1. The Hollow
Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One motive
Cater to the hollow
Screaming; feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour
'Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow
Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying
Feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying
2. Magdalena
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your holiest of altars
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste
One taste
One taste of you, my magdalena
3. Rose
Don't disturb
The beast
The tempermental goat
The snail, while he's feeding on
the Rose
Stay frozen, compromising
What I will
I am
Bend around
The wind silently
thrown about
Again I'm treading so
Soft and lightly
Compromising my will
I am
I am
I will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Play dead
Play your doe
in the headlights locked down
and terrified
Your deer in the headlights
shot down and horrified when
Push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this
Self-destructing dance that never
would've ended till I
Rose
I roared aloud here
I will
I am
I am
I will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Lay dead
Play this
Kneel down
Gun-shy Martyr
Pitiful
I rose, I roared
I will
I am
4. Judith
You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned ******** your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never - Choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you
5. Orestes
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb
One shape
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment
Give me
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Because I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Gotta cut away, Clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta' cut away Clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you
6. 3 Libras
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed, passed over
When I've looked right through
To see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me
Well I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see
See through it all
See through
And see you
So I threw you the obvious
Do you see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Well, oh well..
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all
7. Sleeping Beauty
Delusional
I believe I can cure it all for you, dear
Coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you
Make it right for you sleeping beauty
Truly thought
I can magically heal you
You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to rescue
Sleeping Beauty
Drunk on ego
Truly thought I could make it right
If I kissed you one more time to
Help you face the nightmare
But you're far too poisoned for me
Such a fool to think that I can wake you from your slumber
That I could actually heal you..
Sleeping Beauty
Poisoned and hopeless
You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
And hiding from some poisoned memory
Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping Beauty
8. Thomas
Humble and helpless
Learning to pray
Praying for visions
to Show me the way
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Illuminate me
Illuminate me
Illuminate me
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin
Hoping to
Hoping to reconnect to you
9. Renholder
I will not fall down
10. Thinking of You
Lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless, unable to focus on
anything but your surrender
Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like
Sweet revelation sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...
Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like
Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation sweet
Thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, Thinking of you, Thinking of you, thinking...
Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation
11. Brena
My reflection
Wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be
Bathed in Brena
Guides me
Safely in
Worlds I've never been to
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Brena
So vulnerable
But it's alright
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Brena
Show me lonely and
Show me openings
To lead me closer to you
My dear Brena
(Feeling so) vulnerable
But it's alright
Opening to... heal...
Opening to... heal...
Heal.. Heal.. Heal...
Heal me
12. Over
Been over, been over this before
been over and over
been over this before
And over, been over this before
so over this
Been over this
So over this
Been over this
Over this before
13. Orestes (Demo)
From Mer de Noms (Japan)
-phor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb
One shape
One resolve
Liberate this will
And release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue-
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment
Give me
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Feel
Feel every part of me
Umbilical residue
(eyes melt away without you?)

1. The Package
Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what i'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
'Til you think I'm listening
I take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
Peripheral on the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for
then I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine
Eye on what i'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile to get what's mine
Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie to smile and get what's mine
Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Give this to me
Take what's mine, take what's mine, mine...
Take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine,
This is mine, mine, mine [whispered]
2. Weak and Powerless
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 I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and Ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Desperate and Ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
over you
3. The Noose
So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heaven's help
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]
Your halo slipping down to choke you now
4. Blue
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 their nods 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
I don't want to know
5. Vanishing
Disappear
Disappear
Higher
Higher
Into the air
Slowly disappear
No, no longer here
Disappear
Disappear
Thinner, thinner
Into the air
Never really here
What that never
Like a thought brushing up against a sigh
Floating away
Floating away [repeated]
Vanishing like a cyan soleil
Disappear
Disappear
Vanish, vanish into the air
Slowly disappear
Never really here
Floating away
Floating away [repeated]
6. A Stranger
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 ******** tornado
I'm better off without you
Tearing my will down
7. The Outsider
Help me if you can
It's just that this, this is not the way I'm wired
So could you please,
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires
You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. I don't want to 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, numb belligerence
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its decadence
Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, I don't 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, you're pounding on a faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, Coalesce, Coalesce
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
8. Crimes
One...two...three
Four...five...six
Seven...eight...nine
Nine...nine...nine
Ten...ten...ten...ten
[unexplainable noise]
9. The Nurse Who Loved me
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 in 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
Say hello to the rugs topography...
10. Pet
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 boogeyman come
Counting 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, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a ******** 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 boogeyman 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 a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums
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,
Go back to sleep
11. Lullaby
Go back to sleep...
Go back to sleep [whispered]
12. Gravity
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 the 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
High and surrendering to the 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 up to 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 the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live
1. The Package (Extended)
From Thirteenth Step (Japan)
Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what i'm after

