Make You Bleed

When the sun comes up tomorrow
I’m gonna change my evil ways
Stop sucking blood, start soaking up
Your beneficial rays
Because all I ever wanted, was to be good enough
All I ever needed, to be bad enough
All I ever wanted, to make you believe
to make you need, and make you bleed
But when the moon comes up tomorrow
I’m gonna change right back again
So you can take that silver bullet
and put it underneath my skin
Because all I ever wanted, to stay high enough
All I ever needed, to hit the sky enough
All I ever wanted, to never need
to ever descend and make you bleed
You’re fine, but I’m such a mental case
That you toe the line and roll my way
Or I’m laying waste all I can lay
So I keep on making the same mistakes
Grow tired of all this give and take
You know I’m always gonna trade out an eye
for an eye, for an eye, ‘til we’re blind
So when the sun comes up tomorrow
We’re gonna do it all again
And you can take that to the teller, baby
And make her put it in and in and in
All I ever wanted, was to be good enough
All I ever needed, to be bad enough
All I ever wanted, to make you believe
to make you need, to make you
All I ever wanted, to stay high enough
All I ever needed, to hit the sky enough
All I ever wanted, to never need
to ever descend, and make you bleed

Slave To Emotion
04:13

Stranded by the curbside, crazy-making
Somewhere back we took a wrong turn maybe
Riding on a high that you’re always chasing
And when they say goodbye, then you can replace them
Girl, you’re such a slave to emotion
A slave to emotion
Girl, you’re just a wave on the ocean
A slave to the motion
I tried backing off, ‘cause I’m so demanding
Crashing through your gate with reckless abandon
But I guess it wasn’t far enough for you
You spin out of control and there’s no room for two
You’re such a slave to emotion
A slave to emotion
Girl, you’re just a wave on the ocean
A slave to the motion
Girl, you’re such a slave to emotion
Girl, you’re just a slave to emotion
A slave to emotion
Girl, you’re just a wave on the ocean
A slave to the motion
But you keep coming back around, coming back around
But you keep letting me back down, letting me back down
And I’m trying so hard to tell you

I Feel Gone
03:55
|
|||
|
In the winter of our discontent, there are no innocents
And we’re not so different
No, we’re two of a kind, one and the same
We pretend like we are friends, in front of all our friends
And then go back home, and then turn it off again
Because whatever I say, whatever I do
I did those things I did to you
Now whatever I say, whatever I do
I’ll never get the best of you
so I feel gone
Committing ordinary crimes
Half by habit, half by design
Feels like I’ve been doing time
‘cause you’re one of a kind at laying the blame
But I can only apologize
A hundred million times
Until I’m not sorry, and I’m done playing games
Because whatever I say, whatever I do
I did those things I did to you
Now whatever I say, whatever I do
I’ll never get the best of you
so I feel gone
I treat the bleeding with iodine
But I’m still drinking the cyanide
I’m tired of reaching for alibis
Just ‘cause you’re always afraid I’ll do it again
You loved me, now you hate me
And all you want to do is berate me
For something that happened, so many years ago
But you don’t forget
And forgiveness isn’t coming
So I guess I’d best be going
Now I’m going, really going
I’m gone.

All Strung Out
02:33
|

|
I think you’re feeding a habit
I think you’re filling a hole
You run around like a rabbit
You burn it down to a coal
Don’t need to tell me you’re sorry
Keep on playing your role
And I’ll be whatever I need to be
to ride out this insanity
When you give it all
you might not get it back
And when you hang on
and it feels like a heart attack
You’re all strung out
We’re getting smaller and smaller
The more we can discern
The mystery still lingers
The mystery still burns
This is another dimension
A new direction we turn
And I see storms on the horizon
because you just don’t ever learn
When you give it all
you might not get it back
And when you hang on
and it feels like a heart attack
And you had enough
Because you gave up everything
And it added up
to ruining your dreams
You’re all strung out

Going Back To Crazy
03:28
|

|
Crazy-is-as-does should know by now
But she always makes me forget it somehow
Yeah, she’ll set you off, get you off but never let you off
Bets are off when she’s done turning you on
Crazy-is-as-does should know by now
But I’m going back to crazy
Back to the scene of my old crimes
Going back to crazy
I’ve been ignoring all the signs
And I’m going back to crazy
Learning my lesson one more time
Because I already crossed that line, when I went back to you
So crazy-is-as-does tried tapping out
But she always gets me to prove it somehow
Yeah, she’s throwing the dishes and missing by inches
And lighting my clothes on fire while I’m still in them
Yeah, crazy-is-as-does should know by now
But I’m going back to crazy
Back to the scene of my old crimes
I’m going back to crazy
I’ve been ignoring all the signs
And I’m going back to crazy
Learning my lesson one more time
Because I already crossed that line, when I went back to you
Whatever she wants, whatever she needs
Because whoever she loves, that’s who I’ll be
Crazy-is-as-does should know by now
And she always gets me to prove it somehow
So I’m going back to crazy
Back to the scene of my old crimes
I’m going back to crazy
I've been ignoring all the signs
And I’m going back to crazy
Learning my lesson one more time
Because I already crossed that line, when I went back to you

