Mudvayne Mudvayne Lyrics
1.Beautiful And Strange

I've got a splitting headache,
(two aspirin for the pain)
I'm on a wagon rollin,
(like a freight train)
Another darkest day,
(always in harms way)
Got a new bruise swelling,
(beaten by the bottle.)

So beautiful, and so strange.
Scatter all the pieces,
the puzzle will remain the same.
So hideous, so deranged.
Running through the tunnels
lost inside the maze.

Tremble like an earthquake,
(wait shifts inside me)
Crucifix I'm draggin'
(nailed to the hard way)
They wont forget me,
(the walls are bloodstained)
As my will unravels
(broken like a bottle.)

So beautiful, and so strange.
Scatter all the pieces,
the puzzle will remain the same.
So hideous, so deranged.
Running through the tunnels,
lost inside the maze.

So beautiful, and so strange.
Drop a little pebble,
lost inside of this headspace.
So hideous, so deranged.
Winding through the tunnels,
lost inside of...

Lost inside of me,
lost inside of me.

You stole the matches,
you lit the fuse.
You let the boils swell
I tied the noose on you.

So beautiful, and so strange (so strange)
Scatter all the pieces,
the puzzle will remain the same.
So hideous, so deranged (deranged)
Running through the tunnels
lost inside the maze.

So beautiful (you are beautiful)
and so strange (but not as strange as me.)
So hideous (like the voice inside me.)
So deranged (locked inside my gaze.)

Lost inside of me,
lost inside of...
Locked inside of me,
locked inside of...


2.1000 Mile Journey

Long's the life, steep's the climb,
I took the match and I lit the fire, fire
Pain for the pain, my guts ache,
built by the sin that was taught by the father, the father
Now come and walk with me

A Journey of 1000 miles, it starts with one step
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones

Deep is the hole, shovel's always full,
I bit the dog and I beat the master, the master
Eye for an eye, tooth's been pulled,
lost all control that was taught by the mother, the mother,
Now come and walk with me

A Journey of 1000 miles, it starts with one step
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones

Another feble man, arms outstretched in a distant land
wonders where it all went wrong
he's followed us too long
Another fallen man, that failed to make a stand
what have I done wrong, left here all alone
The voice inside my head, is it me or is it an alien
throw me down the stairs, since I just don't care no more

I can't take the wind, I can't fight the storm, anymore
I don't have the will, I can't be the storm, anymore

A Journey of 1000 miles, it starts with one step
plowing out the rows, the bleeding of the rose
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones

The hurricane's eye is like the calm before the storm
darkening the shore, setting the score
A butterfly's wings can start tornados don't ya know
harvesting the souls, burying the bones


3.Scream With Me

Ever feel like dying?
Ever feel alone?
Ever feel like crying?
Lost child in a storm

Ever feel like pushing?
Shoving me away
Ever feeling like breaking down?
Funeral in the rain
feel life slipping away

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head that's full of rage
But I believe it
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind that's like a fire
Driven by the pain
But I believe it

Ever feel like lying
down inside a grave?
Listen to the eulogy
a buyer on the hate

Ever danced beside the devil?
Taste the barrel of a gauge?
Ever pull the trigger?
The light begins to fade
Feel life slipping away

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head that's full of rage
But I believe it
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind that's like a fire
Driven by the pain
But I believe it

I've asked you for forgiveness
I've asked you for your grace
I've asked you for your blessing
I've asked that I be saved

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty,
A head that's full of rage
But I believe it

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head that's full of rage
But I believe it
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind that's like a fire
Driven by the pain
But I believe it

Stand in the corner and scream with me
A body full of empty
A head that's full of rage
But I believe it
Driven by the pain
But I believe it


4.Closer

Here's to the closing door
Here's to just one more
Here's to all the damned
Here's to the blood shed

Cant leave it alone, wont let me forget
Rip off the bandage, and tear out the stitch
Fed like a pig, off the shit in the dish
Shrouded in burlap, left for dead in the ditch
So callous, so cold, colors expose
The death of love as we know it
The death of trust in us, let go

Its getting closer all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
I'm getting stronger all the time,
I'm feeling so weak inside

I'm feeling better all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
Its getting harder all the time,
feels like I'm losing my mind

Tied to the tracks and cursing the name
Whiteout the thought, stare blank in the rain
Lethal and used, cast out the worthless
Befriending the foes, deception commence
So callous, so cold, colors exposed
The death of life as we know it
The death of mirth in us, let go

Its getting closer all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
I'm getting stronger all the time,
I'm feeling so weak inside

I'm feeling better all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
Its getting harder all the time,
feels like I'm losing my mind

Little pigs! Little pigs!
Let me come it
Not by the hair on your chinny chin chin chin
Then I'll beat, and I'll pound,
and I'll bash your fucking brains in

Here's to the splintered door.
Here's to you no more

It's getting closer all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
I'm getting stronger all the time,
I'm feeling so weak inside

