The Package
Thirteenth Step
Clever got me this far.
Then tricky got me in.
Eye on what I'm after.
I don't need another friend.
Smile and drop the cliche
Till you think I'm listening.
Take just what I came for,
then I'm out the door again.
Peripheral on the package.
Don't care to settle in.
Time to feed the monster.
I don't need another friend.
Comfort is a mystery.
Crawling out of my own skin.
Just give me what I came for, then I'm out
the door again.
Lie to get what I came for.
Lie to get just what I need.
Lie to get what I crave.
Lie and smile to get what's mine.
Eye on what I'm after.
I don't need another friend.
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far.
Then tricky got me in.
Take just what I came for,
then I'm out the door again.
Lie to get what I came for.
Lie to get what I need now.
Lie to get what I'm craving.
Lie and smile to get what's mine .
Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine.
This is mine.

The Noose
Thirteenth Step
So glad to see you have overcome them
Completely silent now.
With heaven's help,
You've cast your demons out.
And not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you off your
cloud,
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead.
Recall the deeds as if they're all someone
else's atrocious stories.
Now you stand reborn before us all.
So glad to see you well
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead with your
halo slipping down.
Your halo's slipping down to choke you
now.

Blue
Thirteenth Step
I didn't want to know.
I just didn't want to know.
Best to keep things in the shallow end,
cause I never quite learned how to swim.
I just didn't want to know.
Close my eyes just to look at you.
Taken by this seamless vision.
I close my eyes.
Ignore the smoke.
Ignore the smoke.
Call an Optimist, she's turning blue.
Such a lovely color for you
Call an Optimist, she's turning blue.
While I just sit and stare at you.
Because I don't want to know.
I just didn't want to know.
Mistook the nods for an approval.
Just ignore the smoke and smile.
Call an Optimist, she's turning blue.
Such a lovely color for you.
Call an Optimist, she's turning blue
Such a perfect color for your eyes
Call an Optimist, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call an Optimist, she's turning blue.
While I just sit and stare at you.
I don't want to know.

Vanishing
Thirteenth Step
Disappear
Disappear
Higher
Higher
Into the air
Slowly disappear
No, no longer here
Disappear
Disappear
Thinner, thinner
Into the air
Never really here.
Wasn't ever.
Like a thought brushing up against a sigh
Floating away
Floating away
Vanishing like a sigh
and slowly
Disappear
Disappear
Vanish, vanish into the air
Slowly disappear
Never really
here
Floating away
Floating away

A Stranger
Thirteenth Step
Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me
You're a stranger
So what do I care
You vanished today
Not the first time I hear
Or the last.
What am I to do with all this silence.
Shy away, shy away phantom
Run away terrified child
Won't you move away you fucking tornado
I'm better off without you
Tearing my world down.

The Outsider
Thirteenth Step
Help me if you can.
It's just that this is not the way I'm
wired.
So could you please help me understand why
you've given in to all these
reckless dark desires?
You're lying to yourself again, suicidal
imbecile.
Think about it.
You're pounding on a fault line.
What'll it take to get it through to you
precious?
(I'm) over this.
Why do you wanna throw it away like this?
(You're) Such a mess.
Why would I want to watch you disconnect
and self-destruct one bullet at a time?
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die.
Medicated drama queen.
Picture perfect, numb belligerence.
Narcissistic drama queen, craving fame and
all its decadence.
Lying through your teeth again, suicidal
imbecile.
Think about it.
You're pounding on a fault line.
What'll it take to get it through to you,
precious?
(I'm) over this.
Why do you wanna throw it away like
this?
(You're) Such a mess.
Why would I wanna watch you disconnect and
self destruct one bullet at a time?
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die.
They were right about you.
Lying to my face again, suicidal
imbecile.
Think about it.
You're pounding on a fault line.
What'll it take to get it through to you,
precious?
(I'm) over this.
Why do you wanna throw it away like this?
(You're) Such a mess.
(I'm) over this.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet
at a time.
What's your hurry?
Everyone will have his day to die.
(But) If you choose to pull the trigger,
should your drama prove sincere,
do it somewhere far away from here.

The Nurse Who Loved Me
Thirteenth Step
Songwriters: Greg Edwards & Ken Andrews.
Say hello to the rug's topography.
It holds quite a lot of interest with your
face down on it.
Say hello to the shrinking in your head.
You can't see it but you know it's there
so don't neglect it.
I'm taking her home with me and all
dressed in white.
She's got everything I need. Pharmacy
keys.
She's falling hard for me.
I can see it in her eyes.
She acts just like a nurse with all the
other guys.
Say hello to all the apples on the
ground.
They were once in your eyes but you
sneezed them out while sleeping.
Say hello to everything you've left
behind.
It's even more a part of your life now
that you can't touch it.
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in
white.
She's got everything I need. Some pills
and a little cup.
She's falling hard for me. I can see it in
her eyes.
She acts just like a nurse with all the
other guys.
She's got everything I need. Pharmacy
keys.
She acts just like a nurse with all the
other guys.
Say hello to the rug's topography.

