Lyrics -
Affliction
Nowhere Now
Twenty-one miles to go,
teeth grinding,
cold coffee and a cigarette.
Strung out, hung out and driving
I'm not ready to quit yet
Oh I'm not ready to lose
Oh I'm tired of crawling back to you.
I can feel it
Slipping away
Boiling hot, burning chrome
Neon shining on the world below
Here in this devil's pit
the world I've come to know
Oh I've seen better days
The pain of these memories
I can not drive away
I can feel it
Slipping away
Nowhere to go from here
nothing to lose my dear
Nowhere to go from here
we're nowhere now
nowhere now
Broken down and alone
There's nothing I can do
no excuse I can use
I'm deep inside this hole
deep inside of you
Oh I'm not ready to lose
Oh I'm tired of crawling back to you
I can feel it
Slipping away
Blunt
You say you're gonna kick it today
crawl out from all your dirty wars
and make your escape
You say you're going to face the rage
the cage, the prison you're in
Hypocrisy and lies I am
terrified inside I am
Oh I can feel nothing
Dependant on my acts of sin
Swimming in this decadence
Oh I can feel nothing
Oh you'll never let me escape
I am your prisoner
Something's gotta take me away
I am a prisoner
Hypocrisy and lies I am
terrified inside I am
Oh I can feel nothing
Dependent on my acts of sin
Swimming in this decadence
Oh I can feel nothing
Can't take it for another day
All the contradicitions, the indifference in me
Today I'm gonna face the rage, the cage
the prison I'm in
Hypocrisy and lies I am
terrified inside I am
Oh I can feel nothing
Dependant on my acts of sin
Swimming in this decadence
Oh I can feel nothing
Wicked
I am here, in silent fear
waiting for you.
No one can see, the hurt I feel,
it pulls, it tears my soul
You don't feel, you don't care
you're so wicked
you don't feel, you don't care
you're so wicked
Take away, take away
this cross I bare
this burden shared, won't pull me down
won't hold me down
You don't feel, you don't care
you're so wicked
you don't feel, you don't care
you're so wicked
Smile she said, turn your head
walk away
It's in your hands, your hands
your hands
You don't feel, you don't care
you're so wicked
you don't feel, you don't care
you're so wicked
Emotional Stain
Me, I'm misunderstood
I'm not who you thought I was
See, I'm on the outside
Staring at the world, that you live in
You will, you won't
demand provoke
Just wait and hope I'll save you
I will, I won't, I fall, I'm not here
I'm not there to entertain you
Nothing is sacred
You're so empty and vain,
an emotional stain.
Strange how you pollute me
fill me with your rhetoric and shame
Now, I see it clearly
everything, everything was a lie
Empty and Vain an emotional stain
you're everything, you're empathy, you're sympathy
this was not for me, this was for you
You're everything, you're empathy, you're sympathy
an emotional stain.
Close
Shadows dance lazily,
across this dim lit room
Are you my enemy, my lover, my ruin?
Warm and shallow are,
the waters of your soul
It's my indifference, my hurt
that makes you whole
You lift me up, drag me down
and here I am.
Alone.
Searching for serenity,
in the halls of discontent.
Pieces of my sanity, my will,
my hope have left.
I don't understand, where this all began.
Are you my enemy, my lover, my ruin?
You lift me up, drag me down
and here I am.
Alone.
You are so far away,
you are so far away.
You lift me up, you drag me down
You leave me so alone
You lift me up, you drag me down
You leave me so alone
Blood in the River
I feel strangely cold and
nervous again my friend
and it's time, this
conversation ends.
I weigh, my will against the steel
in the palm of my hand.
And it looks like you'll see
my reality
And it looks like you'll feel
the pain
Did you take me for a fool my friend?
Think that you'd be laughing?
I don't ever forgive!
I don't ever forgive!
