Lynch/Pilson - Wicked Underground
A BREATH AND A SCREAM
I convince myself- as I lie awake
Spiritual insanity
Etched in my mind- have I seen too much
Spiritual insanity
Convince yourself that you're alive
Sad conviction that you're right
BEAST IN THE BOX
I remember when I was no one
Listen what the preacher says
Bury the BEAST IN THE BOX
I just thought I'd let you know
Listen what the preacher says
Bury the BEAST IN THE BOX
WHEN YOU BLEED
I'm standing in front of you
And it feels like
WHEN YOU BLEED- From inside
I'm caught in a shadowlife
And it feels like
WHEN YOU BLEED- From inside
VACCINE
Like a deadly virus
Medicated paralyzed
But I don't need a VACCINE
Feel like you're floating
Elevated tried to fly
But I don't need a VACCINE
But I don't need a VACCINE
Wallow in eternal toxic
But I don't need a VACCINE
EVER HIGHER
The loss you've known
Oh lie beside me where you'll know you're safe
Now see this cross
The key you hold
Oh right before you lies a rolling wave
The eyes you've worn
Oh right before you there you'll know you're safe
ZERO THE END
Your angry scar
In the end it's all a space- a capturing
This empty shell
In the end it's all a space- a capturing
THE EVIL THAT YOU ARE
You're torn with pain
But there's no answer to
In THE EVIL THAT YOU ARE
Wrapped in black
How can you believe
In THE EVIL THAT YOU ARE
AWAKEN
Your world
Unbroken light surrounds you
You AWAKEN me
The warmth
The flame of life within you
You AWAKEN me
GOODBYE UTOPIA
I see the children on the streets, running from a desperate life
GOODBYE UTPOIA
You hear the words of the people who say they're gonna change it
all
It's leading me to somewhere now
GOODBYE UTPOIA
State of war remain so constant, take the battle to the streets
GOODBYE UTPIA
All the same to me
INNER VIEW
I look - face down
Flooded room of godless rain
Sun fire - pane glass
Oh Unchanged
I look - face down
CLOSER TO NONE
I've been- called away
But you'll see me calling
[Hide my head in a hole]
Can't escape the burning
Reeling from reaction
Do you hear me calling
[Hide my head in a hole]
I don't wanna see
It's all in my head
And I fight to feel- but it hurts me to exist
Better find a better way
Dust of angels came to me
I prayed that hope would find a way
Hide behind a hollow face
I fight to feel the empty space between
A BREATH AND A SCREAM
But I cannot turn away
Is it out of reach- do I crash or do I burn
What do you want from me
Dust of angels came to me
I prayed that hope would find a way
Hide behind a hollow face
I fight to feel the empty space between
Deep desires magnified
It's only hope that fades away
Maybe I'll convince myself
Underneath you're someone else
In the end I hope you'll fade away
Til you see into your life
The shallow corner of a dream
Light the candle with the sun
Dark desire to become the space- between
You told me I was worthless, I was down and out
So, so won't you tell me where I've gone wrong
Cuz it burns to be inside you
Evil things inside your head- and all around
I won't sleep I must confess
Til the creature's laid to rest
Laying it down the hard way
Bury the BEAST IN THE BOX
Never coming back again
That this rainbow got no pot of gold- no not at all
I've gotta exercise some self-control
The way you work it all the time, work it all the time
Til the creature's laid to rest
Laying it down the hard way
Bury the BEAST IN THE BOX
Never coming back again
And I can't seem to change
I still got a lot to prove
And the vision's still the same
Blind skin will break
And it feels like
Closer to hate
Blackened dream- broke and crystallized
WHEN YOU BLEED- Paralyzed
And it's all you know- it's all you know
WHEN YOU BLEED
A face without a name
I'm walking a broken line
Where the pieces still remain
Strange lies create
And it feels much
Closer to hate
Blackened dream- broke and crystallized
WHEN YOU BLEED- Paralyzed
And it's all you know- it's all you know
WHEN YOU BLEED
Seeping in your veins
Start to eat away at you
With an acid reign
Drop you with hydraulics
