Brother
Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky
With some who say I've lost my mind
Brother, try and hope to find...
You, were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
Roses in a vase of white
Bloodies by the thorns
Beside the leaves that fall because my hand is
Pulling them hard as I can
You, were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away like I used to do
Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color taste
You, were always so far away
I know the way
So don't you run away like you used to do

Got Me Wrong
Yeh it goes away
All of this and more of nothing in my life
No colored clay
Individuality not safe
As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong
I can't let go
Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
Feel a tortured brain
Show your belly like you want me too
As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong
I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something got to turn out right
You sugar taste
Sweetness doesn't often touch my face
Stay if you please
You may not be here when I leave

Right Turn
Inside, always tryin' to get back inside
But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin
I'm 'bout as low as I can get
I'd leave but I can't forget
Still I wonder why it ain't right
She's 'bout a slow as she can get
She'd leave me but she won't forget
And she wonders why it ain't right
Now we're as low as we can get
Can't leave and can't forget
We ain't right
It's hard to believe some body tricked you
When you can see you were only high
It's all up to you so you gamble
Flat on your face and into the fire

Am I Inside
Loneliness follows me
Quicker than darkness crawls, to the surface of my skin
Visibly surrounded by it
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels
To be free
Surrounded by empty souls
Artificial courage used, and because so once was mine
I walk this maze alone
The man's beside himself
Man's below himself
Man's behind himself
Am I inside my self
Chaos and hate shadow me
Pain it fills me up, only one thing makes me feel
Missing better half of me

Love Song

Love song take one
Oooh, oooh
Auuugh!
I love you, and I'm coming back bitch
I think I should say something
I can't see you, I can't feel you, I can't I can't
Wash my face, cut out my teeth and tell me to grin
MY GUMS ARE BLEEDING! MY GUMS ARE BLEEDING!
I hate you, I hate you
Get a fucking haircut!
Go fuck yourself
Rae Dong Chung
Get something, get, get them, get them
Get them, get the fuckin' midget
Get the midget
Get the fuckin midget
Kiss the fuckin' midget
"Where the deer and antelope play..."
Kiss the midget
"That was perfect, you guys, that was great!"

DIRT

Them Bones
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big old pile a them bones
Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene
I feel so alone, gonna wind up a
Big ole pile a them bones
Toll due bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile a them bones

Dam That River
I broke you in the canyon
I drowned you in the lake
You a snake that I would trample
Only thing I'd not embrace
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
I pushed and then you stumbled
I kicked you in the face
You stare at me so hollow
Got to keep that killin' pace
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
I burned the place around you
I hit you with a rake
You piss upon my candle
So proving you're a fake

Rain When I Die
Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slippin' inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come here to try, try to take me
Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die
Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me
She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry
Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me
Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me
Prob'ly not, I know why, can't explain me

Down In A Hole
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb...in bloom
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, losin' control
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
of my feelings beneath
Oh I want to be inside of you
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly but my
Wings have been so denied

Sickman
What the hell am I?
Thousand eyes, a fly
Lucky then I'd be
In one day deceased
Sickman, sickman, sickman
I can feel the wheel, but I can't steer
When my thoughts become my biggest fear
Ah, what's the difference, I'll die
In this sick world of mine
What the hell am I
Leper from inside
Inside wall of peace
Dirty and diseased
Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman
I can see the end is getting near
I won't rest until my head is clear
Can you see the end?
Choke on me my friend
Must to drown these thoughts
Purity over rot
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of rape and despair
With head high and eyes alert
I tread on a plane of many
We who are of good nature and intention,
But cannot touch on the dark
Recesses of memory
And pain learned, so come walk
With me, feel the pain,
And release it
What the hell am I worn eroded pride
Saddened 10 mile wide
I'm gonna let it slide
Sickman, sickman, sickman, sickman
I can feel the wheel, but I can't steer
When my thoughts become my biggest fear
Ahh

Rooster
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster
You know he ain't gonna die
Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through

Junkhead
A good night, the best in a long time
A new friend turned me on to an old favorite
Nothing better than a dealer who's high
Be high, convince them to buy
What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And I do it a lot
Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm
Running their boring drills
But we are an elite race of our own
The stoners, junkies, and freaks
Are you happy? I am, man.
Content and fully aware
Money, status, nothing to me
'Cause your life is empty and bare
You can't understand a user's mind
But try, with your books and degrees
If you let yourself go and opened your mind
I'll bet you'd be doing like me
And it ain't so bad
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!
Say, I do it a lot!

