Judul Lagu : Song For Jacob



I saw Jacob, he lay in the street
He said the air out here is like amphetamine
And I never ever wanna sleep again
I wanna live till I die

The took all his money and all that he had
But he smiled with his eyes
and his face was bright red
And spit would run from his mouth when he said
I wanna live till I die

'Cause I am alive and there's blood in my arms
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
I will live till I die
Till I die

There's more inside of me than skin and bones
I am born again today and
all my sins are washed away
There's more inside of me than skin and bones

Jacob sat on the roof and he said
Some day the earth will cast out its dead
If you dwell in the dust then wake up and sing
I will live till I die

Jacob smiled when he said to me
I am not waiting on the Red Sea
To open up and rain pearls on me
I will live till I die
Till I die

There's more inside of me than skin and bones
I am born again today
and all my sins are washed away
There's more inside of me than skin and bones

As long as I live and there's blood in my arms
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
This is a day that is brighter than bombs.

Louisiana, in the Bucket of Blood
That's where they met, his eyes were like mud
Cause his whole life he had nothing to see
But he held on to her and he found peace

He'd take her walking down by North Shore
And he always told her
we're meant for much more
We outta go off somewhere so pretty
And then a storm came and fucked up the
Crescent City

And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing's not so bad
It could be the best time that we ever had

Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby we are wasted in this time
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby we were born to be adored

And I can feel them staring in my face
Like they're dig, dig, digging me,
digging a grave
It's like these people are dead they're so weak
And someone dug them up and gave them
words for their lips to beat

And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing is not so bad
It could be the best time we ever had

Judul Lagu : Slow Poison



Burn burn, house on fire
I'm so sick and tired
I can still remember your sound
And it's cut cut cutting me down
I'm locked and loaded
You're so milk and roses
And i am just a letdown of your hound
And It's cut cut cutting me down
Like slow poison
Cut down like slow poison

Sing me one more hymnal
I have found my angel
Ah-ah-oh
She walks upon the ground
And it's cut cut cutting me down
I'm an the empty can
I'm a stranger in a strange, strange land
Gone, gone, just gone without a sound
And it's cut cut cutting me down
Like slow poison
Cut down, like slow poison

And all my dreams are only dreams
And all my schemes are only schemes
And if this is my punishment
Then I want my crime to fit

Burn burn house on fire
I'm so sick and tired
I can still remember your sound
And it's cut cut cutting me down
Like slow poison
Cut down, like slow poison
It's cutting me
Like slow poison

If I put my hands around your wrists, would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth, would you bite them?
So many things that I would do if I had my way with you

I can keep secrets that I know that you want me
You could dig your nails into my skin and you won't stop me
You could twist and scream into the air but no one can hear you here

And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly

While your shouting friends that despise you to your face
What would they say now if they saw you in this place?
Naked and breathless, could you live with this disgrace?
Could you live? Could you live? Could you live with this?

And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly

If I put my hands around your wrists, would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth, would you bite them?
So many things that I would do if I had my way with you

And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly
Love me mercilessly

Judul Lagu : I Am Your Skin



And you know me now
like a mother knows a child
And you know me now
like I came from your own body
I can feel your pulse like a moth inside a jar
And even this is still too far
Even this is still too far

I wanna be your skin
I wanna feel everything you feel
I wanna be your covering

So let them come like an army against us
I know you won't be afraid
Because I am the armor upon you now
And we are never betrayed
There is no ending between you and me

I wanna be your skin
I wanna feel everything you feel
I wanna be your covering
And I will hide you inside of me
With every breath in harmony
I wanna be your skin
I wanna be your covering.

Judul Lagu : She's So Bendable



Ain't a soul who's seen
A loser like me
it was she, it was she
She put the devil in me
Wasn't me, wasn't me
I don't have it in me
(That remains to be seen)

Girls like you
Don't need a thing
Cause girls like you
Hate everything

You're gonna kill me
When you hear this song
Does she still love me
Or was I wrong
(I'm losin' track, please take me back)

She's so bendable
She's so bendable
She's so bendable
She's so bendable.

