Only One

i'm damaged goods, damn good when i'm damaged
you couldn't understand it if you tried to
why try to explain, when mystery is all it that takes to divide you
poets lie through their teeth, yet all you see
is a smile, small delusions and music,
two keys to survival
i feed on being misunderstood, patiently await your arrival
the fate of us all, you're mine for the taken, i just hope i survive you
and it goes, are you ready for war...and it goes
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
death, dishonor, misfits, dollars,
miscreants, daughter, misses her father,
daddy doesn't, miss madonna
if this dilemma ends tomorrow
i'll instigate an intifida, since an infant ought not
enter combat, infantry is instant slaughter
in the arms of ancient martyrs, infidels, forgive the violence
give the arms up to his the honor, seeking, driven
speaking, victims, we've committed, freedom, eager
women, children, birth to soldiers, words of pardons
please forgive my deity, i need need need
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
the fear inside, experience
where the fighters hear the lions,
hear them cry, the pain of gains
the loss of conquer, its off and on
and so often honor is sacrificed
to a cause of comfort,
the cost comes with a lot of authors
with all their offers to tell your story
from their office and for their parlors
their salons where they charm the cobras
mother, fathers, we're all disordered
the bomb plot has disarmed us,
guardians of royal sovereigns
forewarned us the hordes upon us
so tomorrow befall our charter
the call to arms from God the Father
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
if i could be the only one, that you ever knew
if i could be the only one to hurt you
if i could be the only one
if i could be, then i would be
then i would be
the only thing wrong…if i could be the only one

Minutemen
04:15

and the minutemen obeyed
blood flowed into yellow bags
from cartridges and empty mags
automatics and army flags
and people just ig-nored nored nored nored
classes taught only math
mother and father taught us wrath
the garden fought a rocky path
followed it to a door door door door door
the phantoms flew in foggy breath
we drew it in, it tasted fresh
small traces of aftermath
my only fear is more more more more
its all in five its all in six
addendum to the crucifix
a sense of movement sensitive
recruited fight for war war war war war
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
oh
just give me a minute, man
just give me a minute
i'll only need a secondhand
help me for your penance
just give me a minute, man
just give me a minute
i'll only need a secondhand
help me for your penance
oh
its all in five its all in six
addendum to the crucifix
a sense of movement sensitive
recruited fight for war war war war
there were people in the stacks
they were falling through the cracks
they were sold in jumbo packs
they all work for the lord lord lord lord lord
as the light shone overhead
she took control of all the dead
she took their numbers took their lead
marked their arms with four four four four
and the broken windows shot
the light refracted down the block
the people ran to shadows, stop
soldiers throw them to floor floor floor floor floor
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
oh
just give me a minute, man

i'll only need a secondhand
help me for your penance
just give me a minute, man
just give me a minute
i'll only need a secondhand
help me for your penance
oh
there are people im dem keller there is wine in the roof
es gibt leute im dem keller es der wein im dach
there's a person im dem keller has some cheese, has some roots
there's a body im dem keller has no teeth, has no boots
there's a fear inside that consumes me
theres a fear it me reproduce
im dem keller i must go
where you only see what you knew
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight
and the minutemen obeyed
as they ran into the fight

Eurydice
03:56
|

and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down
you won't get rid of me, so easily Eurydice
with all your amphetamine, mortal flaw deficiencies
you won't get ahead of me, too far, a few stars, you better be
leaving breadcrumbs, locks of hair, expensive perfume marks the air
impending doom and bedlam, i'm head strong travel headlong
won't head home - till i get you get back in front of me
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down
you won't get rid of me, so easily Eurydice
with all the remedies, antidotes for atrophy
i'll trace ya steps and i'll chase ya death, i'm weighted on, baited breath
just leave me breadcrumbs, locks of hair, expensive perfume to mark the air
excuse me River Styx, excuse cerebus
a sympathetic symphony for Lady Persephone
i play a tune to a woman's ear, Hades removed, he doesn't care
he loves his queen or at least, doesn't want to argue everything
one caveat, before we leave, my sweet Eurydice
i can't look at you to know, that you're near me or you'll go
finally trapped to the grave, betrothed to the shades
so i must brave my gaze - on the ground in front of me
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down to the grave
and i broke my leg the other day
trying to follow you down
and so i lead us on, this rocky path, blind faith is strong
i hear you stumble, i don't reach to help, i need to just keep to my self
i hear you cry and i hear you breathe, then it all starts to recede
pass the hounds and foul rivers to meadow fields and warm dinners
i see a light, don't hear you though, the gods play tricks on people so
i turn around - and you fade in front of me

