Wake the Dead

You been messin' with the wrong magic, such a dirty woman
What a fool to play this game
But you're getting real good at it, tryna get the dead to talk
You got bad intentions on your face
It's just a matter of time baby, for you get what comes to you
Don't wake what already is sleeping
But you gotta do it right baby, if you wanna call demons
Don't close your eyes and look away
You wanna wake the dead
Wont you tell me what you need
If it's too demonic; what lies buried underneath
The dearly departed, they want only just to feed
Now the flesh is rotted and the bodies start to breathe
She down in New Orleans, tryna learn those voodoo tricks
She got mood rings stretched across her fingers
She fresh on the scene baby, bracelets all on her wrists
She got black mink stretched across her shoulders
I wont go walkin' out on you, if you don't go walkin' out
I wont go walkin' out on you, if you don't go walkin' out
(Wait a minute now)
You been lookin' so fine lately, I think i'm fallin' in love with you
The way you move is so devine yeah
Ooh lovely devil woman, look at the mess you're makin'
You leave a trail of Hell behind
You wanna wake the dead
Wont you tell me what you need
If it's too demonic; what lies buried underneath
The dearly departed, they want only just to feed
Now the flesh is rotted and the bodies start to breathe
Oh watch out she might just spill innocent blood
The beast will chase you if anyone runs
Watch out she might just spill innocent blood
The beast will catch you if anyone runs

Cheat on Me
03:31
|

The walls inside our home are thin
I heard you talkin' about him
And how you're much more than just friends
Smelled his cologne inside our bedroom
Tell me, how did we end up in this mess
I wonder If anything's left
I should of held my tongue around you
Those things i said i didn't mean to hurt you
Don't walk away and say your goodbyes
Cause I know you're gonna cheat on me
I come home late each night from work
Drink till our love no longer hurts
Smoke till the flame no longer burns
Pray to god I never found you
You're rainin' down on me too much
You turn the hillsides into mud
Your love it moves me like a hurricane
Those things i said i didn't mean to hurt you
Don't walk away and say your goodbyes
Cause I know you're gonna cheat on me
Those things i said i didn't mean to hurt you
Don't walk away and say your goodbyes
Cause I know you're gonna cheat on me
I'm drowning in your tears
But i can't swim away (no i wont now)
Cause I know I can't make you stay
If you stay, i'll never treat you that way
Again I swear it on our children that i'll never take it out on you

Ghost Outside My Door
03:24

I'm sorry that it happened girl I never meant to hurt you
But I just couldn't make it stopped
Flying high and sick as hell I might have had the bird flu
I thought for sure that i'd get caught
And now I've got your ghost inside my house to keep me up at night
I should be crazy but i'm not
The preachers came to bless the house and exorcise the demons
But every night I hear you knock
Knock knock knockin' on my door
Late at night
Screaming bloody murder out your lungs
I'm crying out for more
And I don't know
Where to put the body when I'm done
I know you wont forgive me so you'll never rest in peace
What is it that you really want
Cause every night you keep me up preventing me from sleeping
All I can do is walk it off
And think about the night I did you wrong and left you there to die
I couldn't bare to watch you rot
If this is what you want i'll put a bullet in my head for you
Then I wont have to hear you knock
Knock knock knockin' on my door
Late at night
Screaming bloody murder out your lungs
I'm crying out for more
And I don't know
Where to put the body when I'm done
I don't hear you any more
There's no more knocking at my door
I finally am free
Free from you and all the sleepless nights
But your face is still carved in my brain

You wanna keep my hands tide behind me in a noose
So I don't think 'bout runnin' away from you
Look it how you treat me, did you notice things have changed
The hand cuffs were playful, now i'm locked up, wrapped in chains
With a rope around my neck and my head in a plastic bag
I'll be OK, I'll be just fine
Cause I'm right where I should be with a blade in my artery
Death is release, release my mind
Ooooh My head is spinning faster
Just like a rollin-rollacoaster
Ooooh My headache's boiling over
Too much pressure in my head, kill the motor
The water in the bathtub turns a candy apple red
The decorated tiles disappear in my head
With a rope around my neck and my head in a plastic bag
I'll be OK, I'll be just fine
Cause I'm right where I should be with a blade in my artery
Death is release, release my mind
Ooooh My head is spinning faster
Just like a rollin-rollacoaster
Ooooh My headache's boiling over
Too much pressure in my head, kill the motor

