Strung Out

Lyrics to Population Control :
i kneel to you when you preach to me / you're my god you're my tv you control what i say you control what i hear you control what i see my whole existence revolves around this cable to my mind. it's thought parole, population control / it's slavery of mankind. under their control! and you're loving their control! don't question the forces that govern your miserable life. don't seek out the answers that void your empty life. 'cause this melancholy vision is just a brief episode in this game called reality. it's somethin' i've been trying so hard to figure out.

Lyrics to Blueprint Of The Fall :
Imagine a place where freedoms just a word on the wall
surrounded by the wreekage of towers that could never fall
the company will avenge
imagine the lies like bombs turn the shock and the awe
for justice in time and a land for justice never was one thief
to rule them all along the Potomac and west toward the sea
through the ghettos past the monuments we all built to house the weak
its the blueprint to the fall of our place in history
the end to what we all believed to be the hope to save this place
and I walk among the flagstones thru the graves
an apocolypse is bloomin' in the sage
dead presidents lined coffin text in biblical unrest
the blind pride home genocide
and the secret wars we all missed
it's the blueprint to the fall of the entire human race
the end to what we all believed would be the hope to save this place

Lyrics to Katatonia :
impoverished and bleedin' hope here somethin' fast receding dead light holocaust
I check this body in tonight cross my heart and hope to die
to never leave this place alive
im burning right in front of you
break myself against you i lay still
your penetrating glances dead stop all my
vain advances to another place where I can truly be myself
respirators kicked on high
life support keeps me alive
to forgive i will never do
one last kiss is all i need from you
ride salvation goin' under
they say they say I wont survive you now
I wish i never knew you
your name is katatonia

Lyrics to Her Name In Blood :
Mother Mary bury me in a place they'll never find
I kill only what I love and what I love was never mine
suffocate you outta me your the darkest of my sins
you're burnin' thru my head don't know where I begin
and where you end your breathless violence
open veins in silence and devotion sacred and devine in this love that makes me[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
it's the hurt that moves me to betray you evertime you pull me near
GIVE IT AWAY GIVE IT AWAY RIDE THIS BITCH TO HELL
And blow a kiss
when you only think of me
hold my hand and fuck away this blankness of expression
and all sorrows in between her name in blood
and her eyes on me her deepest secret lies
in front of me a whisper now is all that remains of me
you're the center of my unholy shrine
scar tissue in time you're all mine
your the last hint of self-control
my last chance just walked out the door
drown out your artery straight thru a love that would never be her name in blood
and her eyes on me her deepest secret lies
in front of me a whisper now is all that remains of me
this sacrament is our punishment
I am the worst part of you
you are the only thing left to burn

Lyrics to Angeldust :
Broken angel you sway helpless thru the desert wind
As your enemies they come to pick your bones
You're an anomaly so graced to be a lie you told in leisurely
A passing fascination with obituary eyes
So long to go
Before these alabaster hands ever let go
Meticulous in ritual you made a science of your pain
Where all your bleeding hearts and hungry minds divide along the way
So in love with all you could not be forever doomed to wonder aimlessly
Never really knowing all the pain you're gonna find
So long to go
Before these alabaster hands ever let go
Swayin' in the California haze
In angel dust we all do blow away

We bleed this love alive
Straight faced to suicide
When all these words mean anything?
What good will come of you and me?
Just growin' old and none the wiser
Fall apart and then your time to fall again get up again and on and on

Wasted breath in blackened lung and shortness of belief
Exercise your demons when you dream
The secrets that you keep inside are all you've ever known
Pay to ride and fuck to die reinvent another you
But that never stops that march right off the cliff in a single file
These angel wings could never take the weight of the fall
A question lost time a tasteless joke a secret smile
To fall apart an' get up again and on again

We bleed this love alive
Straight faced to suicide
When all these words mean anything?
What good will come of you and me?
Just growin' old and none the wiser
Fall apart and then your time to fall again get up again and on and on

