decorated

Nothing comes from nowhere
One thing remains and I swear
Nail polish cellophane hair
Bleached, blonde burned down to the brain
I can't complain there's no shame in no fame
And still it all remains the same
And I want this game over
It's a fight to let this life pass by you
And try to stay sober

CHORUS:
And I got pills for the pain (pills for the pain)
Deep down inside I've got to chill and refrain (I'm going insane)
These crazy thoughts are running round my brain
They're leading me to places decorated in flames
Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
I'm highly decorated
It's decorated in flames,
Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
It's decorated in flames

Who you mother fuckers think you are
Crazy Town hit 'em hard like our boy Bernard
Clenched fists as I pace the yard
So many tattoos I ain't got no room for scars
Escaped them all make a brother break the law
Skip trial and escape tomorrow
Till I end up in the courtroom
White chucks, hair spiked up
With my double fat laces on
And I want this game over
It's a fight to let this life pass by you
And try to stay sober
Till the weed and the pipe with Ley come over
Till we fail again its pales of hen
So many tattoos the feds can't see my skin
So I think about my cell again
And my friends do you realize what kind of hell I'm in

CHORUS

Tire tracks running down my veins
Dirty black slacks with the chrome hearts chain
Got a record so dope they got to cut it the cane
I know you know the face do you know the name
I know you seen the stars in magazines
Got drug dealers, street hookers, crooks and fiends
Me I'm hooked on the Kush smoking northern green
Catching cheap thrills off the pills I fiend

Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
I'm highly decorated
It's decorated in flames,
Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
It's decorated in flames

Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
I'm highly decorated
It's decorated in flames,
Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
It's decorated in flames

hurt you so bad

Now let me state it for the record
I'm jaded but when you looked at me
I couldn't escape it
I really hate it when I'm out of control
But baby after the show
My mind just wouldn't let go
Tell me was it a hallucination (hallucination)
That made me feel so alone (so alone)
And even though I had never met you before
I Can't get you out of my head
Now I'm pouring out my heart for you

CHORUS:
I never meant to hurt you so bad
I'm just trying to get over you
I hope you never meant to hurt me so bad
Don't you feel the same way too
I never meant to hurt you so bad
I never meant to hurt you

So now I sit and think of what I could say
When you look at me to re-ignite the connection
I'm gonna take you to a place beyond time
Somewhere that we've never been
Someplace that I couldn't find
Tell me if your feeling my addiction (my addiction)
Without you I just can't disguise (can't disguise)
How much I need to see your face one more time
Can't get you out of my head
Now I'm pouring out my heart for you

CHORUS

Uh huh, yeah yeah

CHORUS

Uh huh, yeah yeah
I never meant to hurt you

drowning

Everything is so complex
Every day is like a test full of obstacles,
That seem almost impossible

And I'm thinking just another breath
Not a minute left
How long have I been drifting

Pass the glass pipe Hit the flashlight
Now break it
People say I'm a star but I still think I'll never make it

And I'm thinking
Just another prayer
Not a second left
I feel there's something missing

CHORUS:
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me
When all the answers that I seek are around me
Am I drowning
Am I fading away
Or am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way
Am I drowning (x4)

I've been to hell and back,
Looking for the answers to life
Looking at myself trying to get things right

And I'm feeling,
Just another breath
Not a minute left
I feel the darkness lifting

There was a time that I questioned,
If I'd ever be alright
Running getting high,
Staying trapped by sleepless nights

And I'm thinking
Just another breath
Not a minute left
I feel there's something missing

I'm running from myself and all the things I don't like
Living every night like it's the last night

And I'm thinking
Just another prayer
Not a second left
I need to stop resisting

CHORUS

Drowning in the drama,
Lost in the lies
Trapped by the currents of life
Caught in the riptide
repeat x4

Am I drowning (x4)

CHORUS

change

Now in these cynical times
Stereotypical minds
Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind
I'm trying to look beyond the lies
Just to see what I'll find
I'm like a flower in a cave
Another hour in the maze
And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays
It's time for me to grow out of this childish phase
My life is like a battle that I'll probably never win
'cause I keep thinking big and risking everything
Life's a challenge and I wonder if I'll ever find the balance
Mixed emotions and confusion topped off with many talents

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change, will I change, or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change, will I change, or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

My finger's pointing in the mirror
I'm the one now (one now)
I see my shadow in the sun dial (sun dial)
Am I really out of change
Put my freedom in a cage
Slow down
Man I got a son now
There's nothing new they all said it
And I know it but I had to go through it myself
I'm hard-headed
But that's the only way that I'll learn
Get caught in the fire there's no escaping the burn (and it burns)
Change this, change that, change is full of lies
I remain the same cat, wear a good disguise
Living life looking through my third blind crooked eye
So if I change I'd be changing for the worst wouldn't I?

