Machine Head - "Trephination"

(C) 2001 Roadrunner

Lyrics:

used to want to take a
drill to my head
Let the pain out of the hole
I used to want to cut the
veins in my neck
Cool the blood boiling my
soul
When I wondered, why my
daily headaches thundered
Tried to buffer, pushing
down the pain I suffered
Mutilated, feeling so
humiliated
Cannot wash the dirt off
underneath my skin

There was a part of me left
far behind
When at the age of five
years old
I had my innocence taken
from me
Emptiness would fill the
hole
Now a second grader,
thinking why I don't feel
better
Why I'm filthy, why the hell
I feel so guilty
When drawing stick men
of pornographic men and
women
Thinking all the time
there's something wrong
with me

Everyday for three years
from dawn 'til dusk a
migraine
would take me and break me
And it'd cripple me so
much that
In dreams, it'd seem, with
a hole in my temple
that I could probably make
my headaches finally go
away

Trephination
trephination
The enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed

And after three years now
my headaches wear off
For reasons not quite to
me known
The acupuncture needles
sticking my skin
Pushed them down as far
as they'd go
But now I'm older and now
inside my anger smolders
from depression, to fighting
Taking out my vengeance
Consequences, now I'd
question during sex if ...
Is this how it fucking feels
or am I faking it ?

No longer the child that
you left there at the bart
tracks
I'm now at 17, left in an
empty blackness
On drugs, with thugs, and
thinking "Goddamn ?"
I'm ending up in a failure,
in the gutter passed out

Trephination
trephination
This enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed

Now I'm older and in this
man an anger smolders
Now I'm thinking a hole in
you is what I'm seeing
Your depression, is the
dent I kick in you in
vengeance
Consequences are the pain
I'd give to you

I know that I'm dreaming,
but in this dream I go in
go through it, and end it
And though I'd never do it
I'm killing you, hand on
the trigger - pull it
Your final thought'll be a
bullet in your fuckin' head

Trephination
trephination
This enemy inside of me
I'm now killing
to make me free

BS!!! Supercharger kicked ass!!!!!

[cultofdagon]

The Blackening is a great album! Definitely not boring.

@DjinnsD There were no misspellings in my first comment, fuckface. Although you had, "LET FREEDOM RIEGN".... It's ring, asshole. And "UR"? You could at least be intelligent during an argument over YouTube. Age makes no difference; metalheads should know that. It's the heart that counts. And people not being able to accept progression become dull-mindless beings. The 90s came and went man, you need to move the fuck on and stop being so close-minded.

[DjinnsD]

@DethCrusade Firstly, learn to spell you twat. Secondly, i was thrashing machine head when you were still running away from girls and playing in the sand pit. 17, wow! And yeah, you are probably twice the fan i am, good on you buddy, but seeing how i havent liked a single thing MH have released in the past 7 years im really not going to lose any sleep over it. MH changed man, a lot. But so did and have a lot of other bands that i was thrashing when i was your age. CALM UR FARM l..l

[matt11708]

i dont care what anyone says every machine head has good and bad on them all of them this was more nu metal rapcore and they did it better then alot of bands at the time.

[DethCrusade]

@DjinnsD Are you fucking kidding me? Don't come here spreading that, "They were only good during their early thrash era," shit. The Blackening and UTL are both fucking masterpieces. And so are the rest of their albums. Each album brought something different to the table. And shut the fuck up about being 16. I'm 17, but am probably twice the fan you are. It's close minded-fucks like you that stop the spread of musical creativity. "If it's not thrash, it sucks." Shut the fuck up.

[DjinnsD]

The blackening and every album after it sucked... period. Supercharger was the last machine head album i bought and it was the last time i saw them on tour. They're shit and have changed so much since thier orignal albums. Having said that i know a lot of MH fans who didnt listen to Supercharger or any album after it. Are you guys 16 or something? Have you even heard thier original albums? Check em out. LET FREEDOM RIEGN WITH A SHOTGUN BLASSSTTTTT!!!

[BenBrnSmith]

Why do people say this is a bad album, I LOVE IT!

[scootyman10]

@SSj4Gonzas Yep all their music is AWESOME!

[EllaVanDerMort]

My favourite MH album??

I think it's called DISCOGRAPHY

[92robbieb]
