Master Splinter, or simply Splinter, is a fictional character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media.
Splinter has two origin stories, and which one is used depends on the medium. In the original version of the tale, he was Hamato Yoshi's pet and is referred to as Goober, and in the other, he is Hamato Yoshi.
In both the original comics and the live-action movies, Splinter was the pet rat of a ninja named Hamato Yoshi in Japan. Intelligent for his species, Splinter was able to learn his master's art by mimicking his movements while he practiced. Yoshi became embroiled in a dispute with a fellow ninja by the name of Oroku Nagi, and was eventually murdered by Nagi's brother Oroku Saki.
Without a home, Splinter was forced to run away and live in New York City's sewers. Due to a traffic accident, four baby turtles and a canister of radioactive ooze were sent down into the sewer, where they mutated both Splinter and the turtles. Splinter named the four turtles Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo (after a book on Renaissance artists that he found in a storm drain) and trained them in the arts of ninjutsu, while still raising them as his own sons. Splinter died of old age in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (vol. 4) #10.
Plot
Being the offspring of a retired pro wrestler, tag-team brothers JAMES BLOND and SPLINTER share dreams of body-slamming their way out of indie pro wrestling and into big bucks with the WWE. As James Blond struggles for notoriety. Splinter believes his ticket to the top is managing a 7-foot Russian amateur wrestler, a character who proceeds to maim all the wrestlers in the gym. From smoky bingo halls to open-air fairgrounds, "Wrestlemaniac" offers an often hilarious and unvarnished look at the subculture of independent professional wrestling.

Leonardo: A true Ninja is a master of himself and his environment, so don't forget: We're turtles!

Heroes in a half shell!
Lean, Green And On The Screen.
They're mean, green and on the screen
This ain't no cartoon.
All fathers care for their sons.
Lean, green and on the screen everywhere.
Hey dude, this is NO cartoon.
Casey Jones: Lead the way, Toots.::April: "Toots"?::Casey Jones: Babe? Sweetcakes? Ah - Princess! You wanna throw me a clue here? I'm drowning.::April: Hey, you know what, that's okay. I'll do it myself.::Casey Jones: Fine, it's up to you. Just don't come around here asking for my help anymore.::April: Casey, I wouldn't ask for your help if you were the last THING on the face of this planet.::Casey Jones: At least I know she thinks of me... [Casey sprawls out on the porch swing; it breaks and he falls on it to the ground]
The Shredder: You are here because the outside world rejects you. THIS is your family. I am your father. I want you all to become full members of the Foot. There is a new enemy: freaks of nature who interfere with our business. You are my eyes and ears. Find them! Together we will punish these creatures, these... turtles.
Michaelangelo: [while Leonardo slices the pizza] Yes, friends, the new tubo ginsu. Wa-hoo! It dices, it slices, and it makes French fries and three different...::[a pizza slice lands on Splinter's head]::Michaelangelo: WHOOPS.::Splinter: Kids.
Splinter: [Leonardo meditates heavily]... Leonardo.::Leonardo: Huh? Splinter!::Raphael: [inside playing a board game] "What Russian novel, embraces more than 500 characters, is set in the Napoleotic wars?"::Donatello: 'War and Peace'.::Leonardo: [bursting in] He's alive.::Raphael: [Leo walks right on the board game] Hey!::Donatello: Game smash.::Leonardo: Splinter's alive.::Donatello: We know, Leo, of course he is. We all think he's alive.::Leonardo: I don't *think*. I *know*.::Donatello: Huh?
Tatsu: Your empire flourishes, Master Shredder.::The Shredder: What more from the rat?::Tatsu: Nothing. He will not speak.::The Shredder: And the boy who lead us to the turtles?::Tatsu: He is still missing. I do not understand. Why do the turtles trouble you, Master? They have not been seen for many days.::The Shredder: Something about the way you describe their fighting. Something familiar. Something... from the past.
Donatello: Good thing these guys aren't lumberjacks.::Michaelangelo: No joke. The only thing safe in the woods... would be the trees!
Casey Jones: [about April's farmhouse] Hey, didn't they use this place in The Grapes of Wrath?::April: Very funny. I told you, I haven't been up here in years.