Lyrics to Lucifermotorcade :
As above then so below we celebrate the wounds that make us whole
connect the dots,divide the truth,profit from the beasts complexity
new terror new stage new end new race new face economy
program a president the model of the manufactured proof
How did we get to be so hated gather 'round the tube and wonder why
economy,spirituallity,together are void of harmony
create a god and brush the skin with the oil of a bleedin' tanker ship
lifes just a matter of who is willing to deliver the blow that'll strike you down
Crysanthemums and steelly atom bombs arise! And shape the landscape of my heart
and mind...Destruction to this hurting world
How do you want to be judged in the face of your complacency
I already know my times runnin out
So ....burn the flag of every nation state ,flood the palaces with the peoples hate
and all will be one.

Lyrics to Vampires :
Some say in the darkest places, love can grow
This solitary romance we'll never know
Well it's this coffin break I'm staging to the road that leads me back to you
Will be the miracle I gave up everything to only be with you
Can't seem to shake the loneliest curse of all
Eternity with just a memory
I've seen your picture a million times three sixes and a melody of
Singing vice and a varice in tthe chains you chose to be our dress for
My funeral for two a carnival in blue
Can't seem to shake the loneliest curse of all
Eternity spent chasin' waht I shun
All is ghost in memory and poison in the sun
In the sun...na na na they bury us in the sand
na na na together hand in hand
I can't seem to shake the loneliest
Curse of all eternity spent chasing what i was
All is ghost in memory and poison in the sun

Lyrics to No Voice Of Mine :
the wind is shifting, somethings different in the air.
I see it in the form of choices every where
and I've been asleep a lifetime just to wake in time to find...
the voice that has been speaking for me is no voice of mine!
NOW YOU'VE JUST BEEN SPOKEN FOR !
NOW YOU'VE JUST BEEN SOLD !
my eyes fixated on the life I left behind,
a puppet dreams of being human
every time that a string gets pulled before you know, your dancin' to the lie
of someone elses vision of the perfect waisted life.........

its in the way we never seem to get it right !
a systematic form of bowin down and under,
and all we know is what we are, without the faith in WHO WE ARE
soo desperate......

somethin' here has gotta give and my instincts fill me with this dread,
that I've become what I'm tryin' to kill, that my appetite is my free will.........
THERE IS NO RIGHT, THERE IS NO WRONG, THERE IS ONLY THAT IS FOREVER GONE!

Lyrics to Anna Lee :
You hold this place inside my head you're a symphony of hurt
The daylight passes through me To another crippled verse
Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends;
Right back where we started pain dead flowers on the bed
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark we all see what we know
It's the space that scares us so
You lead me to your garden where only dead things dare to grow
You convince me I deserve the thorn you've tried so hard to show
Normalness escapes me to the point of no return
The memories around thi place keep us from movin' on
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark we all see what we know
Its the space that scares us so The endless balmy air we breathe
This city's startin' to get to me tonight
I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here
I find the comfort in the pain I always cause...all night
She says she might wait around for me
To come along with a promise and a dream

Lyrics to Never Speak Again :
This is the alter of my downfall
a symbol of this glorious demise
Well I'm in flames and getting deeper
all contact lost is no surprise
I'm sitting here alone
the silence heavier than me tonight[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
A lost soul found and sold again
A broken stride reborn again
Here among these gilded pages
Now its sanctuaries one last stand

To never have to speak again
To never say your name again
To never tell another lie
to live in the honesty of the eyes

Create your own defence
and keep a secret tight
Tonight there will be no sound
In golden silence we'll be found

To never have to say goodbye
when it hurts too much to just get by
honesty will be a glace away

We're not far, don't say anything

When all the words of the poets lie meaningless
When all the trivial delusions
all lose their place in the arms of those who wonder why
nothing really matters

Tonight all be no sound
in silence we'll be found
a little less exaggerated
To never say goodbye
To never tell a lie
To never come across so jaded

To never curse your name again
To never take the blame again
To never get the last word everytime we've got nothin' good to say

Lyrics to Skeletondanse :
This day we dance away through our obsession
cut away the pain with surgical presision
A static flash to burn your minds eye
emotionless in doubt
now you dont ever have to feel anything anymore
Anything anymore....

