Tilted

I only do these things to freak you out
I never wanted you to doubt me
I believe you/ Do I believe you
I try to block you out to hear myself
I can't believe I'm thinking to myself
Would I leave you/ In such suspense

I let it go and go and go
But what you're thinking through the silence
I really wish you understood
A couple of words get so much mileage

I never felt an urge to say a word
I'd rather listen to the din of
Other people closing in one me/ I lay in bed
And think of words that you should hear
I fall asleep and then they disappear
A fall from grace/ From memory

I hear a voice inside the silence
Speak your peace and all's forgotten
I hear the static on the line
Remember how this all got started

Remember/ Remember/ It's tilted

I turn away a minute disappears
I turn away in shame when I don't hear
What you're thinking/ Tell me what you're thinking
You take it out on me
You're not flaking out on me, are you
Turn it tilted/ Hey wait a minute

I never wanted you to be upset
But I can see you're trying to forget
What was said/ What was said
Don't try to hang me up again
Don't try to hang up on me wait up

Turn it tilted/ I need help it's

Remember/ Remember/ It's tilted

Judas Cradle

Like the spider spins the web
It goes back to your beliefs
What you said you never said
You're trying hard to find relief
It's not telling truth or lies
It's about convenience
To throw stones and you look stoned
Could you lie and mean it
You'd rock it if you were able
Can you hang with Judas Cradle
Rock me baby off to sleep
Now you've fallen in too deep
You'd rock it if you were able
Can you hang with Judas Cradle

My hands/ Means nothing/ To Me

Have you seen the Judas Cradle
Inbetween the Judas Cradle

As the point gets driven home
You lose your resistance
Splits you down the middle man
And increase the distance
You'd rock it if you were able
Can you hang with Judas Cradle
Throw me back into the fire
Peel the skin away from bones
As the smoke keeps rising higher
As the Judas Cradle moans
Have you seen the Judas Cradle
Inbetween the Judas Cradle

Could you rock the Judas Cradle
Can you rob the Judas Cradle
Hung upon the Judas Cradle
Fall upon the Judas Cradle

I'm on a holiday wasting my time away
Writing a book on you born on a holiday
In the December snow wasting my time away
Writing a book on you born on a holiday

Somewhere in this song
A little clue to something (clue to something)
Parts of it seem over now
You expect a real solution (real solution)
I've got to go with what I know
Taking it on a holiday away

I've done my share of drugs (they drag me down)
I've done my share of speed (it kept me up)
I've had the strangest love (it's all I need)
I've had the things I need (I need it now)

When everthing seems wrong
I need to look to something (look to something)
People outside inside staying
Out for nothing (out for nothing)
And if you're in I can't let go
Short of the long holiday
I think you know what I've been saying

When there's nothing left to all
The colors that you sprayed upon it
Passing judgment on my life
You never really got it right
I can't believe in anything
I don't believe in anything
Do you believe in anything

Do you believe me now

Look like Jesus Christ
Act like Jesus Christ I know...
Here's your Jesus Christ
I'm your Jesus Christ I know...

Bleeding to death again (my bleeding heart)
Stuck in the heart again (goes out to you)
Somebody nail my hands (I needed pain)
Somebody take my hand (I bleed again)

I knew it all along and now
We're screwed forever (screwed forever)
Shake these demons off my back
And I can make it better (make it better)
But I can't go on knowing I am
Permanent on this holiday
I think you know what I am saying

I became the big disgrace
I know that I'm the ugly face
I need some time to reconcile
I need some time to heal a while

You'll be sorry when I'm gone
I guess you knew this all along

Feeling Better

You can walk away
But you can't forget what was said
And I can run away
Pull the covers over my head

Try to get away but I fall back again
I get up off the floor I'm coming back for more
(You need it/ You get some hate
You found it/ But it's too late)

Try to wear a smile and brush it all aside
I'm starting over now I'll try to sort it out somehow
(Hope you're feeling better
I'm not bitter yet/ You're fading through the years)

I guess that I should stay
Stay around like I always do
'cause if I ran away
There's no place I'd be going to

More than anything I want to work it out
It's never easy when you're falling down again
(You need it/ You get some hate
You found it/ But it's too late)
I keep breaking down it's more than I can take
You pull me off the floor I'm coming back for more
(Hope you're feeling better/ I'm not bitter yet/
You're fading through the years)

Where in the hell do you think you are
And who ever thought you'd get this far
And was the travel worth the time
It's time to open up your mind
I choose to give the gift of sight
The right to choose to give a life
The right to die the right to teach
To think you're right but not to preach
I've often wondered where you've been
Could someone go through this again
Another journey down that road
Prepared to bear a heavy load
I gave you everything I could
I gave you everything I had
There's nothing left for me to say
I guess it's time to walk away

Walking Away

Walking away back to you I do
Walking away back to you
I'm walking away yeah what more can I say
Waling away back to you

I'm walking way back to you I do
Walking away back to you I do
What more can I say as I'm walking away
Walking away back to you I do