April: Okay, those guys in the black pajamas, they jumped me, and, and that rat... I saw *you* in the parking lot. That explains you. And you guys... [the turtles] Um... I have no idea where you came from.::Splinter: If you will please just sit down and calm yourself, I will tell you where we came from.::April: It talks!::Splinter: It is really quite simple, Miss O'Neil.::April: And he knows my name... perfect.::Splinter: Fifteen years ago...::April: Why don't I ever dream of Harrison Ford?
Casey Jones: This is great. First it was The Farm That Time Forgot and now this. Why don't I ever fall in with people who own condos? Probably hard to get good maid service in a sewer. Maybe you guys should try Roto Rooter, huh?
Leonardo: [Raphael has brought an unconscious April O'Neil into the sewer] Are you crazy?::Raphael: Yeah, Leo, I'm crazy, OK? A loony, OK?::Donatello: But why?::Raphael: Why? Why, oh I don't know, 'cause I wanted to redecorate. You know, a couple of throw pillows, a TV news reporter, what do ya think?
We we're dust in a world
Of grim obsession.
We wouldn't taunt from mouth
Like an isolation.
We we're pulled from our path
Of least resistance.
And the songs we sang
What became of us?
We're here waiting for you
We're here waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
We all pray for the end
For the god to take us.
We we're falling down
One by one.
We we're weak and the fear
Was all around us.
The machines screamed from
Moon to sun.
We're here waiting for you
We're here waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
Something about this landscape just don't feel right
Hyper air-conditioned and lit up all night
Like we just gotta see how comfortable comfortable can
Like we can't even bring ourselves to sweat
Sweat in the summer, shiver in the winter
Just enough to know that we're alive
Watch out for that TV, it's full of splinters
And remember you can always go outside
Really, really, really far outside
And some might call it conservation
And some might call it common sense
And maybe it's because I am Libra
But I say balance balance balance balance
I say balance balance balance balance
Who put all this stuff in my apartment?
Who put all this ice in my drink?
Who put the poison in the atmosphere?
Who put the poison in the way I think?
O women, won't you be our windows
Women who bleed and bleed and bleed
Women who swim with the tide, women who change when the
wind blows
Show us we are connected to everything
Show us we are not separate from everything
So here's to the trials of living
Here's to feeling our share of pain
All the way from childbirth to dying
Here's to being connected to everything
I see you couldn't catch your breath
Believe me it's all that it must be
You see I never said my piece
If only you left it that easy
Fractured we have been since sometime sixteen
Failure was on me but your ideals bore me
Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?
Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under?
So colored by you but your monkey messed it up
Uncovered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough
You're like scissors in my coat
You're like splinters in my cup
I know you couldn't care me less
Keep hoping it's all only token
You know I never had my say
If only you'd keep it that open
Loser may have been but it's lost on me
Splintered I will be when your peace breaks cheap
Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?
Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under?
Three color blind you but your monkey messed it up
Surrendered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough
You're like scissors in my coat
We are strong, we are right
We won't be pushed aside
We'll go on, we will fight
We will not compromise
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
In your space I feel lesser than human, a slave
Pushed down with shame on my face
You're a god for an hour but what have you done
That gave you the right, gave you the right to kill me
Cut out the splinter, cut me away
Cut it out, cut it out
You think you're better than me
You think you kill me, cut out the splinter
Last thing I will remember in the end
You think you kill me, cut out the splinter
Go now, live in failure, your faith was spoken
Now you mean nothing
What a waste of my time as I follow the dead
Your fake ass celebrity [Incomprehensible]
So now what's the leader doing?
What have you done? You got no more fight
Gave you the right to kill me
Cut out the splinter, cut me away
Cut it out, cut it out
You think you kill me, cut out the splinter
Last thing I will remember in the end
You think you kill me, cut out the splinter
Go now, live in failure, your faith was spoken
Now you mean nothing, nothing
Am I the splinter in your life?
