Well I'm living in a dream Break everything I touch I want to go to sleep but it hurts to wake up I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, well since you've been gone I really ain't been feeling the best I got trouble with the bank Trouble with the law Trouble with my head and I ain't got very long I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, well since you've been gone I really ain't been feeling the best I got and empty tank of gas Sheriff on my tail Spoon in my nose couple pounds and a scale I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, well since you've been gone I really ain't been feeling the best My body's going numb I'm starting to convulse Got a ticking in my head and a racing pulse I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, well since you've been gone I really ain't been feeling the best Well it took a little time But baby now I see I ain't got to look for trouble cause it always finds me I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, well since you've been gone I really ain't been feeling the best Well I'm sick of being lonely Sick of being poor Sick of being alive and I wish I was never born I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, I'm a mess Yeah yeah yeah, well since you've been gone I really ain't been feeling the best Yeah since you've been gone I guess I'm just a little depressed

Living and dying 02:46
lyrics

Baby reach way down deep in your purse Either help me make it better or help me make it worse Don't just stand there looking pretty I could do that myself Just find me something bad And then get me some help Cause we're gonna need a little of my innocent blood to spill And if I can't make it work tonight nobody ever will Makes me wish some stranger could know how hard I tried But I tried and I failed like I lived and I died Baby get your jacket with the nice think lining I'm going to put some things in there that I don't plan on finding I plan to say some stupid things I hope that you won't be minding Keep in ming they are just stupid That don't mean I'm lying And the lies that I get back I don't plan on buying I haven't really got the knack but that don't keep me from trying And don't think twice if later tonight you find me crying Cause I'm trying and I'm failing like I'm living and I'm dying

Man with 1,000,000 faces 02:53
lyrics

Your man is two faced He'll do you wrong when you can't see Your man is two faced He ain’t no good when you can't see Well if you like your little two faced man You're gonna really love me Why do you want your little two faced man When you could have me? Why do you want your little two faced man When you could have me? I got so many faces baby I could be anything you want me to be If you like em bad Put down your little two faced man If you really want a bad one Put down your little two faced man Cause honey I'm pure evil And can't nobody be evil like I can When I was a young man The devil tried to take me I guess he took me for a fool I told him I got all the evil that I need I know what it is to be cruel And I ain't never needed nobody I ain’t never needed nobody And I don't need you I'm a man with a million faces I keep most of them unseen All at once I'm a million places That's not a figure of speech You've got some faces of your own, girl I think that you know what I mean

How bad it can get 03:17
lyrics

Girl I know just how bad it can get You haven't even seen the worst of it yet You can cry if you want to But you're only getting wet So when you get finished crying Try not to forget That you're not alone in your misery When you're down and out that's when you're gonna find me When you say life has no meaning I'll be the one to disagree I don't ever want want you to be too bitter and broken down to see Just how easy it is if you want to believe Thought you knew it all now nothing's what it seems So the the next time you get sad and blue Tell you exactly what I want you to do Dig me up and let me care for you If you can’t see it now you're gonna find out that it's true I'm gonna take you out Make you forget all about it When it comes to a heartache girl you know you're better off without it And it's just that simple Even though I know you doubt it If you can't hear me now I'm gonna stand right up and shout it Don't matter what I said it only matters how it sounded Funny now we're alone and it still feels so crowded

The Stomp 04:53
lyrics

You got me so glad to be busting my hump I'll be so sad when this here jig is up How could I ever decieve myself again? Yes what might I do if I wasn't following you my friend Honey I'm a poor man but you make me feel like god When I'm with you my emptiness doesn't strike me as odd You get the best of me, I have no way to defend Oh what would I do if I wasn't following you my friend You taught me how to accept myself When I'm with you I don't have to protect myself I'll let my guard down, you can take me to the end Wonder what I might do if I wan't following you my friend I'm hanging on every decision you make Waiting so long was my only mistake And you know it's true, so I have no reason to pretend What might I do if I wasn't following you my friend You got me so eager to lose control If you got my back there's nowhere I won't go I'm just glad you seem to think I have a hand to lend Don't know what would I do if I wasn't following you my friend You can take what you need and I'll give you more Ain't nobody round here keeping score My short-sightedness, I must confess, I did intend Oh what would I do if I wasn't following you my friend I knew I'd regret it but I did it anyway I know I won't soon have my day Anyway I know I'd surely break before I bend What might I do if I wasn't following you my friend