Cheap Dragon
02:59
|

i feel it coming and its running through my system, right
i feel it coming and its running through my system, right
don't know what i'm gonna do
when it hits home, i'm tellin you
i feel it coming and its running through the city, right
i feel it coming and its running through the city, right
don't know where its going to
if it hits home, i'm tellin you
free from oppression, and free from the middle men
free from upper management, free from smaller dividends
free lunch, free healthcare, its free medicine
free vaccinations for all the veterans
out of order so our order we got out of line
out of pocket out of nickels and we out of dimes
outer space maybe we just out our minds
out of luck out of options and we out of time
i wanna be free
i wanna be free
i wanna be cheap
at least i'll be cheap
there was a dragon in the core
there was a system to the locks
there was a burden that we bore
for the golden pretty watch
was a demon in the wait
was a thief up in the safe
creep underneath the staircase
that held a mirror with no face
was a man out in the hall
he was searching through the trash
there was a reason to it all
it comes in card it comes in cash
i wanna be free
i wanna be free
i wanna be cheap
at least i'll be cheap
i feel it coming got my number got my gun n' sights
i feel it coming got my number got my gun n' sights
don't know who i'm gonna shoot
but they'll drop down i'm tellin you
i feel it coming in the thunder in the pretty skies
i feel it coming in the thunder in the pretty skies
don't know if its rings true
for me as much as for you
crush my head, crush my spine, and crush my soul
lustful fury, lustful mind, got a lust for gold
neediness, need a break like i need a sign
money makers, money changers, money's on my mind
satisfaction, saturdays, and saturn's rings
matter of fact, matter of opinion, doesn't matter to me
ease of access, easy ways, did it all with ease
snake oil salesmen saved our souls serendipitiously
i wanna be free
i wanna be free
i wanna be cheap
at least i'll be cheap
there was a dragon in the core
there was a system to the locks
there was a burden that we bore
for the golden pretty watch
was a demon in the wait
was a thief up in the safe
creep underneath the staircase
that held a mirror with no face
was a man out in the hall
he was searching through the trash
there was a reason to it all
it comes in card it comes in cash
i wanna be free
i wanna be free
i wanna be cheap
at least i'll be cheap

Uncomfortable Groove
03:17

so i met her, and i bet i bed her better then her ex sir
so she met me, and bet we end up sweaty, well just let me
successfully, effortlessly, connect and create friction
we hate fiction, she hates dating, opportunistic, i hate waiting
so we moved in a room full of ummm, doom for the culture
maybe its too soon for adultery but for surely i'm altered, halter
tops won't stop gyrating, my minds aching, i find breaking
glass and slamming doors quite frightening, though i'm lighting fast
reflexes my ex is walking in through the exit,
i'm not a sexist, but i hate that BITCH
Clear Music/Muddy lyrics
i'm so uncomfortable, so awkward, and so functionable
so dystopic, out of balance, off my rocker, one of those
i'm so assurable, manipulated, incurable,
so perfectly content being that jerk that irks you so
i'm so uncomfortable, so awkward, and so functionable
so dystopic, out of balance, off my rocker, one of those
i'm so assurable, manipulated, incurable,
so perfectly content being that jerk that irks you so
Muddy Music/Clear lyrics
hopped in a cab, locked in the doors, and across my lap was an awful plan
often i am, affected by liquor, affected by weed, so expect that i'm bitter
i'm a closet, a freak novice, an awful person penchant for
perversion dirtier than a sturgeon, a warm bowl of brief excursions
we feed an insurgency of purple feet and hurt uncertain-ties
she searches her purse i search for words to seize her and search her
to caesar's pizzeria, feed her serve her till we get drunk
we drink drink drink drink drink drink drink glub ga-glub glub glub ga-glub glub
we drink drink drink drink drink drink drink glub ga-glub glub glub ga-glub glub
Clear Music/Muddy lyrics
i'm so uncomfortable, so awkward, and so functionable
so dystopic, out of balance, off my rocker, one of those
i'm so assurable, manipulated, incurable,
so perfectly content being that jerk that irks you so
i'm so uncomfortable, so awkward, and so functionable
so dystopic, out of balance, off my rocker, one of those
i'm so assurable, manipulated, incurable,
so perfectly content being that jerk that irks you so
we decided we had enough hanging around
so we go to paint it red downtown
and this bar we found i got a few more rounds
and then i noticed there was this clown
trying to pounce on my mound
i'm like, i got that four pound
so a couple more shots, and i was fallen above the ground
and i took my girl home, to our little brown stone
trying to bone but i was soft underground
and my moan broken, the only sound...