Cut me away, cut me away, cut
You think you kill me, cut out the splinter
Last thing I will remember in the end
You think you kill me, cut out the splinter
Go now, live in failure, your faith was spoken
Here I lie again inside this broken body
Wrestle against the tree, my muscles aching
To get up now is death, to die is to really live
Flesh is restless, twisting, spasms in my back increasing
Splinter me, splinter me
My heart, my head
Splinter me
Here I think again to try to solve this puzzle
What is not yours I do not want, my mind aching
To reconstruct my thoughts or let it blow away
You are all-knowing, changing, yeah you're killing me
Splinter me, splinter me
My heart, my head
Splinter me
Jesus whispered softly, Jesus shouted it out
His kingdom body coming
But we nail him up and hate each other
Splinter me, splinter me
My broken body
Splinter me
Splinter me, splinter me
My broken body
stay cement feet
we were friends out of reach in the past
but however i'm losing your face in my head
dare all you can
you can't lose, because you've been spared to get used
now you're living all over the edges of all senses
i close my x-ray eyes
i've seen that all before
i knew it all before but the cut never came
crawling on the floor while the hit was acclaimed
it doesn't mean that you like to be on my knees in a squeeze
i'm falling out too deep, but i'm stuck to the lane
like any other creep that is shot all in vain
now i'll take a rest till you call my name
i close my x-ray eyes
can't stare at all the spies
i've seen this all before
i've seen it all before
sweer as a gift we were friends
as seen in the past but nobody has carried the claim
the story that i tell is a story i was told
i will stand beneath while you dig your own hole
I know what it feels
Like it burns from the inside
I know what it hurts like
Cause I've been wrong a thousand times
My bones are all cracked
Splinter deep in my back
[chorus]
I'm still the same but we have changed
And now I have to live with my mistakes
Will I ever learn
I'm battered and bruised
Scratched on the inside
I'm losing myself I'm so sick of the lies
Dead ring in my ears the hole underneath
You're deep in my skin you're the splinter in me
You'll never know how hard I
Try to keep my head right
I miss all the bright lights
Shinning down like the sun burns my skin
Ten silver sets me free
Like the ones before me
[rpt. chorus]
i see you couldn't catch your breath
believe me it's all that it must be
you see i never said my piece
if only you left it that easy
fractured we have been since sometime sixteen
failure was on me cause your ideals bore me
does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?
would you give reaction to the cause i'm under?
so coloured by you but your money messed it up
surrendered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough
you're like scissors in my coat
you're like splinters in my cup
i know you couldn't care me less
keep hoping it's all only token
you know i never had my say
if only you'd keep it that open
loser may have been but its so lost on me
splintered i will be when your peace breaks cheap
does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?
would you give reaction to the cause i'm under?
three colour blind you but your monkey messed it up
surrendered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough
you're like scissors in my coat
I’m sorry - I’m sorry for all the times my momma cried
And I apologize - And I apologize for not being who you
needed me to be
I hope you realize - I hope you realize I think about
you all the time
I spent half my life - I spent half my life trying to
let it go
Every time I get close - Every time I get close the
anger comes creeping back up
Like a splinter down in my soul and I wonder
Why can I be so petty sometimes?
Even though I hold a grudge
You’re always on my mind
I’m standing three steps from your door
But I’m afraid to step inside
But you’re always on my mind
I think about you all the time [x8]
The anger comes creeping back up
Like a splinter down in my soul and I wonder
Why can I be so petty sometimes?
Even though I hold a grudge
You’re always on my mind
I’m standing three steps from your door
But I’m afraid to step inside
But you’re always on my mind
I’m sorry
Keep walking into corners not facing straight
I'm begging for attention in this silent space
So keep pulling at the splinter it all starts here
Could use a little something to help me care
It looks good on you it does it looks good on you it must
Has this race got too swift can we all walk away (x2)
And get this splinter out get this splinter out out out out.
So I'm passing on a future for someone else
Still stuck inside excuses and I can't get out
I need a little tension to help explain
It looks good on you I trust it looks good on you it does
Has this race got too swift can we all walk away (x2)
And get this splinter out get this splinter out out out out.
