Stop to warm at karmas burning Or look ahead, but keep on turning? Do I have the strength To know how I'll go? Can I find it inside To deal with what I shouldn't know? Could I have my wasted days back Would I use them to get back on track? You live it or lie it! My lifestyle determines my deathstyle Keep searching, keep on searching This search goes on, this search goes on Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock I've worn out always being afraid An endless stream of fear that I've made Treading water full of worry This frantic tick tick talk of hurry Do I have the strength To know how I'll go Can I find it inside To deal with what I shouldn't know? Worn out always being afraid An endless stream of fear that I've made You live it or lie it! My lifestyle determines my deathstyle keep searching, keep on searching This search goes on, this search goes on Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock My lifestyle (birth is pain) Determines my deathstyle (life is pain) A rising tide (death is pain) That pushes to the other side (It's all the same) St. Anger Saint Anger 'round my neck Saint Anger 'round my neck He never gets respect Saint Anger 'round my neck (You flush it out, You flush it out) Saint Anger 'round my neck (You flush it out, You flush it out) He never gets respect (You flush it out, You flush it out) Saint Anger 'round my neck (You flush it out, You flush it out) He never gets respect Fuck it all and no regrets I hit the lights on these dark sets I need a voice to let myself To let myself go free Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets I hit the lights on these dark sets Medallion noose, I hang myself Saint Anger 'round my neck I feel my world shake Like an earth quake It's hard to see clear Is it me?

Just let me plug you into my world Can't you help me be uncrazy? Name this for me, heat the cold air Take the chill off of my life And if I could I'd turn my eyes To look inside to see what's comin' It comes alive And I die a little more It comes alive Each moment here I die a little more Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Takes me away I'm frantic in your soothing amrs I can not sleep in this down-filled world I've found safety in this loneliness But I can not stand it anymore Cross my heard hope not to die Swallow evil, ride the sky Lost myself in a crowded room You fool, you fool, it will be here soon It comes alive And I die a little more It comes alive Each moment I die a little more Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Treats me this way And I wait for this train Toes over the line And then the unnamed feeling Takes me away Get the fuck out of here I just wanna get the fuck away from me I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate I hate it all, why? Why? Why me? I cannot sleep with a haed like this I wanna cry, I wanna scream I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate I wanna hate it all away Purify Tear it down Strip the layers off My turpentine Old pain, old looks Cover up the past White heat, white light Super white bones Bones of you and I Pure If I' Can't you help me? Pure if I' Won't you help me? Purify you and I Purify you and I Pure if I' Can't you help me? Pure if I' Won't you help me? You and I purify Truth and dare Peeling back the skin Acid wash Ghost white Ultra clean Wanna be skeleton Clear eyes Diamond eyes Strip the paste of mine My sweet turpentine I can find the dirt on anything I can find the dirt on anything I ain't dancing with your skeletons I ain't dancing with what might have been All Within My Hands All within my hands Squeeze it in, crush it down All with my hands Hold it dear, hold it suffocate All within my hands Love to death, smach you 'round & 'round and All within my hands Beware Love is control I'll die if I let go Hate me now Kill all within my hands Hate me now Crush all within my hands Squeeze all within my hands Choke all within my hands Hate me now Trap all within my hands Hurry up and hate me now Kill all within my hands All within my hands Take your fear, pump me up All within my hands Let you run, then I pull your leash All within my hands Under thumb, under to myself All within my hands Beware Love is control I'll die if I let go Hate me now Kill all within my hands Hate me now Crush all within my hands Squeeze all within my hands Choke all within my hands Hate me now Trap all within my hands Hurry up and hate me now Kill all within my hands again I'll die if I let go Control is love, love is control I'll fall if I let go Control is love, love is control I will only let you breathe My air that you receive Then we'll see if I let you love me Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill |
