A Million To ONE Come look thru my eyes tonight Let me show you around Let the body go On which ever way the wind blows Hold on tight It can get rough Forsight will pull you through it Just to move along In the real world I know from experience They will try and pin you down Sometimes they get the job done That's why it's so important To have a sence of self It's a million to one Our mental blocks a prisoner Our unmanifested actions frighten us Why did we go so far away from home Well dont you know? Where no worse or any better Our dependence brings us closer To the kill Can you find the answers Or the will? Your a million to one I know Your a million to one.

The High Road: Only time will tell I have my reasons She has alot on her mind I wish she'd let it go When consequence turns the cards It reads the future You have sewn She draws out a white line For a lost soul Sometimes there's nothing left For those who loved you, and resentment gets old. Lucky for you Your point of view Is loved by your illusions She works her magic on time Her spindled web is sewn In her self defence She cant revive What doesn't grow Only time will tell She has her reasons On our last goodbye Will you try and take the high road If I speculate on arrogance I'll tell you It always knows Lucky for you Your point of view Is loved by your illusions The lasting fires of love and war The signs suggest The three of swords

BABY DOLL 03:24
Baby Doll: She arrives on the heels of winter On the heat of springtime She hopes that you will fall for her Take it as a divine sign She is no fool As she jumps on every train that passes She relys on everyone to view her world Thru her rose tinted glasses Boo Hoo, she cries Boo hoo she cries Dont fall for the baby doll Her stylized moves Strip search the room The single men are plenty For every victim Theres a stage to set Her looks to envy Her stories are prepared The waterworks are overflowing For every sucker Theres a price to pay Without them knowing Boo hoo she cries Dont fall for the baby doll. She takes you home Your knocked out cold Find your pockets emptied In a blur on high speed Off she goes Her lips airtight My baby doll's Had a goodnight

No Pieces Fit: Sometimes your gone. No pieces fit. Everything feels dead inside. When no pieces fit. I hope you find away to pull yourself together. Climb every worthwhile thought you fall upon. It has to make some sence. When no pieces fit. Half the time just to roll out of bed. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to do. To face another day. When your wasting away. No pieces fit. You worry all the time Anxiety wanes Do all the things you shouldnt do Just to numb the pain The plans made to pick yourself up The plans just to pull yourself through When death creeps on the dotted line On mountains of debt. No pieces fit.

The Damage Is Loved Theres nothing good enough that's gonna stop you from yourself Just get out of my fucking way. Nothing is ever gonna please you You just cant deal with it So get out. Everything to you is just a fucking game Everything to you is just a fucking game. So get out of my way you aint doing me any favors no more You take advantage of me I cant beLIEve the things you thrown away Everythings just a joke to you now. What can you say for yourself honey Youve got no advantage stacked up on me Laugh inside and cried and lonely Everything is just a joke to you Everything is just a joke to you right now Youve got all the answers and the plans and you will go So far away, no one will know Yeah were damned anyway Oh no? Youve got to put off those little coke dreams inside Just let your friends love Think about it. The damage has been done The damage has been done The damage is love The damage is loved Everything to you is just a fucking game, Ha!ha! Everything is just a fuckin game now So get out of my way, you aint doing me any favors no more NO! No more Everything to you is just a fuckin game....

LOW DEAD 03:27
LOWDEAD: Fourty days and fourty nights Cant wait till it's over Feeling like a leper Looking over my shoulder I cannot feel My life's surreal As Im getting older Please take me on a ride tonight Lets get loaded Let's get lowdead. Im hanging out like a crucifix With a drink in hand A pill in the mix I drown in the sound As I wash it down All these boys have lust for kicks I dont have time to feel lonely I just want to have fun only All I ask is that you help me out No time for bed Lets gets loaded Lets get lowdead He says it's on to go To the bathroom stall With a forty bag and the mirrored walls We enter the room The lights burn bright As we meet and greet With skull white There is no leash on my behavior Excess is my personal trainer Suck to the burn As were in flux To the beat of Dj Daddy Deluxx I dont want to go home lonely I dont want no one to hold me Tie me up onto the bed Load your gun in Lets get loaded Lets get LowDead
