I'm amazed how well you handle defeat for a rookie
So lay back and just continue to sleep
We'll come wake you when they're long gone
I solemnly swear to compete in the world
If nothing is ever atoned
Young blood! If given a chance, spit fire!
Young blood! Destroy the old empire!
I'm amazed the way you handle the press, like a veteran
Flies will swarm and bees will crowd for incest
They want to document all your time
I solemnly swear to compete in the world
If nothing is ever atoned
Young blood! If given the chance, spit fire!
Young blood! Destroy the old empire!
Young blood! If given the chance, spit fire!
Young blood! Empires fade, so hold onto the money that
you made!
Long gone,
I solemnly swear to compete in the world
If nothing is ever atoned
Young blood! If given the chance, spit fire!
Young blood! Destroy the old empire!
Young blood! If given the chance, spit fire!
Young blood! If given the choice,
told you so
if you could just let go
let's get this right
let's take our time
let's get this right
now we feel just fine
we got ourselves untied
in this dark hotel
we found a wishing well
and we're prepared for the worst
All the years I placed
Blame, put a crown on my head
I spent days pointing
Out, what my mind was reading
No one will ever tell me why
Because we live the same lie
Unexcused, so we kill ourselves, let go
Gotta pretend I don't know
Look back, pulling mistakes from the past, hold on
To fake inspiration, retrace all the lies you misplaced
Now I know that I'm fucked 'cuz I'm not protected
I realize, I create walls until I feel a purpose
No one will ever tell me why
'Cuz we live the same lie
Self create misdirection without shame
Let go, gotta pretend I don't know
Look back, pulling mistakes from the past, hold on
To fake inspiration, retrace all the lies you misplaced
I can't explain the way it feels
When your heart stops
Everything I thought
Would set me free was just bullshit
I sold myself, I can't breathe
Let go, gotta pretend I don't know
Look back, pulling mistakes from the past hold on
To fake inspiration, retrace all the lies, you misplaced
Baby's got cancer, looking for the answer
She's got cancer, someone romance her
She was one of a kind
Now she's perfected
Living on all the lies they injected
Now she's staring at the scars that needed correction
It's not a habit she claims
She's got American eyes
Letting her body go, she's dead
Rejection, looking for direction
Gimme picture, gimme reception
The clean smell of sin
She's nervous at the hips
The car's right outside and I'm ready to go
Infected, living on all of the lies she injected
Now I'm infected
Staring at the scars in need of correction
It's not a habit, I claim
I got American eyes
Letting my body go, I'm dead
She's got cancer, looking for the answer
She's got cancer, someone romance her
She's one of a kind
We got cancer, looking for the answer
We got cancer, looking for the answer
L.A. lady you always look so uninspired
when you're hanging around
living with creeps and loving with liars
and everybody knows it's true
that all you're ever gonna be is entertainment
so entertain me
you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby
you're barely holding on
L.A. lady I know your feet must be so tired
from standing on a corner stomping out cigarettes like they were fires
the daughter of a thousand men
you've got your mothers eyes and whorish skin
you're a train wreck
but that's entertainment
you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
so throw your skin back in your clothes
and wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
too many lines, one too many times
you're sharing the same vein
with your stage name
but it never quite feels the same
it never quite feels the same
I said, it never quite feels the same
you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
so throw your skin back in your clothes
and wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
too many lines, one too many times
you're sharing the same vein
with your stage name
but it never quite feels the same
somewhere along the way i had to break away
just like a flash of light seen running into the night
i can't quit, i won't stop
i confessed i've always been a mess
and then i woke up in your wedding dress
baby, you know i gotta swing from gallows
cause my head already hangs low
cause these days are so slow
give me an empty canvas
so i can throw it away
cause 26 years on the run ain't no fun
i can't quit i won't stop
no matter what you say or who you do
there's no way in hell i'm coming back to you
baby you know, i gotta swing from gallows
cause my head already hangs low
cause these days are so slow
i don't want romance and i don't need a second chance
i just want out of this fucking quicksand
i gotta burn this wasteland down
because i'm tired of fucking around
baby you know i gotta swing from gallows
cause my head already hangs low cause these days are so slow
i don't want romance and i don't need a second chance
i just want out of this fucking quicksand
lay her rest with violence and a cold encryption
empty casket send her to hell with no prescriptions
glue a mirror to the inside of her empty coffin
so she can stare at her dead face
and follow her new faith home
all the way straight to hell
dark skies, no flowers, no need for visiting hours
lowered in trash and let the goddamn earth
come and search for treasure
cause who's going to love you now that no one can penetrate you
no one can hear you cum
so follow your new faith home
all the way
all the way back to hell
because as far as we can tell
there isn't any way
she has to pay
i'm sorry but it's true
you can't save anyone
from her first love to her bastard son
for all of the things that she's done
dear god i can't wait to finally meet you
you selfish cunt, you've got some explaining to do
cause we only wish we knew
anyway
she has to pay
i'm sorry but it's true
cause you can't save anyone
from her first love to her bastard son
for all of the things that she's done
dear god i can't wait to finally meet you
What's left of California?
