Catharsis Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All these days I've been the hard man

All these days it's been so hard, man

To live my life for someone else

In fear of being honest with myself

I perpetrated a lie

Juggling my life with one hand

Tied behind my back, trying to find

And it had always been mine

I perpetrated a lie

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out

I'm breaking through the darkness

And it knocked me over

Into the light of an older soul

And I'll never die

Cause everything I am is in your eyes

[Chorus]

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes

Devils in my eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes

Devils in my eyes

And it knocked me over

Into the light of an older soul

And I'll never die

I'll live forever in your

[Verse 2]

Crucify my inhibitions

The first born son, he died for my sins

Nothing to worry about

And all these years I was the hard man

I always knew I'd find myself and prove

Because you told me the truth

It's all I wanted from you

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out

I'm breaking through the darkness

And it knocked me over

Into the light of an older soul

And I'll never die

Cause everything I am is in your eyes

[Chorus]

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes

Devils in my eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes

Devils in my eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my, Devils in my

Devils in my eyes

And it knocked me over

Into the light of an older soul

And I'll never die

I'll live forever in your

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

My cathartic dream, a primal scream

Shedding my skin

Somewhere between light and dark

I balanced what I am

And I remember everything

We said we'd find a way

Laugh and cry, love and hate

Ain't no weak link this bond won't break

[Bridge]

I put it out there, it comes back

[Guitar Solo: Charlie Benante]

[Chorus]

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes

Devils in my eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes

Devils in my eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my

Devils in my, Devils in my

Devils in my eyes

And it knocked me over

Into the light of an older soul

And I'll never die

I'll live forever in your

[Outro]

I'll never die, I'll never die

Inside Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I thought I knew what provocation was

I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

[Chorus 1]

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah

It's in my stomach like fire

In my stomach like cancer

In my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

[Chorus 2]

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out

[Verse 2]

My only antidote to mental suffering

Is physical pain

I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

[Chorus 1]

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer

And like a knife, I've been gunshot

Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah

It's in my stomach like fire

In my stomach like cancer

In my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

[Chorus 2]

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out, out, out

[Guitar Solo: Dimebag Darrell]

[Chorus 2]

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out, yeah

Goddamn, nowhere place to be

Dying deep inside of me

Always standing on the inside looking out

Can't break a heart so strong with pride

It's more than just being alive

I broke the rule with you, I'm out, out, out, out, out

604 Lyrics

[Verse]

Can't stop eating, can't stop eating

Can't stop eating, she's so fat

Can't stop eating, can't stop eating

Can't stop eating, she's so fat

Can't stop eating, can't stop eating

Can't stop eating, she's so fat

Toast to the Extras Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Swimming on the surface

It's a hell of a lot safer up here

Ain't prepared to dive

And uncover all my darkest fears

This ain't no covert operation

I don't have that much concentration

Staring at the clock

And my patience is wearing thin

One more down the gullet

Keeps me from jumping out of my skin

This ain't no covert operation

I'm lost in this fog of contradiction

[Chorus]

I toast to the extras

I drink to them cause they don't talk too much

They fill up space and entertain

And when I cut em loose, they don't make a fuss

They all add up to zero in my mind

They're just here to cure the boredom for the night

[Verse 2]

Now sometimes all this leaves me feeling hollow

That's when I take a refuge with my pillow

This ain't no covert operation

I'm not even ready for confession

[Chorus]

I toast to the extras

I drink to them cause they don't talk too much

They fill up space and entertain

And when I cut em loose, they don't make a fuss

They all add up to zero in my mind

They're just here to cure the boredom for the night

[Outro]

That's right

Born Again Idiot Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why do I explain myself when everyone's an idiot but me?

I think some people need, I think some people need

Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

[Pre-Chorus]

Kicking and screaming and dragged back into a life

Like ten pounds of sin in a nine pound bag

Still I come back to give you something that you never had

[Chorus]

Idiot rules, I never fight I only win

Idiot rules, idiot rules

Idiot rules and I didn't make them

Idiot rules, I never bend, I only break them

[Verse 2]

Finish my smoke, down my drink

Wipe my mouth and I just walk away

I think some people need, I think some people need

Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

[Pre-Chorus]

Kicking and screaming and dragged back into a life

Like ten pounds of sin in a nine pound bag

Still I come back to give you something that you never had

[Chorus]

Idiot rules, I never fight I only win

Idiot rules, idiot rules

Idiot rules and I didn't make them

Idiot rules, I never bend, I only break them

[Bridge]

What's the chance of finding something real and make it last?

