Fine Without You
Well, I'll sit here to convince myself it's true.  If you keep on telling your friends that we're through.  I've got nothing here but loneliness, holes in walls... a bleeding fist.  My head is pounding like a pillow, like a big black song.  We'll my friends and I try to tell me you're gone.  I won't listen to myself or anyone.  You got on a plane and off you went.  And you're never coming back again.  I'm trying to convince myself it's true.  Convincing myself... I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be here telling myself it's true.  Well, I'll sit here to convince myself it's true.  If you keep on pretending to have no clue, that I'd kill for you and eat the flesh.  Give you the heart and burn the rest.  One thousand miles ain't shit to walk if I'm walking to hold you, but... I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be here telling myself... I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be just fine without you.  I'll be here telling myself it's true.

Hating Every Minute
Sit down, and please make yourself comfortable... I might need some time to dance around what I need to say.  I love you to death, I think I need a break.  I spend my days worried out loud.  I get in my head... I choke it back down.  It hurts me inside to save you inside.  So close my lips tight... move eyes to the side.  This is the way we disappear.  It's easy if you burnout like a star.  This is the way we disappear.  It's easy like a fifty foot fall.  I'm waiting, for whatever better, time... to evict these words that have rented out my mind.  I'm hating every minute that I don't speak loud, like a year laying down... like a year laying down... like a year laying down.  Relax on this bed of nails, on this plastic sheet... your blood leaves a trail right back to me.  A problem you see.  Would you please allow a moment to think.  This is the way we disappear.  It's easy if you burnout like a star.  This is the way we disappear.  It's easy like a fifty foot fall.  I'm waiting, for whatever better, time... to evict these words that have rented out my mind.  I'm hating every minute that I don't speak loud, like a year laying down... like a year laying down... like a year laying down.

Dead And Broken
A deep, dark secret down at the bottom, but this bay can't keep it unforgotten.  And a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever wish to be.  Beyond belief...  I'll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor... the tarp and twine and the weights that sank her.  They weren't enough, look who showed up.  A new light shed is shining through.  Illuminating you as we lay side by side, dead and broken.  Our lives aren't the same since the night yours went stolen.  Blood ran black beneath the moonlight.  Your lover's blood ran cold, cutting off the hands he used to hold.  A deep, dark secret down at the bottom, but this bay can't keep it unforgotten.  And a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever want to be.  Beyond belief...  Side by side, dead and broken.  Our lives aren't the same since the night yours went stolen.  Blood ran black beneath the moonlight.  Your lover's blood ran cold, cutting off the hands he used to hold, hold, hold... he used to hold.

Sadie
You're on your own my little nightmare, you cannot stay here.  It's far too bright for you.  If they attack you just lay there.  Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through.  And seconds they seem like a lifetime.  A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true.  And they'll pin it all on you after all you've been put through.  "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"  That's what the white coats say.  Now Ms. Susan A., you're losing every opportunity to put us all away.  You're on your own my little nightmare.  Your job is done here.  You've scared 'em all to death.  If they revive them just sit there.  Just smile dear.  Make them thankful for every breath.  This sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling.  The blood they found on you.  And your knives and clothing too.  Charlie's broken .22.  "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"  That's what the white coats say.  Now Ms. Susan A., you're losing every opportunity...  Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way.  That you bound and gagged.  You shot and stabbed.  You tried to set 'em free, but they've thrown away the keys.  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

If You Had A Bad Time...
If you had a bad time at one of my parties... well, I wouldn't expect to be seeing you soon, and that's fine.  You have to know what and why those things make you happy.  You have to know that a second guess ain't worth a try.  Just some word of advice, maybe you've heard them before but here goes...  Just be true to yourself, if it lands you in hell, well at least now you know.  Lound and clear is your heart.  Big and bright are the places you might someday go.  With one million things holding you down, why you're one of those things I don't know.  No big deal, gotta go.  If you're up to your ears in blood, sweat, and wasted years.  I'm hoping you're going to open your throat and just scream.  You have to know who and why, which ones miss you when you die.  You have to know that a second guess ain't worth the salt in your eyes.  Some word of advice, maybe you've heard them before but here goes...  Just be true to yourself, if it lands you in hell, well at least now you know.  Lound and clear is your heart.  Big and bright are the places you might someday go.  With one million things holding you down, why you're one of those things I don't know.  No big deal, it just sits on my shoulders.  You're breaking my neck.  We get crazy with age, now you're under my bed.  And it's dark all the time, all the time.  Just some word of advice, maybe you've heard them before but here goes...  Just be true to yourself, if it lands you in hell, well at least now you know.  Lound and clear is your heart.  Big and bright are the places you might someday go.  With one million things holding you down, why you're one of those things I don't know.  No big deal, here I go.

Wait For The Blackout (The Damned cover song)
Don't you ask me to come out when the sun does shine.  Let us stay here with curtains drawn.  In darkness you'll be mine.  Let's wait for the blackout.  The light is too bright.  Let's wait for the blackout.  Wait for the night.  Well welcome to my basement flat.  No windows to see through.  When darkness falls again my friend, we know what to do.  Let's wait for the blackout.  The light is too bright.  Let's wait for the blackout.  Wait for the night.  Wait for the blackout.  The light is too bright.  Let's wait for the blackout.  Wait for the night.  Come walk with me upon the earth.  It keeps us both alive.  No living thing could last in here, but we can both survive.  Let's wait for the blackout.  The light is too bright.  Let's wait for the blackout.  Wait for the night.  Wait for the night.  In darkness there is no sin.  Light only brings in fear.  Nothing to corrupt the eyes.  There is no vision here.  At first you may find it strange, but please don't go away.  There's power in the night time that you won't find in the day.  There is no vision here.  There is no vision here.  No vision here.
