Strung Out

"Analog"

"Analog"


Through the coolest haze
of this dreamlike maze
it has begun
and all I wanted you near

With these wounds I bled
a perfect tone of red
in isolation
through the swollen eyes

Of the dying, and my waking dreams
we're all dying to become what we swore we never would

Now I watch and mourn in bloom

You take the way you know
I'll take the road unknown
and meet you there
at the end of time

We are frequency
we are tragedy
we are the love
we need to keep us here

We are the dying, we are the hungry ones
we are the waiting forever faithful
when I see you on the other side
I will not be the same
as I was when I was yours

How I wanted you near

We are the dying, we are the lonely ones
we are the heartache forever waiting
when I see you on the other side
I will not be the same
as I was when I was yours

We've got the anger, fear and isolation,
exiled to this place.
We've got the pain, separates the tragic years
I've gone through all this waste
and when we finally separate ourselves,
the world we choose to leave behind
I will not be the same
as I was when I was yours.

"Andy Warhol"

"Andy Warhol"


I never was much good at walking lines.
I never learned the right steps to the straight and narrow path
and I regret to say I don't remember faith in anything.
So I found a my own way with a little help from my friends.

You can't write a song if you've never lost anything you've truly loved.
You can't start a fire crying in the rain.

Cuz we all play a part in history and we all end up just a memory.

Round here it's either do or die.
No one really wants to know your name or cares where you've come from.
All the pain you think you know there's always someone just below,
gettin' by just living high the story goes.

So light a fire, leave it all behind.
Hit the road and lost your mind.
Steal a heart and find what you really need.

Cuz we all play a part in history then we all end up just a memory
to someone else we leave behind.

Gonna leave this place behind!
Don't regret what you never tried.
Sing what's left inside.
When nothing really matters you got nothing left to lose.
Look to me for something to believe.

You can't write a song if you've never lost anything you've truly loved.
You can't start a fire crying in the rain.
So light a fire, leave it all behind.
Hit the road and lose your mind.
Find out what it is you really need.

Cuz we all play a part in history and we all end up just a memory.
Cuz we all play a part in history and we all end up just a memory.

"Angeldust"

"Angeldust"


Broken angel you sway helpless through the desert wind
As your enemies they come to pick your bones
You're an anomaly so graced to be a lie you told in leisurely
A passing fascination with obituary eyes
So long to go
Before these alabaster hands ever let go
Meticulous in ritual you made a science of your pain
Where all your bleeding hearts and hungry minds divide along the way
So in love with all you could not be forever doomed to wonder aimlessly
Never really knowing all the pain you're gonna find
So long to go
Before these alabaster hands ever let go
Swayin' in the California haze
In angel dust we all do blow away

We bleed this love alive
Straight faced to suicide
When all these words mean anything?
What good will come of you and me?
Just growin' old and none the wiser
Fall apart and then your time to fall again get up again and on and on

Wasted breath in blackened lung and shortness of belief
Exercise your demons when you dream
The secrets that you keep inside are all you've ever known
Pay to ride and fuck to die reinvent another you
But that never stops that march right off the cliff in a single file
These angel wings will never take the weight of the fall
A question lost in time a tasteless joke a secret smile
To fall apart an' get up again and on again and on again

We bleed this love alive
Straight faced to suicide
When all these words mean anything?
What good will come of you and me?
Just growin' old and none the wiser
Fall apart and then your time to fall again get up again and on and on

"Anna Lee"

"Anna Lee"


You hold this place inside my head you're a symphony of hurt
The daylight passes through me To another crippled verse
Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends;
Right back where we started pain dead flowers on the bed
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark we all see what we know
It's the space that scares us so
You lead me to your garden where only dead things dare to grow
You convince me I deserve the thorn you've tried so hard to show
Normalness escapes me to the point of no return
The memories around this place keep us from movin' on
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark we all see what we know
Its the space that scares us so The endless balmy air we breathe
This city's startin' to get to me tonight
I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here
I find the comfort in the pain I always cause...all night
She says she might wait around for me
To come along with a promise and a dream

"Ashes"

"Ashes"


There's a blood stain on the floor
By the door where your whole world fell and died.
There's a silent chair in the corner of the room
Where you sat alone and cried.
Well she got something to say to you,
But the words never mean a thing,
So she took that needle to her pain and set herself free.
Burn! burn it to the ground.
When times got tough you got a little tougher
Then you slowly fell behind.
Running to catch the things you could not see,
Running to catch what you could not find.
Well I never wanted to need you, now it's time for you to see,
This forgotten pain that you tried to hide, buried in your apathy.
Burn! burn all to the ground...

