Lyrics:
Want me to smile for the mugshot?
A rigged society’s subplot
I’d rather suffer than detox
Inside a water-boarding shadowbox
Hold me under the water
Have a look at my face
There’s consequences for souls slaughtered
Here at the bottom of Mirror Lake
I believe
that somebody will hear my scream
And one of ‘em will hold, feel, lead me back to love
Open up
You yellow-belly, cough me up
And show me how to face it
Recreated with new lungs
The absence of a reflection—
A lesson learned in deflection
Shred me section by section
Then lecture me in perfection
Let’s hold you under your water
Let’s have a look at your face
There’s consequences for souls slaughtered
Here at the bottom of your Mirror Lake
I believe
that somebody will hear my scream
And one of ‘em will hold, feel, lead me back to love
Open up
You yellow-belly, cough me up
And show me how to face it
Recreated with new lungs

I met this feeling on the freeway
Can’t keep it from getting in my soul
Some folks - they say “you’re so damn lucky”
But they don’t have to call that “home.”
Ain’t got no business in that circus
I ain’t no traveling rolling stone
I put it all inside that fire of Fear
(and) I watched it burn all of the way Home
‘cause Rock’n’Roll can’t save me
No more … no
Rock’n’Roll can’t save me
No more
No more…No more…
I’ve gotta another life on the highway
Ain’t got no room for myself
Pretty soon the world is slipping
Ain’t got no room for no one else.
Ain’t got no business in that circus
I ain’t no traveling rolling stone
I put it all inside that fire of Fear
(and) I watched it burn all of the way Home
‘cause Rock’n’Roll can’t save me
No more … no
Rock’n’Roll can’t save me
No more
No more…No more…

Lyrics:
You took my loyalty and I paid the price
Hell of a choice spent on a roll of the dice
I took the fire and I held it inside
I felt the burning and it kept me alive…
See the glow in this angry sky
Feel the weight of this vendetta, vendetta
Clock is ticking — a matter of time
Living under this vendetta, Vendetta Moon
You made the choice and now it’s me in your wake
Six in the chamber and there’s one with your name
Pin to hammer…you don’t have a prayer
Blood in the water and fear in the air…
See the glow in this angry sky
Feel the weight of this vendetta, vendetta
Clock is ticking — a matter of time
Living under this vendetta, Vendetta Moon
Vendetta Moon…

Lyrics
Inside a swindler’s eyes
Combing through the dark
With her fork-tongued lies
Only a girl - fairest in the world
Breathes out in black
While she’s choking on her pearls
It’s a nice way to say
“It’s to close to call”
Too hard to leave
To far to fall
So you let me go … let me go …. Let me go ….
There’s no “friends”
No “innocence”
No white as snow
Just bloody crimson
Three stains
Three razorblades
Three years of waiting,
Pissed it all alway
t’s a nice way to say
“It’s to close to call”
Too hard to leave
To far to fall
So you let me go … let me go …. Let me go …you let me go
All is not lost
But it’s too late
All that we say….
It’s too late “it’s too late”

Lyrics:
Do you truly deserve it?
Did inheritance reserve it?
That vanity mirror - that mirror
On your wall
You never fully see me
No chance you hear me
Yeah, you’re the fairest
The fairest of them all
So after all
You’re the bell of the ball
The queen of that Nothing
That Nothing at all.
I’d do anything
Not to dream that dream -
The one where you fold
Just before I can call
You’re the belle of the ball
I used to think I knew you
Yeah, babe - the real you
The salt of the earth
Plus the faults of your youth
I’d rather stiff your kiss
Than touch your fingertips
The former I hold my grip
The latter, I slip
I gather you have faith
Around your daddy’s waist
I’m just the Sin - sworn in
For your sake
For your sake,
You forsake

Lyrics:
Are you the one who
can unlock the door to
the end of the Shame? (Knock Knock, Knock Knock)
Am I the one who
is able to walk through
and see what awaits (Knock Knock, Knock Knock)
I go out and I get wasted
and you taste it on my tongue
You think this is about gettin' lit
when it's Glenlevit to put out a fire
Are you the one who
can unlock the door to
the end of the Shame? (Knock Knock, Knock Knock)
Am I the one who
is able to walk through
and see what awaits (Knock Knock, Knock Knock)
You think this is about choices
when it's voices, that you never hear
So tell me one more time
that I'm "Fucked up" and I'm "just lucky enough"
to have you around
Are you the one who
can unlock the door to
the end of the Shame? (Knock Knock, Knock Knock)
Am I the one who
is able to walk through
and see what awaits (Knock Knock, Knock Knock)
I want out of this sickness
this sickness, this sickness
I want out of this sickness,
this sickness, this sickness
You're not the one who
is willing to push through
and look at my face
But I am the one who
is able to walk through
and see what awaits
