Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose.
Lie in the darkness, I'm slowly drowned to sleep
nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me.
So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
with nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
Will you be my beloved?
Will you help me to get through?
Will you be my destruction?

Now! Peel the skin back from the flesh. Steal the flesh back from the starving static minds.
From nature we must stray, to clarity we'll climb.
Deadly impulse seems so natural, just look beyond it and we'll find a brand new evolution.
Here begins a brand new line. And in the distance there's a gathering, that no longer seems so far away.
Pushed to our knees so let us pray, and all together we'll bring the real rain.
Watch all that's wasted wash away, so let it come. Our will be done.
Stature retrieved, regain our form. Break free from instinct that's left us all confined.
From nature we must stray to clarity we'll climb. Tradition ingrained, now impermissible.
Now comes a call for all to find a brand new evolution. Here begins a brand new line.
I can't help but fear, look to my species and tremble, to think that God is just...

Forever waiting for disaster,
What David calls servant and master,
Will you play it too?
As this displacement begs for water.
Swimming, bathing.
Drowning in sorrow.
Scream with me.
I crawl across this cracked expansion,
I'll be buried soon.
Beneath the sand with pure intentions.
Wanting something, someone to follow.
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
(here's my lullaby.)
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
(hush now, don't you cry)
I swoon upon my knees come crashing,
Will you bury me?
Today, this small favour I am asking
Hold me, you may drop me tomorrow
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
(here's my lullaby.)
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
(hush now)
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
Here's my lullaby.
Hush now don't you cry.
Calm down.
Come down cold resides with me.
With me.
I flee to, I flee to decemberunderground.
As you exhale, I breathe in and sink into,
The water underground,

Listen when I say,
When I say it's real.
Real life goes undefined,
Why must you be so missable?
Everything you take,
Makes me more unreal.
Real lines are undefined.
How can this be so miserable?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.
Listen I can't make.
Make a sound or feel.
Feel fine I kissed the lies,
Why must they be so kissable?
Listen as I break.
Break the fourth wall's seal.
Gorgeous eyes shine suicide
When will we be invisible?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.
This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Willingly crying.
This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)

This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve,
I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

Watch the stars,
Turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.
Part your lips a bit more,
I'll swallow your fear.
I will show you how.
All the bite marks impress
A need to be here,
A need to see.
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling from nights that
Kiss and Control,
All of our, broken hearts.
Velvet burns,
The wrists while restraining..
You blushed and smiled,
And said you would stay.
One more time seal my breath,
I'll feed you the sky.
I will show you how.
Steal the glamour from death,
And before you die,
Oh, you should see.
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling from nights that
Kiss and Control,
All of our, broken hearts.
Hearrrrrrtssss.
Ourrrrr heartssss.
"We all want to die like movie stars" you said as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor.
While above us glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light in death.
Hold me and tell me,
"We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as the city lights DANCE FOR US!"
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon the pain of our lives,
Reeling from nights that
Kiss and Control,
Fall apart, the pain of our lives, has pain.
Dance and explode.
City lights like rain
City lights sowcress me
Kiss and Control

So I'm feeling much worse now
You're better, you're better
Your designer drug
Won't work, won't work for me.
Connect to a three volt
I hope your battery dies.
How could you run on such, on such voltage?
All the same
I remain
The one you blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)
Love these screams like I do (My! Name!)
As the infinite stops cold
Just nine and the six are gone
Guess I was the one to
Ride that dirty ride
That is turning so fast now
I cannot hold on
But at this pace
Who'd want, who'd want to
All the same
I remain
The one you blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)
Love these screams like I do (My! Name!)
Don't ever speak my name
Don't ever speak my name again
Don't ever speak it
Don't ever speak my name again
Don't speak
Don't speak
DON'T
SPEAK
DON'T SPEAK MY NAME!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)

Walked into our world and made
Horrible sounds.
I can still hear them today
(strangely they seem)
Beautiful now,
though they outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.
Every word.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
I returned to you but found,
My empty home.
The radio told me to stay.
As it burned down
I sang alone.
You will outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.
Every word.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
I have been waiting for you,
Biting as you taught me to.
I have come to relieve you,
Of life and love.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait.
I will wait.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
"I will wait for you"
Wait for you,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you."
So spoke.
So spoke,
Misery.
I will bite straight through.
As I wait for you
Dear,

Every night devise
new heights in genocide.
Lover I am loveless.
All my friends and I
toast health and suicide.
Lover, I am lonely.
Come on!
Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?
Oh, I will be alright...
just use me, just use me.
The future's bright without me.
Spend some time walking the line.
World is unified.
Ennui, and I divide.
Lover, I am loveless.
Red days and burning might bleed
'Til the faceless die
Oh, lover I am lonely.
Were you holding hands when
my wrists bled?
Oh I will be all right...
Just use me, just use me.
The futures bright without me
Spend some time walking the line.
Spend some time walking the line.
So stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless, love.
Stay sweetly numb.
Maintain lifeless love.
Stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless love.
Oh I will be all right...
Just use me, just use me.
The futures bright without me
Spend some time walking the line.

Bring your secrets to me,
Just give me your hands,
And I'll let you feel the wounds.
They put in me.
If you believe in me,
How can I be dissolving?
If you'd believe me,
I'd tell you everything.
Do you fall too?
(everytime that I)
Yes, I fall.
(everytime that I)
Do you want to,
(try to pacify)
Fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
Into me.
Silence can you hear me?
Press me to your lips,
And I'll suck the poison out.
Who will heal me? me..
If you keep killing me,
How can I keep absolving?
Your sins into me,
Begin the poisoning.
Do you fall too?
(everytime that I)
Yes, I fall.
(everytime that I)
Do you want to,
(try to pacify)
Fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
Into me.
Time, time, time,
We're not, waiting.
Time, time, time
We're no one.
unknown. unknown.
Do you fall too?
(everytime that I)
Yes, I fall.
(everytime that I)
Do you want to?
(try to pacify)
Fall into me
(fall into me)
Do you fall too?
(everytime that I)
Yes, I fall.
(everytime that I)
Do you want to,
(try to pacify)
Fall into me
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
Into me.
We are no one.
We are no one.
We are one.
We are no one.
We are,
We are no one.
We are no one.
We are one.
We are no one.
We are,
We are no one.
We are no one.
We are one.
We are no one.
We are,
We are no one.
We are no one.
We are one.
We are no one.

We are no one.

A chilling silence.
A world of violets.
My breath materialized again.
Immaculate.
Inanimate.
A comfort cutting time I see... a string of white lights.
Forever walking through December.
Forever longing for a sign of life, a bringer of light.
Forever wandering together through a world of violets.
Ice everlasting.
A full moon casting a purple veil enshrouding all.
I perambulate, somnambulant.
A solace piercing time I see... a string of white lights.
If only one for night, if only for one night, if only for one night remember.

Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember halloween
Dead Cats hanging from poles
Little Dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
Brown Leafed Vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween
Halloweeeeen
Halloweeeeen
Halloweeeeen
Halloween!
Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles

Walked away, heard them say
"Poison hearts will never change, walk away again"
Turned away in disgrace
Felt the chill upon my face cooling from within
It's hard to notice gleaming from the sky
When you're staring at the cracks
It's hard to notice what is passing by with eyes lowered
You... walked away, heard them say
"Poisoned hearts will never change, walk away again"
All the cracks, they lead right to me
And all the cracks will crawl right through me
All the cracks, they lead right to me
And all the cracks will crawl right through me, and I fell apart
As I... walked away, heard them say
"Poisoned hearts will never change"
Walked away again
Turned away in disgrace

I can remember a place I used to go
Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth
I'd shut my eyes... to see
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones
I knew they would appear... saw not a single one
Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently
I'd make a wish... and bleed
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
I can remember... dreamt them so vividly
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
I can remember when I first realized
Dreams were the only place to see them
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I was wasting away
I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
How could I have become?
I never, never wanted this
But from the start I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this
How could I have become?
I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
I never, never wanted this
But from the start I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this
Inside a crumbling effigy
But you promised
So dies all innocence
But you promised me
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away

As the cries start to penetrate still air, this day we celebrate.
The wait now ends.
From four corners smoke plums into reddened sky.
In the face of latern light, my destiny flies.
This day so hallowed, from here to forever its will I will follow.
Tonight will come to life.
Deadened branches stirred by whispers in the wind.

I'm on the sea so bargain with me, so I can be home once again.
to lose ways, to sing, an odd time of death, to lose and not to win.
Why must I, always have to lose with an easy life?
Why cant I, just pretend to fall asleep? No longing goes through the night.
Caroline was greater for breaking down the set, wanting to find a look.
Can’t remember days, the days we posses, only the day she left.
I see her in the crucifix, my mind begins to slip.
My love had fallen right to a T.
Then I close my eyes and the tears begin to run, the nightmare has just begun.
Why must I always have to lose with an easy life?

I can't think and i can't speak!
My mind is not my own!
Feeling like my will is weak!
Cannot find the strength to go on!
I've battled! i'm fucking battled man!
I've battled! i've battled yeah!
I've battled! i'm fucking battled man!
I've battled! i can't think and i can't speak!
My mind is not my own!
Feeling like my will is weak!
Cannot find the strength to go on!
I've battled! i'm fucking battled man!
I've battled! i've battled yeah!
I've battled! i'm fucking battled man!

Six figures enter; they've come to destroy the world.
They've called together this storm almost every night.
I awake in another place.
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks more unheard words.
What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted.
What new home will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones.
On the way I saw five hours of sleep but your fire makes it all worth while.
On the way I wrote words for you to keep.
On the way, I saw myself.

Through our bleeding, we are one.
Through the darkness breaks the light.
Through the light unending pain.

Lean against the night and laugh as I try to scale the walls.
Ingnored futility fills the air. You're only there to watch me fall...
If only pure sweetness was offered, why's this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath just to exhale, I'd know that I held it in to long...
From above comes a faint smile, a new vantage such a view. Familiarity know disowned.

I have seen the self image they've forced you to reduce to shattered glass,
with the only remaining value lying in its jagged edges.
But the few who warrant waking for await their recognition.
No fear of death but with fear of life, your weakness kills everyone.
So live. Angels for everyone. For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one.
Angels in everyone. What of all their promises? Can't seem to find much more than lies.
Angels in anyone. A permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Open my eyes as I submerge and I won't deny what I've been since birth.
I'll die drowned by your standards.
Breathe in the life of the summmer's death as the orange and red breathe their first breath,
so welcome as they're burning through. We all begin to burn.
Autumn's flame dance's in my eyes Set alight for all we've learned.
My ashes falling. My skin is singed but it heals my heart and with glowing pride I'll wear my scars.
I'm honored by your hatred. Leaves fall we arise again, and the end impending, it will begin.
So welcome as it's burning through. Ashes fall and I'm rising up again.

An invitation excluding no one,
so you walk right in and destroy the fucking place.
you've lost your right to be part of my family.
the family that welcomed you, you joined, and left in disgrace.
your flag was flaming (was flaming), your flag was flaming before it ever started flying.
your flag was burning, was burning down everyone in true salute.
sense of commitment. A sense of pride.
i heard you say that we shared a destiny.
now it is plain to see you've got no sense at all.
the name that once honored you disgraced and made a mockery.
your flag was flaming (was flaming), your flag was flaming before it ever started flying.
your flag was burning, was burning down everyone in true salute.
i could always see... i could always see the smoke from miles away.
i could always see the weakness in your eyes.
far away i feel the lies while the sky is burning.
your flag was flaming (was flaming), your flag was flaming before it ever started flying.
your flag was burning, was burning down everyone in true salute.
you will always be unwanted... unwanted.

