Paralyzed

Boy,
I lived in your squalor
I lived in your shit
and all your places of shame
I breathed in your poison
swallowed your filth
played this ridiculous game
Boy,
I sat at your table
I took your abuse
you just spat in my face
you stole my data
My brand and my blood
until I was erased
when I resisted
you called me criminal
but truth ain't your ally
not even close, it ain't no friend at all
Paralyzed
Give me strength to go on
Paralyzed
Give me the power to stay strong
Boy
Ok, you've got it all
you've got money, power and control
Will you lead us away from the brink
Before we start to fall
Boy
Are you wise enough to see the truth as it slaps your face
Foolishly you put commerce ahead of the whole human race
when we resist
you call us criminal
but the truth ain't your friend
And you've got no friends at all
Paralyzed, Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Give me strength to go on
Paralyzed
Give me the power to stay strong
Paralyzed
10 billion people caught in the fray
Paralyzed
In the blink of an eye
our existence melts away
our existence melts away
Paralyzed

End of Days

End of days
tripping uptown late at night
doors are locked, I'm out of sight
I'm cruising just cruising
stores are empty, bars are closed
apocalyptic tears, who knows
cruising, I'm cruising
and it feels like the end of days
And these fears, not just words I say
I feel it's the end of days
wish they'd all fade away
shutting down all signs of life
emotions off, a dimming light
I'm losing, losing
Broken down, a shell of me
There's a crack along eternity
losing Are we losing
and it feels like the end of days
And these fears, not just words I say
I feel it's the end of days
wish they'd all fade away
fade away ooooh
fade away
oooo-ooooh-oooh-ooooh
fade away oooooooh
fade away
and it feels like the end of days
And these fears, not just words I say
I feel it's the end of days
wish they'd all fade away
ooooo-oooooh-ooooh
ooooo-oooooh-ooooh

Head on the Wall
03:42
|

Blond .. girl ... at a cock – tail bar
“Where did things go wrong?”
“Gave him everything I had
And turned my insides out”
Cranks ... herself ... to oblivion
Blind to the real
Goes downtown to pay the bill
Sucks deep in denial
Some say
No way
Can't get to heaven on your knees
Too late
Bad date
Here's 50 bucks in disease
Some don't listen well
Others gotta lose control
But she's got no sense of it at all
Some don't pay the bill
Others dig a living hell
But she still bangs her head on the wall
Let it out / Some don't listen well
Let it out / Others gotta lose control
Let it out / she still bangs her head on the wall
Let it out / Some dig a living hell
Let it out / she's got no sense of it at all
Some don't listen well
Others gotta lose control
But she's got no sense of it at all
Some don't pay the bill
Others dig a living hell
But she still bangs her head on the wall

Eyes Up
every l'il thing
come out your mouth
they're lies of desperation
every word
that you say
float far beyond the truth
every thought, just verbal junk
I know cause
i've been listening
only thing you ever meant
was bye
and i got proof
Eyes up
Climb up & out the gutter
Eyes up
Get strong & crack the whip
Eyes Up
Tell the truth, try not to stutter
ya best believe
get what ya need
uh uh
give it good
ya
every l'il thing that you do,
so vile and
so deceptive
every action
that you take
so foul & self-absorbed
Got to break
for a double take
look deep into the mirror
Gotta track
who's staring back
then "bam"
kick down the door
Eyes up
Climb up & out the gutter
Eyes up
Get strong & crack the whip
Eyes Up
Tell the truth, try not to stutter
ya best believe
get what ya need
uh uh
give it good
ya
talk small
walk tall
be brave
Humans should
live well
don't tell
Eyes up
Climb up & out the gutter
Eyes up
Get strong & crack the whip
Eyes Up
Tell the truth, try not to stutter
ya best believe
get what ya need
uh uh
give it good
ya

Lose It
03:51
|
|||
every now and then i get a little bit tired
every once in a while i kinda lose it
every now and then i have a shameful desire
and i want take this life and bruise it
you take a tiny step up but they push you back
you want it full of light but they paint it black
you take a big deep breath as they start to attack
what in the world can you do?
every now and then i get a little bit closer
every once in a while i feel I'm in it good
every now and then i have a need to be bolder
then i want take this life and throw it
you take a tiny step in but they push you out
you think you've got it made then you're filled with doubt
you wanna hold it in then you start to shout
what in the world can you do?
every now and then i feel a little bit older
every once in a while i feel it slip away
every now and then i get a little bit colder
and i want take this life and lose it
lose it
lose it
lose it

