BROTHER

Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky
With some who say I've lost my mind
Brother, try and hope to find...

You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away
Like you used to do

Roses in a vase of white
Bloodied by the thorns
Beside the leaves that fall because my hand is
Pulling them hard as I can

You were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away
Like I used to do

Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color tastes

You were always so far away
I know the way
So don't you run away
Like you used to do

...like you used to do

GOT ME WRONG

Yeah, it goes away
All this and more of nothing in my life
No colored clay
Individuality not safe

As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong

I can't let go
Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
Feel a tortured brain
Show your belly like you want me to

As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something...

Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something's got to turn out right

You, sugar taste
Sweetness doesn't often touch my face
Stay, if you please
You may not be here when I leave

As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something...

Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever

...Something's got to turn out right

RIGHT TURN

Inside, always tryin' to get back inside
But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin

I'm 'bout as low as I can get
I'd leave but I can't forget
Still I wonder why...it ain't right
It ain't right...ain't right
It ain't right...

She's 'bout as low as she can get
She'd leave me but she won't forget
And she wonders why...she ain't right
She ain't right...ain't right
She ain't right...

Now we're as low as we can get
Can't leave and can't forget...
We ain't right...We ain't right
Ain't right...ain't right...
We ain't right...we ain't right...

It's hard to believe somebody tricked you
When you can see you were only high
It's all up to you, so you gamble
Flat on your face and into the fire

AM I INSIDE

Loneliness follows me
Quicker than darkness crawls
To the surface of my skin
Visibly surrounded by it

Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free

Surrounded by empty souls
Artificial courage used
And because so once was mine
I walk this maze alone

Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself
Man's below himself
Man's behind himself
Am I inside my self

Chaos and hate shadow me
Pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel
Missing better half of me

Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself
Man's below himself
Man's behind himself
Am I inside my self
