As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
My horror story is nearly over
I said I'm sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy from my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over).

I stumble through the wreckage,
Rusted from the rain.
There's nothing left to salvage,
No one left to blame.
Among the broken mirrors,
I don't look the same.
I'm rusted from the rain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Dissect me till my blood runs
Down into the drain.
My bitter heart is pumping
Oil into my veins.
I'm nothing but a tin man,
Don't feel any pain.
I don't feel any pain.
I don't feel any pain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain.
C'mon strip me of my power
Beat me with the chains.
And if I'm the King of cowards,
You're the Queen of pain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
You hung me like a picture,
Now I'm just a frame.
I used to be a lap dog,
Now I'm just a stray.
Shackled in the graveyard,
Left here to decay.
Left here to decay.
Left here to decay.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain.
C'mon, strip me of my power
Beat me with the chains.
And if I'm the King of cowards,
You're the Queen of pain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain.
C'mon strip me of my power
Beat me with the chains.
And if I'm the King of cowards,
You're the Queen of pain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Go on, crush me like a flower
Rusted from the rain.
C'mon strip me of my power
Beat me with the chains.
And if I'm the King of cowards,
You're the Queen of pain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Oh, the sun will shine again.
I'm rusted from the rain.
I'm rusted from the rain.
Oh, the sun will shine again.
I'm rusted from the rain.

They found an empty bottle on her windowsill,
The day her mother lost her sleeping pills.
She was sick and tired of being invisible,
Hard to see in colour when you’re miserable.
Veronika, Saint Veronika,
You can’t leave this world behind.
So be strong enough,
To hold onto us,
We’re still right here by your side.
No one ever thought that she was capable,
And the damage done is irreversible.
Now she clings to life inside a hospital,
Life she’s trapped inside a frozen waterfall.
Always said her life was never meant to be,
Stuck here living someone else’s dream.
Well beyond your window there is so much more,
Even every prison has an open door.
Veronika, Saint Veronika,
You can’t leave this world behind.
So be strong enough,
To hold onto us,
It’s just not your time to die.
And while the angels sleep,
All of the devils are awake,
Waiting to steel your love,
Right outside of Heaven’s gate.
And all the sacred hearts
Can’t numb the feeling from the pain
‘Cause when the drugs don’t work,
You’re gonna course His holy name.
Dear God yeah, God yeah
Dear God yeah, God yeah
Veronika, Saint Veronika,
You can’t leave this world behind.
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika,
We’re still right here by your side.
So be strong enough,
To hold onto us,
You can’t leave this world behind.
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika,
It’s just not your time to die.

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
My looks and smile have no become my curse,
Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee...
So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!
Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops
Running through my veins
My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
No sun, my room has now become my hearse
Cold sores, I'm beat got bruises on my feet,
My pride, these men have taken it from me!
So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!
Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops
Running through my veins
So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Mother I have lost my way

She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood
Killing time before she struts her stuff
She needs support and I've become the crutch
She'll never know how much she means to me
I'd play the game but I'm the referee
(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost you have found
(Surrender) Yourself to me
Even though I know what I'm looking for
She's got a brick wall behind her door
I'd travel time and confess to her
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
This flower don't belong to me
Why can't she belong to me
Every word, every thought, every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain we've endured until now
All the hope that I lost, you have found
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask

Has my moment come and passed

The gun is loaded when the class is full,
Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled.
Off the wake and they're back onto the stool.
I know that when I stare into your eyes,
I can see all the years of lies,
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised.
All the friends that I've ever known,
Are the streetlamps I follow home,
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone.
Oh Lord I just can't:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine.
His fate was written on a neon sign,
A DUI never changed his mind,
He got hooked like a fish caught on a line.
You never gave yourself a chance to shine,
Your destination's a chalk outline,
And when you get to the gates you'll be denied.
All the friends that I've ever known,
Are the streetlamps I follow home,
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone.
Oh Lord I just can't:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.
All the friends that I've ever known,
Are the streetlamps I follow home,
The tide keeps pulling me down,
I try to reach higher ground,
I'll never give up and drown.
Even though I just can't:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.
Tears into wine,
Tears into wine,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.

This Suffering (Dieses Leid)]
Like a target drawn across my chest
She's a bullet in Russian Roulette
You said you'd never turn your back on me
(Rescue me, rescue me)
Would you stand by me or bury me?
(Bury me)
Why don't we end this lie,
I can't pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces
Every time you tried to leave me blind
You'll never close my eyes
You'll never close my eyes
And watch me die
And when she spins the bottle round and round
Every time it leaves me gagged and bound
You said you'd never turn your back on me
(Rescue me, rescue me)
Would you stand by me or bury me?
(Bury me)
Why don't we end this lie
I can't pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces
End this lie,
I can't pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces
Every time you tried to leave me blind
You'll never close my eyes
You'll never close my eyes
And watch me die
(2x:)
Misery won't get the best of me
Cause now I'm calling, yes I'm calling on your bluff
Throw down the cards, I've had enough
Why don't we end this lie
I can't pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces
Every time you tried to leave me blind
You'll never close my eyes
You'll never close my eyes
And watch me die
End this lie,
I cant pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind,
Before it falls to pieces
Every time you tried to leave me blind
You'll never close my eyes
You'll never close my eyes
And watch me die.

When I tripped,I fell down naked
When I scratched my knees, they bled
Saw up my eyes, need no more
In our game there is no score
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty!
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, Die Tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
I'm insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I cut the cord, free fall
So high I seem so small
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty!
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry Agony, Cry Agony!
I talk to you
I'm insane, it's your fault
Try
I'm insane, it's your fault
Cry
I'm insane, it's your fault

Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty!
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls

Cry Agony, Cry Agony

Try Honesty, Try Honesty

And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be?
Cleaning up the mess we've made or watching your TV
And if you have to ask, then you don't have a clue,
There's snow in Arizona while they're bombing in Beirut
I hope some day... when I'm dead and gone,
We learned to right... everything that's wrong,
With loving hands... turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell... if life goes on...on...on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore....
Ya run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight...
'Cause you're too late! So kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
It just don't make no sense, there's a million mouthes to feed
We got military action over monetary need
And you can turn your back, or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion over universal greed
I hope some day... when i'm dead and gone,
We learned to right... everything that's wrong,
With loving hands... turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell... if life goes on...on...on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore....
Ya run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight...
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore....
Ya run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight...
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
And you can turn your back... but it won't go away
And you don't look scared... but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth... but you still have a say
And you just don't care... for tomorrow, today
And you can turn your back... but it won't go away
And you don't look scared... but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth... but you still have a say
And you just don't care... for tomorrow, today
Well no way-a-ay! way-a-ay!... no way, no way, no way, now way-a-ay!
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore....
Ya run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight...
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore....
