Well I've been watching
While you?ve been coughing
I?ve been drinking life
While you?ve been nauseous
And so I drink to health
While you kill yourself
And I?ve got just one thing 
that I can offer

(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me

I'm not a martyr
I'm not a prophet
And I won?t preach to you
But here's a caution
You better understand
That I won?t hold your hand
But if it helps you mend
Then I won?t stop it

(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me

Drown if you want
And I'll see you at the bottom
Where you?ll crawl on my skin
And put the blame on me
So you don?t feel a thing 

(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me 
				

And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

(chorus)
Nail in my head
From my creator
You gave me life 
Now show me how to live

And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better thing again
Before my role defines you

(chorus)
Nail in my head
From my creator
You gave me life 
Now show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin 
				

House is haunted
I just want to go for a ride
Out and on
Before I set this room alight
Left alone forever and for crimes unclear
With my patience gone
Someone take me far from here

Burning that gasoline

New day yawning another day in solitaire
House is honest
Clearly more than I bear
Drag me off 
Before I set my world on fire
Out and gone the sun will never
Set tonight

Burning that gasoline

No what fors, only a can
Of red says danger on it
I have found another way
Burning that gasoline

Burning that gasoline
				

And when you wanted me
I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for light
I set myself on fire
And if I go far away I know
You'll find another slave

(chorus)
Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go far away
I know you'll find another slave

(chorus)
Cause now I'm free from
What you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more
				

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

(chorus)
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed I will prey
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

(chorus)
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on I read
Until the day was done
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on
				

He was standing at the rock
Gathering the flock
And getting there with no directions
And underneath the arch
It turned into a march
And there he found the spark to 
Set this fucker off

(chorus)
He said set if off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire

Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
he lay in need some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was 
Set this fucker off

(chorus)
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire

Jesus at the back door
Everything is alright
All we need is some direction
Every time the wind blows
Everything you don't know
Turns into a revelation
It all adds up inside your head
Time is wasted
				

Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return

(chorus 1)
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

(chorus 2)
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin
				

Pearls of swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for the leaving I feel

(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightening
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
				

I met a man locked away
For things he hadn't done
Innocence on a ball and chain
He'll never feel the sun
Again on his face or roses
In his hands but when he smiled
At me I could understand

(chorus)
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If you're head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a daughter of a man
Who took his life too young
She swore she'd never do the same
Then did just what he'd done
And a boy who's gone insane
Voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mothers dead

(chorus)
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If you're head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a man who had a face
That looked a lot like me
I saw him in the mirror and
I fought him in the street
And when he turned away
I shot him in the head
Then I came to realize
I had killed myself

(chorus)
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear you'll never freefall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If you're head is high you'll never fear at all
				

Well if you set your mind upon it
I know that you can
You've got everything you wanted
You've done everything you planned
So let me make an offer
I'm only trying to help
You can make your load
Just a little lighter
All you got to do is share the wealth

(chorus)
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well I know you got problems
I see it in your eyes
But if you want to live
To see the morning
Give it up to your brother
Or you'll get a surprise

(chorus)
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well, it's time to see
You got to give or you're gonna receive
It's time to see
You got to live if you wanna believe
You can be
				

I was on my way to the center of the sun
When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd
And they carried me to a hole in the ground
And they buried me
Where no one can see
And no one would be around

I am a virus, I live in silence

I was on my way to a city in the clouds
When I lost my mind and I had to settle down
Then I had a dream of an island in the sea
Where the lepers die
Where no one survives
And no one can hear the cries

I am a virus, I live in silence

And just like the heathens thinking
On our feet we believe in god
And with one step, two steps
Three steps toward the graveyard
On the high road to remembering
It seems that we forgot

I am a virus, I live in silence
				

In my hour of need
On a sea of gray
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day

(chorus)
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this
To this I relate
And I'm willing
To listen to your answers
And I'm not ashamed
To tell you I need you today

(chorus)
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

So when I'm lost
Or I?m tired and depraved
Or when my high bullet mind
Goes astray won't you light my way
				

The first time I saw you
You were chasing down
A cyclone
All alone in the field
With rail yards and clovers 
I kept rolling on and never thought 
You'd wind up chasing me

(chorus)
Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find 
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

You?re tired of walking and you 
Loathe the ground
The sideway will barely 
Touch your feet and life moves
Too slowly to hold you down
With ringing hands 
You take it out on me

(chorus)
Well settle down I won't hesitate 
To hit the highway
Before you leave me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find 
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane
				

Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drown me in your thirsty veins
Where I'll watch and I'll wait
And pray for the rain 

Curl like smoke and breathe again
Down your throat, inside your ribs
Through your spine and every nerve
Where I'll watch and I'll wait and yield to the hurt 

(chorus)
And if you don?t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet 
The coming night
In the last remaining light 

Seven moons and seven suns
Heaven wait for those who run
Down your winter 
Underneath your waves
Where you watch and wait
And pray for the day 

(chorus)
And if you don?t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet 
The coming night
In the last remaining light
