good day, it's not every dayWe can part the seaAnd on a bad day, it's not every dayGlory beyond our reachFourteen seconds till' sunriseTired but wiser for the timeLightning 30 miles awayThree thousand more in two daysOn a good day, it's not every dayWe can part the seaAnd on a bad day, it's not every dayGlory beyond our reach

Lyrics

To my low down downtownMoney wasterYour only saving graceIs that i like to taste yaBut your flower is spoiledToo easy to make yaYou got a .38 and your book of revelationsI got a .44 and a load of temptationI am a rounder, like to round aroundTwo for one at the store on the cornerLittle girl like to drink and sniffin' powdersLike the bars that stay open after hoursLike the boys that go 24-7Too many late nights and you don't go to heaven

Lyrics

Have mercy babyI'm descending againOpen your eyesThis time it's sink or it's swimNo sermons on ascendingNo verdict on deceitNo selfish memorandumNo confusion for meCursesCurses and cluesA feast for foolsHave mercy babyAnd hand me downsIt was just a few years agoYou'd hand me ups and mapRight out of townBut I would let it slideLike mercurySilver and quickPoisonous and deadlySo deadly

Lyrics

Curse the wicked whisper here in this earMake my honeyGrind that salt before the rains come this yearMake it all muddySo now you have calledAnd now you want to ring my neckOh baby you talk so tightTell me now who's all wetI could kiss your promiscuous mindMy flesh is yours and there is nothing to fearMake us all aloneWind your watch and bless all my prayersMake ready to get homeOh now you get so hardNow you ring my neckNow you wanna talk so tightTell me who's all wetI could kiss your promiscuous mindI could kiss your promiscuous mindYes I couldI have four lone starsThat you have given meYeah, why don't you give it babyWell, the feeling you're giving babyTell me, what you give awayGive it, give it, give it

I forgot I found you tied up and swallowedA mess with the magic and the knotYou touch my teeth and say you like the way I bite yaSin, skin, sounds wrong but it's notChorus:Everybody says that you're such a pityWell baby, they, they ought to knowEverybody says you're such a pityTell ya baby, they, they ought to knowTouched from up above and touched between your legsBut which one, baby, burnsSo you've been touched so many times so many waysCome on baby, who gets hurtChorusChorus

Lyrics

I feel clean againI don't waste my sinI can't spare a grinBecause it's bad blood time againMy morning full on speedNo it's not so rare to meThis is, this is a hungry needWon't you help me to plant the seedAnd if it growsYes, we'll know, oh we'll knowIf I found you a floating featherSent down to help me fly awayIf I found you a floating featherI would be amazedI'd be amazedYour lips taste dry againA death cold has got your skinI'm not lost in who loses or winsI would just like for this spell to endCause I'm readyReady to beginBegin againIf I found you a floating featherSent down to help me fly awayIf I found you a floating featherI would be amazedI, well I remember one timeYou were all smilesNothing stood in our wayWell so here I am nowHere I am just wanting to return to those daysWe'll get there babyI'll take you there babeOh, we will find, we will find our way