What's left of Los Angeles?
Sidewalks cry 'cause they're not as high
Shooting old dope
Rich kid skies are a good disguise
Lining our veins with hope
What did you get for free and where you gonna sell it?
Why should I give a shit cover up your face lift?
What's left of my broken heart what's left of Los Angeles
We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it
Scrape black tar from a guilty lung
Throw a needle in your arm
Cough up wrongs of the city stars
They didn't mean no harm
What were you supposed to be and what did you turn into
We don't even need you here but where you gonna run to
Good drugs, bad streets, arms tied, my world capsized with style
We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it
I got a [Incomprehensible] just leave me alone
I got a new plan, get me outta here
Pretend sincere stumble on words
Desperation the warmth of a gun
Last hundred years, remember twenty four
We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Covered up the old scars so you believe it
We got a new design
Excess redefined so you can dream it
We rewrote the standards
Quiet like an elevator, even the walls are scared
I'm dependent on a generator, just to breathe in air
Medication, medication, signatures and stares
Watching all the lights come down, never wanting to care
These circles seem so strange
I run around and around, but nothing's changed
Medication, medication, signatures and stares
I'm reinventing brand new lives like they were never there
I never want to run out, get more, can't stand waiting
I never want to run out, don't stop the lines from fading
It's time to wake up, I've been asleep for far too long
It's time to wake up before the pain, I feel is gone
Dry the blood, I'm done
Feeling the separation
I'm sick of your dried blood
This is self control
Stop this standard, it never stops
It's not gonna stop
The shame you feel
When you're alone
Tragic, non-stop, wake up
And die, madness, weak will dead
Weight is not the answer
I tried for years just to finalize
I tried to cut the vein
Instead dry the blood
Dry the blood
Separation done
Stops this standard, it never stops
It never stops
The shame you feel
When you're alone
Someone stop the bleeding
Fall in love, alone
Tell me there is a balance
That is self control
Stop this standard, someone stop the bleeding
Addictions I have gone cold
Give me sense of balance
That isn't self control
Can someone stop the bleeding?
Addictions, I control
Someone stop the bleeding
give me inner tension baby, so sweet and slow.
half hearted misdirection, baby where will we go?
slit wrists are the latest fashion, and your sheets see the dirtiest action.
we're independent mammas. broke kids and loveless gutters.
we need a little sunshine baby, we couldn't get much weaker.
with neon lights for brains, here comes our shitty future.
oh yeah i love those neon lights. here comes our shitty future!
slit wrists are the latest fashion, your sheets see the dirtiest action.
we're independent mammas. broke kids and loveless gutters
slit wrists are the latest fashion, your sheets see the dirtiest action.
we're independent mammas. broke kids and loveless gutters
here comes your shitty future,
one more time your shitty future.
YEAH!
slit wrists the latest fashion, your sheets see the dirtiest action.
