Pulley Album

Long, long time ago I saw this dick outside a punk rock show
He sized me up from head to toe
I think he wants to kill me
His girlfriend looked like some big piece of shit and started drooling
I think she wants to do me

And if at first you don't succeed you try and try again
I told her you're not my type
I'm just here to slam
I've seen Agression
Ill Repute just started playing the last song that they're playing
Cherokee people Cherokee nation

What comes around will go around
What they said to me will the good times be all you forget

What comes around will go around
What they said to me will the good times be all you regret

So here we are again we're right back where we started at
This assholes right up in my face
I guess that's how he likes to act
I broke bottle in his teeth
his smile's kind of sweet
He won't be fucking with me

So when I'm seen out at a show they step aside and let me go
It's such a joke
I'm really not that tough
There is no moral to my story
Hit him first and took his glory which was worse?
I guess that's just what worked for me

Sitting in the backyard on a Sunday in the morning
Touched by you and all your curls that sucked me in
I can hear you when you're screaming
I hear you when you're talking to me
Laughing at the jokes, laughing at the jokes I've said before

It's only over when you've given up on me (x4)

You held it in for so long detaching yourself from everything I gave
Now you're on your own there's nobody else
So happy on the outside with your conscience coming home
Blindfold me a role, blindfold me a role you play so well

It's only over when you've given up on me (x4)

There's one thing left to say (x4)

Those words I said to you were never true
Justified everything I gave to you
I won't ever look at you the same
Step aside you always walk away

It's only over when you've given up on me (x4)

Stare at you and I can't
believe a song inside your
head Words to remember
Where to begin When will you
find them Covered up those
memories that run inside your
head the sound isn't better Do
you remember?

CHORUS
I will walk away from a disease
that's full of love and hate,
time to time I'll write these rhymes,
it takes me to a better place,
Stop trying Stop trying Stop trying
Never try again.

Voices and melodies
struggle starts within Where
will it take you where will it end
it always seems to Cover up
those memories thart run inside
your head the sound isnt better
do you remember

CHORUS
I will walk away from a disease
that's full of love and hate,
time to time I'll write these rhymes,
it takes me to a better place,
Stop trying Stop trying Stop trying
Never try again.

I'm looking for a friend today
Another victim just like me
A lunatic a loser a freak
Another casualty from a fucked up society
I gave my all to the system
Half my life is still in question
All about the money and power
All the greed they've devoured

You never gave any credibility for a vision given to the enemy
And on the faces of humanity
A stone's eye throw for a man
On a pedestal

You sold your soul to the man
Another deal a deal gone bad
Another seed that never gets planted
Corporate insects destroy our planet
Never going to let another day die
My friend you and I
Feel the heat from the fire outside
Burning hot still alive

You never gave any credibility for a vision given to the enemy
And on the faces of humanity
A stone's eye throw for a man
On a pedestal

I keep it bottled inside me
You keep it bottled inside you

See the sun drop colours of red
Broken bones for a mouth well fed
Bring back a real train of thought
Another tool for the melting pot

You never gave any credibility for a vision given to the enemy
And on the faces of humanity
never gave any credibility for a vision given to the enemy
And on the faces of humanity
A stone's eye throw for a man

In the mirror I can see reflections staring back at me
I turn away and don't like what I am
The reasons why you can run and hide from answers
You would soon deny and tell me that I still don't understand

Now I always make believe I was modeled just like you
Followed in the footsteps finding everything I needed to

Walk like the dead never hear anything
The legend I've become inside of me
Boy at his youth one day finds out the truth
The years just pass him by

Never look back into the past your reality never seems to last
You fill the voids with shit and believe
Well I've made mistakes on my behalf
Paid the price can only laugh on how and why things really ought to be
Living on the edge of where my fear would touch the sky
Branded by the future scars that make me realize
I'm growing old and my story's been told, will it ever see the light of day
It's all about me this reflection I see as the years just pass on by

Figure out this anger as I watch the time go by
All these dreams and feeling without you ever on my mind

Walk like the dead never hear anything
The legend I've become inside of me
Boy at his youth one day finds out the truth
The years just pass him by

I'm growing old and my story's been told, will it ever see the light of day
It's all about me this reflection I see (x4) as the years just pass on by

don't wait until it's too late
everyone is gone everyone is here
i won't wake up to find myself alone
lying on the bed of nails
and try to figure what went wrong

so all my life destroyed my mind
give me all the drugs you have
one more shot and i'll be dead
all this time and i'm still alive
take one step in front of me
don't look back or you will
open up the world that's rolling around inside your room
and let the monsters out
open up the world that's rolling around inside your head
and let yourself out

i can't even try to change the past
cause everywhere i walk
they will follow me there
everything then seen inside of me
is a piece of something
something that they'll never be

take one step in front of me
don't look back or you will
open up the world that's rolling around inside your room
and let the monsters out
open up the world that's rolling around inside your head
and let yourself out

