Warrant Album

You speak from both sides of your mouth
I tried to work it out
You hated me all along
I tried to get along

You talk to much for me
It's verbal therapy
I don't need words to fight with you
Just my left and civil right with you

BRIDGE
Make up your mind
Stop wasting my time

CHORUS
Then the storm broke
And the rain fell
Then the flood came
Made the river swell
Then the damn broke
I just let it go
I was pulled down
By the undertow

There was sunshine and now there's only rain
And blue skies you turned them into pain
Words were so fine I wanted everyone to know
What other people hold back
I loved the way you showed
I never noticed blood on you before
But everytime you pull another in
I see a little more
You control things
You tell them you're a friend
But if they ever try to get away
You crush them in your hands

CHORUS
Now I see with my own eyes
And not through someone else's lies
Yes, I followed
But with a knife I call the truth
I sever ties and cut me loose
I won't follow

Mother should know
Father should go
Battered dreams and broken bones
Living hell when he's at home
Feel so much pain
I'm not to blame
Cannot move cannot breathe
He should die instead of me
Some break away
Some choose to stay
But every scream kept inside
Leaves a scare either way

CHORUS
We are on our own
We all die alone
Black eyed broken truth
I'm still bleeding from a
Wasted Youth

Welcome, to my family picnic

When the sun came up today
I asked him please to go away
Something died in me last night
I feel hollow on my inside
We talked until the words
Were yells
You'll never understand me
I can tell
Oh, God I feel like hell
Thow another penny in the
Wishing well

Rain, Rain go away
I don't care much for
The color grey
If I stay too long, hopefully
I'll get washed out too the sea
And drown in my misery
See your face looking down at me
And if I asked you for help
You'd hand me a glass of water

CHORUS
Give me some, Give me one
Who understands my meaning
Give me some give me one
Who won't laugh while I'm bleeding
Give me sum give me one
Give me love

You always change your colors
when you find yourself in a fix
And when you get yourself
in trouble
You just pack your bags and split
And your off to find a new love
Who doesn't know you
Like some do
Put on a smile like it's make up
Protection from the truth
If they don't have what you need
You won't need them right back
And if they gave you the world
You'd find something wrong with that

CHORUS
You better find out which road
Your on
You can't change who you are
By the colors you put on
You better find somebody
To lean on
Make up your mind Chameleon

I need some room to breathe
Listen, speak and follow free
Socially a refugee
I need some room to breathe
They want into my head
I push them out instead
Tear me into tiny pieces
They want into my head

CHOURS
Trapped inside this place
I can't move, its like living
In a crawlspace

BRIDGE
I try to find myself a way out
But they come from all directions
So, unsure I'll just stay here in
My crawlspace
And I'll escape detection

I don't want to be
I don't want to see
You so happily, hangin' around
A christmas tree
I don't want to know
But I don't want to go
before I start to share
How much I think I really care
I don't want to walk
I don't want to talk
I can't offer you
Anyting pretty with a view
I'm not growing up
I'm just getting old
It's so fucking cold
Anywhere even close to you

CHORUS
In your mouth, in your mind
In your body from behind
In your heart, in your dreams
Inside of you until you scream
All I wanna do
Is live inside of you

Last night I had a dream
About you
And how you fit in my naked life
Mistakes, I guess I made a few
Here and there and from time to time
yeah, Oh yeah
I know, Lord I dreamed about it
Every detail in every move
I'm sure, there's no doubt about it
I'm trying to break through -
To you
I've tried several other people
Came close a few times but then
It just broke down
I wont lie, I wont kid about it
Merry come 'round and 'round

BRIDGE
Hey love, hold me close
Pull me in, don't let go
Faith and love, aren't enough
I should know, give me hope
Let it show
I think you know
How to make me feel high

CHORUS
All, all that I want
Is a moment of your precious time
And all, all it would take
Is let me come over to your side
I think you know how
To make me feel high

I don't need love I just need gasoline
A broken line so I can pass the things
That try to slow me down or get in my way
I don't need someone holding on too tight
I'd rather have a warm clear southern nite
Miles of empty road, wind in my face

Give me a life to ride
Leave what I hate behind
Outta sight outta mind
Just give me a life to ride

Now this one wants a brand new picket fence
This one wants his wife to make sense
Neither one remembers ever being free
Now i control my life and destiny
Yes I am the king of everything I see
Never gonna suck my life away
Never gonna be a slave

Give me a life to ride
Leave what I hate behind
Outta sight outta mind
Just give me a life to ride

I used to dream in technicolor
Now it's all gone black and white
I used to have myself a schedule
Now I stay awake all night
I wish I'd seen this coming
But I don't have second sight
I should have found somebody else
Or built a wall around my heart
Spent the money in my wallet
On a ten foot body guard
Maybe then you leaving me
Would not have hit me quite so hard

BRIDGE
I wish that I could've turned
This around

CHOURS
Been shot down
I'm broken in pieces
All over the ground
Been shot down
I'm totally speechless
Can't make a sound

BRIDGE 2
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Could never get my heart
Together again
Its smashed into pieces
And cast to the wind
I have to sart all over
All over again

I held you for a moment in my hands
The moment with you slipped away like sand
Through my fingers now
In front of me a choice I have to make
To carry on or simply fade away
I lose you either way
I'd like to say that it was easy, it was hard
To say goodbye, I thought that I would die
Chorus
Letting go of you, was so hard to
And I thought that it would kill me but I made
It through somehow, and I'm so much stronger now
I gave to you my love and my respect
But I could never make you love me back
I denied it so I grew bitter watching you grow cold
My life became your prison, took it's toll
I decided
Like a bird that's trapped
Inside a gilded cage
It's hard to set it free,
Hurts to watch it
Fly away
