PINBALL
MAP
(In
Flames)
As I aim for that bright white
day
Conflict serum is my aura
It seems that life's so
fragile
I guess I'll fly some other
time
I lack from superhighway
thoughts
Won't live as long as the
city lights
Soaked by underwater times
Electric splash on a midnight
drive
Wish I could rape the day,
just something radical
Lost the sense of sweet
things
Who's gonna take me widely?
Guided by the pinball map
The driver, still unknown
Who was sent to glorify?
Before we injected this
common pride
Sometimes I don't belong
Release me from your world
Pacified by the small things
in life
I wait for earthquakes to
rearrange
Never been able to use the
force
I only have it read to me
Despite all the misguided
faith
(Maybe) I'll find a place
in this mess
Early morning moments
A glimpse of joy
But soon it's over and I
return to dust
As I try to be
Everything and everyone
I waste away. |
ONLY
FOR A WEEK
(In
Flames)
I can't tolerate your sadness
cause it's me you're drowning
I won't allow any hapiness
cause everytime you laugh,
I feel so guilty
"I blame the needs that you
feed
cause selfish eyes would
not see"
Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beutiful
and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity
you gave
Sell me the infection, it's
only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the
misery that is me
No need for sympathy, it's
only for the weak)
On bleeding knees I accept
my fate
I've lost the ability to
paint the clouds
cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion
dark day
cause everytime you run,
I fall behind
"Far away is a place where
I hide
the truth that have to be
locked away"
And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man,
here I am
Shake the silence and hear
what it says
The tranquil pride that
become the lie. |
CLAYMAN
(In
Flames)
Your self control makes
me feel alone
I've tried confidence, had
it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection,
a mess without words
(And) As the seasons change
I'll continue to ignore
The image I project - me
without me
The picture that I scanned
is borrowed
After the education you stopped
making sense to me
Seems to me that it's all
the same, time and time again
Slowly, all that I believed
in, turning into a lie
To aim and miss, my supernatural
art
Spending to much time with
myself
Trying to explanin who I
am
How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
(Suddenly) I feel so invinsible
I'm the sculpture made out
of clay
I need someone to break the
silence
before it all falls apart
I need something to cling
onto
before I break you in parts
So afraid of what you may
think
And all the plastic people
that surrounds me
I have to find the path
to where it all begins
To teach the world my supernatural
art. |
BAD
DAY
(R.E.M.)
A Public service announcement
followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go
away.
Shits so thick you could
stir it with a stick- free Teflon whitewashed presidency
We're sick of being jerked
around
Wear that on your sleeve
Broadcast me a joyful noise
unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked
around
We all fall down.
Have you ever seen the televised
St. vitus subcommittee prize
Investigation dance? Those-ants-in-
pants glances.
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow
anesthesized
"save my own ass, screw
these guys"
smoke and mirror lock down
Broadcast me a joyful noise
unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
the papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more
Its been a bad day.
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please
We're dug in the deep the
price is steep.
The auctioneer is such a
creep.
The lights went out, the
oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other
guy
Sure, all men are created
equal.
Heres the church, heres
the steeple
Please stay tuned--we cut
to sequel
ashes, ashes, we all fall
down.
Broadcast me a joyful noise
unto the times, lord, Count your blessings.
Embrace the lowest fear/Ignore
the lower fears
Ugh, this means war.
Its been a bad day.
Broadcast me a joyful noise
unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked
around
We all fall down.
Its been a bad day... |