Has this race got too swift can we all walk away (x4)
You do not own my body
You'll never own my soul
I am not just another commodity
To fall under your control
I'll break free from the power of suggestion
I won't listen to what you say
You manipulate thought to dominate life
I watch it happen, it happens every day
I won't do what you tell me to do
I'm going to break
I won't say what you tell me to say
I'm breaking free
I won't think what you tell me to think
I'm going to break
I won't live how you want me to live
I'm breaking free
I can't believe most of what I see
I can't believe most of what I hear
I can't believe most of what I read
And you ask what is to fear?
Look beyond the surface...
That's is when I find
That they might take my strength for granted
But they will never, never take my mind
We are bombarded relentlessly by images and slogans representing lifeless,
Empty concepts... corporations are nothing more. Industry is tied into the
Government
Which in turn, is tied into the media. Is it any wonder that we find
Ourselves
Manipulated at every turn by new catch phrases and other psychological
Hooks
Designed to spend our money for us, think our thoughts for us, live our
Lives for us?
There is no escape. The contradictions are endless. Lost somewhere between
See the little girl all alone
not facing anyone?
Well she comes out here
in the night sometimes, all alone
She's wondering,
how everything can fall apart so fast
And how funny it seems,
that yesterday was never meant to last.
She walks out on the corner
Steps right up to a man who knows her name
Thought that she was older
And thinks he's gonna take her home to burn.
Spends her days walking in the park
with the feeling of the sun & the wind in her hair
Doesn't like the touch of the cold hand,
his breath or that frozen stare.
And she'd wash everyday
if the soap could take away the pain
But the stains don't ever go away
or get clean
Doesn't wanna go there
I'll take a trip to someplace far away
Where no-one seems to know her
And daddy can't take her home to burn.
Every morning running circles 'round my head
He keeps chasing me,
it's sickening & sickening...
so sick
And there's one more thing
that I don't understand
No,no,no ... it must be someone else
I need to know!
Oh god I remember
No no daddy,
please let me close my eyes
Only wishing it was over
Now no-one's gonna take her...
1-2-3-4 Sick of waiting anymore
5-6 going higher, getting colder feed the fire.
Will you take me incompletly, need to taste you bitter sweet
I have wounds that I can show you, kiss you sting you fuck you take you
I will work to break you slowly, I will haunt you without fear
Mine is gold and pure as snow but dipped in blood of virgin's tears
I cannot be shared, I will not be saved
It is here that I'll hurt you, it is here that I'm safe
No touch is ignored, no sex too strong
I. . . I am one
7-8-9-10 Breathe deep here we go again
Ticking tocking muscles aching, pumping blood flows the infecting
Like a lump inside your throat, it pricks your thumbs when you're alone
Infect the wound where angels clean, make you cum and make you scream
So spread your mind I'll fuck what's inside, dive in deep where demons hide
Hurt you deep my love is numb
I. . . I am one
In this place, my insane grace
I alone - a tattered face
Hide alone in the cold
The only soul you've ever known
I will catch you when you run, I will hurt you in the end
When you find you hate like I
Trust in me to feel empty.
Here in the dark
noone knows what I'm breaking
and often times
thinking of what I'm needing
If I could do without wanting more of this feeling
maybe then I won't think of you and what it's taking
I have a way of fucking up all that I'm given
and when I'm brave enough
I think of ways to help me make it
If I wanted to I'd crawl into
but my memory's fading...Im the ghostfish
and I need something to crawl inside
and leave me bleeding
Cos I've had enough of being sick of this inside me
Make a wish upon a star
Dare to tell your dreams to the one who's wrapped up in your arms
And I want to know who we are
Sell your soul so simply, would you sell your soul to change the world?
And I want to tell her everything
What oceans mean to me
What things I fear to see.
And she looks up into my eyes
But I lost her in the moment as a shooting star goes flying by...
So we look out at the moon
Wandering fish is not my own
I count the stars up in the sky
And she just watches them die.
Tattoo my love upon your heart
Trace it with your finger everytime the memories fall apart
Tonight would'nt be so very hard
To say you're not afraid, even though it means you really are
And she won't tell me anything
No stories does she bring
No sound is happening
Replace my vacant home up in the sky
For no fish swims alone and falling stars can only burn and die
So we look out at the moon, wandering fish is not my own
I count the stars up in the sky, and she just watches them die.
