SUPERUNKNOWN

Let Me Drown

Stretch the bones over my skin

Stretch the skin over my head

I'm going to the holy land

Stretch the marks over my eyes

Burn the candles deep inside

Yeah you know where I'm coming from

Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me

Give up to fate, you don't have to need me

So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it

Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you

Slip down darkness to the mouth

Damn the water burn the wine

I'm going home for the very last time

So throw it away, you don't have to take me

Make no mistakes I'm what you make me

So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it

Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you

I see you turn around and burning down

The feeling starts to sink

I feel the hurt surround me

Please dissolve me

She's resolved to be

Heal my wounds without a trace

Seal my tomb without my face

I'm going to the lonely place

Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me

Give up to fate, you don't have to need me

So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it

Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you

My Wave

Take, if you want a slice

If you want a piece

If it feels alright

Break, if you like the sound

If it gets you up

If it brings you down

Share, if it makes you sleep

If it sets you free

If it helps you breathe

Don't come over here

And piss on my gate

Save it just keep it

Off my wave

Cry, if you want to cry

If it helps you see

If it clears your eyes

Hate, if you want to hate

If it keeps you safe

If it makes you brave

Pray, if you want to pray

If you like to kneel

If you like to lay

Don't come over here

And piss on my gate 

Save it just keep it

Off my wave

Keep it off my wave

Keep it off my wave

Keep it off my wave

My wave

Cry, if you want to cry

If it helps you see

If it clears your eyes

Hate, if you want to hate

If it keeps you safe

If it makes you brave

Take, if you want a slice

If you want a piece

If it feels alright

Don't come over here

And piss on my gate

Save it just keep it 

Off my wave

Keep it off my wave

Keep it off my wave

My wave 

Fell On Black Days

Whatsoever I’ve feared has come to life

Whatsoever I’ve fought off became my life

Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile

Sunspots have faded and now I’m doing time

Now I’m doing time

Cause I fell on black days

I fell on black days

Whomsoever I’ve cured I’ve sickened now

Whomsoever I’ve cradled I’ve put you down

I’m a search light soul they say

But I can’t see it in the night

I’m only faking when I get it right

When I get it right

Cause I fell on black days

I fell on black days

How would I know that this could be my fate

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind

And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine

So don’t you lock up something that you wanted to see fly

Hands are for shaking

I sure don’t mind a change

Cause I fell on black days

I fell on black days

How would I know that this could be my fate

Mailman

Hello don’t you know me

I’m the dirt beneath your feet

The most important fool you forgot to see

I’ve seen how you give it

Now I want you to receive

I’m sure that you would do the same for me

I know I’m headed for the bottom

But I’m riding you all the way

For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face

For all that reminds me wich is my place

For all of the times when you made me disappear

This time I’m sure you will know that I’m here

I know I’m headed for the bottom

But I’m riding you all the way

My place was beneath you but now I’m above

And now I send you a message of love

A simple reminder of what you won’t see

A future so holy without me

I know I’m headed for the bottom

But I’m riding you all the way

Superunknown

If this isn’t what you see

It doesn’t make you blind

If this doesn’t make you feel

It doesn’t mean you’ve died

Where the river’s high

Where the river’s high

If you don’t want to be seen

Well you don’t have to hide

And if you don’t want to believe

You don’t have to try to feel alive

Alive in the superunknown

First it steals your mind

And then it steals your…

If this doesn’t make you free

It doesn’t mean you’re tied

If this doesn’t take you down

It doesn’t mean you’re high

If this doesn’t make you smile

Yeah you don’t have to cry

If this isn’t making sense

It doesn’t make it lies

Alive in the superunknown

First it steals your mind

And then it steals your… soul

Get yourself afraid

Get yourself alone

Get yourself contained

Get yourself control

Alive in the superunknown

First it steals your mind

And then it steals your… soul

Head Down

We steal that smile from your face

We hear you cry

We hear you wail

We steal that smile from your face

We see you laugh

We see you dance

We take that away everyday

We see you cry

We turn your head

Then we slap your face

Bow down with your life

Head down, hide that smile

Head high got to smile

Head high got to smile

We see you try

We see you fail

Some things never change

We hear you cry

We hear you wail

We steal that smile from your face

Bow down with your life

Head down, hide that smile

Head high got to smile

Head high like a song you like

Black Hole Sun

In my eyes, indisposed

In disguise as no one knows

Hides the face, lies the snake

When the sun in my disgrace

Boiling heat, summer stench

‘Neath the black the sky looks dead

Call my name through the cream

And I’ll hear you scream again

Black hole sun

Won’t you come

And wash away the rain

Black hole sun

Won’t you come

Won’t you come

Stuttering, cold and damp

Steal the warm wind tired friend

Times are gone for honest men

And sometimes far too long for snakes

In my shoes, a walking sleep

And my youth I pray to keep

Heaven send Hell away

No one sings like you anymore

Black hole sun

Won’t you come

And wash away the rain

Black hole sun

Won’t you come

Won’t you come