I believe I'm only human
I will rip and I will ruin
I believe nothing can stop me
No way - no God, no army
I believe my premonition
No desire, no position
No time left for wishful thinking
Cause we're not strong, the clock keeps ticking
I'll try not to look over my shoulder
Cause even the sun gets boring, we need the children's
stories
Everybody wake up, don't say it's over
Be free, be blessed
Get more, give less
I believe I am a target
I believe I'm a target market
I believe the bottle's thinking
I'll never make it
But at least I tried
Cause in the end there's nothing
well everybody i know
has one good chance to die
to be swallowed whole by the big blue empty sky
feel the heavens stare
with a cold hard look in it's eyes
to hear the sound of something awful on the rise
so pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
you know that nobody in this room
wants to hear you cry
and if nobody goes for help
baby you're gonna die
it came and went so fast
you'd almost thought you'd missed
a chance to shake your head and say
how did it come to this
pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by the sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
we sold our souls
does this endless wrecking ball
involve anyone or anything at all
be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
endless get away
confessed to a wall
cause these kind of drinks will make you crawl
beg rip of your face
so be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
because you'll never make the right decisions
with busy hands and blurry vision
mislead you know you won't admit it
you went against your own
she's dead you might have over did it
now you're on your own
the days are long but the nights are longer
and after midnight the drinks can only get stronger
the end it near so we become smoke and we become mirrors
come home with me now
You say that you got the answers
You heard them all on the telephone
And now you're telling everybody
A major coup in the business zone
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And you think you can run and hide what you've done?
Don't you know no one cares after the first million?
Come on!
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
Come on! We got new thoughts, new ideas we're all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
So you think you can run & hide what you've done
don't you know no one cares after the first million
Come on!
It's a shame 'cause not everybody wants to look the same
And not everybody wants to think the same
And not everybody wants to act the same

we should be on our way now
all we want is for someone to ignore us
cause ll we ever get is people who control us
please watch what you say in this conversation
Think fast or you'll never survive.
You feel the whiplash if all the cities divide.
Make heroes that could barely exist.
I'm running from your mouth and the hammer and fist.
Lead the way, I got a brain to resist and define.
All I know is I threw myself into the wind, felt my
body begin to curl.
Maybe in the next life or maybe in another world...
It's impossible to figure out 'cause everything's
subliminal.
Maybe in the next life, I'll be a hero, not a criminal.
A new world on the tip of my tongue;
It doesn't break down or admit when it's wrong.
A day breaks and the cities divide.
My body just can't help feeling incomplete and unknown,
A new ghost in an old home, parallel and paralyzed.
And now that everything's a drag I'm no longer nervous,
I don't feel no pain.
And when I die before my time, please say my body gave
up before my mind.
Another city divides, parallel and paralyzed.
Past lives and other worlds.
When the sick sets through everyone and everything you
knew,
Against these tides of war
I swim until I can't swim anymore
Just like I did the year before
Against oceans of class
I swim until my lungs finally collapse
And I'm at peace with my past
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
This is my sinking ship
And as captain I must finally give in
Because I always knew
I always knew you'd win
Is it wrong to not want to be where you belong
Cause it takes way too long
So drag me to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
Just let me sing myself to sleep
I made my mistakes and now it's time
To make my great escape
Because it takes way too long
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause D don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
Days, you always want to tell me lies
You try to sell me to the stars at night
You think I'm too uptight
Love, you call me on the phone, alone
You wish that I could stay, speaking pain in codes
Telling me you still care through a dial tone
Drugs, you want to put my life on hold
You really want to see me growing old with you
Like a naive friend
But I, I never wanna face myself again
Unless I'm coming true, speaking pain in codes
Telling you that I know I'm no good alone
And I've tried so hard just to be myself
But I've erased everything I was
I tried searching for the truth alone
And I remember everything I've done
I'm thinking everything will turn out fine
But I'm a little kid without a soul
Give me just a little bit more time
Just a little bit
Say what you want to do to me or you
I don't care, right, yeah
I've tried so hard just to be myself
But I've erased everything I was
I tried searching for the truth alone
And I remember everything I've done
And I've erased everything I know
And I'm a little kid without a soul
Give me just a little bit more time
what happens now that it's over
create a new violent type of love
don't lead me to the bridge
don't walk me to the water
i can't control myself from taking
don't lead me to the bridge
don't walk me to the water
i can't control myself
i'll take it all
how'd i get so hollow
you look like you just saw a ghost you knew
it must've said something so believing
no one before could build this type of love
familiar faces can be so deceiving
don't lead me to the bridge
don't walk me to the water
i can't control myself
i'll take it all how'd i get so hollow?
take your love consequence can't catch me
Live for the moment as fast as you can
Before that moment slips right through the palm of your
hand
Punished and permanently home
Held hostage over the phone
Whether you're in for the night
Or in for a minute
You will be buried in it
If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
Middle-east summer here in LA
No explanation and no one can get out of the way
Punish and cherish what is left
Shock and suspense at it's best
Whether you're in for the night
Or in for a minute
You will be buried in it
If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
We are men of many faces, disguises and disgraces
When problems come our way, we just throw them all away
If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master
If I ever get the time to control my laughter
Much to everyone's surprise, I will kill my master

She had to leave, Los Angeles!