'Til you think I'm listening

1. Annihilation
Originally by Crucifix
From dehumanization
To arms production
For the benefit of the nation
Or it's destruction
Power, power
The law, the land
Those living for death
Will die by their own hand
Life's no ordeal
If you come to terms
Reject the system
Dictating the norms
From dehumanization
To arms production
To hasten the nation
Towards it's destruction
Power, power
The law, the land
Those living for death
Will die by their own hand
Life's no ordeal
If you come to terms
Reject the system
Dictating the norms
From dehumanization
To arms production
To hasten the nation
Towards it's destruction
Power, power
The law, the land
Those living for death
Will die by their own hand
Life's no ordeal
If you come to terms
Reject the system
Dictating the norms
From dehumanization
To arms production
To hasten the nation
Towards it's destruction
It's your choice
your choice
your choice
your choice
Peace Or Annihilation
2. Imagine
Originally by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
3. Peace, Love, & Understanding
Originally by Nick Lowe
As I walk 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 & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & 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 slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
4. What's Going On?
Originally by Marvin Gaye
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on
Right on baby
Right on baby
5. Passive
Originally by Tapeworm as "Perfect Enemy"
Dead as dead can be, my doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him, never the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, You disappoint me,
Maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause maybe
Someday I'll walk away and say, You disappoint me,
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
You're better of this you're better off this
Maybe you're better off
Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause maybe
Someday I'll walk away and say, You ******** disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me
Why can't you turn and face me
Why can't you turn and face me
Why can't you turn and face me
You ******** disappoint me
Passive aggressive bullshit
6. Gimme Gimme Gimme
Originally by Black Flag
Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for
Sitting here I'm a loaded gun
Waiting to go off
I've got nothing to do
But shoot my mouth off
Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for
You know I'm gonna go out
Get something for my head
If I keep on doing this
I'm gonna end up dead
Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for
I know the world's got problems
I've got problems of my own
Not the kind that can't be solved
With an atom bomb
Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for
7. People Are People
Originally by Depeche Mode
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So we're different colors
And we're different creeds
And different people
Have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've 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
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
Help me understand
Now you're punching
And you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
And 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 (head to your fists)
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
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
I can't understand (people are people)
What makes a man (why should it be)
Hate another man
Help me understand
8. Freedom of Choice
Originally by Devo
Victims of sedition in an open sea,
No one ever said life was free
Sink, swim, go down with the ship,
Just use your freedom of choice.
I'll say it again, in the land of the free,
Use your freedom of choice,
Freedom of choice
In ancient Rome,
There was a pawn,
Who fought along,
And watched it fall.
He cast a stone,
He felt secure,
He thought that he
Would never be heard
Freedom of Choice
Is what you've got
Freedom of choice
You're given a voice
You don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you say,
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've got
Freedom of Choice
In ancient Rome,
There was a pawn,
Who fought along,
And watched it fall.
He cast a stone,
He felt secure,
He thought that his voice would never be heard.
Freedom of choice,
Is what you've got.
Freedom from choice,
Is what you want.
Freedom of choice,
Is what you've got.
Freedom from choice,
Is what you want.
Freedom from choice,
Is what you want.
Freedom from choice.
9. Let's Have A War
Originally by Fear
There's so many opposites,
So many opposites
So many, there's so many, there's so many
Let's have a war
So you can go and die!
Let's have a war!
We could all use the money!
Let's have a war!
We need the space!
Let's have a war!
Clean out this place!
It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!
Let's have a war!
Jack up the Dow Jones!
Let's have a war!
It can start in New Jersey!
Let's have a war!
Blame it on the middle-class!
Let's have a war!
We're like rats in a cage!
It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!
Let's have a war!
Sell the rights to the networks!
Let's have a war!
Let our wallets get fat like last time!
Let's have a war!
Give guns to the queers!
Let's have a war!
The enemy's within!
It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!
10. Counting Bodies to the Rhythm of the War Drums
Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a ******** about you, like I do.
Count the bodies like sheep
Count the bodies like sheep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go to sleep [x14]
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
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 a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
11. When the Levee Breaks
Originally by Memphis Minnie
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And all these people have no place to stay
Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away
Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works so hard, to keep the water away
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
I'm goin' back to my used to be
I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home
12. Fiddle and the Drum
Originally by Joni Mitchell
And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist
And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum

1. Judith [Renholder Mix]
You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your savior has abandoned you
Your Lord and your Christ
Took all you had and
Still you pray, you never stray--never
never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
Not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Thank your God!
Pray to your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, never stray--never
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
Thank your God! [x2]
2. 3 Libras [Feel My Ice Dub Mix]
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed
But I see
See through it all
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Naked and oblivious
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see
See through it all
See through
Tragedy
Oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
3. The Outsider [Apocalypse Mix]
Help me if you can
It's just that this, is not the way I'm wired
So could you please
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires
You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Why would I
Why would I
Why would I wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Day to die [x3]
Medicated
Drama queen
Picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic
Drama queen
Craving fame and all its decadence
Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What will it take to get it through to you precious
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Die [x5]
Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, coalesce, coalesce
Have his day to die
Disconnect and self destruct
Disconnect and self destruct
4. Weak and Powerless [Tilling My Grave Mix]
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
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
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 I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
over-
Over you
5. The Outsider [Frosted Yogurt Mix]
Help me if you can
It's just that this, is not the way I'm wired
So could you please,
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires
You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. I don't want to 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, numb belligerence
Narcissistic
Drama queen
Craving fame and all its decadence
Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, cut it on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, I don't 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, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, coalesce, coalesce
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
6. Blue [Bird Shake Mix]
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 [x4]
Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes,
Ignore the smoke,
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 their nods 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
I don't want to know
7. 3 Libras [All Main Courses Mix]
Threw you the obvious
A name
Difficult not to feel a little bit
See you naked
Don't
Just to see
Eyes
Fallen angel
Eyes
Here I am expecting just a little bit
The wounded
See through
The obvious
See what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes
8. The Hollow [Constantly Consuming Mix]
Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One motive
To cater to the hollow
Screaming; feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Constantly consuming
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour
It's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow
Screaming; feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
Feed me
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
9. The Hollow [The Bunk Mix]
Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One motive
To cater to the hollow
Feed me
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour
It's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow
Feed me
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
Feed me
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify

