Punch Drunk
I’m not bitter
I’m just tired
You’re not broken
That’s just how you’re wired
And all the warmth
Has left your smile
I haven’t felt it there
In quite a while
Punch Drunk
Make a fist of your heart
The truth won’t set you free
But it’s a good place to start
You’re so vain
You need this to be about you
And it’s plain
The world can’t turn without you
The sun still rises
And shines its light on me
Why did it take me,
So damn long to see?
Punch Drunk
Make a fist of your heart
The truth won’t set you free
But it’s a good place to start
After all this time
The whole thing is a laugh
I meant it as a joke
Not as my epitaph
The sun still rises
And I’m still whole
You’re the one with a great big hole
Right through their fucking soul
Punch Drunk
Make a fist of your heart
The truth won’t set you free
But it’s a good place to start
Go on and hit me!

Turning
The bottom falls out
The plot sickens
Death be not proud
This is easy pick’ns
Can’t save everyone
Shouldn’t even try
Some folks are born to lose
But everyone’s born to die
You’re broken, you’re burning
You’re spinning, you're turning
On a wheel, on a wheel, on a Catherine Wheel
Find yourself some shelter
A warm place to sleep
If you have to sell your soul
Don’t let it go cheap
Can’t save everyone
Shouldn’t even try
Some folks are born to lose
But everyone’s born to die
You’re broken, you’re burning
You’re spinning, you're turning
On a wheel, on a wheel, on a Catherine Wheel
There’s blood in the water
There’s blood on the sheets
The world don’t owe you a living
But you still gotta eat
Can’t save everyone
Break your heart if you try
Some folks are born to lose
Fuckin’ everyone’s born to die
You’re broken, you’re burning
You’re spinning, you're turning
On a wheel, on a wheel, on a Catherine Wheel

I Got Up Today
I got up today, bitten by the cold
Feeling like a slave waiting to be sold
Searching for my keys, searching for the door
Searching for that certainty that I felt before
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
But I feel less than real
I got up today saner and sober
You lay there in silence, we did not talk it over
I walked out the door, compelled by some inertia
But I'm still tethered here by habit and nostalgia
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
But I feel less than real
I got up today, as I'll get up tomorrow
I've carved my niche, its left me hollow
Conscience makes cowards of us all
I drop the reins, I watch them fall
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
I don't remember when I surrendered
But I feel less than real

This Hole
I would give you half my world, but you have seen how I live
Half of nothing’s all I offer, and that’s no great effort to give
Love is blindness, love is madness, love is sickness
It’s hunger pain and sadness
But love can’t fill this hole, I’m hollow within
Love can’t fill this hole, because I never stop diggin’
Love can make you a killer, love can make you a slave
Love can die in the womb, or love can conquer the grave
Love is blindness, love is madness, love is sickness
It’s hunger pain and sadness
But love can’t fill this hole, I’m hollow within
Love can’t fill this hole, because I never stop diggin’ diggin’ diggin’
I’m feeling pretty lucid now, I feel strangely calm
It’s like god reached out his big ol’ hand and then he crushed me in his palm
God is blindness, god is madness, god is sickness
He’s hunger pain and sadness
But god can’t fill this hole, I’m hollow within
God can’t fill this hole, because I never stop diggin’
Love can’t fill this hole, I’m hollow within
Love can’t fill this hole, because I never stop diggin’ diggin’ diggin’

Nine Days
I'm the artist, here's my vision
See the mystery I have made
Ancient secret, modern method
The northern wind knows the price I paid
Do you know them, can you name them
Can you cut them, can you stain them
Did you learn them, do you serve them
Did you earn them, do you deserve them
Nine days I hung from the sky
I offer to I, nine days and an eye
I'm the knife and I'm the victim
I'm the altar and I'm the tree
I'm the question that I keep asking
No one has earned this if not for me
Will you suffer the price of learning
What part of everything will you pay
Without fear there's no courage
There's more than darkness at the end of day
Nine days I hung from the sky
I offer to I, nine days and an eye
Nine days I hung from the sky
I offer to I, nine days and an eye
Can you carve them or do they cut you, do they cut you
There's more than darkness, more than darkness
More than darkness at the end of day
More than darkness at the end of day
