Paroles pour l'album Diary of a Mad Band de Down

1. Losing All

My brain distorts the pleasure,
Mo facts behind my eyes.
This pain I've come to treasure,
Being down has become my life...

don't know which one is real,
been kicked in the groin
I drown the way I feel,
thoughI will to go

Losing all

I'm lord of misery
I'm king of the hill
I'm a broken man of the world
in a state of

my wrists are slit,
I'm losing all.
gun at my head,
I'm losing all.
my bones are broken,
I'm losing all
last time I had,
I'm losing all

Losing all

2. Lifer

Free at last, i'm the past,
Undone in unknown prison,
I'm holding on. peace and need?
A mouth to feed?
I'm standing way on

The other side. i'm staring
Right back at myself,
And through it's frozen image,
I'm laughing right back
At my health - lifelong
Arms in knots, never spot,
My blood is fading

On the world. stealing keys?
Soul to me?
And to the brotherhood with what
Writes the pain.
I'm staring
Right back at myself,
And through it's frozen image,
I'm laughing right back
At my health - lifelong

I'm a lifer.

I'm staring
Right back at myself,
And through it's frozen image,
I'm laughing right back
At my health

I'm a lifer.

3. Lysergic Funeral Procession

Pray to someone
I'm going out of my head
Dislocate
Stay safe in your unmade bed

Lysergik funeral procession

The world is watched
Straight from your TV sets
Makes you ill
Turn off and drop out in spurts

Lysergik funeral procession

I get up, get ready to face this world
I come down
I come down so hard, I hit then bounce
In a pool of piss I lay

Once revived, I was better off like I was
In so many pieces
And I'm so damn mad, so fucking mad
To lose that special darkness
I've got nothing to lose

4. Rehab

Long day lay me low.

Lay me low.

Head burning drunk.
I don't need none
That's right man i'm fine
But what i've got to know,
Is have i wasted time?
My eyes are blind
To almost everything you see.
And i'm drowning through sorrow
- you recognize me -
Be me for a change (fucked)
Under the silk,

In a box of pine,
And that's dying -
Not a single other life
Ever will have felt my price
Is it worth the risk to be revived?
And i'm dying, i'm hollow
- it won't deny me -
Be me for a change (fucked)
On the last day
They'll take it all away
On and outta my mind
Gimme some medicine...
And i'm drowning through sorrow
- it won't deny me -
Be me for a change (fucked)
Yeah, one more time...

Long day kill me long

5. Temptation's Wings

I feel the pressure, it lightens
To judge this spirit of mine
To be like the judgement
To be the king that is left behind

To hell with i miss you
I said i 'd do it alone
Ripping apart from you
A broken vision to call my own

I gave my life to reason
So now i'm watching my life go
My wit is falling apart
I can't shake temptations wings
I can't shake temptations wings

I bury my head with frustration
And i look at others and wonder why(?)
I'm feeding my cancer
A broken vision that stole my sight

I gave my life to reason,
So now i'm watching my life go -

My wit is falling apart

I can't shake temptation wings!
Temptations wings...
Temptations wings got me pale
Why?

6. Ghosts Along the Mississippi

In the morning, it takes me quite a while to clear my head
And as the day moves on, I find it hard to smile at something said
So I took control, priority number one, and that's me
Then I cut the dragon's head off, and put away my gun, so let it be
So let it be

I'm dying prematurely, I'm wasting my life for sure
I'm trying to kill what's happening to me
A ghost along the Mississippi

I never thought before, a life could be so strange, but it is
And I guess my one a day, became ten or twelve or more, and more
But I've got a gift, it's something called my friends or love
With them and I combined, I'll beat an early end, it's been done before

No time of passing away, of losing just one more day
I'm trying to kill what's happening to me
A ghost along the Mississippi

Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me
Can't happen to me
Won't do it to me

Destroying what's got ahold of me
No more the ghost of Mississippi

7. Learn from This Mistake

I've come so close, it's almost hard to believe
When you're up close, it blinds you brilliantly
Just one rush can change your life forever
Just one push can end it all together

Why can't we learn from the plague that surrounds us
Learn from my mistakes
Learn from this mistake
Learn from our mistake
Learn from their mistakes

There's no shoulder to cry on when you have no shame
There's no finger to point when you are to blame
Open book, in my eyes shows you rain, then storming
I can't look, when covered by the nothing and the suffering

Learn from my mistakes
Learn from this mistake
Learn from our mistake
Learn from their mistakes
Learn from my mistake

Believe me, all my friends, in the ending of the story
There's no junkie out there with a happy ending
It consumes you, and haunts you like the devil
It's the art of the process that kills off all the rebels

Learn from this mistake
Learn from my mistake
Learn from our mistake
Learn from my mistake...

8. Hail the Leaf

That brave river, i can't sail.

Because of that lone feeling,
That i might fail.
So fuck it.
I just smoke let me feel stoned
6th hour.
I still fail to rise,
And i cower in
Reality's eyes, so i
Just smoke

Let me feel stoned
Let that paranoia cut
My head off.
I'm low down
Crying shame today smoke stoned
I have fallen
Scattered the wave
Alone i'm crying
Broken shade
So i just smoke let me feel stoned
I can't feel you
You can't brave (the river?)
No more sadness no more pain
Not what feeds you but what raves
No more sadness no more...

