I am the water you breathe I am the air that you drink I am the concept you feel The emotion you think I am the image you hear I am the song you can see I'm every thing that you are And all you hope you can be I am the gently rolling stone on down the mountain and I'm headed for you-- I am the truth you deny I am the fate you can't flee I am the all-seeing eye but you will never see me I am the gently raining fire from the heavens, and I'm headed for you Believe every word that I say 'cause they're all true I am the bridge you can't burn I am the cross you can bear I am the friend who won't turn I am the shame you won't wear I couldn't let the world descend into damnation, no not even you Believe every word that I say 'cause they're all true

It Ain't Me 03:39
It Ain't Me It sounds like somebody's screaming It sounds like somebody's crying It sounds like somebody's freezing It sounds like somebody's dying But I don't care No, I don't care As long as it ain't me As long as it ain't me Got the world on your shoulders It's got you down on your knees And you will only grow older And feel your troubles increase But I don't care No, I don't care As long as it ain't me And when I'm hurt I'm as cold as a dead man's heart But you won't watch me fall apart In the eyes of the ones who wish me dead They can't afford the price upon my head I see your tired and your hungry I see their hurt and their need I know I'm walking among the Downhearted, sad and diseased But I don't care No, I don't care As long as it ain't me Somebody tell me I'm dreaming Somebody tell me they're lying Somebody stop me from breathing I'll never stop you from trying 'Cause I don't care No, I don't care As long as it ain't me This heart of stone, will it serve me well When I burn in Hell, oh no This heart of stone, will it serve me well When I burn in Hell, oh no

I lie here pretending I'm something I'm not Like I have self control that you know I ain't got Like I'm not as hopeless As you always thought Well I lie here and try to convince you I'm clean And I know that to do this is evil and mean I'm no different Than the tragedy you've always seen 'Cause the elephant in the room Is the bottle in my bag My whole life smells like the circus And still you can't see the red flags I once was the strongman now walking the tight rope in drag 'Cause I drank more whiskey than water today I drank more whiskey than water today You loath me, my love 'cause I'm lying to get you to stay When I promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday Promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday This Garden is empty, the moon has gone dark Not a sound in this wilderness, except for my heart And it's pounding Like it's gonna explode Well this life never was such a walk in the park Endless journey and I didn't ask to embark So I stumble Along some strange Roman Road And I use Any medicine I lay my hands on Then I disappear Along with any ground I had to stand on So I fear When I fall I'll have nothing to land on Come on, fall into Nothing with me And we'll drink more whiskey than water today We'll drink more whiskey than water today I'm lying, my love 'cause I need you and want you to stay When I promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday Promise you I'll drink more water than whiskey someday Come on and fall into Nothing with me

Violent Love 03:29
Violent Love Johnny loves Jessie and he don't know why All he wants to do is try to make her cry tonight Jessie's such a pretty girl but always sad Because Johnny's just a pretty boy who treats her bad at night He's headed downtown to pick him up some waitress Nail her to his mattress, Jessie's gonna hate this night She can't say nothing 'cause she's been told Another fuckin word her ass is out in the cold tonight Two black eyes means he told her twice But still she sits and cries C: It's never enough You know my heart likes it rough I understand this ain't love But I just, I just can't give you up And even though you break my back I'm always gonna take you back When I need another heart attack, Give me another heart attack I can't get enough of your violent love, Can't get enough of your violent love Can't get enough of your violent love... I was slinging whiskey at a bar downtown To a crowd of broken strangers just trying to drown their minds When in walks Johnny with his head held high Just looking to see what his ravenous eye could find I caught his eye, he took me in I fell in love, he played to win Before the night was old my ass was out in the cold again And still at night sometimes I cry I just can't say goodbye