Falling to the ground
But you started to rise
With a look in your eyes
Shining crystals in the underground
A blessing and a curse
Unconsciousness or ecstasy
I don't know what's worse
I'll take a shot
I don't need a cure, until they bury me
I don't need a VACCINE
I just gotta make my quarrantine
But I don't need a VACCINE
Up a concrete stream
Stillborn the image flashing
On the computer screen
Marred by creation
Oblivious to pain
But with no exception
You lost reception
You're unable to sustain
Brought you back to earth
Strapped and wasted mainline dose
Who could end your search
I'll take a shot
I don't need a cure, until they bury me
I don't need a VACCINE
I just gotta make my quarrantine
Drowning in the endless vile
Divided in my beating heart, that
I'll never reconcile
Soul injection, pain and pleasure
Overtaking me
I don't need a cure, until they bury me
I don't need a VACCINE
I just gotta make my quarrantine
But I don't need a VACCINE
The endless gray
The unread sign
You hideaway
And save the life you laid aside
Upon my back
And through these eyes
You'll understand
That first you crawl
So take my hand
I'll lift you up
And let you stand
EVER HIGHER
Is there in view
The cage you lock
You still break through
So let the water turn to wine
Been blinding you
The path you've gone
Divides in two
The arms of life are open wide
It's just a sickness you embrace
And take too far
Along with beautiful excess
You choke on clouds of steel
It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, oh
In the end
A voice haunting back
In a word concealed
In a world - alone I feel
In the end a sweet release
ZERO THE END
A fatal hunger to deny
A broken spell
Amid the ecstacy intense
Unleash a frozen scream
It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, so
In the end
A voice haunting back
In a word concealed
In a world - alone I feel
In the end a sweet release
ZERO THE END
So afraid to lose control
You killed the flame
And your madness taken hold
The secrets that you hold
The light is gone
THE EVIL THAT YOU ARE
And you are
You lost your plastic crown
Miles of words
But the kingdom's burning down
What you don't understand
The magic's lost
THE EVIL THAT YOU ARE
Someone's gonna pick you up and pull you
From your plastic star
THE EVIL THAT YOU ARE
Your bliss
Your hush
The feel
I long
To touch
And with your eyes
To life that I have to breathe
You AWAKEN me
So I'm holding you
Holding you endlessly
The sun
The crush
Your look
The wait
Too much
That fills my eyes
To life that I have to breathe
You AWAKEN me
So I'm holding you
Holding you endlessly
See the headlines read the news, the world has changed
Goodbye the dream
So much for promises
And throw away the key
Then you hear about the way they fell from grace
It's all the same to me
Goodbye the dream
So much for promises
And throw away the key
A war of words, a war of race- living in a world of greed
A golden child that lost its color
The tragedy is too intense
A life of just a silent dream
That all gets laid to violent rest
GOODBYE UTOPIA
GOODBYE UTOPIA
And throw away the key
All the same to me
What lies within
Laid bare - thrown out
With nettled skin
Untame - untame
Golden image locked away
From me
Appear to change
Redline - nervous pink
Unfold disdain
What lies unchanged
What lies unchanged
A dying wish, a broken gift astray
Conscience- not the same
Encircling me like wind against the rain
Calling out
It's what I gotta do
And the day is coming
Coming down
I don't wanna see
[Destination's out of control]
Oh- I- Don't wanna see
[Cold face into the sun]
It don't have to be
CLOSER TO NONE
Where the ashes bloom
Can't erode the trembling flame that's
Still a part of you
Letting go the high
Tried to rape the bleeding light that's
Keeping you alive
Calling out
There's not a lot to lose
Cuz the day is coming
Coming down
I don't wanna see
[Destination's out of control]
Oh- I- Don't wanna see
[Cold face into the sun]
It don't have to be
CLOSER TO NONE
It don't have to be
CLOSER TO NONE