9. New Orleans Is a Dying Whore

The 1800s, before the inception
Of modern day ideals
Fake grip of appeals
Straight to the street run, no barroom virgin
Double vision, cocaine
To a whorehouse of pain

New Orleans is a dying whore
Naked she sleeps on my floor
New Orleans is a dying whore

The spreading highway
To the underwater staircase
Leading up to a black room
To leave there you're a fool
Mob world politics
So broke it can't fix
Trapped in a time zone
There's no place like home

New Orleans is a dying whore
If ?? break down the door
New Orleans is a dying whore

New Orleans is a dying whore
Stripped down and beat to the floor
New Orleans is a dying whore

New Orleans is a dying whore
Blood covered, stuck to my floor
New Orleans is a dying whore

10. Lies, I Don't Know What They Say But...

Sometimes I feel like a man that has two broken hands
All of this thrown at me, sinking me neck deep in sand
They can't kill me no more, I don't know what to say 'cause it's lies
Lies

Underneath all this, they should see the man that I am
All of my life I've been tried and then persecuted
They can't kill me no more, I don't know what to say 'cause it's lies
Lies

Underneath all this, they should see the man that I really am
I've been tried and persecuted
Lies

Undenied
Cold shackles inches from the knife
I defy
What's mine shall be but nothing stands the time
Not surprised
It's the same to sleep as it is to rise
Lies

Undenied
Cold shackles on my hands, inches away

Death or life
Look deeply into my eyes
Fire on fire
Way to be and get a fucking ride
Some desire
A "fuck you" soars through the sky
Lies

11. Underneath Everything

Woe to me, battered man
Raise the monolith
Deitize my spirit rise
Like days the world forgets - down the
Drain - laid to lame
A fool-ass hearty bliss
Borderline suicide,
Celebrate before my death
Your promised land divide,
That's why the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. i give up.
I'm underneath my life.
Dog in heat, beware the street
Its there you'll meet your end
Poverty is not for me,
But i'll take her back again
To prove a point,
To laugh it off, to cross you off my path,
Grip the night, pull the cord,
A much inspired wrath.
Your promised land divide,
That's where the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. i give up.
I'm underneath my life.
Carry me back from the war
And from the lord.

12. The Seed

Smoke up, do what you must do
Wake up, inhale the earth grown fumes
Higher than mountains, but oh so goddamn deep
The morning star we reach, think for yourself
And that's you, you times a million

Look around, we surround the fields
On guard for the perfection of the seed
Perfection of the seed

Try hard to stop us which you can't
Outnumbered by the marijuana camps
Larger than nations, I can't name one without
Must kill the king of drought
Planting of pleasure, rising up, stretch towards the sky

Look around, we surround the fields
On guard for perfection of the seed
Perfection of the seed

This way of life has become an addiction
Despite right or wrong and their closed superstition
This way of life has become an addiction
Despite right or wrong, despite right or wrong
Despite right or wrong

Perfection of the seed...

13. Eyes of the South

Goddamn!
This time it's real,
It's a love that i feel.
I may be tainted but god knows
It's good to me, 'cause you see -
I leave my woes at
Stranger's road dispose,
And let the sun back on my face.
It's a soul sense of pride,
Good lord the south is blind,
But she gives me
So much sufferage with my pain,

I feel the strain
When i get behind a big slow day
I've fucked it all
Was that down? was that family?
I leave my woes at
Stranger's road dispose.
And let the sun back in my face.
It's a soul sense of pride,
Good lord the south is blind,
But she will never
Let me go back to being sane
But please let me die there...
Cold war leaves me there...
Let me die there...

14. Jail

One day, the strain
I've never felt like this before
Our lives capsized, one man will give back
Be clm my love
Why don't you kneel for me?
I write for sight
One day you'll find me in the corner
More sublime,
But I still never died before...

15. Stone the Crow

A bout of deep depression
Can't seem to move it forward
My lying eyes lie awake
Not sure what I am after

I never died before
Can't live what happened yesterday
I never stoned the crow, no

Flip through endless stories
A life of hand-written pain
No one can share this hurt that is mine, mine, mine

I never died before
Can't be what happened yesterday
I shouldn't stone the crow, no

Ride on!
Same old city, same old pain
No matter how I try,
No matter what I say,
I'm blamed, I'm shamed,
I'm judged unfairly

So now I've died before
It feels as bad as yesterday
I never stoned the crow, no
You too have died before
It's more than less of yesterday
I never stoned the crow, stoned the crow, no, no.

16. Bury Me in Smoke

When does a closing
Keep me locked away
No chance was given
To find myself today
My time of aging
Wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come
I know the reason why
I have to risk it
Alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have to use it
To keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke
Under the world
I wait for my fate
My soul resting
Beneath my blissful hate
My time of aging
Wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come
I know the reason why
I have to risk it
Alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have to use it
To keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke
