Lyrics

Wherever I May Roam

wastedLeave a comment

And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I’ll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I’ve grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean
The less I have, the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll never mind anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind
And I’ll take my find anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still I roam
Wherever I may roam

First things first
I’ma say all the words inside my head
I’m fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh

Second things second
Don’t you tell me what you think that I can be
I’m the one at the sail, I’m the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh

I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the…

Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain! Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh

I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited, ’til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like…

Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
Pain! I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You’re the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited, ’til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like…

Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain! You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
Pain! I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Battle Symphony

wastedLeave a comment

I got a long way to go and a long memory
I’ve been searching for an answer, always just out of reach
Blood on the floor, sirens repeat
I’ve been searching for the courage to face my enemies

When they turn down the lights
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake

They say that I don’t belong, say that I should retreat
That I’m marching to the rhythm of a lonesome defeat
But the sound of your voice puts the pain in reverse
No surrender, no illusions, and for better or worse

When they turn down the lights
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake

Broken, Beat & Scarred

You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Through black days
Through black nights
Through pitch black insides

The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred
But we die hard

Castaway

I’m on a sentimental journey into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the war that’s in my mind
Leaving in the lurch and I’m taking back what’s mine

I’m on a mission into destination unknown
An expedition in the desolation road where I’m a…

Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound, castaway

I’m riding on the night train and driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the boulevard
Spontaneous combustion in the corners of my mind
Leaving in the lurch and I’m taking back what’s mine

I’m on a mission into destination unknown
An expedition in the desolation road where I’m a…

Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound, castaway

Mom and Dad don’t look so hot these days
They’re getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I’ll just wait for mom and dad to die
And get my inheritance

Well, now I want more
‘Cause I’m getting bored
And I’m going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
But it’s all figured out
Well, nothing good can last

Crow’s feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parents’ income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I’m a snot-nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and dad don’t look so hot these days
But my future’s looking good

Well, now I want more
‘Cause I’m getting bored
And I’m going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
But it’s all figured out
Well, nothing good can last

I’m through with standing in line
To clubs I’ll never get in
It’s like the bottom of the ninth
And I’m never gonna win
This life hasn’t turned out
Quite the way I want it to be

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me

I’ll need a credit card that’s got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair and change my name

‘Cause we all just wanna be big rock stars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ’cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny in her bleach blond hair, and we’ll…
Hey, hey, I want to be a rock star
Hey, hey, I want to be a rock star

I want to be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free

I’m gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair and change my name

Show Me How to Live

In with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn’t buy an eye full of sleep
And in the aching night
Under sattelittes
I was not recieved
Built with the stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

In the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
Let this things remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me a life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

Ich hab ihr einen Kuss gestohlen
Sie wollte sich ihn wiederholen
Ich hab sie nicht mehr losgelassen
Verschmolzen so zu einer Masse
So ist es mir nur allzurecht
Ich bin ein schönes Zweigeschlecht
Zwei Seelen unter meiner Brust
Zwei Geschlechter eine Lust

Ich gehe anders durch den Tag
Ich bin der schönste Mensch von allen
Ich sehe wunderbare Dinge
Die sind mir vorher gar nicht aufgefallen
Ich kann mich jeden Tag beglücken
Ich kann mir selber Rosen schicken
Da ist kein zweiter und kein dritter
Eins und eins das ist gleich

Ich bin alleine doch nicht allein
Ich kann mit mir zusammen sein
Ich küsse früh mein Spiegelbild
Und schlafe abends mit mir ein
Wenn die anderen Mädchen suchten
Konnt ich mich schon selbst befruchten
So bin ich dann auch nicht verzagt
Wenn einer zu mir “Fick dich” sagt

Update: I’m straight, in case you were wondering. I’m kinky though.

The Enemy

Hey! Oh, Mr. Back-Stabbing-Son-of-a-Bitch
You’re livin’ in a world that’ll soon be dyin’
And I know, everybody knows you try to be like me
But even at your best as a man
You couldn’t equal half of me

You! You’re another shit talkin’ punk to me
You’re a living inspiration for what I never wanna be
I see you’ve been blinded by what you believe
Now back up and sit down, shut up and act like you need to be

I am realizing
That everybody’s lost their simple ways
And now that it’s here, I see it oh, so clearly
I’ve come face to face with the enemy
Oh, the enemy

So predicting, you’re the reason why I lie
Simple decision took me too much time to fly
Oh, check mate!
