Strung Out

[fox69]

"Dig"

"Dig"


Well I don't want to make you angry
Don't want to talk about it
when you call and I pretend I'm not around
And I don't make good company
And one of us has got to leave
cause this is getting boring by now

Now I don't know
what I'm supposed to say
when I really want to do is try to run away
Gotta get away
from this showdown I know I'll never win with you

I don't want to feed the fire
And I don't to be the liar
but something's gotta give before I'm gone
Now I'm wrong if I don't say enough
And I'm wrong if I give in too much
So I'll take a bow and get out while I can

Now I don't know
what I'm supposed to say
when I really want to do is try to run away
Gotta get away
from this showdown I know I'll never win with you

Now here I go again
just like before I'm going down
I try to practice what I wanna say
but you won't listen anyway
Like every time before
one of us is out that door
Don't bother waiting for me
cause I'll be on my way
thinking of you

"Dirty Little Secret"

"Dirty Little Secret"


Wouldn't understand if I told you so
Wouldn't care to see if I tried to show
Wouldn't know what to do if I made you feel
Like I feel today so don't bring me down

So don't bring me down
Cause the world keeps turning

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet

Silhouette against the angry sky
These skyscrapers a mile high
Won't hide me long enough to get by
These troubles of mine are never that far behind

And what's coming to the helicopter sound
All this shit's going down
In the world right in front of me
I'm a suicide cause
With a sidewalk soul
I got somethin' in my head
And I'm going for a walk around

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet tonight

I got nothing but time
To take a walk and find
What I never could explain
Or make you understand
There's nothing in here you'd be interested to hear
So ignore me if this doesn't rhyme

I swear there won't be
I swear there won't be a next time
So walk on by if you see me in your way
Cause you wouldn't understand if I told you anyway
You wouldn't even care if I tried to explain

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet tonight

Won't stay quiet tonight

"Disneyland"

"Disneyland"


I want something more
From this misery called life
It's hard to keep my dreams alive
There's all this pain and strife
I dream of a place where all of us can hide
A world where my answers can never be denied
[?] I want to move to Disneyland
And forget about this place
What better way to get away
From the fucked up human race
I want to go to a world [?]
No way to make believe [?] to Disneyland
And I never want to I never want to leave [?]

"Diver"

"Diver"


There is a place I know through misery and stone
Under myriads neglected and cold
Where sadness blossoms overgrown

There's a shadow in the garden where we sit and wait alone

There is a grave beneath the shadow somber with neglect
No roses have been granted no prayer has been sent

There's a shadow in the garden where my love and I await
Silent as the day we left it all behind my little

Diver, we'll rise again
Diver, we'll live again
Diver, and the cities we once dreamed will open for us

And the ruins of another time another world
Will greet us on our way at the end of it all

There's a shadow in the garden where my love and I await
Silent as the day we left it all behind my little

Diver, we'll rise again
Diver, we'll live again
Diver, and the cities we once dreamed will open for us

Like a dream in darkness reaching out for you
Bone and dust in shrouded velvet me and you

To feel the sun against my back
You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd live it all again
You know I wouldn't change a thing
To walk out of this place and live

You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd do it all again

I wouldn't change a single thing
Just like a dream, we'll live again
We'll live again

"Don't Look Back"

"Don't Look Back"


Before you say a word
Before you turn away,
There's just one thing I gotta know,
are you still who you claim to be?

I've been told were all the same
Only difference is in the people that you wear

Growing up I thought Id never change
No apologies, always stayed the same
Now I don't look back

Ideals
And Blind devotion
Kiss loyalties goodbye
And Its growing what's inside that counts
Twisted, true and without a doubt

I've been told were all the same
Waiting for something that already came
Mind of confusion with no one to blame just waiting

Behind, locked inside your emotions
Caging, Releasing, It feeds your motives
Growing, Changing, is something you don't know,
Makes you feel you're losing ground

Growing up I thought Id never change
No apologies, always stayed the same
I'll never look back.

