1. THE CAGE

Hush now baby
Don’t you cry
I can’t wipe your teary eyes
You look at me terrified
Oh baby don’t you cry

Invade my dreams
Every night
Claw for air
I can’t breathe
Fight for life
Every night
Trip to nowhere
Celestial flight
The trip was
Oh so real
And dying just
Blew my mind

He told me, “Son?”
WALK
A walk
Not by-sight
But-by faith
He told me, “Son?”
TALK
Of love and of hope everyday
I asked my friend
Oh when will it end?
He said again and again
In His time

For 40 years
Or was it
40 nights
A living hell
I’m not dying
In the desert
Not tonight
Trip to heaven
Celestial flight
I’m almost there
Milk and honey
It tastes so real
Blew my mind

He told me, “Son?”
WALK
A walk
Not by-sight
But-by faith
He told me, “Son?”
TALK
Of love and of hope everyday
I asked my friend
Oh when will it end?
He said one more time again
In His time

My torment has been legendary
Persecution and insufferable rage
I left my dead self in a cemetery
A damnable soul set free from its cage

Hush now baby
don’t you cry
I can’t wipe your teary eyes
You look at me terrified
Oh baby don’t you cry


2. ONE SHELL (IN THE CHAMBER)

One shell in the chamber
Get it ready and cocked
One pull on the trigger
Can I do it or not?”
Galvanize with so much sorrow
Desolation’s my only friend

Feel the pulse of my heart
feel the grip of my hand
One pull of the trigger
The insanity ends

Melancholia kills me slowly
Paralyzed, I’m petrified
See my face
I don’t even know me
My life is flashing by

Dyings an easy thing
Trying just to crash and burn
Its living that defeats the weak
I’ll finally get my turn

Not gonna stake my life
Not gonna stake my life
I got better things to do
I’m not gonna take my life, no

Pounding Surrounding Drowning Confounding

Not gonna stake my life
Not gonna stake my life
I got better things to do
I’m not gonna take my life, no
Pull the trigger
Can I do it or not

Not gonna
Not gonna
Not gonna take my life


3. STANDBY PASSENGER

Control, control, control,
I wanna be in Control
I never wanna lose control
I was always live today and gone tomorrow
I can’t prevent my end and what’s to come
Today’s the day their calling me back home
Just gonna let it ring ‘cuz I don’t wanna go

You say, “I am leaving here today
Headed to a place of no more sorrow – no sorrow”
I’ll say, “Since I’m already in
Hey, could I take a later flight tomorrow?” – tomorrow

Control, control, control
I wanna be in Control
I never wanna lose control

The impressionists who say they know me
Call it heaven
But without you, it just isn’t so
My blood is racing
I’m gonna meet my maker
I can take the pain
Could I just stay a little more?

You say, “I am leaving here today
Headed to a place of no more sorrow – no sorrow”
I’ll say, “Since I’m already in
Hey, could I take a later flight tomorrow?” – tomorrow

Control, control, control
I wanna be in Control
I never wanna lose control

Almost everybody that I know
Won’t be at this party when it’s time to go
The stress of life has taken its toll
Someone’s calling out my name
Someone’s calling out my name
Someone’s calling my name

You say, “I am leaving here today
Headed to a place of no more sorrow – no sorrow”
I’ll say, “Since I’m already in
Hey, could I take a later flight tomorrow?” – tomorrow

Control, control, control
I wanna be in Control
I never wanna lose control


4. RUNAWAY TRAIN

Captured effortlessly
Snuck up behind me
That moment I wanted to be just by myself
Back to the scene of the crime
To question myself don’t do no good
But I’d do it again and again
The agony was worth it to me
Just like lightning in the distance
That quickly she perfected my existence

Feel your body tremble
When the tip of my finger touches your skin
See your body crumble
When I scratch your back and dig my nails in

That night we kissed
I forgot what I’d done
But I felt like I could walk a tightrope
Wrapped around her finger
Took just one look to see
Her whirl pooling blue eyes
Just got the best of me
Then she rendered me senseless
Intoxicating me, leaving me defenseless
I looked up to the sky
Now our blood flows together
Still I’m mesmerized

Feel your body tremble
When the tip of my finger touches your skin
See your body crumble
When I scratch your back and dig my nails in
Feel your body tremble
When the tip of my tongue touches your lips
See your walls crumble
You pick up the pieces and start all over again

You know, I’m tired, you know, I’m weak,
I’m so tired, so tired
You know, I’m tired, you know, I’m weak,
I’m so tired, So tired.

