Down The Line

Verse:
I fell down on the floor
I might have been drinkin' too much again
I have been starting a war
With only myself
And while I'm going down I'm keeping close
I don't wanna explain
Someday you will know it all
My fucking private hell
Chorus:
I've been running down the line
Running down the line
Running down the line with you, babe
I've been running down the line
Running down the line, yeah
Verse:
You won't believe what I saw
Last time I tried to look at myself
I started drinkin' at dawn
To cool down my hate
But everything just went wrong
It went straight to hell
I have become my own wall
A prisoners tale
Chorus:
I've been running down the line
Running down the line
Running down the line with you, babe
I've been running down the line
Running down the line, yeah
Bridge:
I fell down on the floor
I might have been drinkin' too much again
I have been starting a war
With only myself
And while I'm going down I'm keeping close
I don't wanna explain
Someday you will know it all
My fucking private hell
Chorus:
I've been running down the line
Running down the line
Running down the line with you, babe
I've been running down the line
Running down the line, yeah

Closer Than Death
04:04
|
|||
It seems like you feel like
Begging for the abuse
I promise I will tear the very last drop out of you
You act like you're fighting
Like you're giving up
When the grab around you is losing
You're going for a knock-out
Lies are hangin' heavy
Upon your crafty head
As you won't realize
That you're lying to your friends
Darkness will follow
As time will pass you by
You'll be faking your way from
The bottom to the headlines
BRIDGE:
Look behind your shoulder
What do you see
A new kind of nightmare
You know it's me
Chorus:
I'm closer than death
I'm closer than death
I'm closer than death
I'm closer than death
Verse:
You go once
You go twice
After the weakest link
You don't care what you do as long as you'll be moving in
You rip up
You tear down
You fire up the skies
Cryin' and screaming until they believe your lies
When you have the power
And you start to get vored
You're manipulating
Put your dirty mask on
Then you'll try to break down and you can trust my help
If you ever beg for mercy I will drag you down in hell
BRIDGE:
Look behind your shoulder
What do you see
A new kind of nightmare
You know it's me
Chorus:
I'm closer than death
I'm closer than death
I'm closer than death
I'm closer than death

Coughing Blood
03:31
|
|||
Verse:
I lost the point and the will to live
My shames and sins got me overwhelmed
People are preaching but they probably don't know
What it feels like to face the floor
Look into my eyes 'cause my heart is closed
I welcome your lies
As you throw the first stone
I can't do shit 'cause I fucked up my mind
I'm so ashamed of being alive
Ignoring all the signs that is telling me to slow down
I'm diggin' my grave in hells direction
When I put my gun right up to my head
I wonder why I forgot to buy some bullets
Chorus:
I'm coughing blood
And now you know
That I'm coughing blood
And now you're gone
Yeah, I'm coughing blood
Verse:
People don't react before they hear the gun
Love ain't a feeling just a bad choice, son
And now I know that you know I'm a broken man
You know I know that you don't give a fucking damn
I know I'm my only problem
Know I'm my only friend
I know I'm on the fucking razors edge
And I got nowhere to hide and I got nowhere to go
The only thing I am is way down low
Chorus:
I'm coughing blood
And now you know
That I'm coughing blood
And now you know
That I am coughing blood
Verse:
You don't really know what this is all about
I'm sure if I died you wouldn't ask no questions
When we speak in my dreams
You don' understand
Why I am so angry - so fucking insane
I know I'm my only problem
Know I'm my only friend
I know I'm on the fucking razors edge
And I got nowhere to hide and I got nowhere to go
The only thing I am is way down low
Way down low
Chorus:
I'm coughing blood
And now you know
That I'm coughing blood
And now you're gone
Yeah, I'm coughing blood
And now you know
That I'm coughing blood
Yeah, you know I'm coughing blood

Medication
04:27
|
|||
Verse:
For 340 days I've been drinkin'
I don't even know what I've been thinkin'
And I drowned the sun with my tears
How the fuck did I end up out here
Been workin' for nine long hours
But I only slept for five
While the voices are gettin' louder
I just wanna escape my mind
Chorus:
Need my Medication
To ease my addiction
Don't wanna realize
Thought about it more than twice
Someday I'll pay the price
The fact that I
Need my medication
Verse:
For 50 weeks now - without content
I don't wanna know the consequence
The dot's 'fore my eyes has gone worse now
How can I survive in this world
I been alone and by myself
My body is a dark shell
Last time we met I saw you smile
Went straight to the bar for five more pints
Chorus:
Need my Medication
To ease my addiction
Don't wanna realize
Thought about it more than twice
Someday I'll pay the price
The fact that I
Need my medication
BRIDGE:
Ten AM and I'm four beers down
In an hour I'll be rolling on the ground
Haven't tried to be sober for a while
Puking behind the stage before showtime
Now I'm down the ground and I cant' breathe
And I still don't like to fucking live
I'm in need to fuck myself over
Still tryin' to miss tomorrow
Chorus:
Need my Medication
To ease my addiction
Don't wanna realize
Thought about it more than twice
Someday I'll pay the price
The fact that I
Need my medication

You're outta your mind
When we are going wild

And the other 'round your neck
As I feel your lips are moving closer to my...

