I've done so many drugs that I can't see And the air is feeling thick like mercury And I try, oh I try Like drop of rain kissing desert sand and they say No man's a stone…in the unknown The door is breathing, right out of its frame These drugs they play such mind games Walls start melting, Devil's carrying a cross Gonna keep on fucking up ourselves ‘til the wheels come off And I'm fried, so fried Win and lose it all in a bathroom stall and they say No man's a stone…in the unknown Feeling like I just had dinner with God Picked a fight, proved her right, then flipped her off! Yeah! And I try, oh I try Like drop of rain kissing desert sand and they say No man's a stone But you know I'll climb up that hill Just to fall back again cause they say No man's a stone...No! No man's a stone…No Nooo! No man's a stone…in the unknown

How can you lie to my face Without any trace of regret or remorse? Lead me on ‘til I can’t even think No I won’t drink from the mouth of your gift horse! You know we’re through and there’s not a goddamn thing you can do… I’m leaving you! I’m leaving you! Oh I’m leaving you! I’m leaving you! Different places but it’s always the same I can see your game and ya know that you’re gonna lose Take our fighting out to the street Girl you love a scene cuz drama is all you choose! It’s all you choose! You know we’re through and there’s not a goddamn thing you can do… I’m leaving you! I’m leaving you! Oh I’m leaving you! I’m leaving you! UGH!!! Bye bye now baby Bye bye - bye bye - bye bye - bye bye bye bye bye bye Claim you’re full of love and support But when it falls short, your motives seem to unfold Then ya show up from out of the cold, truth is told. Yeah my blood-runs-hot! But this shit’s-getting-old! Shit’s getting old! You know we’re through and there’s not a goddamn thing you can do… I’m leaving you! I’M LEAVING YOU!!! You know we’re through and there’s not a goddamn thing you can do… OWWWW!!!

Clouds 04:35
You know heaven’s just above the clouds And I can't hear a single sound The air so thin and cool that it burns You know heavens just above the clouds And if you say your blessings out loud It could be the gift you can't return If you feel you never really learned And I am divorcing my body don't stop. Me. Now. And I am endorsing your choice in our sacred vows. Sacred vows Too much rides on today I just wanna float away Can I slip right into the blue, with you? I'll block out all the sun An’ spoil all your fun Laugh so thunder is my cries Then the rain falls a lullaby And I am divorcing my body don't stop. Me. Now. And I am endorsing your choice in our sacred vows. And I am divorcing my body don't stop. Me. Now. And keep my head up in the Clouds. If you want to, we’ll go. If you need to we’ll go. If you want to, if you want to, if you want to, we’ll go If you want to, we’ll go. If you need to we’ll go. If you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you wanna go!

3 Strikes 03:45
Don’t even pretend that you wanna be my friend. You’ve got all that you want My heart, my mind, all wrapped in vines of my nerves...once again. You get 3 strikes, why’o’why can’t you seem to comprehend? To comprehend From the bars of my cage I whistle my rage But all that comes out is this song. Your bluebird flies into the night alone...once again You get three strikes, why’o’why can’t you seem to comprehend? Ooooo To comprehend! But don’t worry now, I got the thickest hide. A man lost at sea, stays afloat on his pride. Smile and move on, it’s what you do best. It’s 3 strikes your out with the rest…Oooooo You won’t let me sleep, you won’t let me dream. Awake, I pace on the floor...Again Awake, I don’t wanna feel anymore! With my heart, my mind, all wrapped in vines of my nerves...once again You get 3 strikes, why’o’why and that’s more than you deserve.

Lost Dogs 05:17
Careful what you say Mo’ careful what you do One these lil ole days Lawd, it’s coming to back to you It's high time these low lifes, get on they knees Is it the cause or effect? Must inspect yo’ disease. Living, giving all part of the plan It's your time to show are you a beast or a man please understand, please understand. Lost dogs! Stay strong! Your day in the sun! Has yet to come! …And you’ve won Said Papa may have, Mama may have too But God bless the chile, who shares when he's got two Brothers, sisters, must stand the line Shoulder to shoulder we all march in time One blood, one soul, one race behind the beat One life, live it or the maker you’ll meet Living, giving all part of the plan It's your time to show are you a beast or a man please understand, please understand! Lost dogs! Stay strong! Your day in the sun! And you’ve won - and you’ve won - and you’ve… Scratchin’ and sniffin’ at poles, when the wind blows Please let me in to your house from the cold Genetically colored from different mothers, Take your hands off of the throat of your brother Under the skin we’re the same but yet I'm to blame For putting on your shackles and...Take Them Off Me! Lost dogs! Stay strong! Your day in the sun! And you’ve won - and you’ve won - and you’ve WON!!! Let’s have some fun. Put down your guns. And you’ve won - and you’ve won - and you’ve WON!!!

Isolation-19 04:36
Open my eyes, So grey the sky No “We” just “I” in Isolation The virus moves, on Satan’s hooves Nothing can soothe this Isolation So sweet the days, now gone away Yet here to stay is Isolation Lost track of time, no reason rhymes You’ll lose your mind in Isolation …And beautiful silence, you once did say But now the brightest gold still dulls to grey And I’m locked inside my head Cause they’re leaving us for dead in… Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Drag dirty feet, down empty streets Nothing tastes sweet, only sour creations We bathe in cream in my daydreams And then I scream awake to Isolation Why change my shirt? I am the dirt This nothing hurts, only social castration You start to cry, ask “Why lord why?” The answer lies in Isolation …And beautiful silence, you once did say But now the brightest gold still dulls to grey And I’m locked inside my head Cause they’re leaving us for dead in… Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Never thought I'd live see the day after I went blind And all the relics of my life before float softly through my mind And if I had a chance to do it any different would I find A god who loves me more than I deserve but now I... Open my eyes, So grey the sky No “We” just “I” in Isolation Lost track of time, no reason rhymes You’ll lose your mind in Isolation …And beautiful silence, you once did say But now the brightest gold still dulls to grey Ooooo I’m locked inside my head Cause they’re leaving us for dead in… Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen Isolation, Isolation Nine-Teen

You may be lonely Down on your knees But you better stay home With your disease Cuz there's one thing that I need And I want you to understand Wash them hands Wash them hands Wash them hands Newsman he told me Stay home and stay clean But it's just your emotions not love or devotion That keep you coming back to me. Cuz there's one thing that I need And I want you to understand Wash them hands Wash them hands Wash them hands You say it's a hoax, as far as you can tell Just show me the note that your doctor wrote And scrub yourself with Purell Ya’ say whole world's in on it Yeah story checks out with me, Just get off that YouTube baby And get yourself on some good hygiene. Now you may be horny Almost certainly But it's for your own health Just play with yourself and repeat after me... Oh there's one thing that I need And I want you to understand Wash them hands (Wash them hands) Wash them hands (Wash them hands) Wash them hands (Wash them hands)
