1.Justified Black Eye
She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments
Seemed to take the longest time
Every single knockout dragout
Fight they ever had. Apologies and
Dignity denied he starts to
Laugh he starts to lie with
Suddenly psychotic eyes.
Every night she cried herself
To sleep she didn't recognize
Her own face in the mirror
Black and blue, so afraid
Intimidation like a child she
Hides away he would always
Try to justify what wasn't true
Justified black eye
Taken for granted she sleeps by
The phone waiting for a call
From him but it seems he's never
Coming home, 14 beers later
He is there without an answer
Once again she questions his
Lies he goes to bed with no reply
Tomorrow morning, different story
And he'll be a different guy
He'll justify her black eye with another lie
She packs her bags in great temptation
He's on his knees again he cries
A hug a kiss and a don't know why
As a tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and another
Justified black eye
2.Couch Boy
Sometimes the news bums me out
It doesn't get me off the couch
Where I belong I guess as world problems never seem to rest
Am I afraid, god yes I am
Won't somebody tell me why my T.V. claims were born to die like
this
Communicate don't separate, don't instigate a world of hate
Contemplate the situation
Negotiate those lazy ways, we've gone too far to slip away
Solution is an open invitation
And all this time we've had to change it
Now it's time to face it
Lazy, I am, realistically what can I do
I'll leave it up to the rest of you
You wouldn't like my point of view
Anyway, how can I stand alone and watch the weary world go by？
It's easy to see, when you haven't got a window
Just a screen
3.Soulmate
Monday morning, you woke up crying
The outcome of a stupid line
Said by some punk-ass on the street
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
It wasn't anybody you knew
Is it your old friend insecurity？
The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born
Tuesday night you were in a fight
The same old argument, black and white
It's something that's eating your inside
It's not the food, it's not the booze
It isn't anything consumed
So, is it becoming a problem you can't hide？
So, every time you thought that you were wrong you were right
The devil on your shoulder gives you strength in paranoia
The countless times you called a few
Your best friend 'til the end of time
They'll always be there by your side
Solidify conditions you've abused
What that means you'll never have a clue
More than just a life long friend
No social life I guess we can pretend
It's not like I care but anyway
You always wanna leave, you never wanna stay
Cause you think if you drink too much then you will lose it
You'll drink your security away
The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born
The little voice inside your head, annoying and confusing
That somehow tells you what to do
Socially you've lost your mind and basically you're out of time
You try to build so much it breaks on you
What that means you'll never have a clue
4.51 Days
51 Days without a trace or an indication
That his god would soon be here
To take them all away
Waiting for the final day and for the god
Who never came
They all ended up in flames
Moved by the power of a charming leader
With the love of god and the hatred of humanity
Led to a place where he could hide and lead
The blind, only to find, tragedy
Having his way with all the women
Cause his death would soon be here
Living his life in a dream
85 people, 23 children and a lot of the we're his
His to the end, never be free
He promised them eternal life
If they'd walk into a fire
Now we see the charred remains
Apocalyptic funeral fire
I guess he got was he desired
All in 51 days
5.Leave It Behind
When we came here it was done, I felt completely useless
Never learned to quite adjust and all along they knew this
Carousel would someday stop and throw us off in anger
I guess I didn't think I'd ever see this sitcom dramedy
They wrote the script for us already
It's not the time that makes us guilty
It's all done, the hatreds built, the walls divide
And when I die I'll leave you with these
Animals that think the future's in their minds
It's in their minds but they're so blind
And so I leave it behind, ecological man-made crime
And so I leave you behind to these miraculous, intelligent,
Incredible, extrodinary minds
Junk mail stacked into the sky, recycled paper and plastic
Then we said that we would try, decreasing figures were drastic
But it didn't do much good, nobody cares about it
Not much emotion in my neighborhoold, my apartment's made
Of wood I haven't given more than I could
It's not the time that makes us guilty
It's the ones before the ones that lit the fuse
Cancer causing smog injecting in the vein
That makes the world go round so fast
And you won't last, its in the past
6.Redemption Song
Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
All I ever had, is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
Redemption songs, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but oursekves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
All I ever had, redemption songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom
7.Straight From The Jacket
So sorry son you're worrying your mother
No explanation's gonna make it seem alright
Young boy, listen to your father
It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide
How does it feel？
When you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun
Tell me how it feels
Did you see your life flash right before your eyes？
Stop playing games and get yourself up off the floor
Young boy we're going to send you to the lions
The men all dressed in white, when you became undone
How does it feel when I might have brought you up
But you are not my son
So many times I tried to bring you up you brought me down
I won't consider you again stop looking at me like you care
I worked my fingers to the bone
I'm not your father or a friend
You might have lived here once but this is not your home
Tell me how it feels
You didn't mean much to me I didn't plant the seed
I'm not your father cause you didn't turn out right
Young boy we're gonna feed you to the fire
How does it feel？
When you're looking down the barrel of the loaded gun...
