Turning in circles, slowing down Pulling against a closing out Easy to feed off a weaker thing Harder to say what I really mean Hollow as a mountain all tunneled and drilled below Hollow as a mountain crowned with a cold, blue sky All of your colors turn to grey Don’t even matter anyway Bleeding impressions where you were tied Can’t really say how you lost your mind Hollow as a mountain all tunneled and drilled below Hollow as a mountain crowned with a cold Hollow as a mountain all tunneled and drilled below Hollow as a mountain crowned with a cold, blue sky Silence so loud, silence I can’t tell my up from down Silence so loud, Silence I can’t tell my uṗ from down All of the faces life can show Withered and ugly the one you know Hollow as a mountain all tunneled and drilled below Hollow as a mountain crowned with a cold, blue sky Silence so loud, silence I can’t tell my up from down Silence so loud, Silence I can’t tell my up from down

So you got the thing you wanted Don't let it go though it hurts your hand to hold it Don't let it show I'm pretty done Once a favored son I'm pretty done Slap me 'round for fun Finding no pleasant changes In old enemies Not a lead a bit part playing In my story I'm pretty done Once a favored son I'm pretty done Slap me 'round for fun I don't care to further amuse you Never had you how, could I lose you? Paid in full, I owe no one at all I'm supposed to smile and ignore it Better than some High roads are to fall from Already hung I'm pretty done Once a favored son I'm pretty done Slap me 'round for fun Pushing towards hopeless mission Curiosity, omission History colored since the fall I'm pretty done I'm pretty done I'm pretty done I'm pretty done

I know you think I'm wrong, but I'm not your tour guide Haven't guessed it, don't let them look inside Cold Dry Stone What makes you want to carve your initials in me? Rain and weather erasing hard to read Find me distant, our world erupt obscene Cold Dry Stone Cold and dry Stone Cold and dry Stone I'm not a cornerstone in a palace for you Time will bring you, hear it, hold on truth Not to worry, ice covered rocks still move Cold Dry Stone Cold Dry Stone

Who am I? Is this me? Am I wrong? Or thirteen? I've gone cold Hard to deal Used to stand Where I kneel Everybody listen Voices in my head Everybody listen Cause you'll see what mine says I want more Than I need I don't know What is real Everybody listen Voices in my head Everybody listen Cause you'll see what mine says Every time I listen Voices in my head Everybody listen Cause you'll see what mine says Whispering their names Faces, uniforms I've worn Now that it's gone Always climbing To fall down again Holding on to everything It's not what it seems I've been told Dreaming's free Think I'll go Back to sleep Everybody listen Voices in my head Everybody listen Cause you'll see what mine says Every time I listen Voices in my head Everybody listen Cause you'll see what mine says Calling out their names Faces, uniforms I've worn Now that it's gone Always climbing To fall down again Holding on to everything It's not what it seems

Anybody out there Anyone at all Can you finally hear this deep in Scratching through the wall Came far to find me Down the rabbit hole Watch me smiling back while chewing on my skull I know, won't forget Limped away from the wreck Is the monkey breathing Looking kinda sick Got a witty comment for me Have yourself a kick Does it make you feel good Are you full and strong Gonna end up in this cage and I hope your stay is long I know, won't forget Limped away from the wreck We'll never know what this is 'til we take a look inside I'm sure we'll find what came before it dies We'll never know what this is 'til we take a look inside I'm sure we'll find what came before Had enough, I don't need you to stick my hide Had enough, no more tears for me left to cry Had enough, I don't need you to blind my eyes Had enough, no more tears for me left to cry I know, won't forget Limped away from the wreck We'll never know what this is 'til we take a look inside I'm sure we'll find what came before it dies We'll never know what this is 'til we take a look inside I'm sure we'll find what came before it dies Had enough, I don't need you to stick my hide Had enough, no more tears for me left to cry Had enough, I don't need you to blind my eyes Had enough, no more tears for me left to cry

