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.

Turned On...
LONELY

I hate the world that I think hates me
Punch holes in the wall you know that hurts me
Feel dark and cold alone it burns me
Wish someone would come and touch me
Walkin' alone in the prison yard
Seein' eyes that seem to see me so hard
Crawlin' like a snake right back in to my room
Feelin' like a dead man rolling around in my tomb
There's nothin' like findin' someone when you're lonely
Makes you wanna feel so all alone
There's nothin like finding someone when you're lonely
Makes you feel so...
Walk in to a crowded room I start to freeze
Words fall short now turns to what it's time to leave
Never happy, never sad, I can face
Can't stop lookin' I keep walkin' from place to place
There's nothin like finding someone when you're lonely
Makes you wanna be so all alone
There's nothin' like finding someone when you're lonely
Makes you feel so...
Aww, yeah!
Hear no sounds they seem to keep me sane
Knife in eyes and point me at my prey
Reachin' out of my soul it's senseless
Reachin' out of my mind it's useless
I feel the mute frustration when I see your eyes
Mute is a way but Isolation iyt hurts to try
I reach out my hand - it turns to stone
I get up, walk out the door, I'm better off alone


DO IT

Don't think about it - Do it
Don't talk about it - Do it
Do it, do it
Don't lie about it - Do it
Do it, do it
Talk about your sick man, so good you got to do it, do it
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't lie about it - Do it
Why give a fuck about it, man - Do it, do it
There's a law, but who cares - Do it, do it
Don't rip me off, man, just do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't talk about it- Do it, do it
Don't lie about it - Do it, do it
Don't cover it with a lie, man - Do it , do it
Just do it, just do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it


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


TEARING (ME APART)

The way you look at me is tearing me apart
And the way I let you feel is tearing me apart
I think as we do it, do it to eachother, it's tearing us apart
Look at you and me - tearing eachother apart
I don't mean to do it, you don't mean to do it
So we better stop it now, because we're tearing eachother apart

Tearing me apart
Tearing you apart
Tearing us apart

It's hard to be alone, but it's harder to be with you
But you know that I'm a liar, a liar with your pants on fire,
Tearing you apart
Slam down the phone right in your face, tearing myself apart
So close, too close, not close enough
Tearing eachother apart
When I see you I wanna tell you but then I lose the words
And it tears me apart

Better walk away, better walk away, better walk away
Before you cry away
Well I've got a hole inside and I keep it deep inside
Deep inside and in there I'm gonna hide
I've gotta get away to see if I'm okay
I've gotta get away to see if I'm okay
Sometimes things don't work out, sometimes things don't work out
Sometimes things don't work out, sometimes things don't work out
And it tears me apart


OUT THERE

Walkin' shattered, confused, disturbed and alone
Feeling like someone just ripped your heart out and replaced it with a stone
Wandering as somewhere someone out there feels like you do
Open your eyes to realize that the only one holding on to you is you

When you're out there, you're out there
When you're out there, out there, out there, out there, Ohhhhh
I've been out there

When you're sitting in your room, lights out, door locked listening to the air
Phone starts ringin' you uplook it, dosen't matter who it is, you don't care
Wonderin' why life can fill you with so much pain
And sometimes all you wanna do is crawl away and die
Feelin' so carved out and hollow that you don't even have a tear
They left you cryin'

Lost, lost in the crowd, lost in my room alone
Lost in your eyes, lost in your arms
Lost in my-self, I don't know -
Where I went
I got lost, just like:
hated, alienated, thrown down, turned away, turned inside
solitary confinement turns to solitary refinement
I found myself alone
Mmmmmmm, so alone
Reachin' out I can't touch - I open my eyes, I can't see
Putting my feet out on the ground I feel I'm falling
Ohhhhhh, out there, I'm out there, out there, so cold, so cold, so cold

Out there, I'm out there, I'm out there, I'm out there
Out there, I'm out there, I'm out there, I'm out there
Out there, I'm out there, I'm out there, I'm out there
Ohhhhh...

So cold, so cold, co cold, so cold
When I'm out there, when you're ou there, when I'm out there...


YOU DIDN'T NEED

(The last person you blame is yourself and you feel like a victim and it feels
great to be put upon by love.)

You turned me and you put me out
You put me in and you locked me out
The way you feel is gonna cross me back
You didn't see that I was bleedin'
You looked at me and I saw right through you
You looked away when I spoke right to you

You didn't need to do that to me

When I touched you, did you feel it?
Did you ever feel anything at all?
Do you ever lie awake at night?
Do you ever think of me?
I've got my arms wrapped around myself
You've got your arms around someone else
I'll lie to myself
I'll tell myself I'm not there, down, down, down
I'm not down
Some people are left alone
Some people are left alone

I didn't want it but I get it anyway
I didn't want it but I couldn't get away
I can't deny it, I miss you
Even though it hurts inside
When I breathe I kiss you
I keep on lyin', lyin'

You didn't need to do that to me

I lock my brain tryin' to remember
I lock my brain tryin' to dismember
Anything I did to you
Every thought I taxed for you
I'm sorry I still feel this pain inside
You punctured my face like a scar
It's simple, I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide, No!

Some people have been left alone
Some people are let alone
It hurts so much when you've got nothing to say
It hurts so much to have to walk away
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away


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, the iron mind
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
Oh yeah!
I'm goin' over not gettin' back
Hard sense makes a point
Oh yeah! Hey!
No one stops the rock around this ranch, boy, yeah!
Real pain is what I reach for
The real thing is what I came for
I am - because I'm hard
I will - because I am hard


FOLLOWED AROUND

I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again

Finding myself in all the dark places
Can't see their eyes, can't make out their faces
Feeling like the only one talking on the telephone line
Tried so hard but I still can't lose my mind

I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again

Self-doubt, put your hands on my shoulder
................ only gets colder
And while you're standing here you're gettin' older
And if you're looking for the end of my eyes,
come and make them ...., it's right on the corner

I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again
Lookin in their eyes I see the one I despise, around and around again
Lookin in their eyes I see the one I despise, around and around again

I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again

Yeah!

I'm being followed around again, around and around again
I'm being followed around again, around and around again


MASK

It becomes hard to face
It becomes hard to see the face
The face that sees you without flinching
The face that you put on when you're all by yourself
I wear a mask, I wear a mask
The mask is intact
You see no cracks on the outside
I'm smooth, expressionless
You can't read me
Behind the mask I die over and over
I scream from behind the mask
Now the mask is cracking
My truth comes out, my mask falls to the floor
I see the face that I got
I see myself, ugly, so ugly, it's ugly


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


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
Break 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
freak, freak, freak, freak
Get up get up, get up, get 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
