Look at me, all of me
Look at me, all of me
I am not a man
I am not a woman
All I could taste is my burning heart
I'm sure I'm not a man
I'm sure I'm not a woman
All I could wear is a willing smile
Sew me back together again
Back
Sew me back together again
Back
Together again
I am not a man
I am not a woman
All I could do is keep on crying
Sew me back together again
Back
Sew me back together again
Back
Together again
Look at me, all of me
Look at me, all of me
Look at me, all of me
Look at me, all of me
Sew me back together again

Jealous
04:04
|

|
Cut through the nerve
Cut through the bone
Cut through the blood
I'm shedding my identities
Swallow it whole
I shit it out
When they try to label me
I can sing all those love songs now
You're just jealous
You're just jealous
I shed my skin
Year after year
Joker in the wild deck
Save us from disaster
When trouble comes
Trouble always comes
I can read your fear
You won’t survive it
You're just jealous
You're just jealous
I've been hurt
Made to bleed
I lost everything
Except the reality of pain
You're just jealous
You're just jealous

Runaway Girl
03:21

Soft as an angel
Hope for the sunshine
Nobody loves you
Heart is filled with pain
The future seems brighter
The flowers are blooming
Hope with a gentle whisper
Waiting for that train
I'm tired
You run
I'm so alone
You hide
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway
Heart is filled with
pain
Imagine there's no hatred
Violence murder or war
The killing shocked the country
The years slip away
Chiming softly in the morning
Sun sets far away
Shame was brought to the surface
You've got to live
I'm tired
You run
I'm so alone
You hide (x2)
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway Girl
Nobody loves you
Runaway
Heart is filled with
pain
pain
pain
pain…

The Unshaken
03:27

Who am I now?
Who are you now?
Who are we now?
It's a mystery to me
You want more than you have
You want more than you need
Who are we ever
When your thoughts begin to bleed?
You're the one with the heart of a horse
You're the one with the light in her eyes
You're the one who sees all ways
You're the one who will shake
The Unshaken
A dumb pawn in white
A dumb pawn in black
The faded hearts of America
Who comes and goes?
Who speaks out?
Who don’t wanna look what's going down?
You're the one with the blazing guns
You're the one with no one to lead them
You're the one that runs through the glass
Who knows the name of the game
You're the one with the heart of a horse
You're the one with the light in her eyes
You're the one who sees all ways
You're the one who will shake
The Unshaken
You're the one with the blazing guns
You're the one with no one to lead them
You're the one that runs through the glass
Who knows the name of the game
You're the one with the heart of a horse
You're the one with the light in her eyes
You're the one who sees all ways
You're the one who will shake
The Unshaken
The Unshaken
The Unshaken
The Un!
The Unshaken
The Unshaken
The Un!
The Unshaken

Alone

I am love
I am hate
I am gay
I am straight
She got scared
She got dressed
You get so alone
I am brave
I'm a scaredy-cat
I am this
And I am that
I am skinny
And I am fat
You get so alone
You're so alone
You're not alone
Take me home
Don’t take me home
The agony and
The ecstasy
You get so alone

Over the Moon
04:35
|
|||
|
I'm holding on
But I'm not that strong
I'm reaching out
I'm screaming loud
Can you hear me now?
I can't find the words
I'm a mental wreck
That it just makes sense
And the days run away over the hills
Like wild horses
And the days run away over the moon
You sweat it out
Fall over the edge
You're puking your guts out
But it never ceases
The wind still blows
You fire your bones
I look into myself
Sitting alone
And the days run away over the hills
Like wild horses
And the days run away over the moon
Jesus Christ
Hurt like a knife
Brains to the wall
And that's what killed him
Facing the sea
Christ prays for me
The devil's inside of you
and said, "And the devil's inside of her, too"
And the days run away over the hills
Like wild horses
And the days run away over the moon
Run free
Like wild horses
And the days run away over the hills
Like wild horses
And the days run away over the moon

My Dear Cats
02:50
|
|||
|
My water-colored hands are catless now
Seated here alone in the dark
My window-shaped head is bowed with sad draperies
I am catless near death almost
I miss my dear cats
Behind me my last cat hanging on the wall
Dead of my hand drink bloated
And on all my other walls from attic to cellar
My sad life of cats hangs
I miss my dear cats