All her toys wore out in black and her boys had too,
She started to hate every nigger and jew,
Every mexican that gave her lotta shit
Every homosexual and the idle rich (idle rich)
She had to get out, (get out), get out, (get out), get out, (get out)
She looks confused,
Flying over the dateline,
Her hands turn red.. ..Cause the days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
Change in an instant
She had to leave Los Angeles,
She found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend,
She bought a clock on hollywood boulevard the day she left
It felt sad, (it felt sad), it felt sad!
She had to get out, (get out), get out, (get out), get out, (get out)
She looks confused,
Flying over the dateline,
Her hands turn red.. ..Cause the days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
I wanna be original; I wanna be surrounded by art.
But everything is digital; the formulas are fallin'
apart.
They riot in the streets because there's not enough
money to share.
Is the burden of fame just a universal cross we can't
bare?
But out here on the borderline you've got to hold it
together!
You've been deprived of dedication, you've been
condemned by your dreams.
Is it as bad as it seems?
And can you pull the hook from your mouth?
Do you wanna feel the breeze before the air you breathe
finally runs out?
We're divided it seems.
This is a diary of life in between.
This is a obese and obscene it seems.
This isn't music it's a pyramid scheme.
Oh...
And out here on the borderline you've gotta hold it
together!
You've been deprived of dedication, you've been
condemned by your dreams
And out here on the borderline it feels a lot like
forever!
You'll all be dead if this machine, turns art into
routine.
Thieves have taken the crown, melted it down,
kept an ear to the ground, now they're praying for
sound.
And I don't know what's found.
'Cause we used to be gifted, and persistent.
Now we're bored, reminiscent.
We used to laugh without misery, spoon-fed our desire
We've lost our fire!
And now they won't remember our names.
Our days are mixed in the crowd, and our nights spent
fanning the flames
But out here on the borderline you've gotta hold it
together!
You've been deprived of dedication, you've been
condemned by your dreams.
But oh...out here on the borderline it feels a lot like
forever!
You'll all be dead if this machine, turns art into a
routine.
(Dead and gone, dead and gone)
Thieves have taken the crown.
(Dead and gone, dead and gone)
And have melted it down.
(Dead and gone, we're dead and gone)
Thieves have taken the crown.
(Dead and gone, we're dead and gone)
want to take a chance want to wait but it burns cut me what you want but give me just a little more i already know how it's going to feel to let you go cough me aside put me out like a cigarette but i won't forget i'm not dead i'm not fine feed me lies all of this time spent sitting in my room trying to match with the faceless blood cut me what you want but you give me just a little bit more i'm running out of words so listen up cause here i go i'm not dead i'm not alive feed me truth kill my friends unless they do what i say i need silence i need addiction i need a reason for my sins before i die i'm not dead tell me lies feed me truth come on baby please be true so i put cigarettes in my eyes
If I'm wrong, I don't care
If I'm right, I will be programmed and compared
If I crash, if I fail, I'll be waiting for you deep in
hell
Well it's the loneliest place to go; the loneliest
place to hide
Look at us now, up in the sky! We went and taught
ourselves to fly!
Parasites sell advice and the weak will never trust
what they've become,
they're most safely and perfectly them:
Kissing 'cause they never fight...
They fist and they fuck through the night
Look at them now, up in the sky! They went and taught
themselves to die!
We won't be paragraphed by silence
We won't be hidden by the phone
We may appear sidetracked by violence, we may appear as
barking dogs
Nothing is wrong, we are impossibly strong!
Gather your strength, believe everything you say
Never break down, follow, or blindly obey!
Look at us now, up in your skies! We taught ourselves!
We taught ourselves!
We taught ourselves!
We taught ourselves!