Dirt
I have never felt such frustration
Or lack of self control
I want you to kill me
And dig me under, I wanna live no more
One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me
For me
I want to taste dirty, stinging pistol
In my mouth, on my tongue
I want you to scrape me from the walls
And go crazy like you've made me
You, you are so special
You have the talent to
Make me feel like dirt
And you, you use your
Talent to dig me under
And cover me with dirt

God Smack
Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead end stare
Don't you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don't find what you hide?
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
For the horse you've grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don't ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling bite your own self, too
And I think that you're not blind
To the ones you left behind
I'll be here
So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife
Now you know the reasons why
Can't get high, or you will die
Or you'll die
So your sickness weighs a ton
And God's name is smack for some

Hate To Feel
What's gone wrong, I can't see straight
Been too long, so full of hate
What the fuck will it take
Drown myself in my wake
Another shaggy D.A.
Now a dog, shake my leg
Plastic man, paper face
Candy heart, what a waste
Gotta change, set a date
Stare at me with empty eyes and
Point your words at me
Mirror on the wall will show you
What you're scared to see
I can see, yeah - (wish I couldn't see at all)
I can feel - (wish I couldn't feel at all)
Hate to see - (wish I couldn't see at all)
Hate to feel - (wish I couldn't feel at all)
So climb the walls,
Thin my blood now
And I crawl, back to bed now
What the hell, gotta rest
Aching pain in my chest
Lucky me, now I'm set
Little bug for a pet
New Orleans, gotta get
Pin cushion medicine
Used to be curious
Now the shit's sustenance
All this time I swore I'd never
Be like my old man
What the hay it's time to face
Exactly what I am

Angry Chair
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
What do I see across the way
See myself molded in clay
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid
Changing the shape of his face
Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
burning on the angry chair
Little boy made a mistake
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, boy
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah,
I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah
But I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere
I don't mind
Corporate prison, we stay
I'm a dull boy, work all day
So I'm strung out anyway
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
Saw my reflection and cried
So little hope that I died
Feed me your lies, open wide
Weight of my heart, not the size
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray

Would?
Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way
Drifting body it's sole desertion
Flying not yet quite the notion
Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home
Have I gone?
And left you here alone
If I would, could you?

Alice in Chains (Tripod)

Grind

In the darkest hole
You'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the
Body dies
Come the morning light
It's a see-through show
What you may have heard and
What you think you know
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
Sure to play a part
So you love the game
And in truth your lies
Become one and same
I could set you free
Rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking
As I take you down
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
In the darkest hole
You'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the
Body dies
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

Brush Away

I could use some
Time to curl away
My aggression
Is where you stake
Your claim
Why I question
This curve on which you grade
My conception
A joke? Or latest craze?
I try to get away
And yet I stick around
So fall and crawl away
And brush away loose ground
My intention
Can I arrive at eight
Lie and dream some
Surprise you guys I'm late
All right, correction, forgetting something
Wait
Brush away loose ground
Brush away loose ground

Sludge Factory

You insult me in my home
You're forgiven this time
Things go well, your eyes dilate
You shake, and I'm high?
Look in my eyes deep and watch
The clouds change with time
20 hours won't print
My picture milk carton size
Carton size
Carton size
Call me up congratulations
Ain't the real why
There's no pressure besides brilliance
Let's say by day 9
Endless corporate ignorance lets
Me control time
By the way, by the way, by the way, by the way
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date
For me
Now the body of one soul I adore wants to die
You have always told me you'd
Not live past 25
I say stay long enough to repay
All who caused strife
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date
For me

Heaven Beside You

Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Put heaven beside you
Hell within
And you think you have it still, heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up
And I'm not blind
I'm just see-through
Faded
Super jaded
And out of my mind
Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
Like the winter will
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up
But you're not blind
You're just see-through
Faded
Overrated
And out of your mind
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
Like the winter will
Heaven beside you ...Hell within
And you know you have it still, heaven inside you

Head Creeps

No more time
Just one more time
So crazy, beat the strain
Too lazy, shake the gray
So, and she willed the drain
So let me be defamed
Your redundancy stains
Tired of infantile claims
Like puppets on their strings
Untangle you from me
Time to call the doggies off
Tired of the shadowin'
Slide me to the side again
Slapped in the face again
No more time
Just one more time
Your redundancy stains
Tired of infantile claims
Live puppets on a string
Untangle you from me
One day my plane leaves
Some way my head creeps
Some day my head leads
Some way my head creeps
Empty room sets the scene
Pick at me slow, pain fiend
Suck me through barbed screen
Anger becomes our Queen
Tongue whipping forked black
How long until you crack
Surprised and set back
Lackey's loose talk for fact
One day my plane leaves
Some way my head creeps
Some day my head leads
Some way my head creeps
So crazy feel the hate
Yeah, I've got years to wait
I know it's not too late
Lending clean hands to fate
Rise from the dirt I'm in
Hide in another's skin
Stick black dress doll with pin
Your mouth takes on my grin

Again

Hey...Let them do it again
Yeah
Hey...You said you were my friend
Hey...Turn me upside down
Hey...Feelin' so down
Hey...Hey...HEY!!!
I know I made the same mistakes
I...I won't do it again, no
Why...Why you slap me in the face, ow
I...I didn't say it was okay, no
No...No
Hey...You had time to think it out, yeah
Hey...Your weak will won't help her heal her heart, no
Hey...I'll bet it really eats you up

