Psychotic Break (Tablature)
I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift
And hope you'll never know
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Snapping two by fours
Punching holes in dry wall
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Chalking up my dead friends
And loved ones long gone
I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift
And hope you'll never know
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Snapping two by fours
Punching holes in dry wall
Feel like a psychotic break comin' on
Thinking 'bout my dead friends
Whose voices ring on

Bargain Basement Howard Hughes (Tablature)
Don't deny I did you cold
I broke your trust and lied
Controlling, selfish, gossip abound
Cocaine mouth over mind
And I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking
We had good years too
Though apart, you're still in my heart
I'd give anything for you
And I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels
Often heard, seldom seen
Bargain Basement Howard Hughes
Hermit phase, a woodshed rage
These days headlines are few
And I say...
I wash my hands, pull the slivers
No master plan, I deliver
Enigma wrapped in riddle
Your life I belittle
Dignity I'd steal
Now I know how it feels

Anger Rising (Tablature) (Bass)
Alabama trailer park they call home
Boy standing at attention in the corner his own
Terrified, scorpion crawling the wall
By the way father could you please beat me some more?
Anger rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Cold Alaska, hiding, bundled up tight
Stretch aluminum foil 'cross the window at night
Mother crying, calling out up the stairs
By the way father do you even care that I'm scared?
Anger rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Devil rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand
Generation three, solitary, alone
By the way father created hell on my own
Anger rising up inside him yet again
Tell me you got a plan
Deaf and blind I'm livin' with the lepers and
You want to hold my hand

Angel Eyes (Tablature)
Homely, thick in mind, never listen
Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision
Don't forget this chance only live once
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it all
She said I forgive you
Don't regret our time
You've got to move on love
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Bow down, piper leading, you were one
Hungry, took the prize, then you got dumb
Don't live out your life like a sad song
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it on
She said I forgive you
You must too or die
You've got to let me go
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Angel eyes
Your face is all I see
Agonize
Forever haunting me

Solitude (Tablature)
There's no out, downside up for good
No light, reflection understood
Had to try, perversion satisfy
Insane...so I indulge the beast awhile
When hurting yourself feels right
And there's nothing familiar in sight
Take the time to pull the weeds choking flowers in your life...
Or seal your doom
Cold transparent blue
Locked inside a room
In solitude
Insanity takes you
So black it's untrue
Insanity takes you
So black, it's untrue

Mother Spinning In Her Grave (Tablature) (Bass)
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't tame
You need to be the dog
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
That you that's already gone
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother spinning in her grave 'cause she can't tame
You need to be the dog
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones

Hellbound (Tablature) (Bass)
Going down a last act scene
Curtain call begin bowing
Self-appointed abuse king
Hellbound, that's my belief
Black eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing stream long stilled
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down
Justified, a self-made man
All I do is what I can
Edges sharpened, blasted sand
Bizarre, devoted fan
Black eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing theme blown will
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going to stay down
Warshington, a fish belly rust
Sad chapter read last page first
Black eat white, cassette thrill
Whatever come, eat your fill
Choke on bones, flowing dream now killed
The truth is to some degree we all steal
Hellbound
Come 'round
Hellbound
Going way down

Give It A Name (Tablature)
Give it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own
Give it a name like a howling blue hound
Chasing your fears man he's hunting you down
Give it a name, get it out of your eye
Come from the dockland got your low hangin' high
Give it a name, though you call yourself saved
She's deep on your bone and it won't go away
Slowly all the roles we act out become our identity
And in the end we are what we pretend to be
Give it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own
Give it a name like a howling blue hound
Chasing your fears man he's hunting you down
Give it a name, get it out of your eye
Come from the dockland got your low hangin' high
Give it a name, though you call yourself saved
She's deep on your bone and it won't go away
Slowly all the roles we act out become our identity
And in the end we are what we pretend to be
Separating self from dream, harsh reality
And though it hurts, embrace the truth and from fear be set free

Castaway (Tablature)
Day break, wind is blowing strong
No escape, caught on a reef in the storm
Castaway, licking his cracked lips sore
Patient, waits, hoping the rats reach the shore...yeah...yeah
Yesterday, seems a lifetime now
Remembering, those he left and how
Out in space, laughing at all below
Island stage, plays to his thoughts and ego...yeah....yeah
Dusk fall, fading sun, no fire light
Memories amplify his plight
Gathering, searching for shelter above
Feel the sting, choking on hoarded love...yeah...yeah
Thin, cold, tired...castaway

She Was My Girl (Tablature)
Copacetic, calm my frenetic, she's the shit y'all
Highly-rated, well-educated, she's an angel
She's ambitious, beautiful, delicious, got a restaurant
I can take it, truth stripped me naked, yeah I fucked up...yeah
She was my girl
Used to be my world
I miss my girl
What a fine girl
She put together, says she's doing better since she let go
Repeated dreamer, now and then I see her and we have lunch
Ever playful, hook the jumper cable, give me fresh spark
Sister ringing, old reminder stinging, bridges burned hoss...yeah
She was my girl
Used to be my world
I miss my girl
What a fine girl
She called me up, I guess she pretty stuck, she needed my help
It made me happy, hence the lyric sappy, I still love her...yeah
She was my girl
Used to be my world
I miss my girl
What a fine girl
Such a fine girl
I miss my girl
Used to be my world
She was my girl

Chemical Tribe (Tablature)
Should I live so long
To see 'em dropping bombs
Hope I have you near
Check out what comes after here...what comes after here
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Don't really care if we live or die
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Been sold out and it's no surprise
Let the black odds roll
Why we can't tell
Ball inside
Roll me over, is this hell...is this hell?
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Don't really care if we live or die
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Been sold out and it's no surprise
No last supper rite
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Leaning more toward Cain than Abel
No last supper rite
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Possibly more truth than fable
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Generation turned a chemical tribe
Been sold out let me say goodbye
No last supper rite
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Leaning more toward Cain than Abel
No last supper rite
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Possibly more truth than fable
No last supper rite
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Born in ending times
Leaning more toward Cain than Abel
Bitchslapped 'fore you reached the table
Could it be more truth than fable?

Never been to your place, but I know it

What day is today? Don't I know you?
19 and bold, bitten in Houston
Out to the car, picked up a spider
Anesthetize your face, loser beside ya
Slow poison working inside
Descending in a shadow, cocoon me then bite
Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain
Spun monkeys on the railroad track
Take me to the caine field
I walk along pick my spiderbite
My old man wonders where I'm at
I'm still a child, guess I keep trying to pay him back
Arrogance stains, threading your silk tomb
Steady she drain, spider digest you
Slow poison working inside
Descending in a shadow, cocoon me then bite
Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

Locked On (Tablature)
Everything you heard I did and maybe then some ok
Does it make you happy and now is it out of the way?
Everything you heard I done and probably then some ok
Does it really matter of course I took it all the way
What more can I say
Locked on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Every word is true, baby I won't deny
Don't you push me over, I ain't even finished my ride
Every word you read is true and maybe that is a lie
Strap session closing and I'm a going out of my mind
What more can I say
Locked on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Locked on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Every song I wrote I meant what I said at the time
Yeah I spent some time looking death right in the eye
Every song I wrote I captured a fragment of time
Dying a little bit makes you appreciate life
Nothing more to say
Locked on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life
Locked on - what's the deal?
Faded rock star, push and needle
You don't know, well that's alright
You do your thing, I'll live my life

Gone (Tablature)
All dreams have died along the way
I coughed up the price, I bought a cage
I've had a hell of a time since I went away
Don't know when I died, or where to lay down
Gone, gone away
Yeah, gone, gone away
God knows I've tried, I'm dyed in pain
Strong yet simple drive, the freedom to say
I've had a hell of a time since I went away
Homing on traces of light, that distance fades
Yeah I'm gone, gone away
Yeah I'm gone, gone away
So they say with time, we slowly heal
I caught a flash of your smile, through the fog of a dream
I'll have a hell of a time, I clearly see
I can't be by your side, I'll see you when I sleep
Now you're gone...gone away
Yeah you're gone...gone away

Pig Charmer (Tablature) (Bass)
Well I'm a pig charmer, lie in filth getting off
I make my bed in a wallow, lackey, fill my trough
Digging through garbage bubble fried a pork rind
I pick and save all my scabs to serve up dinner time
Chorus:
And I say welcome to my sty
Throw my shoe, turn light out
Come on in, get high
Don't mind piss-filled bottles
Hack and cough, I write
Peppered walls I spit out
And my future looks bright... swelter geek inside
Way past halitosis, Mr.Yuk Mouth I slay
It turns out he's a big pussy, Satan hoof had its way
Two months no shower, cigarette methane fog
And if you ever need it I give mean horse hog
Chorus
This time I hope I'm wrong, not right
Man I don't really want to die
Pretty sure I'm gonna fry
And I don't really want to die
Pretty sure I'm gonna fry
And my future looks bright
Well I'm a pig charmer, lie in filth getting off
I make my bed in a wallow, lackey, fill my trough
Digging through garbage bubble fried a pork rind
I pick and save all my scabs to serve up dinner time
Chorus
Man I don't really want to die
Pretty sure I'm gonna fry
Man I don't really want to die
Oh *** I think I'm gonna fry
I really think I'm gonna fry
Really sure I'm gonna fry
Now I know I'm gonna fry

