bookmark_borderFill ’em Up

LYRICS
That soul is empty
Lack in empathy
Just a deep hole
Lacking sympathy
They say misery
Likes company
Let’s fill ’em up
Their half-empty cup

That heart is empty
Lack of empathy
Just a black hole/whole
Lacking sympathy
They say misery
Likes company
Let’s fill ’em up
Their half-empty cup

LYRICS
Can you believe
He just wont’ quit
Can you believe
Complete bull$hit
I guess That’s just part
Of the part and parcel
The kit and kaboodle
Throwin’ fit

The Yank-ee doodle
Ain’t so dandy
Caging kids
And offering candy
The insanity
By-gone rarity
Into the padded cell?
Oh, well
All’s well

There’s one thing I’d hate
If you’d to call me late
The late Mr. Smith

LYRICS
Stepping outside to take a look
At the cover on this book
Try to understand
What’s in this man
What was, is, and going to be…
Me (me, me, me)
It’s time to judge this book
By its cover
(Take a look)
Uncover
Discover
I know underneath
Bones and teeth
Under skin and bone
Undercover is alone
Blood n’ guts…
… n’ nuts
(Going nuts)
Stepping outside to take a look
At the cover on this book

LYRICS
Forgot to get off in time
I’m thinking…
I’m along for the ride
Best to hop off
If there’s a next stop

Roll up
Sit back
It’s a hell of a show
Rock on
Blow up
A political hoe
Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Digging in the dirt
Digging up the dirt
Pigging out the hurt

Going out on…
Going out on…
Going out on a limb

Baked in the cake
Baby comes tumblin’, tumblin’ down

LYRICS
Needed time for my head
After what you said
Needed time for my head
Having been put to bed

My hearts done… bled
Bled out the red
Needed time for my head

LYRICS
There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
A smother of brother on brother
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The twisted
Sister on sister
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
Child gone wild
Rant upon parent

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The hostility in humanity
… beyond me

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

LYRICS
Know that
Your brother’s insane
No, you’re not your brother’s keeper
Make your great escape
Before it gets deeper
Doesn’t run in the family
Runs out
Without a doubt
You needn’t remain
Run, run into the son
That he use to be
’cause he doesn’t know me