Full Speed

Preyed on by the hungry
Who crowd in downtown bars
Sweet talk you with their lips
Bring you home on evenings
Their wives have gone away
Use you till they sleep
And when they fall asleep
You crawl out of the bedroom
And drive off in your car
Cryin' as your speeding
You know that they don't need ya
They never have before ( they never have before)
But you don't care no more
It shows but you forget about it because no one knows
It's hidden in the pocket of your overcoat
Shinin' through your wallet as you overdose
You know you'll never make it so you go for broke
Nobody knows who's to blame
Cause nothings ever garunteed
But you know that a house ignites
If you fill it up with kerosene
Bottles of the champagne life
Spill upon the drivers seat
And no one's there to say goodbye
When you crash going at full speed
Particles of windshields tear into your veins
Lying on the concrete
No one 'round for miles, headlights still shine bright
Illuminate your blood (your lovely blood)
As you try to stand up
The road is darkened by your thoughts but you still go alone
You're seein' things that are not there an overload
Stuck inside the madness like you're comatose
You burn the evidence because you never know
Nobody knows who's to blame
Cause nothings ever garunteed
But you know that a house ignites
If you fill it up with kerosene
Bottles of the champagne life
Spill upon the drivers seat
And no one's there to say goodbye
When you crash going at full speed

Where Do We Go
04:02

I'm a run away, king of the playground
Look at what we have become
Howlin' at the moon, what the fuck were we thinkin'
Remember when we were still young
I wanna hide my face from the world as I know it
Nothing ever good this way comes
Oh my my I'm a mess
Show me where I can hide when I'm out of control
Tell me where it is we go
When It's tough for us to keep it all together
These thoughts awry are hard till
The things we know
That have kept us up late at night forever
Am I going off the rails
I wanna hide away deep in the shadows
Way out where no one can reach
Where the river ends down by the meadow
Away from the city light heat
Oh my my I'm a mess
Show me where I can hide when I'm out of control
Tell me where it is we go
When It's tough for us to keep it all together
These thoughts awry are hard till
The things we know
That have kept us up late at night forever
Am I going off the rails
Oh my my I'm a mess
Something's driving me crazy and I'm starting to lose control
Tell me where it is that we go

Kill Like an Animal
03:59

These voices I can hear them
Out of my head, they wont leave
No potion or medication has done a thing to stop the screamin'
Oh why me?
They tell me that I've been tied up and locked away
But i cant see it
Illusions that stand around me
Have kept e down and held me way back
But I can't stand the waitin'
What should I do now
And then the voices they tell me
Kill kill like an animal
Somebody just let off the leash
And collect the tears of children as they tremble at your feet
Kill like an animal
Don't be afraid to show your teeth
And attack them by their trachea and drag them to their knees
Live like an animal
These visions haunt my daydreams
Like savages in my head now
I need it but I don't want it to go away
I guess this is payback for all those years of waiting
Around for something, now is the time to strike
They tell me
Kill kill like an animal
Somebody just let off the leash
And collect the tears of children as they tremble at your feet
Kill like an animal
Don't be afraid to show your teeth
And attack them by their trachea and drag them to their knees
Live like an animal

Edge of Sunrise

Let me be your animal, you're the only one that I ever dream of
And every time I dream of you, it turns me on
So every time I think about you, it's with bad intentions
And cruel disguises
But I love that head, while I'm in REM
Before I fall asleep, you're all that I think about
I think about you dirty, so when I am dreaming
We will meet up at last
And then we gonna get it get it, gone get it on
Until we wake up, till that moment we're in love
Can't stop kissin' with our tongues
In slumberland I'm king, I can give you anything
Just as long as you're dreaming of me
Hey now, you look beautiful tonight
In this dream filled with wonderful light
That floats outside the edge of sunrise
Where I can see the universe in your eyes
Let's slide over the ice inside our wonderland
Where it's always snowing, but it ain't ever cold
So take off your clothes
So we can get it get it gone get it on
Until we wake up, till that moment we're in love
Can't stop kissin' with our tongues
In slumberland I'm king, I can give you anything
Just as long as you're dreaming of me
Hey now, you look beautiful tonight
In this dream filled with wonderful light
That floats outside the edge of sunrise
Where I can see the universe in your eyes