Let's admire the pattern forming. Murderous filigree.
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine. Go ascend with ivy, climbing.
Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind. I can't help my laughter as she cries.
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes.
Let's amend the classic story, close it so beautifully, I'll let animosity unwind.
Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully. I'll still feel the violence of the lines.
I can't stand my laughter as they cry. My soul brings tears to angelic eyes.

Welcome the whole new pain and take comfort in what you've become.
I waved as I passed myself along the way.
I have arrived so unashamed but my reflection no longer seems the same.
It seems much dimmer now... it seems so dim. Just stumble and fall into a world that's over crowded.
And you will find me. Won't recognize me; and I won't recognize myself.
I've arrived so unashamed, but all my senses no longer seem the same.
I can sense everything. My sight's so clear.
In an instant, my life just slipped away, I fought for life, the whole time you were holding me down.

Creatures kissing in the rain,
shapeless in the dark again.
In the hanging garden, please don't speak.
In the hanging garden, no one sleeps.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
Catching haloes on the moon,
gives my hands the shapes of angels.
In the heat of the night, the animals scream.
In the heat of the night, walking into a dream...
Fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls.
Jump, jump out of time.
Fall, fall, fall, fall out of the sky.
Cover my face as the animals cry,
in the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
Creatures kissing in the rain,
shapeless in the dark again.
In a hanging garden, change the past.
In a hanging garden, wearing furs and masks...
Fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls.
Jump, jump out of time.
Fall, fall, fall, fall out of the sky.
Cover my face as the animals die.
In the hanging garden.
as the animals die.
Cover my face as the animals die.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.

I have seen ten roses bleed,
seen new petals fall,
I have felt my soul tear.
I have felt nothing at all.
Watched what was vibrant
fade as shadows fall.
I can see it's been done,
all that was pure has been eradicated.
I can see, it's all done.
Nothing can erase the damage done.
I have seen ten liars love,
seen two lovers lie,
seen youth, blinded, smiling.
I have seen deceit handed down.
From the highest height, below the lowly.
I can see it's been done,
all that was pure has been eradicated.
I can see, it's all done.
Nothing can erase the damage done.
I have seen beasts bathed in glory,
tread across the angels as they crawl.
Take it all away.
Regress to nothing.
Can someone please take

Look upon me, I am the beast...
Demonomania, demonomania, demonomania, my father was a wolf.
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania, my mother was a whore.
you check and see we aren't like other wolves.
It's in the blood, I wanna be the fucking savior.
Humans are weak, what else you fucking do?
Humans are weak, I want your blood.
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania, my father was a wolf.
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania, my mother was a whore.
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania, my mother was a whore.

Submission- My back hurts from bowing down.
Attraction - Was once so strong now can't be found.
Affection - One gift i wish you would return.
Frustration - as i accede.
i do not deserve your frigidness, such callousness, yet i persist.
What's wrong with me?
I told you "you can't be replaced", you showed me I'm disposable.

Where were you? Say you were gone?
Well, ask me and I'll swear you were there all along.
Another place? Another state?
At any rate, I can't relate.
There's no two ways, you're a disgrace.
Drown down your fear, suffocate every spark of clarity.
Your weakness: sickens me, saddens me, strengthens me.
There's no way to free responsibility.
Who's to blame? Who's in the wrong?
The truth from which you hide - it was you all along.
You were there, you didn't care,
and your heart and mind were self impaired.

It's gonna take you by surprise as it rises.
Can you feel the pulse?
Can you feel the heat rising from below?
Can you feel the energy gaining strength, oh so slowly?
But i'll wait...i'll wait...till the seasons change.
i'll wait...i'll wait... till the fall comes.
And i'll give you a mirthless laugh.
Can you see the signs?
Can you see the changing of the winds?
Can you sense the stillness in the air?
Calm will remain...oh so shortly.
But i'll wait...till the seasons change.

Just like cellophane, you try to cling so tight to me,
but your attempt's in vain. You've less sincerity than the plastic.
Paper in the rain. The print appears so bright to me.
The words remain. I hold it to the light, I see right through.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
Just when I'm inspired, you drain the drive right outta me,
and even when I'm tired you push me to perform for your amusement.
Just like raging fire, you burn what's left inside of me and to fulfill your desire,
I'd give you light till I burned out.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
Just when you start to smile, I look into your eyes
and see your veiled denial to express any real emotion.
Just wait around a while, you'll lose what you once had for me.
I'll be out of style, I'll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me.

Don't want to think about it, but I see it every day.
Corrupted innocence just doesn't seem to fade away.
Spoiled so young, you know it's bound to last,
but when you're living in the city, you've gotta grow up fast.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
Don't want to think about it, but I see it every day.
If you want to buy affluence, your soul you'll have to pay.
Wasting away the prime of your life,
but it's been done that way for years, so you know it must be all right.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
It's just not right!
Don't wanna think about it, but I see it every day.
With every sip and every shot, mind and bodies fade away.
Friends are all gone, and memories don't last,

When it comes the time that you have recognized your line
and you realize the path that you will travel through your life.
be sure that what you want is exactly what you're trying to get,
or you'll be speeding toward a cliff without realizing that...
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
There are so many choices, the opportunities abound.
Just be sure to keep things straight and be sure to stand your ground.
Let nothing shade your vision, even fight to keep it clear.
Let no one change what's right for you, for when you start to veer.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
Cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.

Bowling is my life and it has always been my dream
to be a member of the local bowling team, but I'm not very good.
The guys won't accept me, I guess I try the girls team
and lose a part of my anatomy then balls will roll.
I think I want to be...
Balls will roll, I think it's time,
it's time for me to be a girl.
It's a very big decision, it's going to change my life.
I'll have to make all new friends, I'm gonna lose my wife.
But that's okay with me. There's something in my soul.
It doesn't matter who's the better man, it the man who gets to bowl.
Balls will roll. I think I want to be...
Balls will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to be a girl.
Go! I've made my decision, I'm gonna make the change.
There will be rolling balls, I'm gonna play my game.
It's gonna be so great. It's gonna be the best,
besides, I've always told myself I look good in a dress.
I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em off.
I'll never have to cough.
Now I've made my change and I've fulfilled my dream.
I'm now a member of the women's bowling team.
I hope I throw a strike, cause I'll never score again.
My first game is tomorrow, I will go to play and then...
Balls will roll. I think I want to be...

What was it I was thinking, or was I even thinking at all?
When I think of what I thought back then, then I'm ashamed,
and I'm appalled that I gave up all I was so easily.
Living your life is not for me.
I won't be sedated, I won't be sedated!
Give me a little taste and I know I won't want more.
I won't be sedated, stability is overrated.
Give me the disorder I adore.
What was it you were thinking, or were you even thinking at all?
When I think of what you thought of me, I take offense,
and I'm appalled that you could discount all I love so easily.
Living your life is not for me.
I won't be sedated, I won't be sedated!
Give me a little taste and I know I won't want more.
I won't be sedated, stability is overrated.
Give me the disorder I adore.
I can't be a part, be a part, I can't be a part.
I can't be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I've gotta be apart, be apart, I've gotta be apart.
I've gotta be apart. I don't grasp the values that you hold.
I can't be a part, be a part, I can't be a part.
I can't be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I've gotta be apart, be apart, I've gotta be apart.
I've gotta be apart. I don't grasp the values that you hold.
I can't be a part, be a part, I can't be a part.
I can't be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I've gotta be apart, be apart, I've gotta be apart.

Yeah I can see it coming.
I've seen it all before.
I've seen it once or twice
and now I hear it call to board.
This train is moving fast
but how long is it gonna last.
I guess that we'll find out
as well go in through the out door.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Is this the start?
Is this the end?
New faces ask, "what's happening?"
I bite my tongue and hold my breath
and tell them, "the same old thing."
I don't know what's going on,
but I don't wanna do it wrong.
Don't wanna contradict myself
with all the words I sing.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Let's go! Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't ever let go.

I'm here today, just like every yesterday.
Heavy heat, and the sheets stick to my skin.
Can't get away from nothingness.
I try to get up, but I have to give into the force that is keeping me down.
I overcome gravity, I look outside.
A cat cries out, trapped upon a window sill,
but its crying's drowned out by my screaming inside.
What will it take? I wonder what it's like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
Sirens moan. They're forever crying... someone's probably dying.
The sound sticks inside my head. Talk to myself, I'm company,
but who is to say if nothing is said?
Two windows stare back at me.
Three stories high and nothing is new.
I may sit, but someday I'll stand.
I'll muster up the will and fire myself through.
What will it take? I wonder what it's like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
What will it take? I wonder what it's like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.

I'll turn you on and switch you right off.
I'll make sure you like what you see.
Forget all that you once believed.
Now you will believe in me.
Do you believe you make the choice, decide what you hold most dear?
In all opinions that you voice, it's my voice that they all hear.
I'll take your ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around.
I'll break you individuality, I'll take you down.
I'll seal shut your open eyes.
I'll give you a taste of the bland.
Intoxicated you take me in.
You'll never feel the touch of my hand.
I'll take your ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around.
I'll break you individuality, I'll take you down.
I'll turn you on and switch you right off. I'll soothe your troubled mind.
You'll never have to think again, it's just a matter of lost time.
I'll take your ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around.
I'll break you individuality, I'll take you down.

There's no hope of helping us, we've only just begun.
We're youth eternal, nothing more to become.
A thousand lights are burning bright.
Give day a darkened light.
Always burning from both ends.
We're proud of reputations we all own.
Together forever. Rejected but never alone.
Together forever.
I'd purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
It's hard for me to comprehend, they couldn't understand
all the thoughts going through our heads.
With a smile they tore us up, now look what we've become.
Finally we are numb. We're proud of reputations we all own.
Together forever. Together forever alone.
Together forever.
I'd purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
I'd purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
No need to. No! No need to feel.
I've got a nothingness and that's all that's real.
No need to cut the numbness inside.
No need to. No! No need to hear.
What you've got to say means nothing at all.
I've got no distance left to fall.
I'd purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.

Every night I walk the streets, awake while everyone else sleeps.
I'm giving unease to anyone I meet.
My generosity can never run out, because I give a gift from what's within myself.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you'll have nothing left.
I can't recall. I can't recall a moment in my life when life was at it's best.
Everyone avoids my stare and no one cares to ever dare to look into the eyes of what they most fear.
And they're taught to fear, to fear no evil.
And they know no fear, they've learned to love themselves.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you'll have nothing left.
I can't recall. I can't recall a moment in my life when life was at it's best.
Forever unlucky, cause I'll own tomorrow. Forever unwanted, outcast today.
I'm not mislead, I've got no one to follow. Everywhere to go, no place to stay.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you'll have nothing left.
I can't recall. I can't recall a moment in my life when life was at it's best.

