, you feed,
you should've known better. But you're
cryin' won't take away my tear stained
eyes. Get back Jack. I'll kill you like a
heart attack, but won't you stay?

Shine

Everybody's talkin' words are flowin' with-
out reason, everyday the papers say, it's
black or white, the season. I say blood, it
all runs red to me. Can't see why I'd have
to be, color blind to see. And you can
think about, but it really doesn't matter
what you say, cuz' it's all the same song
anyway, only matter how you play. Let
me take you where you want to be. Shine
on the man, let the world know who I am.
Shine the man, make him understand.
Broke down, but it really didn't matter,
and I really didn't care, cuz'I never could
say, if I live to die or die to live it's all
gone tomorrow what I do today. And I try
to hide it all inside but I just couldn't get it
to function, you gotta get down to the mid-
dle of all my pain and it all just washed
away. "Love, Fall on me" -- Kings X

Hello

Inside, outside, psychosomethingfreudian,
so hard to say...hello, How are you? I'm
fine, I'm just dying, pushed under, grown
over, within, without, emotionless is more.
I'm finding deeper inside, all over, this
body is broken, broken is this body.
The living are no better than, the dead ones
walking slowly by, I'd like to laugh I'd
love to cry, and if this is forever, I
say...Take these dreams, if I might live for-
ever, take thse eyes, if I might speak in
lies, all these years, and all I have it tomor-
row, take these eyes, if I might say hello
I know, it's hard now, but I'd burn the
world just to see you rise, in time. Corrupt
and insincere you'd think you'd blow it
away.

No-Can-Do

I feel the winds of change, more than
meets the eye. I got fire on this face, oh
Lord, no can do
Here we are, again, myriads of temptation
and then, now the beast, let us fight, senses
dull I do this every night. Pot of gold. If I
fall, then you'd come again to take my all,
so I say, baby no way
Pushing, pulling me, take me to the
edge insanity, now this beast, will I fight,
can't tell right from wrong from black from
white, pot of gold, if I fall, so you come
again to take my all, so I say, baby, no way

Strange to Me

This is the world, and check it out, human
response is flowing by, and in reaction
to reaction I can't understand why, that I am
the way I am, that I do and you do not. I
guess we're in this thing we're in, it's what
we've got. I slam my hands both down,
until my fingers bleed, until my face is red,
until you feel my need, I feel your con-
science crush, hate subside, I'm getting out
of this world alive
Deeper than it seems to be, the difference
in the way we see, I'm strange to you,
you're strange to me, so we agree to dis-
agree, good-bye
This is political and I am not the one that I
might seem, not buried under the
American dream. I will not try to find a
way to fill the hole, moral decay, you will
not listen no matter what I say
And when the way of what it is, is under
words of what is not, I try to be within,
without, with everyone. And though I try
not to confuse, my commitment with my
contempt, I try to love the world, but then
the world is bent.

Talk About the Weather

Everybody wants to talk about whatever,
anything that doesn't matter, talk about the
weather...
Now everybody welcome to the US of A.
where you can live like a king, if you've
got the money to pay, and I know you try to
tell me that the world is in need, but my
heart can't bleed
And I try to walk around it, try not to think
about it, but it just keeps coming back in
face, instead of the pain inside, get off this
rock and get part of the human race
And it's all good intention, and life's too
deep to mention, when we talk about the
weather
Well can't you see the happy shiny look on
my face? I got my shiny new car, in front
of my shiny new place, and I know you try
to tell my bout the hopeless in need, but
my heart can't bleed...
Now, here's what I'm talking bout, I'm bout
to pass my point a'breakin', and the fear is
equal to the hate we are makin', and I
know you always tell me that the world is
in need, but my heart can't bleed

King of Siam

Legitimate role transference, a mental
deviation, a living, breathing, hypothetical
situation. Suddenly, and without warning
I'm at odds with myself, could it be, facsimile,
identities on the shelf. Alter-ego
plays statego, I simply will not let myself
believe.
If I am not the king, then I am
nothing...ever
Here I am, the King of Siam
Riddle me this my subject, do dreams con-
vey a truth? when things aren't what they
seem, do you know what to do? I am sit-
ting here bewildered, the questions cloud
my head. What I thought was, is not, and
what is, is not what I thought it was.
Legends in their own minds, cultivate the
hype that only builds their psyche.

Force Fed

Eyes wide open feed on every line, every
picture, every word the cut so deep and
razor fine, and is it any wonder, that what I
hate is what I seek? When blood becomes
the common scene, when heart is hard, and
flesh is weak
And I will not be lied or denied, I will not
accept, respect, or bow to...Everything you
give is everything you take, and I don't
even think that I'd know how to, turn
around and walk into the death that was
my life, or maybe life that was my death,
and I may be your human target, but only
till my final breath

Force fed, exploited, till dead
Force fed, misguided, till dead

Crush the soul and fill the hole with any
substitute to take the place, far away, from
sacrifice and grace, eyes wide open and
I'm blind, blind, blind. Smoke from your
lips to take my vision. blood from the son
to make me shine...
I took my soul on down to the water,
hoped the water wasn't dry -- I took my
body down to the truth, and hoped the truth
was not a lie. you fed me pain, fed the
pain on doubt of live, I lived the lie, it
couldn't satisfy, made me look somewhere
above.

One Day to Live

Rest now my love, I know it's more than
you've been used to, and by my side your
warm and safe and have no cares. You're
not alone, you're not alone and it's not so
hard cuz my load is easy. Rest now in the
shelter of my wings. Here it comes that
fear flowin over me. Is it real and will for-
evere be, world around can't bring me
down, can't bring me down.

If I had one day to live,
I wouldn't have to walk on water,
Wouldn't have to shine...
Wouldn't matter if I did,
'Cuz I'd spend my life with you
