    Ain't My Bitch

    Outta my way, outta my day
    Outta your mind and into mine
    Into no one, into no one
    Into your step but outta time

    Head strong, what's wrong
    I've already heard this song
    Before... you arrived
    But now it's time
    To kiss your ass good-bye

    Draggin me down, why you around
    So useless
    It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
    It ain't my bitch

    Down on the sun, down and no fun
    Down and out, where the hell ya been
    Damn it all down, damn it unbound
    Damn it all down to hell again

    Stand tall, can't fall
    Never even bend at all
    Before... you arrived
    But now it's time
    To kiss your ass good-bye

    Draggin me down, why you around
    So useless
    It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
    It ain't my bitch

    No way but down, why you around?
    No foolin'
    It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
    It ain't my bitch

    Ain't mine, your kind
    Your steppin outta time
    Ain't mine, your kind
    Your steppin outta time

    Draggin me down, why you around?
    No foolin'
    It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
    It ain't my...

    Bitch... you ain't mine

    The House Jack Built

    Open door so I walk inside
    Close my eyes, find my place to hide
    And I shake as I take it in
    Let the show begin

    Open my eyes just to have them closed again
    Well on my way, but on my way to where I've been
    It follows me as it takes me in its fog
    I twist away as I give this world the nod

    Open door so I walk inside
    Close my eyes, find my place to hide
    And I shake as I take it in
    Let the show begin

    Open my eyes just to have them closed once again
    Don't want control
    As it takes me down and down and down again
    Is that the moon
    Or just a light that lights this dead end street
    Is that you there
    Or just another demon that I meet

    The higher you are, the farther you fall
    The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
    My body, my temple, this temple it tilts
    Step into the house that Jack built

    The higher you are, the farther you fall
    The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
    My body, my temple, this temple it tilts
    Step into the house that Jack built

    Open door as I walk inside
    Swallow me so the pain subsides
    And I shake as I take it in
    Let the show begin

    The higher you are, the farther you fall
    The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
    My body, my temple, this temple it tilts
    Yes I am...

    Open my eyes
    It swallows me
    Is that you there
    I twist away

    Until It Sleeps

    Where do I take this pain of mine?
    I run but it stays right by my side
    So tear me open, pour me out
    There's things inside that scream and shout
    And the pain still hates me
    So hold me, until it sleeps

    Just like the curse, just like the stray
    You feed it once and now it stays
    Now it stays
    So tear me open but beware
    There's things inside without a care
    And the dirt still stains me
    So wash me until I'm clean

    It grips you, so hold me
    It stains you, so hold me
    It hates you, so hold me
    It holds you, so hold me...
    until it sleeps

    So tell me why you've chosen me
    Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
    Don't want it
    I'll tear you open, make you gone
    No more can you hurt anyone
    And the fear still shakes me
    So hold me, until it sleeps

    It grips you, so hold me
    It stains you, so hold me
    It hates you, so hold me
    It holds you, holds you, holds you
    Until it sleeps

    I don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it, no!
    So tear me open but beware
    There's things inside without a care
    And the dirt still stains me
    So wash me 'til I'm clean
    I'll tear me open, make you gone
    No longer will you hurt anyone
    And the hate still shakes me
    So hold me, until it sleeps
    Until it sleeps
    Until it sleeps
    Until it sleeps

    King Nothing

    Wish I may
    Wish I might
    Have this wish tonight
    Are you satisfied?

    Dig for gold
    Dig for fame
    You dig to make your name
    Are you pacified?

    All the wants you waste
    All the things you've chased

    And it all crashes down
    And you break your crown
    And you point your finger
    But there's no one around

    Just want one thing
    Just to play the king
    But the castle crumbled
    And you've left with just a name

    Where's your crown
    King nothing

    Hard and cold
    Bought and sold
    A heart hard as gold
    Are you satisfied

    Wish I may
    Wish I might
    You wish your life away
    Are you pacified

    All the wants you waste
    All the things you've chased

    And it all crashes down
    And you break your crown
    And you point your finger
    But there's no one around

    Where's your crown
    King Nothing

    I wish I may
    I wish I might
    Have this wish I wish tonight

    I want the star
    I want it now
    I want it all and i don't care how

    Careful what you wish
    Careful what you say
    Careful what you wish
    You may regret it

    Careful what you wish
    You just might get it

    Then it all crashes down
    And you break your crown
    And you point your finger
    But there's no one around

    And it all crashes down
    And you break your crown
    And you point your finger
    But there's no one around

    Where's your crown
    King Nothing

    Just want one thing
    Just to play the king
    But the castle crumbled
    And you've left with just a name

    Where's your crown
    King Nothing

    (We're off to never never land)

    Hero of the Day

    Mama they try and break me

    The window burns to light the way back home
    A light that warms no matter where they've gone

    They're off to find the hero of the day
    But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

    Still the window burns
    Time so slowly turns
    And someone there is sighing
    Keepers of the flames
    Do ya feel your name?
    Can't you hear your babies crying?

    Mama they try and break me
    Still they try and break me

    'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel
    These things return to me that still seem real

    Now deservingly this easy chair
    But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

    Don't want your aid
    But the fist I've make
    For years can't hold or feel
    No, I'm not all me
    So please excuse me
    While I tend to how I feel

    But now the dreams and waking screams
    That ever last the night
    So build the wall, behind the crawl
    And hide until it's light
    So can you hear your babies cryin' now?

    Still the window burns
    Time so slowly turns
    And someone there is sighing
    Keepers of the flames
    Do ya feel your name?
    Can't you hear your babies crying?