Tattooed her love upon my heart
Stung me with kisses, I'm afraid to let it fall apart
And I want to wash her wings in kisses of smoke and sing
But I can't remember how it goes
The story or the song I used to know
To hear what we want
Excuses and denial
No cut heals slower
All the memories, dreams &
kisses
I would bury in the sand
While the ebbing waves of emotion
Forever slipping thru my hands
Plastic faces, letters and pictures
A diamond taken from her hand
She was the one I was going to marry
But said I would'nt understand.
I would take these things and put them in a box
Make a wish to set it free and drop it in the dust
And all the things from you that I had come across
Are just the pieces of my heart.
All the children, lovers and familys with their castles on the sand
And all my memories buried in their basements
Strangest treasures `neath the land
Perfumed letters written with devotion
Signed from where we used to meet
Filled with promises never meant for keeping...
I would take these things and put them in a box
Make a wish and set it free and drop it in the dust
And all the things from you that I had come across
Are just the pieces of a life that I have lost
And I am certain that our love has come to end
Life with you meant more to me, more than just a friend
I loved you once but now I know that I could love again
It's just the pieces of my heart
Before they fall apart
..All the memories, the dreams and wishes that I had buried in the sand.
Until the day, she would un-earth them
Bring me your flesh and blood don't bring me your disease.
Break me with your distrust, I'll lay your soul to waste
Bring me your hurt & pain I'll give you what you lust
Fuck me with your complaints, I'll turn you into dust.
Bring me your skin tonight, my hate is yours to take
Scream all you fucking want and feel your body ache
I want I need to feel you up inside your sweat
Give everything you want, I'll take all I can get
Now don't it make you feel better?
Scream if you want more
I don't want to hurt you
Just hold your breath and bleed
Bring me your hurt, bring me your fears, bring me your pain
Bring all you fucking want, I have no soul to save
I want, I need to feel you up inside your flesh
No one will take you now, I've drained you to your death.
It makes you feel better
Drags you down
I've already got you
took you
drained you
Emptied your life...
love...
blood...
Big pig fucking pig - Look like shit you make me sick
You had it all or at least you thought so
Big stinking smelly pig - stuck in the middle of your little fit
Misery seems to fit you well
You look so alive or at least I thought so
So dumb ya don't even know you're here
Why'z that you look at your reflection
Trying to find the answer
Big Pig little pig - they left you in and left you skinless
Prick the needle beg for more
Big piggy, lonely piggy broken down and feeling dizzy
What was it that you came here for
You think you know what you're after
Tell me what is it that you'd like
You cannot live without your addiction
Sink your teeth in and bite
Please don't look so unattentive
You see the worst is yet to come
I know you'll fuck everything up and
piss of everyone.
Big Pig fucking pig look like shit you make me sick
You lost it all and then you fell
Big pig, little piggy broken full of stink and sweat
Your little piggy seems to treat you well
Little pigs never believe in heaven
Crawling further `cross the floor
You think you're gonna live forever
But hoping that you don't
Big pig fucking pig, thought I loved you, well
And she walks by the edge
She sees them in her eyes
Pushes off and then...slowly glides
Poised and confident
She bows to her friend
Smiles so heavenly, I'd understand
And for all the world to see
She makes no mistakes
And I watch her in...Arena.
She knows no enemy
She dances for the kill
I know a place, locked doors, windows & gates
White tiles and gray... desparing scenery
And I know a face, young girl, out of place
Saddened & strange
Makes no sounds at all
locked away just like a doll.
Anna woke today
Rubs her eyes is so afraid
And she wonders why she stays
With the other kids in the mental wing
Poor Anna, sits and waits.
Slave to the bore
Pills...they just bring me more
Ears hear no sounds, memories just bring be down
And I see them with toys
Parents with girls and boys
Sleepy they read
Promised to visit me
Repeating in my memory
Anna loves to wave
Watches them most everyday
And she wonder when she'll play with the other kids
But she thinks of better days
If she could she'd run away
But she screams aloud and says
"I'm not like the other kids"
In the mental wing, for Anna sits and waits
I know a place
Young girl, tears on her face
Saddened it's strange
She makes no sounds at all...
