Metal

Shouting Unheard from the Cradle to the Grave
Living Unknowing as a Modern Day Slave
Thought they could tame you and it seems they were right
Standing there staring like a deer in the headlights

---

I know that I need you in a way that you would never want to know
I know if I let you see the truth you’d be afraid and let me goYou are my everything
You keep me safe and whole and strong
But when you’re far away I’m fading
I’m worth nothing when you’re goneReach out, love
Reach out and save me if you will
When I am falling
Let me believe you love me stillI’m trying to train myself to keep me in and not to burden you
I’m trying to resist because you paint my reds with muted, placid bluesYou are my everything
Although I know your eyes are cold
Your love is freezing me
But please don’t leave me here aloneReach out, love
Reach out and save me if you will
When I am falling
Let me believe you love me stillTake what you want of me
Push me away and make me hurt
For being a parasite
It’s nothing more than I deserveReach out, love
Reach out and save me if you will
When I am falling
Let me believe you love me still

Midnight
Wandering off of the edge of King Street
Streetlight
Flickers along in time with my heartbeatCHORUS
Dark Alleys chasing
the streets catching up with me
No one could ever find me in the
cracks that I slip into
fences that I crawl behind
This city will be the death of meStrange sights
Blur my eyes around St. Mary’s
Headlights
and the angels still won’t help meCHORUSBRIDGE
Won’t somebody help me
Reach down from above
Show me some sign that there is
something outside of this urban nightmareShort life
Tossed away and too badly broken
Sharp knife
Cut away leaving scars like tokens

Doused in ruby red from head to toe with cheap perfume
Drawing every gaze from every f*cker in the roomTrading favors for any hit that you can score
All the glamor of a twenty-dollar back room whoreIn your eyes, I see my fate
All my dreams you decimateYou eyes lock on me and I feel that filth that excrete
You bring me to your level, uncover my self-deceitSet me up to take the fall
I’ll do whatever you ask of me
To taste the poison that you offer
I will do what you ask of me
You illuminate what I am
You shine a light on what I want to do
Decimate me by showing that
I am just another version of youI feel you get off on my rejection
And I can feel the sting of your infectionI hate you for loving that I hate my love for you
And I give in when your nails run down my back

In your eyes, I see my fate
All my dreams you decimate

Set me up to take the fall
I’ll do whatever you ask of me
To taste the poison that you offer
I will do what you ask of me
You illuminate what I am
You shine a light on what I want to do
Decimate me by showing that
I am just another version of you

You light the candle
you close the window
Lay down the children
and count the ammoThey’re closing in now
they’ve almost found you
you cannot hide now
they’re all around youReap what you sow!Blood! Blood! They’ve come for blood.
To send you to your grave
No signs of mercy
For sins they never forgaveThey’re over your wall
They’re people you know
They break the door down
You grab the crossbowReap what you sow!Back when all this began
you had to make a choice
God had failed you once again
to the winds you raised your voice

You hoped that they’d forgotten now
a day you’ll always rue
you made your bed a long time ago
and now it’s come to kill you

Say all of your last goodbyes
Steel yourself for pain
Lock the door behind you as you
face your fate ordained

A sea of death awaits you now
Here to set you free
You turn to blow your candle out
And finally you see

Reap what you sow!

I remember in 98′,
rounding up heads of state
to infect them with a virus of doom
Who’d have thought the antidote
readily available
in some new brand of women’s perfumeOne time we drilled a hole
aimed at the planet’s core
And dropped atomics 50 miles straight down
But the shaft was way off center,
all that it laid waste to
was some godforsaken Wisconsin townCHORUS:
Push the big red button
Let the fun begin
Fires in the sky
Panic sets in
Nostalgia for calamity
For that time we wiped out humanityThe attempt to redirect
an asteroid at the planet
Met with failure from day one
The cosmic ray was calibrated
in the wrong direction
And shot the rock straight into the sunI don’t like to recall
That time we tried to make a pact
With the Dalek race
Everything spoiled by that
pompous fool in a lil blue box
Oh how I hate his smiling faceCHORUSIn a more subtle plot
we tried to rig midterm elections
to get our puppet in place
Assassinate him, start a war,
be gone before it’s over
the fool came last in the race