All this time I've been unclean
Watching you 'cause you're watching me
Shotgun knives into my heart without a reason
All I want is to never die
Fuck the beats of a different heart
What I'll do if you never tell
Bleed me an answer
We got chills
I break it down and build again, sit still
Line me up so I can burn
My heart knows you won't return
Make some sense of being alone
'Cause I'm wasted
Blackout rescue from my faults
Take away my sober stare
Pay phone prayer give me what I want
Give me an answer
Trying to stare through you
I can't get past your eyes
Locked to the inside
We got chills
I break it down and build again, sit still
Let me inject
Trying to stare through you
I can't get past your eyes
Sweating through the nights
Again, again, again, watch out they fall
We got chills
I break it down and build again, I sit still
I've got pills, I got chills
Alright!!!!!
I left with shaking hands, looking for danger
Details of modern love, in bed with strangers
And there is no warning, I'm not ignoring
I cut glass on my callused feet,
cause I walk through miles of make shift mud
Motherfuckerâ¦I want your BLOOD!
I got the hands of history's stranglers,
and the midnight sky reflects off my skin
I got the flesh of a million strangersâ¦
your never gonna see meâ¦closing in
YEAHâ¦while you're sleeping!
No need for safe return, is no need for your concern
there is no warning, I'm not ignoring
I follow you across the county lines
And these beads of sweat feel like a flood
You motherfuckerâ¦â¦I want your BLOOD!
I got the hands of history's stranglers,
and the midnight sky reflects off my skin
I got the flesh of a million strangersâ¦
your never going to see me closing inâ¦
your never going to see me closing inâ¦â¦
while you're sleeping!
I'm done telling you that I'm in love
What I have will never be enough
Come on baby, go live life on your own
Everything inside is breaking down
And you don't want to be hanging around
I don't think I want to leave myself alone
I'm done having to apologize
I'm done living inside your eyes
When the lights go out what's left to know
Nothing ever makes sense to me
A broken branch of the family tree
I kill the lights, now baby, watch me explode
There is no revolution
And I'm done doing things I don't want to do
There is no restitution
And I'm done
I'm done living in this decline
I'm done watching you redesign
Come on baby, let's go walk out the door
I'm done showing up to the fucking work
Taking orders from a fucking bitch
I'm in the chair now go ahead and flip the switch
I'm done doing things I don't want to do
And I'm sick and tired of setting up to be like you
Fucked up, thrown out and overdue
I'm fucking done
There is no revolution
There is no revolution
I don't know where I should begin
My scars have overrun my skin
Frustrations taken all my patience
Exposing everything inside
The more time that I spend alone is
The more time that I hate myself
It's one thing not to finish in the first place
Another thing not to finish at all
I can't stand here and listen to bullshit
And everything you own
Can't stand, 'cos I live alone
Watching shadows fall
I don't know where I fell apart
It wasn't always like this from the start
Frustrations taken all my patience
I feel the walls closing again
Each day, I try to find another way
My brain's a gun without bullets
So sad, I can't replace the drive I had
With blood
I don't know where I should begin
My scars have overrun my skin
Leaches on to everything inside
I search for a darker place to hide
Right now, I've lost complete control
[Incomprehensible]
Frustration stole my dedication
Rip my solid state apart
Each day, I try to find another way
My brain's a gun without bullets
So sad, I can't replace the drive I had
With my own blood
My brain's a gun
My brains are gone
My brain's a gun
Yeah, I don't think I'm alive
Dead footsteps, another outcast screaming alone
God help me, give me what you want
Give me what you need, I'll take it all
Stand fall, lost out, baby, yes I know
It's not a secret, a false alarm
Another front page
Lie disguised to help me burn
Another year of research stand still
Turn on the lights, baby, show me your scars
Salvation, give me audio give me visual overload
So slow, lost out, baby, yes I know
Yeah, everyone is suspect
Everyone deserts sometimes
Another loss, I'm feeling alone
It's not a secret a false alarm
It's not a secret, it's not a sad song
Another front page lie disguised to help me burn
Enemy mind
Take my dead hand
And restore my heart
Nothing is free
But you're perfect for me
Can you make me smart?