Hangin' out and lingerin' around, cause you know where
I'll be found and I don't know how you do it.
This obsession I must admit has me shaken up a bit.
My solidarity now only comes in pairs.
I'd like to see you before you see me.
I'd like to see you leave.
Showered by torrential praise, why it is I can't explain.
Attempts to leave yeild no avail.
For me I don't know what's in store.
All I want is nothing more.

Too much to find, so much so little time.
So many images persist to shade my mind.
Will I ever come around or will I just hit the ground?
Will I still be standing when it all comes down?
Why can't I seem to sort it out?
Why am I always filled with doubt
So many people everywhere,
so self-absorbed without a care of their viral lves.
I'd like to bleed them all, when all is drained who shall hold?
When mindless bodies screw tortured souls,
will somebody be there to catch me when I fall?
Why can't I seem to sort it out.
Why am I always filled with doubt.
How could I always be so
blind? Why can't I figure it out?
I could always hope for change, could always hope to rearrange.
But why not just abandon hope

I'm always short on cash and my mind is in the trash,
can't find a way to get my head outta my ass.
I'm gettin' skinny as a bone 'cause I'm always stuck at home,
I'm livin' my life all fucked up and alone.
So once again, alone in my room,
only apparent future is my unhappy and doom.
So I just whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,
whine, whine, whine, all the fuckin' time.
Hooked on bad caffeine, unless I get it I'm mean,
can't remember last when I was chipper and clean.
Goin' insane all I do is complain,
the only traits I show are depression and disdain.
So once again, alone in my room,
only apparent future is my unhappy and doom.
So I just whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,
whine, whine, whine, all the fuckin' time.
The girl I love is going away, there is no way that she'll stay,
don't know how I'm gonna live my life this way.
Don't wanna have to try, I'll just sit around and cry,
maybe if I get lucky, I'll just fuckin' die!
So once again, alone in my room,
only apparent future is my unhappy and doom.
So I just whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,
whine, whine, whine, all the fuckin' time.
And I whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,

I'm always around you to show you that I care, but I don't know what for.
It seems
to me that you couldn't care less so I'm not gonna do it anymore.
I see no reason why I've placed such a value on you,
but my thoughts have changed now,
I've opened my eyes and now I'm through.
Looking back at my short life, the few pleasures that I've found,
all your misconceptions pummel me to the ground.
Now, I look at your small life and it doesn't mean a bit. I pick myself
up off the ground 'cause I don't give a shit.
They say all good things come to an end, I wish this didn't apply.
You were once someone I called my friend but that's all changed now
and I don't know why.
Things are very different now.
You've got nothing to say.

Sleep. I want to stay in bed all throughout the day, no one bother me.
I don't wanna open my eyes.
I'll lie here in my room. I have no need to see.
No one wake me, I just want to stay right bed.
No one move me, I just want to lie right here, right in my warm bed,
because I don't want to see tomorrow.
Here I am so happy, so just leave me be.
I just want to stay.
I do not bother you, so don't you touch me.

Drowned in flames is where I can be found,
my nose broke from being smashed into the ground.
What a waste, this place I call my home.
Escape this place and break out on my own! I'm still reaching.
Try to slap me down, but I'll still
hold. In the fray is where I can be found.
My head is bruised from always being knocked around.
What a fight, this life I call my own!
Escape this life, and break out on my own! I'm still reaching!
Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold.

I live in truth, complacently.
Where's the threat you see in me?
Am I the cause of your self consciousness?
You scream at me
'cause I can't ignore the destructiveness that you support,
'cause my life's contrary to yours.
No soft words from my mouth.
A glazed look in your eyes.
I live in the world of reality, you comfort yourself with lies.
I will release myself, I will detach myself from you.
I will detach myself from your kind.
I've seen your life but I can't see how it is
that you can be so content in your own ignorance.
Its been so dark for so long now a new light has come along,
illuminating all, so shut your eyes.
I won't tell you what you want to hear,

We are the ones with the radiating eyes.
We are the Ones who have a fire inside.
We are the ones only we can recognize.
We've been rejected (we've been rejected)-
Suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness,
been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface.
Turn from the light, that made them all go blind.
We've been protected (we've been protected)
ALL ARISE TO WHAT WE BRING,
OUTSTRETCHED HANDS, UNFOLDED WINGS.
We've hurt ourselves, and I feel the sting of

Again and again they blend into one,
my father the morning pushes through moonlight love.
So what's sleep? Sleep.
I'm tired, so tired, but it seems that there's someone here with me.
We are the wakeful, wry, watchful.
We're awaiting.
Deathless ones.
A story at three with the shrillest of cries.
My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes.
I hear the morning choir sing to me their elegy.
So beautiful.

I may be ten years old but I still know what's up.
I wear my Cramps shirt almost
every single day. I want to sag my pants.
I want to pogo dance, but Mom won't let me so I might just run away.
I wanna ride my skate. I wanna stay out late.
I wanna mohawk but mom won't let me get one.
I wanna go to shows.
Don't wanna pierce my nose.
I wanna get a mohawk but mom won't let me get one.
I may be in fourth grade, but I know what's going on.
I listen to the Misfits almost every single day.
Don't want to take a nap, I want a TV tat,

I wanna be a highschool football hero.
With an S.A.T. score less than zero. I wanna
try to drink my weight in beer-o. I wanna be a highschool football hero.
I wanna score a touchdown so I can score after the game.
I don't care about my future 'cause it is just another day.
I'll rush for forty yards and drink four forties later on. I'm done with
this brunette someone pass me another blonde.
Coach tells me to drink my milk and wash it down with 'roids.
I've gotta get my rest so I can
party with the boys.
My brain is upside-down, so I'm just a little slow.
I'll change my name to

The ends don't always justify the means,
but I know what it takes to get what I
need, I've got the cure when passive protest just won't do...just flick my
Bic as I hold it to the fuse.
Smash it up.
Break it down.
Bring it down, down to the ground.
Tear it up.
Burn it down.
Burn
it down, down to the ground.
How long have we waited for the day when they tighten their grips
and we slip away?
The sound of breaking glass drives me back up.

Right now we're got a reason to live, but it's got nothing to do with you.
We've got a lot of places we're gonna go,
a lot of things that we're gonna do.
In your world we may be no
one, but what makes you think you're someone?
We have got just what we need and we don't need you.
No one.
I can tell where our future lies, and you can tell we've got nothing to hide.
The way things seem to me right now, everything will be just time.
We're gonna do it our way.
We don't need you to darken our day.
We've never given up before and this stand won't be our first time.
No one's gonna tell me, I'm gonna do it my way.

Get up early in the morning, going to the store.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the cereal war.
Fucking store never has the monsters and they never get more.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the cereal war.
I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom in the box.
I'll try some cocoa puffs
today who the fuck is Sonny anyway?
Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more marshmallows than the rest.
There's not a lot of cocoa in Cocoa Krispies, and always stay away from
Wheaties.
Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store.
I had some Erkles, liked 'em a lot. It's
the cereal war.
I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes, and then I could try Sugar Bombs.
The soggies will never get
Cap'n Crunch, I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch.
Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only kind I'll eat.
Give me sugar, not nuts and twigs!

Into the dark is where you're draggin me
and into your dark is where I never want to
be. I know I'm not alone and I really want to leave.
Into the dark is where you want to watch me bleed.
I'm feeling kinda trapped, I gotta go.
I'm feelin' kinda trapped don't you know. I'm feelin
kinda trapped I gotta go.
I gotta go.
I'm being dragged down, for how long, I don't know.
I'm being dragged down and I rise up way
too slow. I know I don't belong here and I think I ought to go.

There's a tear in my heart where the blood ran out.
There's a tear in my heart where the love ran out. I thought
we worked, pushed toward the same ends,
I'll never be so quick to trust again.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.
My faith in you, you poisoned me through and through.
I though we both shared the same injuries.
Now I've found it's you who injures me.
My heart is cracked from being left out in the cold.
I know you'll pay for what you've taken - tenfold.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.

Don't move
Don't do anything
What we captured got away,
slipped from us
Don't speak, don't
don't say anything,
they've been recording all we say
for years now.
You won't see them right away
but you'll hear them singing.
Hold me closely now but don't,
don't say anything.
They've come to take me away
and won't leave until I'm gone
Don't feel
Don't love anything
Love attracts all those who taint, the cherished.
Don't try to
to change anything
Nothing pure can every stay
They'll say
relax, you'll be fine.
All we love goes away
They'll take
all you let them find..

I may be ten years old but I still know what's up.
I wear my Cramps shirt almost
every single day. I want to sag my pants.
I want to pogo dance, but Mom won't let me so I might just run away.
I wanna ride my skate. I wanna stay out late.
I wanna mohawk but mom won't let me get one.
I wanna go to shows.
Don't wanna pierce my nose.
I wanna get a mohawk but mom won't let me get one.
I may be in fourth grade, but I know what's going on.
I listen to the Misfits almost every single day.
Don't want to take a nap, I want a TV tat,

Before you came what was your name? Did you look like me?
No one's from here, no one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name, just keep your face. We're temporary anyway.
Before you came we played this game in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash
we're no fixtures.
Quick, now, Quick take our picture!
What was your past?
When was the last time that you recall someone you knew
was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past. I'm sure you'll find it's in the way all the time.
Before you're through you're someone who looks a lot like you.
We can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.

whoa! i will die screaming! whoa! scream my last breath in useless anguish. tear the sun from the sky. whoa! i will die screaming. whoa! die screaming!

God money i'll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don't want everything he wants it all.
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
God money's not looking for the cure.
God money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure.
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.

Whoa!
I will die screaming!
Whoa!
Scream my last breath in useless anguish.
Tear the sun from the sky.
Whoa!
I will die screaming.
Whoa!

It's the same old situation, it seems it's coming around again.
I won't play the fool, I'm not screwing around.
I only play to win. I only want what I deserve so who are you
trying to kid? You can call it like you see it,
but I call it like it is. I'm sick of shrugging off your petty little ways.
The names are always changing, in the end it's just a game.
We're running in a circle, a never ending chase.
You keep on stepping out of reach, but you never win the race.
No more waiting around, no more hanging around,
no more dragging me down.
Everything's so easy for you,
but I've struggled to get this far. I'm all alone in the fight.
What's wrong, who's right? I take it all to heart.
Your true colors start to show, you call yourself a friend.
The teams are drawn, you chose your side, you'll get yours in the end.
You play along to the same old song just as long as you can win.
When someone better comes along,
you're too cool to let them in.
So now I've got you wondering if I've got it in for you.

Every single notion burned indelibly.
Every motion leaving scars behind.
All sincere emotion received skeptically with no preparation for life eternal.
Every tear that's fallen brings one thousand floods.
Paper cuts are leaving blood behind.
All the silent laughter ringing piercingly.
I blink making my eyes mine.

I might seem a bit peculiar
A bit not right
for though I try, I remain a stranger - not of this time.
I swear I'm almost there
though I've been wandering for days.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I know I'm with strangers I recognize and I realize my own disowned me. Were never mind.
I swear I'm almost there.
This is right where we used to play.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I never will let it go until I find the place I called mine.