Can’t keep me down, no,
Not now the hunt is on
You can’t beat me down, no,
Anticipated for so long
You can’t keep me down
I’ve got the taste
I’ve got the scent
You can’t beat me down
Not from what was heaven scent

Slipping on through the night
A bullet wrapped in Vaseline
Like a loco locomotive
Full o’ nitro glycerin
Like a runaway freight train
Stopping at nothing it sees
Complete loss of control
Bring a man to his knees


5. PUZZLE BOX

How did this happen
Somebody tell us
Anybody got the guts
Just tell the truth
To the people
The ones who suffer
Just like us

Another torturous day
A fight that I can’t win
Autism aint just Schism
Its blood curdling screams from within
It seems the brain won’t connect
I can’t find a minute of peace
Heightened skills
They come next
With duplicity, it ain’t easy
A struggle day by day by day
We know we’re not alone
Therapists are here most every day
This life, it ain’t easy
A sickness that’s not going away
One day the truth will be revealed
Silent, but Speaking volumes
Is The serpent coiled upon their seal

Every child’s mind is…
Like a puzzle box
But what of the mind that stays…
That stays forever locked?
Early intervention’s The key to it all
Now we lift them up
HE won’t let them fall

Don’t know the bliss of sleep
Don’t recognize their names
Shrieking for no damn reason
They won’t even look at YOU!
Lemme make you all aware?
The Truth sticks in a Doctor’s throat
Whether mortal man or Sorcerer
Now Hypocrite of the Hippocratic Oath
We the parents were never told
WE the people were not prepared
But God blessed America, right
So why’s the White House running scared?

Every child’s mind is…
Like a puzzle box
But what of the mind that stays…
That stays forever locked?
Early intervention’s
The key to it all
Now we lift them up
HE won’t let them fall

Pharmaceutical corruption
Neurological destruction
Monetary seduction Human deconstruction

Every child’s mind is…
Like a puzzle box
But what of the mind that stays…
That stays forever locked?
Early intervention’s
The key to it all
Now we lift them up
HE won’t let them fall
Every single child’s mind is like a puzzle box
But what of the mind that stays
That stays forever locked
Tell me who can cure the puzzle box?
Now we lift them up
HE won’t let them fall


6. GET UP

Each day you suffer
Just Like any other
Canʼt take it anymore
Sprawled out on the floor
All that torment
All those years and emotions
Thereʼs nothing left to give
Your hearts all broken up
I know how you feel
Your hurt real, real bad
Still you deny yourself
Ooh your such a martyr
Iʼm reaching deep inside you
Yeah this is going to hurt
If we must spill some blood
Then spill it
Get off your knees

Call me
Get on your feet and call me
Call me
Get off your knees
I got your back

All your darkest secrets
All your deepest lies
Your not alone professor
Everyoneʼs got junk to hide
With no way out
Let me tell you
Itʼs those darkest nights
That end each morning
With a ray of light

Call me
Get on your feet and call me
Call me
Get off your knees
I got your back

Here comes the new Adam !

Get off your knees
I got your back
Get on your feet
and call me

Call me
Got on your feet
And call me
Get off your knees
I got your back


7. DON'T THREATEN TO LOVE ME

She loves me?
She loves me not?
She loves me?
She loves me not!

My Pulse was weak, exhausted, and tired
The rose are dead
And my mind is on fire
Emotional hostage
I lived in your cage
Can anyone anywhere
Feel my rage ?

You can’t take the real me
I can’t take the real you
If you won’t change for me
How could I change for you

She loves me?
She loves me not?

You know what I see when I look right to you
Nothing at all So I look right through you
Vacant transparency and poisonous breath
Living with you made me fantasize death
Tearing my flesh till my bones even bleed
Can anything anywhere fill my needs

You can’t take the real me
I can’t take the real you
If you won’t change for me
How could I change for you

Don’t threaten to love me
Don’t threaten to love me
Don’t threaten to !

She loves me?
She loves me not?

Your words only scourge
I needed a healing Now
I found a way out
And I stand tall by kneeling
No more solitary confinement each day
Can anyone anywhere see I prayed

You can’t take the real me
I can’t take the real you
If you won’t change for me
How could I change for you
You can’t take the real me
I can’t take the real you
If you won’t change for me
How could I change for you


8. ANGELS OF WAR

Medic
Medic

In coventry for a thousand years
Being perfected to deceive
Let loose one day from the great abyss
Now prowling the streets

Planning revengence for the next thousand years
Of his false majesty
Ten thousand souls
This roaring lion is hunting
You and me

A raging war of epic proportions
The fiercest battle to ever unfold
For the dominion of all the worlds powers
The greatest story thatʼs ever been told

Perfected to deceive
Resurrected to believe
Perfected to deceive
Resurrected to believe
The Angels of war

See the nations Romancing the harlot
Witness the whore Of great babylon
The bottomless pit
Is open for business
See them close the gates of hell
Behind them all
Woldwide calamity
The end of the story
Everyone is screaming
They all learn their fate
The grand finale
On the right is the Glory
On the left the white horse
Invites as hell awaits

Perfected to deceive
Resurrected to believe
Perfected to deceive
Resurrected to believe
Angels of War

What

What was
And what is to be ..
Tell me What

What was
And what is to be ..