Bastard Angel

[I’ll dry your tears]
You lie about your love
[I’ll dry your tears]
Hero and fool
[I’ll dry your tears]
Mad and sane
[I’ll dry your tears]
Lost and found
Love is nothing without loss
I feel so alone
I have no privacy
Without faith, I am nothing
Willing to do what's hard
If you don’t risk anything
You risk even more
I never said most things
Can I talk to you?
So much I wanted to say
So many are lonely
So many are lonely alone
So many are lonely alone
So many are lonely alone
So many are lonely alone

Weep
04:21

Look around the streets
Angels & prophets weep
Look around the world
Teeth are on edge
Help the world
For the sake
Of all our children
Made to bleed
I've been dead for years
[But] Life is so beautiful
There's nothing you can do for me
Help the world
For the sake
Of all our children
Help the world
For the sake
Of all our children
The nigger we are
Get through it clean
Turn the tide
For the sake
Of all our children
Help the world
For the sake
Of all our children

Lucy’s in the sky with diamonds
[Bob] Dylan’s got the David Bowie blues
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Give the devil back his shoes
The times they are a-changin'
God didn’t save the queen
It's only Rock n Roll, my dear
Under the Tahitian moon
Sing this song together
On with the show
I'm pledging my time
Time to go
Just like a woman
I shall be free
Everybody’s got something to hide
God only knows that's not me
Put another brick inside the wall
It’s been one of those days
Sing this song together
On with the show
I'm pledging my time
Time to go
[Watch the show]
Just like a woman
I shall be free
Lucy’s in the sky with diamonds
Bob Dylan’s got the David Bowie blues
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Give the devil back his shoes

It takes courage to love me
It takes courage to care
It takes courage to confront
Your weaknesses you share
The victim of the flames
I'm speakin' as a potential victim
The burning of the witch
The nigger, the jew,
and the faggot too
The blood-stained self
The violence on our TV
Is far more dangerous than
pornography
How much longer could she take
The beatings and the rape
As much truth as one can bear
The evils in the world
Then a little more
Which has panic at the root
We all live in a world
Where dreams betray and are betrayed
Where love dies, and innocence must die
The awful question of wether or not
all our dreams have failed
How we managed to become
what we have
This inexpressible pain
So desperate so empty
What are we to do about it?
This present chaos
The terror and the bombings
Holding our breath underwater
And this song's an act of love

The Secret That She Knew
03:53
|
|||
|
Up in the mountains, awfully shy and meek
She dresses in the dark, laid up for about a week
A chorus girl with outskirts, gonna run her crazy
Way down in No Man’s Land, she shines not the less
She didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
She didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
Up in the eastern sky
in upward flight
The rain came pouring down
on her last fleeting breath
And shivered where the cold wind blew,
she watched the rain all day
Found the sweet sunshine at last,
but she left in the rain anyway
She didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
The secret that she knew
She didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
And she didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
And she didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
And she didn’t know how to tell the secret that she knew
The secret that she knew

Young girl
It's morning
in the March wind
Young girl
Move slowly
Day by day
on these streets
Young girl
In the sun light
in e v e r y breeze
Young girl
Cried out at midnight
Into the silence
out of the thick pine
[solo]
Young girl
I can feel you breathin'
inside these sheets
Young girl
You're so beautiful
In your empty blouse
with your perfect breasts
Young girl
Cried out at midnight
Into the silence
out of the thick pines
Young girl
I see myself
I have survived
Young girl
I'm writing this poem
especially for you
When i dream of you
Young girl

Cracks in the Mirror
03:13

Christmas Eve on the countryside
The whole family would get together
Pigs were roasting, bottles of wine
The party’s merrymaking
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Tirelessly writing love letters
Into the woods, tired and broken
We are all so fragile
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Fall like soft raindrops
I waited for years, in vain to know
Like the folks on Hitler’s burial
Christmas Eve on the countryside
You could always make love again
The cracks in the mirror, I've loved those rooms
It was the best time of my life
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Do do do do, do do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do do
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la
Christmas Eve on the countryside
Christmas Eve on the countryside

Breakfast with the King b/w Deathwish
by Goatsnake
supported by 4 fans who also own “As Much Truth as One Can Bear”
Both tracks here are better than everything on the Black Age Blues album, in my humble opinion. Deathwish is a change of style for Goatsnake, being in a much faster tempo, almost punky, still heavy as f*ck though, and incredibly catchy... love it!

A rubbery bassline and a bounding rhythm track propels this earworm dance track from B.C. act Delujn.