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change, will I change, or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change (changes)
Can I change, will I change, or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me (changes)
(My life is twisted)

I wanna run but if I run I'm only running from myself
Would it be easier if I was someone else (changes)
I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never been burned
Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned
On a highway, to a destination I've earned
So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
I'm like a piece of shared glass laying on frame of a window
That was broken by the bricks of pain
Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig
He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig
I admit I'm fucked up and got a lot to learn
So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridges I've burned

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change (changes)
Can I change, will I change, or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak (changes)
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change (changes)
Can I change, will I change, or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me (changes)
(My life is twisted)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change (will I)
Will I ever change (can I)
Can I ever change (will I)
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change (will I)
Will I ever change (can I)
Can I ever change (will I)
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
But the world wants to blame it on me
(My life is twisted)

candy coated

Now can you hear the cling-clang,
Of my ball and chain gang?
The sound of heavy metal that tastes like cellophane
Collapsing every vein like umbrellas in heavy rain
My passion is pain
I do dirt to bury shame
I'm victimized an institutions no solution
A place where your defenceless and guilt's the prosecution
Where necks are bound into slipknots of shallow souls
Walking narrow roads to be hung from gallow poles
Nobody knows me success has exposed me
To narrow-minded souls with goals to overthrow me
Suppose that I chose to live my life low-key
Would you act like you could teach
When there's nothing you can show me
Don't you understand I'm the head of the class
A straight-A student not regretting the past

You see I'm ok now but I don't think it will last
Because reality is something I can't seem to grasp
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away

It's deeper then what it looks like
We never got an equal shot and so we took mics
Packed the candy-coated pain in the first pipe
That said my name and the candy-coated pain is the worst type
You got it nice, my everyday is like your worst night
The world is digging in my wounds screaming,
Out I bet it hurts right?
But it hurts more (hurts more)
I got regrets but
I'm glad I took the prize behind the first door
What's the hurt for?
Everybody hungers peace but they thirst war
It's crazy,
I'm not complaining because I probably would have tried better
And if the people that I trusted weren't lie tellers
So keep your candy-coated pain to make the vibe better
Now all the songs I'm writing sound like suicide letters

You see I'm ok for now but I don't think it will last
'Cause reality is something I can't seem to grasp
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I fell closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away

Guilty or innocent whatever pick the verdict
Sometimes a perfect picture's not so perfect
Though I could reverse the mixture it isn't really worth it
Because my life seems to work no matter how bad I curse it
I only know I little but I feel so much
The pain brings me down but it reveals the rush
See I got my arms up just to shield the dust
Because I lust for the things I can't seem to touch

Arrest me, if I follow you
You congest me, I'm so hollow from your gift
You infect me, when I cut you
Still the same, still insane
I think I love you (but fuck you)

Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I fell closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, I feel closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
You see I'm ok for now but I don't think it will last
'Cause reality is something I can't seem to grasp
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away

waste of my time

She was my heart, my soul, my girl, my life
I want that shit
I'll make that sacrifice
You know, I know, you know what's on my mind
I the like sex, but we're just wasting time
No replays
Like Shifty, "please stay"
Sick of breaking up every other weekday
And we can't seem to see eye to eye
You even yell when I try to get high?
And I can't keep you, you're evil
And all my friends think that I should leave you
It's a standstill
that I'm trying to see through
But ya acting like a bitch so I got to leave you

CHORUS
Oh! I think I've seen this once before
I know the way it ends,
When you just walk out the front door
Oh! I think I've seen this once before
I know the way it ends
When you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time,
Waste of my time, waste of my time,
Waste of my time, my time

You came I went, you saw, I fucked, I left
We're neck to neck but now it's sudden death
Get out of my bed I came to make it mine
Don't want no head, stop all that wasting time