Official Live Lyrics
These are live songs that were included in singles and have slightly different lyrics from the original versions.
Brena (Live)
From the Judith single
My reflection
Wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be
Bathed in Brena
Guides me
Safely in
Worlds I've never been to
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Brena
So vulnerable
But it's alright
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Brena
Show me lonely and
Show me openings
To lead me closer to you
My dear Brena
Vulnerable
But it's alright
Opening to... heal...
Opening to... heal...
Heal..
Judith (Live)
From the 3 Libras single
"This song is called....Judith"
You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your savior has abandoned ******** your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never - Choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
Not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
3 Libras (Live)
From the 3 Libras single
"This song, this song is called 3 Libras and uh, at least two, maybe three of those libras are here tonight. Uh, if this song sounds bitter, it's because it is and I am."
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I've looked right through
To see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see
See through it all
See through
And see you
Because I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well.. oh well..
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all
Sleeping Beauty (Live)
From the 3 Libras single
"Allow me to uh, expand on that if I could. I was in this relationship with a person who was so terrified to show me who they really were that she basically acted, or slept her way, through nine months of the relationship and uh then just disappeared and I kinda wrote these words to kinda maybe work through that and maybe hopefully some day she would hear it and get it.
So as it turns out, she calls me after a year of being completely gone, heard the record; loves it!... just didn't get it, isn't that ironic? The song's called Sleeping Beauty."
Delusional
I believe I can cure it all for you, dear
Coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you
Make it right for you sleeping beauty
Truly thought
I can magically heal you
You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to rescue
Sleeping Beauty
Drunk on ego
Truly thought I could make it right
If I kissed you one more time to
Help you face the nightmare
But you're far too poisoned for me
Such a fool to think that I could wake you from your slumber
That I could actually heal you
Sleeping Beauty
Poisoned and hopeless
You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
And hiding from some poisoned memory
Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping Beauty
The Hollow (Live)
From the Hollow single
Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One motive
Cater to the hollow
Screaming; feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour
'Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow
Screaming; feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying
Feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying
Orestes (Alternate Live)
From the November 5th, 2003 - Birmingham, AL concert
Picture a parish in a playground
Innocent faces in a circle
Tiny hands hold round the edges
A fret for every gentle moment
My heart high above their heads
On a billowing diaphram of memories
and I struggle to catch a glimpse of you
but I'm bound by webs of habit
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
and from pulling you down with me
In here I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment
and I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Snip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you

A Perfect Circle Cover Lyrics
These are songs that were covered live during concerts by APC.
Ashes to Ashes
Originally by David Bowie
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumor from ground control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the action man
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
and I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
but the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a druggie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all time low
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Diary of a Madman / Lovesong
Diary of a Madman originally by Ozzy Osbourne / Lovesong originally by The Cure
Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I'll have to pay
Diary... of a madman
Walk the line,another day
Entries of confusion
Dear diary, I'm here to stay.
Sanity now and beyond me
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
There's no choice
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm hopeless
Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself?
Sanity now and beyond me
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
There's no choice
I will always love you [x6]
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm whole again
I will always love you
There's no choice
Fred's Got Slacks
Originally by Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live
There's a guy named Fred
and he's got a pair of slacks
ooooh Fred's got slacks
He's got a pair of slacks
and he wears them really well
ooooh Fred's got slacks
Fred's got slacks
Fred's got slacks
There's a guy named Freddie
and he's got a pair of slacks
ooooh Fred's got slacks
He wears 'em really nice
and he thinks they're really swell
ooooh Fred's got slacks
Fred's got slacks
Fred's-- "sorry. Where were we, what happened?"
Vacant
Originally created in the TAPEWORM project
Dead as dead can be
From what the doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Prefer the optimistic
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up to face me
Rise up and show me
Someday I'll say you're vacant
And maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become
...My perfect enemy
Wake up (again to / why can't you) face me
Rise up and show me
Someday I'll say you're vacant
And maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
People better off this way
You're better off this way
You're better off this
You're better off this
Maybe you're better off
Wake up (again to / why can't you) face me, come on and
Rise up, (why can't you / I tell you,) show me
Some day I'll say you're vacant
And maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear me