Forever
03:46
|

|
You put a stake in my heart, I put a stake in the ground
‘Cause you can stay where you are, or you can spread it around
When what you say and what you do don’t add up
I go deaf, baby
If you want to take me down tonight
Dig my grave and bury me alive
If you want to take me way down low, there’s a long way to climb
If you want to take me down tonight and drag me into the light
I can hold out forever
You pin the needle on red, trying to zero me out
I put my hand to my ear, trying to muffle the sound
When what you say and what you do don’t add up
I go deaf, baby

Don't Gotta Work
02:50
|
|||
|
Woke up at noon, thought it was yesterday
Too much too soon, no chance of getting paid
But I don’t worry about what I can’t change
So don’t bother calling, I’m going out to rage
Call me crazy but I don’t gotta work anymore
Getting hazy ‘cause I don’t gotta work anymore
Rattle my cage trying to settle the score
But I don’t gotta work, no I don’t gotta work anymore
Ran up her credit card with shit I didn’t need
But she don’t take it hard. That girl is much too sweet
So she can be my type tonight, and maybe for a few more days
I’ll let her call it love, ‘cause I need a place to stay
Call me lazy, but I don’t gotta work anymore
Work this lady and I won’t gotta work anymore
Feather my cage, trying to run up the score
But I don’t gotta work, no I don’t gotta work anymore
Maybe this ticket is my ticket out, no more lying couch to couch
Pipe dreams of stadiums and private plains live in a diamond plated house
That we’re burning to the ground
Finally made it and I don’t gotta work anymore
Number came in and I don’t gotta work anymore
Broke my cage and now I’m settling scores
‘Cause I don’t gotta work, no I don’t gotta work
Well I don’t wanna work, hope I don’t gotta work anymore
So suck it! Suck it!

Dreamkiller
02:51
|

|
Last night while I was asleep, I killed a man inside a dream
I think I killed this guy before, but he keeps coming back for more
I tried to hide the body; sweep it underneath a pile of leaves
But I’m a killer just the same, even if they never learn my name
Now I’m running from the law, the other shoe is gonna drop
They’re gonna put me in a hole and never, never let me go
If I could wake up in this dream, I’d disappear into the steam
But I don’t know that I’m asleep, so I can’t come up from the deep
‘Cause you can’t get free from what’s a part of you all along
I’m a dreamkiller
I fire at will, yeah
I’m a dreamkiller

Saturday Night Somewhere
03:38
|
|||
|
I’ve been flying low, just a little under your sites
Trying to find a way into you
You said you had enough, but your appetites
Well, they only grew and grew
Sometimes you think you’ll be crazy for the rest of your life
Other times you know that it takes two
But no matter how many times, or hard you try
You just can’t find your way through
‘Cause it’s hard when the tears come falling down
To see through to blue skies
But if it’s raining on you now
You can turn it back around
Let me take you out tonight, let me take you out tonight, let me take you out tonight
Let me take you to the floor
Let me take you to the sky
Let me take you out, it’s always Saturday night
Saturday night somewhere
All the pain soon fine, drifting way behind
In the wake of this ship of fools
Candy coated dreams wrapped up in little white lines
And you know what those lead to
Sometimes you think you’ll be crazy for the rest of your life
Other times you know that it takes two
But no matter how many times, or hard you try
You just can’t find your way through

Something Bigger
04:05
|

|
Oh no, you’re too slow
You can’t go with the flow
They’re too fast, and they all know
What you’re trying to ge
What you came here for
But there are ways to behave that shut them all the way down
And ways to behave that can bring them back around
That slaves to the ways they behave will never figure out
You’ve been looking for something bigger
‘Cause you’ve been triggered, so you’re looking
For something bigger
You pulled the trigger ‘cause you were looking
For something bigger, for something bigger
So you can hang left and hang low
Or hang right and hang tight
There are ways to behave that shut them all the way down
And ways to behave that can bring them back around
That slaves to the ways they behave will never figure out
So you’re looking for something bigger
‘Cause you’ve been triggered, so you’re looking
For something bigger
You pulled the trigger ‘cause you were looking
For something bigger, for something bigger
Say that you want it
Say that you need it
Say that you mean it
And when they desert you
Don’t let it hurt you
You’re all done bleeding
It’s their turn to bleed out now