Everywhere I look I see beauty
Everywhere I go I breathe change
Everything I touch I feel truly
Everyone of us has felt the same
Can you taste my tears
Can you feel my glow
Can we still the fear
Can we make love grow
Find the beauty
Find the rapture
Find the love we need
Find the blessing
Find the treasure
Find the heartbeat
Find the beauty
Find the rapture
Find the love we need
Find the blessing
Find the treasure
Find the heartbeat (inside of me)
Everywhere I look I see hatred
Everywhere I go I feel pain
Everytime I touch I feel anger
Everyone of us has felt the same
Can you taste my tears
Can you feel my glow
Can we still the fear
Can we make love grow
Find the beauty
Find the rapture
Find the love we need
Find the blessing
Find the treasure
Find the heartbeat
Find the beauty
Find the rapture
Find the love we need
Find the blessing
Find the treasure
Find the heartbeat (inside of me)
Find the beauty
Can you taste my tears
Find the rapture
Can you feel my glow
Find the blessing
Can we still the fear
Find the treasure
Can we make love grow
Find the beauty
cause love will
Find the rapture
love will
Find the blessing
love will grow
Find the beauty
Find the rapture
Find the love we need
Find the blessing
Find the treasure
Find the heartbeat
Find the beauty
Find the rapture
Find the love we need
Find the blessing
Find the treasure
Find the heartbeat

My Love (Dance Away)
03:40
|

For Your Pleasure's on vinyl tonight
Bryan croons so sultry, so right
Come close my love, all I want is you
The thrill of it spills out of the blue
Love's the drug, it is the same old scene
(Aaaaaaah)
Both ends burning like a beauty queen
(her life's a dream)
My love, summer's here it's time to sway
My love, it's my time to dance away
My love, summer's here it's time to play
My love, let's dance, dance, dance away
Casanova laying on the beach
His life's a prairie rose... out of reach
Love's the drug, it is the same old scene
(Aaaaaaah)
Both ends burning like a beauty queen
(her life's a dream)
My love, summer's here it's time to sway
My love, it's my time to dance away
My love, summer's here it's time to play
My love, dance, dance, dance away
Dance away
Dance away
My love, summer's here it's time to sway
My love, it's my time to dance away
My love, summer's here it's time to play
My love, dance, dance, dance away

Let Me Out
03:02
|
|||
Paralyzed by seduction
Dazzled by the power thrill
Trapped in their corruption
Running lives with strings that pull
Submission to the power
Giving in and losing out
Press until you cower
A wizard's ploy to make you doubt
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You can't escape this lie
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
Of this conversation
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
And set me free!
Clowns in fancy threads
Rule the world & run your life
Driven by their ego
Leave unfulfilled what they subscribe
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You can't escape this lie
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
Of this conversation
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
And set me free!
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
Of this conversation
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
And set me free!
Evil is as evil does
As below then as above
Truth will out and saints be saved
That's what they say
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
Of this conversation
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
And set me free!
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
Of this conversation
Let me out, Let me out
Let me out
And set me free!

Eye on You
03:07

Ah ah Ooooooh
Ah ah Oooooh
Ah Ah ooooh oooooh ooooh
That little Spidey sense inside my mind
It flipped a switch, and maybe, just ... in ... time
Was it the way you spoke? your storyline?
Or how you laid in prey with smile ... divine?
There's something ringing all alarms
I think I'll ... have tooooo
Keep my eye on you
Not one thing that you can do
My laser's trim, my aim is true
This eye right here
I've got it set on you
Ah ah Ooooooh
Ah ah Oooooh
Ah Ah oooooh, oooooh, ooooh
There are stories of a slippery eel
who tags your scent and starts to peel
all self-belief away ... ayyyyy
He stimulates your pomp and brass
heightens all your wantonness
strips your confidence
'til you fade away
There's something ringing all alarms
I think I'll ... have to
Keep my eye on you
Not one thing that you can do
My laser's trim, my aim is true
This eye right here
I've got it set on
Keep my eye on you
Not one thing that you can do
My laser's trim, my aim is true
This eye right here
I've got it set on you
I'll keep my eye on you
I'll keep my eye on you
I'll keep my eye on you!
I'll keep my eye on you
Not one thing that you can do
My laser's trim, my aim is true
This eye right here
I've got it set on
I'll keep my eye on you
Not one thing that you can do
My laser's trim, my aim is true
This eye right here
I've got it set on you!
