Black Eyes

Her black eyes creep,
She stares at me,
She makes her way,
Through this maze,
The people wave,
Little cattle craved.
But prodded she,
Could never BE!
Walking Slow-ly as she presses up to me,
Taste so sweet, as I feel her start to breathe...
Take your time,
I’ll walk the line.
What’s wrong, what’s right,
She’ll know tonight.
She wants what’s mine,
And that’s alright.
She’ll rip up my world
Black eyed girls.
Well, I can’t take
Your killing me.
Your salty lips,
Grinding hips.
I start to sweat,
Our black eyes met.
She grabs a hold,
And here she goes...
Walking Slow-ly as she presses up to me,
Taste so sweet, as I feel her start to breathe...
Take your time,
I’ll walk the line.
What’s wrong, what’s right,
She’ll know tonight.
She wants what’s mine,
And that’s alright.
She’ll rip up my world
Black eyed girls. x2

Misery
02:53
|

|
She likes to beat up on
my conscience,
She likes to sit and watch
me bleed.
These fading dreams have
left me broken,
I swear there’s nothing
here for me.
Through the walls I hear her
screaming,
Yeah late at night i hear
her sing
I know misery,
Oh it knows me x2
She tries so hard to say
the right things,
She’s taking pills to numb the pain.
She understands her days are numbered,
And so defines her misery.
Through the walls I hear her
screaming,
Yeah late at night i hear
her sing
I know misery,
Oh it knows me x2
"Guitar Solo"
I know misery,
Oh it knows me x2

Under The Table
05:04

|
I think you're paranoid,
In all your selfish ways.
So what if I lose myself,
Get lost for a couple of days.
You say lets settle down,
But you see I'm not the one.
Let's turn this down a notch,
I'm trying to have fun, yeah.
Bitchin, moanin
It's all the same.
Bitchin, moanin,
What's in the name?
Underneath the table discreet,
Underneath the table we sneak.
Into your house,
Into your room,
Underneath the table we sneak.
I think I'm paranoid but,
I don't want you to see.
Everything that I have done,
Because it won't break easily.
She's pushing harder now,
And I know I got to go.
Cause you see I'm a simple man,
And I simply don't say no.
Cannot find the strength to say no,
Cannot fight these feelings on my own
Cannot find the strength to say no,
Cannot fight these feelings on my own
Bitchin, moanin
It's all the same.
Bitchin, moanin,
What's in the name?
Underneath the table discreet,
Underneath the table we sneak.
Into your house,
Into your room,
Underneath the table we sneak.
Underneath the table discreet,
Underneath the table we sneak.
Into your house,
Into your room,
Underneath the table we sneak.

Borrowed Time
03:40
|

|
Looking through the window pane,
Well, don't you see me?
I'm borrowing time again,
And sitting here, yeah.
Until I find what I came for,
it's been thirty years.
I can see the signs,
And we're fading fastly.
Understand this...
I can't feel you.
Aren't we, fading fastly,
But I can't see, I can't see you anyways.
Aren't you people fading fastly,
But I can't see, I can't see you anyways.
...Take a walk with me my friend,
Let's revisit the past again.
But i can't help you,
And you can't save me,
Have you lost your way again?
(Pre-chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus

Can't Get Enough
03:10

|
I love the way you look at me,
I love the way you smile.
I love the way you turn me on,
So sit and stay for a while.
Cause I'm the one for your,
An you for me.
Can't get enough of a good thing yeah,
I can't get enough of a good thing.
Can't get enough of a good thing yeah,
I can't get enough.
I love the way you lie to me,
I love pretending its true.
I know that soon you'll be asleep,
Tomorrow will be through.

All Used Up
03:28
|
|||
|
I've got a brand new attitude,
Since you left me here.
I've got a brand new attitude,
Since you left me here!
I've got a cordial smile written
on my face,
From all the bullshit let in place,
What was I supposed to do for you,
All you ever did was bitch, ah hell.
I'm all used up,
And I think I've hit a wall.
Nothing here for me to lose at all.
This is where I fall,
This is where we fall.
I've got a brand new attitude,
Since I left you here with all your shit.
You see I could not comprehend,
All the drama, pointless to the end.
Or late night I'm drinking with my friends,
Blowing up my phone this will never end.
I got a brand new attitude today,
You showed me that I am…
All used up,
And I think I've hit a wall.
Nothing here for me to lose at all.
This is where I fall,
This is where we fall.
I put in time for you,
And lost once again.
I fear for you my dear,
You've become one of them.
This is where I fall,
This is where I fall,
This is where I fall,
This is where I fall.

Take You Home

Hey, little lover,
Am I…Undercover?
Well time will tell for me and you,
After all the bullshit we've been through,
My little lover, little lover.
Time will tell me all I need to know, about you.
Time and time again I'm going home without you.
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
After all the shit that we've been through,
tonight…Now you're gone.
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Hey, little lover,
I guess…everyone's lover.
Well time will tell for me and you,
After all the bullshit we've been through,
My little lover, little lover.

Two Against One
04:39
|

|
Well, I'm taken aback,
As you let me down.
You look in my eyes,
Say I'm lost not found.
How many times must I go through this,
I thought we were, but again it seems I missed.
I'm standing in your front yard,
The pain it swallows me hard.
I plead my case its two against one,
You can't erase all the damage you've done.
I plead my case its two against one,
Ohhh…You only get one.
You used to say with those tears in your eyes,
You'd grab my hand, We'll never say goodbye.
Now I sit alone, and I wonder why,
Why someone else is holding you tonight.
I'm standing in your front yard,
The pain it swallows me hard.s
I plead my case its two against one,
You can't erase all the damage you've done.
I plead my case its two against one,
Ohhh…You only get one.
I plead my case its two against one,
You can't erase all the damage you've done.
I plead my case its two against one,
Ohhh…You only get one.
You only get one.

Tidal Wave
03:38
|
|||
|
Everything around you,
Everyone you'd choke.
Taking more than you needed,
You're becoming more than a joke.
I need some time to get away,
No I don't mind,
Pick up the pace.
Will you tell me,
When its time to go?
When I get down and I'm feeling low,
Then it hits me like a tidal wave.
I've been in this place for a little too long,
And it's time I made my getaway.
Everyone around you,
Everyone you know.
Took you for a big ride,
And left you all alone.

Sign Of The Times
04:00
|
|||
|
This armor's getting heavy,
Weighing on my back again.
The time has turned against me,
The pain is spreading quickly.
Don't make a sound,
They'll find me.
Don't make a sound,
They're coming to drag us to the end.
Screaming out to the city lights,
I can't beat them it's a sign of the times.
Cheating down all that is right,
I can't beat them it's the sign of the times.
Have we fallen too far away,
I swear this anger's killing me.
Your weeping eyes are full of sleep,
The weakness then begins to creep.
