"Zzyzx Rd."

I don't know how else to put this
It's taken me so long to do this
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight
My muscles feel like a melee
My body's curled in a U-shape
I put on my best but I'm still afraid

Propped up by lies and promises
Saving my place as life forgets
Maybe its time I saw the world

I'm only here for a while
But patience is not my style
And I'm so tired that I gotta go

What am I supposed to hide now?
What am I suppose to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through

Tell me I should stick around for you
Tell me I could have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go

I get to go home in one week
But I leaving home in three weeks
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry

I'm following suit and directions
I crawl up inside for protection
I'm told what to do and I don't know why

I'm over existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away

I'm ready to live with my family
I'm ready to die in obscurity
'Cause I'm so tired that I gotta go

Where am I supposed to hide now?
What am I suppose to do?
You still don't think I'm going see this through

Tell me I'm a part of history
Tell me I can have it all
I'm still to tired to care and I gotta go

Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Still too tired to care and I gotta go
Still too tired to care and I gotta go
Still too tired to care and I gotta go

Yeah, yeah

Still to tired to care and I gotta go

Go home

Still to tired to care and I gotta go

Yeah yeah

Still to tired to care and I gotta go

"Suffer"

You won’t admit it, but it’s true – I’m happy without you
I turned away and let your drama pull you in
You always said I was a fool, but something carried through
I never wanna see your face again

So many problems left behind… I’m sorting out my mind
This Idiot has turned into a better man
I found my soul in someone else, who doesn’t feel like hell
Who doesn’t wanna make me kill myself

No! No! I have every right to hate you
No! No! I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, stop believing, then I end up right back in your arms
Now I’m bleeding, fucking seething – I was through with you long time ago

Some people suffer for no reason, but they’re the ones to blame
So walk away, let it go and save yourself
Before you tell yourself a lie, just tell that one goodbye
How much more can you take before you fucking die?

No! No! I have every right to hate you
No! No! I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, stop believing, then I end up right back in your arms
Now I’m bleeding, fucking seething – I was through with you a long time ago

[Solo – Jim]

No! No! I have every right to hate you
No! No! I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, stop believing, then I end up right back in your arms
Now I’m bleeding, fucking seething – I was through with you a long time ago

Suffer…[x4]

"Fruitcake"

Got a pit in so tight – wish I never had a blast that night,
I can hear’em though the walls for me
Try to run but they always find me
All in all, this is all I can take – when I fell it was my first mistake, but
Broken-hearted must've wilted, cause everything’s all tilted

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip when they use up my line
But as soon as I can, I’ll find another reason again

Hang around like a head on a leash – keep it all just a little out of arms reach
I can hear’em through the walls for me
Try to run but they always find me
Now I know why I can’t go in – all the blurs have a different set of keys again, but
Broken-hearted must've wilted cause everything’s all tiled

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip when they use up my line
But as soon as I can, I’ll find another reason again

Oh yeah, keep a little place in the back of my mind
Take a little trip when they use up my line
But as soon as I can, I’ll find another reason again

Oh you don’t wanna hurt me
You Don’t Wanna Hurt Me
YOU DON’T WANNA HURT ME ANYMORE
Bring it on, one more time…

[Solo – Jim]

I’m the one with the skeleton face – I’m the one with the full nine disgrace
I can hear’em through the walls for me
Try to run but they always find me
I never wanted it to end this way – I wish I had a little more to say, but
Broken-hearted must've wilted cause everything’s all tiled…

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip when they use up my line
But as soon as I can, I’ll find another reason again

Oh yeah, keep a little place in the back of my mind
Take a little trip when they use up my line
But as soon as I can, I’ll find another reason again

Oh you don’t wanna hurt me
You Don’t Wanna Hurt Me
YOU DON’T WANNA HURT ME ANYMORE
Bring it on, one more time…
Take it away, oh take it away…again…

"The Day I Let Go"

