Chorus:
Time is never a friend my friend
Here she comes...
Here she comes...
At Sundown
Night is Happening
Feel the moment coming in
When all the nightmares come together
When the Sun goes Down
People slip and slid through
The Darkness that surrounds me
Watch as it glides through
and move up to the surface of your Mind.
Chrous:
Moving along merely passing through
Alone in a crowd
Sublime courtesy
I'm gonna take it slow
do it and do it again
Because...
Well now the curtains are drawn
But...
In your struggle to be Real
The heart shuts down when
Chorus:
I stand here alone now -In painful , naked glory
Chorus:
When the last absolutes are torn to pieces...
We all fall down sometimes...
Oh Maybe we could try to find
Oh Maybe we could try to find
The devil in me brings up Her bittersweet revenge
I'm running out of doors to open
Carry on
I feel the storm
I stole from my mother
You drown yourself in guilt child
You drown yourself in guilt child
Faithless
Faithless
Live through the images in my mind
As I lie here and suffer
Turn away then make me stay
Fade into the night
That old familiar sting
Make believe it's your first time
This would be the day
But I...
Well I'm doin' it doin' it right
I gotta million reasons to have you killed
Schizophrenic
And even if you've got money
No matter how many times
Time has passed me by
Moving in little circles
You made a promise to break free
Whatever is the force that pulls you back
And if your lips could speak my name
Stretch myself across the sand
And if my eyes could speak the pain
Stretch myself across the sand
Like water through my hands
You sharpen my anger
There’s a kind of burning
Safe from the world
So this is where the twilight ends
Safe from the world
She dances as the heads roll by…
So You say, Life Has been unkind
Time is never a friend my friend
Here she comes...
Here she comes...
At Sundown
FLESH AND BONE
Words and Music: Briggs
Alone in a crowd
Without happiness it seems
Without the Madness
Without the Curiosity
Moving along and not meaning to
Living this way
Rather than that
Living this way
Rather than that
I speak without waiting for an answer
Always alone
Always alone
I am Flesh and Bone
Blind as a new born child
Will you bury me
It is as it should be
Moving along merely passing through
Moving along and not meaning to
Living this way
Rather than that
Living this way
Rather than that
UNFUCK
Words and Music: Briggs
I'm gonna take it slow
do it and do it again
I'm gonna take it slow
do it and do it again...
I'm talking 'bout getting over
Memories written down in stone
Pain without space and time Between...
Time Time Time 3x
Is on my side
And I disregard my senses
Everything runs into everything else
Comfort in the thought that nothing is
Exactly how I'd want it to be
Time Time Time 3x
Is on my side
In your struggle to be Centered
In your struggle to be You
Have you left a place for me?
BURNED
Words: Briggs Music: Brew and Briggs
We all fall down sometimes...
It has too much to bear.
My soul is somewhere
Finding open doors
Deep beneath the ground - I stumble
(We all fall down sometimes...)
Shall I carry the cross
Everytime you change your mind?
What breaks me
Until this moment
Is the tragedy of a life
Where each day's exactly like the others
Shall I carry the cross
Everytime you change your mind?
Shall I carry the cross
Everytime you change your mind?
FAILING DAYS
Words: Jon Juliano Music: Briggs
Would you say you're sorry
Or would you waste my time
Talkin bout the silly games we play
Suppose I said I couldn't work things out
Would you still stay
Some resolution to our Failing Days
And if we could go back to
Where it all began
Would we find our way
Will things ever get better
Or would it stay the same
Reflections of the past we used to share
Suppose I said I couldn't work things out
Would you still stay
Some resolution to our Failing Days
And if we could go back to where it all began
Would we lose our way
PARANOIA 21
Words: Briggs Music: Brew and Briggs
My loss begins to get the best of me
The deeper I see the longer I seek
Tomorrow's promise is yesterday's sorrow
I will not even begin to understand
The darkness I have borrowed
Only only only only
To bring me down again
To bring me down again
To bring me down again
Children's laughter envelops me
Ain't it funny how memories of what could never be
Fills me up and grips the worst of
Fills me up and grips the worst of
Fills me up and grips the worst of me
I'm running out of ways to change
Drift along with parting words
And everything I'd ever want
And everything I'd ever do
Would come from the madness of my youth
CARRY ON
Words and Music: Briggs
Well I'm reading between the lines
And I'm passing through a needle's eye
Would you carry me through the fire?
And if I should put my faith
On a love that won't prevail
And we break and falter...
Carry on
Would you carry on?