9. WATCHMAN

I am a watchman
I know what nobody knows
I watch the wall
And see what the networks won’t show
Tonight the bullets fly
Enemy or friendly fire
Somebody’s gonna die, that’s right!
Me and my rifle Patrol the streets unknown
There’re many like it
BUT this one’s my own
Out here a tour of duty is a guided tour of hell
Still we prowl this dangerous roads alone
To nowhere

I take your picture with me Jesus,
I hated being all alone
I’m coming back home today
I’m bringing my body back to you

Someone’s waiting for me, sleeping safe at home
I said I’ll be back soon
But when nobody knows
There’s no greater love than to lay down one’s life
They’ll say I was brave
I made the ultimate sacrifice

“The secretary of the Army has asked me to express his deep regret
That your child was killed in action.
The secretary extends his deepest sympathy
To you and your family in your time of loss.
”The President would like you to have this book
On “How to apologize in 101 Middle Eastern dialects, and a free turkey.”

I take your picture with me Jesus
I hated being all alone
I’m coming back home today
I’m bringing my body back to you

While on his journey
The hot southern wind Had brought a sandstorm
And there is nothing he could do
But wrap his head, turn his back to the wind
And wait While the sand filled his nostrils and throat until he suffocates

I take your picture with me Jesus
I hated being all alone
I’m coming back home today
I’m bringing my body back to you
I take your picture with me Jesus
I hated being all alone
I’m coming back home today
I’m bringing my body back to you

I am a watchman
I know what nobody knows
I watch the wall
And see what the networks won’t show


10. WARPAINT

Back as a young boy
I was taught Of freedom and being free
To stand for my national anthem
My country ‘tis of thee
Lately, I noticed a change
I feel like something’s going down
America’s on her knees
Bleeding to death
The government is cowering

Today is a good day to die
We’re gonna take it by force
I’m gonna light my fire
Off Lady Liberty’s torch
Because it’s to the republic
Yeah, for which I stand
I put my war paint on
With my gun in hand

Changing the way we believe till;
Till there’s nothing worth fighting for
We’re fighting ourselves
Our enemies laugh
Look around
Nobody’s winning the war
Take the commandments, and God
Out of the courtrooms the schools
And the halls
Till we become a nation divided
Without the Almighty
You can Watch us all fall down

Today is a good day to die
We’re gonna take it by force
I’m gonna light my fire
Off Lady Liberty’s torch
Because it’s to the republic
Yeah, for which I stand
I put my war paint on
My gun is in my hand

Back as a young boy
I was taught Of freedom
And being free !

Ho ka hey, hey, hey, hey
Ho ka hey, hey, hey, hey
Ho ka hey, hey, hey, hey
Ho ka hey, hey, hey, hey
Ho ka hey


11. TEMPTATION

Who knew such calamity could be fathered in the American heartland
As she said, “You can look at me, but please don’t touch”
The pain she brings is worth the price of admission Hell,
I’ve never seen damaged goods go for that damn much
Of course he was a poor man
with a bread and water budget
She had Moet champagne and Beluga caviar taste
He needed to feed all his darkest inhibitions
So she stuffed more than enough right back in his face

It’s taking me down
To my knees
My wicked flesh
I’m oh, so weak
I don’t do what I should do what I shouldn’t
Stop tempting me

His friends all knew better
When they tried to save him from his first fight
They told him to forget her
Instead he took her home for his wife HA!
Now he stands in court committed
Exhibit A: a switchblade knife
He admitted that he did it
And he got twenty hard years to life

It’s taking me down
To my knees
My wicked flesh
I’m oh, so weak
I don’t do what I should do what I shouldn’t
Stop tempting me

It’s taking me down
To my knees
My wicked flesh
I’m oh, so weak
I don’t do what I should do what I shouldn’t

It’s taking me down
To my knees
My wicked flesh
I’m oh, so weak
I don’t do what I should do what I shouldn’t
Stop tempting me

It’s taking me down
To my knees
My wicked flesh
I’m oh, so weak
I don’t do what I should do what I shouldn’t
Stop tempting me


12. KEEP PUSHING ME

It keeps pushing
Keeps pushing me
It keeps pushing me on
Keeps pushing
It keeps pushing me
Keeps pushing me on

Impulsive, yes that’s true
Repetitive in everything I do
Compulsive, I’m turning blue
Meticulous, I’m all that in my view

I do things over and over
I’m always looking over my shoulder
Can you relate to my disorder?
Never ever reaching closure

It keeps
It keeps on pushing
It keeps on pushing me

Perfectionism is my problem
My behavior is full blown chronic
My flesh screams, but don’t touch me
To inherit sin really sucks

I suffer again and again
I can only blame playing the game
Blood runs down my fingertips
All I ever get right is the pain

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Someone that I’d rather be
I confess where there’s mess now there’s order
Come drink, the water’s free?

It Keeps
It keeps on pushing
It keeps
It keeps pushing me

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Someone that I’d rather be

My Father, my Mother
They rule the universe
My valor, my honor
At times has been a curse
The battle, the glory
The victory and the blood
The pride is to raise the flag
Of the King of Kings
High above

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Someone that I’d rather be
I confess where there’s mess now there’s order
Come drink, the water’s free
I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Someone that I’d rather be
I confess where there’s mess now there’s order
Come drink, the water’s free?

The waters free
