Hey Mad Dog, what you trying to make your own you’ll see.
There’s an outlaw, waiting for his meal to thaw I bet yes I bet.
Oh do you see what I saw, is there another way out there gonna make you beg. Yeah make you beg.
From what I regret, I wish I could go back, I can’t explain to the doctorate why.
Come join the masses, chatter in my brain pleads guilty through the side. Ya guilty through the side.
They say I never make time, but I make room for the underdog to sneak in from behind.
What makes the decision you decided alright, yeah it’s alright.
Cause it’s the lying your denying keeping you up all night yeah you keeping you up all night.
When your eyelids have gone dry, and your tongues been tied.
When your body surfaces, yeah he's just fucking with my mind.

Complicate, things don’t look pretty, I hesitate the overflow.
Let’s go back to the city, this open land is getting old.
Leave the light on darling I’ll be home just in time.
So keep the sheets warm sugar, I’ll keep you up all night.
Shapes and different colors, these are the first things we learn.
Stuck in a maze, its getting harder to stay away without a cure.
Cause in time you’ll see there’s more here for me so right now lets move along.
Cause the more and more you show it, the more and more you show it, the more it makes me feel okay to tell you everything WHOO!
Don’t wait for a nightmare to turn to a fright out there its only for a little while.
Cause in the year of “Dani California,” I could tell a part of me will never die.

Take another and wash it down with a side of a bump and a smile that you can’t hide. Yeah its that feeling that you soon will dread, but tonight were gonna raise some hell instead.
Yeah if you want to stay for the party, don’t blackout on the ground.
And if you wanna get me started you better just stick around.
Everything seems right, got you stuck in my head. Yeah maybe this time we can take it to the bed? And I said I don’t want tell you something that’s gonna make you run and hide. So don’t leave me darling, no not tonight.
A little bump, bump, bump flows inside, gonna make you scream gonna make you feel alright. A little shake, shake, shake to ease your mind. Don’t let the beast inside.

Criminal

It started with something I cant control. Waking up blurry-eyed is getting so old. It’s just a phase but I don’t know how it all began. There’s bloodstains on the party favors, I never see myself when I look in the mirror. You trade me in; I would’ve done the same. What goes around comes around.
Yeah who are you to say what I’m going through?
What’s that underneath my bed that I’m reaching for? Get the fuck out of my head I can’t take no more! Who are you to say that you’re not beautiful?
You think you’re pushed around? Cant get your feet up off the ground, but you got such a pretty mouth you give me everything that I wouldn’t have found on my own.
These hard times call for desperate measures. I’ll be your whiteout here to fix your errors. Just one more breath running through my veins and I wont let go. Cause I’m just a criminal, I’m just a criminal, lock the door throw away the key cause I’m an animal. Who are you to say that you’re not beautiful?

It Takes Love for Living
05:29
|

Living life as an outcast, driving down the Interstate line.
Watching the world go past thinking what I’ve left behind.
There’s no right in choosing, so shake it off and forget.
Cause even when you’re losing, sometimes it don’t make sense.
And you start forgiving as you learn from living.
It just takes a second you got to move right now.
So when there’s nothing left to believe in, it takes love for living.
You catch a breeze out there shaking it off with the same motivation soon you’ll forget.
Just like a rabbit in a hat, never know where it came from or where it’s gonna go next.
You try to see out there, you never know what you’re gonna find.
Its hard to breathe out there when you can speak you cant seem to speak your mind.

It’s a chain reaction triggered by unsatisfaction, what’s missing from my life.
These daily doses, cant complain; when everything slowly just fades away.
Light another match, take another hit, let it all go.
The writings on the wall say it as it is we may never know.
Better hurry up, feeling nauseous.
Take a look around and keep it to yourself.
I will be just fine I swear just one last time.
Light another match take another hit let it all go.
The writings on the wall say it as it is we may never know.
So take up through the skies you may run and hide cause I can tell where this is going.
You can live your life walking on thin ice you better finish what we started.
On your knees asking for forgiveness, say that I can’t handle the struggle.
You can never figure out your sickness. Maybe I’m nothing but trouble?
Cause I can fight it off, I can fight it off yeah tongue-tied witchcraft gets me off.
Just penetrate this bullet just do me a favor, just do me a favor, just do me a favor.
It’s all in your imagination.

