Afterbite 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Standing blindfolded by the whiskey jar I pushed and shoved my way out of the horse car I’m picking up the broken parts of a boring romantic war To be overcome by grief wouldn’t get me very far No hard feelings I need an afterbite On open flesh wounds that haven’t left scars No hard feelings I need an afterbite Let me fall back on you girl just for the night Be my afterbite Strolling through the threshold of the bawdy house Stepped-up to the plate with a marshal star Renegade deprecating faith in any spouse Stop beating about the bush and show me what you are No hard feelings I need an afterbite On open flesh wounds that haven’t left scars No hard feelings I need an afterbite Let me fall back on you girl just for the night Be my afterbite Ah take it honey Standing blindfolded by the whiskey jar I pushed and shoved my way out of these arms I’m picking up the boots and trousers and the marshal star To be overcome by grief wouldn’t get me very far No hard feelings I need an afterbite On open flesh wounds that haven’t left scars No hard feelings I need an afterbite Let me fall back on you girl just for the night Be my afterbite

Gettin’ down gettin’ dirty I got voodoo in my veins Won’t strive to heal it don’t try Don’t try to steal it I just Can’t get enough gettin’ nasty I got the voodoo in my head I’ll share the feelings I’ll share the feelings if you’re Down to the bottom roundabout With your soul left torn and bruised Walkin’ down the long road you might find The skeleton keys to my room Come and join me in but then nothin’ you can do about it Gettin’ down gettin’ dirty I got voodoo in my veins Won’t strive to heal it don’t try Don’t try to steal it I just Can’t get enough gettin’ nasty I got the voodoo in my head I’ll share the feelings I’ll share the feelings if you’re Left dumb forgotten and blind about it with your eyes roaming at the noose Fearin’ out death coming low with its own cold set of tools Come and join me in but then nothin’ you can do about it Gettin’ down gettin’ dirty I got voodoo in my veins Won’t strive to heal it don’t try Don’t try to steal it I just Can’t get enough gettin’ nasty I got the voodoo in my head I’ll share the feelings I’ll share the feelings if you’re Down to the bottom roundabout With your soul left torn and bruised Walkin’ down the long road you might find The skeleton keys to my room Come and join me in but then nothin’ you can do about it Gettin’ down gettin’ dirty I got voodoo in my veins Won’t strive to heal it don’t try Don’t try to steal it I just Can’t get enough gettin’ nasty I got the voodoo in my head I’ll share the feelings I’ll share the feelings if you’re Left dumb forgotten and blind about it with your eyes roaming at the noose Fearin’ out death coming low with its own cold set of tools Come and join me in but then nothin’ you can do about it

That stupid sunrise on this empire of mine Left me blind into thinkin’ right Shame over my throne for I let arise The beast inside that was cravin’ For the remnants of the quest what’s left What is worth fighting for But consequences as we walk on by Yeah walk on by the dying You’ve got to break out of these chains son The price I paid the king’s ransom For this coat of arms dedication The price I paid the king’s ransom That stupid sunset at the end of the line Bares my ending my depicted truth Dead flesh and bones a thousand would rise In a wish to gaze upon it For the remnants of the quest what’s left What is worth dying for But great sadness as they walk on by Yeah walk on by the dying You’ve got to break out of these chains son The price I paid the king’s ransom For this coat of arms dedication The price I paid the king’s ransom You’ve got to break out of these chains son The price I paid the King’s Ransom For this coat of arms abdication The price I paid the king’s ransom

Grace 03:53
lyrics

I know this perfect place where I can run from myself Within a hailing distance there’s no room for no one else That’s where I grow thoughts out of small places Grow old toughen up my stance A decision awaits in which a coward can’t rule Whatever is embraced you get to carry it out just like a mule so Go at your own pace go on and on just like a fool While she’s spittin’ out the venom through a web of lies in a fairy’s disguise There’s no truth if no one has to believe the shit you’re sayin’ How sometimes voices that you hear may take you to another place With another face Longing to figure out just where the hell do I fit in Guess I just can’t stand as a part of the whole with a missing link Grow thoughts out of small places Grow old toughen up my stance Indecision awaits in which no promises can meet Looking down standing on the edge of the cliff wondering how steep Go out with some grace go on knock me off my feet While you’re spittin’ out the venom through a web of lies in a fairy’s disguise There’s no truth if no one has to believe the shit you’re sayin’ How sometimes voices that you hear may take you to another place When the breathing stopped I just kept wishing for a state of grace

