I've got this sensation that you're on a mission to find happiness in the wrong place
Yeah you are nowhere near the position of power for you to control your own space
Things like these make me happy that I took some time to realize exactly what I want
You don't think like I do and that's fine but if you're gonna do what you want then just don't
Come to me with all your problems and worries about life
I am not gonna be on this crazy depressive and uncontrolled twister of a ride
You say you are not gonna rebel but you want "She's A Rebel" inked on your bare skin
This is not what I meant when I said that we could still be friends I am not gonna listen
To all your death wishes and prayers for punishment I just don't care
I really do not want to see you get hurt or do something that you will regret
But if you just go through with every single one of the things that you plan on doing
You are gonna find yourself stuck in a hole that you won't be able to escape from
You can cry, you can cut, you can scream at the top of your lungs "this world is a prison"
Just don't come to me with all your problems and worries about life
I am not gonna be on this crazy depressive and uncontrolled twister of a ride
You say you are not gonna rebel but you want "She's A Rebel" inked on your bare skin
This is not what I meant when I said that we could still be friends I am not gonna listen
To all your death wishes and prayers for punishment I just don't care
You're boring me you always have
I don't mean to be harsh but this is what you get

Dirty blonde Baskerville
Went to kill the bastard kid
She cut off his own two hands
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Sought revenge wanted to kill
The horrible cheatin man
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Filled with spite and evil
Was going to mark her name
Dirty blonde Baskerville
A basketful of anxiety pills
She'll never be the same
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Baskin' in the heating thrill
Of putting down an innocent man
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Asking for some trouble
She's got the blood on her hands
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Devil's eyes and leather heels
Is going on the run
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Wit as sharp as shotgun shells
Is having her own fun
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Suitcase full of bloody stills
Of what she just had done
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Doesn't care what anyone feels
She thinks she may have won
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Was only off the hook until
She couldn't run fast enough
Dirty blonde Baskerville
Sentenced to a life in jail
Well going to hell is tough

Brightness Comes To Town
05:30
|
|
||
I can see, I can see, I can see the sun rise
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel the light in my eyes
This is when, this when, this is when we're all here
And we can, and we can, and we can displace fear
Well I've met some people
That've wanted nothing to do with me
But I kept my pride
And I kept my sanity
I'm living in a western city, and I'm living in a brand new time
I don't let anything get to me, I just deal with what is mine
I'm living in the western era, falling out of the manic swirl
When brightness comes to town we're on the edge of the world
I am here, I am here, I am here to stay now
Nobody, nobody's gonna take me from here now
All around, all around, all around I can feel love
In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky above
Well I've met some people
That've wanted nothing to do with me
But I kept my pride
And I kept my sanity
I'm living in a western city, and I'm living in a brand new time
I don't let anything get to me, I just deal with what is mine
I'm living in the western era, waiting for the path to unfurl
When brightness comes to town we're on the edge of the world
I am free, I am free, I am free and I'm flying
I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here till I'm dying
I believe, I believe, I believe we can make it
If we fall, if we fall, if we fall we'll just shake it
Well I've met some people
That've wanted nothing to do with me
But I kept my pride
And I kept my sanity

Sunnyland
04:31
|
|
||
There's this place where dreams go to die
And no one cares for their lives
There's acid flowing in the streets
The junkies are living final weeks
Well the children of coke are just trying to keep their own grasps
And the meth taking madmen are flirting with their epitaphs
And the heroin harlots are lying asleep in the sand
And the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland
Every house on the block is decayed
Every heart is all tattered and frayed
Every girl's lost the swing in their step
Every guy's headed towards sudden death
And the speed freaks are tweaking and screaming for all of their lives
And the crack whores are slouching in pain wishing that they would die
And the dealers are stealing the night just to take one more stand
And the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland
As I stare into the eyes
Of the lost and broken lives
Of the ones who just didn't care
And are now pissing into the air
And the static from broken TVs is the sole sign of hope
As the damned and the damaged take part in trying to cope
And they scream to skies wishing God would lend them a hand
But the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland
All of the people are sick
Getting worse every day that they stick
To their habits that just slowly kill
All their feelings and prospers and will
And they're fighting to just get away from the dying course
As they fall to their knees and they cry out for Heaven's remorse
There's a group of dead souls and Lucifer's joining the band
And the kids are ruining their lives down in Sunnyland

You're Not Here
05:00
|
|

You and me - we tried to make it work
I hate to say it - but it didn't work
Nothing ever seems to work
I'm sorry that I have to be this way
You're just too far away
I know I've been distant - that's just the way it is
There's nothing you can do - to try and salvage this
I wish it'd be easier but it's not
It is just so much harder than I once thought
I know I promised that I would keep you near
It's just hard when you're not here
You're sweet but you're not here

Vicious Cycle
06:59
|
|
||
I sit there and watch the people
Stare into spinning glass eyes
They say money can't buy happiness
But some quarters can wash the stains out till it tries
No one wants to be there
It was never destiny
They just stand there watching, waiting
For something to pleasantly
Put a smile on their face
Even if it's just for a couple of days
Until they head back here again
Wash, dry, repeat till the end
There's a tangle in their heartstrings
That they can't seem to get undone
There's a certain array of misery
Overcoming everyone
They take their little carts
Fill them up and stroll away
Put their loads in their dressers
That's enough cleansing for today
They'll get to their minds tomorrow
And maybe souls next week
It's dysfunctional social activity
They just wash, dry, repeat
There is no redeeming
Mental value from repeating
Vicious cycle, brain and mind
Body's washed up, left to dry
Encaged by people, distressed by life
Go there for comfort, then leave and die

Coma
04:30
|
|
||
I'm lying still in a hospital bed and I'm living a virtual life
Distorted version of reality and I don't know what's happening outside
Maybe some day I'll arise from this place and go back to what goes on
I may fall deeper into all of this but I want to come out strong
And I'm still part of this planet but I'm not part of this state
Every night I wonder if I'm ever gonna awake
Yeah I'm still part of this planet but I'm not part of this state
Figureheads inside my mind ask if I'll ever awake
I've got a glimmer hope in my heart that soon I'll come back up
Get back in the routine of the life that I used to be a part of
There's an apostle who tells me that I will surely be okay
Then there's a prophet who ponders if I'll ever live again

Let Me Take You Home
03:53
|
|
||
You've got eyes as strong as sunshine
And your skin is soft as cloth
I like the way your lips touch mine
You're more than I ever thought
I have a request for you
And I hope you'll come along
Baby let me take you home
I feel your big heart beating
To the sound of the rain
We'll spend each night together
And from sadness we'll refrain
We'll stroll into the forest
And do whatever we want
Baby let me take you home
I know we're living far away
But we can make it work
Soon you can come over here
And be part of my world
We'll dance into the evening
To all our favorite songs
Now baby let me take you home
There's too much room in my bed
For just one soul to sleep
I'm trying to fight loneliness
With the promises we keep
It's time for you to travel
Forever never alone
Now baby let me take you home