Somebody drew the line 04:05
lyrics

I could not let it go for you today So I pinned it down and I walked away Somebody's crying Hallelujah we are saved And I don't even know my place Somebody told me "Son you'd best be scared" I must admit that I don't care Somebody tell me What's on my mind RIght now I'm running out of time And I'll be laughing all the way There ain't a whole lot you can say Everybody's leaving now I guess the walls are coming down And I'll be laughing all the way Hey! Wait! Hey! Somebody drew the line today Somebody left me and I wish him well He told me "I'll see you in hell" And yeah, I will be there Giving out thick nerve Strictly first come first served I could not let it go for you today So I pinned it down and I walked away I pinned it down and I walked away And I walked away And I'll be laughing all the way There ain't a whole lot you can say Everybody's leaving now I guess the walls are coming down And I'll be laughing all the way Somebody drew the line today

Rat's last words 04:37
lyrics
buy track
My darling don't you cry Don't you even pretend My own wicked character Not even I would defend I'm a horrible person And an even worse friend And I believe I'll be punished When I reach the end On the day I first saw you My heart split in two I held on to the small piece Gave the big piece to you When you said I was too late I thought my life was through But I wanted you so bad girl I knew what I would do Just creep off in the night Covered in black Taking only a knife To leave in his back Same knife he left in me When I was caged and trapped But now I'm free and I'm sober And I'm one angry rat The poison that you gave me No longer makes me sick It did make me go blind But it made my skin thick And as you're falling asleep You'll hear my fingernails click You can try something clever But you'd better think quick One thing I hope you take with you From this life to the next Some creatures hold grudges If you disturb their nest And a rat like myself Well I can cause quite a mess When it's dark in the house And you lay down to rest So my darling don't you cry Don't you even pretend My own wicked soul I would not make you defend Still I can't keep from smiling As the hangman ties my hands Because I love you and if I had to I would do it all again I'd do it all again I'd do it all again I would do it all again

Down for the ride 02:28
lyrics

Well I've forgotten why I came here tonight Just like I knew that I would I got a taste of my own medicine And I'm starting not to feel so good You really knocked me out I'll bet you didn't even know you could Well I'm feeling mean And looking like the wrecking machine My veins are bursting My eyes are red And my ears are shooting out steam And when that hammer comes down It's like nothing that you've ever seen So if you're down for the ride Turn the engine over and let me drive We can raise a little hell tonight Just you and I Under the city lights And the summer sky And I won't let up till I can see the sun in your eyes I've got evil on my brain And a mustard stain on my shirt You're licking your chops And looking at me Like you're considering a little dessert And I'm thinking to myself That a little taste couldn't hurt So if you're down for the ride Turn the engine over and let me drive We can raise a little hell tonight Just you and I Under the city lights And the summer sky And I won't let up till I can see the sun in your eyes

From a distance 02:51
lyrics
buy track
The world is distorted in my eyes And no one else can see what I can see I know this isn't really what it's like But still it's what I'm going to believe A lot of pretty girls in the world it seems A lot of girls I'd like to take up all my time And if I get the chance to keep one for my own I hope first that I can go blind Because they all look good from a distance But up close they're just like me And I haven't got a resistance To my own disease Yes they all look good from a distance Women like things about me But they don't really like me They like it when I stand there and smile And nod and respond politely Well I don't like to fight So I have learned to act nicely But acting as a hobby Can get kind of dicey When every girl is playing the same role And that's the role of the girl, of course And they all look good from a distance But up close they're just like me And I haven't got a resistance To my own disease Yes they all look good from a distance The world distorted in my eyes They all look good from a distance And no one else can see what I can see But up close they're just like me I know this isn't really what it's like And I haven't got a resistance But still it's what I'm going to believe To my own disease

The way you treat me baby Make me think that I'm cursed You've got me right where you want me You'll be last and you'll come first Cause I know you can do better than me darling So please don't do worse I'll do anything for you baby If you don't believe it just try me You can treat me bad honey I'll let it slide right on by me Cause I know you can do better than me darling You don't have to remind me Every time I see you leave me I worry this time it's for good I know you don't really need me I never expected that you would And I know you can do better than me darling But that don't mean you should I want to say one last thing baby Please understand that it's true Just got to say this one last thing One last thing before we're through We ain't really all that different baby I can do better than you too