As the skeleton dance, for another chance

Another day alone with our perversions
To eat away ourselves is our religion
If you get me high I'll be right where you are
Just like everybody else, aching for a better view

Here and now we'll scream for more
We can make this so much more

Kill the body and the head'll thrive along
Kill the body and the head'll lead you on
All the coward souls in this place we live
Reside me to wonder if this is really where we all belong

Skeletons dream of touch this close
Curiousity pushes the nail deeper
Fingertips dream of touch this close
Curiousity pushes the nail deeper

Here and now we'll scream for more
We can make this so much more
Kill the body and the head'll thrive along
Kill the body and the head'll lead you on

As the skeleton dance

Lyrics to Scarlet :
Scarlet you got everything I want
You're my pistol my pollution
And my secret alibi
We got no music but we can dance around this death
Cause nothing moves you like extinction
and you know I'm always game

So let's forget the small talk
On this eve of destruction baby
hollowed be our name
this hell is where we hide
Drown with a lost soul and maybe
the eerie glare of neon will last all night

we drone on we persist without an end
we destroy all life around us
we are the beauty from within
and I been tortured by my place in all of this
but you assure me of my purpose
what we are we've always been

So lets embarace the downfall
on this eve of destruction baby
hollowed from within
we got no where to hide
Damned with no secrets and maybe
the eerie glare of heaven will shine all night

And now I watch your shaking hands
embrace the window as you stare into the light
We both know theres no escaping what we are
but we still persist and fight

On this eve of destruction baby
hollowed be our name
we are the end of days
Drown with a lost soul and maybe
the eerie glare of heaven will go on forever

Lyrics to Swan Dive :
Well its hard to find the words to say, what no one would say to you when were around, the loneliest caged bird sings the saddest song, and you were never one to keep us guessing long, well if you ask me what went wrong? ill tell you nobody is doin fine, were all fucked up and doin time, the gates of Eden elude people like ourselfs, I think about you every now and then, more now than I ever did when you were down, all reservations pass when chances slip away, all songs play better from confusion, now I sit and I wounder how, everyday gets a little shorter always feel im losin out somehow, don’t wanna let another day go by without creation, now if you ask what went wrong? When your fallin you’re the only one that doesn’t see the distance, sacrifice yourself to save yourself, now we don’t always walk the line and broadcast how we hurt sometimes, and at times it seems nobody wants to know, give me some time I might remember everything you ever did or said to me.

Lyrics to The Misanthropic Principle :
Look at me and say to me
without guilt or compromise
that you care about anything
that doesn't jump right in front of your eyes
We got a problem you got a problem
the mesmerizing truth
We all want the life
no one is supposed to really own

Tell me what is worth dying for?
I ask with the assumption I'll get no reply

Breathe in breathe out
sometimes I get lost within a stare
I look around and I ask myself
"Why the fuck should I even care?"
this affliction repetition
it's all been done before
while I'm sittin' here just killin' time
as the world goes along for more

Tell me what is worth dying for?
Would you give up everything to make one lasting point?

We all believe we have the right
to make believe we know what's right
but how much will it take
to make you stand and be heard?

I am the reason you are the reason
to abandon everything we have become
my eyes are wide open my heart is wide open
is your mind wide open to see?

Lyrics to Calling :
The wings that take this sparrow break with this weight of mine,
another message lost into the void of time,
Is anybody out there get the message that I send?
Would anybody read it then send it back again?
A call to mend connection lost through memory and bone,
A call to find a new way to communicate and grow!
Now I sold my voice to pay for my security
now I write my sentence on its walls

I'm calling, is anybody out there?
Is anybody tunning in?

One thousand years that Ive waited for a sign
A dream may last for seconds changing you for all times
Frantic incoherent just a reach in the dark!
a message for my lonely thoughts a sparrow for my heart.

