Staring at the Divine

I set the trap for the clever rat Had him hooked when he smelled the food Surprised myself with the catch Lacing the bait with solid truth Seems to work like a weak willed fool It's something you can't refuse [Chorus] Suspended in the air held up high by the tail Easy to escape the cage but not the scent Left on your trail Showing teeth from cheek to cheek Guarding your wants ignoring needs Thief or riches heartless and cold Waiting till 12 to crawl out of your hole If only you knew I was standing with a net Against the wall [Chorus-add on] Won't vanish in a couple of days It'll probably take months Which is something You don't have many of

Hold your laughter, soon right after The facts are brought to our attention Barely notice what you know best Which is almost nothing [Chorus] Why is there always a reason? Or something you're your whining about I've heard the same old story It's growing extremely boring See right through your innocence Nice disguise the excuses Could have been better, not terrible For the first try. Quarts of turmoil dripping quickly Out of the leaking mouth of yours Skidding tires, fumes inspire no Caution flags to prevent the danger I'll make it easy if that's what you want. Just hit the highway, when I need you I'll phone. Don't bother sending any letters to ask if tempers have cooled since the night you left. I haven't bothered turning the porch light on. I think it's quite clear this isn't your home anymore. Who's ever closest I don't notice anyone waiting for your return. You ought to know this it came from your lips with the rest of the obvious lies My reactions are distractions for pleasing my own sick humor Short conversations, complications you've got to watch what you say This disaster arriving soon twisting the truth with each phase of the moon Is this what the future holds for me? Now I've found a certain type of honesty No make believe or bullshit from you.

This world's holding me by the throat Choking my words with nylon rope As I swing in morning brightness Weakened from a war I cannot win Only pills will destroy accidental sins Another rough road to recovery My shadow wrestles the walls while passing By the same existing hall that leads to a place Where worried minds can rest their torment Eternal rage [x3] for a sudden change [Chorus] If it's money you're after I'm not a wealthy man If it's power you're after I'll give what I can Whose bridge did I burn? Normal living turned disastrous A dark image painted with the desire once lost Through the year of several broken hearts I have caused Revenge has taken its toll Weather stubborn or forgiving every bit of control is yours to operate This illness infects the sense we trust Passion kills not one but all of us As the connection scrambles and crumbles to dust Eternal rage x3 for a sudden change Teardrops from an upset clod Penetrating my open sores Clear needles of salt decide As I painfully wait for a cure

Her devilish eyes keep the honest man wondering if lounges in the nude I can't see any scales but I'm sure there's horns under her hair Tempt me taste me There's plenty of evil to share with her Kissing goes on and on Until the lust is gone With gifted touch she holds your emotions in a bottle air tight and plastic sealed One last breathe of simple defeat then she'll scratch you off the list Number 3 or 13 is better than dead last Should've known you'd tag along like the rest of the idiots Tearing men to shreds with every bite she takes Forget amends they'll also break The whore I adore Closer to the deadly strike Poisonous fingers wipe off the itch of frustration Troublesome Clenching with solid might Forever loosing the fight Stop showing how much it hurts That's just something else she likes

My time alone was well spent but now seems wasted Even thought I had grown old enough to shy away from childish decisions Keeping occupied with limited pleasure and hours of sorrow to hide I'm burning alive every moment on fire everyday of my life [Chorus] Tried facing the world one on one Yet fairness has always remained unknown Letting go Changing inside hidden by my expressions on the outside Praying that sunrise will brighten the darkness of a once peaceful mind Sleepless again drenched in sweat pillows collapse with sheets to shed the fragile wood Frame bends beneath my head This knife stuck in my side crooked and wide The blocking of blood steal bone collide Leaving me helpless completely defenseless My access denied [x4] Who was it that said all wounds will heal Guess they were never ill Explanations only for some of us How close can one come to the doorstep of death? Before the bell is rung A few already know... already know My time alone was well spent but now seems wasted Even thought I had grown old enough to shy away from childish decisions Keeping occupied with limited pleasure and hours of sorrow to hide I'm burning alive every moment on fire everyday of my life

Satisfy my tortuous strain With ease of a simple yes Magnified to triple the pain Loves most dangerous test [Chorus] Why sacrifice for one who knows You'll be at her beck and call Whenever she asks There isn't a reason to complain She's only acting for laughs Pinching nerves pounding buttons Another loss on your behalf I find your courtesy An absolute shame Take care of yourself Make her do the same I'm exhausted From repeating My suggestions Are a waste of breath Coping with jealousy Strange stares outside the circle Creating a scenery Of hatred from the real you

A lonely intruder surrounded with emptiness Screaming silently A single minute constructed with seconds building to subtract Pieces of positive matter Breaking free as it shatters Twilight arrival leveled dim horizon Peeking through my window Desperately watching Offering some advice I closed the blinds Sure you come peacefully If only I knew what was involved [Chorus] You'd probably cry a few drops 'Cause I already have Looked to the sky for a savior That I never had Four corners joining holding this structure Together delicately Barely awakes while comfort dissolves Below my angled posture Visions of a final chapter A happier ending six pages after [Chorus-add on] Swearing there's some kind of heaven above Yet who really knows? If something lies outside our souls I'm sure it's controlled

If I left tomorrow would you notice? This familiar town's getting the best of me Whispers on sidewalks Steady shit talk when you're not around The story turns so many directions Getting lost doesn't sound too bad [Chorus] Maybe I'll see you somewhere down the road If not, that's all right either way Open your eyes quit being blinded By the nonsense wrong does bring Keep facing forward 'cause you're falling backward without any idea That the people smiling haven't a clue who'll be popular next year [Chorus-add on] Only fools will rush for the gold If only they knew it's painted yellow Quick stop the bottom drops lower than you want to feel Might as well kneel First start blown apart begging for another chance to correct mistakes Why should I try fixing broken wings you'll never fly? With bricks strapped on your waste line sinking in mud and tears Move a little faster or you'll get run over Pick up the speed or else head for cover Once again Map out a safe route don't travel on a clouded mind leave worries behind There are enough situations to face save your strength I'm saving mine You've latched on this long yet your grip seems to loosen weaken Slipping through the palms of a gentle hand I thought you were a careful man Farewell old city At least for right now See you soon Sooner than I want

Through the years of chasing dreams Steady moving onward in our 350 Still broke as hell but enjoying the routine Sure a couple of faces changed Must have been for the best 'cause I can't complain When everyone's still giving 100% Our times together get better as we see the world through glass and mirrors Seems like when we're on the road the troubles back home disappear 6 in all ready to brawl for a sleazy motel bed If we can't have that a friend's floor is fine We just need a few hours of rest Could you help us with that? Early morning wake with a band mates shake Half asleep beside another's feet The daylong drive to a nightclub dive Repeating the process tomorrow and the night after several weeks straight Now everyone's been sick at least once or twice My pleasant queen-size sure sounds nice After a month of drunken humor our jokes get old like our wardrobes And we're ready to make our way back to the southern border