For that I'd carry all my bags and leave them in the past

Because I spend my life fixing mistakes that left me scarred

And when I stand and meet my maker I'll be born again hard

[Guitar Solo: Dimebag Darrell]

[Verse 1]

Why do I explain myself when everyone's an idiot but me?

I think some people need, I think some people need

Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

[Chorus]

Idiot rules, I never fight I only win

Idiot rules, idiot rules

Idiot rules and I didn't make them

Idiot rules, idiot rules

Idiot rules, I never fight I only win

Idiot rules, idiot rules

Idiot rules, don't judge me by my sins

Idiot rules, I never bend, I only break them

Killing Box Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Bush]

I have always been an experiment in terror

At least I can only kill you once

Standing aloof when I made up my mind

Reaching, reaching, why it's better to be blunt

[Pre-Chorus: John Bush & Phil Anselmo]

You're walking point through my minefield

You gotta get out (Get out)

You're on point in my minefield

Forever waiting for a roadmap

[Chorus: John Bush, Phil Anselmo & Both]

Speak (Speak)

Say something

Speak (Speak)

Answer me

[Post-Chorus: John Bush]

I left you in a killing box

[Verse 2: John Bush]

Sketchy's not a name you can pin on me

I'll start a revolt with my honesty

A piece of you burns every time you lie

So let's start a war, just to see how many die

[Pre-Chorus: John Bush & Phil Anselmo]

You're walking point through my minefield

You gotta get out (Get out)

You're on point in my minefield

Forever waiting for a roadmap

[Chorus: John Bush, Phil Anselmo & Both]

Speak (Speak)

Say something

Speak (Speak)

Answer me

[Post-Chorus: John Bush]

I left you in a killing box

[Outro: John Bush]

I left you in a killing box

I left you in a killing...

Harms Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here comes the biggest asshole that the whole world's ever seen

Watch as things turn to something I never, I never meant to be

Call it a side effect of my arrested development

Here with you I'm trapped, I'm trapped, out of my element

I tear through all this wreckage

Wreckage you left when you dropped the bomb

Is there something worth saving

Or do I act, I act like nothing's wrong

The lesser of two evils gives me, gives me nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus]

Lust and madness, murder and mayhem

My whole life's been about playing

It's all so surreal

Maybe that's why I touch but can't feel

[Chorus]

Sittin' pretty, as I sit up straight

Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way

I move into harms way

[Verse 2]

I see my face in the mirror

I feel my feet but I can't seem to walk in my shoes

When it hurts I feel closer to you

Closer than you ever knew

And the bottom line is knowing

I will die and the worms will eat me

The bottom line is knowing

Ain't no one else I can be

[Pre-Chorus]

Lust and madness, murder and mayhem

My whole life's been about playing

It's all so surreal

Maybe that's why I touch but can't feel

[Chorus]

Sittin' pretty, as I sit up straight

Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way

Running steady (running steady), smile on my face

Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way

I move into harms way

[Outro]

Sittin' pretty as I, running steady as I, sittin' pretty as I sit up straight

Running steady (running steady), smile on my face

Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way

I move into harms way

Sittin' pretty as I, running steady as I, sittin' pretty as I sit up straight

Running steady (running steady), smile on my face

Trying to find means to an end I move into harms way

I move into harms way

Big Fat Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Looming large like a favorite son

One more time comes my obsession

Like a mountain stream that ends in mud

I'm wading in shit waiting for the flood, sinking

[Chorus 1]

You did, you did, you did, you did

Left me hating

You did, you did, you did, you did

Contemplating

[Verse 2]

I'm drinking strength for comic relief

While I'm growing super weak in the knees

You asked me can I deliver

Like a monster crossing the Hudson river, stomping

[Chorus 2]

You did, you did, you did, you did

Left me waning

You did, you did, you did, you did

Slowly draining

[Bridge]

Feet of clay that are stuck to the floor

You did, you did, you did, you did

And with vanity you want more

[Chorus 3]

Big fat kill

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world in my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

[Verse 3]

I'm biting my tongue so much it hurts

But at the same time I'm at a loss for words

The things I've seen should've left me blind

So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind, laughing

[Verse 2]

You did, you did, you did, you did

Left me waning

You did, you did, you did, you did

Slowly draining

[Bridge]

Feet of clay that are stuck to the floor

You did, you did, you did, you did

And with vanity you want more

[Chorus 3]

Big fat kill

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world in my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world in my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

[Interlude]

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come back

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world in my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

Carrying the weight of the world in my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

[Post-Chorus]

You asked me can I deliver

Like a monster crossing the Hudson river

Carrying the weight of the world in my hands

Carrying the weight of the world

The things I've seen should've left me blind

So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind

[Outro]

You did, you did, you did, you did
