Seeing Red I'm seeing red It helps me see things straight I'm doing everything For the purpose of improvement Don't ask me why Cuz it don't faze me one iota I'm the alpha and omega The beginning and the end It's just the warm up for the work ahead Food for my mind, emotionally seared Beckons as big as an atomic-bomb Wipe off my cosmetic tears I'm seeing red I open my eyes It roots me to the spot So young at heart Independant in thought and mind Test my nerves I'm doing this for kicks And it gives me everything That is here for me to find Don't ask me when I began to hate Cuz I don't recall a time I didn't Am I the only one of my kind? No!!!? And who is not a parasite? Can you name me just one? I see your eyes and I know for a fact I'm not your only son 2. Say It In Slugs Take your hands out of your pockets Don't walk until green Call it penance, call it shock You just lost your esteem You know it's ironic If it went down today Phoney faces just don't care But today they might have something to say I remember tomorrow as if it was yesterday And I say it in slugs I'm not convinced it's the only way How tiny bits and pieces of words/works Somehow end up in hugs Some say it in slugs I killed my best friend with a hammer Now I'm in stitches He became one of the icons around I was left with an itch I woke up on the wrong side of my bed I'm just a little keen I have to sleep there dead on that spot Or else I won't be able to dream I remember tomorrow as if it was yesterday... Some say it in slugs 3. Won't Back Down It's time to put it straight I dislike the way you act I said Hey!!! Get off my back End of discussion You're not getting used None will give you sympathy If you deal with self abuse Ever thought about getting a Life? Sick of hearing your lies You burn down my fuse When it's me it's a mistake For you there's always an excuse Stick to the truth or please shut the fuck up Qualified bullshit that never seems to stop Try someone else I won't fall for no lies Get a life Throw it in my face, cut the bullshit You sit around and bite your fingertips A bunch of parasites with covered up tracks Get off my back 4. Insanity's Contagious My brain sometimes intends to walk away Somehow my hat seems to hold it together But if I feel like slipping away for a bit All I have to do is take my hat off I'm tired of hating And feeling down My ears they're bleeding And I'm getting old I wanna live Live in the town Where everybody is young and no-one has died Last night I dreamt about throwing up worms And my big black cat turned into a crippled rat Insanity's contagious So am I Got plugs in my ears To keep my thoughts within I wanna live Live in a town Where everybody is young and no-one has died Insanity's contagious In a town Where everybody is young and no-one has died 5. Something Out Of Nothing Head bowed in silence Scarcely sane in mind Strung out, internal violence Confusion fills my time Stare back at my face, neurotic eyes Joy and despair collides It's eating me up from the inside Don't look back Remember yesterday, no way Going through the cast Turning insane by their games Stare at my world with psychotic eyes The demons in me unite I hear them laughing in the rain Chanting out my name The echoes turn into flames Voices, noices, disordered, sore WAR 6. Scottish Hell [dead horse cover] Satan kissed my dog Cracked his moral shell Possessed to wear the kilt In his Scottish hell I touched your lips your eyes fell out On to the floor behind the door I picked them up and washed them off And taped them back upon your face 7. Time Out Most deals don't need deliberation That's what I thought You sung in a language That I don't really know And didn't dare to get tought He who said there's gold around the corner Is all too right to be wrong But somehow I feel that I've been cheated All along in this song And you just dumped me In your neighbours garbage can Could it be so hard to understand? Most deals don't need conclusion Yeah, right You're real good at looking out For things like your own back And you just dumped me In your neighbours garbage can I guess I'll never learn to understand Last time it didn't turn out the way I wanted This time it turned out to be something good Better grab my money in time to invest it Cuz the market round here Ain't really as it should It's far more universal To become an astronaut I scream my lungs out I'm not too sure of what you're all about Time out 8. The Itch It keeps me awake, it grows in my head My body aches, my feelings are dead I turn my eyes inside out Gaze into the hell I created, Burned-Out! Lost everything I had, for a word My own presence makes me disturbed I've put myself in a state I can't portray I scream coz there's nothing left For me to say Stare myself blind on words I cannot see Deep inside I feel it's all so real, to steal Once I had it all, inside my head Now it's all gone, my views are spread Search for solutions, for peace of mind Feels like I slip away There's an itch under my skin Need to get it out before I turn insane Day and night in hell I spend Need to figure me out before my sanity ends Need to get it out, The Itch Need to get it out, The Itch I turn my eyes inside out Gaze into the hell I created, Burned-Out! Once I had it all, inside my head Now it's all gone, my views are spread I've put myself in a state I can't portray I scream coz there's nothing left For me to say 9. Year In Year Out Is that a strain Or a delicate smile Built to proportion? It might as well have been you And all the things you do Somedays I'm waiting For my pulse to calm down Into the low hundreds I shake the shirt loose off my back Day and night, year in year out I discovered my sweet dreams Of corruption deep inside myself I should have stood in carny Or end up preserved upon your shelf Day and night, year in year out Will you ever understand That I'm only an object Day and night year in year out I'm just trying to be the subject Where others see the abstract I only see the truth And that has always been To repeat my youth 10. Returning To Madness I look about 27 And that I haven't slept well I bang my head to sleep With a bottle of bourbon-hell I'm a character living In a world gone wrong Don't act so stingy about it We're all in this song Put on the face you use as a disguise I can see it in your eyes The kick you get from your own lies I'm a man you can't kid And a man you can't trust I promote a lifestyle You can't really live Returning to madness Lose my old skin 11. Come Clean All the time I think "This is the last time" I can't have it any other way I force these words onto paper Thought I had something more to say 'Scuse me But I have to make myself up I'm plastic Unreal Maybe a bit surreal If I'd closed strong Would I have dug the show My intention is not to look for an answer It's just my ideas that are running low No thanks You see Don't need no sympathy Too right Been used At least it's an excuse There was a time when I was heard Now you don't even return my calls No-one would like to live without friends Even if he possessed it all 12. In The Flesh Carrying a heard the size of my head Got an angel on my back The leftovers of my face Is a leaden mask of death Drink my coffee black I sing with a voice full of scorn Behind my bony mask of face They call me the one with horns But at the end of the day, I'm just torn I don't think about things too much Sunken temples, sleeky smile I've been in the scene for much to long To not be vile I'm scared stiff about the fact That someday I'll slack Led astray in a world I once knew Used to be king now considered a fool I admire your burnt skin But is your flesh rotten right through? Alive among the lifeless In a close-minded world Where no-one is true 13.