Blackbird in stunning shades screams out your despair Dragging out the lonely years as dead leaves grasp for air A mindset black as coal a body tired and old The pale light entertains the pain’s pitch black and back again Illness triggers emptiness as fear entails the cage Over mental loneliness which is 49 years of age The darkest marigold in my own canvas painted bold Redemption in rusty chains over post traumatic growth If you’re blind enough to dig through darkness Pills and blades Knife sharp and dirty toxins Pills and blades Hear the sirens start screamin’ Pills and blades Took it all away from me Hiding in the shadows hidden inside Pills and blades By the fiery pits of hell Pills and blades Down the path of self-destruction Pills and blades A thousand miles away Bright scarlet color fades to a one-night love affair As the eyes roll back in tears in a pale dramatic glare That story black and cold already paid the toll In a cold September rain the pain’s pitch black and back again Illness triggers emptiness as fear entails the rage Over mental loneliness 27 years of age The darkest marigold in my own canvas painted bold Redemption in rusty chains over post traumatic growth If you’re blind enough to dig through darkness Pills and blades Knife sharp and dirty toxins Pills and blades Hear the sirens start screamin’ Pills and blades Took it all away from me Hiding in the shadows hidden inside Pills and blades By the fiery pits of hell Pills and blades Down the path of self-destruction Pills and blades A thousand miles away If you’re blind enough to dig through darkness Pills and blades Knife sharp and dirty toxins Pills and blades Hear the sirens start screamin’ Pills and blades Took it all away from me Hiding in the shadows hidden inside Pills and blades By the fiery pits of hell Pills and blades Down the path of self-destruction Pills and blades A thousand miles away If you’re blind enough to dig through darkness Pills and blades Knife sharp and dirty toxins Pills and blades Hear the sirens start screamin’ Pills and blades Took it all away from me Hiding in the shadows hidden inside Pills and blades By the fiery pits of hell Pills and blades Down the path of self-destruction Pills and blades A thousand miles away

Rise 03:19

Yeah you had it comin’ now ain’t it vain to try and dodge it You got wide-eyed delights uncontrolled pleasures No doubt about it tears are famous to the cheek You talked about your feared realities which are full of shit Damnation turns your world around Yeah you never breathe a word about it Once trust’s deferred it makes the heartsick heart-sick As I salute you for moral crimes you do to you Silence stands overclouded But when your soul disappears into the shallow light In your crisis of faith and your lack of height I shall rise So I hurt your feelings now ain’t it vain to try and dodge it You’ve been blind before the lights of countermeasures No doubt about it tears are famous to the cheek As blended flecks of your own memories a lured soul is full of it Damnation turns your world around If you never breathe a word about it Once trust’s deferred it makes the heartsick heart-sick As I elute yeah one thousand miles before you Don’t say my name out loud But when your soul disappears into the shallow light In your crisis of faith and your lack of height I shall rise

Further Down Below 03:50

Mistakes are kind of calling you fill your need for a few regrets How greedy and out of tune cheatin’ the one that love you best You’re hanging on hanging on a thread of hope How fear of oneself is way too often mirrored through somebody else If I don’t leave now and let you go I’ll fall down further down below If I don’t leave now and let you go I’m further down below You sucked the life right out of me I can’t go through another test Violating intimacy will always lead lead to the lover’s death If I don’t leave now and let you go I’ll fall down further down below If I don’t leave now and let you go I’m further down below Further down below Further down below Mistakes are kind of calling me it serves you right not to forget There’s no such thing as certainty but fools are seldom fooled again You’re hanging from hanging from a threaded rope How fear of oneself is way too awful when it’s mirrored through somebody else If I don’t leave now and let you go I’ll fall down further down below If I don’t leave now and let you go I’m further down below

