A special thanks goes out to BigWreckGirl, TheOaf, Fallout, Wyred and especially KeepMeFromLosing for all their work at deciphering the lyrics before the official ones were posted. Inhale Undersold Knee Deep Everything Is Fine All By Design Mistake Ladylike The Pleasure And The Greed No Fault Breakthrough Ease My Mind Broken Hands Head in The Girl All Our Days Are Numbered West Virginia Defined By What We Steal Inhale Cities crumble into forests The black tops crack and float away Change your mind and Inhale And every now and then it's broken We'll fix it all up in the end Change your mind and inhale We all want to get away, And walk that country mile. If we're all gonna fade away, Let's go out in style. Change your mind and Inhale X 2 Of all the manufactured meat consumed Under most human needs We're overdue And all the pretty folks are plastic And all the lines are drawn so drastic like airplane glue We all want to get away, And walk that country mile. If were all gonna fade away, Let's go out in style. You see You're mine You'll see You're mine Can't you see You're blind Can you see You're blind We all want to get away, Leave it all for a while. If we're all gonna fade away, Lets go out in style We all want to get away, Walk that country mile. And if were all gonna fade away, Let's go out in style. Change your mind and inhale X 2 Back To Top Undersold All the lies and all the kisses And all the naive things he disses Are gone now watch them fade out. It's not too hard to hang with losers As opposed to fakers And used-to-model debutantes and boozers. Oh are you ever going to bleed? Oh will you surrender to the needing Of someone, somehow? Lay your lovers and mothers and fathers in the road Roll right over their bodies If they left you undersold Undersold Walk right through the front door and slam it, Head straight for the liquor cabinet And bitch about Your colleagues. Lonliness and emptiness and happiness we're powerless until we notice We're useless. Oh would you ever want to sin Oh take me back to where we both begin Simply somehow Lay your lovers and mothers and fathers in the road Roll right over their bodies If they left you undersold Lay your bullies and bosses and best friends in the road Roll right over their bodies If they left you undersold Lay your lovers and mothers and fathers in the road Roll right over their bodies If they left you undersold undersold X 7 Back To Top Knee Deep Make love by the window With the toffs Before you can jump I'll push you off And I'm knee deep with no sleep at all When your on my shoulder Keep deep and i can't sleep it off Clench my fists Bite my lip 'Till it goes away And all this blood And all these days Dry up and blow away Look over yonder in my past Everything good will always pass And I'm knee deep with no sense at all When your on my shoulder Knee deep and I can't kiss it off Clench my fists Bite my lip 'Till it goes away Madness comes And always does And always finds a way Sadness comes And always finds a way Understand Reprimand When your on my shoulder But you'll always fly Always fly away Yeah, away Clench my fists Bite my lip 'Till it kills the pain And all this blood And all these days Dry up and blow away All my past All my hate Always finds away Always finds Always finds away Back To Top Everything Is Fine So you hate me if I'm open But you love me when I'm closed I used to be outspoken Only on the phone Used to keep my letters Underneath your bed Underneath your dress was Someone else's head If once was enough for you That's alright If you can keep it closed Then everything is fine Everything is fine So you used to wanna hold me Up above the din And I would say Baby, watch the hell begin And now you wanna keep me Down with all the pigs And I say Baby, You're the only one I dig If once was enough for you That's alright If you can keep them closed Then everything is fine Everything is fine You used to keep my letters Underneath your bed Underneath your dress was Someone else's head Everything is fine Back To Top All By Design So were on our way home On the right bus I just want to ask the driver If it's not too much fuss To drop me at the old lady's And pick me up tomorrow If you could, If you could It's all by design To keep me from losing my mind I was on my way there And it was just around the corner I caught a funny stare And I started a fight with the owner Well it's the whole nine yards And I fold all my cards in your face 'Cause I love what is real And I loved you my dear Befor you were replaced Oh you were replaced And it's all by deisgn To keep me from losing my mind So I saw you over there Acted like I don't care 'Cause I've never seen something That made me stare So we run through your back yards And throw all my best cards in your face In your face Because I love what is real And I loved you my dear Before I was replaced I was replaced It's all by design To keep me from losing my mind It's all by design To keep us from losing our minds We were on our way home On the right bus I just wanna tell the driver Don't bother 'cause it's a bust Back To Top Mistake As I sift and drift through bullshit That plagues from day to day Would you ever really notice That I've gone away? I'm over the wall Over the hill Over at your place I'm over the safety Over the phone calls Over the rage What a Mistake When you've lost the stones to throw The one I found to make a fire And all the lonley souls that say so, get fired I'm over the wall Over the hill Over at your place (Can't seem to get out of the way) I'm over the safety Over the phone calls Over the rage What a Mistake What a Mistake What a Mistake What a Mistake What a Mistake I've never been lost I've never been found And it makes no difference If I'm around. (Can't seem to get out of the way) It's never been words It's never been actions It's never been promises that I've never kept. (Can't seem to get out of the way) I'm over the wall Over the hill Over at your place (Can't seem to get out of this) Pulling on the threads I'm always pulling on the threads I'm always pulling on the threads I'm always pulling Oh what a mistake Mistake As I sift and drift in bullshit That plagues from day to day Would you ever really notice That I've gone away?

'Cause I'm going forwards and Looking backwards Virginia 'Cause I'm going forward And looking back West Virginia You live, you love, you learn You lose, you gain And you know you'll never win You can't even quit the game You know you'll never win You can't even quit the game You know you'll never win But you can't even quit the game I know what you're saying When you're not really talking right And who are you fooling? Who 'Cause I'm going forwards And looking backwards Virginia 'Cause I'm going forwards And looking back West Virginia Back To Top Defined By What We Steal When the lights are low We notice down below How it glows brightly And all we've washed away Now comes out to play With me But this is a farce If it's not in my own words And I fight for a moment of rest Just for that second we're sure we're alive We notice our lives are defind By what we steal By what we steal By what we steal By what we steal Trying to reach for you Is such a breach of me And my shell Oh well The answers are such a task The questions are loaded when you ask "What about me?" Am I using my own words now? Or is someone beyond Just waving their wand And just for that moment we're shure we're alive We notice our lives are defined By what we steal By what we steal By what we steal By what we steal So what if I float So what if I drift Refuse to believe That this is all a gift For me For me For me Back To Top
