ANGEL ON FIRE

She stands on her suitcase

And looks out her window at me.
The smile leaves her face,
The mirror don't like what it sees.
So she hides all her secrets.
She's thinking I'll never know
That she burns like an angel
Into her fire she goes.

She don't miss nothing

Even though she pretends she don't see
Everything she's "watching" (?)

She puts her hand next to me

She says give me one reason
Why I should be here again.
But then she blows out the candle
And shows me the reason again.

Cause she loves like an angel

She burns like an angel on fire
On fire

After the movie,

She walks in the park with a friend.
She tells it to her straight.
He don't mean nothing to me.
She says I can't believe him
If I gave him enough rope he'd hang me.
But when she turns to him
There's no place she'd rather be.

Cause she burns like an angel.

She burns like an angel on fire.

And she's stuck

When she comes on so hot.
And you have never felt
A heavenly slow burn.
I'm so hot,
When I leave her cold,
Frying in her room
Like angels always do.
And you think I love you
Just cause I said so.

Butterflies "shiver" (?)

She lives all the things that I've known.
She's thinking her diary
Convincing her words as she goes.
She says heaven forgive me
Am I going to pay for my sins?
Cause she burns like an angel
Everytime she lets me in.
BLACK CAT (AKA BELLSHIT)

Black cat, black cat's gone

Gone for good, gone for long
Don't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home

Looking back, the black (past)

Trust him once, lost my map
Trust again to save my bones
And I never made it back

Black cat, black cat's gone

Gone for good, gone for long
Don't believe I made it home
And I hope he don't come home

Never had anything

Never lose and I never win
Lost my only love, never get her back
There's a black cat on my back

Black cat, black cat's gone

Gone for good, gone for long
Don't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home

Beg for mercy, laying low

Down where the poor dogs go
Lick my wounds, when (I go home)
Death is spiriling down
Death is low

Black cat, black cat's gone

Gone for good, gone for long
Can't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home

Every day, every hour

Another baby's born
Going to hang my head, (dry and blind)
'Til the black cat drags it home

Black cat, black cat's gone

Gone for good, gone for long
Can't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home

Beg for mercy, I'm laying low

Down where the poor dogs go
Lick my wounds, when I grow old
The sun is down and gone
The sun is down
The sun is down and gone
The sun is down
The sun is down and gone
The sun is down
The sun is down and gone

Black cat
The sun is down and gone

Hope he don't come home

I hope he don't come home
I hope he don't come home

CHRISTI

Yeah, and Christi
Tell me what I want to hear
Christi
Tell me what I want to hear

You'll never cry without me

You'll only cry without me
You're gonna die without me (x5)
FLUTTER GIRL

And drinking dust

With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me

So hide your face

And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak

Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free

You don't want to know what I've lived

You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free

My hands are rough

My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe...

I'll melt your smile

I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me

Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

And you don't want to know what I've lived

You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

(Long solo...)

Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free

You don't want to know what I've lived

Flutter girl
Flutter girl
HEARTFIST

Love me to death cause I need the sleep

I've been wide awake
She hit me with a hand of broken nails
It hurts to give
When my heart has had too much to take
Another blow
Another broken spell
And it hits so hard

Heart fist
Love me to the head and hurts too bad
You're going all around
(I don't know why you can be so cold)
Oh yeah
It beats so hard into my chest
I prop my feet against the ground
(You've got to bite the hand that feeds you)
All right
I'm going down so why put up a fight
It's gonna hit me
It's gonna hit me
Heart fist

Don't leave another bomb to blow my head

It's gonna hit me
It's gonna hit me

[Chorus]
Love me to death cause I need the sleep
I've been wide awake
She hit me with a hand of broken nails
It hurts to give
When my heart has had too much to take
And you know how to hit it
Heart fist
Heart fist
Heart

Heart fist
Into the way of pumping blood from me
Alive before I drown
(I don't know, how do you think so cold)
All right
You lure me to your bed of nails
And then hit me when I'm down
(You gotta bite the hand that feeds you)
All right
I'm going down so why put up a fight
It's gonna hit me
It's gonna hit me

