SPINESHANK LYRICS

1. Intake

Quiet smiles, what you hide
Product of frustration
No regrets for what you feel
Don't pray that it's mistaken

Crawl, starting the machine
Embellish everything that made you want me
Crawl, starting the machine
Regret disgusting thoughts that made you want me

Separate, what you see
Has given sight new meaning
Letting go to use the drug
That's really left you fiening

Crawl, starting the machine
Embellish everything that made you want me
Crawl, starting the machine
Regret disgusting thoughts that made you want me

Open your hand - Close your mind - Now it's real

If you could open up that light socket up in your head, what would you see?
Damn, but it's been closed temporarily
From that it's so sudden, feels like you wanna close
Your muthafucking eyes and take a look in the mirror

Crawl, starting the machine
Embellish everything that made you want me
Crawl, starting the machine
Regret disgusting thoughts that made you want me

Open your hand - Close your mind - Now it's real

2. Stovebolt

Untie me, this peace of mind can't let go
Beside me, the finer things start to show
Divide me into your life
Beat it down and it's lying on the floor

Feel until you're suffering
It's all for real and still you're suffering

I loved you, an inconvenience to me
I warned you because my world you can't see
Adored you, that's what you think
I beat you down and you're lying on the floor

Feel until you're suffering
It's all for real and still you're suffering

It's all for you

Feel until you're suffering
It's all for real and still you're suffering

3. Shinebox

Confide in you, decide it's true

Forced on me and then you don't like it
Forced on me and then you don't like it
Forced on me and then you don't like it
Forced on me and then you don't like it

I break in two because of you

Forced on me and then you don't like it
Forced on me and then you don't like it
Forced on me and then you don't like it
Forced on me and then you don't like it

Seems to be a crime and so you feed it more
Seems to be a crime and so you feed it more
Seems to be a crime and so you feed it more
Seems to be

So sad, what if you don't like it, you don't like it
So sad, what if you don't like it, you don't like it, you lose

You get it

Don't lie to me...

4. Where We Fall

One time feel the restraint take
Disposed, pull my head away
Fall down, reject what's in front of me
But I feed the open intent
Let you relieve it if it's what you needed to achieve it
Slow down, my breath can it feel right
But they tried to question my insight
And I start to blister without
Flowing through my tongue starts to grow

It's now retired - enter me
Come inside my empathy
It's now retired - enter me
Let it go and you will see

Would you fuckin' try to calm down
What else would you put me through
While I watched what happened to you
Now you say I need to put it all away
Your regret keeps me going cause you beat me to it
You tell me how I should feel
Try and stop always changing what you want to see
Can you keep your higher ground when you look straight
Cause where we fall is where we rise

It's now retired - enter me
Come inside my empathy
It's now retired - enter me
Let it go and you will see

Why we fall, I look at myself, I'm feeling small
And now I fall

For all of my life, is this what you sold me?

One time feel the restraint take
Disposed, pull my head away
Fall down, reject what's in front of me
Still I feed the open intent
Let you relieve it if it's what you needed to achieve it
Slow down my breath can it feel right
But they tried to question my insight
And I start to blister without
Flowing through my tongue starts to grow

It's now retired - enter me
Come inside my empathy
It's now retired - enter me
Let it go and you will see

Do I even fucking care?

5. Detached

What do you believe?
Or do you still conceive?
What do you believe?

See what you do to me
You feed off my mind, well then you break my ability
To maintain a 20/20 vision on life
So why not let the pain go...

Detached, crawl inside my head
Open up my mind is all they told me
Detached, and I don't relate to your fantasy
But I'm detached

What do you want from me?
There's nothing left to bleed
What do you want from me?

See what you do to me
You feed off my mind, well then you break my ability
To maintain a 20/20 vision on life
So why not let the pain go...

Detached, crawl inside my head
Open up my mind is all they told me
Detached, and I don't relate to your fantasy
But I'm detached

Away, there's no shame
I can't stop the bleeding

Fall - who killed the lights on me?
Fall - that's how it has to be
Fall - someday you'll come to see
Fall

Don't let it rain, don't let it rain...

Detached, crawl inside my head
Open up my mind is all they told me
Detached, and I don't relate to your fantasy
But I'm detached

Don't you let it rain...

6. Slipper

I've reached this point
With fear my only fuel
I found my faith
With nothing, nothing to do

Run from you...you're binding me in sin
You've got to...