Can't accept me for what I am
They'll do whatever they fucking can to make life hell for me
Destroy what I believe
They don't give a shit what they do
They try to stop me, whatever I do
They try to stop me, whatever I do
It means nothing to them
They'll do whatever they fucking can to make life hell for me
Destroy what I believe
They don't give a shit what they do
They try to stop me, whatever I do

I can feel you waiting for me as the sun retreats to the hills and I,
Below the blanket of a burning sky, wrap myself within.
Embraced by dead leaves as the rain leaves trails of black down my face,
And I creep through the twilight to that
hidden place beyond the lonely.
I'll meet you tonight in the whispers when no one's around.
Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found.
Nothing can stop us now.
I can feel you dreaming of me and the time when our steps are retraced
and I creep through the twilight to that hidden place,
beyond the lonely, I'll meet you.
Beneath a dream, lost in a dream tonight.

They're coming 'round again. I've returned and they've been waiting.
Their aged offererings received and returned, passed through wet eyes.
I tremble as I feel them rolling in for, my sins, the old ghosts know.
So chilling as I feel them mourn within my soul. As the mourning grows.
Unfold before me. Turn back the page again.
Twenty four hours spent wishing that the day was never ending.
Shadows of glory shading my heart again.
Recall the summer when I left my heart to cool beneath the shadows I'm coming 'round again.
I've returned and no one's waiting.

we walk the streets, i'm out to get you we bite just a feast of gore and blood we bite carnivores live for pleasure we bite strike out like a wolf's endeavor we bite and when i get your blood i rip your throat your blood i rip your throat i want your blood, i rip your throat to drink some blood we bite, we bite, we bite, we bite and when i get your blood i rip your throat your blood i rip your throat i want your blood, i rip your throat to drink some blood we bite, we bite and when i get your blood i rip your throat your blood i rip your throat i want your blood, i rip your throat to drink some blood we bite, we bite, we bite, we bite

If I had my way I'd wish them away,
but I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best, cause I can give no more,
but your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
If I could heal all the pain that you feel,
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside.
Unfortunately, I have no degree and I can not anesthetize.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
whoa!
I wish that I could help you.
whoa!
I can't even help myself.
whoa!
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not.
right! whoa!
I wish that I could help you.
whoa!
I can't even help myself.
whoa!

Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
who's world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.

What'd you say
When I said we'll be here through tomorrow
In my heart and in my head
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems
I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside
Values here in my heart
And we'll be here through tomorrow
Every day's a brand new start
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems I've never had

I saw you. Angels came to light your path.
I heard you keep their wings pressed under glass.
Now am I so enthralled that I might die?
I saw you, sweetly smile, and say "do try".
(anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(anything)
to see everything that you do.
I saw you so bereft so pale and weak
when I looked through
you and I declined to speak.
I won't say
(anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(anything)
to see everything that you do. I'd do
(anything)
I'll tear out my soul for you, my dear. oh my dear
(anything)
to feel everything as you do. I do
anything
anything... oh
leave me
leave me to grieve that nothing's lost. nothing's lost
leave me
but when you leave me, know nothing's lost. nothing's lost
(anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(anything)
to see everything that you do. I'd do
(anything)
I'll tear out my soul for you, my dear. oh my dear
(anything)

I come quietly. Silent entities
can lack a certain weight when unseen.
Do they speak of me?
My voice left with the breeze that
whispered "you should flee or you shall be seen."
I'd die
if you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
will you pause to break my heart.
I am everywhere, everywhere but here,
for here is where you grace the nameless.
Were I not so weak, could I even speak
I'd warn that you should leave before
you're seen with me.
They don't hear me.
Do I bore them when I tell them

Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you're so exquisite.
And in the mirror, all midnight eyes.
Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit
All midnight eyes, read "vacancy."
Twisting,
twisting.
To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?"
But they never stopped, playing their song.
Of a joyous song they sing, I've heard whispers.
On a freezing note, I resonate.
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end,
just like a memory, it twists me.
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end,
twist.. twisting me.
You land as lightly, as the new snow,
(Cinematic)
onto the melting boy.
(and melt away)
You light as gently, you're so.
(Cinematic)
Bathed in your radiance, I melt.
In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet,
Praying this will never end.
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor,
I realized I never began.
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end,
just like a memory, it twists me.
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end,

Bathed in your radiance, I melt.
All the colors, upon leaving, all will turn to Grey.

Walked away, heard them say, "poison hearts will never change, walk away, again."
Turned away, in disgrace, felt the chill upon my face, cooling from, within.
Hard to notice, gleaming from the sky, when you're staring at, the cracks.
Hard to notice, what is passing by, with eyes lowered.
You, walked away, heard them say, "poison hearts will never change, walk away, again."
All the cracks they lead, right to me.
And, all the cracks, they'll crawl right through me.
All the cracks, they'll lead right to me.
And, all the cracks, they'll crawl right through me.
And I fell apart.
As I, walked away, heard them say, "poison hearts will never change, walk away again."

I can remember, a place I used to go.
Crysanthemums of White, they seemed so beautiful.
I can remember, searched for the Amaranth.
I'd shut my eyes, to see.
Oh how I smiled then, so near the cherrished ones.
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one.
Oh how I smiled then, waiting so patiently.
I'd make a wish, and bleed.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
I can remember, dremt them so vividly.
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me.
I can remember, when I first realized,
dreams were the only place, to see them.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away,
hope was wasting away,
faith was wasting away,
I was wasting away.
Never never wanted this, always wanted to believe, never never wanted this.
(I will not live on)
Never never wanted this, from the start i'd been decieved, never never wanted this.
(I will not live on)
Never never wanted this, always wanted to believe, never never wanted this all.
Never ever wanted this, from the start i'd been decieved, never never wanted this all.
Inside a crumbling effigy.
(But you promised)
So died all innocence.
(But you promised)
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away.
While I waited,
I was wasting away,
hope was wasting away,
faith was wasting away,

Along the path where the stream is talking,
I breathe the mist and continue walking.
The wood it whispers in a language of it's own.
As a sigh escaped my lips,
I feel the light caress of fingertips that,
steal away the breath and leave me on my own.
Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting, I despair)
Waiting, I despair. (Waiting by the stairs)
My whole life is a dark room.
One, big, dark room.
Do I hear the hollow sound,
Footsteps resounding on this frozen ground,
Or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own?
Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting i despair)
Waiting, I despair. (Waiting by the stairs)
Somehow I ended up here in between,
Where there is always the comfort,
Of knowing I'll never be seen.
When I fall
When I fall
I wait for just one touch,
And I fall
Weightless,
Endless,
Faithless, I'll adore you.
A single touch, before I fade. Painless let me pass through.
Weightless,
Endless,
Faithless, I'll adore you.

I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet,
candle wax, and dried up flowers
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling
Beckoning to sleep,
Offering a dream
words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me
I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy
The words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me
I fell into yesterday.
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay.
I fell into fantasy
The girl on the wall always waited for me,
And she was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing
No one could see me
I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away

I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
I'll lay me down, I'll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole

Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said
"Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.
They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with
regret as their own dissipated.
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their
arms around me as I'd fallen."
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.
They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming
regret as their own...

We held hands on the last night of earth. Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves. It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two.

I'm not angry, I'm just amused at your quest for attention through your self abuse.
The only response that you get for your plea is sorely less than sympathy.
What reason is there to be alive? When the word is against you how can you survive?
All your friends are apathetic at best, and your entire life is a total mess.
Give it a fuckin' rest.
You can't, you can't feel me.
I feel I'm scarred so deep.
No one could ever need me.
Could you please leave me alone?
I'm sorry to hear that your world's sinking fast and you've lost your stable ground
and I'm sorry to add to your disappointment, but I won't be brought down.
I'm not angry, I'm just amused at all the dramatics you love to use,
but one thing I have noticed that is strange to me is that not happy unless you're unhappy.
you're not content until you're brought down,
and you're always so alone because you can't be found.
You're soul is black and you're filled with hate.
Home much more can you possibly take?
Give me a fuckin' break.
You can't, you can't feel me.
I feel I'm scarred so deep.
No one could ever need me.
Could you please leave me alone?
You can't, you can't feel me.
I feel I'm scarred so deep.
No one could ever need me.
Could you please leave me alone?
I'm sorry to hear that your world's sinking fast and you've lost your stable ground

[Originally by The White Stripes]
I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood

Hear one thousand screams.
Hear one thousand voices.
A solitary echo.
Feel one thousand pains,
But one is receiving a bloody invitation.
Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life, to taste the life
Do you want taste the life?
To taste the life, to taste the life flow?
Go, Go
Feel one thousand lost,
sinking into soft skin.
Ingest rejuvenation.
One to consume,
One to renew.
Demanded invitation.
Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life, to taste the life
Do you want taste the life?
To taste the life, to taste the life flow?
I offer grace,
I offer blood.
I offer everything till my heart is crystal clear.
I offer grace,
I offer blood.
I offer everything till my heart is crystal clear.
Let me taste the life flow.
Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life, to taste the life
I want to taste the life.
To taste the life, to taste the life flow.

What once did exist, now is meaningless
And doesn't it seem funny, how soon you did forget
how soon you did forget)
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember
Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own
WAS SHED AND WORTHLESS NOW!
What I knew was wrong
One who lived is gone
Guess it was just an echo
When you would sing my song
(ECHO: you would sing my song)
All the notes you'd forgotten now
You left abandoned, I remember
Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self Damnation
All life that I'd own
WAS SHED AND WORTHLESS NOW!
I can
hate myself
more...
more than anyone
WILL YOU JOIN ME!?
I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT THIS
TORTURES ME!
HAVE I CREATED THE SUFFERING!?
SHOW ME!
Or do you happily cut, further in?
to sever what's left inside, that binds me.
Now all i feel is
Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own
WAS SHED AND WORTHLESS NOW!
Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own

I know... It's here we retreat, for where else could we go?
To great disbelief there is somewhere we belong.
In negative space supposed flaws go unseen, but our strength is shown.
In darkness together we're bringing the light. In darkness together we are forming.
The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite.
From all we've been shunned but we found a new home.
To great discontent it is greatness that we own.
In luminous eyes, reflections of fear absolute...
All hate what we've become. In darkness together we're bringing the light.
In darkness together we are forming. The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite.
Through our will we bring fear. Left to burn beneath the sun.
We are one. When daylight forms blinding walls where do we go?
Days arid are scorching all. When daylight forms blinding, binding walls where do we go?

So quickly draining away.
If you could only hear all the things you used to say.
Consumed now by what you knew
was poisonous, quenching your thirst for life (for life.)
Will you die for me?
Will you live for me?
Kill aspirations away.
Embrace a dream that was a nightmare only yesterday.
True friends forgotten and all hopes been traded in,
exchanged for what.
For what?
All at once, all is lost.

Flee today with me and we can hide
Until they want you
Where the strange creatures play
In mystic caves of strength, disassociate
Seal my fate, seal my, seal your
Until they eat their own young
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
This is a lonely war tonight, the soldier's waking
They were the lonely ones, too
Leave your stain and love my wounds tonight
Leave like they all do
Where the strange creatures play
In this game so fake with a reprobate
Seal our fate, seal our, seal your
Till we eat our own young
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
This is a lonely war tonight, the soldier's waking
They were the lonely ones, too
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
This is a lonely war tonight, the soldier's waking
They were the lonely ones, too
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
Are you a lonely one, too? The soldier's waking

You think I give a shit, how I'm seen through your eyes,
I just can't fucking stand the way you always have to criticize.
You have to find something wrong in everything you see.
It seems it's not hard for you to find everything that's wrong with me.
Open your eyes and face the truth.
Open your eyes, the real problem's you.
Does it build your self-esteem to look for mistakes in everyone else?
The only answer that I could find is that you're just not happy with yourself.
You, hide something about yourself when you point out everybody else's mistakes.
Those problems that you have are just a little much for you to take.
Open your eyes, and face the truth.

