DEFTONES LYRICS

1. Diamond Eyes

To the edge
Till we all get off
I will take
You away with me
Once and for all

Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
Shower me into the same
Realm

Calculate
Our embrace
Hold on (Come with me now)
Right away
Outer space with me
Once and for all

Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
Shower me into the same
Realm
Time will see us realign
Diamonds reign across the sky
I will lead us to the same
Realm

When the coffin shakes
And the needle breaks
Come right away with me
Come on you'll see
Once and for all

Time will see us realign
Diamonds rain across the sky
Shower me into the same
Realm
Time will lead us to the same
Realm
I will lead us to the same
Realm

2. Royal

Complex, priestess come down
Contact, reach us, go wild
I've chased your name,
I've sailed all through space to watch this.
Come down, teach us the ropes...
Your
Concept it keeps us provoked.
Now remove
Your veil and let me light you up.
I'm on
Your team...
Let's go...
Face to face, light
Stare.
My custom made nightmares.
Armed
With teeth in fashion.
Now all we need is
Action.
Complex, priestess, come down.
Now
Contact, reach us, go wild...
Remove your
Veil,
Let me light you up.
I'm on your team,
I'm the antidote...
The rocket's taking off...
Tonight, it's time...
Take me, I'll light you up.
Take me... up.

3. CMND/CTRL

I can't tell
How's this shit all my fault
It's at the time and
I feel like they should

And I say commands just because I can
Oh I can just imagine the difference it has

Straight out of your mind
You see I'm well aware
You're out of your mind
Its straight

I said your name
It slipped off my tongue
Pointed at the camera laughing at you
Ha ha
Once again
You see no one cares
Its how you wear it, not why it hates

Straight out of your mind
You see I'm well aware
You're out of your mind
Straight out

I can't tell, how's this shit not your fault
Bitch you're barbaricking off this earth
Switching command just because I can
I'd like to see you wear it
Why can't I stare

Switching command just because I can
And if I let my guard down
Who knows one day
Once again
Just because I can
Just because I can

4. You've Seen The Butcher

Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna take you home
And watch the world explode
From underneath your clothes
I want to watch the way
You creep across my skull

You slowly enter
Cause you know my room
And then you crawl your knees up
Before you shake my tomb

I wanna watch you close
I need to see for sure
After the tape is through
Who do you think we can show

I want to watch your world
Creep across the my sky

You slowly enter
Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb

I want to watch your world
Creep across the my sky

You slowly enter
Cause you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb

You enter slowly
You know my room
You crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb

5. Beauty School

I like you when,
when you take off your face
put away all your teeth
and take this weight underneath
cause you could die if you take it alone

I watch you taste it
I see your face
and I know I'm alive
your shooting stars
from the barrel of your eyes
it drive me crazy
just drives me wild

I kinda of like you when
when you make up the rules
take the phone in your room
stop the tape always soon
you could die if you take it alone

I watch you taste it
I see your face
and I know I'm alive
your shooting stars
from the barrel of your eyes
it drive me crazy
it drives me wild

everytime
everytime you try
ride
it's a beautiful ride
why
its a beautiful ride

I watch you taste it
I see your face
and I know I'm alive
your shooting stars
from the barrel of your eyes
it drive me crazy
it drives me wild

6. Prince

I relate to your kind your design
(your devotion to wave)
(get get get get get)
Get your brain on the Prize
Then die INSIDE

[Chorus 1:]
The mindset of a killer
With your mind (out faith)

It's a game that we like, we crave
(yet nobody waves...)
Anyway you decide you try
Then you DIE...

[Chorus 2:]
The mindset of a killer
With your gaze you paint the room
Blood red with your tears
Born from the stains

Hey you can't stop now,row by row,I'm all doubt
Caught by the back day go,No one cares No one knows
Look into the world outside, it's okay I'm alright
Now open the empty land, in comes the bird, in comes the end.

Click the raise the device (get face)
Then clear out the room
Blow kisses wave them goodbye...GOODNIGHT...
Goodnight...[inaudible screaming]...GOODNIGHT

[Chorus 2:]
The mindset of a killer
With your gaze you paint the room
Blood red with your tears
Born from the stains

Hey you can't stop now,row by row,I'm all doubt
Caught by the back day go,No one cares No one knows
Look into the world outside, it's okay I'm alright
Now open the empty land, in comes the bird, in comes the end.