RA
and she lives in a wooden box
and you can tell that she is mine
she dances, just look through the slots
allow me to open the blinds
RB
when i get my hands upon that man
when i get my hands upon his head
i promise on everything i am
that i will kill him dead, dead, dead
RA
and i carve up a lonely spot
in the corner of my mind
where the old types of me rot
i line my brain with bleach and lime
RB
he treats me like an open sore
he prods at me and pokes my head
these evil things that i have bore
i will get vengeance when he's dead, dead, dead
NI
bear me, corrupt me,
make me tougher
share me, your trophy
make me suffer
fear me, choke me,
call me Lover
we'll be lucky
together forever
RA
she's made of glass, she's insecure
let go of me, there's no future
she's so convinced, she's self-assured
i'm frightened that she's still in love
RB
and i don't need you, of this i'm sure
you cut my skin, you choked my chords
you took my faith, you took much more
get out of my head, head, head
RA
i'm fragile though i am a man
she is much stronger than i am
she only pretends that she's hurt
trying to trap me but it won't work
RB
i've got others, wait and see
i'll find someone who really loves me
but you won't hurt anyone again
once i have revenge - venge venge
NI
bear me, corrupt me,
make me tougher
share me, your trophy
make me suffer
fear me, choke me,
call me Lover
we'll be lucky
together forever
RA
she approaches from the wind
she move in through the darkness still
i feel her hand against my skin
i feel her come in for the kill
RB
and now my love, you're only mine
promise me i'm all that's left
i just wanna feel your skin
and i just wanna hear your breath, breath, breath
RA
now i live in a wooden box
she bashed my head, she broke my spine
parts of me, they all were chopped
and spread throughout the metro side
RB
no one will ever feel again
as low as you made me become
i finally have my revenge
the deed is done, you are dead, dead, dead

Spider Army

dedi-cated my life
rededicated my, existence to fitness
trying to exercise - my memories
when my effort to be better sighs
let them never say i never strived
eyes closed, wind blows, windows shake petrified
like muscles struggle crumble from the reps, the size
rocks being thrown, my home mocks whats left inside
raindrops, the garden steams up insecticide,
i feel like, i might be on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
ladybugs, fire ants, no spider webs survive
this insectoid genocide the back drop
evergreen tomatoes, its seems they'll never ripe
red as the cannons that light up the harvest skies
and we're all on borrowed time, i barter mine
i trade, i argue, so often, its just the cost of pride
later the children sleep deep with heavy eyes
run in circles chase each other, i feel the pressure rise
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
it cuts in me, i push i breathe
i must not leave, sanctuary
it cuts in me, i push i breathe
i must not leave, sanctuary
i want to be comfortably
destructive, motive, so drug-free
i want to be, comfortably
destructive, motive, so drug-free
the weight is thick, the music dark, my mood is melancholy
the church bells are calling, wedding or another fallen
another dream another segment one more leg
another bite another scratch and one more egg
i try to kill the feelin, no one's as real as me
as unreal as i've been, thin webs of self-deceit
i'm not a good person, i'm not a pure being
i'm just another arachnid pulling your strings
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
left from her childhood, so many things rot
lost to anthills, family portraits and family plots
the dark attic, the basement centipede sentries fought
a battle for decorations, small nations swallow up
i never weep over sacrifice nor memories
it's like mosquitoes take chase to catch the scent of me,
i sweat, i bleed, my chest burns like extermination
the smoke'll rise cockroaches thrive through the annihilation
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
it cuts in me, i push i breathe
i must not leave, sanctuary
it cuts in me, i push i breathe
i must not leave, sanctuary
i want to be comfortably
destructive, motive, so drug-free
i want to be, comfortably
destructive, motive, so drug-free
matchboxes turn to caskets, and shoe boxes mold
checks fade, dust falls 'cross giant centerfolds
another rep another set feel my depression lull
the air's cold to scorpions use to desert snow
wasps, bees, dragonflies, and all the fireflies
bursts of energy light the skies, as we romanticize
a spider army marches on, we all fall in line
left left left left, right right right right
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel my legs give, i push the weight in
i lose my place in, the everyday its
too much take its, you can't relate its
one of the greatest, of the forsaken
of the forbidden, since our creation
one of the masses, under the nations
one of the ways home, from our betrayed hope
and one just wonderin, where my days go
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like, i might be the on-ly one
and if i am, then i'm gon be a lonely one
i feel like…

