+Shihad- Traitor+
Way down in your bones baby
It's written in blood
So light the candles
And beat on the drums
No matter what you try to sell me
They're never gonna give
Because the combat zone they're living on
Fuck, it ain't no way to live
Won't have to see you again
Bulldozer down your home
Won't have to see you disappearing
When you're gone
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
You're outta your mind baby
You're outta mind
Should have you locked up
Until the end of time
No matter what you try to tell me
What you try to say
Had to abandon all your moral codes
'Cause they just get in the way
Who you are and who you know
Where you come from to where you go
Moments that take your breath away...
Got your Head
Back to front
Lack of talent
Sell out cunt

Drifting--off Lost Dogs
Drifting, drifting, drifting away.
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.
It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save.
And I'm drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting along.
I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone.
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, but I guess it's their way.
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh.
I feel like going back there, but never for long.
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.
Drifting, drifting along. Drifting, drifting along.0 -
They were hiding behind hay bales,
They were planting in the full moon
They had given all they had for something new
But the light of day was on them,
They could see the thrashers coming
And the water shone like diamonds in the dew.
And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw those thrashers rolling by,
Looking more than two lanes wide
I was feelin' like my day had just begun.
Where the eagle glides ascending
There's an ancient river bending
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Where sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions,
Who were lost in crystal canyons
When the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates.
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
With a one-way ticket to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
How I lost my friends I still don't understand.
They had the best selection,
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed,
Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
Or became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks and in the stations
They were waiting, waiting.
So I got bored and left them there,
They were just deadweight to me
Better down the road without that load
Brings back the time when I was eight or nine
I was watchin' my mama's T.V.,
It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode.
Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars
Down the windy halls of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The motel of lost companions
Waits with heated pool and bar.
But me I'm not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line in the field of time
When the thrashers comes, I'll be stuck in the sun
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
But I'll know the time has come
To give what's mine."I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
I walk the streets alone
On feeble bones i ride
My sins are etched in stone
I got no place to hide
Well, i was unshakable
In what i did believe
I feel so breakable
But have i been deceived
You showed me your paradise
And your carnival of souls
But my heart keeps telling me
That ain't the place to go
Well, i'm not invincible
So i want you to leave
Well, i'm so convincible
But have i been deceived
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why i'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
I remember yesterday
When things were black and white
Never thought i'd get confused
On what was wrong and right
Well, i'm not unbreakable
With armor on my skin
Well, it's not unthinkable
I could be fooled again
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why i'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
You steal another minute from my life
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
And you don't care
And even though i'm chokin'
All my words are spoken
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Take this world and try it on
Man, you're lookin' good boy
Stick your neck out on the block
So you won't miss nothing
Stretch your finger, grab your hair
Don't you feel like screaming
Feel the blood rush from your veins
Now you're a perfect zombie
Now i'm on my knees
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer"Everyone wants to be the sun that lights up your life, but I'd rather be your moon so I can shine on you during your darkest hour when your sun's not around."0 -
she motioned to me
that she wanted to leave
and go somewhere warm
where we'd be alone
but i do not know, what's going on
but i'm guessing it's an all night thing
it's an all night thing
if it's an all night thing
nobody is gonna make it end
and if it don't begin
don't worry that i'll take offense
and if it's an all night thing
and we fall like a tear falling to the ground
i'll never come around
and you'll never hear a word from me
if it's an all night thing
well i walked alone, feeling at ease
and falling like rain
into her scheme
she won't let on what that'll be
but i'm guessing
it's an all night thing
if it's n all night thing
nobody is gonna make it end
and if it don't begin
don't worry that i'll take offense
yeah if it's an all night thing
and we fall like a tear falling to the ground
i'll never come around
and you'll never hear a word from me
if it's an all night thing...I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide eyed fears
I'm here
Nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
let daylight dry your tears
I'm here
With you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you
Now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe
No one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Say the word
And I will follow you
Share each day with me
Each night, each morning
Say you love me
You know I do
Love me
That's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go
Let me go too
Love me
That's all I ask of youWe’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's all out to get yousometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...0 -
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again."
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand. And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah.
And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out again.
And the reason oughta' leave her calm, I know.
I said "I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag."
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't want to stay.
Make me cry...
I see... Ooh I don't know why there's something else.
I wanna drum it all away...
Oh, I said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag."
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't wanna stay at all.
I don't wanna stay. Yeah.
I don't wanna stay.
I don't wanna stay."Everyone wants to be the sun that lights up your life, but I'd rather be your moon so I can shine on you during your darkest hour when your sun's not around."0 -
Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like a lettuce
Go on and dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I’m thirty-something
Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis
Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree
You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleeding enough for two
It’s a midlife crisis...
What an inheritance
The salt and the kleenex
Morbid self attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
I’m a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleeding enough for two
It’s a midlife crisis...............0 -
I love you, the best.
Better than all the rest.
I love you, the best.
Better than all the rest, That I meet in the summer.
Indian summer.
That I meet in the summer.
Indian summer.
I love you, the best.
Better than all the rest.
Indian Summer - The Doorslay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~0 -
A little light looks through her bedroom window.
She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems,
Of brighter meadows, melting sunsets,
Her hair blowing in the breeze.
And she can't see me watching.
And I'm thinking love...
Chorus:
It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter,
Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender
I'm older now. I work inn the city. We live together.
But it's different than my dream.
Morning light fills the room. I rise.
She pretends she's sleeping.
Are we everything we wanted?
And I'm thinking love...
Chorus
I know we don't talk about it.
We don't tell each other
All the little things that we need.
We work our way around each other
As we tremble and we bleed.I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the endsometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...0 -
Paint a picture forty shades of gray.
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.
It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh
Fuck tradition. No one's safe from harm.
Wait a living. Cup and curse these arms.
After having seen all that they saw.
It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Ohh
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. I hope this works. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Oh, somehow.sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...0 -
Redemption Day
I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
**Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
What do you have for us today?
Throw us a bone but save the plate-
Oh why've we waited til so late?
Was there no oil to excavate?
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate?
Throw us a bone, you men of great**
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom
- Sheryl CrowLife is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love