I'm feeling better all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
Its getting harder all the time,
feels like I'm losing my mind

Its getting closer all the time,
I'm slipping farther all the time
I'm getting stronger all the time,
I feeling so weak inside
I'm feeling better all the time,
feels like I'm losing my mind


5.Heard It All Before

Past times are for laziness and past time is gone
Cant live in it, cant live with it
Hard times for the crying type are like a wrecking ball
Hard as a stone, cant let it penetrate
You've gotta believe in yourself, with your mind, with your guts
With your heart, make a stand
A stand against fools that will steal it away
Rip the heart from your chest and devour it

I aint selling what they're wanting to buy anymore, no more,
never
I aint listenin because I've heard all the bullshit before
Too many times before

Eyes of a dog will wander for food like a scavenger
You've gotta own, gotta defend it
You've gotta believe in the hunt, in the prowl, in the search
In the kill, I'm the alpha man

I aint selling what they're wanting to buy anymore, no more,
never
I aint listenin because I've heard all the bullshit before
So many times

I've. I heard it all before. I've heard it
I've. I've lived it all before. I've lived it. No more

The parasites sucking the life out of me, they're like cannibals
Bleed you for anything, bleed you for everything
You've gotta believe in the strength, in your mind
Of the soul, to the bone, what is real

I've. I heard it all before. I've heard it
I've. I've lived it all before. I've lived it. No more
I've. I heard it all before. I've heard it
I've. I've seen it all before. I've seen it

Heard it, lived it, know it, believe it
I live for no one, I'd die for no one

I've. I've heard it all before. I've heard it
I've. I've lived it all before. I lived it. No more
I've. heard it, seen it, lived it
I've. done it, know it, believe it
I've. Heard it all before. I've lived it ...


6.I Can't Wait

I am the plague, I am the rot
I am the bitterness
I am the war, I am the death
I am the crucifix
I am the sacrifice at the end
I am the fall of man
I am apocalypse, I'm the debt list
I'm your last breathe
I am sin
I am dancin'

I can't wait until it's over
All done and gone
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway
They say that dead men don't pull triggers
Well prove 'em wrong

I am catastrophe, I'm conflict
I am warfare
I am fatality, I am the wound
that's in your head
I am the dark, I am the fear
I am the orphan lamb
I am anxiety, I am the grave
I am nothingness
I am hate. I am lost faith

I can't wait until it's over
All done and gone
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway
They say that dead men don't pull triggers
Well prove 'em wrong
Well prove 'em wrong
Well prove 'em wrong

I'm empty!

I can't wait until it's over
All done and gone
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway
They say that dead men don't pull triggers
Well prove 'em wrong
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway
They say that dead men don't pull triggers
Well prove 'em wrong


7.Beyond The Pale

Instruments for surgery, amputate the cause
Misery of humanity is carving through us all
Emptiness resolves and falls with
Instances of perjury, lies flowing out like piss
Darken like the fall of day until we seal our end
Until they seal our end is nearing

Oh, I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men
that complicate it all
so beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, I'm so sick that I wanna spit the little men
Lying to us all
so beyond the pale that I'm rippin' like a chainsaw

Illustrate the tyranny, building up the walls
Each life represents a stone, as foundation crumbles
We all fall down with words that speak of blasphemy
With every breath of sin, damned until the fall of man
The day we reach our end
Until we reach our end is nearing

Oh, I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men
that complicate it all
so beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, I'm so sick that I wanna spit the little men
Lying to us all
so beyond the pale that I'm rippin' like a chainsaw

Oh, I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men
that complicate it all
so beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, so beyond the pale
complicate it all, so unacceptable

They make us all bow down, they keep us all locked out
It's time that we speak up, it's time that we speak out
Put the bombs away, put the guns away
Put the bombs away, put us all away

Words fall on deaf ears, signs for the blind
Words fall on deaf ears, our worlds collide

Oh, I feel sick got a bone to pick the little men
that complicate it all
so beyond the pale that I'm ticking like a time bomb
Oh, so beyond the pale
complicate it all, so unacceptable

Oh, feel sick, oh I'm nauseous,
oh fucking sick, unacceptable
Oh, so beyond the pale,
complicate it all, so unacceptable


8.All Talk

Where will you be when it all falls down,
Where will you be when it all comes back around.
Where will you be at the end of our days,
Just following the footsteps that the liars lead the way.

I could talk about love, I could talk about hate.
I could try to teach a lesson, but I doubt it penetrates.
I could give you all excuses 'til I'm blue in the face.
I could talk about serenity but it doesn't mean a thing, anyway.

Who will you blame?
Who will you blame?
Who will you blame?

Who will you blame for the surf-filled days,
Who will you blame for the hurricanes and tidal waves.
Who will you blame for the riots and the anger,
Just cryin' in the corner, wishing you would've had a say.

