Audioslave and Incubus Lyrics

Audioslave and Incubus are equally great... so here their lyrics are on a page together...

Well I been watchin'
while you been coughin
i've been drinking life
while you been nausous
and so i drink to health
while you kill yourself
and i got just one thing
that i can offer

go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and and save yourself
take it out on me yea

well i'm not a martyr
i'm not a prophet
and i won't preach to you
but heres a caution
you better understand
that i won't hold your hand
but if it helps you mend
then i won't stop it

go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me yea

go if you want
and i'll see you in the bottom
where you crawl
on my skin
and put the blame on me
so you don't feel a thing

go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me yea

2. Show Me How To Live

In with the early dawn
moving right along
i couldn't buy an eye of sleep
and in the aching night
under satellite
i was not recieved
with the stolen parts
a telephone in my heart
someone get me a priest
to put my mind to bed
this ringing in my head
is this a cure is or is this a disease

hey hey i said
near as i can figure
you gave me life now
show me how to live
hey hey i said
near as i can figure
you gave me life now
show me how to live

in the afterbirth
on the quiet earth
let this things remind me
you thought you made amend
you better think again
before my row defines you

hey hey i said
near as i an figure
you gave me life now show me how to live
hey hey i said
near as i can figure
you gave me life now
show me how to live

and in your waiting hands
i will land
and roll out of my skin
and in your final hours i will stand
ready to begin
ready to begin
ready to begin
ready to begin

hey hey i said
near as i can figure
you gave me life now
show me how to live
hey hey i said
near as i can figure
you gave me life now
show me how to live
show me how to live
show me how to live
show me how to live
show me how to live

Houses haunted
i just want to go for a ride
out an on
thought i'd set this room a light
left alone
forever and for crimes unclear
with my patience gone
someone take me far from here

burn that gasoline
yea
burn that gasoline

new day only
another day in solitude
houses honest
clearly more than i can bare
drain me all
before i set my world on fire
i am gone
the sun will never set tonight

burn that gasoline
yea
burn that gasoline

no more forests
only a can on red
says danger on it
i have found another way

burn that gasoline
yea
burn that gasoline
burn it all the way
burn it all the way

when you wanted me i came to you
when you wanted someone else i lived through
when you asked for that i set myself on fire
and if i go
far away
i know you'll find another slave

cause now i'm freed
from what you want
now i'm free
from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are

when you wanted love i cut my veins
and when you wanted love i bled myself again
now all i've had i still love you
i'd give you up forever
and here i go
far away
i know you
you'll find another slave

cause now i'm free
from what you are
now i'm free from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are

than a vision came to me
when you came along
i gave you everything but then you wanted more

cause now i'm free
from what you want
now i'm free
from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are
hey
now i'm free
from what you want
now i'm freed
from what you need
now im free

On a cobweb
afternoon
in a room full of emptyness
by a freeway
i confess i was lost in the pages
of a book
full of death
reading how we'll die alone
and if the good will lay to rest
anywhere we want to go
in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone

and on my death bed
i will prey
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan
to anyone who will take me to heaven
to a place
i would recall
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the world was black
and there you led me on

in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone

in all i read
till the day was gone
and i sat in regret
in all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams till my death
i will wonder on

in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone
alone

he was standing at the rock
gathering the fog
getting there with no directions
and underneath the arch
turned into a march
and there he found a spot to set this freaker on

set if off
set it on my children
set it right
set it off
set it off my children
allright
set it off
set it on my children
set it fire
set it off
set it on my children

suddenly a shot
ripped into his heart
he needed some attention
and there he played his card
going into shock
the last thing that he said was set this freaker off

set if off
set it on my children
set it right
set it off
set it off my children
allright
set it off
set it on my children
set it fire
set it off
set it on my children

alright

alright

jesus at the back door
everything is alright
all we need is some direction
everytime the wind blows
everything you don't know
turns into a revelation
and it all ends up inside your head
time is wasted

set if off
set it on my children
set it right
set it off
set it off my children
allright
set it off
set it on my children
set it fire
set it off
set it on my children

