BELLADONNA LYRICS

1. Face You

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Several places bother me
Can't replace the memories

You scare me half to death
You brace your soul to rest

Two way road doesn't exist
Might as well say it's over
Breakin' hearts
People stare

You scare me half to death
You brace your soul to rest

Everywhere I turn seems I got to face you
Every place I look I can't erase you
Everywhere I turn seems I gotta face you
To whom it may concern I can't take you
You got me surrounded
Always hounded

Forbidden disgrace is overbearing me
Trample lessons all we learn
Slam me closed
Hold me in

You scare me half to death
You brace your soul to rest
(Been there)

Dependent free from doubt
Surround conditions of life
Pat me down
Cover

You scare me half to death
You brace your soul to rest

Everywhere I turn seems I go to face you
Every place I look I can't erase you
To whom it may concern I can't take you
You got me surrounded
Always hounded
Hounded

You scare me half to death
You brace your soul to rest

2. Lost Control

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Corresponding
Astound
Startled and dumbfound
Misfortune
Youth
Discomfort
Don't be fooled by the way
Dreadful sound
Many ways to feel this
Underneath the grind

Gruesome sound
Simmer down

I'm on the loose
I've lost control
Oh by the way
I'm on a roll
I'm on the loose
I've lost my soul
I'm on the way
I'm on the go
I've lost control
Lost control
Lost control

Nervous and I'm pale
Indication of life
Pass me by
Should I know to avoid it
Should I know to prove it
Respect these feelings
Over and over again

Gruesome sound
Simmer down

I'm dishonored
In disguise
Mindless guidance
Weightless response
Lost my mind

3. Long Way Down

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Type one memo
Arm rest level
Harmless fly on the wall
Seems so blinded
Blinds rolled down
Help me to focus
The way to hell
Release the blindfolds
Release the blindfolds
Right down to the hot coal
Right down to the hot coal

Why leave me there alone
Take it to see the sky

[CHORUS]
Choose between the good and the bad
Now you're lost underground
Now you've lost everything
That you had
Cause you're lost underground
Cause it's a long way down
Cause it's a long way down
Choose between the good and the bad
Now you're lost underground

Bribe won't make it
No forgiveness
Soon your fate's in line
Erase the crime cord
Erase the side show
Right down to the dark hole
Right down to the dark hole

Why leave me there all alone
Take it to see the sky

[CHORUS]

Cause it's a long way down
Cause it's a long way down
Cause it's a long way down
From your face
Turn your eyes
Without knowing
Then you fall
You lie

What does it have to take
Will it make you learn
You believe in the hell
Fool

[CHORUS]

4. Bad Memories

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Find a way to combat
What you fought for years
There's no other format
Or way to switch gears
Find a way to combat
Your every little move
Failed the test for battle
That put you in a duel
All set for battle
That all you ever knew, knew

They're comin' now
Flyin' down
All made of spies

Find a way to pull back
That battle's about to brew
Sand's blowin' southwest
Barely have a view
Never had a clear head

They're comin' now
Flyin' down
All made of spies

[CHORUS]
Bad memories
Can't, can't fight it
Those, those bad memories
Don't even cover me
Over and above
Over and above
Bad bad memories
Those bad memories

All seems out of focus
What have you got into
Coast reduction
There's a code blue
No hesitation
My face is green
The unsuspected survival crew
Find a way to come back
The battle through
They'll find a way back
Your little move
Kind of desperate
I've prayed before

They're comin' now
Fly down
All made of spies

Might not ever come back
What you gonna do
Might not ever come back
We're comin' through

They're comin'
Still disarming
Send me the message
Fall over
They're spies

[CHORUS 3x]

5. Jokin'

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Push to the limit
Now get me involved
This time I'll be there
Arrive on my own
Guide my emotions
The wild eye stands alone
When I catch you
You'll find a mess
One less beggar
You stand alone
Now you can kiss your ass good-bye

You lock up the question of faith
Try'n open up the door

Must be jokin'
You're outspoken
You're the problem I'm facing
Must be jokin'
You're provoking
Poor conditions
Is fatal

One thing I fear
Is the fear on your face
High time I think it's self-hate
Tell you once
Should I tell you again
Find it's time to eliminate

You lock up the question of faith
Try'n open up the door
Must be jokin'
You're outspoken
You're the problem I'm facing
Must be jokin'
You're provoking
Poor condition is fatal

Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare

Must be jokin'
You're outspoken
You're the problem I'm facing
Must be jokin'
You're provokin'
Poor conditions
Is fatal
Must be jokin'
You're outspoken
You're the problem I'm facin'

6. Phony

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

It's a self profit
By the looks of you turned away
Seems that I've been down
Time and time again
Now show me something
That I don't already know
I'm the man in motion
Try to find the way out

I smell a phony
You're every bit a phony
I met a phony
Don't breathe on me
Don't get close to me
I met a phony
Met a phony

Often times I fold
Rollin' down the hill
Never look at me in the eye
I don't ever know you
You never really ever knew me
It's the one time I'm not surprised
Please allow me to give you tokens

Goin' down
It's over
You're out of your mind
Wave good-bye
You'll be walkin' the line
I'll be on the other side
Wave good-bye

7. I Don't Need

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

I beg you
I'm no treasure
Mixed review
Let me go
Without dropping me
I'm on a tightrope
Without a net
Alone with my life
Bracing me
Across that line
Importing tone