    But now the dreams and waking screams
    That ever last the night
    So build the wall, behind the crawl
    And hide until it's light
    So can you hear your babies cryin' now?

    Mama they try and break me

    Bleeding Me

    I'm digging my way
    I'm digging my way to something
    I'm digging my way to something better

    Poor Twisted Me

    Oh poor twisted me
    Oh poor twisted me
    I feast on sympathy
    I chew on suffer, I chew on agony
    Swallow whole the pain
    Oh it's too good to be
    That all this misery
    Is just for oh poor twisted me

    Poor mistreated me
    Poor mistreated me
    I drown without a sea
    Lung fills with sorrow, lungs fill with misery
    Inhaling the deep dark blue
    Oh woah is me
    Such a burden to be
    The poor mistreated me

    To finally reach the shore
    Survive the storm
    Now you're bare and cold
    The sea was warm
    So warm, you bathe your soul again

    Good to feel my friend
    Oh woah is me
    Such a burden to be
    Oh poor twisted me

    Wasting My Hate

    Good day, how do
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
    I think I'll keep it for myself
    Ain't gonna give no more
    Ain't got the time to help you score
    I think it's time ya pleased yourself

    Good day, how do
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you

    Think you're worthy now
    Think enough to even raise the brow
    And to laugh and tip that two pronged crown

    I see my hands, I see my feet
    I feel that blood that pumps in beat
    But where the hell's my mind goin' now?

    Good day, how do
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    But I'm so greedy when they say
    (It's) better to give than to receive

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    No, no ain't got time to waste my hate on you
    Yea, I think I'm gonna keep it all for myself

    Good day, how do
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you

    Hate

    Mama Said

    Mama she has taught me well
    Told me when I was young
    Son your life's an open book
    Don't close it before it's done
    The brightest flame burns quickest
    Is what I heard they say
    A son's heart's owned to mother
    But I must find my way

    Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama let your heart go
    Or let this heart be still

    Rebel my new last name
    Wild blood in my veins
    Apron strings around my neck
    The mark that still remains
    Left home at an early age
    Of what I heard was wrong
    I never ask forgiveness
    For what I said is done

    Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama let your heart go
    Or let this heart be still

    Never I ask you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness
    And now take to my grave
    Never I ask you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness
    And now take to my grave
    So let this heart be still

    Mama now I'm coming home
    I'm not all you wished of me
    But a mother's love for her son
    Unspoken, hear me be
    Yeah I took your love for granted
    And all the things you said to me
    I need your arms to welcome me
    But a cold stone's all I see

    Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama let your heart go
    Or let this heart be still

    Let my heart go
    Mama let my heart go
    You never let my heart go
    So let this heart be still

    Never I ask you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness
    And now take to my grave
    Never I ask you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness
    And now take to my grave
    So let this heart be still

    Thorn Within

    Forgive me father
    For I have sinned
    Find me guilty of the life I feel within
    And when I'm branded
    This mark of shame
    Should I look down disgraced
    Or straight ahead
    And know that you must blame

    I am the secret
    I am the sin
    I am the guilty
    And I, I am the thorn within

    Forgive me father
    For I have sinned
    Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
    So point your fingers
    Point right at me
    For I am shadows and will follow me
    One and the same are we

    I am the secret
    I am the sin
    I am the guilty
    And I, I am the thorn within

    I do your time
    I take your fall
    I'm branded guilty
    For us all

    So point your fingers
    Point right at me
    For I am shadows and will follow you
    One and the same are we

    I am the secret
    I am the sin
    I am the guilty
    And I, I am the thorn within

    Ronnie

    Story starts, quiet town
    Small town boy, big time frown
    Never talks, never plays
    Different path, lost his way

    Then streets of red, red I'm afraid
    No confetti, no parade
    Nothing happens in this boring place
    But oh my god, how that all did change
    Now they all pray
    Blood stains wash away

    He said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    I heard him, he said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    All things wash away
    But blood stained the sun red today

    I always said, somethin' wrong
    With little strange Ronnie Long
    Never laughed, never smile
    Talked alone, miles and miles

    Gallow calls, son I say
    Keep your smile, and laugh all day
    Think once again, in this boring place
    For little boys, how the soon change

    Now they all pray
    Blood stains wash away

    He said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    I heard him, he said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    All things wash away
    But blood stained the sun red today

    Yeah, well all the green things die
    When Ronnie go to the place
    He said, "Don't you dare ask why
    I'm cursed to wear this name"

    Now we all know why children called him
    Ronnie Frown
    When he pulled that gun from his pocket
    They'd all fall down

    He said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    I heard him, he said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    All things wash away
    But blood stained the sun red today

    The Outlaw Torn

    And now I wait my whole lifetime
    For You
    And now I wait my whole lifetime
    For You

    I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
    For you
    I search the outside, search inside
    For you

    To take back what you left me
    I know I'll always burn to be
    The one who seeks so i may find
    And now I wait my whole lifetime

    Outlaw of torn
    And I'm torn

    So on I wait my whole lifetime
    For You
    So on I wait my whole lifetime
    For You

    The more I search, the more my need
    For you
    The more I bless, the more I bleed
    For you

    You make me smash the clock and feel
    I'd rather die behind the wheel
    Time was never on my side
    So on I wait my whole lifetime

    Outlaw of torn
    And I'm torn

    Hear me
    And if I close my mind in fear
    Please pry it open
    See me
    And if my face becomes sincere
    Beware
    Hold me
    And when I start to come undone
    Stitch me together
    Save me
    And when you see me strut
    Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
