My enemy

1. Play the fence, one way you're gonna fall
Sometimes I don't know who you are at all
Your opinion is something that you've got inside
but I see the loyalty has up and died.
You skeletons, my skeletons,
life is only getting' shorter
You can be my enemy and I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself.
2. Stories run in circles that have no end
I hit on luck, then you burn me out again
There's a way that you keep the truth in check
Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck
Keep the peace when face to face with the scene
Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean
Weather's fair, does that change where you stand?
My back is turned and the knife is in your hand.
Your genocide, my genocide,
life is only gettin' shorter
You can be my enemy and I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself
You can be my enemy, I don't care
You try too hard, I cannot tell.
(Solo)
Your genocide, my genocide,
life is only gettin' shorter
You can be my enemy, I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself
You can be my enemy, I don't care
You try too hard, I cannot tell.

Fire sign

1. Sailing ships go through my mind, past wreckage on the way
Glory seekers fall in line gettin' closer
Summer laughs, some will cry, what will summer bring?
Some will take her by the reins and ride the sufferin'.
Bridge. On a carousel through my yesterdays
doubt sees the obstacles, and faith sees the way yeah.
On a carousel through my yesterdays
doubt sees the obstacles, and faith sees the way
faith sees the way...
Ref. All the ways you kill me
They've begun to thrill me
Nothing there fulfills my firesign
Brotherhood betrayal,
sabotage to no avail
Nothing there can clear my firesign
No, no...
2. Beaten burned I'll take the fall and get up right in your face
Walk all over what I believe but I'm still here you disappear without a trace
No need to follow, no need to lead
no need to beg or borrow, I just need to be me.
(Repeat Bridge)
(Back to Ref.)
(Solo)
On a carousel through my yesterdays

Bonehead

1. Is there a problem, the laugh of the rich man has got your cryin' poor?
Are you as heavy as hell in a handbag or just a virgin whore?
If the weight of the world is on your shoulders then carry it for a day
do you cry for peace, or peace of mind, is reality in the way?
2. Enter the martyr out through the indoor, the savior has arrived
Is all your anger force of habit and keepin' you alive?
An empty shotgun shootin' your mouth off, something's on your mind
The cheap messiah of persecution alive and doin' fine.
Ref. I won't leave if you stay, I don't buy what you say
If you're a new God let me see a miracle
I won't leave if you stay, I don't buy what you say
I can't say that you're a fool but
if you're a new God let me see a miracle.
(Solo)

Beat yourself blind

1. Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstition
Pour me a chemical to take away the edge
Don't make up anything that's breakin' all your fingers
Just slack around a bit of what it takes to pledge.
No...
Carry out another stone as a slave
Ask general-know-it-all who's jugglin' the earth
Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave and
shove aside your nation all for what it's worth.
Beat yourself blind (6x)
An open eye and a closed mind.
2. Look at the suit in suspended animation
A faded outline that used to be a man
A piece of paper that's fallin' out a window
has got a better chance to know where it lands...
Beat yourself blind (5x)
An open eye and a closed mind.
To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain
Under my eyes are painted skies...
(Solo)
Down at the bone yard they're diggin' up the relics
Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines
I've got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission
The zombies had a ball but they don't know what it means...
No, they don't know...
Beat yourself blind...

Eileen

1. There are things we cannot see that hang within her sight
There are people we won't remember that dance with her at night.
Ref. Eileen is callin' me
to sit awhile and talk to trees
Eileen, can't you see
the songs you sing are scarin' me?
Eileen,
Eileen...
2. She romances with the moon, full and alone
It's really a street light, it's something we all know.
(Back to Ref.)

3. There are things we cannot see that hang within her sight

Remains to be seen

Shy a quarters headroom, I saw the half-moon was burnin' down
Play with your reflection 'cause an infection is goin' around.
Dive head-on into me dive head-on into me
Dive head-on into me dive head-on into me.
(Solo)
Meet my neighbor's widow, a black and blue doe, she's up a tree yeah
Trip, the lightning spastic, Captain Fantastic, the nineteen seventies.
Dive head-on into you dive head-on into you
Dive head-on into you dive head-on into you.
Bury the news with the views from behind the door
Rattle the bones with the drones at the corner store
See them for myself.
(Solo)
Commies, kinks and masochists
weirdoes, love and homicide
witches, freaks and 45s
Kick a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel ride.
(Solo)
Dive head-on into you dive head-on into you
Dive head-on into me dive head-on into me...

