Coal Chamber


Loco
pull - steamroller rollin' through
my head said attached to loco
power up coal through the system
out to the right said you're in my
light - lock down the generator on
man screw down use the system
use the main plan full power up to
the point man don't f**k with me
loco
lock down here latch the generator
on screw the system
full power hit the main plan


Bradley
try to remember
try to forget
try to remember
look back try to remember
that name sounds so familiar
sue, these letters are driving me crazy
they're driving me so f**king crazy
they're making me so angry
bradley, to remember
bradley, so familiar
one more year do something
make something from nothing
sue, these letters are driving me crazy
they're driving me so f**king crazy
they're making me so angry
mom, these letters at christmas
are driving me crazy
i must be crazy - why?
don't get it, i'm crazy - why?
tried to remember what you said
sounds so familiar what you said
my life is mine, it's mine
i'm gonna take it back
my life it's mine, it's mine
i want it back


Oddity
this is the way it's got to be...
crawl beneath this filthy ground
and underneath this dirty ground
i crawl beneath this filthy ground
and underneath these dirty leaves
seems to me to be the insanity
it seems to me i've become the oddity
it seems to me i need some identity
seems to me i've become the oddity
keep this high now keep this high
said i better
keep this high now keep this high
said i better
keep this high now keep this high
said i better
keep this high now keep this high
this is the way it's got to be... 
no fear, so depraved, break


Unspoiled
always cold inside this glass
trust it's hard, i know this trust will never last
it's never been much of my concern
i've grown in size again, still fine?
sleep it all away, just another day
always me in the corner this way
it's never been much of your concern
you've grown inside again, still fine?
do i look fine to you?
do i seem alright to you?
do i look fine?
do i seem alright - to you?
stay - unspoiled
so spoiled you leave cleaner by day
exposed and lonely forever on display
it's never been much of our concern
we fell apart again, kill time


Big Truck
too small, too small don't compromise
so have fast, too fast don't realize
have hand on wheel, set the sights, drive with me
too fast, too fast don't realize
so have fast, too fast don't recognize
have hand on wheel, set the sights, drive with me
moving - motion
said move, said move it
somebody better come and drive me
big truck
ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
ain't no grave gonna hold, hold my body, hold my body
big truck, come on


Sway
the roof the roof the roof is on fire
we don't need no water let the motherf**ker burn
burn motherf**ker burn
burn, burn, burn, burn
just a little and nothing now it's over
just a little and nothing now it's over
what you said, no,
you're never gonna say again
in your own special way you tear me down
sway - so hypnotic
neither up nor down,
just been turned and turned
it just sits inside so it burns and burns
if i can't decide what makes you hurt
in your own special way you tear me down
so ask me please, please
give me something good, now
something
give me something good, now
give me
come sway this way


First
if someone should ask you then say
that he fell away
from what he wanted at first
from what he wanted at first
from what he wanted
if someone should ask you then say
that they fell away
from what they wanted at first
from what they wanted at first
from what they wanted
as he fell away, as she fell away
he won't come out and play music anymore
if someone should ask you then say
that she fell away
from what she wanted at first
from what she wanted at first
from what she wanted
try - tried i couldn't kick it
i'm taking mine, i'm taking mine now
no, if someone should ask you then say
he sleeps all day
that he feels he's gone, son
and always will be betrayed
try, tried i couldn't kick it, no
i'm taking mine
try - tried i couldn't kick 
as she - as she


I
let down through the breakthrough
i travel as i hunger for the darkness below me
when i'm praying for the light above
to save this soul inside me
should i? would i? could i?
outcast from my own kind never knowing
soaring through my own mind never knowing
how could they live with what their doing
twist of my spine
oh god f**k
i don't get it
breathe with me
just breathe with me
it's up to me as i hunger
lay slow and still as i wonder
pray for darkness down in this hollow
but i try to grope
it's up to me as i sleep again
my body lays down as i holler
it's all inside but i confess in me
i like me


Clock
clock tick tick tick, tick tock, tick tock
wicked mind you hold the hour
but my mind it holds the power
clock tick tick tick
where did the time go?
what do i have to show?
watching the time fly (go by)
watching the time fly
clock - it counts my fears
my time goes by so slow
my clock goes by so slow
come closer you can do better
you can do better than me
it counts my fears


My Frustration
where was i when god had shown
how to make a happy home
lie in bed and sleep don't come
have some peace then give me some
and i know the reason why you hold me down
i won't let this fear of loss make me drown
in my bed i lie alone
scrape together bone to bone
and i can't seem to seem to find my way
i can't seem to find the break of day
i'll stay just a step away
where was i when god had shown
how to make a happy home
and i have become my worst enemy 
i will survive this instability
in my bed i lie alone
scrape together bone to bone
again i have become my worst enemy
i will survive this instability
i need to breathe the breath of life
you constantly drain my life
why can't you see the breath in me
i constantly need your need
my butterfy don't fly away
if i could just take this simple breath of life from me
you couldn't take it motherf**ker eternity
if i could take this breath of life and come inside of me
you wouldn't take it, i need to breathe
as i creep the monkey's back
now she's gone and oh he's back
and i know the reason why you hold me down
i won't let this fear of loss make me drown
i will stay, i'll stay
i will stay, i'll stay


Dreamtime
something in my mind keeps me satisfied
shoved aside, pushed to the wayside
if you lead, i will follow you
vague memories in my mind they hide
shoved aside to get thrown by the wayside
if you lead, i will follow you
dreamtime comes quick when broken
keep me satisfied so help me
so long i prayed for dreamtime, so help me
and it's inside of you my friend
who'll save me, who will?
it's all inside of you, dreamtime


