Black and White

I made a bet with the devil, not an agreement, nor a deal
But a bargain with the man to make me whole, make me see and feel
He says if I can only tough it out, and endure all of this pain
Then he will come and take my soul, leave me to money and fame
I’d sell my soul if I could be whole, I’d like to see in color
I’d sell my just to regain control; I’d like to see in color
The money would be nice, that sweet sweet warm delight
My name up in lights, see in color
Open my eyes, no more black and white
I’d like to finally see; open up, consume me
I had enough, give me my reward
Cause things are getting tough
Take my weather soul
Take my fucking soul
Don’t give up on me now
I’ve given you all my body can give and I’m done
No more fun, pack up your bags, hit the road, cause I’m really done
But wait a minute you say, I turn around and scream, “Are you not done fucking with my head?”
And then it becomes clear, I look in the mirror
I’m the one seeing red
I have sold my soul to myself
I’m my own personal demon
And I’ll be eternally screaming
Let me see color again

Folklore

My fingertips don’t feel nothin’ no more
And happiness ain’t nothin’ but stories and old folklore
My inhibitions take over and leave me numb
What am I gonna do?
Drink some more
Feel no more
I am lost in this ocean of misery
A warhorse separated from the cavalry
A broken compass placed upon my hand
Severing all direction, bury my head in the sand
A tear in my heartstrings knowing you can only watch me wander
A fresh new start sings into my ear, but I hear no longer
What am I gonna do?
I am convinced; it’s all just stories and folklore
I am convinced; it’s all just fairytales, nothing more

Zenith

I knew from the first time I saw you, that I want to be in you
So come a little closer, come and walk my way
Cause I know you’ll feel the same
I see by that look in your eyes, I can tell by the way you’re biting your lip
Your body language it can’t hide that you want to board this ship
Feel my gaze browse your frame
Invite me to your bed to do the Devil’s dance
Entering a euphoric trance, this is true romance
Bewitched by your and your backside
I’m gawking at you wide-eyed, what a lovely ride
Don’t think that I’m blind
I see that you’re dripping wet with a lustful state of mind
Don’t think I’ll hold back
The peach may be ripe, but will bruise with every smack
Come bend over my leg, I’ll show you the way to pure release
Wave after wave, we begin to crave the inevitable summit
And night after day, we will misbehave until we’re both coming
Reach the zenith
Achieve the payoff
Look up at me; let me see those bright blue eyes
Slow and steady, breath gets heavy, hand muffled cries
And I know you’re hooked now, baby
Come let me in, we’ll forever sin
Come let me in, bliss will never end

Bare Hands

You’re fucking cold heart ripped out by my bare hands
That crooked grin smacked clean off your face by my bare hands
You need some help but then again, who am I kidding?
Look in the mirror and you’ll see wasted times, all you’re spending
Walk a mile in my shoes
Look at life through my eyes, and you’ll see why I hate you
Walk ‘til you can’t walk no more
Then you’ll be where I am, in the deepest pit, in the darkest cave
Because you put me there
My soul pried clean from your grip by my bare hands
That feeling of dread that dwells in your heart left by my bare hands
You say you’re innocent until you’re proven guilty
The jury’s all paid off; they’re on your side
You’re evil and filthy
But despite my efforts and constant persistence
You’ll always be there with counter-resistance
You weighed out the options and made up your mind
You’ve sold your soul and now the contract is signed
By your bare hands (You sold your soul)
By your bare hands (Your heart is cold)

Fresh Linens

I used to count the days until the weekend, now I’m just counting days
I used to love the way I felt in my own skin, now I know this ain’t a phase
They say that time will heal the deepest cuts, so give me a wrist watch
‘til then I’ll find a way to end this rut, just me and my glass of scotch
Pack me up into a hearse; this will be my final verse
No more pain and no more hurt
Just pack me up into the dirt
My god
I’ll keep counting days until my coffin’s bedsheets are made
I’ll just keep on sinning until I smell that fresh linens
I’ll keep finding ways to skip right through these dark decades
Six feet under grinning, wrapped up in these fresh linens
I’ll be damned if I make it ‘til the age of 25
Take that whiff of fresh sheet