Grow to Love It
03:30
|

I can't say if I'll be back but I had to leave it
I couldn't stay there
They say that change is good for something
And it ain't so bad here, I'll grow to love it
Sniff a line here and there when we were straight brewin'
Never thought i'd be the guy who would take to it
Now we do it every time when we make music
Had to do another line just to stay fluid
Things went a little out of control, shit got ahold of me
So I gotta go, gotta leave, Idaho might be better for me right now
Sick of of days with the pain of a hangover
And another chick in bed that had stayed over
Didn't even know her name she's a grade lower
Just another year played and a day older
I ain't gettin' any younger, I've been livin' on the edge too long
Gotta move on, make a change, sing a new song
Instead of layin' on my futon
I can't say if I'll be back but I had to leave it
I couldn't stay there
They say that change is good for something
And it ain't so bad here, I'll grow to love it
After only 6 months, I didn't know I'd miss my friends this much
Not every man has a pack like this bunch
Can no one rock a track like fish does
Can no one spit a rap like Kap does
We're playing Kontrasa off the top it was no writtens
We made it a monster every where we go with it
Till people got annoyed said it's so stupid
Fuck them they just don't get it!
We would practice at our craft upon the page
Writing rhymes till the sun came up
Another line another line too much
Gemini there's another side to the white line crutch
Mama said she didn't know why I had to go
Said i'm spending time with pops up in Idaho
I'll be back maybe i'll be back, I don't know
This is something that I gotta do on my own
I can't say if I'll be back but I had to leave it
I couldn't stay there
They say that change is good for something
And it ain't so bad here, I'll grow to love it
Panic and I'm out of my xanax, I'm manic,
Yeah i'm going bananas, I'm crashing, gettin' too hard to manage
I've had it, I just need to get past this
I can't do it anymore, death is what I have in store
For me if I keep on going, drinking till I don't wake up
Never can I take enough, I'll never let it take me from
Another day to wake the sun, I gotta leave the place I'm from

Werewolf Necromancer
03:28

She doin' that dance, makin' up plans, keepin' her hands against me
I think she in love, in love with this night, It's all she hoped it would be
I know you're mad I got this bad bitch all over my D,
Holdin' my hand sayin', I can't wait to take you back
She doin' her thang, movin' like flames, puttin' her scratches on me
And she was like wow, look at the smile, I didn't know that you sing
I'm takin' all the bad bitches home with me, home for the eve
She makin' a mess, k9's red cause she's got blood on her teeth
She lives in shadows but she's stuck in the light
She keeps her skeletons inside when she's dancing on the table
She's howling crazy and there's blood on her teeth
Yeah she's a werewolf in disguise, an impressive necromancer
I can tell that you can go all night, You aint a stranger to the victim of a bite
I no you aint new to this, you know it like a rudament
Problem is you don't fool any fool with your aggressive nature
The lifestyle that you wager, occasional fits of anger suit you well enough and I know,
Look at you now, she can devour just about anyone she wants
And if you walk by better keep your mouth closed cause you wouldn't wanna risk getting caught
And i guess you could assume that you knew better
Damn was she wrong
She got a black magic habit and she growls when she talks
She lives in shadows but she's stuck in the light
She keeps her skeletons inside when she's dancing on the table
She's howling crazy and there's blood on her teeth
Yeah she's a werewolf in disguise, an impressive necromancer
She don't know when it's over, give it time
She don't know when it's over, give it time
She got her high heels on a tight dressed dawned upon her tight as can be
She finna get high just when the moon rise I hear her howling at me
I know that the moon is your mistress, I heard that you talk
But while you're human can we just pretend you're something you're not
