I am in the night
I am every part of it
The consumption of its beast 
The deck that it deals
The veins that bleed
The caress of its serpent

I am the night
As it writhes and undulates toward dawn
It moans and cries a symphony of anger
I am its agony as it struggles against the light
And dies with the strike of the Sun God.

HARD

It's hard to get high
And it's hard to get through
And it hard to hear me, but I'm talkin' to you
And you see these hard eyes you know what I mean
And these eyes got hard
Now I can't see
I mean hard, man so good to find
I'm not hard, man, well I am mine
Go! Oh yeah!
I got hard, and I stayed hard
You can't keep me down because I'm hard
I keep movin' because I'm hard
I keep burnin' because I am hard
I'm goin' over not gettin' back
Hard sense makes sense
Go! Aww, talk about death bass
Real pain is what I reach
The real thing is what I came for
I am - because I'm hard
I will - because I am hard


WHAT HAVE I GOT

I've got a wantless need
I've got a thoughtless mind
I've got a wantless want
I can't unwind
I've got a heart that hates
I've got hands that like to break
They tell me : hold on
They never let me go
I am a clenched fist lookin' for a wall to kiss
I am a locked door lookin' for a foot to kick me to the floor

What have I got? I've got everything
What have I got? Nothin' much at all

Self rejected, well protected, to lock myself inside myself to get free
Self-hated, frustrated, my hands turn to fists
Violence - so hard to resist
I get so mad I do things that I regret
So stupid, so stupid, not stupid enough to ever forget

Got no need, got no brain - inside my mind I feel no pain, no
I feel the pounding in my head
Start lookin', start lookin' - you better look out
I'm not feelin' too nice today
........................

I can't stop, I can't stop - it pulls me together then it tears me apart
Just like that


FEEL LIKE THIS

I feel like this, like this, like this...
I feel I wanna break myself in two
I feel like I wanna feel like you
I feel like this, I feel like this
I feel like this, I feel like this
I feel like this, pass me through me, pass me through me
I feel like this, ripping through me, ripping through me
Do you feel it?
Like I feel it? - Like this?!


PLANET JOE

I don't need no friends to tell me who my friends are
I don't need some pig to tell me what the rules are
See me walkin' I'm loaded
See me walkin' I'm loaded
I've got an ear for every sound
I've got an ear down to the ground
These blues come down
These blues come down
The streets are burnin'
The years are turnin'
The sky is falling down
The line has been drawn
Been pushed too far
Been pushed too hard
Knocked down, knocked down, no, no, no, break it
I don't need your lovin'
I don't want your beauty
I go back in my head, I go ugly in my head
This home is loaded, it's ugly
This lonely ghetto, it's ugly
See him walkin' with a gun in his hand
See I'm walkin' with a gun in my hand
See him walkin' with a gun in my heart
Loaded, ugly, loaded, ugly, loaded, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly...

TURNED INSIDE OUT

Turned inside out for all to see
Turned inside out for all to see
Touch this, feel this
See yourself, see the monster
Feel the beast
Laugh, laugh, laugh out loud
Say Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak
freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak
Take this

You're a criminal
Could that be you? Could that be you? Could that be you? Could that be you?
Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak
Turned inside out for all to see
Turned inside out for all to see, see, see
See it till your eyes blind you
See it till your eyes blind you, killer, killer, killer
Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak

Get up get up, get up, gte up, get up
Entertain me, entertain me, entertain me, entertain me
Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing
Turned inside out for all to see
Turned inside out, out, out, out, for all to see
Laughing, laughing, laughing, lauging, as you fall
Ohhhh, you fall
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak
Turned inside out for all to see, for all to see, for all to see


DOWN AND AWAY
Well I close my eyes and I look inside
Well I realize I'm a bad case
Well I'm at the last place that I wanna be
I open my eyes and I wanna get away
Push me, Pull me, ... ... ... and I wanna run, I wanna hide
And I can't get away, I can't get away

And I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get to myself, so I can't get to you
And I can't get close when I get close to you
And I can't get through myself so I can't get to you

There's an ego followin' the way I feel
The closer I get, the farther away I feel
I can't get in and I can't get out
Why don't you touch me so I can feel it
I want you to touch me so I can feel it
I'm dead as I look to your eyes
I'm a prisoner trapped in life
I am the loser in the game I play
I am the garbage that I throw away
I'm alone in the place I stay
And I can't understand why I can't get in and I can't get out

The closer I get the farther away you feel
The closer you get the farther away I feel
The closer I get the farther away you feel
The closer you get the farther away I feel
I can't get close, I can't get close, I can't, I can't get it
I can't get close to you

I've got thrown in a hole
Down and away, down, down, down, down and away
Down and away, away, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
down, down, down
Away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and away
Down, down, down and away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away,
away, away, away, away, away
