Familiar Strangers

I am here in the grave waiting for my colors
Waiting for the leaves to turn to dust
When the weight of the world and is in your homes
And you pray for an end to what you start
Yeah you pray for an end to what you start
Did you think that I would be in the audience
Waiting for the curtains to fall
There is no celebration in this room for three
Just the ambiance of alcohol
Sometimes you’ll see me
Even though you know that you know that I am gone
Sometimes you’ll hold me in your arms
Even though you know you’re holding him
Sometimes you’ll see me
Even though you know that you know that I am gone
Sometimes you’ll hold me in your arms
Even though you know you’re holding him
Did you think that I would be in the audience
Waiting for the curtains to fall
There is no celebration in this room for three
Just the ambiance of alcohol
And our bodies have become familiar strangers
And our bodies have become familiar strangers
Sometimes you’ll see me
Even though you know that you know that I am gone
Sometimes you’ll hold me in your arms
Even though you know you’re holding him
Sometimes you’ll see me
Even though you know that you know that I am gone
Sometimes you’ll hold me in your arms
Even though you know you’re holding him
Even though you know you’re holding him
Even though you know you’re holding him

Get Away

I don’t wanna lie, don’t wanna try
Because it just don’t feel right
I don’t wanna hear, a what ya say
As if it matters anyway
You don’t wanna know where I’m from
It’ll make ya turn and run
You will wanna scream, avert your eyes
But don’t ya stand there paralyzed
Get Away!
Get Away!
I, I used to lie and with a smile
And let you have it your way
Now, I changed my mind for all of time
I’m gonna make my get away
We (he said), we’ll part our ways (she said)
Or so they say (I said) to lead a better kind of life
Free (he said), from all the noise (she said)
And all the toys (I said) to a place I fantasize

It’s all about black lights and festivals.
Blonde hair and cherry soda
You wanna hear the sound of fear if you’re able
It’s all about dark ink and milk-white powder
Don’t stare at the suns forever
You wanna hear the sound of fear if you’re able
Give up your ghost. Give up your guns
Let’s make a toast. Are we having fun?
Just like mother said I’ll see you at the station
When you’re givin up the ghost. Given up your ghost.
Black lights and festivals.
Blonde hair and cherry soda
Dark ink and milk-white powder.
Don’t stare at the suns forever
You wanna hear the sound of fear if you’re able
Give up your ghost. Give up your guns
Let’s make a toast. Are we having fun
Just like mother said I’ll see you at the station
When you’re given up the ghost. Given up your ghost.
You want a piece of it. I’m from a hard line
You want a piece of it. I’m from a hard line!!
Givin up your ghost. Givin up your guns
Let’s make a toast. Are we having fun
Just like mother said I’ll see you at the station
When you’re given up the ghost. Given up your ghost.
You want a piece of it. I’m from a hard line
You want a piece of it. I’m from a hard line!!

Cut Me

She was just a child, no match for the master
She’s not the first one to fall into my trap
Opened her heart yeah, red meat for the taking
She was to truthful while I was just faking
(I never saw a girl like her coming)
She cut me
(I never saw a girl like her coming)
I’m bleeding
(I never saw a girl like her coming)
Cut! Cut!
(I never saw a girl like her coming)
Sharp was the needle that plunged into my vein
Suddenly transformed her love into my pain
Sound of her laughter, I could not shake it
Followed me after, how could I be taken

Salt of the Earth

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Won’t you give it a rest?
I was shot by the side of the road
Can’t you tell by my chest?
Arms stretched like an open field
Gonna get it tonight
Just because you feel it baby
Doesn’t mean that it’s right
You’re the salt of the earth
Tell me what is it worth
It’s a set up, my time, your time, in time
Been a while since you came around
Most people forget
Our words are wars for you now
Everybody’s for rent
Take a word from the other side
Let your life be spent
So you took the role they gave you
The season came and it went
You’re the salt of the earth
Tell me what is it worth
It’s a set up, my time, your time, in time
