Lullaby
02:43
|
|||
|
I can see... but I prefer to be blind
I can believe... but I prefer to disagree
I am naive... as the birds in the sky
No more tears... your my lullaby
Turn your cheek when in denial
Choose your weight don't lose the trial
When you feel your victimized
Keep those feelings deep inside
I can speak... but I prefer to shut up
I can breath... but I prefer to stay shut
And I believed... for a moment in time
No more tears, your my lullaby
When you feel your in distress
you can lay your heart to rest
when your sure your heart will die
keep those feelings deep inside
easy go now easy come
that makes you my number one.

Classic February Man
04:40
|
|||
|
Get those thoughts out of your head.
Their filled with misery and dread.
Till you can't get up out of bed.
With your sheets over your head.
When the temperatures too high
He's just an ant waiting to die.
Now watch him melt before your eyes
He's a February guy
it's useless to help him
he's gonna need some time.
he's gotta figure this out
it's useless help him
He needs to drown them out
Your visions seem to remain stuck,
On that time when you were drunk
Decisions have been turned to sand.
For classic February man.
it's useless to help him
he's gonna need some time.
he's gotta figure this out
it's useless help him
He needs to drown them out
To start another day...
Honesty requires pain.
Just as our love requires hate.
Now watch him throw it all away.
To begin another day.
He walks the path that no one goes
He prefers to be alone
The darkness turned into his home
The silence has become his throat
Run and chase him if you can
You'll end up right where you began
He's someone we can't understand.
A classic February man...

I went to your job the other day.
They mentioned something about you, but I shouldn't say.
Well was it the fact that I always acted like an old man?
And that I'd always try to do things... I knew I couldn't.
I went to your church the other day.
They mentioned something about you, I should say.
Isn't it funny how they always act like they care?
But they never come approach you... When your there.
I went to your school the other day.
They mentioned nothing about you, I'm sorry to say..
That's okay. One thing that I always noticed from them, is that..
They never pretended like they.. Gave a damn.

Deliver
02:34
|
|||
|
Give me something more and ill give you something less
That's what I do the best
I'm always there to deliver
Empty boxes of air for you my dear true friend
Don't you dare try to pretend
I wasn't there to deliver.
Getting nothing from me is something you can't stop
Like getting water from a rock
These simple facts to consider
Everything that I've been has been reduced to shit
It was so violent
But at least I was there to deliver.
Now give me something more and ill give you something less.
That's what I do the best.
I'm always there to deliver.
It shouldn't be that hard to be an architect.
Just use your intellect.
And I shall be there to deliver.

Mal Del Ojo

Here comes, Mal Del Ojo
Evil eye that takes all happiness away
Here's Mal Del Ojo now
The city is in bliss but they wont be smiling soon
Del Ojo comes early in the afternoon
He sees all that's good
He sees all that's pure
He puts them away until the city is in flames
Get your guns out, get your guns out!
Everybody get your guns out!
He won't go near us!
If we see him coming
Lets pray that he will go away...
Here comes mal del Ojo
Evil eye that brings all tragedy at bay oh Mal Del Ojo go away!
He laughs with a lit cigarette in his hand
exhales thick black smoke all through out the land
No se detendra
No se detendra
He will never stop untill our happiness is gone
Takes a bow
He takes a bow
He leaves to go to another town
He wipes his slate
He wipes it clean
He's leaving the city now he's gone... until another day
Here comes Mal Del Ojo
Evil eye who takes our pleasures away
Oh Mal Del Ojo leave us alone...

My story is not that old, and it's a story I'm sure you heard before
It's about a boy who is lost with no direction of where to go..
Kill me..
My hearts is still beating
But I'm not convinced that I'm alive
And even if I was, give me one good reason of why I should keep on living
Cus I sure can't think of one...
Kill me...
And I want to off myself so bad
So fucking bad..
I'm worst at what I do best
And for this gift... I definitely don't feel blessed
And I'm quoting nirvana lyrics cus I simply don't have anything else to say..
Kill me..

Take Out!
03:16
|

|
Excuse me miss can I sip your wine?
No? Okay well then sorry to waste your time..
You looked so good dressed in drag
Making up for the little things you lack..
Take out!
You picked me like a booger inside your nose
You flicked me off your finger now the hatred inside me grows
Now you can't come crawling back when your sad
Remember me as the lover you could of had
Take out!
Crying at this moment seems sufficient
But laughters the best medicine and honey you need a prescription!
Take out!