7. Rocket Skates

You're red, soaking wet.
I'm right next to you.
You're red, soaking wet.
Lets writhe, let me see you trip.
One move that will keep you wet.
Lets fall in a long sadistic trance.
Put the keys in our hands.

Guns. Razors. Knives.
(Fuck with me)
Guns. Razors. Knives

You're red soaking wet.
I'm right next to you.
You're red, soaking wet.
Lets sail in this sea of charms.
Lets drown underneath the stars.
Lets drink with our weapons in our hands.
Lets sleep in this trance.

Guns. Razors. Knives.
(Fuck with me)
Guns. Razors. Knives

You're red soaking wet.
I'm right next to you.
You're red soaking wet.

Guns. Razors. Knives.
(Fuck with me)
Guns. Razors. Knives.

You're red soaking wet.
I'm right next to you.
You're red soaking wet.
I'm right next to you.
You're red soaking wet.

8. Sextape

Floating on the water ever changing
Picture hours out from that
Into with all our dreams

The ocean takes me into watch you shaking
Watch you weigh your powers
Tempt with hours of pleasure
Take me one more time
Take me one more wave
Take me for one last ride
I'm out of my head

Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight.. I..
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
Tonight

Cruising through the city after hours
With me fusing all our powers
Here's to all our
Take me one more time
Take me one more wave
Take me for one last ride
I'm out of my head

Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
Tonight

9. Risk

You can't talk
I'm anxious
I'm off the walls
I'm right here just
Come outside
And see it
But pack your heart
You might need it

[Chorus:]
I'll find a way
I'll confuse them
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try for you

You're locked up
You exhaled
You did it before
I seen it
Come outside
And breath in
Relax your arms
And let me in

[Chorus]

I know what to say to take you
Higher, higher
No one else can take you higher
But I will try

[Chorus 2x]

For you

10. 976-evil

For a thousand days
You've been staring away
Are you faint
Are you thinking
Crack a smile and wink
It doesn't scare me away

Hit the brakes
I feel like losing you
To you

So I gaze
In your eyes
And I wonder
Can you take me up
Your hands that I'm under
Come wake me up soon

Take a bow and wave
As we carry away
It was great
But I'm not leaving
Crack a smile and wink
It still doesn't scare me away

Hit the brakes
I feel like losing you, to you

So I gaze in your eyes
And I wonder, can you take me up
Your hands that I'm under
Come wake me up

For a thousand days
We could get carried away
Are you in
Are you in
Are you in(are you in)
(Id give anything)
(Id give anything for you)

So I gaze in your eyes
And I wonder can you take me up
Your hands that I'm under
Come wake
So I gaze in your eyes
And I wonder can you take me up

11. This Place Is Death

You arrive in my dream
Beside me every night
You and me,
We explode through the sea
We try to drain the night empty

No one goes off in every way
Like you do

We got together
We weave our web
Tangled in the waves with you
We spray the scene in red

We both erupt in colors
And carve our names
You keep me aroused
I know you feel the same

You arrive in my dream
Beside me every night
Just you and me,
We explode through the sea
We try to drain the night empty

No one else has a hold over me
Like you do

You open up the covers
You lure me in
Tackle me anxious back into bed
Where I hope to discover all of your ways
This place is death
I know you feel the same

You arrive in my dream
Beside me every night
Just you and me
We explode through the sea
We try to drain the night empty

12. Do You Believe

[bonus track]

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world?
Well, I don't think so
I just don't think so

And do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul?
Well, I sure hope so
Oh, I really, really hope so
But I don't think so

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world?
Well, I don't think so
I just don't think so

And do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul?
Well, I sure hope so
Oh, I really, really hope so
But I don't think so

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Believe...

13. Ghosts

[bonus track]

When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know

Well, I ought to leave
But the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before

Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than the wind

Well, I'm feeling nervous
And now I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there

Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
It comes and goes, but leads nowhere

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before

Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than the wind

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before

Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than the wind