Shame In You

When I awaken
And I'm achin'
Time for sleepin', yeah
When I'm sayin'
Time to go and
I've been hurtin', yeah
When I'm layin'
I'm still trying
Concentrating on dyin', yeah
You're right as rain
But you're wrong to blame
Agreed my crime's the same
My sins I'll claim
Give you back shed pain
Go find a place for own shame, yeah
So you can deal
with this thing unreal
No one made you feel any hurt, yeah
Body's movin'
Only provin'
No one needs to move
Still believin'
Yet mistaken
All God's children, yeah
And I must say
I was stupid
Selfishly she consumed, yeah
And you must change
Patterns all we trained
Or n'er regain peace you seek
Now you hear me
For the things I see
Yeah, I believe in inner peace, yeah
Throw out
Blow up
Hold in
Show fine
No signs
Grow blind

God Am

Dear God, how have you been, then?
I'm not fine, fuck pretending
All of this death you're sending
Best throw some free heart mending
Invite you in my heart, then
When done, my sins forgiven?
This God of mine relaxes
World dies I still pay taxes
Can I be as my God am
Can you be as God am
Can I be as my God am
God of all my God am
So Lord, I see you grinnin'
Must be grand always winning
How proud are you being able
To gather faith from fable
Can I be as my God am
Can you be as God am
Can I be as my God am
God of all my God am
God am
My God am
God am
God
All this respect I'm giving
Shared strenght acquired by livin'
All bloomin' life you're feeding
Can't hide sick ones you're weeding
Can I be as my God am
Can you be as God am
Can I be as my God am
God of all my God am
God am
God am
God am

So Close

Why are we here again
It's the same ol' sit down roll around
Chewed up pen
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothing thrilling me
Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now
Man, I nearly snapped my twig
Then again I nearly snapped
A few of you
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think
Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now
Why
Why
Why

Nothin' Song

Began this take at 7:38
Head hit the board, enough that it aches
Wonder should I be workin' so late
Began this take at 7:38
Head hit the board, enough that it aches
Wonder should I be workin' so late
Wonder should I be workin' so late
The nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Nothin' ever stays the same
Nothin'
Yeah, nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
Went outside to give all a break
Wearing cowhide, steak on a skate
Back inside, Sam throw away your cake
Went outside to give a break
Wearing cowhide, steak on a skate
Back inside Sam, throw away your cake
Back inside Sam, throw away your cake
Gotta finish so I can awake
Feed the cat or she spreads all the waste
Snap her neck or trade in for new make
Gotta finish so I can awake
Feed the cat or she spreads all the waste
Snap her neck or trade in for new make
Snap her neck or trade in for new make
The nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Nothin' ever stays the same
The nothin' song sticks to your mouth

Frogs
What does friend mean to you?
A word so wrongfully abused
Are you like me, confused
All included but you
Alone...
The sounds of silence often soothe
Shapes and colors shift with mood
Pupils widen and change their hue
Rapid brown avoid clear blue
Why's it have to be this way
Be this way
Flowers watched through wide
brown eyes
A child sings an unclaimed tune
Innocence spins cold cocoon
Grow to see the pain too soon

Over Now

Yeah, it's over now
But I can breathe somehow
When it's all worn out
I'd rather go without
You know it's been on my mind
Could you stand right here
Look me straight in the eye and say
That it's over now
We pay our debt sometime
Well it's over now
Yet I can see somehow
When it's all gone wrong
It's hard to be so strong
We pay our debt sometime
Guess it's over now
I seem alive somehow
When it's out of sight
Just wait and do your time
You know it's been on my mind
Could I stand right here
Look myself in the eye, and say
That it's over now
We pay our debt sometime

Last Action Hero Soundtrack

What the Hell Have I?
The face before me flies
Laughs at me inside
Masks are made to hide the glow
Shining eyes
Distance 'tween us grows
Feeding lies
It's hard to start things over
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah
Something I should say
It takes you every day
What you give is not alive
Today
Your soul served on a plate
Throw it away
It's hard to start things over
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah
It's hard to start things over
Oh yeah
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah
It's hard to start things over
Oh yeah
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah
All the time
What the hell have I?
Little Pride

A Little Bitter
How the mind does shout for rest
When the bodies shaken, yeah
Oh the tightness in my chest
Still your leaves I'm raking
Lord is this a test
Was it fun creating, yeah?
My god's a little sick
And he wants me crazy
Who
Are you
Who can say
It's ok to live through me?
Live to be
Part of me
You're a wrinkled magazine
Yeah
Was it something that I said?
Was it how they're breaking, yeah
I'm so selfish, paying your rent
While your blood I'm taking
You
Spend me
Like a tree
Dirty dollar bills for leaves
Dark in a sea
Of my seeds
And the tears on which you feed
You feed
The body is a temple
A dormant altar
To where infantile men lie around
Itching and nibbling
For a small piece of sanity
Of which you can not give
Shit!
Individuality
Buying pennies with my soul
And a little Heaven spent
While the Hell I'm taking
Thieves
Parasites
Hide from life
You know they'll remember me
They are abhored
In self-worth
All that matters much to me
Yeah
