If you're gonna point that gun, you better mean to kill. The thin man is coming to get you, and you know he will The funeral is about to begin The left hand path pulls you in You’re lying in your head You can try to escape if you can but he can smell you in the air. Take a look in the mirror Do you like what you see? Oh no, I can't offer you know protection and no reprieve The funeral is about to begin The left hand path pulls you in There's a knock at your door The soils been turned before You're lying in your head You can try to escape if you can but he can smell you in the air The truth and the pain of lies told so straight You've walked this world for so long The vile, the wretched, the dirty disgrace It's time to pull the white sheet away

Winding On 03:35
You stand around Not saying much And when you do You know it’s all a front Step back, you’ll find more words than time Lasting far too long But I know you’re gonna keep on Winding On Convolution, pained illusion I’ve seen your type before Mirrors and smoke may have trapped me once That won’t trick me anymore Step back you’ll find A wealth of crimes A list so very long But you just kept Winding On Hopefully what this thing meant is lost to you now Cause I couldn’t dig it up I wouldn’t know how Speaking through a veil can be hard Feeling through a steel door The venom in this dirty cup Must be drank once it's poured and this facade you have will soon peel like the paint on my front door You will be exposed You can’t hide no more

Never know what you done wrong Always late, Always gone too long You can’t help yourself its just the way it is You said you’ll try better but you never did It's over for you, you can’t escape What can you do? What can you say? And you say I was wrapped up in rock But I know I was wrapped up in rock Maybe she’ll understand Maybe she won’t It don’t matter now Cause the lines been formed Up your nose Down your throat Walking the streets now Far from home I break the rules every chance I get I break my back all day long And you say I got wrapped up in rock But I know I was wrapped up in rock. Ain’t ever gonna stop They try to water you down That's the way I guess you see it But I’m here to tell you right now If you say it, you better mean it I break the rules ever chance I get I break my back all day long And you say I got wrapped up in rock, But I know i got wrapped up in rock Ain’t ever gonna stop

They say that money is the root of all evil then why does it light up your eyes. They say that love is all we need. Then why does it bring us down Starving and lonely we look to the left and see what we do not have They try to tell us ignore the truth Deny our baser half. But we were tricked by the gangster of fortune, he put a lie inside our head. We turned our backs on each other. And went down with ship instead. We went down with the ship instead. It can be hard to taste the food With the trace of regret in your mouth. We laugh smile and act casual for awhile, but what has that ever Done? You can't take credit for living when the battle is already done Hypocrite you would call me and you would not be wrong But we were tricked by the gangster of fortune, he put a lie inside our heads, we turned our backs on each other and went down with the ship instead. There's no hope, could there be? Left in this world, for me?

The darkness and chaos is all that I see You don’t see why, I live inside of these I close my eyes I see the spread of royal vice and ancient scenes inside my head Seeping right into you For now it's escaped Why you are here? To me its blindingly clear The dogs that scrap, the dogs that vie They hide in corners and wind themselves up tight It is the worm that crawls inside In the grain of the mind and out of sight For now it’s escaped you Why you are here To me it’s blindingly clear A step in the wrong direction A breakdown so very near An endless sky a smoldering tear Part two Royal vice and ancient scenes Yanked out of a pleasant dream You say you found your tone It don’t mean a thing to me Part three The worker in the field can live for these, sustaining him for a thousand years Try to look him in those big oak eyes, long red feathers for you to fear Rushing water and that chipping stone, A worried heart, an empty throne

Lay On It 03:49
It’s a heavy load when your love is going wrong But you’re as light as a feather when your love is growing strong You got to take it as it comes Casue you know nothing ever lasts for long You got that suspicison in your ear Telling you you know you got to beware But you gonna lay on it While you still can You gotta lay on it Till the bitter end But your gonna lay on it While you still can You gotta lay on it Till the bitter end I seen you on the street and I could tell you were sick and tired Just looking at your feet I knew that you’d been walking for miles Tearing you down playing with your heart ain't no thing But you keep coming back like a dog when you hear that bell ring You got to take it as it comes Casue you know nothing ever lasts for long You got that suspicison in your ear Telling you you know you got to beware But you gonna lay on it While you still can You gotta lay on it Till the bitter end Marks on your back Ball and chain round your neck You deserve what you get Loving for nothing and whole lotta regret, you know it.

Dyin' Anyhow 03:45
What you gonna do with yourself before you die? How you gonna live your life? Breaking your back for somebody else? Workin’ for a dime Ain't no step in the right direction. Gotta live it the way you know how. We're all gonna die babe Everybody's gotta little evil inside em, you can use it if you want to. I don't wanna live my life doing everything just like you. No way I'm wrong , no way I'm right just doing it the way I know how. We're all gonna die anyhow We're all gonna die Who you gonna give your love before you go? Who you gonna give your time? Walk around as free as the breeze without no rhythm and no rhyme? I’m gonna take a stance I’m gonna make it known I’m doing exactly what I wanna do We’re all gonna die babe We’re all gonna die anyhow.

I am the whisper, I am the dream I am the doubt that will bring you to your knees I am the sucker, I am the waster I am the looker, never the taster Yeah I know and I've learned What it takes to burn You never had it So you never lost That thing that means so much But doesn't have a cost Your cup is overflowing My cup is far from spilling You want me to lose these feelings now And there are times when it all feels lost Times got a look in its eye But there is something I can do for you And it's so hard to say What it is I need The eyes of some other fool cast down Can you even pretend to know what it is we've lost? The lines of time remind so slow But now you know A fire in the eye, an ember in the belly It's hot, it's hot but not enough I'm sick and tired of rhyme The spray of salt reminds You know it filters through my hand Yeah, I know and I've learned What it takes to burn

Can we wear our denim forever? Born too late or right on time? How black is your leather? Creating a shrine in our mind We wish we could say The past is today Stomp our feet and make some noise What else are we here for Walking and circling around Same dust in my hair from the ground Dark history shining from behind Obscuring that same old sound We wish we could say The past is today Stomp our feet, make some noise We have no choice Time after time Song after song I want it for you I hope it's not gone Shout it out now Rumble and throb It ain't so hard to know where you stand Let it all in, drink it all down Wandering through, the ages somehow
