Here, from the king's mountain view Here, from the wild dream come true Feast like a sultan, I do On treasures and flesh, never few But I, I would wish it all away If I thought I'd lose you just one day The Devil and His had me down In love with the dark side I'd found Dabblin' all the way down Up to my neck, soon to drown But you changed that all for me Lifted me up, turned me 'round So I... I... I... I... I would, I would, I would wish this all away Prayed like a father dusk to dawn Begged like a hooker all night long Tempted the Devil with my song And got what I wanted all along But I, I would If I could, then I would Wish it away Wish it away Wish it all away Wanna wish it all away No prize that could hold sway Or justify my giving away my center So if I could, I'd wish it all away If I thought tomorrow would take you away You, my peace of mind, my all, my center Just trying to hold on one more day Damn my eyes Damn my eyes Damn my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum If wants and needs divide me, then I might as well be gone Shine on forever Shine on, benevolent sun Shine down upon the broken Shine until the two become one Shine on forever Shine on, benevolent sun Shine down upon the severed Shine until the two become one Divided, I'm withering away Divided, I'm withering away Shine on upon the many Light our way, benevolent sun Breathe in union Breathe in union Breathe in union Breathe in union Breathe in union So, as one, survive Another day and season Silence, legion, save your poison Silence, legion, stay out of my way

Disembodied voices deepen my suspicious tendencies Conversations we've never had Imagined interplay Psychopathy Don't you dare point that at me Heated altercations we've never had So I'm told Yet guided by them all Every single one Psychopathy Misleading me over and over and over Judge, condemn and banish any and everyone Without evidence Only the whispers from within Psychopathy Misleading me over and over Psychopathy Misreading me over and over and over Imagined interplay Imagined interplay Imagined interplay Don't you dare point that at me Don't you dare point that at me Don't you dare point that at me Don't you dare point that at- Don't you dare point that at me Don't you dare Don't you dare Don't you dare point that at- Don't you dare Don't you dare Don't you dare point that at-

"See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do" "And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor" "Go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em" "'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music" "That's enhanced your lives throughout the years?" "Real fucking high on drugs" "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration" "That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively" "There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves" "Here's Tom with the weather" "It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, that's what it is, okay?" "Keep that in mind at all times, thank you" Dreaming of that face again It's bright and blue and shimmering Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye In Out In Out A child's rhyme stuck in my head It said that life is but a dream I've spent so many years in question To find I've known this all along So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running? Shrouding all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been I do not recognize the vessel But the eyes seem so familiar Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding And you thought that I had run away Chasing the tail of dogma I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye and there we were So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me And you thought that I had run away Chasing a trail of smoke and reason Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye

I saw the gap again today While you were begging me to stay Take care not to make me enter If I do, we both may disappear Know that I will choke until I swallow Choke this infant here before me What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge or strike you down? But you're Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me You still love me, you still love me But you didn't need to push it on me You still love me, you still love me But you didn't need to push it on me Rest your trigger on my finger Bang my head upon the fault line You better take care not to make me enter 'Cause if I do, we both may disappear But you're Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me Pushing and shoving me You still love me, you still love me But you didn't need to push it on me You're pushin' and shoving me Pushing and shoving me I'm slipping back into the gap again I'm alive when you're touching me Alive when you're shoving me down, yeah But I'd trade it all For just a little peace of mind Push it on me, push it on me Push it on me, push it on me You're pushing, and shoving, and scrambling To keep my feet flat on the ground I am somewhere I don't wanna be, yeah Push me somewhere I don't wanna be You put me somewhere I don't wanna be Seeing someplace I don't wanna see Never want to see that place again Saw that gap again today While you were begging me to stay Managed to push myself away And you, as well, my dear And if when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay You minimize my movement anyway I must persuade you another way Pushing and shoving, pushing and shoving, pushing me There's no love in fear Yeah, I'm staring down the hole again Hands are on my back again Survival is my only friend Terrified of what may come, yeah Remember I'll always love you As I claw your fucking throat away It will end no other way It will end no other way

A groan of tedium escapes me startling the fearful Is this a test? It has to be Otherwise, I can't go on Draining patience, drain vitality This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith And I'm still right here But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith And I'm still right here Wait it out Gonna wait it out Wait it out (be patient) If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now Gonna wait it out If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now And I still may I still may Be patient Be patient Be patient I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this If there were no rewards to reap (I must keep reminding myself of this) No loving embrace to see me through (I must keep reminding myself of this) This tedious path I've chosen here (I must keep reminding myself of this) I certainly would've walked away (I must keep reminding myself of this) By now And I still may And I still may And I still may And I'm Gonna wait it out Gonna wait it out Wait it out Gonna wait it out
