Queen Of Pain
There's a fire forming not too far from here.
Out on the east coast... maybe it resides in you my dear. We're worn
out on all courtesy. We've made our curtain calls. Like vampire
bats deprived of blood into the New York City night we crawl. And
you've got a funny way of showing off your bathroom surgery. You
said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me. There's
something I should tell you for we may not have much time... I've never
met arms like yours. And the stars at night are big and bright deep
in your eyes Miss Vincent. You told me once I made you smile.
We both know damn well I didn't. I'm not much of a jester, but I'd
test poison food for you, your majesty. You're royal blue.
I'm loyalty, my king of pain. There's a hard rain falling, flooding
your attic it's clear. I can't put out the fire that resides in you
my dear. There's something I should tell you for we may not have
much time... I've never seen scars like yours. And the stars at night
are big and bright deep in your eyes Miss Vincent. You told me once
I made you smile. We both know damn well I didn't. I'm not
much of a jester, but I'd test poison food for you, your majesty.
You're royal blue. I'm loyalty, my king of pain. The stars
at night are big and bright deep in your eyes Miss Vincent. You told
me once I made you smile. We both know damn well I didn't.
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poison food for you, your majesty.
You're royal blue. I'm loyalty, my king of pain.
While You're Waiting
There's a hope in my head that's been cut and bled
dry as your bloodshot eyes. And there's smoke in the air and it's
soon to clear, revealing our demise. There are some who say that
it's a.o.k. if it makes you feel alright. It's just way too bad,
now you're worse than sad, all locked up there inside. And I don't
know how you feel, but I'll make you a deal if you make it out alive.
My shoulders and ears are all yours my dear. I hope it comes as no
surprise. You've been known to say that you're a.o.k. when you're
feeling sick inside. I just want you to know I've got no place to
go until the day you die. While you're waiting, be thankful for you
fingers. I'll be fading with the colors of your pictures. "I'm
not crying wolf", you whispered, "I'm really dead this time... I'm really
dead this time." There's a hope in my head that's been cut and bled
dry as your bloodshot eyes. And there's smoke in the air and it's
soon to clear, revealing our demise. You've been known to say that
you're a.o.k. when you're feeling dead inside. I just want you to
know I've got no place to go until the day you die. While you're
waiting, be thankful for you fingers. I'll be fading with the colors
of your pictures. "I'm not crying wolf", you whispered, "I'm really
dead this time... I'm really dead this time." They locked you up.
They threw away the key. Sutured your mouth shut. Murdered
your family. Right before your eyes, what could you do? Right
before your eyes, they took it all from you. You're contemplating,
you hanging from your ceiling. I can't help hating you for having
that feeling. I'm not joking when I tell you I'd miss you all the
time. I already miss you all the time.
Rooftops (Hot Water Music cover song)
I've got the scars to remind me. I've watched
the clocks go around. I've walked myself through some days that have
put me where I am. In another time, in another place all things might
have been in place. But for now I'm finding myself right here standing
on a rooftop screaming. "Hey world are you listening... listening
to me?" I'm here and I'm hurting to begin again. It's another
time, it's another place and we are making more old days. But for
now I'm finding myself out here standing on a doorstep screaming.
"Hey world are you listening... listening to me?" I'm here and I'm
hurting to begin again. "Hey world I'm ready to listen (Lurch smokes
weed) and learn something new." I'm here and I'm willing to get myself
through.

"God Deciding"
Transgressions we made while cowards convey.
With a demon's ear, fixed and set to slay. While the statue awaits
to be whittled away. With a mock of a slogan hiding filth with fear.
Never to learn, only to burn... and be burned. Branded straight through
slate. Clear as common day. What shall be the mark to be made
(Go slowly)? When we crush it all to burn it down (cause at the moment)
without sight (everything you say), without sound. Not anything but
(you'd never think) a casualty forgotten in the ground (you'd ever see).
A simple shell, that's solemn still... (you can't believe) without sight
(the hatered), without sound. Make a martyr, a pedestal with ribbons
of slaughter. Feed the altar, stoke the fire it will take over.
Ignore the cut... the skin will callus as well as interest. If all
are reckless none is to profit, none is to win it (Go slowly). So
who will pay for all the tears (cause at the moment), all the lives, (everything
you say) from either side? All the years, all the time (you'd never
think) of living blind playing "God deciding (you'd ever see)?" Who
will die (you can't believe) next in line for the lie (the hatered) justified
for the rise of sitting high playing "God deciding (Go slowly)?"
And who will walk away (cause at the moment) from the rage and revenge
(things you'd never think)? Inhumane consequence (you'd ever see)
comes in time playing "God deciding." And who (you'd ever do) will
fall in line to arrive (you can't believe) out of sight (the hatered) and
out of mind? Out of mind? Out of mind? Out of...
Russian Roulette
(She lives like russian roulette. Barrel
up to the head. Where every sweet young move is belonging to a sickness.)
Now enter special things to detour all the pain, like a brand new, solid
mess. But nothing seems to last... It strikes when you've thought
you won. It's self destruction. It strikes when you've thought
you won. And the delicate balance won't survive the turbulence.
Now, enter the escape from everything you've made. Cause something
wrong inside won't let you live your life. It strikes when you've
thought
you won. It's self destruction. It strikes when you've thought
you won. And down you will go, with a tail of flames stretched out
behind you. The cold wind will blind you. And in all that you
can't see. The simplicity is beautiful.
Radio (Alkaline Trio cover song)
Shaking like a dog shittin' razor blades.
Waking up next to nothing as your dreaming of you and me. I'm waking
up all alone. Waking up so relieved. While you're taking your
time with apologies, I'm planning my ways of revenge. Red eyes on
orange horizons. If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the
edge... I'd drive straight off the edge. Taking your own life with
boredom. I'm taking my own life with wine. It helps you to
rule out the sorrow. It helps me to empty my mind. Making the
most of a bad time. I'm smoking the brains from my head. Leaving
the coal, calling the kettle black and orange and red. This kettle
is seeing red. I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my
darling. In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying.
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in and ready
to fall. Shaking like a dog shittin' razor blades. Waking up
next to nothing after dreaming of you and me. I'm waking up all alone.
Waking up so relieved. While you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm planning my ways of revenge. Red eyes on orange horizons.
If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge. I'm seeing
red. I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling.
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying. I wish you
would take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in and ready to fall...
plugged in and ready to fall... plugged in and ready to fall... plugged
in and ready to fall.
Bleeder (Alkaline Trio cover song)
You came to me like a dream, the kind that always
leaves. Just when the best part starts, it ends so abruptly.
To leave you stunned and naked in the bedroom all alone. It's kinda
funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone.
And you broke me like a cigarette that I busted on the day I quit.
Now that I've been drinking, I'm outta smokes and I wish that I had it.
Woke up to my daily headache and the realization that you were gone.
Oh my sweet darling happiness you've been away from me all along.
It's one thing I never said, "I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head."
A lonely liver suspended in liquid. You came to me like a dream,
the kind that always leaves. Just when the best part starts, it ends
so abruptly. To leave you stunned and naked in the bedroom all alone.
It's kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted by the ring
of a telephone. It's one thing I never said, "I'm truly happy in
my heart and in my head." A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
It's one thing I never did was smile. Missing a case, lacking a lid.
My heart bleeds for what you never did until now. Verdict?
Oh, did I just fuck up by talking right then? Alright.
