Choke rings and thick black water
Rising tides me over
Ice caps disappearing
Belly up is so endearing
If you let me I will
Rub you the right way
I’ll be the lesser of two evils
I’ll be the decent deliverer of pain
Pleasure, destruction, and rain
If you, let me I’ll be
Your bitter and sweet
Dumping coal ’s on the comeback
Rivaling plastic bottle hay stacks
I’m a clear and present evil
Exactly what you’ve been begging for
To rub you the right way
I’ll be the lesser of two evils
I’ll be the decent deliverer of pain
Pleasure, destruction, and rain
If you, let me I’ll be
Your bitter and sweet
Let me
I’ll be the lesser of two evils
I’ll be your decent deliverer of pain
Pleasure, destruction, and rain
If you, let me I’ll be
Your bitter and sweet
Your bitter and sweet
Your bitter and sweet
Let me
Let me

Think I might be bleeding
My soul is receding
My body is aching
While my mind is wasting
Away
Think I might be bleeding
My soul is receding
My body is aching
While my mind is wasting away
Away
Away
Away
Think I might be bleeding
My mind upon a page
Insight from far sight
Everybody drops a line
And takes it away
Away
Away
Away
Think I might be bleeding
Nightmares are revisiting
Nobody told me
That everyone was fucking
With me
With me
With me
With me
Mister oooohhhh
It's messed up
Mister oooohhhh
It's messed up

Strike the moon you might find it falls a little close to your face
Consequences baby
Try to ride a wave realize the moon carried it along the way
No more today
Lessons to learn
Bridges can burn
Shoulders might break
Words do lose weight
And hearts will grow heavy
You don’t have to believe me
Waiting for a light to shine you shroud yourself in darkness
And wonder why
Consequences maybe
They say grey can change a mood if that’s true imagine what dark will do
Just might drive you crazy
Lessons to learn
Bridges can burn
Shoulders might break
Words do lose weight
And hearts will grow heavy
You don’t have to believe me
Lessons to learn
Bridges can burn
Shoulders might break
Words do lose weight
And hearts will grow heavy
I hope you are listening
Hold a cry inside you’ll find it explodes somehow anyway
Consequences sadly
The pain of the day if it stays will haunt your tomorrow
If left to play
Lessons to learn
Bridges can burn
Shoulders might break
Words do lose weight
And hearts will grow heavy
You don’t have to believe me
Awwwwww
Lessons to learn
Bridges can burn
Shoulders might break
Words do lose weight
And hearts will grow heavy
I hope you are listening
Consequences baby
Consequences maybe
Consequences sadly
Truly darling
Oooooooo
Consequences maybe
Oooooooo

Sitting in my black chair
Looking at my black hair
Is anybody there
The world is turning black
My hair is turning gray
Does anybody care
The world is
Turning
Holding in my black skin
Fighting it all from within
Does anybody dare
The world is turning back
My hands are drenched in red
Does anybody care
The world is turning black
The world it turns its back
The world is turning back
The world it turns on
Me
On me

Love No More

I said that I’m not gonna fall
No more
Well
I said
That I’m not gonna fall
No more
Hmmm
I’ve been weak
I’ve been worn
I’ve been hurt
I’ve been torn
I went to the valley and tasted the fruit
Felt the poison seeping through my roots
Oh yeah
Ohhhh
I’m not gonna fall
I’m not gonna fall
I’m not gonna fall
Well I’ve been burned and I’ve been used
Been lied to so much I can only sing the blues
I saw the serpent and took the venom
Every time somebody say I love you
Oh yeah
I’m not gonna fall
In love no More
I’m not gonna fall in love no more
I’m not gonna fall in love no more
I’m not gonna fall in love no more
No more
I’m not gonna fall
I’m not gonna fall