Careless 02:59
lyrics

Instead of thinking about it I wrote it down You’ve robbed me of my voice anyway You threw my heart yeah right against the wall As the light went out in a guilty way If you settle over broken grounds Chances are no one’s really here to stay I can’t put up put up with you you’re prison bound Got claustrophobia over histrionic ways I guess nothing’s free from crumbling Careless Are promises worth keeping? Careless Yes for some kind of reason The girl was careless Are you thinking about it as you’re nodding down? Does this song ring any memories? The walls the sounds as it all went down The scream of guilt the whole scenery Killing the whistleblower won’t give you a turnaround There’s no way out no way out this mess you made Here I stood waiting just like a clown While thieves and cheaters danced the night away I guess nothing’s free from crumbling Careless Are promises worth keeping? Careless Yes for some kind of reason The girl was careless I’m selling out this soul for gold not to worry About narrow minded mercenaries Give up or strengthen your ego Before it falls apart and fades away I got it over with I’ll get over it Go on scream out to me It’s time for me to light up pull over let-it go Sometimes it’s better to cut than to let it grow And all the little hell hums they remind me of How careless this life has become It’s time for me to light up pull over let-it go Sometimes it’s better to cut than to let it grow And all the little hell hums they remind me of How careless this life has become

Anger Incorporated 03:26

I know this world seems kind of crazy Without words of sympathy Can we go on living in the blindness of the sin? The evil eye to tell you so Worked all your life 40 years of compromise One day you’re rich the next it’s all gone This thing ain’t complicated when love turns to hatred Go on act like nothin’ is wrong Anger incorporated oh oh oh Haven’t we all built it? With jealousy and hatred We just all let it grow I’ve been used and abused I’ve been burned I loved and cherished I was left to perish Guess I forgot forgave I’ve been weak I’ve been brave Earned my first-class ticket straight to heaven Put on your raincoat outside it’s pouring lies It’s all about how low can you go? What kind of value do you grow over your next of kin? Out trading sex in for a little dough Anger incorporated oh oh oh Haven’t we all built it? With jealousy and hatred We just all let it grow This life is overrated it’s time for me to go It’s time for me to leave you in your own freak show The kind of deal you own in this society has grown To be the worst-case scenario Let’s bring some sunshine till the end of the line This state of mind I’m in wants steady mornings I’m still alive after the fall yes I stand What is the outcome I don’t know yet Anger incorporated oh oh oh Haven’t we all built it? With jealousy and hatred We just don’t let it show

Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck When the ink starts to itch the black gonna turn to red I was born in the soul of misery Never had me a name never had a name They just gave me the number when I was young Got a long line of heartache I carry it well The list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back I pray you don't look at me I don't look back I was born in the soul of misery Never had me a name never had a name They just gave me the number when I was young Now carry-on son I was born in the soul of misery Never had me a name never had a name They just gave me the number when I was young I was born in the soul of misery Never had me a name never had a name They just gave me the number when I was young

Baby asked to kiss my clay cold lips so I made her day sink to noir They found the smart-ass lover boy lying on the bathroom floor Broken fingernails stuck in the eye could point back to a thousand whores But I left a blood-dripping note ain’t gonna bother you no more Somebody had to teach the lesson Couldn’t care less about the blessing Be careful what you’re wishin’ Oh oh I’m down with it Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby Whoa oh oh I’m your brand-new candy man Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby Whoa oh oh make a wish I’ll understand First call for ritual second call I grow silent First call for ritual second call I grow silent Third call I resolve Baby wants to get my fingertips and send daddy to the abattoir They found the tough ass wife beater lying on the concrete floor Cut downed fingers straight to the knuckles just to see how tough you are But I left a blood-dripping note ain’t gonna bother you no more Somebody had to teach the lesson Couldn’t care less about the blessing Be careful what you’re wishin’ Oh oh I’m down with it Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby Whoa oh oh I’m your brand-new candy man Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby Whoa oh oh make a wish I’ll understand First call for ritual second call I grow silent First call for ritual second call I grow silent First call for ritual second call I grow silent Third call I resolve

She whispered up to me now would you find me crazy If I should go ahead and tell you so How she looked tall by the end of the hall In those black panty hose Up for a ride just for the night but right now My head is a mess too much up my nose Oh honey don’t you worry I ain’t one of those Someday I’ll settle down Move downtown 303 That’s where I’ll find the candy Can’t settle down I feel the heat I belly up to sammii sweet How she looked good in a tank top Good golly my jaw drops Whoa Good God she stands out right on her own sammii Where did you get that candy name? She whispered up to me now would you find me crazy If I should go ahead and tell you so How she looked tall by the end of the hall In those black panty hose Up for a ride just for the night but right now My head is a mess too much up my nose Oh honey don’t you worry I ain’t one of those Someday I’ll settle down Move downtown 303 That’s where I’ll find the candy Can’t settle down I feel the heat I belly up to sammii sweet