He said, "Who truly belongs here?"
Not I she said, I'll lie here with you
He knows no one shines forever
They change with the weather
He said, "I've now stayed too long here"
Good bye she said, I'll wait here for you
He knows the winds carry sorrow
As the leaves should follow
They leave tomorrow
Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart that beats
Disguise themselves through him
He'll say that it's nothing new
And swear this is true,
for you, I'll swallow the ocean
I'll swallow the ocean
He said, "Who truly belongs here?"
Not I she said, I'll lie here to you
I know the sorrow is sacred
And I'll never break you
I'll softly save you
Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart that beats
Disguise themselves through him
He'll say that it's nothing new
And swear this is true,
for you, I'll swallow the ocean

There is nothing to me.
There is nothing though there was a time
I had felt elation before all sensation died.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
for you, every vital sign defied.
This means nothing to me.
This means nothing so spare me the lies.
I deny you sympathy just as I have been denied.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been faking,
for you, every sign of life.
I died...
For the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take [x2]
til I made you cry.
This is what you taught me.
This is what you taught and I learned well
to recognize that feeling easily can be dispelled.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been faking,
for you, every sign of life.
I died...
For the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take [x2]
til I made you...
Show your wounds I'm bored with mine.
Nothing is new.
Don't despair I rarely cry.
Oh my dear please dry your eyes.
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised, as I'd love to
For the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take [x2]

Now ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin,
as I go under please tuck me in.
Make me invisible.
This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction.
Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale.
Go kill the lights, we'll glow till morning comes.
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone.
Then we go under.
The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots away.
Today go hungry.
Let it begin.
Make me invincible.
There was a weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping.
Deep within divinity let's star another secret show.
No need to worry it is just another monster.
No need to fear here in the secret show.
No need to worry I am just another monster.

I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxsiate on words I would say
I'm drunk to a blackened sky as I turn blue
There are no flowers, no not this time
There'll be no angels, gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I make believe
Imagine hard, I disappear...seems
No one to love here, here to make leave
There are no flowers, no not this time
There'll be no angels, gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me
I'll tell you how it wants me
I'll tell you how it haunts
I'll tell you how it wants me
You don't get it, it haunts me
There are no flowers, no not this time
There'll be no angels, gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much this hurts me

Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created, those words, that came to life in three,
They were denied by you.
Summer I laid down, below, the glitter adorned night,
And silently sparkled, my own way.
Summer I laid down, by you, and shared my frail light,
You gave the dark to me.
(You gave the dark to me)
I looked inside,
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(This excoriation)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
To find,
(Thrive on)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(This self mutilation)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them one last time.
Summer a morning, so pale, alone when they found me,
As I remained sleeping, I heard them say,
"This summer created, a boy, of abject misery."
He was designed by you.
(He was designed by you)
I looked inside,
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(This excoriation)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
To find,
(Thrive on)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(This self mutilation)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them...
So like a lost child,
I will hide.
(Now the World)
And like lost lie,
I will find.
(Now the World)
Find a way to return to the ones who made me,
Cover your eyes and we'll die together.
Will you cry for me,
Will you cry for me,
Or will you cry with me?
Will you cry for me,
Will you cry for me,
Or will you cry with me?
Will you cry for me,
(I've been a lonely one)
Will you cry for me,
(I've had this whole world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me)
Will you cry for me,
(Am I the only one)
Will you cry for me,
(I've had this world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me, drained from me.)
Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,

I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent
and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me.
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
And I don't want to die tonight; Will you believe in me?
And I don't want to fall into the light.
Will you wish upon?
Will you walk upon me?
I don't want to die tonight.
Will you believe in me tonight.
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?

"One sunny morning
i woke up to see
a bright little blue jay
singing with glee
he sang of far away places
of bright and gay
when suddenly all my sorrow
began to drift away
i walked to the window
on my way out of bed
just to close the shutters
and crush his little head
No, no no, i am not a morning person
(woah woah woah)
i was going upstream in my canoe
then my wheels fell off
i didnt know what to do
then i started wondering
how many pancakes fit in a dog house?
then i remembered the time
when i was stuck on a desert island
and all i had with me was a car door
which made a lot of sense
because if i got hot
all i did was roll down the window
no, no no, im not a desert person

Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him
Simply a look can break your heart
The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down
The stars that mystified
He left them all behind
And how his children cried
He left us all behind
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out without hope
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go
Who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I

Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame... Incinerate
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame
As we all form one dark flame
As we all...
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost

I know something I won't tell, I won't tell, I won't tell, I know something i won't tell.
I'd invite you back to my place
I know its mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me all right
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Another key for my collection
For security I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage you'll never get to know me well
The world's my oyster, a hotel room's a prison cell
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
I'd invite you back to my place
I know its mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks like home to me all right
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

Well I got something to say,
I killed your baby today,
And it, doesn't matter much to me,
as long as it's dead.
Well I got something to say,
I raped your Mother today,
And it, doesn't matter much to me,
as long as she's spread.
Sweet lovely death, i've been waiting for your breath,
oh sweet death, one last caress.
Sweet lovely death, i've been waiting for your breath,
oh sweet death, one last caress.
Well I got something to say,
I killed your baby today,
And it, doesn't matter much to me,
as long as it's dead.
Sweet lovely death, i've been waiting for your breath,
oh sweet death, one last caress.
One last caress sweet death, one last caress sweet death,
Ohh, ohh, whoah, ohh.

We are the ones with the radiating eyes.
We are the Ones who have a fire inside.
We are the ones only we can recognize.
We've been rejected (we've been rejected)-
Suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness,
been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface.
Turn from the light, that made them all go blind.
We've been protected (we've been protected)
ALL ARISE TO WHAT WE BRING,
OUTSTRETCHED HANDS, UNFOLDED WINGS.
We've hurt ourselves, and I feel the sting of

Show me show me show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you
Soft and only
Lost and lonely
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
Soft and only
Lost and lonely

Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been, so
Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
And I know a place
Where no one is likely to pass
You don't care if it's late
And, you don't care if you're lost
And oh, you look so tired
But tonight you presume too much
Too much, too much
And if it's the last thing I ever do
I’m gonna get you
Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse

Wear your tears tonight my dear.
I'd say they truly suit you,
unimpressed and moistly dressed.
I may decide to keep you.
I open my mouth
and drink down the sea.
You'd drown in me.
If savior sleep
would cease to evade.
I'd dream it all away.
I'm caught in the fall,
when I'm awake.
I'd cede my soul to take.
I'm no one at all
and nothing's changed at all.
I open my eyes
To lovers in flames
Praying
sleep will provide
us a cool escape
I'd dream it all away.
I'm caught in the fall,
when I'm awake.
I'd cede my soul to take.
I'm no one at all
and nothing's changed at all.
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my...
I'd dream it all away.
I'm caught in the fall,
when I'm awake.
I'd cede my soul to take.
I'm no one at all
and nothing's changed at all.

I feel it washing, over me,
slow poisonous tide.
Pins and needles, dance on me
sickness undefined.
Now I'm afraid, to face the sky,
please someone hear my haunting cry.
Please let them waken me, please let them waken me,
please let them waken me, please let them waken me.
With eyes sewn shut I still can see, I end up somewhere,
all that is surrounding me, somewhere in between,
Between a dream, I end up somewhere,
and motionless reality, will I forever lie?
I feel it binding, so smoothly,
I see myself below,
I feel it gnawing, eating me,
poisonous and slow.
My mind it speeds, my voice has died,
God let me make the faintest cry.
Please let them waken me, please let them waken me,
please let them waken me, please let them waken me.
With eyes sewn shut I still can see, I end up somewhere,
all that is surrounding me, somewhere between,
Between a dream, I end up somewhere,
and motionless reality, will I forever lie?
Binded by my hands, bind my legs, bind my eyes,
bind my mouth, bind everything.
Opened up, and for the taking,
just one touch and I'll be yours.
Open up, wide for the breaking
just one touch and I'll be yours.
What's on the other side, behind the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break, the static keeping me here in between,
What's on the other, side of the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break, the static keeping me here in between,

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark
For too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I found a love I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Don't change for you

How I regret what I must do but you've left me no choice.
Though I still strain I can't recall the beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the walls a song I've heard many times
I must return all you gave me in the company of swine.
We had found sacred ground you burnt down.
I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.
How I regret what I must do but you must be replaced
for I cannot go on suffering such simple and common tastes.
When you met my eyes you sang to me of passion, pain and will.
When I blinked you turned away to kiss the hand of filth.
You had found sacred ground I'll burn down
Tell me who will hear your voice, your song,
when the smoke has cleared and the lights are gone?

Were you dying to go? You just looked so exposed,
demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows betrayed you and I on that night.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.
As you reached for my hand
did you then understand?
It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show
that I needn't be scared,
either way I still bight.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
this is all for you.
Darling I want to...
So here's the final scene when I finally come clean.
I've watched you for years.
And here's my favorite part, where you beg for my heart
and I disappear.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
this is all for you.
Darling I want to

Will you join me in this dance, this dance of misery
Cradled in imposs... impossibility?
Swooning, I am swept away
Swept off my feet, with step by step by step
We take the lead as drop by drop, we start... to bleed
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Will you lend yourself to beauty that will horrify?
Let me hide within your black, the still inside your eyes
Deafened, caught within a cry
So sensual, as step by step by step, I seperate
As breath to breath, as I... suffocate
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
So who will follow? Who is the lead?
I know I'll leave a stain, because I bleed
As we dance, we all dance
We all... have no chance in this horrid romance
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows

I will never want to date you while I can learn to hate you.
If you somehow learn to love me, well, that's just my luck.
I would never care if you only wanted my friendship,
but somehow you're disappointed that I'm not a slut.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you.
In my mind there is no doubt that you've been in
and out of many different backseats, many times before.
I can always see your defeat when I won't leave the front seat.
And it seems your disappointed that I'm not a whore.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you.

Fuck you very much.
You say you want to be friends, start over, try again?
Well, things will never be the way they were back then.
Things were never how you wanted, I couldn't think of you that way.
Now, if you take one step closer I will take two steps away.
Maybe you need affection,
I'd like to help you but I can't stand when you're around.
Fuck you very much.
Maybe you need to talk, but you betrayed my trust.
Friends was not good enough?
Fuck you very much.
You can always claim you're straight-edge, go ahead and dye your hair.
You won't get more attention from me, cause I will never fucking care.
I try to remain secret, shooting away and hiding out, but you always track me down.
Open your eyes and figure it out.
Maybe you need affection, I'd like to help you but I can't stand when you're around.
Fuck you very much.
Maybe you need to talk, but you betrayed my trust.
Friends was not good enough?
Fuck you very much.
I'm not trying again.
I'm sick of seeing you.
Don't wanna be your friend.
I wish you'd go away.
Fuck you very much.
You say you want to be friends, start over, try again?
Well, things will never be the way they were back then.
Things were never how you wanted, I couldn't think of you that way.
Now, if you take one step closer I will take two steps away.
Maybe you need affection, I'd like to help you but I can't stand when you're around.
Fuck you very much.
Maybe you need to talk, but you betrayed my trust.
Friends was not good enough?
Fuck you very much.