FAITHLESS
Words: Kristine Calleja/Briggs Music: Briggs
Beneath the clothes
Beneath the clothes
It must be my conscience
Or the thought of you
Touching me as you do mother
And I will
And I will with your Ignorance
And I will
And I will with your Innocence
You drown drown drown drown yourself
Live through the violence
That is my Life
That is my Life
Lose myself at the thought of You
Touching me as you do mother
OLD FAMILIAR STING
Words and Music: Briggs
Hold that moment
A little little longer
Piece by piece
you're a tease
Pretend I am another
Fake that distant cry
Cuts right through
Through my skin
That old familiar sting
Kill them shadows baby
Set them spaces free
Dissolved in solid tones
You spread me
Spread me in a haze
LOADED
Words: Briggs Music: Ryan Villamayor and Briggs
I spread my wings and fly away
It's a new day
it's a new dawn
It's a new life for me
Faith in my strength that it would
Carry me through
My struggle to be free
I got no courage
To let you Down
But I don't know what it is that I want
I got no courage to shut you out
But I don't know what it is that I need
So slowly drag me down
Let my feet caress the ground
On borrowed time
Watch myself, feel myself Unfold
Curve after curve after curve
Find my way through
My meaning misconstrued
PSYCHOBITCH
Words and Music:Briggs
Would you deny me the thrill
To go for the kill
Agonizing over
Agonized over
Black and white
Days and nights
Ooh you though I'd give up the fight
Give up the fight
Psychoholic
You go on singin your tune
Singin your tune
To buy your friends
And the world thinks I am the losing end
Well I beleive in karma man
Oh you've got it comin' man
'coz you get what you make
Oh you get what you make
Schizophrenic
Psychoholic
You go on singin your
Vagrant lies
Your silly silly smiles
The world awaits your passing
Pull the trigger if you can
Pull the trigger if you can
Trade in your hour for a life filled with lies
Psychobitch on the loose
I think I'm gonna start singing
The blues...
I gotta million reasons to...
Blow you away, Cut you into Pieces
I gotta millions reasons to go for the kill
3 DAY SICKNESS
Words:Briggs Music: Brew and Briggs
You try and make things right
You're living a fantasy
Yeah brother just let things be
And you say everything is more than it seems
And I say, you are not
What you're cut up to be
People change, is that what it means when you say
We're hitting another dead end?
Days turn into nights
This is how it is
The third day of my being sick
Time and again
We make ammends
Wishing you were here
Come and take me away
TO THE MOON AND BACK
Words and Music:Briggs
Right when the smoke clears
And his temper level's set to three
You swore you'd give him
A piece of your mind
Right when the coast is clear
And he's not robbing you blind
Your perfect lover's alibi
Works like a charm
Works like a charm
Your perfect lover's alibi
To buy himself some time
I've been to the moon and back
Oh you keep coming back
Carry that weight you keep me guessing like a...
Oh you never know what's coming
So you write him a letter saying 'we're through
it was nice knowing you'
You swore you'll never go back
closed your eyes and meant it
Halfway through
He calls to say he loves you
A lil while later, you're back in his arms
Where he wants you
I never could understand
Why the very thing you love the most
Hits you back Hits you back
With the most singular ultimate pain
it's love's cruel way of screwing you back.
LIKE WATER THROUGH MY HANDS
Words and Music:Briggs
And if your love could loosen the chain
Shall I find you
With open arms to greet me
Yield to me
Lay your arms across my chest
Sing the songs of life
I feel my time is short my love
the demons are on to me now
Be swift my love
Be swift my love
And if my love should end in vain
I'll sing the songs of life
I feel my time is short my love
the demons are on to me now
Be swift my love
Be swift my love
I'm raining down in pieces
Nothing broken, Nothing thrown
Nothing broken, Nothing thrown
KHATTAM-SHUD (It is finished)
Words and Music:Briggs
To its murderous edge
I’m driven to desperation
Man you got me on my knees
Baby deep inside
There’s a thousand colored stories
Surrounding your lies
Bring me back home
Safe from the world
Faith take me home
Find solace in the silence
Turn my head away from the screaming
Man she sparkles when I’m high
There's a kind of burning
Don't you feel it deep inside?
I bear the sadness of the truth
That it was all just a lie
Bring me back home
Safe from the world
Faith take me home
Sing praises at the scene of the crime…
She dances as the heads roll by…
Sing praises at the scene of the crime…
SILVER SUICIDE
Words and Music:Briggs
So you say, you're sick of them lies
Behind them, pretty pretty smiles
Everybody's got their stories to tell
And you say, it's a stupid game
Bring down the lights
Uncover why
Lemons never forget
Let confusion rise
Pour down like silver
Everything else may fade away
Let confusion rise
Pour down like silver
Recover and cherish
What has been lost
It shall be found again
In another lifetime
So who says you're getting mad again?
Move in mundane circles
Bring down the lights