8.Fields Of Agony
How many people, how many have died？
I'm feeling lucky and afraid at the same time
How many times have you sat home and wondered why？
We always hear about the U.S.A. but not the other side
In fields of agony everybody dies
How many humans, how many does it take？
We get a cedar box they get a body rake
How many lives does it take before we can end this war？
Bring Johnny home soon
He forgot what the fuck they were fighting for
...In fields of agony
I don't want to die or be sent home on a cargo plane
A tag on my toe without my name because I'm one of a million
A million
How many weapons, how many do we need？
What about the economy, what about the economy？
You'll be the hero at the end of your catastrophe
It can't be stopped with unity with collaboration of
You and me...and human dignity...in fields of agony...
9.Fatal Flu
It taught you a lesson, how to be afraid
And how to understand your life is not a game
It's more than a lesson now you can learn no more from love
Even with that wisdom in your mind
There's still that poison in your blood
You wouldn't touch the breakfast that I made for you
How could you lie？
Losing weight, you look afraid, you're scaring me
I wonder why？
Victim of environment I cannot stand aside and watch you die
Everyday you went to school trying to maintain your cool
With people sitting far away from you
No lesson learned here prejudice prevails
You're an outcast to the ignorance of other people's mental
jails
Soon you'll be free you can live again my friend
Darkness is better than this live you live
Sympathy I give to you that is all that I can do
I'm sorry that you're stuck here with this fatal flu
There's not much I can do
They taught you a lesson how to stay away
Victim of your solitude one out of ten
And one was you victim of society's
Incurable disease, the fatal flu
10.Wood
It seems like you're in trouble and the finger points at you
It seems that you get mixed up in your many points of view
One sentence contradictions are your 'worst favorite thing'
And you believe that what you know is only what you read
I don't expect you to understand - I never thought you could.
With a heart of stone and a brain made out of wood
You never ask a question and the answers always there
We try so hard to give opinions but you don't even care
You leave the room when you are told there's so much more to
learn
Just give it time and you will find your knowledge was deserved
11.Alone
Life must be empty when living a lie
With something to hide and nothing to show
You have learned nothing but how to destroy
Things that friends love you couldn't leave alone
Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes
That we're not sixteen years old anymore
One day those people that used to welcome you with open arms
Will see you coming and hide then lock the door
People that listened to you were afraid
Even friends that knew you as a kid
Now you are sorry but you'll never change
Change the things that you already did
Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes
That the seeds have already been sown
Find your own garden because you still need space to grow
Until that time you will remain alone
Don't try to come around with your pathetic lies
Because I can see it in your eyes
That you will always be the same
And you will never have to say goodbye
It's time for truth and not for lies
That you have always told
Your trust was bought and sold you're all alone
12.Exit
Yesterday becomes tomorrow leaves you wanting more
So intricate becomes the bathroom floor
And even though you're in a ditch you dig a deeper hole
And I feel like I'm a shovel cause it's out of my control
Promised a change, didn't hear a word from you
Don't hold me back
The exit isn't somewhere in my heart
A promise of pain...we're back to the start
The reason that I still persist it's obvious I care
Been waiting by a door with no one there
It seems like you are locked inside my key don't fit no more
And you're walking on the land mines you laid down before
Promised a change I didn't hear a word from you
Don't hold me back
The exit isn't somewhere in my heart
A promise of pain...we're back to the start