"Asking For The World"

"Asking For The World"


I'm not asking for that much
I only want the truth
when you tell me how you feel
I'm not gonna play the games
that make you feel like shit
I'm not asking for the world
How many times must we tell each other
lies and separate our lives
I wonder what went wrong
I'm not askin' for the world
when were young it's only fun
it's just the chances that you take
now we're grown up and we're fucked up
and we make the same mistakes
we keep repeating the same beating
like it's not a choice to make
and then we're lying and denying
what we won't refuse to change
I feel like I've been through so much shit
so many dysfunctional relationships
that I don't know what to feel anymore
I'm not asking for that much
just be real with me
I'm not asking for the world

"Away"

"Away"


Underneath the moon in a place far away
I know a place where we can run away.
If you believe in me and you let me lead the way.
I take your pain, I'll wish it all away. so far away.
I'll take you by the hand, tell you never to fear
In a world where we can be one so far away from here
We'll kiss the sky together among the stars
We will play they'll never ever find us in our castle,
So far away well I just can't seem to forget the places
That I've been why don't you help me
Understand the things I really fear when the words,
They never come out right
And the things you say never mean a thing thing,
When you look me straight in the eye and say everything's alright.

"Barfly"

"Barfly"


One more fix just a little bit of that
Heaven I found crawling in the sun
Sitting, waiting, calling me
To indulge in this game that'll set me free

Another wasted night and here I am again
Promises remain just promises and I don't know why
A moment of weakness is a moment of clarity
I know what I want
Why fight the temptation when it's all you've got
When it's all I've ever known

So I give in to the ways of the past and start to suck
Once again I drown myself delivering from all I've gained
Lies to myself always seem to justify the means
I've got no time to listen to your good advice
I'm doin' just fine
Down on my own down here

I know one day this dance will bring me to my knees
It's only a matter of time before I fall again but that's alright
It's the little things in life that always mean the most to me anyway
So what if I go with a little piece of heaven to take the edge away

Just like the living dead that walk around this place
It's not so bad here in the closet, found the peace of mind I never had
Call it escape from reality, I call it looking at the world
With both eyes open wide to the truth, yeah

I wanna be found smilin' when I die here
I wanna burn my eyes out on the sun
In heaven's basement you're the one that killed me first
Another endless night goes down

One more fix just a little bit
Of heaven I found crawling in my sun
Sitting, waiting, calling me
To indulge in this game that's gonna set me free
A moment of weakness is all I got and it's all I've ever known
Another wasted night and here I am...

"Bark At The Moon"
(originally by Ozzy Osbourne)

"Bark At The Moon"
(originally by Ozzy Osbourne)



Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's Returned to kill the light
Then when he's found what he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Ha Ha Ha Ha

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon!

They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell - Unholy One
But he's returned to prove them wrong, So wrong
Oh, Yeah Baby!

Howling In shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell

Then what he's found what he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon!

oh, Yeah Bark at the moon!
woah, Yeah Bark at the moon!
woah, oh oh yeah Bark at the moon!

"Betrayal"

"Betrayal"


This engines revving
And the tires are burning
The smell of asphalt lingers in the air
My head is spinning
And my thoughts are burning
The ground is shaking with every stare

Tell me where just tell me how
Tell me where I'm supposed to go
A thousand miles down this one way street
Where it stops I don't know

Hallucinations feeding desecrations
Never bargained for a ride like this
Lying disgrace has locked me up
My fate down and out but not alone

So

Tell me where just tell me how
Tell me where I'm supposed to go
A thousand miles down this one way street
Where it stops I don't know

[Spoken:]
A one way trip to the center of my spine
To the desert I call my mind
And in my rearview I'm watched by the same set of burning eyes
Will you assure me I'm home-free?
So I shift into neutral and I let it ride

I've dug my grave and locked my door
No prayers gonna save me now
This machines superficial fate just awaits
I've lost all control of my world

Tell me where just tell me how
Tell me where I'm supposed to go
A thousand miles down this one way street
Where it stops I don't know

Bridge of ASHES

Burn all the things that you feel inside
You gotta watch your fucking war cause your gonna die
Burn all the things that are slipping away
And watch the fall of society
Ash to ashes dust to dust
Outside the temple where we used to burn
Burn all the things that are slipping away
Burn everything thats fucking up society
Burn all the dreams that you keep inside
Ya burn them all back to the ground.
