Don’t fret precious, I’m here Step away from the window Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child, I won’t let the boogie men come Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say, they don’t care about you like I do Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils See, they don’t give a fuck about you, like I do Just stay with me, safe and ignorant, go back to sleep, go back to sleep
Lay your head down child, I won’t let the boogie men come Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons I’ll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and voice of reason I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices, son One and the same I must isolate you, isolate and save you from yourself
Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and Count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums The boogie men are coming, the boogie men are coming Keep your head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war dums
Stay with me, safe and ignorant, just stay with me, Hold you and protect you from the other ones, the evil ones don’t love you, son

As I walk on through this wicked world Searching for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself, Is all hope lost? Is there only pain, and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? And as I walked on through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes So where are the strong? And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

Lost again Broken and weary Unable to find my way Tail in hand Dizzy and clearly unable to Just let this go
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live
I fell again Like a baby unable to stand on my own Tail in hand Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me heal me lift me back unto the sun Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they Snare another pill and Drive another nail down another Needy hole please release me
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live, I choose to live
People are people so why should it be You and I should get along so awfully So we're different colours And we're different creeds And different people have different needs It's obvious you hate me Though I've done nothing wrong I never even met you So what could I have done I can't understand What makes a man Hate another man Help me understand People are people so why should it be You and I should get along so awfully Help me understand Now you're punching and you're kicking And you're shouting at me I'm relying on your common decency So far it hasn't surfaced But I'm sure it exists It just takes a while to travel From your head to your fist I can't understand What makes a man Hate another man Help me understand
Say hello to the rug's topography It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it Say hello to the shrinking in your head You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white She's got everything I need pharmacy keys She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Say hello to all the apples on the ground They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping Say hello to everything you've left behind It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white She's got everything I need some pills and a little cup She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Help me if you can Adjust to this It's not hte way I'm wired so could you please

Lying to myself again Suicidal imbecile Think about it, put it on the faultline What'll it take to get it through to you precious I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this Such a mess, I dont wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, no more legiments Narcisistic, drama queen, craving fame and all this decadance
Lying through your teeth again Suicidal imbecile Think about it, put it on the fautline What'll it take to get it through to you precious I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this Such a mess, I dont wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
They were right about you They were right about you
Lying to my face again Suicidal imbecile Think about it put it on the fautline What'll it take to get it through to you precious I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this Such a mess, over this, over this
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere, Do it somewhere far away from here
Cast the calming apple Up and over satellites To draw out the timid wild one To convince you it's alright And I listen for the whisper Of your sweet insanity while I formulate Denials of your affect on me
You're a stranger So what do I care You vanish today Not the first time I hear All the lies
What am I to do with all this silence Shy away, shy away phantom Run away terrified child Won't you move away you fucking tornado I'm better off without you Tearing my will down
I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know Best to keep things in the shallow end Cause I never quite learned how to swim
I just didn't want to know Didn't want, didn't want, Didn't want, didn't want
Close my eyes just to look at you Taken by the seamless vision I close my eyes, Ignore the smoke, Ignore the smoke
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call it aftermath, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you
Because I don't want to know I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know I just didn't want
Mistook the odds for an approval Just ignore the smoke and smile
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call it aftermath, she's turning blue Such a perfect color for your eyes Call it aftermath, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you, Call it aftermath, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you
So glad to see you well Overcome and completely silent now Without himself You cast your demons out And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you off your cloud But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about Making your amends to the dead To the dead
Recall the deeds as if They're all someone else's Atrocious stories Now you stand reborn before us all So glad to see you well
And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you to the ground But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about Making your amends to the dead To the dead
With your halo slipping down Your halo slipping Your halo slipping down Your halo slipping down Your halo slipping down (repeated)
Tilling my own grave to keep me level Jam another dragon down the hole Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren One that pushes me along and leaves me so
Desperate and ravenous I’m so weak and powerless over you
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china White as Dracula as I approach the bottom
Desperate and ravenous I'm so weak and powerless over you
Little angel go away, come again some other day The Devil has my ear today, I'll never hear a word you say He promised that I would find a little solace and some peace of mind Whatever just as long as I don't feel so Desperate and ravenous I'm so weak and powerless Desperate and ravenous So weak and powerless over you Over you Over you
A victim of collision on the open sea Nobody ever said that life was free Sank, swam, go down with the ship But use your freedom of choice I'll say it again in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Your freedom of choice In ancient rome there was a poem About a dog who found two bones He picked at one He licked the other He went in circles He dropped dead Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice! Then if you got it you don't want it Seems to be the rule of thumb Don't be tricked by what you see You got two ways to go I'll say it again in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Freedom of choice Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice! In ancient rome There was a poem About a dog Who found two bones He picked at one He licked the other He went in circles He dropped dead Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice Is what you want