Haunt My Hate
05:04
|
|||
I can tell you how far out I've been
And I can tell how much further I'll go
But whatever really happens
Gonna be the push that comes to shove
I'm all over my whsikey 'cause I ran out of gin
All the love you think that U'm having
Is forever a missing link
And you act like you're so sorry
And you tell me how you feel
But everything you ever told has been words I couldn't believe
I know where you live
And I know where you'll go
Even during the day time I'll go right after your throat
Chorus:
I will haunt my hate
And by the end of the day
You'll finally feel my pain
And I will haunt my hate
Till it finally pays
I promise you won't be safe
Verse:
And while my minds is in disorder
And the darkness has taken my soul
I will hunt all my nightmares
In this paradise of fools
You thought that I would slip
You thought I wouldn't break no rules
But I'm hateful motherfucker
Ain't nothing that I'd rather do
And you say I'm having a prolbme
I'm having more than two
I stopped laughing at my cries
When I started thinkin' about killing you
Chorus:
I will haunt my hate
And by the end of the day
You'll finally feel my pain
And I will haunt my hate
Till it finally pays
I promise you won't be safe
Cello solo (Luise Dahl-Blumenberg)
Verse:
You might think it's getting better
But I'm sure that you don't know
For every fucking minute
It's getting darker and getting more cold
I'll leave my aces at the table
And empty my glass of rum
And I will bring my gun to your door - stand still until you'll fall
And I will bring my gun to your door - stand still until you'll fall
And I will bring my gun to your door - stand still until you'll fall
Chorus:
I will haunt my hate
And by the end of the day
You'll finally feel my pain
And I will haunt my hate
Till it finally pays
I promise you won't be safe

You'll never believe in nothing but your own insanity
You never loved no one but your own vanity
You victimized yoursellf
Misconduct - Dishonesty
You brag about your sins
Forcing another abortion
Verse:
You always been so proud of your own stupidity
You're in need of being loud
All you say is gibberish
And the moon shines on your shade
'Cause you're too rock 'N' roll to see
You believe you're your own God
How fucking naive can you be

You're your own empty shell an ongoing livin' disease

You cry tears for your own thrill

Nothing really made no sense in your mine
I watched your bag while you stabbed mine
You cry tears for your own thrill

You're an F-Six-O-Point-2
You're an F-Six-O-Point-2
You're an F-Six-O-Point-2

Verse:
I can't quit my drinkin'
I need to clear my mind to wash it all away
But I keep on shrinkin'
And I think I haven't slept for fucking twenty days
When I'm getting wasted
I wanna fuck
I wanna fight
And despise myself
My sight ain't getting clearer
I don't trust anything but my hatred
Chorus:
It's the only way I know
Chaingang on the death row
As I'm tryin' to find a way home
I keep my chaingang on the death row
It's the only way I know
Chaingang on the death row
As I'm tryin' to find a way home
I keep my chaingang on the death row
Verse:
You think you know so damn much
You don't even know how you got to know
And you never had a problem
About telling me how to know right from wrong
But my eyes see double
It depends on how much I wanna die
Just keep on twisting that knife
My heart's as epty as your fucking mind
Chorus:
It's the only way I know
Chaingang on the death row
As I'm tryin' to find a way home
I keep my chaingang on the death row
It's the only way I know
Chaingang on the death row
As I'm tryin' to find a way home
I keep my chaingang on the death row
Bridge:
Clear my mind while drinkin'
I gotta feel
I gotta need to be a better son
I think I'm addicted
To the booze
I got to choose a new direction
Everytime I stay sober
My world fall down my world starts to burn
So I'm putting out the fire
With hate and fear and alcohol
Chorus:
It's the only way I know
Chaingang on the death row
As I'm tryin' to find a way home
Chaingang on the death row
It's the only way I know
Chaingang on the death row
As I'm tryin' to find a way home
I keep my chaingang on the death row

Carry Me Home
02:59
|
|||
Verse:
Took my shit and started to run
The Holy Book tried to safe my soul
But I went down to the river
Like grandpa used to do
Livin' ain't easy in this part of town
My old flame burned me down to the ground
But her curls and her eyes will forever freeze my bones
Chorus:
I'm gonna raise my thumb
Please, carry me home
I step wrong everytime I try to walk
I shoot everybody when I carry my gun
Now I'm moving up north to where I come from
Everytime I drink I get too drunk
I'm not even drinkin' because of the fun
But I lost my mind now I need to ramble on
Chorus:
I'm gonna raise my thumb
Please, carry me home
I'm gonna raise my thumb
Please, carry me home
Verse:
I'm gonna leave this town and everyone behind
You won't miss me even if you tried
I'm the bastard son - my life ain't a life
I got no money but I got the blues
I don't mind turning you into a fool
Woman you'll find your love but don't trust me
I might be wrong
Chorus:
I'm gonna raise my thumb
Please, carry me home
I'm gonna raise my thumb
Please, carry me home

Bastard Blues
03:17
|
|||
Verse:
Every morning is another disappointment
And every day I'll ask
Why haven't anybody shot me in this God abandoned town
There's talking in the streets but that ain't nothing new
Since the day that I turned fifteen I just wanted to be moving on
Chorus:
I got the bastard blues
I got the bastard blues
Be sure if I ever catch you it'll be your last trip 'round the sun
Verse:
You can try to pull me down
Kick me as hard as you can
I'm a crazy kind of nomad 'cause I never went nowhere
My blood's on the boiling point
And my blue eyes have turned black
My souls at the municipality
'Cause there was nothing left
Chorus:
I got the bastard blues
I got the bastard blues
Be sure if I ever catch you it'll be your last trip 'round the sun