Did it have to end this way?
Never hear your name again
Many things I'd like to say
Didn't make any sense to me

Now you seem to be at peace
See what you have left behind
A trail of memories runs deep
Who thought we'd ever run out of time

Everyday that you're away don't know how we make it through
Everyday that you're away I miss another night with you

They signs they hang up on your face
I think you knew we understood
We were immune to what was you
We still held on to what we could
Words keep turning and the light keeps burning
Brighter than before
A trail of memories run deep
Who thought we'd ever run out of time

Everyday that you're away don't know how we make it through
Everyday that you're away I miss another night with you

As a child you gave to me what I see now
When I close my eyes think of you
Stepped aside always walked on by

Everyday that you're away don't know how we make it through
Everyday that you're away I miss another night with you

well I knew things started getting rough and this party had to stop
and all my friends were outside getting fucked with by the cops
the kegs have all been tapped out dry and the bottles thrown away
I gotta find someone I know to show me out of
wonder what had happened to the girl I was talking to
she made a run for it I saw her but I can't tell who is who
maybe i'll find her when the smoke clears things are sure to settle down
right now I need a ride home it's nowhere to be

why's it got to be this way it just turns into another lazy day
one thing you can count on i'm always ready let's go

well the cops have left and the streets are bare and she's nowhere in my sight
it's normal for me interriptions ruining my nights
I never get to score i'm not a winner with the girls say it doesn't bother me
(but I like you as a friend)
I can't believe all this because the band was playing loud
another boring friday night another neighbour on the prowl
and maybe next week when I go out it can happen all again
this is what I live for one day I will

why's it got to be this way it just turns into another lazy day
one thing you can count on i'm always ready let's go

why's it got to be this way it just turns into another lazy day
one thing you can count on i'm always ready let's go

guess i'll let you know just how the story goes
give you everything you want to hear
tell me something i already know
it's been long and hard
weary from the road been traveled
can i walk away with you
i don't know why everything is always black and white
i don't know if anything will ever get it right
words that fill the space when i say how i feel
tell me something i already know

this feeling comes again my stomach aches with pain
somewhere in the dark i lay this tripis long and overdue for me
all the years they pass
stories grow to disbelief
which one of you should i believe
and i don't know why everything is always black and white
i don't know if anything will ever get it right
words that fill the space when i say how i feel
tell me something i already know

alone i write alone i dwell
alone i rot trapped in this shell
too old to be young but i'm not old
loneliness i hear it's call
run behind but i still fall
never happy
sometimes i think i'm in hell

going down this road
going down this road
going down this road again

going down this road
going down this road
going down this road again

Lost again I try to find myself
Direction found unknown
Where else can I go
Sit me down and say to me
Tell it like it is
Desperation eats at me
I feel I need a change
Promises I've made
So helpless and innocent
Hard to try and figure out just what it is I say

Still falling back behind again
Will I always chase you?
What's in it if I do?
My ideas that you sold me
Don't need to understand
What it is I am
Or who it is I am anymore
Helpless and incocent so hard to try and figure out just what it is I wanna say to you
Please help me understand
I reach my hands for someone there
Start the circle of where I've been
Remember where I've been

The walls that protected have all fallen down
And I don't know how much more I can take
I know their faces and I know their names
Been to the places and I remember

finally agreed to pledge my allegiance here i've agreed to make a change
swallowed my pride enough to bow out on my own
they want to make you feel like you're the one to blame
pick up the past and let it go
writing you to tell you how to say i told you so
now i know what it means to be wanted
now i know how it feels to be wanted
now i know how it feels to be wanted
watch everything fall through

just learned your name again and i couldn't take that look away from you
going back to see how it disappeared remember last year when we were here
open mind when you needed me and my heart was open too
writing you to tell you how to say i told you so
now i know what it means to be wanted
now i know how it feels to be wanted
now i know how it feels to be wanted
watch everything fall through

now i think i do and i'm falling down
and you never say anything
that's just how you feel when you're falling down
and you never say anything at all
anything at all

you don't know how it feels to be falling down like
you don't know how it feels to be falling down like me

Listen too, what we did in 82
Come along way so have you
Often think about, all the things that we have shared
The ups and downs

So thanks to all our friends,
Without you we'd be at home again
Goodbye its not the end,
Hope that we'll see you when we're here again

Goodbye to all our friends, goodbye.