What a waste of life this is, every altercation I permit is
Like a quiet sigh
From a man resigned to a place that was never his
And the hours are long, even in a world where I belong
Every second stays, every minute counts against my sentence

I Fall…I had to let you go…

What I tried to accomplish died – every offer of faith I had
To fight and a dream unfolds
The moon is cold because the sun left early
And the days go by, even when my conscience just won’t try
Every week decays, every month is rotten -
I AM FORGOTTEN

I fall… I had to let you go
I fall…my mind is all I know
I fall… the table turns to dust
I fall… today, I let go of my trust

What a waste of time I am, every ounce of life is
Just dead flesh
I can’t forget, but then again you can’t let me remember
When I try to speak, every word I say comes out so bleak
I don’t want this, I don’t want you
But I DON’T WANT ANYONE
I don’t want anyone…

I fall… I had to let you go
I fall…my mind is all I know
I fall… the table turns to dust
I fall… today, I let go of my trust
I let go of my trust

"Freeze Dry Seal"

My face is horrid and I’m constantly slouching
My place is lower so I’m constantly crouching
I don’t believe it – I saw the man again
And he won’t hear a word I say

I have delusions so I’m constantly shouting
I have compulsions so I’m constantly counting
I don’t believe it – there goes my world again
And I don’t understand a word I say

Just because I’m paranoid it doesn’t mean I’m annoyed and
Just because I’m not prepared doesn’t mean I’m not aware

The smoke is infinite - I’m constantly panting
The truth is imminent – I’m constantly ranting
I don’t believe it – I took a chance again and
People I don’t know won’t let it go

I’ve got some problems – I’m constantly bitching
I’ve got some rashes I’m constantly itching
I don’t believe it – forgot the pills again
I just woke up a million miles from home

Just because I seem sedate it doesn’t mean I’m not irate and
Just because I’m not immune it doesn’t mean I’m scared of you

Just because I’m incomplete it doesn’t mean I’m obsolete and
Just because I’m out of view it doesn’t mean I’m not like you

"The Frozen"

The girls on the streets look all sad in this gold encrusted little town
Why is that? Isn’t this the town of dreams?
Yeah, but it comes with a price

It’s a town that never does anything and takes all the credit
A place that promises so much and never has a thing to say
Or a care in the world
There is no memory here
No dream for itself but the dreams of others

And all over the world you talk about a place you’ve only seen in the re-runs
Immortalized by its vice and deified for its carnage

There’s money in the air there
All you have to do is reach up and grab it.

In basements, garages, parking lots, empty lots, school yards, town cars,
Back rooms and more…
Diamonds are fashioned from expectations and fortified on a steady diet,
Of simple lives and red carpets

The ejaculating zeitgeist in night vision
Culture is a punch line in a motionless blood in the water
The sharks here play games you can’t fathom
But you flock here anyway

On college money and credit cards
Spend a week bullshitting yourself that it was all true,

All of it…
Just to watch in horror as it all falls into pieces into the gravity of reality
The starry eyes fade as it dawns on you,
Nothing is guaranteed

You are a part of the great divide, the chosen, or the frozen
Now your miles away without an egg,
Your college money is a collage of debt
And your credit cards are all snapped in fucking half.

Time to wander a landscape in berethed of mercy
This is now the back lot of your failed movie
A waking dream re-written without your permission
The real luster, the soft focus, the soap opera vision
Is just the hindsight of a world who’s just been lied to
Of sad surfs, and untouchable lords

You took a chance didn’t you?
The chance didn’t have a par for you this time around
Maybe next life.

And you can’t even walk home

The girls on the street all look sad in this cardboard cut-out little town
No wonder, that’s the only thing here that’s real
The gold is for fools and paradise is lost
But the hungry have never bothered with the cost

Day by day they fall away like rose petals
Like ink that won’t dry or fade
It just runs wild down cracks and crevices, grooves and folds
So I hope someone saves you, before you get cold
I really do.