Throw me a line
Throw me a line

I don't need
I don't need
I don't need
I don't need
It's all on me
The pressure on me
I don't need
I don't need
I want to live

Trust me
I swear
Please throw me a line
Considering the pressure
Strengthen my hold
Providing that it's over
Runnin' through my head
Writing on the ground
I'm never going down
I'm never going down

8. How Would You Know

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Golden era
Lost forever
Departing terror
You fly all alone
Gone forever
Couldn't upset
True go-getter
You sweat alone
You've got to save yourself

Frightened
Recreate yourself
Dislocate
Maybe separate
Freak-out
Someday you lose
How would you

How would you know
What I've been through
Sad wind blowin'
Wild with truth
How would you know
What I've been through
The bullshit flowin'
Inside of you
How would you know

Top the test
Might need a rest
Crawl
Confess
You die on your own
God knows best
Will never contest
For those who need to object
Got to save yourself
Got to save yourself

Frightened
Recreate yourself
Dislocate
Maybe separate
Freak-out
Someday you lose
How would you

How would you know
What I've been through
Sad winds blowin'
Wild with proof
How would you know
What I've been through
The bullshit's flowin'
Inside of you
How would you know
What I've been through
Sad winds blowin'
Wild with truth
How would you know
How would you know

How would you know
What I've been through
Sad wind blowin'
Wild with truth
How would you know
What I've been through
The bullshit flowin'
Inside of you
How would you know
What I've been through
Sad winds blowin'
Wild with proof
How would you know
What I've been through
The bullshit's flowin'
Inside of you
How would you know
Gone forever
How would you know
How would you know
Gone forever

9. Ultimate Threat

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Surreptitious conquest
Disturbance
Transmute
Crawl-space of pleasure
You're walkin' proof

Time will be told
By the looks on your hands
Crawl-space of vision
In retaliation
No mercy or forgiveness

Shake
You tremble
Terrorize the rest
Vengeance turned into threats
Worthless
You're worthless

Strong opinion
All points at you
You're the ultimate threat
Blown your cover
Open your wounds
You're the ultimate threat

Retribution
Crime will be carried out
Help me to understand

No one told you
Terrorize the rest
Vengeance turned into threats
Sudden hell
Selfish one
Crawl-space of pleasure
Disclosing the rest
Encounter
Separation
Distress

Well into midnight
Portentous
You press
Vengeance you turned into threats
Cold-hearted one die

Strong opinion
All points at you
You're the ultimate threat
Blowin' your cover
Open your wounds
You're the ultimate threat
Strong opinion
All points at you
You're the ultimate threat
Ultimate threat
Ultimate threat
Die, die

10. Don't Pin Me Down

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Cross-eyed folded portrait
Try to hold the pain inside of me
Pin down dimension with grace of sin
Boy I've faced it
I won't retrace it
Try to face the higher god
You know that he's wise

Don't pin me down
About being free
Don't turn it around
Case liberty
Don't turn it around
It's about bein' free
Don't pin me down

Grasp up all the press
We demand much more
Arbitrary rule is based on people
Captured by the moment
Moral influence
Express your independence
Independent free will

Don't pin me down
About being free
Don't turn it around
Case of liberty
Don't turn it around
It's about bein' free
Don't pin me down
Don't pin me down
Freedom
Freedom

Can't stop fightin'
Can't stop fightin'
Can't stop fightin' the war
Can't stop fightin'
Can't stop fightin'
Can't stop fightin' the war

Can you feel the weight
Comin' down your way
Discard you
Scared you
You're unable
Restricted and bound
Look let's be fair

11. Cover Me

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Release your mind
To reach out of bounds
To leave behind
Signs are all out there
Only repeat despair
No place for shelter
With disease so massive

High voltage
Alarming cry
Mortifying
You face forward
Cruel
Look at you

Deprived, deprived
Disorder, organize
Remove, destroy the man
Cover me, time to go
Battle

Judgement will be order
Outline the route
Terminate without hesitation
Join me you coward
Whatever the circumstance

High voltage
Alarming cry
Mortifying
You face forward
Cruel
Look at you

Deprived, deprived
Disorder, organize
Remove, destroy the man
Cover me, time to go
Battle zone
Release your man
To leave behind
What's your point
Mercify
You weirdo
I salute ya

High voltage
Alarming cry
Mortifying
You face forward
Cruel
Look at you

12. Out Of Gas

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

I might be lucky
I might be late
Look out
I'm unleaded
Extremely fast
No matter what scale
Smooth to go

I lead it
Well seated
Then I broke down

Broke down
I've run out of gas
I can't move
I've run out of gas
I'm through
I've run out of gas
I'm through

Feel I'm stuck here
Rather confused
A bit reluctant
Such a fool
I barely trust it
I know who's who
I've now run out
Out of fuel

Not so lucky
And I broke down
Full-shifted
Won't turn over

13. Stress Your Mind

[Joey Belladonna/Peter Scheithauer]

Brains are divided
In two separate pairs
Pressure of force
Walk the dead
Proportion of sound
Cuttin' your head
By compulsion, distress

Don't stress your mind
Impulses
It will make you mean
Don't make your mind overflow
Don't draw the line, sober
You'll grit your teeth
Don't stress your mind no more

Harder you press
The more you will stress
The greater the step to intense
Right by the temple
You flirt with your success
Pray, I don't need this shit

Divin' Drivin'
Divin' Drivin'
There's no limit
Hold on tightly