I'm calling, is anybody else out there?
Is anybody listening? Can anybody hear me?

The wings that take this sparrow break with this weight of mine,
Another message lost straight from this heart of mine
A message out to anybody tunning in that this whole world is slowly caving in!

Lyrics to Blackhawks Over Los Angeles :
Curfew tonight in Hollywood
as the insurgence is growing near.
helicopters and ecstasy
and the shot heard 'round the world.

the camera shines for channel zero
as the cool kids are running scared.
the army's got a brand new toy
and they're just waiting for the word.

tonight it begins, so lock your doors up tight.
blackhawks over Los Angeles

the civil strife between the left and right
as the occupation falls.
the homeless have taken Beverly Hills
and there's smoke from city hall.

we never have seen it coming down
this way before
blackhawks over Los Angeles
and on and on they go
in the spotlight glare
this is crazy.

broken glass and panic attacks
silicone and (.......................)
panic in the streets tonight.

Lyrics to Party In The Hills :
Slow down
These chemicals won't take you anywhere
So let the smoke go down and fill the room
As you look at me for something else to blame

Breathe in deep as the poison fills your lungs
It's nights like these that make mornings a hope will never come
So hold your breath and follow me
Clockwork devices are all we'll ever be

So you do your dance obliterating everything you see
And I do my best to waste it all away

This machine replicates and hums along
The medication rages but the high is all the same
Just a walking catastrophe now
Crashing into you

So it all goes up flames erasing what will never be
And we'll do it all again tomorrow

So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time

I've turned to see your reaction
And what I thought it would be
From somewhere in the distance
I hear the sirens scream

Dancer, I remember the night you set this place on fire
With you out there in the middle of the room
Sitting pretty but you know you have

No defense, you have no defense
As we both go down in flames
You hold your breath and wonder why
No defense, you have no defense
Then you do your dance obliterating everything in sight

So it goes and now it's gone
The life we choose is how we'll fall
The way we destroy is the art of it all
This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be
These colors never run, they only fade in time

Lyrics to All The Nations :
In London, in Brooklyn
By the side of the road in the rain
It's simple in this ghost town
Another set of eyes breaks me down again
I know there's something going on with my perception
I see the same face in every new direction
And every set of eyes tells me something I know about myself
But never seem to wonder

This breaks my heart, each time I see the woman I don't know
And all the nations tell me is we're all the same way

In Berlin, in DC
Going south on a cocaine train
A church yard, a back yard
Keeping on till we find our way home again

To all of the nations
And two light towns
In the airports and gutters
The eyes shout all the same

This breaks my heart, each time I see the woman I don't know
And all the nations tell me is we're all the same way

Together we go through it all and
We've seen it all and we're going nowhere
In life we can never try to break us down and
Get along

Together we sing along
In life we'll never be alone
In life we'll never be alone
Let's celebrate the space that keeps us from ever getting in
From ever getting in

This breaks my heart each time I see the woman I don't know
And all the nations tell me is we're all the same way

Together we go through it all and
We've seen it all and we're going nowhere
In life we can never try to break us down and
Get along

Lyrics to A War Called Home :
We are the last remains,
we are a bridge over troubled water,
we are the renegades,
we are awake to what's going on

I was the son of a police man
who's father choosed was lost in Vietnam
one nation believed all the tv said
killed Kennedy and screamed "god is dead"

Come sing along with me
a song that can't be wrong
we are the last remains
that carry on

we are the bombs that rain
upon the ones that ?turned to wrong?
we are the oil fields
that'll burn till hope is gone

so raise the flag and prey on everything gone wrong
in CEO we trust and carry on

we are the break down
come on and get down
for every ?? gotta tear this shit down
to write/right a story
a wrong story
to be the ones that'll change direction

cuz i've been asleep too long
and i can't remember how i got so numb
to what's going on

we need no hand grenades
no machine guns to make us strong
we are the every day
they got armies well we've got ours

so sing along with me
we are the beating heart
that pumps the blood through veins that carry me on (cheers, strungout_jam)

so put your flag down
come on and get down
we are the ones that'll tear this shit down
to write a story
a history
without bombs or religious glory

cuz we've been asleep too long
with no real answer to how it got this far

tonight i will not close my eyes
how can we ever sleep again?
how can we ever sleep the same?
how can we ever sleep the same?

