All the lyrics to sing along to from the latest Gearedmah album. Box Full of Death!
Box Full of Death (lyrics sheet):
01. COLOR ME UGLY
Here at the end
I can only imagine
What it must mean
To be unused
Drunk on the taste
Of a razor
And watching falling leaves
Just Passing through
I think I'll tell myself not to worry
The worst is yet to come, I fear
In the meantime, I'm stuck in this silence
Buried beneath all of the nasty gazes here
Go on color me ugly
I won't tell it if you won't
Something tells me one hand Washes the other
Go on color me ugly
I won't stop it if you don't
Nothing matters when you're
Face down in the gutter
It's nice to see you're just like me
Just as horrid as I am
I'm tryn'a drown myself in all this clutter
Go on color me ugly
I won't stop it if you don't
Nothing matters when you're
Face down in the gutter
02. BLUE SKIES
So my saddened wasted
Sunday's waiting
All alone like something new
The burn is tasted
The witness is willing
All day long, all I think of...is You
Blue Skies
Coming out from behind
The greyest clouds I've ever seen
You're MINE?!
Tell me, tell me
Cause I wanna hear it
Whisper it softly to me
I know all of
The things that you fear
Leave it with me, babe,
Just don't leave me, dear...
Blue Skies
Coming out from behind
The greyest clouds I've ever seen
SUNSHINE!
(breakdown)
Blue Skies
Coming out from behind
The greyest clouds I've ever seen
YOU'RE MINE?!
(It's only now, I see)
Blue Skies!
Coming out from behind
The greyest clouds I've ever seen....
SUNSHINE?!
03. DO AS YOU'RE TOLD
I see light through your eyes
Of prisms and stone
There's no need for me
Best I left you alone
But this?
Is getting so old!
Why can't you do as you're told?!
It isn't abuse!
'Cause words leave no scars...
No prison remains now...
But this?
Is getting so old!
Why can't you do as you're told?!
WHY?! CAN'T YOU DO AS YOU'RE TOLD?!
04. EVEN STEVEN
Come on girl
Won't you take me home?
It's getting late
I don't wanna be alone
I been waiting all night, just getting myself in the zine
Now I'm half past drunk
And a quarter passed getting stoned
I lost baby not 24 hours ago
Call me crazy, don't believe in takin it slow
If you wanna good time? Well, you know where to go
They call me Even Steven, and baby? NOW YOU KNOW
HELP ME OUT...HELP ME OUT!
Spin me round...and let me out....yeah!
Come on girl
Won't you take me home?
It's getting late
I don't wanna be alone
I been waiting all night, just getting myself in the zine
Now I'm half past drunk
And a quarter passed getting stoned
05. 2 TONE
Hey there lover
I've discovered a new way
Hey there mama...
When you gonna come out of the grey?
I've seen it all come down again
I watch you drowning down and grin
I've seen it all gone wrong again...
Pretty lady
Looking shady like
The Shadow of a mountain high
Hey there lover
I've discovered a new way
To watch it all disappear
I've watched fall back down again
I watch you fumble 'round the spin
I've seen it all come back again
I've seen it come around again
I think I've seen it all
I watch you fall back down again
I watch you drowning in all your sin
I pray you make it back, my friend....
06. WAKE THE DREAM
You are what you do
Not what you say
Some thrive in the moon
Some like the day
But you are nothing in between
You're heaven sent, but not so clean
You're everywhere you were
That's where you'll stay
Ok?
Heaven open up and let me play
I can't count enough the ways to pray
You and I all stuck in between
You got Heaven's eyes
But not so mean
They got a list of words
You're "not to say"
And that's supposed to be "OK"?
Okay...
07. BROTHER VAN
1st time you didn't even know
Just stopped in to catch the show
Guess you thought it was time to go
Well? I'm the one who called though you told us "No"
You can call me greedy
Or just a little bit needy...
I just wanted to meet you
Cause I
Want to get high
With you
One more time
(chorus X2)
Left a message on your phone
Now it sits there all alone
Waiting for you to come home and
Just call me...
You can call me crazy
Or maybe my thinking was a little bit "hazy"?
I just wanted to meet you
Cause I
Want to get high
With you
One more time
And I
Want to get high
With you
One more time
(Repeats before ending with: )
But you?
You left me here
When you died...
08. BOX FULL OF DEATH
And I got a box
Where I keep my medicine
I can take 4 a day
But I only let 2 in...
For a 'rainy day',
All the rest I save
For a real good time...or perhaps
Just an early grave?
Cause I?
Just wanna feel alright
And I?
Just wanna sleep through the night
And I....
I'm starting to feel again...
One more dose of medicine.
I saw the dealer today
They wouldn't sell me anymore
Said I have enough to "play"?
But they're not the ones tryna' score,
Now are they?
Cause I?
Just wanna feel alright
And I?
Just wanna sleep through the night
And I....
THINK I'm starting to feel again...
Maybe one more dose of medicine?
Cause I?
Just wanna feel alright
And I?
Would LOVE to sleep through the night
And I....
THINK I'm starting to feel again...
So one last dose of medicine,
My love?
My love....my love....
09. BURN IT TO THE GROUND
Hands of the clock
Slip, body shocked
Somebody save me
Once in the box
Nobody talks
'Cept for the praying
Burn it to the ground
Burn it down
My body's tired
All thoughts expired
Who's up for dying?
Hard as I may?
It's just giving way
No sense in trying...
Burn it to the ground
Just Burn it down!
BURN IT TO THE GROUND
BURN IT DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
10. EARLIER THAN I CARE TO BE AWAKE
Watched the sun come up the other day
I couldn't sleep but I, couldn't look away
Oh, the light...broke my heart in 2
Nothing left for me to do
And nothing more to say
Took a moment from a memory past
Flutter eye knows that it's coming fast
Oh, the light...broke my heart, it's true
Nothing left for me to do
Nothing is gonna last
Watched the sun come up the other day
I couldn't sleep but I, couldn't look away
Oh, the light just broke my heart in 2
Nothing left to do
And nothing more to say...
11. SUCK IT UP
Hey, I think I know you
Hey, I think I wanna share
Hey...I'm playing treason
It's not an excuse, but it is a REASON...
So to say
Hey, i think I'll show you...
Hey...it's not like you care...
Hey! I'm pent up sideways!
Kick out the glory but the Pride?
ALWAYS STAYS!
I got no reason to stay
I got no name to call
Here at the end of days
I wish it mattered AT ALL...
Hey, what are you want now?
Hey...don't oughta make them be
HEY! WATCH UP THE ENTER!
Before there was none...now, since then,
Repenter
Don't have a reason to stay
I got no name to call
Here at the end of days
I wish it mattered AT ALL...
12. HAPLESS SAP
I know what
You left behind
And I know what is left
Of your mind
Little Paper Tongue
Taught you EVERYTHING far too young
I know what you said
Behind locked doors
You think it's all ok..
BUT NO MORE!
Little Paper Tongue
Taught you everything far too young
"I've tired of the way
You've tried to say,
'I'm sorry...one more day and it's OVER'..."
I know what
You left behind
And I know what is on your
TWISTED, LITTLE mind
Little Paper Tongue
Taught me everything thing you've done
I know what you're up to
I know what it is you do
Yeah, I know what you've been up to
For FAR TOO LONG
YEAH...LITTLE PAPER TONGUE
TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE
YEAH, LITTLE PAPER TONGUE!
Told me EVERYTHING is DONE...