Subhuman race

1. Jesus, he knows my story, he knows the position that I'm in
A hooker knows the feelin'
to get fucked the way I've been
Turn my insides out, your mouth drank my water.
Ref. You, you look at me like I'm subhuman
You, you talk to me like I'm subhuman
You, you're treatin' me like I'm subhuman
You, I'm jumpin' into the subhuman race.
2. Brothers, hear my story, but don't you take no pity out on me
A soldier knows the feelin'
to be pushed out in a field
Takin' liberties, burned by your dictation.

Frozen

One, two, three, four...
1. As I stare into the fire
all my thoughts go up in flames
Here I stare into the fire
I'll be waitin' on the rain.
The box I keep myself in, closes out my air
So I build a fire, so I can sit and stare...
Ref. Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen?
2. As I stare into the weather
my eyes dryin' from the cold (so cold)
As I stare into the weather, I sense my thoughts growin' old.
I listen to the prophets, predict the stem of tides
I stare into the weather that's keepin' me inside...
(Back to Ref.)
(Solo)
3. As I stare into the fire
will the prophets change my mind?
While I stare into the fire
all the colors treat me kind...
I'll dust away the fallings, the winter leaves for me
I'll stare into the fire, and set tomorrow free...

Into another

1. Slowly I heal the love that's found its way
onto another path in times of change
Crossin' a bridge unknown,
hopin' our strange will hold
Should they both let go then let me lay
Let me lay…
Ref. Show me a sign
to a light that shines
One direction into another
shelter peace of mind.
No…
2. Somewhere I lost a piece of memory
Somehow I know my legs will carry me yeah
Searchin' for circles end,
hopin' the wound will mend
Should this scar, then it was meant to be.

Face against my soul

1. How can I see tomorrow, if you keep me in the dark?
And when will I see forever, if you damn me from the start?
There must be a way to get through to your blackened heart
You build a wall inside a wall, and there's no door.
Ref. Lay your body by the water, press your face against my soul
Wadin' through all your convictions, we can come in from the cold.
2. Searchin' greener pastures, and findin' desert sands
Cycles on the treadmill, turns up empty hands
Do I have to blood-let just to get another chance?
Inside of you there is a view that sees me there.

Medicine jar

1. Caught the mother jack knifin'
a little bit low lifin'
goin' twenty paces with the medicine man
Runnin' from the girl in pigskin
a little gun shy but shootin'
hidin' in the kitchen with his head in his hand.
Bleed me, why can't you say what you mean?
Ref. How far has it gone, it didn't take it long
put your hand in the medicine jar
In your private hell, now you've found yourself
by the hands of the medicine jar yeah.
2. Sittin' here with all your bitchin'
lookin' up a new addiction
prayin' that the light of day ain't wakin' the dead
Droppin' like a bomb on Hiro
shakin' like San Francisco
only to be diggin' out to do it again
Bleed me, why can't you say what you mean?
(Back to Ref.)
Make it go away, make it go away...
(Solo)
Caught the mother jack knifin'
a little bit of low lifin'
goin' twenty paces with the medicine man.
Droppin' like the bomb on Hiro
shakin' like San Francisco
hidin' in the jungle with your head in the sand.
(Back to Ref.)
How far has it gone, it didn't take it long
put your hand in the medicine jar
One step from bein' free, what did you think you'd see
at the bottom of the medicine jar?
One step from bein' free, what did you think you'd see...
Shakin' your private hell, and now you've found yourself...
How far has it gone, it didn't take it long ...

Breakin' down

1. What was it you once said
that there would be things in life
that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that
Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home…
Ref. If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down…
2. As if you thought the rain
could wash away the day
and could heal you
Not for a second did I believe it
Not for a minute did I believe that
Within your need you lie a lone
This empty space you call your home…
(Back to Ref. 2 times)

Iron will

1. Life comes and goes, quick as does the day
Greed, for those who know, is just a step away
Time's a breathin' bomb, goin' with the flow
Stand atop it all outside the status quo.
No see no speak then nowhere you're goin'
Drag your feet then nothing you're showin'
Take your place or fall to the lions
Lose your face and stand where you're dyin'.
Ref. Livin' in a hole is takin' its toll, my iron will's in position
Seize you are not owed, stand or fall, and refuse to be denied.
2. Pride is all in vain, without the blood of need
Bones can break in shame, from takin' charity
Hide from all the hell, and wash up with the tide
Wait and you commit psychological suicide...
Break the mold of beg and submission
Wake the dead or no one will listen
Holdin' ground is just the beginnin'
It's uphill bound and in for the killin'.
