Ballad of the Recluse

Locked up tight inside so no one can see me
Theres no place that I would rather be
I look around and see everything I need
I'm never coming out, I hope that you can see
And even though I'm probably not safe
I need some more but that will have to wait
Will someone please tell me I'm not losing it
I'm sick and tired of sifting through the same shit
Stared at the screen for hours to find what its about
I try and try but nothing good will come out
And its been a while since I've seen the light (the light!)
Pop some vitamin-d and I'm doing alright (alright!)
I see the dogs walking around the yard
Oh to be free!
Not to know what tomorrow brings!
I know its not safe out there
They've poisoned the food, the water, the air
And thats why I'm never coming out!

I keep hoping this all will end
And in time we can make amends
But I keep focused straight ahead
I'm trying not to come out of this one dead
I've been working such long hours
And my mind is getting weak
Somehow I don't think I can
Keep up with this winning streak
I'm so lucky it hasn't gotten worse
With all these hangups I'll never finish first
So I lay down my curse
And nail it in place
Now stay the fuck out of my face
Its been so long
Since I've had the chance to really rest
And it seems so wrong
But I keep on waiting, keep on searching for the end

Vandal's Heart

I just want to smash
Just want to destroy everything
That stands in our way of reaching the other side
I just want to be happy
Just want to be well
Because I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired day to day
Theres got to be another way
I say we burn it all down
Till theres nothing left
Come one everybody its fun till death
If we get lost
If some leave along the way
Just remember no matter how much money they have
They'll never be happy
They'll never be happy
Come on give me a brick!
Let it all go wild!
Because in our lives we may turn some heads
We'll spin them 360 and spin them right off
And if we get lost
If some leave along the way
Just remember all the times we laughed so hard we cried
And forgot for a moment what hurts inside
Because me
I'll never forget

Broken wrist and broken bottles
Won't you show me the way to back up
I'm filthy, I haven't bathed in a while
Neurotic thoughts going through my head
Somehow they keep me doing whats right
I just needed someone to talk to
Cause now I see that its all wrong
I've been this way for far too long
Help me find the way back home
I'm tired of feeling all alone
That water really tastes like shit
Compared to a cold one
But now the poison takes its hold
And makes all the misery go away
I wish it wasn't like this
I wish it wasn't like this
I wish I could smile and it wouldn't hurt no more

Back to the Bridge

I can't help but think of the past and of that fateful day
A mixture of fire and gas burned it all away
The inferno raged for only moment but turned the bridge to ash
If only it was just as easy to burn away the past
On the surface it may not seem like anything is wrong
But get it right, this is one last song, to set it straight
An internal conflict turns into world war 3 and how can it be?
I have fought, I have lost, but I will prevail
I get this feeling, I get this feeling deep within my bones, it makes me feel so cold
And it just ain't right, it just ain't right, to feel guilty, at a time like this
To look to the future, we look to the past, but when we see fire, what do we do today?
I say we stay, I say we fight, because if we don't we won't make it through the night
Suspicions become reality in this paranoid illusion
How can I see the truth when I'm victim to this confusion
Actions played out without thought of consequences
I consider rebuilding bridges but choose wiser to mend the fences
I've lost my mind but picked up some useful things along the way
Got to keep the defenses up its a shame it has to be this way
I keep an eye on the rear view mirror not to see what I'm leaving but to see whats coming back
Some corpses won't stay dead ditch your crosses aim for the head, and let it go!
I get this feeling, I get this feeling deep within my bones, it makes me feel so cold
And it just ain't right, it just ain't right, to feel guilty, at a time like this
To look to the future, we look to the past, but when we see fire, what do we do today?
I say we stay, I say we fight, we'll be alright

Sometimes I feel that I'm the only one that feels the way I do
Sometimes the choices they make themselves, others they choose you
And when the chips are down true colors are shown
Plot twists and broken wrists and life goes on
I can't help but question why?
All these people had to die
All I really want to know
Is why they keep on falling?
They keep on falling...
Down to the bottom, the pit of despair
Where everything's so itchy and you wouldn't speak, no you wouldn't dare
You see them coming for you, baby you're not blind
You attempt to run but they've got you pinned down this time
I can't help but question why?
All these people had to die
All I really want to know
Is why they keep on falling?
They keep on falling
I'm gonna scream till my ears bleed
I'm left down in a gutter with my defenses dropped, you stripped them all away
I look to the sky for signs of rain
I keep my faith in nothing because thats all I've got
I sit and wonder why?
We wept and looked to the skies
It's not about how you question
It's about how you answer
Ignorance is bliss but knowledge saves lives
Theres no need for sacrifice
Ignorance is bliss but knowledge saves lives
Theres no need for sacrifice
Now I know what it feels like
Go ahead and open your eyes
I got no time for your fantasies
So fuck you
I'm gonna scream till my ears bleed
I'm left down in a gutter with my defenses dropped, you stripped them all away
I look to the sky for signs of rain
I keep my faith in nothing because thats all I've got