I especially liked like the plot
to cause reanimation
of the unholy deceased
They rose up and turned their fury
on our former masters
until their energy ceased

CHORUS

Bridge:
The final solution was left to all the henchmen
To finally do what we’d always been told
Destroy civilization, like our masters tried to rule us
With some sadistic form of mind control

Finally we got it
Our masters never saw it
Cerebral meltdown, a creeping disease
We created the format
That destroyed neural contact
Pseudo-reality, beamed from TVs

CHORUS

Lay another dollar down
Deeper in the hole to nowhereFind me another soul to
Help me wallow in my nightmareBleeding, Alone, Reach Out
And find my best friend
Leading me down into another dead end
Empty him down
Another one is just behindChorus
Know the wrong choice and make it anyway
Come up with new ways to send you to an early grave
Stumble from one bad idea to dumber one
You know what it is…
I’m Blind Drunk and Drinkin’My head is somewhere else and
don’t care if I ever find itMaybe if I’m lucky I
won’t wake up in another cesspittBleeding, Alone, Reach Out
And find my best friend
Leading me down into another dead end
Empty him down
Another one is just behind

Know the wrong choice and make it anyway
Come up with new ways to send you to an early grave
Stumble from one bad idea to dumber one
You know what it is…
I’m Blind Drunk and Drinkin’

Discarded by the one that you wanted
Forgotten by the one that mattered
Abandoned by the one you had loved
Raped by the one that you trustedBeaten by the ones in power
Erased by the ones in control
Blinded by the ones who would guide you
Governed by the corrupt and uncleanAnother day spent trying
to concoct another scheme
Another plan to steal
another’s dreamAnother day knowing
you could be the better man
Another day choosing
another planAnother day learning
to destroy the things you hate
Another choice deciding
another’s fateAnother day moving
From the fire to the frying pan
Another day spent learning how to
f*ck Your Fellow ManStuck on the edge of a cliff
Hanging from the end of a rope
Drowning with no one to reach you
Shackled to the hood of a truck

Reaching for the one who can free you
Pleading for another chance
Hoping that someone will listen
Willing to trade your life for his

Another day spent trying
to concoct another scheme
Another plan to steal
another’s dream

Another day knowing
you could be the better man
Another day choosing
another plan

Another day learning
to destroy the things you hate
Another choice deciding
another’s fate

Another day moving
From the fire to the frying pan
Another day spent learning how to
f*ck Your Fellow Man

Learning to deliver more pain
Playing all the hands you are dealt
Knowing you’re becoming your masters
Hating that you’ve found your calling

Another day spent trying
to concoct another scheme
Another plan to steal
another’s dream

Another day knowing
you could be the better man
Another day choosing
another plan

Another day learning
to destroy the things you hate
Another choice deciding
another’s fate

Another day moving
From the fire to the frying pan
Another day spent learning how to
f*ck Your Fellow Man

Stand and Face the Opposition
They cannot tell you what to do
The never dying Opposition
You’re not the you you thought you knewStand your ground don’t ever falter
You know that there’s no turning back
Once you face the Opposition
You’ve wandered off the beaten trackNo!You cannot waste this opportunity
To shake the shackles from your wrists
Now time to Face the Opposition
Ruling with their Iron FistsApathy has kept you grounded
Indifference kept you in your chains
Now hatred of the Opposition
Has hot blood burning in your veinsGo!You stand and face the Opposition
It stares at you behind closed eyes
Start to believe its explanations
Backed up with perfect alibis

You can not beat the Opposition
For like a bolt out of the Blue
You understand the opposition
The Opposition’s only you

Baby, I get so scared inside and I don’t really understand
Is it love that’s on my mind or is it fantasy?
Heaven, is in the palm of my hand and it’s waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy?If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?Sometimes, its hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn’t always what it seems when you’re face to face with me
Like a dagger you stick me in the heart and taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep would you shelter me in your warm and dark embrace?If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If i close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?Will you ever take me?
No I just can’t take the pain
Would you ever trust me?
No I’ll never feel the same (oh)(instrumental)I know I’ve been so hard on you
I know I’ve told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I’d wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
will it all remain the same? (Oh yeah)

Close your eyes…
Close your eyes…
You gotta close your eyes for me……….
