The Message 03:58
If it makes you feel any better Well the love that I had for you is almost gone If it makes you feel any better Covered in hair, covered in lies I covered for you Walk the sidewalks home at night Baby all night long I’ve got a message I’ve got a message here for you If it makes you feel any better Suffered the lies, deadened my eyes, I just don’t know But you talk, talk, talk I can’t understand but the world keeps turning Covered in hair, covered in lies I covered for you
2.
Finding holes in the fabric of your mind Chasing lore of some other one another time Shining flaws in the fetters of sunshine Everything’s yours, everything’s yours Please don’t break the silence It’s deafening roar This time I can’t ignore Holding the prize bent on owning things so lovely Pressing on in the storm Through the sands of time Facing hordes in the 7th moon the 7th time Why can’t you just get out of my head some time Never quite sure, never quite sure And they fight for their honor And they hold their own separate ties And they both remain Everything’s lost and their fine The white horse is symbolic of course Led by the prophets they say In thine glory, the autocrats worry Opuses paved by their graves It haunts their eyes Wandering alibis Rise of the storm The eye of the storm passes by The tides rolling, his honor bestowing Fracturing waves on parade Glass eye probing, their numbers all-knowing Festering mobs are restrained And they fight for their honor And they hold their own separate ties And they both remain nailed to the cross Time marches on Everything’s lost and their fine

Sweet Lady 04:10
Well, storm is rising Tell what you see Lord I’m so far gone I can barely breathe Just wanna love you Baby all the time And I don’t want no one else Baby that’s no lie Sweet lady If you want trouble Baby I’m your man Lord I’m so worn down I can barely understand Just wanna love you Baby all the time Woman can’t you understand Everything in good time Sweet Lady I’m coming for you Baby understand And I try so hard Baby cause I’m your man In times of trouble It comes to me Woman can’t you understand Baby that’s not me Sweet Lady
4.
Money 05:07
Well, you’ve taken all the money And I thought you were my friend All around your world is crumbling down again Well, I gave you all you wanted But there never was an end Deep inside you bury hopes of a broken man Again and again you write me off Best you know when the light has dulled In spite of all the damage you’ve done Sorry that it all isn’t just how you wanted But it’s all lost in your time Sorry that it all isn’t just how you wanted And it comes with a price Baby all my money is on you Well you’re fooling all the people And it’s burning down your soul All your petty thoughts are gone And you’ve lost control
5.
Smoke Signal 07:25
Sorry as I’ve gone astray I use my wares in certain ways Leave it all behind these walls Tell me, can I have a little more? Well I know, I know, I know it’s strange Lost my faith in a red eyed gaze Do you understand? Lend a helping hand And I suffer, suffer for it every day Isn’t it enough that I bleed? Lately things just never start to seem Running from the holes in my head Every time I’m down this road again Even through the morning rain Tied myself with tongues of shame If you understand Lend a helping hand And I suffer, suffer for it every day Somebody said you’re so fucking lazy I said I stick out my neck when I can Hypnotized telling lies and I’ll teach you that the… Clothes never make the man I know you like it when you’re alone girl You better get it all while you can Separate, and I’m late, and I’ll meet you on the… Meet you on the other end 
6.
Can I bend your mind? Taking what was yours, now is mine Save my soul you say, I see the world Baby just the other way Writing’s on the ceiling, paid in lies I’m not your dog in this war Even though the wolves are at my door Can’t climb the walls no more Just can’t find anything that I’m looking for Paced the halls today, see your face in everything Just go away You’re so hard to please Even though I can still feel your disease Can’t hear my thoughts today Sink your teeth into everything that I say
7.
Me And You 04:13
Well you’ve always been my inspiration And I seldom choose to write down these perfect truths All of this time you change pettiness into wine And I can’t believe you’d rather fall down then choose Now I purposely flaunt my frustrations And I can’t deny your evil runs through and through She said “honey, I’m fine” from behind a veiled disguise And I can’t believe the lies that got into you Girl I just wanna breathe my love into you Oh, I don’t know what I’m gonna do As I sing my tune, I said I don’t know where… I don’t know where I’ve been to. But there’s always something wrong with me and you
8.
Corner 02:57
Lock me in the corner Pull the blinds, the moon won’t last Drag me to the bottom of your secrets Let the walls come down on me And it’s been too long And I don’t have much But the war rolls on And it’s all I ever think about Drown me in the water Pull the blinds, the rain won’t last Drag me to the bottom of your reasons Let the walls come down on me And the war rolls inside of my head And it’s cause baby you’re not there It’s all right, I don’t mind it Tell me little sister Tell me do you think you can ride it?
9.
Well the writings on the wall I’ve been told my friend Lending time to conquests that we once had And all the rite, all the rotten gazes that reach out upon the lands I’ve wandered Left to climb the mountain so high When the mind grows older We can decide the end of survive It’s all intertwined We’ve known this all these years And as the tribe rolls onward, Burning the pyres and swallowing embers Holding for miles, the source of all their fears Fall in line, you’ve done your time The gold is mine my brother You seem so troubled Hey, you better make time All is lost, set the course You’re cold as frost my brother You seem so troubled Hey, you better make time There are ancient pathways through mountains They say you need only guides I often ask myself just why And all is lost And all the talk of how they bleed through the valleys Bookend in torture As they climb the mountain so high Reach down today
