Prayers 04:42
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

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 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

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
10.
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
