oh mother what's the meaning of this? these eyes grow tired of staring into the abyss
oh father what's the meaning of this? finally come on something i can't solve with fists
and it's one for sorrow
two see those lies
if my company is murder
then use your alibis
i'm out here counting the ways i'm not free
oh sister what's the meaning of this? i'll keep your secrets if it's something you insist
oh brother what's the meaning of this? that knife in my back could use just another little twist
and it's one for sorrow
two see those lies
if my company is murder
then use your alibis
i'm out here counting the ways i'm not free
i guess what i've carved out
i've made my own
if this temple should fall
then follow me home
i'm out here counting the ways i'm that free
and it's one more dream on the horizon
and it's one more day in the cage
and it's one more tilt at my survival
and it's one day closer to the grave
and it's one more dream on the horizon
and it's one more day in the cage
and it's one more tilt at my survival
and it's one day closer to the grave

No better than you

another aftershock, we run amok, the will to stay alive
our calling card, the scant regard, for the need to survive
no warning shot, a headcase, running in a straight line
you'll get a second look, no, you're not off the hook, no, no not this time
bitter the truth, no better than you, set of in motion in my mind
i'm telling the truth, no better than you
bitter the truth, no better than you, settle the oceans in my mind
i'm telling the truth, no, no, not this time, no not this time
and now the gallows stage, your life upon the page, almost the perfect crime
and still you slip the noose, there ain't no truce, no, no, not this time
bitter the truth, no better than you, set of in motion in my mind
i'm telling the truth, no better than you
bitter the truth, no better than you, settle the oceans in my mind
i'm telling the truth, no, no, not this time, no not this time

who's this blown in? another charlatan?
out from the rock from which he crawled
baseless claims and shifting the blame again
watches the chaos as it unfolds
he comes alive in the lights
but they don't burn forever
he wants to scale the heights
but it's the fall he remembers
and it's the fall that'll
and it's the fall that'll kill ya
graceless fucker, as he pontificates
we're all eye rolls and stifled laughs
confidence gaining, no sense of irony
and in his head thunderous applause
he comes alive in the lights
but they don't burn forever
he wants to scale the heights
but it's the fall he remembers
and it's the fall that'll
and it's the fall that'll kill ya
it's the fall that'll
it's the fall that'll kill ya
it's the fall that'll
it's the fall that'll kill ya
he comes alive in the lights
but they don't burn forever
he wants to scale the heights
but it's the fall he remembers
and it's the fall that'll
and it's the fall that'll kill ya

if you feel the need for rebellion of the heart
best build a barricade to be pulled apart
if the need should arise to draw up those battle lines
no your victory and your loss are ever entwined
no, i ask nothing of you
at your door I'm not laying any blame
out among the tempest born
there's no shelter for the sane
let it rain
let it rain
circled around the brink so many times
a noose now spun from the ties that bind
bound and wound and forced now to play the part
blindfolded for an execution of the heart
no, i ask nothing of you
at your door I'm not laying any blame
out among the tempest born
there's no shelter for the sane
let it rain
let it rain
no, i ask nothing of you
was there any point to what we were saying?
no, i ask nothing of you
to what could i stake a claim?
no, i ask nothing of you
at your door I'm not laying any blame
out among the tempest born
there's no shelter for the sane
let it rain
let it rain