I have slipped and I have fallen so far down I can't get out.
Overwhelmed by my doubt.
Things I said I'd never do I've done.
Those I said I'd never be I've become.
I have broken - I'm still breaking - cracked and wrecked, beyond repair.
I can see that no one cares. Forgotten.
Recalled. Smacks me in the face every time I fall.
I cannot disregard, with each new fall I hit twice as hard.
Would you be there for me? I would.
I would be there for you. I would.
Would you look up to see?

I saw this alone.
The city was aflame.
Did I turn right in or turn away?
Seems I went back home, holed up for a day.
Some say a year passed but that's okay, I'll stay.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Summertime is long.
In God's name who would stay?
God left yesterday but I remain.
So I left my home, took a whole new name.
Blessed be the ghost the fire claims today.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Dissappear..
"Who will sing my name?" So
sang the flame that gave my name. [X3]
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.

I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate
I do implore these confines, now, as they penetrate, "recreate me"
I'm hovering throughout time, I crumble in these days
I crumble, I cannot, I cannot find reflection in these days
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I am destroyed by the inside, I disassociate
I hope to destroy the outside, it will alleviate and elevate me
Like water flowing into lungs, I'm flowing through these days
Like morphine cuts through, through dead end veins, I'm numbing in these days
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I know what died that night, it can never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
I know I died that night and I'll never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) It dies beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces

My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight strangers?
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful Thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Are we running toward death?
I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects at all
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all

why am i this way?
tell me why?
why am i this way?
why?
open wounds in the palms of my hands,
festering through infections time.
I feel so faint as my life spills over you.
back step over glass as I repent.
I fear I cannot prevent myself
from spilling your life all over me.
go! I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
I'm premature in my decay.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Shards of glass swimming in my eyes.
A small voice in the back of my mind
that's whispering words I never want to hear.
I pray that you won't hesitate,
as you watch me degenerate, to reach
in my wounds and extract all of my fear.
yeah! I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
I'm premature in my decay.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I've been choking on my own blood.
My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I've been choking on my own blood.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.

KEY LIME PIE, infatuation that shouldn't exist,
KEY LIME PIE, indulge and I am in your debt.
KEY LIME PIE, inspire me with foolish love,
KEY LIME PIE, your green filling makes me inept.
Flaky crust is what I lust,
your fresh lime scent is a must.
Take me with coffee, never with tea,
you're the pie that pleases me.
People gawk, "Is that pie green?"
Ask for a bite, "Fuck you, i'm mean."
KEY LIME PIE, cheapest hooker I've ever had,
KEY LIME PIE, last slice gleaming, if you're out I'm mad.
KEY LIME PIE, poke fun and laugh and jest,

You keep on sayin' that you want to know me
but you never show me your true self.
How can you ever expect someone else to know you
when all you're going to do is just pretend
you're someone else?
You keep on sayin' that you want to show me that you're really different,
but you're just the same.
If you're really mindless, then there is no way that I can win, maybe
you're just one of them, or maybe it's just a game.
You lie to yourself and remain alone.
I'm not exactly sure of your motivation.
I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do.
All I'm really sure is that you're not too impressive
and you're wearing a mask that I can't see through.
Maybe you're not looking for acceptance,
maybe you're striving for something more.
If it's status that you lust then why try to be one of us?
You're someone we'll never trust 'cause

You keep on sayin' that you want to know me
but you never show me your true self.
How can you ever expect someone else to know you
when all you're going to do is just pretend that you're someone else?
You keep on sayin' that you want to show me
that you're really different, but your just the same.
If you're really mindless then there is no way
that I can win, maybe you're just one of them, or maybe it's just a game.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. Remain alone. I'm not exactly sure of your motivation.
I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do.
All I'm really sure is that you're not too
impressive and you're wearin' a mask that I can't see through.
Maybe you're not looking for acceptance.
Maybe you're striving for something more.
If it's status that you lust then why try to be one of us?
You're someone we'll never trust cause we know the score.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. You remain alone. Oh!

You don't know I am so,
you can not get close to me
and I don't know who you are,
so just leave me alone.
I know you can't believe
the anxiety you're causing me
and I know you can't believe
your fake compassion I don't need.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
who said you could touch me anyway?
Don't try to rub my shoulders
and don't try to hold my hand.
Don't try to give me a fucking hug.
You crawl on me as if I were your very best of friends.
I don't even know your name.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
who said you could touch me anyway?

You've got your pretty face.
You've got disarming eyes.
You've got such social grace.
I've got my pretty spies.
I found you lost, misplaced.
I loved that lovely guise.
I said Id try my luck and you said, well you dont you dont have to try.
I forgot that night, what you said that night: I had the most exquisite time.
Well you got that right, but its not the whole story.
I want it all. I court the loveliest of crimes.
Say it, as if it were true.
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do.
I wanna hear you mean it, when you say Im not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Save it cuz weve got the knife.
You've got your pretty face.
You've got your stunning glow.
You've got exquisite taste.
I've got the marks to show.
You said youd shoot the stars but bullets make you blush.
Turns out, you liked to play.
Play with knives and I hear that it gives you a rush.
Well weve got the knife, yeah weve got the knife.
I've got the knife you left behind. Well weve got the knife.
Now I want the whole story. I thought you looked familiar.
I'd seen your face long before that night.
Now I wait, for you were no stranger.

It burns! It burns! It burns my eyes and throat, but I need no antidote.
Gnawing and tearing at my insides -
seething, keeping me alive - hatred poisons me through and through -
a sustenance - keeping me true. It's not too late.
It's never gonna be too late.
Embrace your hate. The pain! The pain!
The pain it crushes me. I gain animosity. Acid sweat and
bloody tears, through it all I preserve.

Caught in a world that's plagued by something they call love.
A paradigm of illness
is the beast I have become.
The sights that I have seen could nearly bring me to my knees.
I've seen exactlty what it is I never want to be,
But I keep it deep inside myself.
It's within me.
Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me.
Last night I had the misfortune to see it all first hand.
"Evacuate the premises" was the innate first command.
What drives the need for all of this?
And will I ever understand?
Has someone failed to tell me of this master plan?
But I keep it deep inside myself.
It's within me.

No room for doubt
accusations one to ten,
You've got my number boy
you've got my number boy,
No wasting time
now, you've got me dialed,
I'm one hundred eleven
less than perfection
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (keep your disease)
sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease),
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (no shame)
sealed lips will not cease the calling
Pathetic eyes
complimenting what's inside,
I've got your number boy
I've got your number boy,
So appalled
as I watch you purge,
Now see if your fiction
reads salvation
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (keep your disease)
sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease),
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (no shame)
sealed lips will not cease the calling
No room for doubt
no pity is deserved,
You've got my number boy
you've got my number boy,
Coincidence
you've assessed correct,
I'm one hundred eleven
less than perfection
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (keep your disease)
sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease),
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (no shame)

Hope unknown. Sometimes just waking is surreal.
I walk right through the nameless ones.
I know that hope's unknown.
Sometimes the water feels so real.
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning.
This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
The rage I can not let go.
I hear them calling my name.
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls.
So alone. Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones.
I fear that I alone fear those who finally ceased to feel that they're alone
inside this place.
I am the misplaced.
Now every face, it looks familiar...
then every face would melt away until...

Come with us
To the water as we celebrate poolside
Silver lined sons and daughters
Take the big dive
Celebrate before rejection
Before this pool shows our reflection
Too well
Diamond impressions
Lay where we fell
Without discretion
All the questions they'll ask
Were we raised this way?
Such a promising past
Mayday
Go down in glory
What did I tell you, I promised they'd take me too
Down with the heroes before me
What did I tell you, I promised I'd give you a story
Tell me a story
Now look down
From these great heights
Soaring pristine and private
Through the storm
We will cut right
Across the skyline
Celebrate, conjoin with this storm
And radiate
We international wraiths
With hearts we've stolen
Flee but can't keep
A thing that is golden
They say nothing was found
When we hit the ground
Did I forget to say

Here is your lesson for today, you better listen up real fucking good!
My cloud always has a silver lining, and I
love everything that I see.
My world is wonderful and no one could ever, ever hurt me.
My cloud always has a silver lining, and I
love everything that I see.
My world is wonderful and no one could ever, ever hurt me.
You hate yourself, you do,
You hate yourself, you do,
You hate yourself, you do,
That's why, right now I hate you.
So right now I hate you.
My cloud always has a silver lining, and I
love everything that I see.
My world is wonderful and no one could ever, ever hurt me
My cloud always has a silver lining, and I
love everything that I see.
My world is wonderful and no one could ever, ever hurt me
You hate yourself, you do,
You hate yourself you do,
You hate yourself you do.
That's why right now I can't stand you.
So right now I hate you.
Have you learned your lifes lesson yet? No?
Well let me tell you something.
I am your teacher you have a lot to learn from me
you must love yourself
You are my teacher lots to learn from you,
Can’t hurt myself to sit still
That's why, right now I love you...
You hate yourself, you do,
You hate yourself you do,
You hate yourself you do.
That’s why, right now I love you

I cannot leave here, I cannot stay,
Forever haunted, more than afraid.
Asphyxiate on words I would say,
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but i'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me.
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave,
Just like all I loved, I make believe.
Imagine heart, I disappear, seems,
No one will appear, here and make me real.
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but i'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me.
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
(cuts through my day, and sinks into my dreams.)
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
(cuts through my day, and sinks into my dreams.)
You don't care that it haunts me.
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but i'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me.
Just how much this, hurts me.

I've seen the light that emanates from you,
and it makes me feel proud, a voice of reason above the muffling crowds.
Such will to live and you've got so much to give, long lost sincerity.
Lost in a world that's been scorched to black.
Lost in myself until I finally find.
A guide in you, and gratitude is mine, I admire the way you shine.
Stare down the day from which others shield their eyes,
with complete clarity, and no trace of apathy.
So positive, and your heart you freely give, long lost vivacity.
Lost in a world that's been scorched to black.
Lost in myself until I finally find.

Swing through sadness, tears of joy.
Curse the sunlight.
Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness, smoke so coy.
Smile injection.
Serum of a will destroyed.
The seasons change without me.
I remain in shadows growing wings.
The spirit song still surrounds me, in refrain, in shadows growing wings.
Like an angel with two broken wings, reach the sky again.

