The Outlaw Torn

And now I wait my whole lifetime for you (2x)

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide for you
I search the outside, search inside for you

To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one who seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime

Outlaw of torn (2x)
And I'm torn

So on I wait my whole lifetime for you (2x)

The more I search, the more my need for you
The more I bless, the more I bleed for you

You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime
Outlaw of torn (3x)
And I'm torn

Hear me
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me
And when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

Prince Charming

There's a black cloud over head, that's me
And the poison ivy chokes the tree, again it's me
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street, you walk on by
I'm the little boy that pushes hard and makes him cry

There's a dirty needle in your child, ha ha, stick me
Empty bottles still in hand, still dead, still me
I'm the suit and tie that bleeds the street and still wants more
I'm the Forty-five that's in your mouth, I'm a dirty, dirty whore

Yeah, look it's me, the one who can't be free
Much too young to focus but to old to see
Hey, look it's me, what no one wants to see
See what you brought this world, just what you want to see
Hey ma, hey ma, look it's me

Yeah, he wants to become father now, me again, me
The marks inside your arms spell me, spell only me
I'm the nothing face that plants a bomb and strolls away
I'm the one who doesn't look quite right as children play

Yeah, look it's me, the one who can't be free
Much too young too focus, but too old to see
Hey, look it's me, what no one wants to see
See what you brought this world, just what you want to see
Hey ma, hey ma, look it's me

Look up to me, what to be and what to fear
Look up to me, look it's me at what you hear
See right through me, see the one who can't be free
See right through me, look it's me what no one wants to see

Now, see the black cloud up ahead, that's me
And this poison ivy chokes the tree, again it's me
And I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street, you walk on by
And I'm the little boy that pushes, pushes, makes him cry

Yeah, look it's me, the one who can't be free
Much too young to focus but too old to see
Hey, hey, look it's me, what no one wants to see
See what you brought this world, just what you want to see
Hey ma, hey ma, look it's me, yeah, it's me

Hey ma, hey ma, look it's me

The Prince

Originally performed by Diamond Head
Now I see his face, I see his smile
Such a lonely place, no golden mile
Eyes tell of morbid tales of his black heart
His deeds through ages past tell of his part

See his face, see his smile
Time to die

Angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns

See his face, see his smile
Time to die

I was born a fool, don't want to stay that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven, so don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in hell, from the day I die

See his face, see his smile

Time to die

The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure
The public eye's disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
You're living Catch-22
Deluding
A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
You're being ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
