Could you rescue me From a blazing fire in my mind? Even when you were gone You were the only one that could be found I want it clear from here and now, dear We'll be unclear from here on out Heaven help the absentee Only understanding half of anything Cut me once, set me free You'll gain all for yourself I want it clear from here and now, dear We'll be unclear from here on out She smiled and said to me As the blood run from her hair: "If you leave me trailing after If you leave me there to dry If you leave me like you left me If you leave me there to die You will never know my heart Never! You will never know my heart"

Gloria 05:36
Ever had something look up When you thought you're losing it? You can laugh, you can cry, you can spit it out But you know it's coming back again Ever had something fall apart Right when you thought you'd mastered it? You can sink, you can swim, you can choke on it But you know it's coming back again You ever had someone ship out Right when you thought you're making it? "I don't know I don't know I don't want to know I'm never gonna wanna know" You ever found the meaning of down When you're already sinking? "Take it back take it back won't you take it back?" Won't anybody take it back? But is the day going to come? Gloria All that pain is only love The kind of love you'd never scrape away But if you must I won't see it as a fuss If you just know you've got to scream out "What can you say to me that can make me happy?" Gloria We don't know the things you feel Like you don't know you're not alone So when it's true That you're not sure just what to do Let me bring you back to home Gloria, I know You want to tear a hole from here to there But his heart is safe in you On the phone and in the car Wherever it is that you are To live is all that's left to do Gloria, you feel Cuz it will always have been real And you'll never have to let that go So tear at me, give it a shot Give me everything you got Til you know that I've got you Gloria

How you color up my eyes How you swallow all the lies How you know to cut right through How they want to cut you too How they comb your smile All while the fuse inches fast And they fear the games That they've played now that you're in the past And the stillness you've held, yeah The Stretch when you bridge out the gap What do you think it means When I mean to put my foot in the trap? There's a tiger haunting me Did he come to cut me free? There's a tiger wanting me Did he scare you all away? How you slink, yeah, you think to move Even death is just a breath in your room In your groove You burn my soul out and I'm who they blame Mark my words, I'm going to do it again Fuck the pain How you storm the mind I could find at a million degrees How we climb all while That we know that they're burning down the tree But they're gone anyhow What was that you were trying to say? Oh right, you were whispering You want me to blow them all away There's a tiger haunting me Is it come to cut me free? There's a tiger wanting me Did he scare you all away? Then I guess you better run Do I scare you? You better run RUN

I rake my broken cup Against the iron of your embrace As the tears notch up my face This love will be The end of me And you don't give a fuck Story of my whole damn life Story of my luck I swear that there's a hand at work You look at me like I'm insane I give you my heart to clear my name And you just gave it away Yeah you just gave it away Fuck the world And fuck you too I love the world Much more and/or as much as you How do I put it nicely? You make me want to kill myself The time has come already Is it you or is it my health? How do I put it nicely? You make me want to kill myself Let me out Or kill me now This love will be The end of me And you don't give a fuck Story of my whole damn life Story of my luck I swear that there's a hand at work You look at me like I'm insane I give you my heart to clear my name And you just gave it away

about

Jailed Instruments part 2 is an independent hard-rock/grunge album that concerns itself with the themes of death, mental illness, the relationship between art and violence, and the reality of political and economic smothering. It was recorded for very little money with very few resources as a means of exemplifying the resourceful spirit and a refusal to be silenced. Special thanks to my family for the endless support given me in my life, to all my friends who inspired me whether through kindness or brutality, and to the world at large for being the complicated, mixed bag that it is. Keep fighting, guys, but more importantly, keep loving.