I could talk about love, I could talk about hate.
I could try to teach a lesson, but I doubt it penetrates.
I could give you all excuses 'til I'm blue in the face.
I could talk about serenity but it doesn't mean a thing, anyway.

Like a monster hides in your closet,
It's creeping closer, but we don't care.
Are we all insane?
If it's just a game, well I don't wanna play.

I could talk about love, I could talk about hate.
I could try to teach a lesson, but I doubt it penetrates.
I could give you all excuses 'til I'm blue in the face.
I could talk about serenity but it doesn't mean a thing.

I could talk about problems (I could talk about sin.)
I could talk about trial (But what do we really win?)
I could talk about forgiveness (Though I'd probably be
condemned)
Or I could talk about...


9.Out To Pasture

Like a worm, boring through
cinders and rock and ash
I think I need a broom
to sweep away the day
Cleanse of the shame we're in, I'm in
Like a stray, with the mange
worms and lice and matted
Think I need to bathe
to wash away the day
Cleanse us of the palate
rid me of the taste

You keep leading me,
you keep driving me
You keep pushing me
out to pasture to graze
Cant keep strangling
cant keep ignoring me
Cant keep choking me
climbing the clock tower

You keep telling us,
you keep shoving us
You keep forcing us
out to pasture to graze
You stopped listening
you stopped listening
You stopped hearing me
so I'm loading my gun

Like a bum, sifting through
dumpsters, trash and garbage
think I need some food
I've starved all day
cleanse us of the hunger we're in, I'm in
Like a snake sliding through
sand and dirt and desert
I think I need a tomb
To blacken out the day
veil me from the sunlight
keep me in my place

You keep leading me
you keep driving me
You keep pushing me
out to pasture to graze
Cant keep strangling,
cant keep ignoring me
Cant keep choking me
climbing the clock tower

You keep telling us
you keep shoving us
You keep forcing us
out to pasture to graze
You stopped listening
you stopped listening
You stopped hearing me
so I'm loading my gun

It seems to me
there are so some many things
They don't want to share
now doesn't that seem strange?
It seems to me,
its all for one but doesn't it seem strange?
When the ones for none,
not you, not me, no one

Doesn't it seem strange
that we don't know a thing
Doesn't it feel the same
as the cattle out to graze
Don't ya think its strange
that we can't find our way
Don't you feel the same

Doesn't it seem strange
that we don't know a thing
Doesn't it feel the same
as the cattle out to graze
Don't you think its strange
that we cant find our way
Don't you feel the same

You keep leading me
you keep driving me
You keep pushing me
out to pasture to graze
Cant keep strangling
cant keep ignoring me
Cant keep choking me
climbing the clock tower

You keep telling us
you keep shoving us
You keep forcing us
out to pasture to graze
You stopped listening
you stopped listening
You stopped hearing me
so I'm loading my gun


10.Burn The Bridge

No integrity no sincerity no credibility no regret
No principal no ethic no honor makes no fucking sense
No inside to the future no thinking and no respect
No authority no veracity no honesty no penitence
No pride no power
Just a criminal no morals

Your greed you'd burn the bridge around me to save your self
Your Envy, You can't be what I am even with my help
Gluttony, Take everything from me take it for yourself
My Wrath, I'll just live my own life

So Violent So Dissident No More Requiem so I lament
So Simple to Revere to respect down and left for dead
So forget my forgiveness you've all failed to protect
No Persistence, Insistence my will my stubbornness
Consume Devour Like a Criminal, no standards

Your greed, You'd burn the bridge around me to save your self
Your Envy, You can't be what I am even with my help
Gluttony, Take everything from me take it for yourself
My Wrath, I'll just live my own life

Before I saw the light I crawled through darkness my whole life
So empty
Before I found my life I embraced the death that's coming
So Certain, Drawing Near,
Its coming closer it's approaching

I know the signs
I've got the number
I got my vision
I know the motion
My eyes forever opened

You'd burn the bridge around me to save your self
Your Envy, You can't be what I am even with my help
Gluttony, Take everything from me take it for yourself
My Wrath, I'll just live my own life ...


11.Dead Inside

I don't feel good
Just an ordinary day
I don't care much
About what you think

It all wash's away
In the end
Under the skies so gray
In the end

We're all dead inside
Cant deny what is real
The pain I feel
Dead inside
Cant deny, all the suffering
Its just my way

I've seen enough
No more hurt today
All damage is done
No more life this way

It all washes away
In the end
Under the skies so gray
In the end

We're all, dead inside
Cant deny what is real
The pain I feel
Dead inside
Cant deny, all the suffering
Yeah

Every single one
From every single way
All they do is drag me down
And I know it'll never change

Every drop of blood
Flows right down the drain
Although I spilt it all for you
You'd never appreciate
You'd never appreciate

We're all, dead inside
Cant deny what is real
The pain I feel
Dead inside
Cant deny, all the suffering
Its just my way

Dead inside
Cant deny
What is real
The pain I feel

Dead inside
Cant deny
All the suffering
Its just my way
