    3. The House Jack Built
    *Opens door so i walk inside
    Close my eyes
    Find my place to hide
    And i shake as I take it in
    Let the show begin

    Open my eyes
    Just to have them close again
    Well on my way
    But on my way where I've been

    It swallows me
    As it takes me in it's fog
    I twist away
    As I give this world the nod

    [*Repeat]

    Open my eyes
    Just to have them close once again
    Don't want control
    As it takes me down and down and down again

    Is that the moon
    Or just the light that lights this dead end street?
    Is that you there?
    Or just another demon that i meet?

    **The higher you are
    The farther you fall
    The longer the walk
    The farther you crawl
    My body, my temple
    This temple it tilts
    Step into the house that Jack built

    [**Repeat]

    Open door so I walk inside
    Swallow me so the pain subsides
    And I shake as I take the sin
    Let the show begin

    [*Repeat x 2]

    Open my eyes
    It swallows me
    Is that you there?
    I twist away
    Away
    Away
    Away

    4. Until It Sleeps
    Where do I take this pain of mine
    I run, but it stays right my side

    So tear me open, pour me out
    There's things inside that scream and shout
    And the pain still hates me
    So hold me, until it sleeps

    Just like the curse, just like the stray
    You feed it once, and now it stays

    So tear me open, but beware
    There's things inside without a care
    And the dirt still stains me
    So wash me, until I'm clean

    *It grips you, so hold me
    It stains you, so hold me
    It hates you, so hold me
    It holds you, so hold me

    Until it sleeps**

    So tell me why you've choosen me
    Don't want your grip, don't want your greed

    I'll tear me open, make you gone
    No more can you hurt anyone
    And the fear still shakes me
    So hold me, until it sleeps

    [*--** Repeat]

    I don't want it

    So tear me open, but beware
    The things inside without a care
    And the dirt still stains me
    So wash me, 'till I'm clean...

    I'll tear me open, make you gone
    No longer will you hurt anyone
    And the hate still shapes me
    So hold me, until it sleeps...

    Until it sleeps...

    5. King Nothing
    Wish I may
    Wish I might
    Have this I wish tonight
    Are you satisfied?

    Dig for gold
    Dig for fame
    You dig to make your name
    Are you pacified?

    All the wants you waste
    All the things you've chased

    *And it all crashes down
    And you break your crown
    And you point your finger
    But there's no one around

    **Just want one thing
    Just to play the king
    But the castle crumbled
    And you've left with just a name

    Where's your crown?
    King nothing***

    Hard and cold
    Bought and sold
    A heart as hard as gold
    Are you satisfied

    Wish I might
    Wish I may
    You wish your life away
    Are you pacified

    All the wants you waste
    All the things you've chased

    [*--*** Repeat]

    I wish I may
    I wish I might
    Have this wish I wish tonight

    I want that star
    i want it now
    I want it all and i don't care how

    Careful what you wish
    Careful what you say
    Careful what you wish
    You may regret it

    Careful what you wish
    You just might get it

    Then it all crashes down
    And you break your crown
    And you point your finger
    But there's no one around

    [*--*** Repeat]

    [** Repeat]

    Nothin'
    No, you're just nothin'
    Where's your crown, King Nothing?
    No, you're just nothin'
    Absolutely nothin'

    6. Hero Of The Day
    Mama they try and break me

    The window burns to light the way back home
    A light that warms no matter where they've gone

    They're off to find the hero of the day
    But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

    Still the window burns
    Time so slowly turns
    And someone there is sighing
    Keepers of the flames
    Do ya feel your name?
    Can't you hear your babies crying?

    Mama they try and break me
    Still they try and break me

    'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel
    These things return to me that still seem real

    Now deservingly this easy chair
    But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

    Don't want your aid
    But the first I've make
    For years can't hold or feel
    No, I'm not all me
    So please excuse me
    While I tend to how I feel

    *But now the screams and waking dreams
    That never last the night
    So build the wall, behind the crawl
    And hide until it's light
    So can you hear your babies crying now?

    Still the window burns
    Time so slowly turns
    And someone there is sighing
    Keepers of the flames
    Do ya feel your name?
    Can't you hear your babies crying?

    [* Repeat]

    Mama they try and break me

    7. Bleeding Me
    *I'm diggin' my way
    I'm diggin' my way to something
    I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better

    **I'm pushin' to stay
    I'm pushin' to stay with something
    I'm pushin' to stay with something better

    I'm sowing the seeds
    I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
    I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted

    This thorn in my side
    This thorn in my side is from the tree
    This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted

    It tears me and I bleed

    ***Caught under wheels roll
    I take the leech I'm bleeding me
    Can't stop to save my soul
    I take the leash that's leading me
    I'm bleeding me I can't take it
    Caught under wheel's roll
    The bleeding of me

    [*** Repeat]

    I am the beast that feeds the beast
    I am the blood, I am the release
    Come make me pure
    Bleed me a cure
    I'm caught under

    [*** Repeat]

    [* Repeat]

    [** Repeat]

    8. Cure
    The man takes another bullet
    He keeps them all within
    He must seek, no matter how it hurts
    So don't fool again

    He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
    He takes his medicine
    The man take another bullet
    He's been fooled again

    *Uncross your arms and take
    And throw them to the cure, say...
    I do believe
    Uncross your arms now
    Take 'em to it, say...
    I do believe

    The lies tempt her and she follows
    Again she lets him in
    She must believe to fill the hollow
    She's been fooled again

    [* Repeat]