One at a time, constants become surreal
One at a time, heart attacks are consealed
I can see that I lose the joys of life,
One at a time.
Suicides are revealed
You will see that I lost another life
But tonight
I'll let you tear it up,
If you don't wake me up.
But if you tear it, We can't repair it.
So please don't wake me,
Til someone cares.
Now no one cares.
One at a time, I watch them all forget
One at a time, I'm lost in little deaths.
It's the place that I, I forget my life.
like tonight.
I'll let you tear it up,
If you don't wake me up.
But if you tear it, We can't repair it.
So please don't wake me,
Til someone cares.
Now no one cares
Will the flood behind me,
Put out the fire inside me,
Will the flood behind me,
Put out the fire inside me,
I'll let you tear it up,
I'll let you break it up,
If you don't wake me up.
But if you tear it, We can't repair it.
So please don't wake me,
Til someone cares.
Now no one cares.
Cares,
I'll let you tear it up
If you dont wake me up
Cause its apparent
That you dont care and
It sunk into me
Cause I Don't care

If you can't stand upon the water I will see you on the ocean floor.
When you blink do you only find the misery between the lines?
Then take my hand and walk with me.
Come to me, your sanctuary,
I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted.
If you feel fine, then give it just a little time.
I'm sure you'll contract my disease.
Look what you've done to me now,
You've made me perfect.
Look what you've done to me now.
If you can't stand upon the earth then I see you on the other side.
When you blink do you only find the misery weighs down your eyes?
Then take my hand and sleep with me.
Look what you've done to me now,
You've made me perfect.
Look what you've done to me now.
Take my hand, I'll be everything to you.
Take my hand, I'll take everything from you.
I will seep under your skin.
I will.
I will hold onto your heart.
I will.
Look what you've done to me now,
You've made me perfect.
Look what you've done to me now.
Look what you've done to me now,
You've made me perfect.
Look what you've done to me now.
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?

Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming
Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso
To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully
Now watch as it destroys me
Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo
To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all to die
I saw its birth, I watched it grow
I felt it change me
I took the life, I ate it slow
Now it consumes me
I... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll see
All by myself, I'm alone in such poor company
The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every piece
You'll lovely the eyes have they always shown so vacantly?
The more I show the less you'll want to know
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
(Now I'm on display)
I am becoming
(Hurt myself today)
It's all for you
(Do you like, do you like)
What I'm becoming?
(Cut myself today)
It's all for you
I part the night, flashing, approaching as I watch you flee
Pushed through your panes seems I've landed quite uncomfortably
But as I pass through souls of broken glass
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
(Now I'm on display)
I am becoming
(Hurt myself today)
It's all for you
(Do you like, do you like)
What I'm becoming?
(Cut myself today)
It's all for you
Please don't ask me just what I think, trust me
You don't want to know
Please don't ask me to open up, trust me, trust me
'Cause I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
(Now I'm on display)
I am becoming
(Hurt myself today)
It's all for you
(Do you like, do you like)
What I'm becoming?
(Cut myself today)
It's all for you

Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before.
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face,
But she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
Three A.M. on the city street,
When the air is sweet,
I've had my mouth full.
But it seems that outside the screen
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
You see, they always remember.
They never forget a face.
When they cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up,
Cut cut cut cut cut they remember.
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up.
Cut you uppppppppp.
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
All again.
All again.
It's time again.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Have you ever felt?
Ever felt this way? Tainted with rage you can't
drain away or it will cost you your life. I couldn't care more.
Do you ever absorb what shouldn't be touched? Have you ever
cared? Ever cared this much?
Do you think it is I who is out of touch, or are you too scared to think at all?
I couldn't care more.
As your friends fall does it tear your heart?
Do tears fill your eyes as your world falls apart?
Do you notice at all,

Chickens good for the body, chickens good for the mind, chickens good for the funny bones, chickens easy on the eye.
Yum, yum, chicken bones. Bock, bock Chicken. Yum, yum chicken bones, tell all your friends. Yum, Yum, chicken bones, Bock bock Chicken. Yum, yum chicken bones, tell all your friends.

: "Last night...last night, Mom fainted. I sat there watching,
I sat there waiting, and cringing. And I cried, I cried at the sound, the
sound of whispering white Angels. Oh, where only I seem innocent."
Heartbreak, incarnate, i'm nothing if not your memories.
Your heartbreak please let me be, enjoying your pain.
Some day, I will be, i'll be the common voice for community.
Because I may well forever be, the lonelyness you feel.
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow,
letters of past, so distant and wrinkled.
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow,
letters of past, so distant and wrinkled.
Just say,

That long forgotten song.
Heartbreak, incarnate, i'm nothing if not your memories.

Someday I will be, i'll be that what you want from a failing dream.
Because I may, I may at best, feel as low as you feel.

letters of past, so distant and wrinkled.

Let me be all the words, echo in comfort.

Because I may, will forever be floating as you feel.

Overwhelmed with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly,
now I have come to be the walking enmity.
Assimilate into a culture of post morality, from what I've seen, I hate humanity.
Rot with repulsion. I'll write the world a brand new song.
Look upon your bleak creation,
but is it truly me that's to be the human blasphemy?
I'll set the world on fire and,
in burning light I'll write my first love song and I will feel warmth.
Hide your eyes in heaven, in the lies.
Believe. Relieve. I'll end the world tonight.
Overwhelmed with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly,
now I have come
to be a walking enmity, for humanity,
the human blasphemy,

I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me
As you're longing to sing
So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Cold in life's throws, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throws, I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throws, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throws, I only ask you turn
As they seep... into me, oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me)
Your sins into me... oh
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into...
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me

Don't care to hear what you heard.
I won't believe a single word.
Don't care to hear what you say.
I won't believe it anyway.
You relay fiction, facts you avoid.
You're just like a fucking tabloid,
you can never seem to get your information straight.
Tell me something I don't know.
Your information's fucking faux.
Don't you have somewhere to go?
Your mouth is quick, your mind is slow.
Don't want to know what you know.
I just want you to fucking go.
Don't want to know what you believe.
I just wish that you would leave.
You try to cajz everyday, I wish that you would get away.
You can never seem to get your information straight.
Tell me something I don't know.
Your information's fucking faux.
Don't you have somewhere to go?
Your mouth is quick, your mind is slow.
Go! When you try to hang around,
I'd really like to push you down.
When you try to understand,
I don't really think that you can.
You relay fiction, facts you avoid.
You're just like a fucking tabloid,
you can never seem to get your information straight.
Tell me something I don't know.
Your information's fucking faux.
Don't you have somewhere to go?

I'm never gonna understand this.
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan. It's obsolete.
How could you recognize and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life. Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
As I watch these rash hysterics lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will open and save us from the truth.
They say that they'd leave today
just without, without you.
Is this one big joke?
I can only hope.
Say your prayers, they're the final punchline.
I don't see the love
below or above.
I see you're scared well
I feel fine.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
I feel I have been abandoned.
I alone seem to see disgrace
as I watch these mad dogmatics govern our entire race.
Don't tell them you can walk on water or they may drink your blood.
Why live for pain, in the name
the name of, name of love?
I can only hope
this is in one big joke
with your prayers as the final punch line.
How is it divine
when it's flawed design?
Fill the cracks with faith I can't find.
Screaming for pure love
you venerate
delusion based in hate
Bleeding from pure love
for this I pray:

I gave up fighting.
I've come to see these halos.
Am I now worse off for this one night?
All come enchanted, welcomed by the halos.
All the while we know those enamored never miss us because we are all now in dying days, hear nothing and see no one.
Nothing is all we own.
I've taken to speaking words that only they know.
How soon I did see, all here is unseen.
I gave up trying.
I've come to be these halos and welcome to our show those enamored who won't miss us because we are all now in dying days,
hear nothing and see no one.
Nothing is all we own.
With only echoes proving that I'm here with all the wraiths, for all these years and I have no desire to leave.
Because we are all now in dying days, hear nothing and see no one.

Raise high, monolithic, statues so fragile as they fall.
(I am, ever enthralled)
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well.
('Till fashion is dispelled)
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion,
You're going out, going out forever unknown.
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion.
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown)
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
No life, but nothing's died
No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever knows
All motion is pantomime)
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown)
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion

Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall
I am ever enthralled
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well
'Til fashion is dispelled
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
No life, but nothing's died
No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever knows
All motion is pantomime)
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion

Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created, those words, that came to life in three,
They were denied by you.
Summer I laid down, below, the glitter adorned night,
And silently sparkled, my own way.
Summer I laid down, by you, and shared my frail light,
You gave the dark to me.
I looked inside,
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(To insinuate)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
To find,
(Remain)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(I self mutilate)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them one last time.
Summer a morning, so pale, alone when they found me,
As I remained sleeping, I heard them say,
"This summer created, a boy, of abject misery."
He was designed by you.
(He was designed by you)
I looked inside,
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(To insinuate)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
To find,
(Remain)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(And self mutilate)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them..
So like a lost child,
I will hide.
And like lost lie,
I will find.
Find a way to return to the ones who made me,
Cover your eyes and we'll die together.
Will you fly for me,
Will you fly for me,
Or will you cry with me?
Will you fly for me,
Will you fly for me,
Or will you cry with me?
Will you cry for me,
(I've been a lonely one)
Will you fly for me,
(I've had this whole world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me)
Will you cry for me,
(Am I the only one)
Will you fly for me,
(I've had this world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me, drained from me.)
Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,

I've been dreaming.
I was lucid.
I was dreaming blood was seeping from my pores.
Who'd believe that it was all my own decision?
Cracked faces and medicated smiles.
Set fire to my home before I turned and walked back in.
For every needle open my chest and insert ten pins.
I just anticipate what awaits when I awake... break.
I die in my daydreams.
The gardens have all been overgrown.
I pushed my hand through the thorns to crush the final rose.
A deadly secret only I suffer to know.
I can't eradicate what awaits when I awake... break.

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she's underground
So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
With your life's insanity
Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Sowin' all your wild oats
In another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection call
Baby I'll return the key
Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone
That'll fall in love with you
But oh the time it takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then ya better...
Now you're clean
And so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your whinin'
'Cause we both know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin;

What went down on the side of the road?
What I saw at the edge of the see.
Only those elements time cannot wear,
and they follow.
What seeped out throught the cracks in time,
what sucks out the color in me?
What awaits beyond infinity?
Beyond and to all time I stand.
What blew in with the great gale?
What weighed down the falling leaves?
What came forth from the remains?
What has always lived and gone unseen?
What has caused the night to fall?
Who speaks of eternity?
Who awakes to night eternally?
Beyond and to all time I stand.
DE PROFUNDIS CLAMAVI (Baudelaire)
O my sole love, I pray thee pity me
From out this dark gulf where my poor heart lies,
A baren world hemmed in by leaden skies
Where horror flies at night, and blasphemy.
For half the year the sickly sun is seen,
The other half thick night lies on the land,
A country bleaker than the polar strand;
No beasts, no brooks, nor any shred of green.
There never was a horror which surpassed
This icy sun's cold cruelty, and this vast
Night like primeval Chaos; would I were
Like the dumb brutes, who in a secret lair
Lie wrapt in stupid slumber for a space...