alright

7. Shadow On The Sun

Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
and leave you where you stood
you believed i could
you'd seen it done before
i could read your thoughts
and tell you what you saw
and never say a word
but now that is gone
over with and done
and never to return

i can tell you why
people die alone
i can tell you why
the shadow on the sun

staring at the loss
looking for the cause
and never really sure
nothing but a hole
to live without a soul
and nothing to be learned

i can tell you why
people go insane
i can show you how
you could do the same
i can tell you why
the end will never come
i can tell you on
the shadow on the sun

shapes of every size
move behind my eyes
doors inside my head
bolted from within
every drop of flame
lights a candle in
memory of the one
who lived inside my skin

i can tell you why
people go insane
i can show you how
you could do the same
i can tell you why
the end will never come
i can tell you on
the shadow on the sun

shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
sun
sun

Pearls and swine bereft of me
long and weary my road has been
i was lost in the cities
alone in the hills
no sorrow i feel
for anything i feel yea

i am not your rolling wheels
i am a highway
i am not your carpet ride
i am the sky

friends and liars
don't wait for me
cause i'll get on
all by myself
i've put millions of miles
under my heels
and still too close to you
i feel

i am not your rolling wheels
i am the highway
i am not your carpet ride
i am the sky
i am not your blowing wind
i am the sky here
i am not your autumn moon
i am the night
the night

i am not your rolling wheels
i am the highway
i am not your carpet ride
i am the sky
i am not your blowing wind
i am the lightining
i am not your autumn
i am the night

Met a man locked away
for things he hadn't done
innocence on a ball and chain
never feel the sun
a grin on his face
roses in his hands
but when he smiled at me
i could understand

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

there was a daughter of a man
took his life too young
she swore she'd never do those things
then did just what he'd done
and a boy whose gone insane
voices in his head
no one knows what they say
now his mother's dead

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

cuttin me down
cuttin me down

there was a man who had a face
it looked alot like me
i saw him in the mirror and i fought him in the street
then when he turned away i shot him in the head
then i came to realize i had killed myself

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear

cuttin me down and
cuttin me down

well if you set your mind to fallin
i know that you can
you got everything you wanted
you've done everything you plan
so let me make an offer
i'm only trying to help
you can make your loan just a little longer
all you got to do is share the wealth

oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself

i know you've got problems
i see it in your eyes
but if you want to live to see the morning
leave it up to your brother or you get a surprise

oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself

yea
yea
oh
yea
yea
yea
oh

well it's time to see
you've got to give or your gonna see
hey it's time to see
you've got to give if you wanna believe
you will breathe
it's time to see

(oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself)
(oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself)

11. Bring Em Back Alive

I was on my way
to the center of the sun
when i lost my wings
and i fell into the crowd
and they carried me
to a hole in the ground
and they buried me
where no one can see
and no one would be around

i, i am a virus
i, i live in silence
i...

I was on my way
to a city in the clouds
when i lost my mind
and i had to settle down
then i had a dream
of an island in the sea
where the lepers die
where no one survives
where no one can hear there cries

i, i am a virus
i, i live in silence
i...

just like heathens thinking on our feat
believe in god
we're one step
two step
three steps towards the graveyards
hello to the memory
it seems that we forgot

i, i am a virus
i, i live in silence
i...
i live in silence
silence...

In my hour of need
on the sea of grey
on my knees
i prey to you
help me find the bones of the dying dead

will you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way

the bullet is a man
from time to time he strays
i compare my life to theres
to this i remain
and unwilling to listen to your answers
and i'm not ashamed to tell you i need you today

won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way

and so when i'm lost
and i'm tired and depressed
and when my mind goes astray
won't you light my way
don't save it for another day
don't save it for another day
hey! don't save it for another day
hey! don't save it for another day
hey! don't save it for another day

won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way

The first time i saw you you were
chasin down
a cyclone
all alone in the field
with railyards and clovers i kept rollin on
never thought you'd wind up chasin
me

i settle down
i won't hesitate
to hit the highway
before you leave me to waste no
i'll settle up and i'll help you find something to drive
before you drown yourself

