What If Tomorrow Never Comes

What If Tomorrow Never Comes

Sold my life ten for none
Will my savior call me done
Life on land, time falls from me
Red hot sands from burning sun
Oh, my life
Highter pastures, dying sheep
Time for war dance, passions of thieves
All my life...it comes
Just like the way you used my life
What if tomorrow never comes
As if you thought you'd read my mind, mind
Where I came from, kill for needs
Empty hearts fall short of greed
Men in face paint, tribal laws
Winds can change, I refuse to bleed
Just like the way you used my life
What if tomorrow never comes
As if you thought you'd read my mind, mind
What if time stands still for years
Youth and lightspeed, life can freeze
All my life can freeze
Just like the way you used my life
What if tomorrow never comes
As if you thought you'd read my mind, mind
Just like the way you used my life
What if tomorrow never comes
AS if you thought you'd read my mind, mind

Lies

Lies

Caught on a whim, pressure's building up now
All out of wind, it's a frantic race
Politics, lunatics, it's the mad man's law
Traveled the light, blinded brim shaded sun rise
Fought all the laws just to prove I was right
All out of wind, I've been stuck in the mad man's world
Caught in the truth, you feel the lie
Button your shirt, try to lose your tie
Lies, lies
Walkin' a life on a path straight and narrow
Camera shot you a curse pic of dread
Tryin' to cover a life, under gun by man
Caught in the truth you feel the lies
Button your shirt, you lose your tie
Time can't over feed the lies
Don't you know you could lead this paradise
Caught in the truth you feel the lies
Button your shirt, but lose your tie
Lies, lies
Time can't over feed the lies
Don't you know you could lead this paradise
Time can't over feed the lies
Don't you know you can lead this paradise, paradise

Life In Stone

Life In Stone

Silouettes of evil lives
Have cursed my mind with lies
Evil men with evil minds controlling time in time
An urchants net of fear has swollen gills of bloody moles
It's power in the money made selling every feeling saved
You call it liberation, makin' rules to fit your needs
You make your own religion
Filled politics and greed
Your money makes a net
A fiery web to hold you cold
Levels of distortion split your neck and rot your soul
Injections of rust
Trusting only me, I want to let my mind burn to coal
Unwanted for love, unwanted landmines
Write my broken life in stone
Release you of your pain
You breed my anger everyday
Dress the wound, give time to heal
The price you have to pay
Fallout covers land like snow
Your hands are in the soil
Grasp a root, pull up a tower
Clouds of smoke breathe acid rain...shit
Grade the mountains, open up the sky
Dress the wound, and cover up a lie
Write my book, in broken stone

Livin' On Luck

Livin' On Luck

Bily earned a right
ticket to another way
Gotta tell his mom
Heaven is a better place
Everything inside
Makes him wonder why he's here
There's no way out
No way out
Everything you hate
Everything is all for you
Typlically amused
By every little thing you do
There's no way out
Oh I...I been lookin' for the answer
Oh I...I could paralyze the dancer
Oh I...broke a mirror seven years ago
But I've been livin' on luck
Blood is on his hands
Of a weaker man in shame
Nothing is for real
He's goin' to the cell again
Oh I...I been lookin' for the answer
Oh I...I could paralyze the dancer
Oh I...broke a mirror seven years ago
But I've been livin' on luck
Billy earned a right
A ticket to another way
Gotta tell his mom
Heaven is a better place
Oh I...I been lookin' for the answer
Oh I...I could paralyze the dancer
Oh I...broke a mirror seven years ago
But I've been livin' on luck
Oh I...I've been swimmin' in the ocean
Oh I...it's a secondary notion
Oh I...Get up, get out, get off of me
Livin' on luck

Freakshow

Freakshow

Betcha thinkin' that the world is wrong
Betcha thinkin' that the world is sin
Betcha thinkin' that I'm takin' all the wreckage
And I'm leakin' all the info
Just to pull you in
Betcha livin' like a homeless bat
Double takin' watch your back
For me you been livin' every second
Doesn't matter what you're fearin'
Cause you're fearin' every second that you're here
Take it away
I can't take it, can't take it
We're back!....Face of the freakshow
Back, you are a freak
Take another
Try to piss you off
Take another
Takin' nothin' from me
Cultivated, overrated
I'm thinkin', I've been drinking
I've been sicker than a rat at sea
Try to blame me for a suckers fall
But you were dealin' all the cards to me
Take it away
I can't take it away yea
Talkin' to an angel
Bought a ticket to a devils deal
We're back!....Face of the freakshow
Back, you are a freak
Come on up and see the show
Gotta catch a tiger by the toe
Get a freaky trip again
One million dollars
In corporate collars
Sold out forever
All to endeavor
In spite of my share
You took the money and ran
We're back!....Face of the freakshow, back
Take it away
I can't take it, can't take it
You are a freak