    Betting on the cure
    Cause it must get better than this
    Betting on the cure
    Yeah everyone's got to have the sickness
    'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
    Precious cure

    I do believe

    Betting on the cure
    Yeah, it must get better than this
    Need to feel secure
    Yeah, it's gonna get better than this
    It must get better than this
    Betting on the cure

    Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
    'Cause everyone seems to need the cure

    I do believe

    9. Poor Twisted Me
    Oh poor twisted me
    Oh poor twisted me
    I feast on sympathy
    I chew on suffer, I chew on agony
    Swallow whole the pain
    Oh it's too good to be
    That all this misery
    Is just for oh poor twisted me

    Poor mistreated me
    Poor mistreated me
    I drown without a sea
    Lung fills with sorrow, lungs fill with misery
    Inhaling the deep dark blue
    Oh woah is me
    Such a burden to be
    The poor mistreated me

    To finally reach the shore
    Survive the storm
    Now you're bare and cold
    The sea was warm
    So warm, you bathe your soul again

    Good to feel my friend
    Oh woah is me
    Such a burden to be
    Oh poor twisted me

    10. Wasting My Hate
    *Good day, how do
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
    I think I'll keep it for myself
    Ain't gonna give no more
    Ain't got the time to help you score
    I think it's time ya pleased yourself

    [* Repeat]

    Think you're worthy now
    Think enough to even raise the brow
    And to laugh and tip that two pronged crown

    I see my hands, I see my feet
    I feel that blood that pumps in beat
    But where the hell's my mind goin' now?

    [* Repeat]

    Ain't gonna waste mt hate
    But I'm so greedy when they say
    (It's) better to give than to receive

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    No, no ain't got time to waste my hate on you
    Yea, I think I'm gonna keep it all for myself

    [* Repeat]

    11. Mama Said
    Mama she has taught me well
    Told me when I was young
    Son, your life's an open book
    Don't close it fore it's done
    The brightest flame burns quickest
    Is what I heard they say
    A son's heart's owned to mother
    But I must find my way

    *Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama let my heart go
    Or let this heart be still

    Rebel my new last name
    Wild blood in my veins
    Apron strings around my neck
    The mark that still remains
    Left home at an early age
    Of what I heard was wrong
    I never asked forgiveness
    But what I said is done

    [* Repeat]

    **Never I ask you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness
    I now take to my grave
    Never I ask of you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness
    I now take to my grave
    So let this heart be still

    Mama now I'm coming home
    I'm not all you wished of me
    But a mother's love for her son
    Unspoken, Help me be
    I took your love for granted
    And all the things you said to me
    I need your arms to welcome me
    But a cold stone's all I see

    [* Repeat]

    Let my heart go
    Mama let my heart go
    You never let my heart go
    So let this heart be still

    [** Repeat]

    12. Thorn Within
    Forgive me father
    For I have sinned
    Find me guilty of the life I feel within
    And when I'm branded
    This mark of shame
    Should I look down disgraced
    Or straight ahead
    And know that you must blame

    *I am the secret
    I am the sin
    I am the guilty
    And I, I am the thorn within

    Forgive me father
    For I have sinned
    Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
    So point your fingers
    Point right at me
    For I am shadows and will follow me
    One and the same are we

    [* Repeat]

    I do your time
    I take your fall
    I'm branded guilty
    For us all

    So point your fingers
    Point right at me
    For I am shadows and will follow you
    One and the same are we

    13. Ronnie
    Story starts, quiet town
    Small town boy, big time frown
    Never talks, never plays
    Different path, lost his way

    Dead streets are red, red I'm afraid
    No confetti, no parade
    Nothing happens in this boring place
    But oh my god, how that all did change
    Now they all pray
    Blood stains wash away

    He said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    I heard him, he said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    All things wash away
    But blood stained the sun red today

    I always said, somethin' wrong
    With little strange Ronnie Long
    Never laughed, never smiled
    Talked alone, for miles and miles and miles

    Gallow calls, son I say
    Keep your smile, and laugh all day
    Think once again, in this boring place
    For little boys, how they soon change

    Now they all pray
    Blood stains wash away

    He said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    Yeah, I heard him, he said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    All things wash away
    But blood stained the sun red today

    Yeah, well all the green things died
    When Ronnie moved to this place
    He said, "Don't you dare ask why
    I'm cursed to wear this face"

    Now we all know why children called him
    Ronnie Frown
    When he pulled that gun from his pocket
    And they'd all fall down down down

    He said "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    Yeah, I heard him, he screamed "lost my way"
    This bloody day
    Lost my way
    All things wash away
    But blood stained the sun red today

    14. The Outlaw Torn
    And now I wait my whole lifetime
    For you
    And now I wait my whole lifetime
    For you

    I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
    For you
    I search the outside, search inside
    For you

    To take back what you left me
    I know I'll always burn to be
    The one who seeks so I may find
    And now I wait my whole lifetime

    My outlaw torn
    My outlaw torn
    And I'm torn

    So on I wait my whole lifetime
    For you
    So on I wait my whole lifetime
    For you

    The more I search, the more my need
    For you
    The more I bless, the more I bleed
    For you

    You make me smash the clock and feel
    I'd rather die behind the wheel
    Time was never on my side
    So on I wait my whole lifetime

    My outlaw torn
    My outlaw torn
    My outlaw torn
    And I'm torn

    Hear me
    And if close my mind in fear
    Please pry it open
    See me
    And if my face becomes sincere
    Beware
    Hold me
    And when I start to come undone
    Stitch me together
    Save me
    And when you see me strut
    Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
