[Body text:]
He holds the power... to relieve pain
He holds the power... to heal the lame
He holds the reigns
God stands above you... to heal the lame
He doesn't love you... says Let it rain

for forty days and forty nights
God got real pissed yet I'm not sure why?
Hellfire and brimstoned every thing in sight
Blacked out the noon [?]: sun
so now we have no light
Left everyone here swimming for their life
Now [?:] the water getting cold and turning to ice
[crossed out word] left everyone here swimming around
Smoke in their eyes From all the shit he hurd down

Thought I'd get to live for another Fifty years
Really thought he loved me but the fucker doesn't care
Thought I heard a cry for help but it's really hard to hear
Just another little kid crying his eyes filled with
smoke and tears

Ah that's better now I can't hear him any more
Little sucker sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor
Now I'm sure alot of you are thinking that that's not
fair
Think of the bright side he'll have a lot of friends
to play with down there

Used to be made in New Hampshire {struck: got too drunk there}
But word has it they all {struck: got too drunk there}
So now it belongs to me

My girl is a handful of fire
Funny how she used to live in Alaska
She known to inhabit any place she desires
Was she kicked out? No one's had the nerve to ask her
So now she belongs to me

My cigarette was born and bred
When it was placed among friends
To its surprised to Salem, mass.
And finally it sees the light of

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

You drown all of your sadness
So much you begin to slur
Everyone who sits at the table
Thinks their hand is worse than yours

Surround yourself with paupers
Hold to your cane just like a king
At midnight dance with widows
Maybe one will wear your ring

Trade away your suit coat
It will no longer keep you warm
Like you, its travelled many miles
Become beaten, ripped, and torn

Throw away your dreams memories
Your [?memories] dreams take up all your time
Besides there's nothing back there
To entice you to look behind

The dealer holds the cards
Let the chips fall where they may
You know you've already lost
Regardless of whether or not you play

But what if we start a new game
Where losers win and winners draw
Kings and Queens would trade their castles
And beds of gold for beds of straw

The words on this page
I tried to save a lost cause.
I guess I got a little carried away
I ended up being lost myself
As I let another one slip away
I help them climb up from the valley
To try to bring them up to my level
Every time I get close my God
They introduce me to the Devil
I guess you should never try to be a
shepherd
When all your sheep jump off the cliff
But you don't know my conscience
And all the pain I'm living with
Some people have things they can't live
with out
Some people have things they need
They say they can be saved
But I have my doubts
When they stab you in the back with greed
A wasted mind
Just wasted time
Try to broaden their horizons
But sink or swim
The water level's still rising
Item 333

I live in a world where there are no fist fights
People fight each other with their mind
The bruises that are left never heal right
There is no cure for words so unkind

I wish you hit me
I could get over that

I wish you hit me
I could get over that

But what you said to me
You know it knocked me flat

You're supposed to leave
When the love grows old
You could never grieve
You're just too damn cold

You stayed and led me on
Kept saying you're my girl
You let me play along
In your imaginary world

The words on this page
Again I got bagged just a two years
And I poured my beer before my car
Then closed the door
Took my car ride right
Saw blue lights flashing
Then I had to make bail
Handcuffed and placed in a cruiser
Played a drinking game
Where I was the loser
Slept on a cold metal cott
I should have smoked pot
But I drank cheap beer
And This is what I got
Too drunk to walk
Decided to drive
Started heading home
But I never arrived
One more story about
The days of my youth
I've been through the mill
Do you need any more proof?
