Puddle of Mudd

told the lies

hey you choose it
hey abused it
hey refused it
hey you lose it

I cry and scream in the middle of the night
I can't go to sleep
I shake my head in the middle of the night
I can't go to sleep

It's not me, it's not you
why can't I sleep

. . .

Nobody Told Me

Looking back in my childhood
wasn't to bad but it wasn't that great
I carried the luggage like a bag of bricks
feels like it's holding me down again
starring down a pitch black road
painted lines show me the direction
sun is burning on my face
sun is setting me on fire

Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me where to run

I can't find my way back home
lost my head down there some where
could we just be gone alone
lived in doubt of fear i've shown
gazing down a long gray road
I see the stop sign way ahead
the sun is burning on my face
the sun is setting me on fire

Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me where to run
Nobody told me where to go
Nobody told me where to run
Nobody told me, Nobody told me

Same old shit different day
gotta get up, gotta get up
[x5]

[Chorus]

Stressed Out

Your hair looks like
it's falling out
left in the comb
it won't come off
your head hangs low
your legs get weak
leftovers on the tabletop

and I'm so stressed out yeah

you lift your arms
over your head
and run your fingers
through what's left
you eye's tear up
your stomach burns
your upside down
start to invert

and I'm so stressed out yeah
invert

so yo keep on living
but everything still falls apart
keep being who your being
and it keeps on falling out

save yourself
I'm on my last nerve
save your self
put on your best swerve
save yourself
I'm on my last nerve
save yourself
self-served

save yourself
save yourself

. . .

Hour Glass Man

Make the grade and fail the class
take the test and do your best
watch you burn you life away
buried in the hourglass

you can open up your mind

everybody's teaching you
trying to tell you what to do
if you listen you will find
that you can open up your mind
you can open up your mind

and I just can't wait for another day
and I can't sleep cause I'm to afraid
and I don't know where I'm gawn end up next

the hourglass man
has gone away
the hourglass man he's in the sand he's in the sand yeah
the hourglass man is buried in the hourglass

. . .

Migraine

There's a pain in my head and I can't reject
every time I try to think I can't remember anything
It's getting bigger and bigger should I squeeze the trigger
make the pain just fade away drop another pill and stay

no pain no gain migraine
no pain no gain migraine

I met the messenger there's no message for me
looked through all the magazines but I can't find anything
pain is getting bigger I can't pull the trigger
there's only one option left
now this pain it's in my chest

no pain no gain migraine

. . .

Said

Emotionless I slip in to the black
and there's no turning back now
everyone around me smoking crack
this tunnel is blinding
hallucinating I'm debating life
but it's still moving forward
if I could change the hands of time

Well I'd do it better

Just walk away
just walk away
just walk away

fearless I have fell in to a trap
and there's no way around it
everyone is crying in the back
my kin is around me
hesistating there's no second chance
when you know your a loser
keep on trying keep an open mind

I'm caught in a circle

Just walk away [x3]

Emotionless I slip in to the crack
fill as if I've fell in to the blue
hullucinating there's no turning back
everyone around me smoking crack

Just walk away [x4]

If you even heard a thing I've said

All I Ask For

Walters vanished got no one
Lived in fear on the run
Do no right, do no wrong
Drink all day until I’m gone

Yeah

At last I know how you felt
When I leave when I go
Lay alone by yourself
What you thought was all wrong
Do you know what to feel
What you thought was all wrong
Lay alone by yourself
?(I have no idea what he says here)

Have we lost it
Have we lost it just because
Have we lost it
Have we lost it just because

Walters vanished got no one
Lived in fear on the run
Do no right, do no wrong
Drink all day until I’m gone

And all I ask for
Nothing, Nothing
Well all I ask for
Nothing, Nothing
Well all I ask for
Nothing, nothing
Well all I ask for
Nothing

Lay alone by yourself in your bed
With all your thoughts inside your head
Lay alone by yourself inside your bed
With all your thoughts inside your head

All I ask for
Nothing, Nothing
All I ask for
Nothing, Nothing
Lay alone by yourself inside your bed
With all your thoughts inside your head
Lay alone by yourself inside your bed
With all your thoughts inside your head

Well all I ask for
Nothing, nothing
Well All I ask for
Nothing, nothing
Yeah
All I ask for
Nothing, nothing
All I ask for
Nothing

Just because

All I ask for nothing
Just because (repeated until end)

Purple Heart

As I sit and wait
I can't rest my head
I light my fire
as I smoke another cigarette
your want everything
but you break apart
there's no compromise
inside your purple heart
inside your purple heart
inside your purple
inside your purple heart
I smoke another cigarette
inhale it into my lungs
yes it takes my life away
and then it turns around
oh, I'm gone into the next life
and far beyond
oh, I'm gone into the next life
and far beyond

. . .

Locket

Can I see your world
through your locket
counting the thoughts of forgotten
drifting alone then the sorrow
passing the time or is it borrowed

can I see your world
can I see your world
can I see your world
through your locket
painting her mind
makes her forget
places they've gone to
but paths not traveled yet
looking to the day
when the heavens take her away

will you take me there
will you take me
can I speak to you there
oh, please speak to me
speak to me

. . .

Time

I can't believe
yeah their talking over
and all this confusion
is what I gather
well it's about time
yeah they draw the line
and the clock's still ticking
but there's no more curfew

I still can't find my way
someone show me a sign
I'm right back where I started
and I'm running out of time

not to touch this
please don't take that
it belongs to me
you better five it back
give it back
well it's about time
yeah they draw the line
there's no more curfew
and the clock's still ticking

not about giving in
not about your concern can show you what I mean
not about giving in
not about your concern
I can show you what I mean

. . .

Piss It All Away

What I feel it is real
what I do it's the truth
when I drink I can't think
when I use I need more
when you're weak I can't speak
close your eyes and taste this wine
the cork removed less purified
I throw everything away that you say
erase everything that you fake
what I feel it's a sin
tell the truth do not lie
make a wish it will come true
one way streets one track mind
open up and see the light
one million ways to hypnotize
I throw everything away that you say
erase everything that you fake
erase everything that you fake

piss it piss it all away [x7]

piss it piss it