Pet
Thirteenth Step
Don't fret precious I'm here.
Step away from the window.
Go back to sleep.
Lay your head down child.
I won't let the boogeyman come.
Count the bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drums.
Pay no mind to the rabble.
Pay no mind to the rabble.
Head down, go to sleep
to the rhythm of the war drums.
Pay no mind what other voices say.
They don't care about you, like I do.
Safe from pain and truth and choice and
other poison devils.
See, they don't give a F*** about you like
I do.
Just stay with me.
Safe and ignorant.
Go back to sleep.
Go back to sleep.
Lay your head down child

Pay no mind to the rabble.
Pay no mind to the rabble.
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of
the war drums.
I'll be the one to protect you from
your enemies and all your demons.
I'll be the one to protect you from
a will to survive and a voice of reason.
I'll be the one to protect you from
your enemies and your choices, son.
They're one in the same.
I must isolate you.
Isolate and save you from yourself.
Swayin to the rhythm of the new world
order and
counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm
of the war drums.
The boogeymen are coming.
The boogeymen are coming.
Keep your head down go to sleep to the
rhythm of a war drums.
Stay with me.
Safe and ignorant.
Just stay with me.
Hold you and protect you from the other
ones.
The evil ones
don't love you, son.

Gravity
Thirteenth Step
Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the
unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the

Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this

unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the
sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I
choose to live
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the
sun
Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the
unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the
sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

Imagine
eMOTIVe
by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Passive
eMOTIVe
"Dead as dead can be," the doctor tells
me
But I just can't believe him, ever the
optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability to become my
perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause
maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, "You
disappoint me,"
Maybe you're better off this way.
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you
could and might have been.
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up (why can't you) and face me (come
on now),
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and
say, "You disappoint me,"
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
You're better off this; you're better off
this;
Maybe you're better off!
Wake up (why can't you) and face me (come
on now),
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and
say, "You F****** disappoint me!"
Maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You F****** disappoint me!

The Hollow

run him like a blade to & through the
heart
no conscience, one motive...
to cater to the hollow.
screaming feed me, fill me up again.
temporarily pacify this hungering.
so, grow, libido, throw dominoes of
indiscretions down.
falling all around in cycles in circles.
constantly consuming.
conquer and devour.
it's time to bring this fire down.
bridle all this indiscretion
long enough to edify and permanently fill
this hollow.
feed me, fill me up again.

Magdalena
Mer de Noms
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your
Holiest of altars
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my Magdalena
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long
forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black Madonna
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena

Rose
Mer de Noms
Don't disturb the beast
The tempermental goat
The snail while he's feeding on the Rose
Stay frozen, compromising
What I will, I am
Bend around the wind
Silently thrown about
Again I'm treading so
Soft and lightly
Compromising my will
I am
I am
I will
So no longer will I
Lay down
Play dead
Play your doe in the headlights
Locked down and terrified
Your deer in the headlights
Shot down and horrified when
Push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this self-destructing
dance
That never would've ended
Til' I Rose,
I roared aloud here
I will
I am.
I am
I will
So no longer will I
Lay down
Lay dead
Play this
Kneel down
Gun-shy Martyr
Pitiful
I rose, I roared
I will
I am

Judith
Mer de Noms
you're such an inspiration for ways that i
will never ever choose to be.
oh so many ways for me to show you how
your savior has abandoned you.
Thank (F***) your god.
he did this, took all you had and left you
this way.
still you pray, never stray, never taste
of the fruit. never thought to question
why.
it's not like you killed someone.
it's not like you drove a hateful spear
into his side.
praise the one who left you broken down
and paralyzed.
he did it all for you.
oh so many ways for me to show you how
your dogma has abandoned you.
pray to your christ, to your god.
never taste of the fruit,
never stray, never break,
never choke on a lie,
even though he's the one who did this to
you
thought to question why
it's not like you killed someone.
it's not like you drove a spiteful spear
into his side.
talk to jesus christ as if he knows the
reasons why he
did this all to you.
he did it all for you.

Orestes
Mer de Noms
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle
One womb
One shame
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue,
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me here,
I can almost hear you scream
Give me one more medicated peaceful
moment
Give me one more medicated peaceful
moment
And I don't wanna feel this
Overwhelming hostility
I don't wanna feel this
Overwhelming hostility
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue,
Keeping me from killing you
Snip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you

Sleeping Beauty
Mer de Noms
Delusional
I believed I could cure it all
for you dear.
Coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you.
Make it right for you, sleeping beauty.
Truly thought I could magically heal you
Far beyond a visible
sign of your awakening.
I'm failing miserably to rescue
Sleeping Beauty.
Drunk on ego.
Truly thought I could make it right if I
kissed you one more time to
help you face the nightmare. But you're
far too poisoned for me.
Such a fool to think that I could wake you
from your slumber,
that I could actually heal you.
Sleeping Beauty
Poisoned and hopeless.
Far beyond a visible sign of your
awakening,
(I'm) failing miserably to find a way to
comfort you.
Far beyond a visible sign of your
awakening, (You're) hiding from some
poisoned memory.
Poisoned and hopeless.
Sleeping Beauty.

Praying for visions

Show me the way to forgive you.
Allow me to let it go.
Allow me to be forgiven.
Show me the way to let go.
Show me the way to forgive you.
Allow you to let it go.
Allow me to be forgiven.
Show you the way to let go.
Illuminate me.
Illuminate the way. I'm

where I'm to begin
Hoping to
Reconnect with you.
Hoping to.

Thinking of You
Mer de Noms
lying all alone and restless.
unable to lose this image.
sleepless, unable to focus on anything but
your surrender.
tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in
my head.
tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
so delighted with your new understanding.
there's something about a little evil that
makes that unmistakable noise i was
hearing,
that unmistakable sound i know so well.
spent and sighing with that look in your
eye.
spent and sweating with a look on your
face like
sweet revelation.
sweet surrender.
thinking of you.
thinking of you.
sweet revelation.
sweet surrendering.
