Another Shot of Whiskey
lyrics by Mia Zapata
You walk in with another headache
I can tell by the lines in your face
you seem to think if you just remove the problem
the answers are what will come next
Another shot of whiskey
and maybe I'll be ready
for what's still crowded in your head
Never thinking that all the good times
are what walked in with the bad
I don't know why we compromise ourselves
I thought it was a common understanding
with all I've tried to help with
Tell me, do I end up empty handed?
Another couple of beers while I'm safe here at the bar
and maybe I'll get me some rest
Don't know why all the good times have to turn-up with the bad
It's like a sword of hate
you brandish it so proud
I wonder if you're taught what you feel
or is it the way you got it cold dead in your eye?
It would be good if you could just
leave me well enough alone
The crime of fate is what I have to follow through
if I'm going to get past you
Another shot of whiskey
and that's about the only
way I can listen anymore
Go ahead and drown me of everything
At least I still got my place at the bar
It's like a sword of hate
you brandish it so proud
I wonder if you're taught what you feel
or is it the way you got it cold dead in your eye?
You walk in with another headache
I can tell by the lines in your face
you seem to think if you just remove the problem
the answers are what will come next
Another shot of whiskey
and that's about the only
way I can listen anymore
Never seen that all the good times
are what walked in with the bad

Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:12 AMCut My Skin, It Makes Me Human
lyrics by Mia Zapata
cut my skin, it makes me human
scorn your mind
just feel the pain
cuz it's what makes us human
it keeps us all the same
you lose your head on your chosen trip
the sight of your blood will lose your spit
and a broken heart will turn to sin
but when the wound is open
we're all the same
cut my skin, it makes me human
scorn your mind
just feel the pain
when you're lookin at pain you're lookin at truth
nothin like pain to make us all the same
i see you each day get up nine-to-five
you rush in a game of lies for need
but you enver seem to recognize
you're no better or worse than me
i dare you once just to make it hurt
how many times can you race around
with the world running faster faster then...
i never expect to catch up
cut my skin, it makes me human
scorn your mind
just feel the pain
when you're lookin at pain you're lookin at truth
nothin like pain to make us all the same
ahh yeah
cut my skin, it makes me human
scorn your mind
just feel the pain
cuz it's what makes us human
it keeps us all the same
you lose your head on your chosen trip
the sight of your blood will lose your spit
and a broken heart will turn to sin
but when the wound is open
you're all the fuckin same
cut my skin it makes me human
scorn your mind well just feel the blow
cause when you're lookin at pain you're lookin at truth
nothin like pain to keep us all the same
cut my skin, it makes me human
scorn your mind
just feel the pain
cuz it's what makes us human
it keeps us all the same

Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:13 AMWhile You're Twisting, I'm Still Breathing
lyrics by Mia Zapata
i tear myself apart and throw it on the ground in front of you
(can't hide that i'm a social wreck)
and though i sit within the wounds that one day could destroy me
sometimes it's hard to find my friends
and as far as i can see it,
i ain't got nothin else
and with all that you've taken from me,
well, go ahead and answer that yourself
this twisted world can sometimes seem like it's caving in around me
but i will not let it waste my mind
and though you're holding out on what lets me know where i stand
sometimes it makes it worse to know i ever trusted you
and as far as i can see it,
hell, i ain't got nothing else
and with all that you've taken from me,
well, go ahead and answer that yourself.
and as far as i can see it,
hell, i ain't got nothing else
and with all that you've taken from me,
well, go ahead and answer that yourself.
don't don't try it with me,
but don't, don't tell me lies
and then call it some kind of truth
go ahead and walk me walk closer, escort me to the edge
push me push me i don't care
cause i'll keep coming back
slightly stronger, despite the worlds you've left and unbled and said
well just keep your twisting, keep your twisting
but i'll keep breathing, i keep breathing -

Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:14 AMSecond Skin
lyrics by Mia Zapata
i've thought about it, hell,
about a million times
it takes all my strength
just to keep me calm
i have to tell myself, it's best just to breathe
holding it inside will only help to do me in!
each time i close my eyes
i see another chain
it's one i can't forget,
something i can not break out of
i need a second skin,
something to hold me up
can't seem to get out of this hole
i've dug myself right back in
just to wake up tells me, hell, i must be brave
it hits me like a drug
shot into my vein
it's not as delightful
delightful of a pain
immobilizin me
almost makes think i'm dead
i need that second skin
something to hold me tough
can't do it on my own
sometimes i need just a little more help, well
i want that chance to give every drop that's left in me
i need a second skin
something i can not break out of!
i just tell myself, girl, just let it breathe
it's a calmness i'm always searching for
but the dirt it gets so heavy
it falls above my head
seeping from under my feet
it just keeps on getting deeper
i need a second skin
something to hold me up
can't do it on my own
sometimes i need just a little more help
i've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me
i need a second skin
something i cannot break free of!
though no ever said it'd be easy
still one's left to deny
the choice that comes between
your willingness to survive
though you're knowing what you stand up against
a world set to deceive
you need a special strength yeah
i've got that second skin yeah
i've got that chance to give
i've got the only way that i know how to live with it
i need a second skin
something to hold me tough
i need a second skin
SOMETHING I CANNOT BREAK OUT OF!! -

Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:15 AMBob (Cousin O.)
lyrics by Mia Zapata
awaken in a state, not my own
the only thing that's real
is that amongst these walls
i whisper to a fear that sleeps in my soul
shutting out my conscience, but i think i know
it hurts me to be angry
it kills me to be kind
but my only torment
is my own disguise
waiting on a favor only goes to show
there's not much in them you can hold
awaken to the only fact that i've
simply wasted chances, but i'm not yet to die
and waiting for my temperament to calm
maybe they can't hear the cracks behind these eyes.
it hurts me to be angry
it kills me to be kind
but my only torment
is my own disguise
waiting on a favor only goes to show
there's not much in them for you to hold
it starts to become something
you can't touch but you can feel
there's something else surrounding me
it's not easy to see
waiting on the chance i've got
i hide behind these walls,
i look through the cracks
i see the same mistakes that i once made
all that i can tell you is there is a price to pay
it hurts me to be angry
it kills me to be kind
but my only torment
is my own disguise
waiting on a favor only goes to show
there's not much in them for you to hold -

Re: lyrics
Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:15 AMGuilt Within Your Head
lyrics by Mia Zapata
each time you fall
the pieces are only more and farther between
and the pices won't fit together
with all the guilt built in your head
i see you shake
i see the paint underneath your fingernails
scratching the walls
scratching the moments that brought you here
each time you thought you'd hold on
trying to stay clean for someone
maybe you should just take a look inside yourself
cause you create your own hell
i see them scurry while they're helping dig your grave
people are so quick to wave your weakness in your face
i'm here to tell you
keep one step back from one day at a time
there's only so much above your head
that you're supposed to carry
each time you thought you'd hold on
trying to stay clean for someone
maybe you should just take a look inside your hell
cause you create your own self -

lyrics by Mia Zapata
There is a silence that paces us all
It's sensitive to the peace that we've known
And if I could take that crevice in me
I'd fill it up with all that you bleed
I was walking into the water
and I was trying not to breathe
I could feel the current pulling
and I just kept in deeper
I'm sick of the pain that you're feeling
It's weighing you down
If I could erase it all within just one dive
I wrap you precious around my soul
and now I'm letting you go
as I drown these evil spirits and penetrate the obstacles
I feel the seaweed creeping up my skin
It's like a monster that's reaching for me
with the passion of life I've got left
i'm gonna use it to sacrifice myself
well, I dove down into the seaweed
Scared once before, but not anymore
As it twists and turns me away from the surface
Here's my chance of letting it go
I'm sick of the pain that I'm feelin
It's weighing me down
If I could erase it all
within just one fuckin' dive
I wrap you precious around my soul
and now I'm letting you go
as I drown these evil spirits
and penetrate the obstacles -

Re: lyrics
Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:17 AMPrecious Blood
lyrics by Mia Zapata
there are these things I want the most
but they are usually one step furthest from my reach
oh, but they always stand close enough
to take me to the next fuckin drink
cause when it cuts, it really does
my soul spills the blood
don't know how long it's gonna take
but I'm gonna need a little more one day
sometimes. I just want to know
faster than my precious blood will let me roll
Is it real or tell me is it wrong
to keep these dreams strongest in my mind?
cause when it cuts, it just gets deeper babeh
like when I go to touch you,
you're the furthest from me
don't know how long it's gonna take
but I 'm gonna get me get me get a little more one day
oh, it's laying tired in me. it does
and when I see It there it makes me wanna..
it's laying tired In me, it does, when I see it there it's all I can do to stare it in the face
even the hours hold heavy on me
even the hours just hold the pain
and even the times get heavy, little weak
even the hours just hold the pain, there is no gain
all in all it comes back to me
with every sip of poison that I taste
it's only hurting me and nobody else
when it lies to me, it's the strongest in my mind
cause when it cuts, it just gets deeper babeh
like when I go to touch you,
you're the furthest from me
don't know how long it's gonna take
but I 'm gonna get me
get me
a little more one day -

Re: lyrics
Sun, October 9, 2005 - 12:17 AMBeauty of the Rose
lyrics by Mia Zapata
i don't which way to go from here
i put my hand through a liquid mirror
and i wonder just what i've reached
is this my blood dripping or an hallucination?
guess it depends if i feel the pain
i take the bottle just to never set it down again
it's thrown into the ocean,
you better believe there's a message in it.
i've gotta get through to you somehow
but if it lays on the ocean floor,
well then i failed again
it just explodes itself in my mind
and it's blinding me from what's right or wrong.
the beauty of the rose,
it pulls my instinct to grab it
the clenching of the stem
i feel the thorns catching under my skin!
yeah, it's something just like this
pulling you in until it makes its threat
then it's not easy to pass judgement
do me a favor,
when i reach my hand out
won't you please just cut it off
so i can understand a little more of the situation
taking me for all and left had
i can't tell which is right or wrong
what's black or white, which is left or right
could you tell me which is it supposed to be for me?
i don't know which way to go from here
i turn left and right and i'm still standing in the rear
i can't tell the way the bloody situation runs
i hear you talking but i can't understand a word
i don't know what the hell to do with this
i hear you talking, but it's all full of bullshit!
i take the bottle just to never set it down again
i lay there wishin i was dead.