Pig
lost and lonely
your colors surrounding me
it's only my way to breakn' free
in my mind i hear the souee
don't you see i'm set free
i'm set gone gone free
lost and lonely
you make your way through this day
preceding your way after way i hate
in my mind i here the souee
souee here pig pig pig pig
murderer, terror, killer, terror
filthy, i'm filthy
i'm filthy swine and i'm filthy
don't read the writing
well come up and you will see

You! Burgundy Did you say make it rain for you I'd make it storm with a wind like you've never seen before So sick I couldn't cure your sores I built a snowman for you And watched it melt all summer long in front of me Endlessly I couldn't cure your sores What have you done for me lately? Did you say move that mountain for you I'd spread the wings of time and make it all but crumble away today If we could watch it together decay And when you said to enlighten me I thought I had and now that you understand One hand washes the other there's nothing more to discover What have you done for me lately? Tell me What have you done for me lately? Tell me Entwined Could we please shut our mouths for awhile For only just awhile I could take it You have made me alright complete again Always willing to break down my will again I intend to render my sensibilities have all gone mad You tend to talk about the better things Then let's move on to better things I'm using all my sensibilities Would you please assume that face The one that you make at me And if we could make love for awhile For only just awhile god I need it I need it You have made me alright complete again Always willing to break down my will again I intend to render my sensibilities have all gone wild You tend to talk about the etter things Then let's move on to etter things I'm using all my sensibilities If we could get caught in the moment Get caught in the moment Our senses run dry If we could... She rides If we could get caught in the moment Get caught in the moment Our senses run dry Feed My Dreams Time is a canvas and I will paint it And with you I bestow what I have it And you are my colors and you are my colors And you are my paint to make my life Feed my dreams some more Come feed my dreams You are the clay that molds my life and I spin you around and you see it through You are the one that I mold into and I mold into and you're everything Feed my dreams some more Come feed my dreams You can't lie before I you shunned Wild and you lied I am whole again inside you Feed my dreams some more Come feed my dreams You are the fabric that moves my life and the wool that keeps me together inside and you stitch me cause you you walk me through and I am yours and there's nothing before you Feed my dreams some more Come feed my dreams Feed my dreams some more So much inside you I can't tell inside you inside you I'm glad there's so much inside you Inside you inside you I'm not asleep No Mercy When I die I'll die with my mercy When she cries I'll cry with her In my life see I've loved an angel My Mercy My Mercy Such a glance the softest of skin Wax dripping so paper thin Remember oils positions of plenty Well this memory how it still haunts me We arelove we are love When I die I'll die with my mercy And when she cries I'll cry with her And in my life see I've loved an angel My mercy eternal to me We are love we are made of many We are two we are made of few You've taken my life and left me to blame You'll never understand the shame I would die for my mercy can't you see Eternally eternally We are love we are made of many We are two we are made of few We are made of few No Home No home This is not any form of home Home is where the heart is No home no heart No home no heart This is your viewing room Your room no view Nothing seen nothing heard Your home no heart Shutup I'll kick you out shutup I'll do you in This is your trap your crap This is not my thing No soul no heart No home no heart Shutup I'll kick you out shutup I'll do you in Old wounds heal slowly they grow in to mold me Home Can (I didn't know what it means) you (I've just lived here for so long) trust me (and I can't leave now I can't leave) Can you trust me? (I can't leave you) Can you trust me? (No I can't leave you) I've lived here for so long and it's been my way It's always been the way to be like myself Now you want me to change Can you trust me anymore? I can't change for you I can't change I can't change for you Can we just be enemies? I've lived here for so long I won't change So long sometimes Can we just be enemies? Old wounds heal slowly they grow in to mold me... Shutup I'll kick you out shutup I'll do you in Shari Vegas That guilt you've denied will only defeat you So stay clean for me cause that's what you should do That gaze in your eyes remember when you died Etch that memory for the next sunrise So pleased to meet you Shari I've come clean change the scenery I've come clean Shair Vegas Lackluster love affair has left you so jaded Those rings around your eyes they make you look faded Come say to me that you'll live one more day For that my friend for that I will pray So pleased to meet you Shari I've come clean change the scenery I've come clean Shari Vegas What's worth keeping you'll receive Exit only let them see What's worth keeping you'll receive Exit only always let them let them see So pleased to meet you Shari I've come clean change the scenery I've come clean Shari Vegas Notion There it goes it goes with her It never leaves so easily There it goes it goes with him It never leaves so easily And thoughts come And thoughts go Tear people apart who don't know It's just a notion that comes to me Here it comes it comes to her It doesn't come so easily Here it comes it comes with him It doesn't come so easily And thoughts come And thoughts go Tear people apart who don't know It's just a notion that comes to me... Anything But You Sweetened possessive farce Our saints become sparse And it's an option to be transparent So in your soul that it's inherent Now that you've found your wings (you want to fly) Now that I've done those things (you've said goodbye) It would be ample if only you'd trample What you could not choke in life Choke choke choke choke Now that you've sold your soul What was the human toll And oh your sacrifice (your sacrifice) And oh what my vice (you were) And it would be ample if only you'd trample What you could not choke in life Choke choke choke choke I could be anyone I could be anything except for you Except for you Anything except for you No, it had to be a lie it didn't rain twice The clouds over my head but I'm not dead yet I could be anyone I could be anything except for you Except for except for except for...




Dark Days
