You are a parasite Weak minded Motherfucker Instigator Never gonna see another one like you Think you gotta Silver tongue You’re running from Things you’ve done Never gonna see another one like you Crawling, falling Naval and the knife’s edge Twisting, turning The skull inside your head Spewing, chewing The mind of the cannibals Learning, burning Break your own rule

Forsaken. Awaken. A kaleidoscopic mind Frozen. Chosen. The paranoia mind Memory. It’s in me. Sickness of the mind I don’t need the comfort Of days gone by I don’t need this feeling Don’t want you to try Hearing. The searing. Nothing left to find. Haunting. You’re wanting. Nothing to decide. Seeing. So freezing. Nothing left to hide. I don’t need the comfort Of days gone by I don’t need this feeling Don’t want you to try

It’s the want that claims a life It’s the want that makes it right It’s the want inside the skin It’s wanting a place in time, deceiving on the low line It’s the want calling you It’s the want that gives the truth It’s the want that patience gives It’s wanting a place in time, deceiving on the low line Seek not, want not It’s a lie Seek not, want not Still it tries It’s the whisper in the ear It’s the cure for all the fear It’s the shock to your mind It’s wanting a place in time, deceiving on the low line It’s the want calling you It’s the want that gives the truth It’s the want that patience gives It’s wanting a place in time, deceiving on the low line Seek not, want not It’s a lie Seek not, want not Still it tries

Wants to be seen Eyes in the light are on me Says, “Now come here.” Falls in my hands, now it’s near The only known Wanted below Killing the time on our… Killing the time on our own Infect the mind Wanting to drown it this time Says, “Now come here.” Falls in my hands, now it’s near The only known Wanted below Killing the time on our… Killing the time on our own Just needed you one more time Just needs to be in your mind The only known Wanted below Killing the time on our… Killing the time on our own

Fix It 02:44
You got something that I want, so fix it You got everything I’ve seen, so fix it When I open up and bleed, now, fix it Gimmie everything I need now, and fix it I don’t wanna be here, finding out I’m left behind I can’t find a way out, so find it out for me now I don’t wanna be here, finding out I’m left behind I can’t find a way out, so FIX IT for me now You say I just ain’t living right, so fix it You say that living is a lie, so fix it You say I’m living just to die, so fix it Living suits me just fine when you fix it I don’t wanna be here, finding out I’m left behind I can’t find a way out, so find it out for me now I don’t wanna be here, finding out I’m left behind I can’t find a way out, so FIX IT for me now

The Lurker 02:30
See you walk by tonight See something that I like Losing all will to fight Feel my mind turn so slowly Can’t see, then don’t mind Free now to decide Keep my thoughts inside Feel my heart burn so slowly Creep in closer now Breaking my own vows Can’t see past my brow Feel my mind turn so slowly Feel my heart burn so slowly Dying and yearning for you Nothing left to say, to make it go away Nothing left to do, to keep it safe for you When I try to fight, nothing’s ever right Nothing left inside See you walk by tonight See something that I like Losing all will to fight Feel my mind turning Feel my heart burning Dying and yearning for you

The sleepy eye will never lie Sees things left to night The sleepy eye will never die Sees things left to find Realize the sleepy eye Deep inside our lives When we find the sleepy eye Leave no trace of light

Freaking Out 01:51
Faking that you feel right Making like you’re doing right Seeing through your broken mind Seeing through your false life I don’t know why you’ve gotta claim that you’re falling I don’t know why, but you say that you’re gonna I don’t know why you’ve gotta claim that you’re falling I don’t know why, but you say that you’re gonna… Do it right Saying that you know right Say you’re gonna unwind Seeing through your broke mind Seeing through your false life I don’t know why you’ve gotta claim that you’re falling I don’t know why, but you say that you’re gonna I don’t know why you’ve gotta claim that you’re falling I don’t know why, but you say that you’re gonna… Do it right Faking that you feel right Making that you’re doing right Seeing through your broken mind Seeing through your false life

Flesh Wound 05:04
We live down from by hillside Waiting for a sign Sun ain’t blinding our sight As we’re waiting for the night We don’t mind our blighted day We have found another way Feel no pain and feel no shame Maybe in our minds We won’t watch them reach the sky Waiting for the day to arrive Need no enlightened peak to climb We can wait ‘til the day we die Old ones steady rolling Biding all their time Forgetting what they’re holding Waiting for their sign We don’t mind our blighted day We have found another way Feel no pain and feel no shame Maybe in our minds We won’t watch them reach the sky Waiting for the day to arrive Need no enlightened peak to climb We can wait ‘til the day we die
