1. O MY HEART

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water.
Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun.
Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter.
Oh my heart, it's a rocking grey boulder and stuck in the gutter.

And i throw my heart back to the ocean,
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And i watch it wash up with the bad fish
But it ain't like that, it just is like this.


Oh my heart, it's a house in tornado.
Oh my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado.
Oh my heart, it's a roof in El Niño.
Oh my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño.

And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard it just is shaking.
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in.
But it don't set hard it gives ( ... )

Buhm buhm buhm buhm...

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water.
Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter.
Oh my heart, it's a black in a rainbow.
Oh my heart, it's so damn cold, so damn cold.

And I throw my heart into the fire
'cause I want to set my heart on fire
and I watch it try befriending embers
but the ice don't melt in mid-December.

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water.
Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun



2. BURNING PILE

All my style, all my grace,
All I try to save my face,
All my guts try to spill,
All my holes try to fill.
All my money been a long time spent,
On my drugs, on my rent.
On my saving philosophy, it goes:
One in the bank and the rest for me.

It goes
All my troubles on a burning pile,
All lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I change my aim,
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates?
My my my lonely maid,
Renaissance man,
Sailed away and he never came back again.

All my troubles on a burning pile,
All lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I change my aim,
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates?
You won't be ...
I said all your troubles,
You don't need a thing.

All my troubles on a burning pile,
All lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I change my aim,
Throw my troubles at the world again!

It goes
All my troubles on a burning pile,
All lit up and I start to smile.
Live up,
Catch fire then I take my turn,
To burn and burn, and burn and burn..



3. BODY OF YEARS

All the remains of our cadaver of days,
I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case.
I wanna visit that place,
Blow the dust from the bones
Off a body of years that I leave all alone.
Just a body of years,
See the skin disappears
And the blood turns to stone
And the body of years now a pile of bones.
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul.
It's a body of years that I leave all alone.
Just a body of years,now a pile of bones.
You knoww..
....falls down..
Can't stop trippin' on these..
... Go down...
Get back up and get my foot in the door,
And my face on the page
Make my mark in the world
With a bag and a blade.
IT's a body of work that you can't ever change
Like a body of years that you take to your grave.

It's just a body of years that I leave all alone.
It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones.
Like a sheet of veneer,
Now a piece of my soul.
...falls down...
Can't stop trippin' on these...
Ohhh...
...go down...

Can't stop tripping on these..
It's just a body of years that I leave all alone,
It's just a pile of years, now a pile of bones.
Like a sheet of veneer,
Each a piece of my soul.
Like a pile of shit I can't seem to forget?
Just a body of years that I leave all alone...

Tell, tell, diary pages...
Their own...



4. TRY TO CHANGE

Try to change...
I try to change...
I make a list of all the ways to change my ways.
But I stay the same,
I stay the same.
I will try and try to change but I just stay the same.
Stay the same,
I stay the same.
In a decadent age I try to change
All my decadent ways but I just can't help but
Stay the same.
In a decadent age.
I will try and try to change but I just stay the same.
The same...
Carry a cane.
I carry a cane.
'Cause I tried to change
And I tried too hard
So I hurt my leg and well, overall
I just stayed the same.
Now I carry a cane.
I will try and try to change
But the list I made of changes to make,
It bleww awaayy..
Blew away...
Try to change,
I try to change,
Try to change,
Everybody be tryin' to change,
Tryin' to change,
I try to change,
I try, it's safe to say, [something..]
Don't change



5. WISDOM

Foldin' my clothes and I feel useless.
Don't think I know how to do this.
Once I was told, but like any misfit,
I spit on some good advice.

Out in the cold and tryin' to make fire.
Two sticks and stone, still got no fire.
Once I was shown, but I was inside then.
And spit on that good advice.

Wisdom, wisdom, where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom

On the payroll and digging up ditches.
Dollar is low, so are my wages.
Once I was told just how to get rich, but
I spit on that good advice.

Wisdom, wisdom, where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom...
Wisdom, wisdom...
where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom...
I wanna trade my dimwits in for tips.
Tips are 'quipped with
wisdom, wisdom...

Take off my clothes and I feel useless.
Don't think I know how to do this.
Once I was told, but I like to fidgit
And miss out on good advice..



6. BODY

Take my eyes, take them aside.
Take my face and desecrate my arms and legs,
They get in the way.
And take my hands, they'll understand.
Take my heart, pull it apart.
And take my brain, or what remains
And throw it all away

'Cause i've grown tired of this body.
A cumbersome and heavy body

Take my lungs, take them and run.
Take my tongue, go have some fun.
And take the ears, take them and disappear.
And take my joints, take them for points.
Take my teeth, tear through my cheeks.
And take the nose, go and dispose,
Oh would you go dispose, just go dispose,

'Cause i've grown tired of this body.
A cumbersome and heavy body.
I've grown tired of this body.
Fall apart without me, body.
Oohhh...
Take my eyes, take them aside.
Take my face, and desecrate.
Arms and legs get in the way.
Body... Something..

I've grown tired of this body.
Cumbersome and heavy body.
I've grown tired of this body.
Fall apart without me, body.
I've grown tired of this body.
Cumbersome and heavy.
Tired of this body.
Fall apart without me.
Tired of this body.

Take my eyes, take them aside.
Take my face and desecrate.
Arms and legs get in the way
Take my lungs, take them and run.
Take my tongue, go have some fun.
Take my heart, pull it apart.

Cumbersome and heavy.
Tired of this body.
Fall apart without me.
Tired of this body.

Cumbersome and heavy body.
Heavy body.