I drowned my left side
With lies I see as real
I push what doesn't move
I keep forgetting what is real

Run from you...you're binding me in sin
You've got to run
I keep on running from you
Keep on fighting me, come on

Slipper
Whore...you fuckin' whore

I've reached this point with fear my only fuel

Run from you...you're binding me in sin
You've got to run
I keep on running from you
Keep on fighting me, come on

Slipper
Whore...you fuckin' whore

7. 40 Below

You don't have to sell

Well it can be only a mistake
Excluding all that seems to be before
Recollecting minds that intake
When I contemplate it gets sore
Prosecution by the minds that make me feel
Have only made me commit that crime
It's been said that it's better to hate than steal
Still we all do time, still we all do time

Sold, no I don't belong to myself
Sold
Well you fucking can't believe
Everyday I run to this place I feel
It's still taking over me

You don't have to sell

If I sold you my life the way it was
Cause that's all he does, he tries to make a sale
Would you speak to me, an excuse to fail
An excuse to fail, it's still sore
Everything couldn't be happening to make me right
Cause my soul has already gone sour
Explain the vision that you still call mine
Now we all do time, now we all do time

Sold, no I don't belong to myself
Sold
Well you fucking can't believe
Everyday I run to this place I feel
It's still taking over me

Crawling, crawling...

You come crawling

Sold, no I don't belong to myself
Sold
Well you fucking can't believe
Everyday I run to this place I feel
It's still taking over me

Crawling, crawling...

You come crawling

8. Strictly Diesel

Conceiving nothing
A precious life with bad intentions
At first it had to breathe
Evolved to gasoline
A strictly diesel-minded soul proves to

Grow and steal
When you try to make us fall, you're starting the machine
Grow and steal
Starting the machine with my scars

You try to direct my sight

Involving something
A greedy world with biased minds
A past repeats itself
We vent until it swells
A strictly diesel-minded soul proves to

Grow and steal
When you try to make us fall, you're starting the machine
Grow and steal
Starting the machine with my scars

You try to direct my sight

Grow and steal
When you try to make us fall, you're starting the machine
Grow and steal
Starting the machine with my scars

You try to direct my sight

9. Grey

Undo this guilt, bathing in filth

Grey that lurks inside of me
Grey, feel I can't take it
Grey that works inside of me
Grey

Slowly I run, hurt me for fun

Grey that lurks inside of me
Grey, feel I can't take it
Grey that works inside of me
Grey

See is all I say - all I see is grey
See is all I say - all I see is grey

Grey...all I see is grey

Undo this guilt, bathing in filth

Grey that lurks inside of me
Grey, feel I can't take it
Grey that works inside of me
Grey

See is all I say - all I see is grey
See is all I say - all I see is grey

All I see is grey...

10. 28

[featuring Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory)]

Don't you realize that it has to be
Why did you do this, consolidate my fear

Face down Save face

Growing out of my face, what it represents I need
Why did you do this, consolidate my fears

It's all inside of me
It's depraved
Grows inside of me
And it suffocates

Don't wish...it won't help

Face down Save face

It's all inside of me
It's depraved
Grows inside of me
And it suffocates

Face down Save face

11. While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

12. If It Breathes

If it breathes -- Choke it

How do I smile this way?
I shed the light but still I rely on
The fear that starts my day
I wonder, I wonder

What has to happen to make you see?
If nothing happens would you feel?
(I've got to take it)

If it breathes -- Choke it

I've stolen this abuse
All I have left is just these scars

What has to happen to make you see?
If nothing happens would you feel?
(I've got to take it)

You grow

Scars

What has to happen to make you see?
If nothing happens would you feel?
(I've got to take it)

You grow

13. Mend

Forgive me for all you've done

If I led your eyes to see
If I fed your mind with sickened thoughts
Would you consciously conceive
Everything that I have offered you?

Shame
Stronger than
Pride
Stronger than
Hate
Stronger than
Life

If I lied to you would you still believe?
Mend your soul from my little fucking game

Forgive me for all you've done

Have I made your life a mess?
Is your soul perverted just like mine?
Inconvenienced by distress
Let it go, there's nowhere left to hide

Shame
Stronger than
Pride
Stronger than
Hate
Stronger than
Life

If I lied to you would you still believe?
Mend your soul from my little fucking game

Stronger than life

14. Stain (Start The Machine)

[featuring Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory)]

Fall in denial of
I break, I give into myself
Control, I break
I cannot be saved again
Before you take all that was to be mine
Give in because everything you taught will become

Burned - in my mind
Burned - redefined
Burned - sterilized
Burned - why?

Stain all the undeserved
Deny, my insight has become
Control, I break
Suffocate inside me
Before you take all that was to be mine
Break it down cause everything you taught will become

Burned - in my mind
Burned - redefined
Burned - sterilized
Burned - why?

Start the machine...