CHORUS
Oh! I think I've seen this once before
I know the way it ends
When you just walk out the front door
Oh! I think I've seen this once before
I know the way it ends
When you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time,
Waste of my time, waste of my time,
Waste of my time, my time

Waste of my time, waste of my time,
Waste of my time, waste of my time,
My time

I'm mad but, I packed your bags up
Put 'em by the door, you can have that stuff
Story of a whore and a man's bad luck
But it's all for the best I guess - Next!
Now I feel like the man on the moon right
Staring down the world, lookin' for a new girl with a new life
And I guess one day, someday I'm gonna get it right

CHORUS
Oh! I think I've seen this once before
I know the way it ends
When you just walk out the front door
Oh! I think I've seen this once before
I know the way it ends
When you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time,
Waste of my time, waste of my time,
Waste of my time, my time

Just a waste of my time,
Waste of my time, waste of my time,
Waste of my time, my time

sorry

I'm sorry,
I'm not what you are
So sorry,
The ugly of it all
All my life,
I was beneath you
It's all my fault,
Please forgive me

Maybe I could change
Maybe I could try
Maybe I could
But the again

CHORUS:
Why would I want to
Lie like you
Thieve like you
Hurt like you
Deceive like you
Connive like you
Cheat like you
It's not that hard to be like you
But then again, why would I want to

I'm sorry,
I am so ashamed
So sorry,
I'll take all the blame
All my life,
I've been so confused
It's all my fault,
Please forgive me

Maybe I could change
Maybe I could try
Maybe I could
But then again

CHORUS

Why would I want to (x4)

I'm sorry,
I'm not what you are
So sorry,
The ugly of it all
All my life,
I was beneath you
It's all my fault
Please forgive me

battle-cry

No time for words
Just choose sides
No fear 'cause no one can hide
No room to keep this inside
I'm on the front line yellin' out the battle cry

Steppin' with my Armageddon weapon
I'll wet 'em and let 'em step again
Armageddon weapon will wet 'em again
Steppin' with my Armageddon weapon
I'll wet 'em and let 'em step again (step again)

I'm sick of waiting and hearing this instigation
It's time to take over the station
And get y'all pissed off
It's like my patience
It's worse than the situation
So I keep straight face and scream
All you get lost
It's not society nah, can't beat sobriety
Something inside of me is keeping me down
It's 'cause you lie to me and take away my privacy
I used to stay quiet but look at me now

CHORUS:
No time for words
Just choose sides
No fear 'cause no one can hide
No room to keep this inside
So where you at
Front line yellin' out the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
I could've sworn I heard the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry

No! I won't calm down
No! I won't put my firearm down
Hell no! We're either leaving here or fightin'
Or we're writin' some new rules
And I'm doing the writin'
Who are you to govern me, how could you govern
If you got no fuckin' love for me
I see the love but I don't see it's brotherly
Ya love to rape me, hate me, smother me

So I'm gonna be steppin' with my Armageddon weapon
I'll wet 'em and let 'em step again
Armageddon weapon will wet 'em again
Steppin' with my Armageddon weapon
I'll wet 'em and let 'em step again (step again)

CHORUS

I used to stay quiet but look at me now
I could of sworn I heard the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry

take it to the bridge

Triple X bottle
Role models from hell
Livin' our dreams
We like to scream and yell
White boys, b boys
Raised in the gutter
I said when I'd grow up I'd be a bad motherfucker
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'm breaking the rules
I'm gonna do it if it's not allowed
Thought I wouldn't when I would
Would when I wouldn't
I did it for the reason everybody said I couldn't
I'm putting my best foot down like what now
Let's take it to the bridge and jump the fuck down
Fuck it like a clown jump off a building in a bucket
The worst is yet to come,
Here it comes
so bum rush it

CHORUS:
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Would you change the way you live if I told you to
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Well take it to the bridge and jump the fuck off

Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Would you change the way you live if I told you to
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Well take it to the bridge and jump the fuck off

Are you ready to jump?
Are you ready to leap?
Well, the head rush is heavy but for many too deep
That were speeding up the world to keep the timing on beat
It keeps reminding everybody who's a pyramid freak
The pyramid eye
The figure inside
The leader that you follow to the day that you die
We always bring it live which makes it easy to choose
Ain't now greiving or consoling or singing the blues
So when the levee breaks just remember the drums
And when the levee breaks don't forget how to run
Remember what I've done and everything that I said
I'm living proof that you can jump and live to try it again