7. GHOSTING

I've been ghosting,
I've been ghosting along.
Ghost in your house,
Ghost in your arms.
When you're tossing, when you turn in your sleep,
It's because I'm ghosting your dreams.
And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head.
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you'll know I'm out of hiding.
I've been ghosting,
I've been ghosting along.
Ghost in the world, ghost with no home.
I remember, I remember the days
When I'd make you oh so afraid.
And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home unhaunted.
You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks.
You don't need treats,
And you don't need tricks.
You don't need treats
You don't need tricks
You don't need no halloween
You don't need treats,
You don't need tricks,
And you don't need me.
Would it be so bad if I stayed?
I'm just a ghost out of his grave..
And I can make love in my grave..
I won't put white into your hair
I won't make noises in your stairs
I will be kind and i'll be sweet
If you stop staring straight through me..
And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head.
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you'll know I'm out of hiding.
And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home unhaunted.
You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks.
You don't need treats,
And you don't need tricks
You don't need treats
You don't need tricks
You don't need no halloween
You don't need treats
You don't need tricks
You don't need no hallow's eve
You don't need treats
You don't need tricks
And you don't need me

My daddy's got a gun,
My daddy's got a gun,
My daddy's got a gun,
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun,
My daddy's got a gun,
My daddy's got a gun,

It started with the hayloft a-creakin',
Well it just started in the hay - LOFT
With his longjohns on, Pop went a-creeping,
Out to the barn, up to the hay.
Young lovers and they are not sleeping,
Young lovers in the hay - LOFT.
With his gun turned on, Pop went a-creeping,
Out to the barn, up to the hay - LOFT.

Out to the barn, up to the hay - LOFT.
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots,
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots,
With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping,
To blow their hay-loft dead heads straight off.

My daddy's got a gun,
you better run.
My daddy's got a gun,
you better run.
My daddy's got a gun,
you better run.
My daddy's got a gun,



9. WRECKING BALL

I made a wreck out of my hand,
I put it through the wall.
I made a fist and not a plan,
Call me a wreckless wrecking ball.
I threw my plates against the wall
And give it all I got.
I aim to break, not one but all,
I'm just a big ol' wrecking ball.
I am unruly in the stands,
I am a rock on top of the sand,
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can.
Dah dah dah dah.. oh oh..
It takes a dedicated hand
To put it through the wall.
You gotta wanna break the hearts
Of all those pretty porcelain dolls.
You gotta wanna be the drummer in the band
You gotta wanna be a battle ring ram
You gotta see the artistry in tearing the place apart with me, baby..
I am unruly in the stands,
I am a rock on top of the sand,
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can.
Lets break it..
Just because we can.
Deface it,
Just because we can.
Lets break it..
Just because.. just because.. just because..
Just becauussee.

I am unruly in the stands,
I am a rock on top of the sand,
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I make a wreck out of my hand.
I make a fist and not a plan
And I break it just because I can,
Because I can.. because I can..
Because I can.. because I can..
Because I can.. because I can..
Because I caaann...


10. ARMS TONITE

I fell in your arms tonight.
I fell hard in your arms tonight,
It was nice.
I died in your arms tonight.
I slipped through into the afterlife,
It was nice.
White lies in your arms tonight.
I lost sight in your arms tonight,
It was nice.
And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute
That I died right inside your arms tonight
That I'm fine even after I have died
Because it was in your arms I died.
I cried in the afterlife
I cry hard because I have died,
And you're alive.
I try to escape afterlife.
I try hard to get back inside
Your arms alive.
And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute
That I try to escape the afterlife
That I try to get back in your arms alive,
That I died in your arms,
That I fell hard in your arms,
I went and died in your arms that night..
I fell in your arms tonight..
Suicide in your arms...
And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute
That I died right inside your arms tonight
That I'm fine even after I have died
That I try to escape the afterlife
That I try to get back in your arms alive,
That I died in your arms that night.
I fell in your arms tonight.
I died in your arms tonight.
I lie in your arms tonight.
I fell in your arms tonight



11. MILES

Miles, and miles, and miles.
Before we reach the sand.
Cacti and cacti for miles..
miles of dry land, dry land.
We gonna make it, we gonna make it.
We gonna take it, we gonna take it easy.
Once we feel the sea breeze.
My-my-my-my-my lover, my maker, my breaker.
Take me by the hand.
We could go walking for miles..
once we reach the sand, the sand.
We gonna make it, ohh we gonna make it.
We gonna take it, ohh we gonna take it easy.
Once we leave the city.
We gonna make it, ohh we gonna make it.
We gonna take it, ohh we gonna take it.
We gonna make it, yeah we gonna make it easy... easy...

We gonna make it, ohh we gonna make it.
We gonna take it, ohh we gonna take it easy



12. SLEEP AWAKE

Protecting you..
Protecting me..
I throw the evidence into a trunk and drop it in the sea.
Lie awake..
I sleep awake..
I sleep with one eye on the bedroom door,
The other on the cake..
Protecting me..eee..
Protecting you.. Oooo..
Carving away our fingerprints out of our fingertips until they're smooth.
Lie awake..
I sleep awake..
I sleep with one eye on my royal flush..
The other on the take..
I sleep awake.
Protecting this..
Protecting that..
Calling a deadbeat with his dead boat
Wrapped around his artifact.
Protecting that.
Lie awake..
I sleep awake..
I sleep with one hand on my 45, the other 'round my baby's waist.
Lie awake..
I sleep awake..
I go to bed with all my lights turned on
So I don't slip away..
I stay awake.
Out on the street I keep a started car
Who only waits for me, conveniently..
Lie awake..
I sleep awake..
Lie awake..
I sleep awake..