And it looks like you'll see
my reality
And it looks like you'll feel
the pain
Blood in, Blood in, Blood in,
Blood in the river
Blood in, Blood in, Blood in
Blood in the river
Oh save me soul, save my soul
Oh save my soul, save my soul
I'm not here cause I want to be
I'm not here to be free
in this broken society
corrupt and empty
You made me
you made me
And it looks like you'll see
my reality
And it looks like you'll feel
the pain
Blood in, Blood in, Blood in,
Blood in the river
Blood in, Blood in, Blood in
Blood in the river
Oh save me soul, save my soul
Oh save my soul, save my soul
Cruel World
Don't judge me, with your prejudice
Your church and God.
Tell me what the hell you got
that I want.
You can't save us all, the
journey of the sick
We're never very long,
in your cruel world.
Don't trust me, comfort
me with sentiment
You don't mean
Don't flood me,
in rivers of medicine
I can't swim.
You can't save us all, the
journey of the sick
We're never very long,
in your cruel world
Lost
Give me pleasure,
give me pain
all the things to make it fade
Take me where I want to go
I am, I am lost
Yeah, I won't crawl, yeah
You just take and take from me
You just take and take from me
Sell me pictures black and white
Sell me dreams of paradise
Make it all look so damn good
I am, I am no fool
Yeah, I won't crawl, yeah
You just take and take from me
You just take and take from me
Give me pleasure, give me pain
All the things to make it fade
Take me where I want to go
I am, I am lost
Yeah, I won't crawl, yeah
You just take and take from me
You just take and take from me
Slug
Drag me down, pull me under deep
Smother me with your hate
Tell you what I've heard it all before
Tell you I don't give a damn
I can see, I can see
I can see you
Hold me close, whisper in my ear
promise me, no more
I won't scream, I won't beg and plead
I'm here at your mercy again
Kicking and crawling
you're begging to get more
Kicking and crawling
you're dragging me down
Tell you what I've heard it all before
Tell you I don't give a damn
Drag me down, pull me under deep
smother me with your hate
Kicking and crawling
you're begging to get more
Kicking and crawling
you're dragging me down
Sycophant
Someone shoot the messenger,
dig me a grave
I can't take another minute of
this poseur's charade
Give me radio revolution
Give me public execution
Burn the flag, join the looters,
plug your ears and stop the
endless stream of lies.
You're standing on the top,
don't know how you got there
You think you know it all,
never known, you never well
they're coming up to get you
they're coming up to get you
Knock you down
Momentary fashion, the
passing of a phase
calculated drivel from
empty soul parade
pabulum for the masses
you can dig the grave
All you ever wanted was a
little piece of fame
Oh your lies, lies.
You're standing on the top,
don't know how you got there
You think you know it all,
never known, you never well
they're coming up to get you
they're coming up to get you
Knock you down
Lies
You're standing on the top,
don't know how you got there
You think you know it all,
never known, you never well
they're coming up to get you
they're coming up to get you
Knock you down
Lies
Affliction
Here I'm on the edge, of something more
than what I knew
I've traded my burdens for habits
I can't cure
Gather up my enemies
bring them to the feast
Dancing in a circle as they,
crucify me
Falling down again,
don't be late
it's my time of reckoning.
Misery, my friend,
I'm spending all my time with you
Reflection in the mirror, of
someone I once knew
take me to the gallery
Push me to my knees,
begging for forgiveness
as the chorus judge me
Falling down again,
don't be late
it's my time of reckoning.
You've taken everything on
you never get enough
intimidate, you violate,
humiliate me
You just can't let it be
You're coming back for me
push me down
push me down
hurt me again
You crawl in me, exist to feed
you watch me bleed
you're punishing
consumed with greed
You empty me
No No No No No No
Drive it deeper, go on
Just push it in
fill me with infection
your affliction in me
Oh your sadistic need
You're coming back for me
push me down
push me down
hurt me again
you crawl in me, exist to feed
you watch me bleed
You're punishing
consumed with greed you
empty me
No No No No No No