Tarantula

Tarantula makes his way crawling through your mind.
Sinks his fangs into your brain relieving of hard times
When you seesaw you catch fall the feelings are altered.
What it fends, no sympathy, no love for another.
Once theres proof of a good excuse how long will he milk it?
Daylight comes washes the night, its back to the issue
When the hair on the back of your neck starts to stand.
When the venoms released inside you’re never the same.
Everyone’s so cruel. Cause everyone’s so different.
And when it makes you drool, because all these temptations tell you that the feelings gone stale.
The tarantula made his mark now back to the deep.
Waiting for whos next in line to sweep off their feet.
He'll always be there taunting you beneath your skin.
Once you start to fall apart, it never ends.

One-Way Disaster
03:45
|
|||
|
Do you remember my name? Cause I’m taken by how you feel the same. The attraction it flames. Cause I’m tired of living life ashamed.
Cause in the end it was a one-way disaster.
I gave up on the happy ever after.
But when I fell through the cracks you know I wouldn’t come back.
I wouldn’t come.
Dysphoria, can’t stop the paranoia in me.
Make a run for it while you can. Whose bloods on my hands?
How far will you go? To keep this up on another expense.
But in your defense you’re weakened by distant memories.
Cause in the end it was a one-way disaster.
I gave up on the happy ever after.
But this quick release is the easy way out.
Oh yeah it’s that easy way.

Choke and Leather
03:17
|

|
It shows its face from time to time. I think its laced but I don’t mind.
It’s hard to move when you’re stuck in time. Wear your button up as you trace the line.
Your temper tantrums, you blame the wine, you show me yours, ill show you mine.
You hurried off before I let you know that something’s wrong with this fucking fiasco.
Cause I ran out of change can you spare a wish from the well?
Its readymade, the story goes, cant reach the stain, set from below.
It hurts to swallow all your pride because you follow too close behind.
Cause I’ve ran out of change can you spare a wish from the well?
And oh cause I’m buried they’re gonna drag me to hell. That’s right!
It shows its face from time to time. I think its laced but I don’t mind.
Its hard to swallow all your pride because you follow to close behind.
This choke and leather this choke and leather has got me feeling light as a fallin feather.
You light fire were gonna watch them scatter yeah were gonna watch them scatter.

What You Do to Me
03:17
|

|
I say darling it’s you I regret.
You wear me down till there ain’t nothing left but bone. But bone.
You’re like a needle stuck inside of my arm.
It does the trick so don’t be alarmed is it true? I’m falling for you.
Oh you know that what you do to me do to me.
Yeah all these things that I couldn’t tell was love.
You just got to let them go. Yeah!
You build me up but you just put me down, cause I realize that I’m not as proud of the way that I’ve been living today.
Oh you know that what you do to me do to me.
Yeah all these things that I couldn’t tell was love.
You just got to let them go.
You don’t even know me baby but you’re always messing around with my head.
You don’t even know me but you wish I was…dead.

Every time I tell this story, it sounds just like something out of a dimension that escapes the mind.
You can never fully promise how one will feel.
When it takes on the illusion and turns to something real.
You sit and smoke your cigarette, try not look scared to death.
I’m starting to forget that I just met you.
We can always laugh away when you think it will stay,
there’s no fighting the seduction when it just keeps on going.
As I layed in the door by your bedroom
you came to me with a surprise in your head.
Don’t think twice about counting your blessings,
you’ve already taken the offer.
If you want to stand down, just stay where you are.
Or say what you can now, it’s written in the stars.
You try and change your ways but it always leaves you guessing.
Just know you’re right from wrong, it doesn’t make you strong.