Because the girls are on set in this little black book
If you don’t believe me take a closer look.
If you can..?

"Mission Statement"

Just this once, I will go to the front.
I will let you all disagree!
You won’t last, all you’ve got is the past.
An overnight shotgun that fucked up the dream
No excuses and no surprise.
The real McCoy is a look in your eyes!
I don’t rate, they can alienate this American selfish everything!

We’re the breakdown, I will break ground, on original sin!
Suddenly I’m on the right side, in the middle of nowhere again!
I am in your hands – I don’t mind – ’cause I don’t understand
I am in your hands – I want you all to tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I...

Just in case, it’s an arrogant fate.
’cause I know you all wanna see!
Here’s a test and you’re a dire bet.
No one feels like you and screams like me! (yeah)
All confusion and all control.
The real McCoy isn’t real anymore!
I’m amazed at the innocent taste of America’s selfish everything!

We’re the breakdown, I will break ground, on original sin!
Suddenly I’m on the wrong side, in the middle of nowhere again!
I am in your hands – I don’t mind – ’cause I don’t understand
I am in your hands – I want you all to tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am!!

Somebody Tell ME!!

I am in your hands – I don’t mind – I don’t understand
I am in your hands – I don’t mind – I don’t mind!!
Oh, I am in your hands and I don’t mind ’cause I don’t understand
I am in your hands – I want you all to tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I am! (tell me who I am)
Just tell me who I am!
Just tell me who I.. am! (tell me who I am)

Tell me who I am!!

"Digital (Did You Tell)"

Oh save us all again from a cynic's Armageddon
When your mind didn't want to break, your rusty mouth consented
I think you're all afraid - too afraid to admit pollution
Now there's no easy way to avoid such a hard solution

Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?

Here we go again with a brilliant overreaction
My advice isn't gonna change - dysfunction over fashion
I think you're all ashamed - too ashamed to admit your faults
No daylight in the bunker - just darkness in the vaults

Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
There's only one way out of this
But do we have the nerve to try?
Cuz there is no way out of this
If all our answers say goodbye

Goodbye - there's only one way out of this
But do we have the nerve to try?
Cuz there is no way out of this
If all our answers say goodbye

Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say... goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?
Digital - did you tell the world today that we would say goodbye?

"Say You'll Haunt Me"

Little supernovas in my head
Little soft pulses in my dead
Little souvenirs and secrets shared
Little of guard and unprepared

I was never good enough to find
I was never bad enough to mind
In the middle I will do my best
Take me in your arms and leave the rest

I will give you anything to

Say you want to stay, you want me to
Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me
I want to know I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me

Together, together we'll be together, together forever

Little variations on my page
Little doors open on my cage
Little time has come and gone so far
Little by little who you are

I can see the patterns on your face
I can see the miracles I trace
Symmetry in shadows I can't hide
I JUST WANT TO BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

I will give you everything to

Say you want to stay you want me too
Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me
I want to know I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me
[2x]

Together, together we'll be together, together forever
I BELONG TO YOU
[2x]

Little supernovas in my head
Little soft pulses in my dead
Little souvenirs and secrets shared
Little of guard and unprepared

I will give you anything to
I will give you everything to

Say you want to stay you want me too
Say you'll never die you'll always haunt me
I want to know I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me
[2x]

Together, together we'll be together, together forever
I BELONG TO YOU
[2x]

"Dying"

It's only common sense so please don't take offense
I gotta say what's on my mind
Cuz all this bitterness has made me second-guess
And I have waited all my life
You know it's true - it isn't me, it isn't you
I can't be your man
But here's what I don't understand

If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

You leave me suffering 'til I can't feel a thing
It's all I got when I want more
If I waste one more day then they can take me away
Cuz it'll be worse than it was before
You know it's true - it isn't me, it isn't you
I can't be your man
But here's what I don't understand

If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
Cuz dying is all we're doing here

Oh, if I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing... what are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you - I don't wanna live without you
Cuz dying is all we're doing here