Wired, you're so wired
Tired, I'm so tired
Enemy mind
Take my dead mind
And turn back time
Please prey on my wealth
Keep some for yourself
Cause the blame's all mine
Enemy mind, (let me speak my) enemy mind
Enemy mind
Make your last dance
Disguise your flaws
Cover your tracks
So when history looks back
We only hear applause
Out of the way, he's got something to say
Fire, there's so much fire
Staring, I can't stop staring
One mind pulled
i never wanted to admit to this but my love wasn't true
i rescue the lonely because i'm lonely too
and the way you smile the way you laugh
reminds me of myself
before i fell apart like a drug infected heart
all along in a city by the sea
dirty leaves fall around
all alone and suddenly it seems
dirty leaves fall for you and me
i never wanted your heart to break
but we still knew it would
impossible to save
but did when i could
i replaced your tears your loneliness with cigarettes and wine
but you needed more and we ran out of time
now your love is gone
all all alone in the city by the sea
dirty leaves fall all around
and suddenly it seems
dirty leaves fall for you and me
and once again i'm torn between saving you or saving me
that's why i begged you not to stay
any longer than you should
because i always knew you would
and now it builds more every day
until you're just an object in my way
choking on the words i never wanted you to say
all all alone in the city by the sea
dirty leaves fall all around
and suddenly it seems
Say enough words to make me forget
Until I get dangerous and desperate
I love it when I'm telling myself lies
The good ones that I know I can cash
Stare at my face until I neglect
Everything I couldn't forgive
Look at the way you make me
Live choking like a fucking kid
I rejected faith, I broke a good heart
And I regret love because you told me
I still don't care, I wasn't meant to cover up scars
Built on faults
To who it concerns consider this
I tried all your cures but I'm still sick
I'm never going to regain senses
I burn another hole in my head
Remember the disease you spread
Like addiction that comes in fits
I rejected faith, I broke a good heart
And I regret love because you told me
I still don't care, I wasn't meant to cover up scars
Built on faults
Talk enough words to make me forget
All my dreams are dead
Disguise lack of progress
Quit sending me signals for chemicals
Everything I crave is going to kill me
Don't want to be sick
Depression just seems to stick
I rejected faith, I broke a good heart
And I regret love because you told me
I still don't care, I wasn't meant to cover up scars
She liked my drugs, I liked her hair
She's like a God 'cuz she don't care
She had to watch her little brother die
What a great disguise, skies are falling
So, you paint your picture, well you can paint one thousand
Because it makes no difference vicariously we crave disease
I don't love you, you wish I did, skies are falling
So, you paint your pictures, well you can paint a thousand
Because it makes no difference, an overdose bleeding our your nose
My heart is lost, baptized in my hate bats
The way you make me chase belief you scream poem into my ear
So, insincere cut off my ears, skies are falling
So, you paint your pictures, you can paint one thousand
give it a rest and then try it again with more soul
until you learn that clearing your heads'
the same as losing control in this space
don't let it drive you crazy
don't let it drive you insane there's no point
because you just keep turning us on and turning us off
and on and off and on
until we're light as a feather and we're stiff as a board
light as a feather and we're stiff as a board
give it a break cause if you try it again you'll get bored
because you don't really know where it starts
but you know that it ends with no friends
cause even this is a test and i'm sorry if it breaks your bubble
but you still need some rest because it's gonna go
it's gonna go
on and on and on, on and on and on, on and on and on
until it hurts
we will go
on and on and on, on and on and on, on and and on
until it hurts
keep turning us on, and turning us off
Not enough, not enough
I will never be another dead love, another vice
Show me what lies can teach me
Another reason for a rusted heart
Another reason time stands alone
Another reason for blank affection
Couldn't stand to be sad alone
I shouldn't have another pain prescription
But I'm not gonna turn it down
A young voice in a desperate scream
Creates substance that I need from you
All this is just a way for you
To push out pain, push it out on me
It's all this is just therapy for you
That's all this is
I'm not enough, I'm not enough
I never will be another vice
Another lie, another dead love consumes me
Another reason lets you fall apart
At the feet of someone else's heart
I couldn't wait to try and pick up the pieces
I'm no good at picking up my own
I don't need another cheap sedation
But I'm not gonna turn it down
Another shot at salvation dies
You can see yourself inside my eyes
All this is just a way for you
To push it out pain, push it out on me
'Cause all this is just therapy for you
That's all this is
Giving it back, giving it back
Throw it away, throw it away
Threw it away, threw it away
All this is just a way for you
To push out pain, push it out on me
All this is just therapy for you
That's all this is
Remnants of fire blow like sand in the night
you're my only desire, you're my beacon of light
Oh where has she gone?