CHORUS

I'm torn like Korn playing follow the leader
In a baggy pair of dickies and a dirty wife beater
Should the rate a CD like a movie in a theater
Should they blame it on me?
I say we blame it on you
Or blame it on the world there's no excuse for the things we do
Life's a maze I'll be amazed if I find my way through
One, two
tell me whatchya gonna do
You gonna jump off a bridge like I told you to
That's right
Bum rush the stage
Whatchya made of
How much more can you take?
Half of my life's been one big mistake
But no one's gonna take my place

One, two tell me whatchya gonna do
You're gonna jump off the bridge like I told you to
That's right
Bum rush the stage
What you made of?
How much can you take?

CHORUS

Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Don't try to be like me, you gotta be like you
If you can hear this you're catchin' a contact
If you can hear this you're bumpin' the sound
If you're in the earshot your catchin' the contact
If you can hear this you're bumpin' the sound

Jump off a bridge if I told you to
Jump off a bridge if I told you to
Jump off a bridge if I told you to
Well take it to the bridge and jump

skulls and stars

I was a skull in the ground
Now I'm a star in the sky
I went from crawling around
to being able to fly
Saw no future for me
Until I opened my eyes
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky

I tried love having hope and takin' chances
And all I got were broken dreams
And failed romances
Suffered to a life of skin covered in scratches
Looking for the light but I could never find the passage
Tension, stress, pain yeah you best believe it
Nose bleeding from my false way to relieve it
Enough confusion to make serenity sick
All my fake friends became my enemies quick
Every day I found another way to make excuses
Took the ropes I was supposed to climb and made nooses
Being stupid always giving in to the myth
That life wasn't even worth living like this
A grown man trapped inside a young man's skin
With resentment buried very deep within
On a mission to end up either dead or in jail
No wonder everybody always said that I would fail

CHORUS:
I was a skull in the ground
Now I'm a star in the sky
I went from crawling around
to being able to fly
Saw no future for me
Until I opened my eyes
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky

I was a skull in the ground
Now I'm a star in the sky
I went from crawling around
to being able to fly
Saw no future for me
Until I opened my eyes
I was a skull in the ground, now I'm a star in the sky

I found myself locked in a cell and I was just another number
The thin ice was cracking and I was sinking under
Often never felt but when I felt often was sorrow
Worry about today, dread what would happen by tomorrow
Who knows the answers, well nobody knows for certain
The evil things I did when I chose to close the curtain
Perhaps I should relapse, quit, relapse, quit
Or sit back and relax with a sack of good shit
Now I find myself in a candle lit depression
Using sex like drugs just to handle my aggression

CHORUS

I had a little, had a lot, had it all and
Then I lost it
Stars are in my eyes and skeletons are in my closet
Now when I open my eyes and I rise from the dead
Take control of my soul 'cause the lies are in my head
The right way is the left way, and the left way is wrong
So I'm left with the right way, and the right way is long
So for once in my life I truly feel like I belong
So I'll appreciate today and everyday until I'm gone

CHORUS

beautiful

Now when the shit does down
I'm always forced to grow
Forced to see all the things that I still don't know
And if there's one thing I've learned it's never to late
To take a fucked up life to a beautiful state
Because I came from the bottom so I treasure the top
At times it seems these dreams are just a long shot
When the world's crashing down and the drama won't stop
Your chained to the past and you can't break the lock

Because nothing could be more beautiful
Then watching the whole world crumbling down on me
So beautiful, so beautiful
To witness the end
How far will I go?
And will I grow?
Will I learn to know?

My addiction used to hold me like a lover feeling lonely
I was numbered by broken dreams and what I felt the world owed me
I'd sit and hit the walls until my fists were cut and swollen
My soul was cold and drowning from the tears I tried to hold in
Overwhelmed by me emotions and haunted by the past
My head was over-heating, and my heart was in a cast
My mind was in the gutter, my ass was in a sling
Driven by destruction, young and fucking everything

Because nothing could be more beautiful
Then watching the whole world crumbling down on me
So beautiful, so beautiful
To witness the end
How far will I go?
And will I grow?
Will I learn to know?

How far now will I go and will I grow?
Beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, beautiful

'Cause nothing could be more beautiful
Then watching the whole world crumbling down on me
So beautiful, so beautiful
To witness the end
(repeat to fade)