Hard Rain
04:18

i feel drained emotionally and hope-
fully we will make it till the moment that we
are older than we were, of course
you know i
need first a moment to be first, bold as
a virgin, open and she's pure, caught
in the moment, i pre-pre-prefer
of course you know me, what horrors afford me
and no one is so pure, when you look closely
i feel like i owe me, least thats what i told me
when i would twist her,
first i would kiss her, just to convince her
loud as a whisper, slipped in no injury
so tender she wasn't innocent,
i have a record
maybe i'll lose her, just on purpose
so i act harsher, and she falls deeper
i'm sure i'll lose her, if i act sweeter
then i run the risk, that i might need her
still i know her better, than she the difference
and i really want is to keep my distance
won't ball my fist up, maybe it's just cause
i'm more sadistic
you're better than me, but with you i could be, so much better
you never would leave, cause you're in love with me, however
i've been here before, i've seen it all before, i know much better
yeah you're in love with me, but you're going to leave, whenever
i know we'll part ways, not hard to take it
cause as time passes, i've got so jaded
i'm hardly phased, after all our wasted
conversations
my cars parked waiting, apartment basement
a thought of chasin, but i'm too vain and
you're too gorgeous when your in pain and
of course it's dangerous
of course i've ordered more disorders
of course i'm caught an i'm awful awkward
i'm often lost in my thoughts and honest
i'm narcissistic
more often than not i'm caught in a bottle
an artist ought not far from bottom
and i'm so honored to be so your target
for your prophecy receive your martyr
before we get involved and need each other
look not to me to be your father
i will not raise you i will not save you
i'll leave you broken
heed my warnings, only in song when
i speak honestly, and open, and only
when in person, do my verses
suffer distortion
you're better than me, but with you i could be, so much better
you never would leave, cause you're in love with me, however
i've been here before, i've seen it all before, i know much better
yeah you're in love with me, but you're going to leave, whenever
i'm not one for dramatics, just one for the action
passions that burns the planet that we make love on
i'm not one to be cruel, just one of the usual
fools that cling to beautiful women that want strong
men that are willing, men that are killers
tequila and bits of glass to reveal our true desires
to fight to fuck tonight let's just refine our lust
and find for once a real sensation