your tired of walkin
and you loathe the ground
the sideway belly touched your feet
black moons to slowly to hold you down
with ring hand you take it out on me

settle down
i won't hesitate to hit the highway
before you leave me to waste
saddle up and i'll help you find something to drive
before you drive me insane

so get yourself a car
drive it all alone
get ourself a car
and ride it on the wind
get yourself a car
and drive it all alone
get yourself a car
and ride it on the wind yea

yea we'll settle down
i won't hesitate to hit the highway
before you leave me to waste
settle up and i'll help you find something to drive
before you drive me insane

get yourself a car
and drive it all alone
get yourself a car
and ride it on the wind
get yourself a car
and drive it all alone
get yourself a car
and ride it on the wind

14. The Last Remaining Light

Roll me on your frozen fields
break my bones to watch them heal
drown me in your thirsty veins
where i watch and i wait
and pray for the rain

curl like smoke
and breathe again
down your throat
inside your ribs
and through your spine
and every nerve
where i watch and i wait
and you too the herd

and if you don't feel me now
sun will rise
still i'm in grief of the coming night
in the last remaining light

seven moons and seven suns
heaven waits for tose who run
down your winter and underneith your waves
when you watch and you wait
and pray for the day

and if you don't believe the sun will rise
stand alone and greet the coming night
and in the last remaining light

and if you don't believe the sun will rise
stand alone and greet the coming night
and in the last remaining light
light
light
light

that a gift could be an enemy

can seem like a chore

but this line isn't going anywhere

maybe if we looked hard enough

we could find a backdoor

(find yourself a backdoor)

i see you in the line

you have my sympathy

the day you were born

that is you privilege

that the man standing in front of me

doesn't have a clue why he's waiting

or what he's waiting for

but i'm sick of wasting energy

maybe if i look in my heart

i could find a backdoor

(find yourself a backdoor)

i see you in the line

dragging your feet

you have my sympathy

the day you were born

you were born free

that is you privilege

2. Nowhere Fast

will i ever get to where i am going

will i ever follow through with what i had planned

i guess it's possible that i have been a bit distracted

and the directions for me are a lot less in demand

will i ever get to where i am going

if i do, will i know when i am there

if the wind blew me in the right direction

would i even care

i would

i take a look around

it's evident the scene has changed

and there are times when i feel improved upon the past

then there are times when i can't seem to understand at all

and yes it seems as though i'm going nowhere...