La Peur de la Tristesse
02:47
|
|||
|
Ill gladly trade in all my tears
Just to be happy for a year
The things you try so hard to forget
la peur de la tristesse
when the thing that you kept so close..
Becomes the thing you fear the most
You drag your bed anywhere you go
With your blanket wrapped around your throat
If you can learn from feeling pain
What happens when you can't feel again
With every corner lies a wall
Till there's no where to turn at all
The one thing you thought you could do
You hoped that they would see it too
And when you saw that it was untrue
Your left with nothing else to do
Ill separate what made me great
And keep it locked inside a safe
Till there's nothing left to put away
la peur de la tristesse

You Hurt Me
02:17
|

|
You hurt me
you fucking hurt me
you hurt me
so so bad
I've always been
a friend to you
you hurt me
Now I'm gonna hurt you back
So thirsty
for revenge
on my so called friend
I can't ignore this rage inside
You hurt me
And now i'm gonna hurt you back
I'm gonna hurt you back
I'm gonna hurt you bad!

Sometimes I think the signs are all painted wrong.
They keep pointing to you as the enemy
Even though I know You haven't done anything wrong
But that doesn't explain this turbulent rage inside of me
I keep having doubts inside myself!
So now I'm right beside myself cus I know my angers always confused
When I find a problem inside
I run to find a place to hide but I always end up running back to you...
And I just wanna say that im sorry.. I am.
You use the heat of my anger to cook me a lovely meal
Using love and forgiveness as your recipe
Turning my trash into a work of art
And then you give it to me only for me to throw it away again
I tell myself a 1000 times, and then I say it a 1000 more but I know that's not the brightest thing to do
Now I'm trying to get you back for something that you didn't do but there's someone in me telling me that's untrue...
So I just want to say that I'm sorry..
This is why I'm a waste of air...
I keep trying to make things right
But then I fuck it up again
Now I hate myself for being such a fool
I try to find a valid excuse
Now I'm looking for something new
But i know that there's no good excuse to use
And when I think I'm by myself
And no ones around me to help...
That's when I come back running into you...
And I'm sorry, I am, please forgive me, I'm just a waste of air, I'm sorry...

I Think You're Fucked Up
03:37
|

|
You should know better
Your blowing out their embers
You might as well be Hannibal Lector
Cus I think your fucked up
And You think your better
But all you do is dismember
And I bet you think that your clever
But I think your fucked up
And I won't forget that thing you said to me
When I told you this was attracted to me
You said that girl must have been blind!
well fuck you then go live your life!
Cus I honestly don't want to live it with you anymore..
I Thought you'd know better
Your blowing out all of my embers
That's why I'm moving from sector to sector
Cus i think you're fucked up.
And my answers
Weren't what you were after
Death by misadventure
That's what you get for being fucked up
And often think of the messed up things you'd say
Were you born an asshole or were you just brought up that way?
I can't wait for the day when your dead to me!
ill throw your ashes into the sea..
And then Ill forget you completely...
And I often think of how miserable must be your life
to get mad at people just cus their doing things right
you talk all this shit behind their backs
afraid of how they might react?
And honestly, I want you to stay the hell away from me...
Cus I think you're fucked up.

Alone
03:03

Alone, here we are again.
I knew this day would come my friend.
Alone, like an old man,
That's bout to die on his death bed.
Alone will I tread this very road.
With no desire to come home.
Alone will I face this road ahead.
I just prefer to fight it... Alone.
You look so good to me,
Dressed in your apologies.
Relax, do not weep for me,
Ill only be gone for a little while.
Alone will I walk these streets I paint.
Nothing will ever be the same.
Alone will I fill my heart with ink.
but then there's so much to draw... When I'm alone.

In My Sleeve
02:59
|

|
The words, the sounds, the melodies
Transcend the love and the joy I breath
Drifting apart and lost in time
Hearing the chords, the voice, the rhymes
So glad that you are here with me.
Your always with me, in my sleeve
No way will you ever part from me
Cus ill always have you, in my sleeve
I close my eyes and I see more
Vibrant colors a world to explore
The world is cold and damp and cruel
The predators lurk this very room
I know that i am safe from harm
When you are with me, in my sleeve
No way will I ever fall asleep
Long as you are with me, in my sleeve
Now life has put me through the test
Yet your still with me, in my sleeve
And when they lay my soul to rest
Ill be glad you were with me, in my sleeve
My heart, my mind, my body combined
Thanks for being with me, in my sleeve
Your sound, your presence brought me back to life
Now I have you with me, in my sleeve...