Old mister fun is back Wonder where he's been hiding at Hanging round the edge Walls unfortified, inside No different, patchwork hack Toil away on an unlaid track Falls closing in, got nowhere to hide This time Finding ceilings low I'm too big or this room's too small Why's my ceiling another's floor Past twisted, expected wrap Attention span increasingly short Hard to breathe, this altitude will get you high I've tried Finding ceilings low I'm too big or this room's too small Why's my ceiling another's floor And nobody can tell you It's a moment in time That defines and deforms you Finding ceilings low I'm too big or this room's too small Why's my ceiling another's floor And nobody can tell you It's your moment in time Write me over, false reporter Can't you let me shine Write me over, false reporter Can't you let me shine And nobody can tell you It's a moment in time That defines and deforms you

I mending fence along the road Barely holding together Mapless zone the road signs holes Keep ahead of the weather Long past time to close dead eyes Find a break in the highway Out here I'm invisible Very few going my way Breath on a window showing tic tac toe Rear view reflecting there ain't nobody home Ghost town strip of misery I ain't feeling no better Road kill heart inside of me Follow it to the letter Sundown brings a welcome change Everything that's hiding More at home in landscapes strange Are you selling I'm buying Breath on a window showing tic tac toe Rear view reflecting there ain't nobody home Cigarette burn holes outline an old soul Connect the dot scribbling And you would never know Failed to heed the signal Thought you got through just in time Crashing hard upon your ego Penetrated from the side I'd let you go, but you're always in the way I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday I'd love to go, but you're always in the way I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday

Road narrows, pouring down I'm breaking without a sound Bits and pieces of trying Get what you pay for, nothing Frozen dreaming of yesterday Potent, creeping I'm far away From my hometown I lit out To save my skin and shed some doubt I know how false the floor How high the sky Been down that road before It's a lie, you hide in someone else Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself Hard as truth is, been my friend Don't need to be invited in I'll go round 'til bested Pick up myself and try again I know how false the floor How high the sky Been down that road before It's a lie, you hide in someone else Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself All comes in time Don't fight it, don't mind it Whatever may come I know how false the floor How high the sky Been down that road before It's a lie, you hide in someone else Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself

No hope of rescue I'm trapped here alone If I don't dig my own way out I'll die here Gave my loyalty too soon Now the fork-tongued viper's dead ... Is dead yeah yeah Weather is shiftin' So cold goin' up Through a pinhole of light I see vultures circlin' Bottom feeders dig my skin Winner bring a parasite With him Weak or pulverized No better medicine Angels have been advised Don't want no requiem I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb Gonna wear you like a second skin I'll haunt you like a phantom limb Every new second Getting harder to break No matter which side I end up on This ain't over My regrets are very true Still so much was lies (again?)... By you Weak or pulverized No better medicine Angels have been advised Don't want no requiem I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb Gonna wear you like a second skin I'll haunt you like a phantom limb

Hung on a hook I'm a mirror Cracked down the center I split you Counting the clouds in a storm behind your eyes Show you the face of a man who Not that he wants but he has to Look at the thing he's become, what I see I'm caught in a still life with no frame Sometimes people do, the world it don't change Give up awaiting someday Future between a gun and your head Pieces of me on a tile floor Look up at you as you change more Floating in fear I appear a hundred times Hold a reflection inside me I cannot feel you are empty Throw me away I am broken not your time I'm caught in a still life with no frame Sometimes people do, the world it don't change Give up awaiting someday Future between a gun and your head Not gonna save you Perform euthanasia

Thought you asked for something better You should know I practiced that goodbye Are you so deprived Think you're doing me a favour I don't need no lesser savior, alright Doin fine Fragile things so close together Taped up, broken from the fall Part of something All of nothing Very long high way to fall Go then, if you don't feel right Livin' in our home Choking, eat your pride Eat your pride alone X2 Need less tension, The walls around you Built before you came to tear them down It was you I found Take some time to think it over If it's so hard to walk this world, we might Then it's time to say goodbye Fragile things so close together Taped up, broken from the fall Part of something All of nothing Very long high way to fall Go then, if you don't feel right Livin' in our home Choking, eat your pride Eat your pride alone X2 (Solo) So go then, if you don't feel right Livin' in our home Choking, eat your pride Eat your pride alone If you don't feel right Livin in our home Eat your pride alone