Dickeye (Tablature)
Once round outside and check the door
Only thing he came here lookin' for
One man wasting another man
One hand washes the other hand
Born traitor, soul fader
Stoplight flashes in the street
Injected concrete hide bloody feet
Armed and shining in his hands
Cold metallic green, he don't give a damn
Born traitor, soul fader
Down come the hammer, fall my God, you say
Once again the big dog has his way
One man wasting another man
One hand washes the other hand
Born traitor, soul fader
One man wasting another man
Born traitor
One hand washes the other hand
Born traitor
One man wasting another man
Born traitor
One hand washes the other hand
Soul Fader

Cut You In (Tablature) (Bass)
I like to sit
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone
I lose myself
Hide from the sun
I make a trip, when I'm out of fun
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-timed friend
I call you up
Whenever I'm stoned
We chew the skin, choke on the bones
You wonder when
I'll go away
If I could deal with it, I would've stayed
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-timed friend
I like to sit
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone

My Song (Tablature) (Bass)
She won't tell me lies
She want to see me smile, yeah
Every time you let it show
I didn't want to know
By the time I had lost my soul
You had to go
She come, in disguise
I want to say goodbye, yeah
Every time I let it show
You didn't want to know
By the time I had lost my soul
You had to go
You had to go
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
She got her own way
Same as yesterday, yeah
Every time you let it show
I didn't want to know
By the time I had sold my soul
You had to go
You had to go
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
Love's strong, mine gone
Still have the time to sing my song
Still have the time to sing my song
Still not a crime to sing my song

Settling Down (Tablature)
Though you're always on my mind
Found a sickness that was mine
Chose a life out on the run
All alone inside this game
Until I'm done
Sometimes I don't think I can trust myself no more
Seems I failed you all my life
Youthful dreams you'd be my wife
Before I fall into the sun
If there never is again
You were the one
Sometimes I don't think I can trust myself no more
So I don't feel that I can love you anymore
On this settling down
Oh I better lay down and rest awhile
On this settling down
Oh I better lay down and rest awhile
Sometimes I don't think I can trust myself no more
And I don't know if I can love you anymore
On this settling down
Oh I better lay down and rest awhile
On this settling down
Oh I better lay down and rest awhile
And I say no

Breaks My Back (Tablature)
Through windows by my bed
Miles away I rest my weary head
Next to you
No coldness in my eye
Cut the skin and take my sorry hide
Cover you
Make love with you
It bleeds upon my back
Strapped with silver tacks
Wish I'd loved you more
And never shut that door
Wash away the stones of pain we bore
I tortured you
I tried to drown my hate
Underneath and ocean I still wait
Remembering you, always true
It bleeds upon my back
Strapped with silver tacks
Wish I'd loved you more
And never shut that door
Restitution day
All I have I give away
To be with you
If it breaks my back
Through windows by my bed
Miles away I rest my weary head
Next to you
No coldness in my eye
Cut the skin and take my sorry hide
Cover you
Make love with you
It bleeds upon my back
Strapped with silver tacks
Wish I'd loved you more
And never shut that door
Restitution day
All I have I give away

Jesus Hands (Tablature)
If you ever torch your bridges
If you're ever past the starlight
If you're ever unassured
Forever you will burn
As you sleep unearthly grace
Lay Jesus hands upon your face
To this sea you've been shot down
Now find the shore, it can be found
Can be found
Can be found
If you ever crack your small mind
If you're ever much disturbed
If you ever reach the shore
Forever be your turn
As you sleep unearthly grace
Lay Jesus hands upon your face
To this sea you've been shot down
Now find the shore, it can be found
Can be found

Devil By His Side(Tablature)
Clear on the road tonight
Headlamps shine on the one-way signs
I try to clear my head
Of thoughts better left unsaid
Runnin' down an old elusive high
One more time
The wind upon my face
No one here for to block my way
I wake the setting sun
Bullet shot by a thoughtful gun
Runnin' down an old elusive high
Did I lose you
Oh friend of mine
Is it in your hardened heart to
Trust me one more time
See, I'm tryin' to shake that same
Devil from my side
Always watchin' me, yeah
Laughing while I cry
While I cry
Gunnin' down an old elusive high
One more time
Clear on the road tonight
Headlamps shine on the mileage signs
Not much furthur to go
I laugh and I'm almost home
Gunnin' down an old elusive high
Did I lose you
Oh friend of mine
Is it in your hardened heart to
Trust me one more time
See, I'm tryin' to shake that old
Devil from my side
Always taunting me, yeah