Judul Lagu : I Have Seen The Future



We are faster, faster than pain
We are a nerve ending without a brain
We have evolved, we have no feeling at all
It is a brave new world
Raise a glass in salutation
We drink to our annihilation

Was and will just make me ill
It is a brave new world
And we are faster than pain
We are dogs without a name
We are marching soldiers off to claim
The brave, brave, brave new world
I wanna dream it all away
And take a soma holiday

I take a gram and I only am
It is a brave new world
Raise a glass in salutation
We drink to our annihilation
Was and will just make me ill
It is a brave new world
And we are faster than pain
We are numbers in a chain
We are marching soldiers off to claim

The brave, brave, brave new world.

The Bravery - The Spectator

Judul Lagu : The Spectator



The birds are up when he collapses through the door
Spilling out in constellations on the floor
Soaked in liquor he's soft as bread ...
And everything that's left of him to beckon to his bed

He is a nocturnal always alone
But you'll speak in secret codes
That he has never known
In this world, but not of it
So he watches from above it
A visitor here, this is not home

Chorus
I am the spectator
I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child, to a man
Back to the dust where i began
I was never even here at all
I am the spectator
I am the spectator

His eyes, like two cats, scratching in his head
Begging him for sleep, starving for a bed
But sleep, it never comes
so he ticks the time away
Hour after hour, hear them play their bells go

Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time (x2)

Chorus
I am the spectator
I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child, to a man
Back to the dust where i began
I was never even here at all
I am the spectator
I am the spectator
I am the spectator

And the bells go
Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time (x3)

Chorus
I am the spectator
I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child, to a man
Back to the dust where i began
I was never even here at all
I am the spectator
I am the spectator
I am the spectator

She could be found out dancin'
At ludlow st. and stanton
Oh you should've seen her
Shake it up like orangina
And even though she's a liar
We got on like a house on fire

Even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when
Every little move she made was a ticker tape parade
And everything she'd say was a national holiday
And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
And even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when


With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

She was at thompskin square
Staring at the grass
Trying to make her eyes turn green
But it never last

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
Cuz we never knew when to say when
Even though she was my friend

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on


Over on 5th and C
She got her beers for free
And every time I came in there
She always laughed at me
She said, "why's this child in here?"
You look like you teach math
Your appled eyes betray

You've never known loneliness

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

Oh jack-o'-lantern man
We will see who's laughing then
Someday when push comes to shove
We will see who's laughing then
Oh jack-o'-lantern man
If you could see the rage inside of me

I could cut my veins and drown you in the flames
And I'd know, I'd know
I would know ecstasy
And I was only seventeen
Stir the blood spill the seed
Psilocybin all the time
Dirty water spill the wine
The birds outside, they never stop
Shut the window call the cops

Oh jack-o'-lantern man
I wanna see that smile turn cold surprise
We will see who's laughing then
When I piss in your hollow eyes
I wanna drown you like a kitten in the sink
I wanna see you bleed amethyst
Oh jack-o'-lantern man
We will see who's laughing then

with a skull full of piss
And I was only seventeen
Stir the blood spill the seed
Psilocybin all the time
Dirty water spill the wine
Kenneth Anger colored dreams
Underwater hide the screams
The birds outside, they never stop
Shut the window call the cops.

Come, come like sugar my love
Until the bitter taste is gone
These images then burn my eyes
Like the thumbprints of the sun
Come, come everything to please me
Candy canes on parade

Lay me in the sun till every trace is gone
I am bleached away, bleached away
Oh sugar pill I believe you
Oh sugar pill I wanna eat you up up up up
Now I am blissed out
I have kaleidoscope eyes
I'm light as cotton
I am wide as the sky

This is where my thoughts come to die
And I am happy
Oh sugar pill I believe you
Oh sugar pill I wanna eat you up up up up.