Anna sleeps today
Cradles up and slips away
And I wonder what she takes to reduce the pain
I'd like to tell you a story
come sit with me here by the sea
I cant promise it wont be a long one
but I need you here to listen to me
I cant make sense of all that I'm feeling
& I dont expect you to understand
but when you're feeling like nothing else matters...
You're asking me all the wrong questions
its true that you dont understand
But I can't help the way that I'm thinking
and I know that you're mad but dont cry if you can
Don't think that I'm being an outcast
or just another teenage whore
Cos if I knew of some other way out there
I wouldn't be with you now up here up high up on
Some people say there is but one way out
I disagree can't you hear me shout
I'm sick of the looks and I'm sick of the stares
I'm sick of the ones that glance into the air
I'm sick of those tight-fisted wannabe fucks
How can you love when you're sick of yourself?
I'm sick of the looks that I'm getting
Cos I'm the only one with enough balls to be brave
I'm sicker than sick of just feeling this way
thinking that there must be something that's better that's out there
What is out there???
Nothing is out there...
I'd like to sit by the ocean,
curl up with a needle or 2
And she comes,
tired in the night
Ties a rope around her arm
and her teeth grip it so tight
And her arms,
they move so slowly
Eyes cloud into a haze,
and her dreams take her away
I don't know why it seems
Can't trade a life for dreams
And her life,
she's nervous and tired
Spends her days alone,
and her night's getting higher
She says love only moves in the day
Tripping always seems to make the worst seem ok
All that she believes
Is Posioning her dreams
And she's numb, cold & blue
Six days have gone
and ther's no-one left to scream to
And she lies without a sound
Shadows rise above her
and a needle drips on the ground
Now that everything
And she comes,
tired in the night
Ties a rope around her arm
and her teeth grip it so tight
And her arms,
they move so slowly
Eyes cloud into a haze,
and her dreams take her away
I don't know why it seems
Can't trade a life for dreams
And her life,
she's nervous and tired
Spends her days alone,
and her night's getting higher
She says love only moves in the day
Tripping always seems to make the worst seem ok
All that she believes
Is Posioning her dreams
And she's numb, cold & blue
Six days have gone
and ther's no-one left to scream to
And she lies without a sound
Shadows rise above her
and a needle drips on the ground
Now that everything
Is stolen by all her dreams
Make a wish upon a star
Dare to tell your dreams to the one who's wrapped up in your arms
And I want to know who we are
Sell your soul so simply, would you sell your soul to change the world?
And I want to tell her everything
What oceans mean to me
What things I fear to see.
And she looks up into my eyes
But I lost her in the moment as a shooting star goes flying by...
-
So we look out at the moon
Wandering fish is not my own
I count the stars up in the sky
And she just watches them die.
-
Tattoo my love upon your heart
Trace it with your finger everytime the memories fall apart
Tonight would'nt be so very hard
To say you're not afraid, even though it means you really are
And she won't tell me anything
No stories does she bring
No sound is happening
Replace my vacant home up in the sky
For no fish swims alone and falling stars can only burn and die
-
So we look out at the moon, wandering fish is not my own
I count the stars up in the sky, and she just watches them die.
-
Tattooed her love upon my heart
Stung me with kisses, I'm afraid to let it fall apart
And I want to wash her wings in kisses of smoke and sing
But I can't remember how it goes
The story or the song I used to know
To hear what we want
Excuses and denial
No cut heals slower
There is evil in this presence...
In my life of nothing and wanting nothing more
I cannot think to raise my eyes to anything at all
A sad thing to offer, shameful if best
Something to be understood, but wanting nothing less
And I know it should be something that I never should have missed
It dies in me
My suffering is too quick to notice new life that grows in me
You moved it deep inside of me, certain and pure
And left me here wondering why you wanted me at all
And I know it should be something that I never had before
Tied up in Daisies
In my life there's nothing I've ever wanted more
To taste you, to offer anything at all
Don't die in me
My suffering won't leave me...don't leave me
Inside my hands are shaking, my eyes drawn back in fear
To break me open and notice the blame of the wound you cut in here
And I
know it feels like nothing that you've ever felt before
Tied up in Daisies
If my life is nothing, than I want nothing more
Take me inside you, trace flowers on your soul.