Lyrics to Letter Home :
Well I feel stupid writing this
Cause it's almost like I'm getting ready for something I'm not ready for
And I guess I just wanna let you know
Wish I could be face to face with you and tell you how I feel

I wasn't gonna write this, you see my body and I had a deal
I just hope and pray that neither one of us has to deliver and
[...]when it comes down to it

I will always be with you
I will always be watching
I miss you all
Tell my girl that I love her
I'll be dreaming of her

And I don't wanna fight anymore
And I'm still not sure what I'm doing here
I'm praying and praying, are you praying, too?
Cause I do not understand
And if you get this letter, I'm sorry I didn't make it back

I will always be with you
Always watching
And I know that I'll never die alone
No matter where I am

Hold on please, don't forget me when I'm gone
Cause I forgot why I ever left at all
These times take the best of me
and leave nothing for the rest of me
And I judge myself in every way
And I can no longer look at myself in the same way

And I don't wanna be a coward
But does any of this mean a thing?
The sacrifice, whose sacrifice?

I will always be with you
I will always be watching
And I know that I'll never die alone
No matter where I am

Hold on please don't forget me when I'm gone
Cause I forgot why I ever left at all
Why I ever left at all...
Oh, why I ever left at all...
I just had to let you know...

Lyrics to Orchid :
I am the future
I am metaphor for war
I take my medicine as I'm praying on the floor
We see the future whats going behind our time
I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline

Raise me to shine I cannot define my cracks
Wash me aside when my levees finally break
In opposition we are never free
When our thoughts become our slavery

The poet and the liar
The future or the way we were
Stand down rise up, we all know
The secret to the life we chose
So we are

I am not escaping from who I am
I am less than dead, reborn again
We all won't get turned away
All is forgiven when we pray

The poet and the liar
The future or the way we were
Stand down rise up, we all know
The secret to the life you chose
Stand down rise up, we all know
Stand down rise up, we all know

Lyrics to Dirty Little Secret :
Wouldn't understand if I told you so
Wouldn't care to see if I tried to show
Wouldn't know what to do if I made you feel
Like I feel today so don't bring me down

So don't bring me down
Cause the world keeps turning

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet

Silhouette against the angry sky
These skyscrapers a mile high
Well hide me long enough to get by
These troubles of mine are never that far behind

And what's coming to the helicopter sound
All this shit's going down
In the world right in front of me
I'm a suicide cause
With a sidewalk soul
I got a song in my head
And I'm going for a walk around

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet tonight

I got nothing but time
To take a walk and find
What I never could explain
I'll make you understand
There's nothing in here you'd be interested to hear
So ignore me if this doesn't rhyme

I swear there won't be
I swear there won't be a next time
So walk on by if you see me in your way
Cause you wouldn't understand if I told you anyway
You wouldn't even care if I tried to explain

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet

A little stranger than fiction in life
Everybody's got their own world to live through
We've all got our song to write
It starts a dirty little secret that won't stay quiet tonight

Won't stay quiet tonight

Lyrics to Downtown :
Tonight, I feel you coming down.
I feel you coming over me like broken glass,
Falling down to cut my dreams.
Now, if these walls could only talk,
They'd say no more than I can say here with a grin,
a bottle and Saint Anthony.

My thoughts are turning on me now
And the pace with every footstep, takes me farther down
The dark end of the street that you call home.
Confessions, stories, chances left behind.
All show their faces in every stranger that I find.

There's something you don’t wanna know.
There's something I don’t wanna say.
Transmission on the radio. No direction, no way home.
There's something going wrong with us.
There's something broken in our eyes.