Hang my head, drown my fear

Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun

Won’t you come

And wash away the rain

Black hole sun

Won’t you come

Won’t you come

Spoonman

Feel the rhythm with your hands

Steal the rhythm while you can, spoon man

Speak the rhythm on your own

Speak the rhythm all alone, spoon man

Spoon man, come together with your hands

Save me, I'm together with your plan

Save me

All my friends are indians

All my friends are brown and red, spoon man

All my friends are skeletons

They beat the rhythm with their bones, spoon man

Feel the rhythm with your hands

Steal the rhythm while you can, spoon man

Thank you, good night people

Limo Wreck

Tears of the feeble hands of the slaves

Skin of the mothers mouths of the babes

Building the towers belongs to the sky

When the whole thing comes crashing down don’t ask me why

Under the shelf the shelf of the sky

Two eyes, two suns too heavenly blinds

Swallowing rivers belongs to the sea

When the whole thing washes away don’t run to me

I’ll be going down for the rest of the slide

While the rest of you harvest the gold

And the wreck of you is the death of you all

And the wreck of you is the break and the fall

I’m the wreck of you I’m the death of you all

I’m the wreck of you I’m the break and the fall

Under the red break of the lights

Heroes in stretches inch to the site

Blowing the pieces belongs to the wind

When the whole thing blows away I won’t pretend

I’ll be going down for the rest of the slide

While the rest of you harvest the gold

And the wreck of you is the death of you all

And the wreck of you is the break and the fall

I’m the wreck of you I’m the death of you all

I’m the wreck of you I’m the break and the fall

Under the red break of the lights

Lies the wreck of you for the rest of your life

And the wreck of you is the death of you all

And the wreck of you is the break and the fall

I’m the wreck of you I’m the death of you all

I’m the wreck of you I’m the break and the fall

While the rest of you harvest the gold

While the rest of you harvest the souls

The Day I Tried To Live

I woke the same as any other day

Except a voice was in my head

It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade

And watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live

I stole a thousand beggars change

And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win

I dangled from the power lines

And let the martyr's stretch

Singing

One more time around

Might do it

One more time around

Might make it

One more time around

Might do it

One more time around

The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem 

To live up to the ones 

Inside your head

The lives we make 

Never seem to ever get us anywhere

But dead

The day I tried to live

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know

I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win

I wallowed in the blood and mud with

All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar

Just like you

Kickstand

Kickstand, you got loose and I threw up

Kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup

My mother says that it's alright

My mother says that's the only life

So do it right

Do it right

Come stand me up

Come stand me up

Kickstand, I got saddle made of leather

Kickstand, I got the words to come together

I got the urge to ride your trike

My mother says that's the only life

Fresh Tendrils

Long time coming

It seemed to take me through

Longtime coming

Many served the few

And long to taste the shame

That bows down before you

Long time coming

It seemed to get me by

Long time coming

It seemed to satisfy

You longed to taste the shame

That everybody tries

Shame shame

Throw yourself away

Give me little bits of

More than I can take

If it sits upon your tongue

Or naked in your eyes

Give me little bits of

More than I can try

Long time coming

It seemed to take me through

Long time comning

Many served the few

And long to taste the shame

That bows down before you

Shame shame

Throw yourself away

Give me little bits of

More than I can take

If it sits upon your tongue

Or naked in your eyes

Give me little bits of

More than I can try

4th of July

Shower in the dark day clean sparks diving down

Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown

Naked in the cold sun breathing life like fire

Thought I was the only one but that was just a lie

Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

And I thought it was the 4th of July

Pale in the flare light the scared lights cracks & disappears

And leads the scorched ones here

And everywhere no one cares the fire is spreading

And no one wants to speak about it

Down in the hole Jesus tries to crack a smile

Beneath another showel load

And I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

And I thought it was the 4th of July

Now I’m in control now I’m in the fall out

Once asleep but now I stand

And I still remember your sweet everything

Light a roman candle and hold it in your hand

Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

And I thought it was the 4th of July

Half

When I hand my love in

I'll be done

A handed glove

Hides the door

Half a chance

Half a chance

We still

Have a chance

Mr. Full, mr. Have

Kills mr. Empty hands

Half a chance

Half a chance

We still

Have a chance

Like Suicide

Heard it from another room

Eyes were waking up just to fall asleep

Love's like suicide

Dazed out in a garden bed

With a broken neck lays my broken gift

Just like suicide

And my last ditch

Was my last brick

Lent to finish her

Finish her

Bit down on the bullet now

I had a taste so sour

I had to think of something sweet

Love's like suicide

Safe outside my gilded cage

With an ounce of pain

I wield a ton of rage

Just like suicide

With eyes of blood 

And bitter blue

How I feel for you

I feel for you

She lived like a murder

How she'd fly so sweetly

She lived like a murder

But she died

Just like suicide