Keep the Light On (Tablature)
Haven't seen her, she hit the wall last night
Bumped his head low, a cause-effected fight
She says she ain't gonna take it no more
(Golden ring around her finger)
But she won't ever set him free
(Golden ring around his finger)
Come to find out, she'd been with someone else
So it's a bitch now, he sees it in himself
Long before we, teachers of our game
On a bent Lord, it tends to get insane
She says she ain't gonna take it no more
(Golden ring around her finger)
But she's not gonna set him free
He keeps the light on, prepare for war
Severed past gone, it's all the same today
Cannibalistic, eating themselves away
She says she ain't gonna take it no more
(Golden ring around her finger)
But she's not gonna set him free
'Cause he keeps the light on, prepare for war
He keeps the light on, prepare for war
(Golden ring around her finger)
He keeps the light on, prepare for war

Satisfy (Tablature)
I would like to know
How you cage a bird aflight
Feathers bright
To show your might
Are you such a stone
Smile greasy, you pick my bones
Crawl inside
Have you no life
Hard times on the refugee
Keep a sidesteppin' over me
Not sure but you think you might
Can you see when there is no light
Tell me once again
That you'd like to be my friend
While we run
A race of one
Do you feel the same
My head hung high in shame
You install
A trophy wall
Hard times on the refugee
Keep a sidesteppin' over me
Not sure but you think you might
Can you see when there is no light
Please me
Satisfy
One request
Choose to live....
No reply....

Hurt a Long Time (Tablature)
His hands are clenched
His knuckles white
He got a gun
And gave up the fight
When I found out
I couldn't even cry
Well I am now
And I'm tryin' to figure out why
I'll save it for you
You save me from me
And the hole in my head I can see
Tell her I love her
Tell the kids that I love them
Oh, it's a bad dream
I've got only time
Yeah, it's a bad dream

Between (Tablature)
Going to California
Try and find my head
Gonna swim in the ocean until I'm dead
Let the infection spread
On my way to Texas
Drive up on my ranch
Gonna take you fishin' up Big Branch
Well now you're my catch
Somewhere in between the wrong and right
We fight
It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong
And in my mind, that's alright
Off in New York City
Good to see some friends
Scratched my nose upon a barrette on her head
Laid up in a rental bed
Then back home to Seattle
Fed the monkey man
I proceed to throw up all over my hand
Well it ain't so bad
Somewhere in between the wrong and right
We fight
It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong
And in my mind, that's alright

Cold Piece (Tablature)
Been awhile and you see his face
So you can't ignore the waste
All the empty spaces
No one home, leaving only traces
Give up, go 'way
He's not yours to save
And if you decide
He's not that kind
He's got a cold piece inside
Cold piece inside
Now you hear that there's something wrong
Though it's sad, he lives his song
Ever changing
Stranded on the notes remaining
Give up, go 'way
He's not yours to save
And if you decide
He's not that kind
He's got a cold piece inside
Cold piece inside
In your sunshine
In your sunshine
Where's your sunshine now
Average all, let it in my son
To be, is worth the damage done
You have no halo
Don't spend your time sniffin' round dead shadows
Give up, go 'way
He's not yours to save
And if you decide
I'm not that kind
He say, give up, go 'way
I'm not yours to save
And if you decide
I'm not that kind
I got a cold piece inside
Cold piece inside
In your sunshine
In your sunshine
Where's your sunshine now

Leave Me Alone (Tablature)
(From "The Cable Guy" soundtrack)
Blame me
Save a prayer for those who haunt you
There now
I don't mind if you still love me
Don't come over, hear what I say
Don't come over, hear what I say
Don't come over, hear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Shame me
Hide your heart from those who hunt you
Way down (down, down)
Would you care if I still need her
Don't come over, hear what I say
Don't come over, hear what I say
Don't come over, hear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Save me
Taken far from those who flaunt you
Calm down
Drag your heart and you behind her
Don't come over, hear what I say
Don't come over, hear what I say
Don't come over, hear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone

I've Seen All This World I Care To See
(From Twisted Willie)
Jerry Cantrell (Guitar and Vocals)
Sean Kinney (Kick Drum)
I close my eyes and watch the darkness
Withdraw to my world of make believe
This world is filled with so much sorrow
And I've seen all this world I care to see
I watch as castles fall around me
From crumbled ruins of my own
This world is filled with muh uhappiness
So many people so alone
Seeds that thrive in loveless gardens
The fruits of such will bitter be
Fields of hate and greed surround me
And I've seen all this world I care to see
