1. LIE, LIE, LIE

Tired of seven hours a day
And weekends that go too fast

I set my sights on boardwalk streets
And a sunset that will last

I grabbed my coat and told my friends
That I was going away

Just a few long miles and a few good smiles
And I'll have my love today

Ohh, lie, lie, lie
Why must I look so hard?
Ohh, lie, lie, lie
Must I be so far?

Intent on a life that is what I dream
I set out to be free

Turned my check on my beliefs
With whatever in front of me

Sick of words like 'trust' and 'hope'
And 'hey man, you got to be good'

But if I want I'll sit and stare
All day at the clouds like I wished I could

And just for tonight
A place to rest my head

My syes were heavy
But I found no peace in this bed

With the silence around
I felt so alone again

Well, I closed my eyes with lifted hands
And I fell to my knees instead

Tired of tears and a broken heart
And love that fades too fast

I set my sights for golden streets
And a joy that will ever last...


2. BITTERSWEET

As sweet as it was
Or as sweet as it seemed
Like the most magnificent wonder
That was just a dream

And it shook me all up
And it stirred me around
But it left me cold and wanting
Cause it had no ground
Oh, none to be found

And I know why
(Know why I sell myself short)
And I know why
(Know why I sell my Savior small)
But it won't make me cry
Make me cry tonite

The beauty was such
And immeasurably so
My eyes were alive and bright
To the blinding glow

And as I embraced
To love it more
I shivered and fell like a leaf
To the forest floor
Where I was before

And I know why
(Know why I sell myself short)
And I know why
(I sell my Savior small)
But it won't make me cry
But it won't make me cry
(Why do we stand there?)
In constant fear
Almost near

As if my only thought
And my only breath
I gave and I gave and I gave
Till I'd nothing left
Except consequence

And I know why
(Know why I sell myself short)
And I know why
(Know why I sell my Savior small)
Have I run to Christ?
Have I?
(Why do we stand there)
In constant fear
Almost near
(Why do we stand there?
Without a care
Though so aware


3. SLIPKNOT

And fear
How it often seems to be all you hear
Like a siren that just fills up your ears
Will you let it show you what you hold
Oh, so close

And confused
I think I keep the devil amused
When I believe that his lies are true
But beyond the haze I know
Which glory remains

My need I seek
In this hope I own
Majesty, I see
Indifference is cold

And hate
It seems to run this world just great
Will they turn on time or roll in too late?
There's no turning round
On our knowledge now

And pain
Does it fall upon your life like rain?
It will not kill or make you insane
Just don't bow your neck
To the cutter's blade

My need I seek
In this hope I hold
Majesty, I see
Indifference is cold

And fear
Is it ever, ever all you can hear?
Like a siren that just fills up your ears
Would you let it go
And throw your arms to Christ, so close

My need I seek
In this hope I own
Majesty, I see
Indifference is cold


4. DIGGING DEEP

So now hold your breath
And set the stage
Prepare yourself for the cynic's rage
Is it a question still of who is man?
Or how they feel and what I am

But digging deep I found a way
What more do I need to say

Gone through life and death
And what remains
If any blemish hang your head in shame
Like a fever that just keeps you down
Would you simply let it stay around?

'digging deep' I guess I say
Is more pridefulness of that day
In truth I know that it is clear
I was distant, God is near

In the goodness and strife
Found and empty wanting life
Though so long made no sound
With tears I bowed myself down

Won't you greet this man
And hear his words
Maybe an open ear would make him stir
Could a closed heart have saved all man?

Digging deep I guess I say
Is more pridefulness of that day
In truth I know that it is clear
I was distant, God is near

So now hold your breath and set the stage
Prepare yourself for the cynics rage
Is it a question still of who is man?
Or how they feel and what I am


5. FOR THE LOvE OF MY COuNTRY

For the love of this country, hey
One man pinned up and traded away
For the love of the country, hey
He is...

For the love of this country, man
How He laid down to love His land
For the love of this country, man
He is all

But what can I say?
(Oh)
Run and hide?
(No)
How can I be?
(Low)

Do you see this place?
(Gone away, gone away, gone away)
Do you see this race?
(Gone away, gone away, gone away)

For the love of this country, see
How we shake our fists angrily
For the love of this country, see
We are so

But what can I say
(Oh)
Run and hide
(No)
How can I be
(Low)

Do you see this place?
(Gone away, gone away, gone away)
Do you see this race?
(Gone away, gone away, gone away)

For the love of this country, hey
Would I live so to fade away?
For the love of this country, hey
Would I fall?


6. SPEAK SOFT

Jerry had some beers and started to sing
He knows just what he means he don't mean a thing
He waited for the wisdom years would bring, to him
On the refrigerator door
Are the words he had written moments before
It says 'I hope I never have to go to war'

Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me

He goes to the dance and falls in love
Years later it's still her he's thinking of
She never spoke once or even looked up, enough

Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me

Houdini closed himself inside of a box
He didn't have a trick to spring the lock
Off the stage the people watched, the clock
Prison could be a nice place to live
The bars on the window like bars on a crib
Freedom is the least desired gift, to give

Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me

Jerry had some beers and started to weep
It's time to turn away, it's his time to sleep
Don't trouble yourself with seeking peace, go cheap