Caress the emptiness and pour another drink
and wash away these memories,
These dirty walls with gasoline....
The faces here don’t have a thing to hide.
They tell the story of every broken heart survived.

There's something you don’t wanna know.
There’s something I don’t wanna say...
That if we make it out alive,
there's more to life than to survive!
There's something going wrong with us,
there's something broken in our eyes.

Tonight, I feel you coming over me.
Tonight, I don’t wanna feel a thing.
Now we never ever planned to go this far.
We never ever thought that it would get this dark.

There's something you don’t wanna know.
There's something I don’t wanna say.
Transmission on the radio. No direction, no way home.
There's something going wrong with us.
There's something broken in our eyes.

Lyrics to The King Has Left The Building :
Where have you gone and run to, where have you been
Ive been doing some hard thinking and I've been growing thin
Well I've slept in stalls and alleyways and broken princess hearts
Assassinating kings on Christmas day, I watch the world fall apart

Well I betrayed the world I save
The freedom to the ones I left behind
And I ain't never going back
Empire, don't cry for me anymore

Now who have you gone and become, who are you now
Cause the home you left so easily is a memory now
I'm a stranger you have always known and never will forget
I'm the trigger on your trigger finger
I'm the only ride you got

I drank the wine, I parted seas and walked the mile
I betrayed you all with the promise I'd come back
Empire, don't talk to me anymore
When dust and ash will be all you are
Who will know that I was never really left for you

You hold me in your hearts
As you raise hell in my name
Forsake me, tear me apart
For all you know of me
All you know is pain
All you know is what you lost

Empire, don't cry for me anymore
When dust and ash will be all you are you can let go

One thousand honors, one grain of sand
One whispered grail, wanna lend a hand
In black hawk fields of gold
When people shatter history
When people quiet the faith in me

The king that would never
Could never, ever
Show them all, be salvation

Lyrics to Mission Statement :
I believe you own your soul
gotta feel the pain, then grow
our best intentions blowing in the wind
i got trouble on my mind
you've got a little on your mind
we both turn running
but we don't belong

i still believe in the changes
i still believe in the sound
my voice is screaming out
we are forever bound (forever bound)

i still believe in all that we can do
when the valley gets too dark
we'll lead the drum into the marches
i still believe

hollow insincerity
you've got yours to sing with me
we are the change that we've been screaming for
who's gonna help us now
who's gonna show us how
we got a story now
lets write a song

i still believe we can make this
there's something bigger that what breaks us
my voice is screaming out
so never let me down
forever bound

i still believe in the song
of the underdog
in the bottom of my heart
along the railroad tracks
i still believe

i got the world on my mind
and i have you by my side
there's more to this then meets the eye
there's more to life then we can buy

forever bound
i still believe in all that we can do
when the valley gets too dark
we'll lead the drum into the marches
i still believe
that we still got a chance
along this lonely road
we're never who we say we are
i heard the word
i feel the change
and i see something in the way

Lyrics to Diver :
There is a place I know through misery and stone
I'm delirious, neglected and cold
With sadness blossoms overgrown

There's a shadow in the garden
Where we sit and wait alone

There is a grave beneath the shadows, somber with neglect
Now rises half regret
Where no prayer has been since

There's a shadow in the garden
Where the love and I wait
Solid as the day we left it all behind

Diver, we'll rise again
Diver, we'll live again
Diver, in the cities were we were free where I've been for us

And the ruins of another time another world
Freedom's on the way, at the end of it all

There's a shadow in the garden
Where the love and I wait
Solid as the day we left it all behind

Diver, we'll rise again
Diver, we'll live again
Diver, in the cities were we were free where I've been for us

Like a dream and darkness reaching out for you
Bone and dust enshrouded velvet me and you

To feel the sun against my back
You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd live it all again
You know I wouldn't change a thing
To walk along this place and live

You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd do it all again
You know I'd do it all again

I wouldn't change a single thing
Just like a dream, we'd live again
We'd live again
