When Alone

It's only in the dark I see

Shine your light away from me

I keep trying to pray off my disease

I wait in silence and God won't speak

This empty old room, dusty, desolate and cold...

Only when alone, only when I feel ashamed

Only when alone, only when my temper's tamed

Just hold me close and let it be

Exhale your breath all over me

The darkest nights and bloody fights

Always wrong and never right

We beat the odds just one more time

Eating the leftover dust and grime

Only when alone, only when I can see the end

Only when alone, only when my wounds can mend

I paint my face in colors dark

Hiding the truth from all of you

The man I was, no doubt has died

The devil always lets his victims cry

Mountains crumbling, the sky then falls

A pretty ending after all

Only when alone, only when the people crowd

Only when alone, only when I scream aloud

Only when alone, only when I hear that sound...

Only when I'm alone, only when the meaning's found

Greaser Sleeze

Bleeding out on the floors of nowhere
In the wake, in the dawn, of nowhere
Pushing hard, pushing fast to nowhere
You'll always find me here, in nowhere

Die..die..die..die..

On the phone, all alone in nowhere
Growing old in the cold of nowhere
Drink your tea of ecstasy in nowhere
Say your piece as I grieve in nowhere

Why..why..why..why..

We are..dead heart..bad start..

Dead heeeeart!!!

For all the truth holds..

These haunting visions growing deeper in my memory
Encompassing my roots!

The pleasure that I felt all those years ago
Has been buried under ashes where no one knows
I'll be waiting in the 11th hour just before you die
This rage that I feel will only grow in size
The patience that I lack implore for quick relief
Revered by some, despised by all..

For all the truth holds
Death in despair
For all the truth holds..

The pressure in my skull reaches levels unknown to most
I keep asking why!

Serpents and arachnid's begin to fill the streets
The sun rises for the last time and it's all I see
I cannot tell by this time if the war is won
But it's never frowned upon to bring your gun
Wallowing in this eternal storm of regret and shame
Forgiven by some, abhorred by all

For all the truth holds
Death in despair
For all the truth holds..