really friggin fast

3. Consequence

blink and you miss a beat

keep one of your

eyes open at all times

think that you're on the brink

the crap

hasn't even begun to hit the fan

consequence you'll see will be stranger than

a gang of drunken mimes

situation has a stink

better clear the air

before you son becomes a man

blink

everything been augmented

you've been left so far behind

think for sure next time you should wear

a pair of eyes i the back of your head

consequence you've seen has been

stranger that sci-fi of any kind

situation baffles me

i guess it's true you too are one of the walking dead

you better think fast

cause you never know what's comin around

the bend

you better not blink

for consequence is a bigger word than

you think

it's bigger than you or me

4. The Warmth

i'd like to close my eyes and go numb

but there's a cold wind coming from

the top of the highest high-rise today

it's not a breeze cause it's blowing hard

yes and it wants to discard the humanity i know

watch the warmth blow away

do you think i should adhere

to that pressing new frontier

and leave in my wake a trail of fear

or should i hold my head up high

and throw a wrench in spokes by

leaving the air behind me clear

don't let the world bring you down

not everyone here is that fudged up and cold

remember why you came and while you're alive

experience the warmth before you grow old

5. When It Comes

it's coming around again

they're letting it out again, again

it's coming around again

they're letting it out again, again

when it comes

it comes abrupt

when it feels, it feels like trading brains

with an imbecile, for real

yes i feel emphatic about not being static

and not buying philosophies that are sold to me

at a steal

just when you thought it was safe to think

in comes mental piracy

what i'm looking for cannot be sold to me

i wish they all would stop trying

cause what i want and what i need

is and will always be free

it's coming around again

they're letting it out again, again

it's coming around again

they're letting it out again, again

when it comes

it comes unannounced

and it feels like a matador is taunting me with his reddest

red cloth and i am the bull

yes i feel emphatic about not being static

and not eating the bullmonkey thats being fed to me no more

cause now i'm full

just when you thought it was safe to think

in comes mental piracy

what i'm looking for cannot be sold to me

i wish they all would stop trying

cause what i want and what i need

is and will always be free

6. Stellar

meet me in outer space

we could spend the night

watch the earth come up

i've grown tired of that place

won't you come with me

we could start again

how do you do it

make me feel like i do

how do you do it

it's better than i ever knew

meet me in outer space

i will hold you close

if you're afraid of heights

i need you to see this place

it might be the only way

that i can show you how

it feels to be inside of you

how do you do it

make me feel like i do

how do you do it

it's better than i ever knew

you are stellar

7. Make Yourself

if i hadn't made me

i would've been made somehow

if i hadn't assembled myself

i'dve fallen apart by now

if i hadn't made me

i'd be more inclined to bow

powers that be would have swallowed me up

but that's more than i can allow

if you let them make you

they'll make you paper-mache

at a distance you're strong

until the wind comes

then you'll crumble and blow away

if you let them freak you

there will be no foreplay

but rest assured

they'll screw you completely till your @$$ is blue and grey

you should make amends with you

if only for better health

but if you really want to live

why not try and make yourself

if i hadn't made me i'dve fallen apart by now

i won't let them make me

it's more than i can allow

so when i make me

i won't be paper-mache

and if i freak me

i'll freak me in my own way

you should make amends with you

if only for better health

but if you really want to live

why not try and make yourself

make yourself

8. Drive

sometimes i feel the fear of

uncertainty stinging clear

and i can't help but ask

myself how much i'll let the

fear take the wheel

and steer

it's driven me before

and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal

but lately i am beginning to find that

i should be the one behind the wheel

whatever tomorrow brings

i'll be there

with opens arms and open eyes

so if i decide to waiver my chance to be of the hive

will i choose water over wine and hold my own and drive

it's driven me before

and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around

but lately i'm beginnning to find that

when i drive myself my light is found

so whatever tomorrow brings i'll be there

with open arms and open eyes

yeah

would you kill the queen

to crush the hive

would you choose water over wine

hold the wheel and drive

9. Clean

today everything was fine

until roundabout quarter to nine

i suddenly found myself in a bind

was it something i said

something i read

and minifested thats getting you down

don't you dare come to bed with that

ambiguous look in you eye

i'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried

say what you will

say what you mean

you could never offend

you're dirty words come out clean

tomorrow what price will i pay

could i make it all up to you

by serving coffee for two in bed

would you then give me the time of day

i need a map of your head

translated into english

so i can learn to not make you frown

you'd feel better if you'd veny

put your frustrations into four letter words

and then let them out on mine

the most weathered ears in town

say what you mean

so say what you mean

you could never offend

your dirty words come out clean

(instrumental)

11. I Miss You

to see you when i wake up

is a gift i didn't think could be real

to know that you feel the same as i do

is a three fold

utopian dream

you do somethingto me that i can't explain

so would i be out of line if i said

i miss you

i see your picture

i smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine

you have only been gone ten days

but already i'm wasting away

i know i'll see you again

whether far or soon

but i need you to know that i care

and i miss you

12. Pardon Me

a decade ago

i never thought i would be

at 23

on the verge

of spontaneous combustion woe is me

but i guess that it comes

with the territory

an aminous landscape

of neverending calamity

i need you to hear

i need you to see that i have

had all i can take and exploding seems like a definite possibility
to me
so pardon me while i burst into flames.
i've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while i burn, and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me. i'll never be the same.
not, two days ago i was having a look in a book
and i saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
i said i can relate
cause lately i've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
the burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3d
and thinking so much differently
pardon me while I burst into flames.
i've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
pardon me while i burn, and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me. i'll never be the same.
never be the same...yeah.
pardon me while i burst into flames.
pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
so pardon me while i burst into flames.
i've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
so pardon me while i burn, and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me. i'll never be the same.
pardon me, never be the same. yeah