"Downtown"

"Downtown"


Tonight, I feel you coming down.
I feel you coming over me like broken glass,
Falling down to cut my dreams.
Now, if these walls could only talk,
They'd say no more than I can say here with a grin,
a bottle and Saint Anthony.

My thoughts are turning on me now
And the pace with every footstep, takes me farther down
The dark end of the street that you call home.
Confessions, stories, chances left behind.
All show their faces in every stranger that I find.

There's something you don’t wanna know.
There's something I don’t wanna say.
Transmission on the radio. No direction, no way home.
There's something going wrong with us.
There's something broken in our eyes.

Caress the emptiness and pour another drink
and wash away these memories,
These dirty walls with gasoline....
The faces here don’t have a thing to hide.
They tell the story of every broken heart survived.

There's something you don’t wanna know.
There’s something I don’t wanna say...
That if we make it out alive,
there's more to life than to survive!
There's something going wrong with us,
there's something broken in our eyes.

Tonight, I feel you coming over me.
Tonight, I don’t wanna feel a thing.
Now we never ever planned to go this far.
We never ever thought that it would get this dark.

There's something you don’t wanna know.
There's something I don’t wanna say.
Transmission on the radio. No direction, no way home.
There's something going wrong with us.
There's something broken in our eyes.

"Drag Me Down"

"Drag Me Down"


You gave in to your vice so quickly.
Now I die alone among these people I don't know.
And faces I've not seen - your masquerade it made me blind
Well now I see what I must do. don't know where I must go,
To run from tonight. we're gonna drag each other down again,
Gonna bring each other down. to make believe made it alright,
To turn our heads the other way
Made it seem like we could try to hide from all.
Well I'm sorry and I know
This hole we dig for ourselves will bury everything we feel,
Then bury us tonight. we're gonna drag each other down again,
Gonna bring each other down. I cannot ignore,
I cannot deny, I cannot feel at all, I cannot hide -
Just another day, just another war,
Just another time I must kill another part of me.

"Every Breath You Take"

"Every Breath You Take"


Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
Then at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep a-callin' baby, baby, please...

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you!

"Everyday"

"Everyday"


I'm preaching life
I'm preaching thought
cause I see it all around me
as it struggles to unfold on a world
born afraid

I don't need science, no reason
to calculate what's here inside
no answers won, no questions asked
will chase this feeling away

I know about hate
I've been in love
and I've seen everyone around me
close their eyes and turn to stone
I've seen hope in disguise

Well I'm not trying to save your soul
don't wanna show direction
don't wanna take control
I've been a lie
I've told a lie but I'm trying to get it better each day I try

Life shot in the vein
pumped in the heart
awaking my soul
knocked down
kicked in the face
shown the easy path is the hardest way down

I've drawn to one conclusion
that no one really understands anything
we're all grinding gears
don't know which way is up
once the soul is dead the mind ain't far away

Arhhhh!? Everybody Shutup!

On the steps of my mind one thousand thoughts decline away

"Exhumation Of Virgina Madison"

"Exhumation Of Virgina Madison"


No one knows where I buried my sweet Virgina Madison
The winter chill falls over me and keeps me numb inside
Under the moon, by the edge of town, she'll quietly wait for me
I promised it wouldn't be too long till I returned to sleep with her

She said she don't wanna live no more
Well I don't mind; no, I don't mind
So now I'm waiting for the crack of dawn
To head on back there to the place where me and her will always be

Now I got my Sunday vest and I'm headed out that door
I dig my fingers deep in soil just to get to her
All dressed in black and she's so pale, she's waiting there for me
A blanket of soil covers us to fall asleep in eternity

And now I close my eyes

When I awake with a snap, it was all a dream
I got an empty bottle of something under me
I got a really bad headache, my clothes are soaking wet
It's times like this I wish I hadn't slept

Star-locked gaze, uneasy hands
Then the dream fades away and leaves my head
Another riddle, another dream, another fucked-up fantasy
I gotta learn to stay away from all this TV

She said she will always wait for me
Well I don't mind; no, I don't mind
So now I'm heading to the place where I
Buried my sweet Virginia Madison