Hey there
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all
Where you are and how you feel
With these lights off as these wheels
Keep rolling on and on (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down or speed them up
Not enough or way too much (and on and on and on...)
How are you when I'm gone?
And I can't make it on my own
(And I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die
Because you kill me
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone
Spare me just three last words
"I love you" is all she heard
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever
And I can't make it on my own
(And I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die
Because you kill me
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone
You never stop until my final breath is gone
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
My final breath is gone (so I can fall asleep tonight)
And I can't make it on my own
(And I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die
Because you kill me
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
so much blood i'm starting to drown
runs from cold to colder
time to time the sky's come down
to help me lose my way
tears and lies for answers
you and open veins, god knows i'm gone
girl i just want you to
come on down
lord it's a storm and i'm heading to fall
these sins are mine and i've done wrong, oh babe
come on down
long gone day
mmmm, who ever said
we wash away with the rain
see you all from time to time
isn't it so strange
how far away we all are now
am i the only one who remembers that summer
oh, i remember
everyday each time the place was saved
the music that we made
the wind has carried all of that away
long gone day
mmmm, who ever said
we wash away with the rain
so many tears i'm starting to drown
the rain in heaven's all come down
silver spoons affix the crown
the luckless ones are broken
fears and lies for answers
you and open flames
god knows i'm gone
and i just want you to
come on down, hmmm
lord it's a storm and i'm heading to fall
these sins are mine and i've done wrong
i want you to, oh, i just want you to
come on down
i fear again, like then, i've lost my way
and shout to god to bring my sunny day"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N’ give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
That she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
Til ya know how she needs to be touched
You’ve gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N’ when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That you’ll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
Really really ever loved a woman?
You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin’ good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...
Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her

Your attention, please
Now turn off the light
Your infection, please
I haven't got all night
Understand, do you understand?
Understand, I'm a gentleman
I stayed in too long
But she was the perfect fit
And we dragged it out so long this time
Started to make each other sick
But now I've got time for you
For you, you, you and me too
Well, come and get it, come and get it
'Cause I'm done
Understand, do you understand?
Understand, I'm a gentleman
I waited for the joke, it never did arrive
And words I thought I'd smoke
Let me in I'm cold
All messed up but nowhere to go
You got indecision, and indecision is my enemy
Unlock the cabinet, hey hey hey
I'll take whatever you got
Now I'm on it, now I'm on it
And you're done
I waited for the joke
It never did arrive
And words I thought I'd choke
I hardly recognizeI know someday you will have a beautiful Life

I forget when words were only words
she knows the party makes me nervous
in this stage we can’t get hurt
don’t try to understand me
we’re too cool to be alone
but, not too crazy to get busted
I found out one life ain’t enough
I need another soul to feed on
I’m the flame I can’t get burnt
I’m wholly understated
I found silence in this space
an on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace
heaven sweep me away
love don’t change, don’t come around here
don’t wear my heart on your sleeve
like a high school letter
don’t strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it
and the people we’ve become, well
they’ve never been the people who we are
I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty
I don’t need you crowding up my space
I just want to get inside you
you can’t blame the heart you save
giving something away
love don’t change, don’t come around here
don’t wear my heart on your sleeve
like a high school letter
don’t strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it
and the people we’ve become, well
they’ve never been the people who we are
I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
we sat on my back porch and watched it
I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
we sat on my back porch and watched it
in my head I heard the sound
like fifteen strangers dancing
but oh how I want you to know me
oh how I want you to know me
oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
oh how I wish you could own me
love don’t change, don’t come around here
don’t wear my heart on your sleeve
like a high school letter
don’t strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it
and the people we’ve become, well
they’ve never been the people who we are"I like our socks. I hear we make a fine sock. I always say, You might not love our records, but I think you'll like our socks."0 -
"Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes
With X's in my eyes and drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in
My eyes, and drawing flies
Hey what you yellin'
About, conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction
Hey what you yellin' about sadist's
Co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin' about conditions
Permission mirrored self affliction
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies"Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0