Could I?
Could I just find a way?
I'd find you everyday
and we could alter time
I've come to find
Everyone's gone away
So this may be the time
For the perfect crime
Yes, this is perfect
(This is!)
Our Medicine
(This is!)
Our time to...
Medicate!
Here with me,
Now as we
Lose ourselves to us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate
Come Day
You'll say you cannot stay
What's more I'll feel the same
It happens every time
So, I've come to find
Everyone goes away
I'm destined to remain
You were never mine
So you were perfect
(This is!)
Our medicine
(This is!)
Our time to,
Medicate,
Here with me,
Now as we,
Lose ourselves to us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate
Can you describe what it's like?
I feel nothing
Can you feel this?
Does it sting?
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
(Can you tell me how it feels?)
I feel nothing at all
(Can we pretend this is real?)
I feel nothing
Medicate,
Here with me,
Now as we,
Lose ourselves to us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate
Here with me,
Now as we,
Lose ourselves to us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
Medicate
Here with me,
Now as we,
Lose ourselves to us and ignore
That you don't even know my name
You don't even know my name
You don't even know my name

Warn your warmth to turn away
Here it's December every day
Press your lips to the sculptures and surely you'll stay
Love like winter
For of sugar and ice I am made, I am made
It's in the blood, it's in the blood
I met my love before I was born
He wanted love, I taste of blood
He bit my lip and drank my warmth from years before
From years before
She exhales vanilla lace
I barely dreamt her, yesterday, yesterday
Read the lines of the mirror through the lipstick trace
"Por siempre"
She said, "It seems you're somewhere far away" to his face
It's in the blood, it's in the blood
I met my love before I was born
She wanted love, I taste of blood
She bit my lip and drank my warmth from years before
From years before
Love like winter, oh oh, oh oh
Love like winter, winter, three four
It's in the blood, it's in the blood
I met my love before I was born
He wanted love, I taste of blood
He bit my lip and drank my warmth from years before

You think you've got the looks,
you think you've got the fashion.
You thought you'd have me wanting more,
but don't like my reaction.
You think you're really something.
You're nothing to me now.
You thought you'd keep me coming
without ever thinking how.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
You think you're really special.
You think I think you're best.
You think you're really something?
You're no better than the rest.
You've got everything you wanted.
Don't let yourself be fooled.
You thought that you could play the game,
but I just changed the rules.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
you!
Why do I hate you.
You think you've got the looks,
you think you've got the fashion.
You thought you'd have me wanting more,
but don't like my reaction.
You think you're really something.
You're nothing to me now.
You thought you'd keep me coming
without ever thinking how.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.

It's said and done, there is no turning back.
I've made my choice, now I've gotta face the facts.
Within myself, the hunger won't be subdued,
because I can't have my cake and eat it too.
I'm worn down from fighting with myself.
I'll save my life and lose my mental health.
I'm wigging out, everything is turning round.
A bitter taste-no comfort can be found.
An emptiness wells inside of me, there's no filling the void that will always be.
A self-control is all I have to hold.
It's been too long.
Maybe I have been to bold.
When you're by your own
conviction discipline can be your addiction.
I'm worn down from fighting with myself.
I'll save my life and lose my mental health. I've gone
this far so I'll keep trying.

No trust can be given freely, it's a valuable commodity,
but obviously this is something you've never learned.
Faith is something that you put in friends, and had I excess morals to lend,
I'd let you borrow them, but my trust you haven't earned.
We've got a problem? First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me.
No bond can ever seem to make a stable fit in our relationship,
but one thing that never comes between us is honesty.
When you have something to say, you always seem to find a way to avoid the truth or instead, avoid me.
We've got a problem? First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me.
Straight up is how you'll see me stand, but it is never in your plans to be straight forward,
so instead, you use deceit.
Now I would like to take apart what you've been breaking from the start.
I'll remain intact, I won't be broken in defeat.
We've got a problem? First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me.

I sleep until there is no light.
I'm wide awake all through the night.
Dinner may suck but I'll take a bite, I do whatever I can.
My muscles stiffen through the day.
Discomfort never goes away.
Someone should throw me away. I feel like a garbage can.
Throw me away, I've got no use.
Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I know I know nothing at all.
I'd take a stand, but I know I'd fall.
I'd run head-down into a wall and watch my blood run faster.
Girls laugh and pass me on the street.
I spook out everyone I meet.
I've got pink toenails on my feet, I'm such a fucking master.
Throw me away, I've got no use.
Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I never seem to feel well.
I always seem to look like hell.
It seems like everyone can tell my mind is going numb.
My mom thinks I wear women's clothes.
I get dogged on at all the shows.
It seems that everybody knows I look like a fucking bum.
Throw me away, I've got no use.
Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.

Give me this before
I slip,
before I sink,
because I think
I may have found
the short way down
Just give me something
Somethings cold and clear
the love spent here,
as I had feared,
means nothing dear.
I pray to reason Il forget
Ill trade whats left
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out
Desecrate til we die alone
I will defy
the pulse disguise
but please pretend
were still alive
if it gives you hope
I sung and drowned,
Im taking the short way down
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
Give me something I can take
can take to make the memories fade,
Poison kiss, remember this,
I never was meant for this day
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
we die alone

Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.
I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky.
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star
And said "we never can truly know who we are."
Know who we are.
With the lights out and the night inside
the broken radio was playing suicide.
I felt myself falling.
I confessed to you "I saw a body."
You said you'd seen a few.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning sun
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
Keep the top down use your knees to drive.
I'll hide these words. They're only yours to find.
You pressed your mouth on mine and said they'd call us stars.
Then said "we never can truly know who we are."
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning sun.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun.
Everything was burning bright.
Everyone was frightened.
You said stay strong.
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited
still remains when we're gone.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning sun.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, oh.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning sun.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
I'll bring the gun

Of late it's harder just to go outside
To leave this deadspace with hatred so alive
Writhin' with sickness, thrown into banality
(I decay)
Killed by the weakness, but forced to return
(Turn it)
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dyin'
I feel the fallen stars encircle me, now as they cry
Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes
Posthuman extinction excels unrecognized
Feelin' surrounded, so bored with mortality
(I decay)
All of this hatred is fuckin' real
(Turn it)
Yeah
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dyin'
I feel the fallen stars encircle me, now as they cry
It won't be all right despite what they say
Just watch the stars tonight as they, as they disappear, disintegrate
And I disintegrate 'cause this hate is fuckin' real, ohh
And I hope to shade the world as stars go out and I disintegrate
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]

I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet,
candle wax, and dried up flowers
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling
Beckoning to sleep,
Offering a dream
words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me
I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy
The words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me
I fell into yesterday.
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay.
I fell into fantasy
The girl on the wall always waited for me,
And she was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing
No one could see me
I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away

You've got something to say, or so you say to me, then you receive a blank stare.
You've got something to say of importance and gosh, that's really good to hear.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
You've got some S.P. Something to show to me. Well, I have seen it before.
I can't compete, I can't impress you. I guess I'll show you the door.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.
I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you.

You've seen it all a thousand times (you've seen it all a thousand times),
you've heard it all before (you've heard it all before).
You've danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes.
So passe, too many times, but you're hollow at the core.
Two generations passed you by (two generations passed you by).
You think there's nothing left (you think there's nothing left).
But look around and you will see what our world has grown to be.
We are the now, not the past.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.
You've never seen the likes of us (you've never seen the likes of us).
We are your novelty (we are your novelty).
A brand new trend with mass appeal, don't like the truth, don't like what's real.
You're jumping into something you'll never understand.
You think that it's a passing phase (you think that it's a passing phase).
It's our entire life (it's our entire life).
You revel in rebellious ways, rebellion that the media made.
When you change your channel, we'll smash your t.v.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me.
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be.

Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls
and see if anybody likes the tone or the pain.
The hungry eyes waiting for life flash, now they're gonna see it.
Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe
and see if anyone complains of the stain.
Let's strip you down so we can see you old scars.
Now you're gonna feel it.
Show me how to shine now.
Have you ever turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly; its form was scorned.
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys?
I saw it stay in sovereignty.
Have you lost the sense of touch?
Have you ever turned to dust?
Let's lift you up so we can see how fast
you fall. We always thought that you could fly; now you'll crawl.
The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt, now you're

Speechless
Read the words between your lines
In isolation
Silence separates of what design?
Heard you speak
Words I know you didn’t write
But I believe you, believe them
'Cause you spoke them again in my dreams last night
I swear to you I’m not the one
I swear so I’ll become
Your only desire
Take a bow
You’ve performed exquisitely
Though the millions scream
I know you’ll see
Each subtlety’s understood by me
I would be as devout
As the high school sweetheart
That I never had, I s-s-s-s-s-s-swear!
I swear to you I’m not the one
I swear so I’ll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear that you will be
So lonely [dreaming]
Airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Airs of grace, your airs of grace just kill me
I swear to you, I’m not the one
I swear so I’ll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear you will be
So lonely [dream-like]
Dream-like
Dream-like

Twenty-six years and, seems like i've just begun,
to understand my, my intimate is no one.
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rights?
He cut the cast, the music, and the lights.
This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I ever wake up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(My price to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungrated in dead time, and left me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)
Twenty-six years and, still speaking in these tounges.
Such revelations, went understood by no one.
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear this house, of ill aquired taste.
This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I ever wake up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(My price to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungranted in dead time, and left and me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
Give me, something,
real.
I Lay strewn, across the floor, can't solve this puzzle.
Everyday, another small piece, can't be found.
I lay strewn, across the floor, pieced up in sorrow.
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit,
pieced together incomplete and empty.
This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I ever wake up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(My price to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungrated in dead time, left me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.
(I remain alone.)
This is my life, this is eternal.
(How did I end up here?)
Discarnate, pre-natural.
(These are the prayers to disappear.)
Absent of grace, marked as infernal.
(Ungrated in dead time, and left me disowned.)
To this nature, so unnatural.

No haven now as I watch it pour from everywhere.
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air.
Gentle caresses, just as paper thin -frail and only- lack the strength to hold.
What if could go to sleep for days, would you count the hours,
or would your restlessness consume fading memories of me?
Fall into open arms that offer their protection.
Quick to deny that their open to deceit.
Long to believe that support will never cease. Bitter and lonely, those they've left before.
The vibrant heart so quickly growing old, the warmest eyes so quickly growing cold.

Oh my God! My God this can't be happening!
God tell me, tell me this isn't real!
I can't believe all that I have
foreseen is finally happening.
I cannot for a single second stand the way I feel.
I always knew. I always saw it coming.
Enveloped now, encased by my worst fear.
I've never felt the nausea of longing to feel nothing,
I never wanted to cease to
exist, just disappear. Fear memories are all that lie ahead.
Never have I felt so lost. Memories dull my senses.
Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead.
Never have I felt so dead.
Once felt so warm, now I'm fucking freezing.
I am the once embraced abandoned one.
I raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing;

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base bugs in the software
Flash the message, something's out there
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
(YEAH!DO IT!)
99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by
99 Decision street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by
(YEAH!UH HUH!)
99 knights of the air
Ride super high tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify, and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by Wooo-hoo! Wooo-hoo! Woooo-hooo! Wooooo-hooo!
99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon

This is the final night, boys.
We are the cracks in diamond walls.
I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill.
I'm overshadowed. See how I blend in with nothing?
Now beautiful boys, let's destroy.
We'll shine as the lucite breaks and falls.
Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears - the tears that swallow.
A smile that's touched so warms nothing.
Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.
Still today I have so much to burn.
Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.
Now today I question why I fell.
Deities fell to decoys, tainting what's pure.
Let's cleanse them all.
Infinite life reclaimed, as the shadows kill they are overshadowed.
Well burn as they fade into nothing.
So what can help me to understand, somehow, why it always pains me to breathe?

Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear the house of ill-aquired taste
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real
I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