You're my sunset, my one regret
Oh I swear I can see her when I call out her name
Oh and sometimes I feel her when I cry out in pain
God can you hear me, please give me one more try
I'll be her guardian angel, I'll be her ears and eyes
I'll stand right by her side
You're my sunset, my one regret
All my life, my one regret
She's my sunset.
I'll stand right by your side
You're my sunset, my one regret
All my life, my one regret
She's my sunset.
I swear I'll stand right by your side
Live like a slave
With no holidays
How many ways
Did you count the days?
But it feels so good to be gone
From my own kind
What's in a name?
And propped on a grave
What good is a home
When nobody's home?
Yeah, it feels so good to be gone
From my own kind
Yeah, it feels so good to be done
With my own mind
Mindless, carry me home
Mindless, carry me home
And I didn't want anything else
But listen to what we expect
Looking for careful
But looking for honest
Excited and on-time
With a universal mind
I won't live like a slave
And I won't bury my name
I won't tell you my lies
I won't run from my grave
Oh mindless, carry me home
Mindless, carry me home
Mindless, carry me home
'Cause it feels so good to be gone
does this endless wrecking ball
involve anyone or anything at all
be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
endless get away
confessed to a wall
cause these kind of drinks will make you crawl
beg rip of your face
so be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
because you'll never make the right decisions
with busy hands and blurry vision
mislead you know you won't admit it
you went against your own
she's dead you might have over did it
now you're on your own
the days are long but the nights are longer
and after midnight the drinks can only get stronger
the end it near so we become smoke and we become mirrors
come home with me now
She says "Boy come on and take my hand,
I know you're scared but by this time tomorrow you will be a man.
Follow me to the promised land,
And I'll take care of you the way no other woman can."
Oh, my revolution girl
I've been hipnotized by my revolution girl
She calls my name whenever I walk by
And when I stop to smile it always makes her cry
She gets so sad whenever I go home
She kisses me and begs me not to leave her all alone
Oh, my revolution girl
I've been hipnotized by my revolution girl
I became a man with my revolution girl
Every week I get my revolution girl
Love is now an urgency, it comes as no surprise
Every Friday night I die, and every Sunday rise
'Cause I found love on revolution boulevard
Her face is like an angel, and her body is a work of art
I found love across the borderline
She kept me safe and sound, and loved me til the morning light.
My revolution girl
Darling, I woke up in your warehouse this morning
Starving, of all the days to fight
I swear I got it rough through the night
I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the letters I send
You still choose to ignore me
Forming a stolen glimpse of love
A brand new rope to tie up your time
Warning, you're impossible to break
I fear every step that we take
I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the letters I send
You still exist to pretend
I have gone off the deep end
Forgive me
Darling, I hope the world's become
My mind and my fingers are numb
I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the letters I send
You still choose to ignore me
I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the help I extend
Despite all the signals I send
You still exist to pretend
I have gone off the deep end
Darling forgive me
Forgive me
Darling forgive me
Darling forgive me
You and I have been through this before
I owe you my whole life, nothing more
I never said that I liked you the most
You're my father, I'm your son - who's the Holy Ghost?
Where does the time go when it's not around here?
(I don't know)
Here we stand at the edge of the drive
I'm just waiting for my ride to arrive
I wait to see if you've any last words
We pulled away, I called your name - I don't think you heard
Where does the time go when it's not around here?
(I don't know)
Where does the time go when it's not around here?
You and I never shared all that much
When I leave, I'll be all right; I'll keep in touch
As your road narrows, so mine grows wider
We rode like ghosts across the Earth
We woke on Spanish clouds of dirt
But if they only knew
The places we'd been to
Into the desert night I ride
My brother by my side
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
We left our families for dead
The kids still sleeping in their beds
The sea swearing as it grew
The wind confessing as it blew
But if they only knew
The places we'd been to
Into the desert night I ride
My brother by my side
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
I could mine your soul
I could scream out your name
Oh how I love you!
And I put nothing above you
I could slow you down
I could spin you around
Oh how I love you!
If you could just let me in
Don't say that you're spread too thin
And please,
Don't tell me you're too pulled apart
To use your own heart
If I could only see
What you from me
I think I could love you
If you could just let me in
Don't say that you're spread too thin
And please,
Don't say that you're too pulled apart
To use your heart.
