1. Let me drown
Stretch the bones over my skin
Stretch the skin over my head
I´m going to the holy land
Stretch the marks over my eyes
Burn the candles deep inside
Yeah you know where I´m coming from
Give up to greed, you don´t have to feed me
Give up to fate, you don´t have to need me
So let it go, let it go, let it go, won´t you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
Slip down the darkness to the mouth
Damn the water burn the wine
I´m going home for the very last time
So throw it away, you don´t have to take me
Make no mistakes I´m what you make me
So let it go, let it go, let it go, won´t you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
I see you turn around and burning down
The feeling starts to sink
I feel the hurt surround me
Please dissolve me
She´s resolved to be
Heal my wounds without a trace
Seal my tomb without my face
I´m going to the lonely place
Give up to greed, you don´t have to feed me
Give up to fate, you don´t have to need me
So let it go, let it go, let it go, won´t you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
2. My Wave
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Break, if you like the sound
If it gets you up
If it brings you down
Share, if it makes you sleep
If it sets you free
If it helps you breathe
Don´t come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it
Off my wave
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Pray, if you want to pray
If you like to kneel
If you like to lay
Don´t come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it
Off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
My wave
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Don´t come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it
Off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
My wave
3. Fell on Black Days
Whatsoever I´ve feared has come to life
Whatsoever I´ve fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I´m doing time
Cause I fell on black days
Whomsoever I´ve cured I´ve sickened now
Whomsoever I´ve cradled I´ve put you down
I´m a search light soul they say
But I can´t see it in the night
I´m only faking when I get it right
Cause I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don´t you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying
No, not tying
I sure don´t mind a change
But I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
4. Mailman
Hello don´t you know me
I´m the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I´ve seen how you give it
Now I want to receive
I know that you would do the same for me
I know I´m headed for the bottom
But I´m riding you all the way
For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face
For all that reminds me which is my place
For all of the times when you made me disappear
This time I´m sure you will know that I´m here
I know I´m headed for the bottom
But I´m riding you all the way
My place was beneath you but now I´m above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you won´t see
A future so holy without me
I know I´m headed for the bottom
But I´m riding you all the way
5. Superunknown
If this isn´t what you see
It doesn´t make you blind
If this doesn´t make you feel
It doesn´t mean you´ve died
Where the river´s high
Where the river´s high
If you don´t want to be seen
You don´t have to hide
If you don´t want to believe
You don´t have to try
To feel alive
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
And then it steals your soul
If this doesn´t make you free
It doesn´t mean you´re tied
If this doesn´t take you down
It doesn´t mean you´re high
If this doesn´t make you smile
You don´t have to cry
If this isn´t making sense
It doesn´t make it lies
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
And then it steals your soul
Get yourself afraid
Get yourself alone
Get yourself contained
Get yourself control
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
And then it steals your... soul
6. Head Down
We see you laugh
We see you dance
We take that away
Every day
We see you cry
We turn your hear
Then we slap your face
We see you try
We see you fail
Some things never change
We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile from your face
Bow down to live
Your Life
Head down, hide that smile
Head high got to smile
Head high like a song you like
7. Black hole Sun
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
´Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I´ll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won´t you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won´t you come
Won´t you come
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappea
8. Spoonman
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I´m together with your plan
Save me
All my friends are Indians
All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones,
Spoonman
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Thank you, good night people
9. Limo Wreck
Tears of the feeble, hands of the slaves
Skin of the mothers, mouths of the babes
Building the towers, belongs to the sky
When the whole thing comes crashing down
Don´t ask me why
Under the shelf, the shelf of the sky
Two eyes, two suns, too heavenly blinds
Swallowing rivers, belongs to the sea
When the whole thing washes away
Don´t run to me
I´ll be going down for the rest of the slide
While the rest of you harvest the gold
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall
I´m the wreck of you
I´m the death of you all
I´m the wreck of you
I´m the break and the fall
Under the red break of the lights
Heroes in stretches inch to the site
Blowing the pieces, belong to the wind
When the whole thing blows away
I won´t pretend
I´ll be going down for the rest of the slide
While the rest of you harvest the souls
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall
I´m the wreck of you
I´m the death of you all
I´m the wreck of you
I´m the break and the fall
Behind the blood red break of the lights
Lies the wreck of you for the rest of your life
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall
I´m the wreck of you
I´m the death of you all
I´m the wreck of you
I´m the break and the fall
10. The Day I tried to live
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar´s change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you
11. Kickstand
Kickstand, you got loose and I threw up
Kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother says that it´s alright
My mother says that´s the only life
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Kickstand, I got saddle made of leather
Kickstand, I got the words to come together
I got the urge to ride your trike
My mother says that´s the only life
12. Fresh Tendrils
Long time coming
It seemed to take me through
Long time coming
Many served the few
And long to taste the shame
That bows down before you
Long time coming
It seemed to get me by
Long time coming
It seemed to satisfy
You longed to taste the shame
That everybody tries
Shame shame throw yourself away
Give me little bits of more than I can take
If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes
Give me little bits of more than I can try
Long time coming
It seemed to take me through
Long time coming
Many served the few
And long to taste the shame
That bows down before you
Shame shame throw yourself away
Give me little bits of more than I can take
If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes
Give me little bits of more than I can try
13. 4th of July
Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie
Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
Pale in the flare light
The scared light cracks & disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares
The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
And I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
Now I´m in control
Now I´m in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember
Your sweet everything
Light a Roman candle
And hold it in your hand
Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
14. Half
When I hand my love in
I´ll be done
A handed glove
Hides the door
Half a chance
Half a chance
We still
Have a chance
Mr. Full, Mr. Have
Kills Mr. Empty Hand
Half a chance
Half a chance
We still
Have a chance
15. Like Suicide
Heard it from another room
Eyes were waking up just to fall asleep
Love´s like suicide
Dazed out in a garden bed
With a broken neck lays my broken gift
Just like suicide
And my last ditch
Was my last brick
Lent to finish her
Finish her
Bit down on the bullet now
I had a taste so sour
I had to think of something sweet
Love´s like suicide
Safe outside my gilded cage
With an ounce of pain
I wield a ton of rage
Just like suicide
With eyes of blood
And bitter blue
How I feel for you
I feel for you
She lived like a murder
How she´d fly so sweetly
She lived like a murder
But she dies
Just like suicide