The Itch

The Itch

Oh did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Cause it's eatin' at your mind
You need it all the time
Beggin' on account of your fix
Oh did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
You're crawlin' on the sand
With your face in hand
Rummage through the trash of your life
Wipin' off a page
Just to read all the hate
Givin' up the hope to survive
Lady, don't you call yourself my mother
I've been runnin' all my life
To find why
Oh did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Cause it's eatin' at your mind
You need it all the time
Beggin' on account of your fix
Did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Cause it's eatin' at your mind
You need it all the time
Beggin' on account of your fix
Did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch

My World War

My World War

Sister told me
I've been brain dead
Lost my home
That's a drag
I can see the only way to hurt you
Taking me to toy a life of virtue
I can feel it
Burning like from under
I can feel it
Burning from within
Trip my switchblade
Shine my steel plate
Save my life from revenge
I can breathe
A cold to make a thunder
I believe
My soul is infrared
I can feel it
Burning like from under
I can feel it
Burning from within
Every nightmare haunts your bed
The only place you're safe from dead
So help me god I'm comin' back
.....Portland, Oregon
Yet another victim of this heinous trail of street violence takes a fall
as the townspeople cry for more police officers and stronger law enforcement agents
to man the streets of a town where violence and crime have taken its toll...

I can feel
The world is crawling under
I can free
The world of my kind
It's my joke
I am your public enemy
I can feel it
Our world war
Victim's hosst hope
Vendors sell dope
Save my whole human race
If you bleed
You're only for surrender
I can feel
My soul is infrared
I can feel
It lying like your brother
I can see it
Squash you like a bug
Every nightmare haunts your bed
The only place you're safe from dead
So help me god I'm comin' back
I can feel
The world is crawling under
I can free
The world of my kind
It's my joke
I am your public enemy
I can feel it
Our world war
I can feel
The world is crawling under
I can free
The world of my kind
It's my joke
I am your public enemy
I can feel it
Our world war

Where Their Children Play

Where Their Children Play

Seven years ago
This old man said to me
Sittin' on his haunches
He's tellin' me to get a life
Now, money in a jar
Never got him far
But his story is heavier
Than you'll ever know
He said "live for me and die for me
And my miracles will set you free"
But I said no
I don't play that devils lie
Yea...set a road in the garden
Pulled the sword from the stone
And the water you're walkin' on
Has got me thinkin'
I've been all wrong
And I've been readin' the story
While I'm wastin' the years
And I've been runnin' with some bad brothers
That've been tryin' to rip my bloody tears
The stage was black
Lights we feared
Your limbs like a puppet
?These are scars of the years
It's a sexual feeling
It's the root that stresses your brain
Livin' on the threshold of evil
And you're tryin' to trip on morphine
On the corner of Phoenix
On the cross of gold bridge
Tryin' to change your life for the better
Gotta cross the bridge
I gotta cross the bridge
The stage was black
Lights we feared
Your limbs like a puppet
These are scars of the years
Tied in ropes to keep you home
Building walls to keep you away

cables connect
There's nails to mend
But what mends the heart
Where their children play
Set a road in the garden
Pulled the sword from the stone
And the water you're walkin' on
Has got me thinkin' I've been
Got me thinking' I've been
The stage was black
Lights we feared
Your limbs like a puppet
These are scars of the years
Tied in ropes to keep you home
Building walls to keep you away
Cables connect
There's nails to mend
But what mends the heart
Where their children play
Tied in ropes to keep you home
Building walls to keep you away
Caables connect
There's nails to mend
But what mends the heart
Where their children play

Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday's charade
Made us all kneel down and pray
And we thought about
The way we had it made
Yesterday's hoorays
Seem a little bit cold today
When I try to talk
I'm lost for words to say
I try to run
Try to run back now
Try to love
But I don't know how
How to love again
I'm giving up
Giving up my vows
I tried to leave
But I got kicked out
All the doors that lead
Have opened paths to yesterday
Silence writes a page
In a diary I once made
But I don't care
Who can read it anymore
I try to run
Try to run back now
Try to love
But I don't know how
How to love again
I try to dream
But I'm all dreamt out
I try to sleep
But I just can't fake it
All the crazy dreams
Have broken paths to run away
Voices I speak in sleep
Tell the secrets that I keep
In the night you've got your ear
Against my door
I try to run
Try to run back now
Try to love
But I don't know how
How to love again
I try to dream
But I'm all dreamt out
I try to sleep
But I just can't fake it
All the doors that lead
Have opened paths to yesterday
Yesterday's charade
Made us all kneel down and pray
And we thought about the way we had it made