Don't say you're spread too thin
And please,
Don't tell me you're too pulled apart
To use your heart
Don't say you're spread too thin
And please,
Don't say that you're too pulled apart
To use your heart
Oh how I could love you
I admit I know exactly what to do
To get everything I want to get from you
And I admit I know exactly what to say
To make you dig a little deeper when you pay
If less is more
Why am I knocking at your door?
I can't take it anymore
I am an addict, an animal
I am my father's son
I am an addict, an animal
I breathe for life on the run
So tell me what do I get in return
Another lesson that you know I'll never learn
If less is more
Why am I knocking at your door?
I can't take it anymore
I am an addict, an animal
I am my father's son
I am an addict, an animal
I breathe for life on the run
And when I'm done
Kill, kill, gone
Is the rider for the ridden
And the relic in the sea
He's a perfect factor
Know that I have created another me
And when I get home this morning
I plan to finally settle down
And lick my wounds for a lifetime
Split straight down my stomach
On the ground
I am an addict, an animal
I am my father's son
I am an addict, an animal
I breathe for life on the run
I am an addict
I am an addict
I am an addict
I am an addict
I am an addict, an animal
By design
Lie composed
Lie despised
Lie disposed
Well if I hide
If I only get enough
Just to do
What I wanted to do
I've been planning this meeting for days
Carefully placing my words
Come back to me little girl
Well if I hold
Well if I ride
If I hold
Through the night
She's underage
If I only get enough
Just to do
What I wanted to do
Like a knife
Just like I talk
Well I could love
Whoever I want
Yeah, if I only get enough
Just to do
What I wanted to do
'Cause I've been planning this meeting for days
Carefully placing my words
Come back to me little girl
I've been planning this meeting for days
Carefully placing my words
Come back to me little girl
Bits of my guns are covered in blood
This town turned its back on the sun
Now they will see how swift judgement can be
Compared to a life on the run
Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy, the face of God appeared to me
Another city glazed, carelessly placed
Withered and waiting for trial
And now we will see how swift judgement can be
When compared to a life of denial
Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy Mother Mary, let them know that
Slowly, hold me in your arms, appease them
Solely, forgive what I've done
I'm your son, please don't send me to Hell
These visions you see
They're not what they seem
Even a god can be wrong
This Virgin of peace
Is down on her knees
Begging for Death to move on
Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy Mother Mary, let them know that
Slowly, hold me in your arms, appease them
Solely, forgive what I've done
I'm your son, please don't send me to Hell
They got you working on the weekdays
They got you working on the weekends too
And now you're swallowing your paycheck
Like it's what you always dreamed you'd do
When you look into the mirror
Is your faking any clearer?
Are you hanging on your last hope?
When you look into the microscope
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?
They got you riding in the spotlight
Thinking everyone knows who you are
And now you're talking like a prophet
Selling money from a shooting star
Well you're shaking to the sunset
Will you run from your judgement?
Will you trip across a tight wind?
Will you fall into your own shrine?
Is it heaven or hell inside your mind?
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?
Ohhhhhhhhhh!
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
The truth is, the truth still hurts
And that dept will just get worse
Repetition makes us colder
Death creeps a little bit closer
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Don't look back and lose your ground
Or keep passing don't slow down
The fault with the burden on each shoulder
The time has come to stop lying over
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
The night was black, my eyes were red
Of past, present, future in my head
When did I learn to bite my tongue?
Youth is not wasted on the young
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
I gotta get this blood, off our hands
A suicide at the 7/11,
while on a lotto machine
A lost face like a mirror to heaven
I always lost my numbers, god damn you
There's nothing left for me to sacrifice,
in this living hell
Well everybody got their devils,
but I'm on another level
These desperate times are nothing new,
there's a part of me that's crazier than you
These devils they control my every move
and you would not believe the things they make me do
YEAH...
Ahhh... Annihilation on LSD
a new reality
and you're the one, you're the one for me
so photogenic, schizophrenic is a epidemic
These desperate times are nothing new
there's a part of me that's crazier than you
These devils they control my every move
and you would not believe the things they make me do
I've got too many devils
I've got too many devils
Ahh...
Ahh...
These desperate times are nothing new
there's a part of me that's crazier than you
These devils they control my every move
and you would not believe the things they make me do
Yeah...
I've got too many devils