Lullaby
05:27
|

as of late i've had problems, maybe its fate
maybe my conscience, or well maybe the bottles
maybe tomorrow i'll escape my way of living
i can't blame a system, i make my own decisions
save for the ones that are made for me unknowingly
and hopefully those would be with my best interests in mind
if its divine intervention or some coincidence, fine
but you've slipped in my life, slipped in my bedroom
so listen cause i have to tell you, since the very first time
i feel pure, i feel hurt, i feel insecure
i feel overwhelmed at the thought of your
at least i want to and i try to and i hope i will
someday, just right now i just wanna feel
i wanna feel pain, pleasure, hope, and fear
i just wanna feel something to let me know i'm real
its just another pill, its just another pill
its just another moment to give up, until
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
its like i've been here before, so defensive
i won't let her get near me, no, it won't work
she won't hurt me like the one in my past, so i'll have
fun with her then be done with her, don't won't none of my past
creeping up on me, even though she's different
its the same old tricks again
i feel the same whenever i press my lips against, i taste dissonance
she might love me now, but she won't miss me when
she's with him, they always go with him, i know it and
i just hope it ends, before i get too close, the walls are closing in
openin another bottle, its my only friend
i feel pure, i feel hurt, i feel insecure
i feel overwhelmed at the thought of your
at least i want to and i try to and i hope i will
someday, just right now i just wanna feel
i wanna feel pain, pleasure, hope, and fear
i just wanna feel something to let me know i'm real
its just another pill, its just another pill
its just another moment to give up, until
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
i feel a rush, i feel it take over, the waits over
from feelin over weight to bearin weight on my shoulders
the water pills, hydroxycuts, the diuretics
muscle rehabilitators rebuild me unpathetic
upset stomach, vikodin, a crush on the crushed
a penchant for self-destruction, oxycotin lust
its sexual in nature anti-intellectual com-plex and so creative
i need a prescription, i need an illness
i feed off guilt trips i really need to milk this one
really need to draw this out, just
really need to draw blood
when times were easy and we were hard
so much smarter when we were gods among men
well God knows before long
we'll call on our demons just to feel at home
i feel pure, i feel hurt, i feel insecure
i feel overwhelmed at the thought of your
at least i want to and i try to and i hope i will
someday, just right now i just wanna feel
i wanna feel pain, pleasure, hope, and fear
i just wanna feel something to let me know i'm real
its just another pill, its just another pill
its just another moment to give up, until
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop
drop drop drop drop…drop.

Comfortable
04:11
|

i just roll out of bed, killed the boy, now he's dead
and i feel, real, real comfortable x2
the lily pads reflect and spin in sun lit
creeks deep enough to play with the mud if
the turtles were faster, i wouldn't capture them
the reeds break, spiders leap, fish chase after them
the cats and dogs, rats and frogs, and the gnats and snakes
the visions i've had when swimming in the lake
and through the rivers we make it to the ocean
where waves crash, todays catch, sea shells glowin
where is my father n' where is my mother n'
there goes my sister, there goes my brother
i'm alright with this, a sun-kissed babe
i'm fresh as the sand castle, my friends i just made
the tides rolling in, the sun's losing rays
rematch tomorrow, against the foamy waves
i love the beach, i love the water, and i love the sand
i love the crabs the fruit drinks at the little stand
i love my family i love my home i love my holidays
i love everything about this age
i just roll out of bed, killed the boy, now he's dead
and i feel, real, real comfortable x2
my first rock song, my first rap song
my first french kiss, the first tit i grabbed on
the first hit burns, the first shot to my chest
she was my very first, although not my very best
from junior high drinking in the bathroom
to smoking weed every weekend during high school
i never cared for grades, though i did well on tests
still unsuccessful, maybe i'm overstressed
tryin to compare to my sister, a four point oh
i quit basketball, baseball, every sport i know
of course i know i'll change by when college starts
i tried college but i prefer the finer arts
i didn't pass, grabbed my bags, moved to the east coast
got into fashion, still love rap and the weed smoke
i break dance, break hearts, and break down grams
rap my ass off, work part time, have a lot of friends
i hate my family, hate my job, and i hate my home
some of the few truths that i know
i just roll out of bed, killed the boy, now he's dead
and i feel, real, real comfortable x2
another ticket and then another arrest
i'm too intoxicated vomit's all across chest
i promised i'd be famous by twenty
i'm still a no one but no one can tell me anything
i took school lightly, took drugs heavily
still get aroused by pills and the scent of weed
still love cocaine, strippers, and gambling
narcotics got me caught up in a fantasy
been clean since the night of september sixth
save a few missteps, how i love to reminisce
i didn't want to go jail, i'd rather go to war
so instead of a chain gang, i join the corps
helped me turn life around, i'm clear headed
probably the best decision i ever regretted
i gotta give 'em credit, i'm in shape and brave
i left a bad situation and i change my ways
least i promise to my mama, i'ma be my best
until i e-a-s
i just roll out of bed, killed the boy, now he's dead
and i feel, real, real comfortable x3
i just roll out of bed, killed the boy, now he's dead
and i feel, so, so comfortable
