Save meFrom this season's dead airTake meBlind naked scaredWant you to burn me, burn me babyCover your eyes with my ashesC'mon why don't you pray for meSit back and watch my divine spark flash
Chorus:GoneGood riddance I'm goneGone in a wasted wayWasted my way I'm gonePush and pull on me babyWith your fingernails full of furI want you to stab meDo it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurtChorusJinx me, jinx me babyBeautiful like a foolC'mon and remove meDilated and burnedChorus

Did you ever hearThe one about last yearIt was all a lieAin't it funny how the time fliesWhat we gonna do babyWhat is left for us to proveI've never stolen nothing, not a thingTried to stay away form this year'sBig thingAin't as easy as it seemsTo find a mutual dreamCan you tell me wrong from rightDo you know when to freeze or take flightCan you tell me more or lessI got to know-confessChorus:Don't neglect meCome be my conspiracyDon't neglect meCome be my conspiracyNow you got a question about your answerSay try your Adam's appleYou talk it try it bite it rightSo now you want to fight? okLet's step outsideI got tradition in additionMy definition it don't hold me backWell what you think about thatWhat you don't understandThis is a very old landCan you tell me wrong from rightDo you know when to freeze or take flightCan you tell me more or lessI got to know-confessChorus

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mindOther times sunshine high head fineIn between I get cold, old meanIntertwined with country pride open and kindThis draws a lineSorry to coin a phraseOn either side is wisdom and rageSo keeping track of timeRacing with my ageSleeping with the snakesForget that you showed up lateIt ain't worth it babyChorus:A charmed life it isAt least they tell yo soI got a good ideaIt ain't like they say is soAnd if it is then let me goLet me goAny day there might be hell to payBut in other waysIt makes it seem okI'll tell you what I meanIt's not a plot nor a schemeIt's just peace in my mindAgain can I use the word kindI ain't sorry about it babyChorus

I lose myselfI forget myselfSometimes I fault myselfI might fight myselfBut then I make amendsI freeze myselfRain on myselfOK, so I stone myselfAnd I might even find myselfBut then again what happens if I doSo unzip my prideOpen me up wideSo I can show this to youChorus:I want to shine for youI want to sparkle tooJust like a diamond cursedWell you know it don't get worseYou know that I'll save you timeYour trouble now is mineHold me babyHold me girlAnd I will laugh with youIf you want me toRoll me in your splendorI'll envy your surrenderAnd show you victoryI hate myselfDoesn't everybody hate themselvesI scare myselfThen I tell myself it's all in my mindSo I let the poison go'Cause I always knowIt will be there for meChorus

I don't know my telephone numberBut you kiss good and I'd like toSee you tomorrowAnd I don't beg, I pay, I don't barterAnd if we had a child I'd like a son,Not a daughter'Cause she'd be just like youYou know that would not doI'm no builder, I'm no gardenerI sing some songs, have a friendWho's a photographerThere ain't no other languageI know how to speakSome like their water shallowAnd I like mine deepTied to the bottomWith a noose around my feetChorus:The clouds conspireAbove my headI overheard themSay I wish he was deadToday the sunsetBurned my eyesAnd in the next room I hear someone cryI like to dress up like the juryTo eat like a king, to poke fun at clergyTo talk like dirtTo love yo like tarBut never fall in too fastWith my north starWhile you pull your hair outI buy the drinks at the barChorus

I've been lost in the headlightsAll night longSaid I've felt taller, yes I heardThe dealer's songSay babe don't mark me absentI only missed out by a fractionBe the sun that bursts through my cloudsIt's hard enough just living on this groundChorus:Say don't pretend to meI beg and I plead, your sunflower I needThought nothing would surprise meI was wrong now I seeCome on baby and just do me if you pleaseThis made me reminiscingAbout the honey we madeI feel warm in your blizzardAnd your flood I craveI won't abuse my angerI promise you no lectureCome be the sun bursting through my cloudsIt's hard enough just living on the groundChorus

I am a cobwebIn the corner of the roomI tell you I built myself a beat babySo c'mon and cry me a monsoon
Get busy on itAnd make it deep
Chorus:Imagine how surprised all the kids will beEmpty bottles, saviors they crawlThat has always been and will always beThere's a hornet's nest in my head,Come and save me
If I don't say nothingYou say now tell us what to doSo I tell ya'll this is just how I liveSomeone else calls it the newsBut that's yesterdayYesterday's news

Here with meAnd this price you payJust a wishful dream could be blown awayAsk yourself for better or worseBecause what's the use if it's just good luckA black cat has crossed my pathTell me what's good luck about thatChorus:Hate and greedSwollen and sweetLet's start this miseryIf that's where you wanna beFear and loveFrom down or form up aboveCome to meCome to meI bet you pleaseCome set me freeExcuse me pleaseFor my definitionBut deeper still are my convictionsUrgently I wait to hear an answerWhile I misconducta sad lost anthemAn anthem like you have never heardHave you heard something so absurdChorus

No time left now for shameHorizon behind me, no more painWindswept stars blink and smileAnother song, another mile
You read the line every timeAsk me about crime in my mindAsk me why another road songFunny but I bet you never left home
Chorus:On a good day, I know it aint every dayWe can part the seaAnd on a bad day, I know it aint every dayGlory beyond our reach
Fourteen seconds until sunriseTired but wiser for the timeLightning 30 miles awayThree thousand more in two days
Chorus 2x

To my low down downtownMoney wasterYour only saving graceIs that I like to taste yaBut your flower is spoiledToo easy to make yaYou got a .38 and your book of revelationsI got a .44 and a lead of temptationChorus:I am a rounder, like to round aroundTwo for one at the store on the cornerLittle girl like to drink and sniffin' powdersLike the bars that stay open after hoursLike the boys that go 24-7Too many late nights and you don't go to heavenChorus