Heart fist
Don't leave another bomb to blow my head
It's gonna hit me
Yeah, it's gonna hit me

Heart fist
You love to hit me when I'm down
And set me up again
(It's like never getting up from a bad dream)

(Chorus)

I feel the pain that brings me to the ground

I feel another fist begin to pound
Bleed everything and love into submission
Cause I will hit you like a heart condition

(Chorus)

When it all adds up

You don't mean that much to me
Just another kiss to leave me when I'm down
And it hits so hard
Yeah it hits so hard

MISSING

Here come the signs

Of early-warning misery
Here come the sounds
It looks like a river up to here
Underneath my head

Here comes the sight

I might just lose it ?
Here comes the part
Where you ask me for my sympathy
I just might lose my head

Have you seen me

Can you hear me
Did you think you could win me over
I've been hard to hold

I've been hard to hold

And I'm missing

I made you get down

I made you get down on your hands and knees
But I made it up
I took you away from your misery
And you can't say it's ?

Now here comes the past

It looks like what's in front of me
This may be the last
This may be the last thing you'll see of me
And it might be your key to rest

I've been hard to hold

And I'm missing
NO ATTENTION (DEMO)

Emotions
______________
Up in my head
So say what you want
Spit it out loud
In my face
I've got to make up my mind
Goes with the time
It's not gonna change
So say what you want
Spit it out loud
In my face
No attention (x4)

Gonna tell you where to walk

When to smile
And just what to say
Have your own fun
Make your own mind
But don't make no waves
You got a head full of change
Show the new way
It's gonna come
Say what you want
Suck out my life
Suck out my brain
No attention (x12)

No attention (x7)

And I'll pay no attention...

NOWHERE BUT YOU

Nowhere but you

I'm gone until I'm within you
Nowhere but you
There is no (better) place that I've been to

And if I'm condemned

Let me rest on my pillow
And dream of those moments so few
And if I'm blessed
I'll be chasing your shadow
There I go
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you

When you were here

I thought that I would never miss you
When you were gone
I felt that I had never lived here

And if I'm condemned

Let me rest on my pillow
And dream of those moments so few
And if I'm blessed
I'll be chasing your shadow
There I go
Nowhere
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
Nowhere
But you
STOLEN PRAYER

I walk these streets alone, shadows hide my face

My sins are etched in stone, never to erase
My fears unshakeable, if I could believe
I'd trade these wings of gold, for what I really need
I fought the fires of love, burned them to my soul
Scarred from the flames of hope, my mask is made of stone
I'm not invincible, but I want to believe
That you're convinceable, I pray that you will be

Take the word and pass it on, I'm tired of preaching

Take the angel from the thorns, untie the wings of gold
Until I'm in the right of way
All my words are spoken, all my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer

I dreamed of different times, and tried to find my way

Ooooh all the darkest lies, cloud my world today
I'm not unbreakable, although I might pretend
It's not unthinkable that I could feel again

Take the word and pass it on, I'm tired of preaching.

Take the angel from the thorns, Untie these golden wings
Until I'm in the right of way
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer

You steal another minute from my life

You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
UNHOLY WAR

From the start of life

To your dying day
In the dark of night
And in the burning light of day
It's a bloody fight
And you can't walk away
There's no rest in sight
And I struggle just to slave
I'm tired of living on the front line

Of this

[Chorus]
Unholy war, unholy war
We try, we fight, until we die
Unholy war, unholy war
You see, you know, you'll always be
Unholy

I see your burning fuse

From a mile away
You take the world's abuse
Then you bow your head in shame
You gotta learn to bite the hand
That pulls your chain
There's too much sanity
It will make you go insane
I'll fight when we're all on the same side

Of this

Unholy war, unholy war

We try to fight until we die
Unholy

When you're all alone - Unholy

With your thoughts of pain - Unholy
You're a burning fuse - Unholy
Can you break the strings? - Unholy

You're shaking in your boots

You met your end today (?)
Try walking in my shoes
You'll see we've all got hell to pay
And we got battle wounds
In the lion's cage
We'll all be W's
Beneath the numbers on the page (?)
As we cry til the battle is over