I want to make you something, you've never seen before
Open up your heart and tie yourself up in me more
And now I'm something that I know you should've never had before.
I have this life
The one they gave me
It brings me sorrow
brings me joy.
This life it lives
In death it breathes
It kisses the air
Caresses my soul
Fills my nose
How do I live without hope?
Tell me do you wanna know if I could
Cos I don't believe the things I see
I can't pretend I am, what I won't be
How do I live without hurt?
Tell me, do you wanna know if a god
Could be bought & sold so easily
And laugh at everyone & everything
Holding on, I'm smiling at you
I'm frowning as you walk away
And like a child I hate you in that subtle way
Nothing lives, everything dies away.
How do I live without love?
Tell me, do you wanna know was I wrong?
Cos for everyday that comes to me
is one more that I am, that I won't be
How do I live without hope?
Tell me do you wanna know what I've done?
I just don't believe the things
I've seen I can't become
When you smile a violet grows beneath me
When you rhyme I lose the words to say
When I go I say I'll never leave you
When I die I'll meet you on the way
When you rise your body moves beside me
When it's night I need to hear you say
When I show you everything I'm thinking
When you write it takes the pain away.
I know what soul hunger is
Craves a million miles away
I know what heartache says
Take me back to yesterday
When you cry a violet dies inside me
When it's time I'll find the words to say
When I know you'll say I've always loved you
When I wake I'll be back yesterday
Starving sorrow let me sleep
Carve tomorrow let me weep
Pain is knocking let me sleep
Rain is knocking let me weep
cry out in the silence, in the darkness no-one's there
Something keeps haunting me, put my fingers to the air.
I'd touch you if I could feel you, with my hand I'd make a wave
Knee to knee, anyone inside, touch me now and close your eyes
No more living day by day, it's hard for me
Look into my soul, maybe then you'd realise and see it's me.
Insense scent, candles glow, place my shadows on the wall
Entity embracing me, I trust won't let me fall
You feel me, see thru me, look deep into my soul
You're there inside, if you want to hide
It's time we said goodbye.
No more living day by day, it's hard for me
look into my soul, maybe then you'd realise and see it's me.
The power of dreams, how easy it seems
that they can ruin the perfect, the perfect in me
No more will I hide, take me deep down inside
Strip away all your fear, and you'l see & say to me
It's perfect to me.
Life ends so easily and silence comes so fast
My need to live has abadoned me to quick to make me last
In life I will forever sleep, in dreams I will awake
My perfect side no longer hides, in death I am alive.
When I look out at the world tonight
I think that I would rather die
But the answer that is sinking in
is one you won't believe in
I told you this so many times before
And I feel like breaking down
I'd like to turn the world around somehow
But if you can could ask me
how can I believe in what I can't decide
I think that you could never understand
And I know it's easy to decieve
but I won't ask you to believe how things
have gotten so far out of control.
And it feels like breaking down
got to turn the world around somehow
Who will catch you when you fall
when you're world is spinning round
And I wish I could know how
cos my world is sinking down.
When I look at all the things
I see it's always lonley being free
I wonder why we always feel alone
And for every star out in the sky
is one more reason left to die
Sometimes its hard enough just to believe.
And if you feel like breaking down
got to turn the world around somehow
Who will catch you when you fall
when you're world is sinking down
And I wish I could know how
Posting pictures on the wall
Little psycho porno doll
And I don't need to touch you
To know that you've been all around.
She makes my skin crawl
Through it all she gets under
She gets deep within,
underneath my skin
Hang your name up on the door
Daddys little whore
And I don't need to teaze you
To know that I can piss you off too
She makes my skin crawl
Through it all she get's under
She gets deep within,
underneath my skin.
Post your picture on the wall
Little fucked up porno doll
This is where you're walking out
Come back tomorrow maybe
We think you're finding something better
hey now hey now it's all the same
and now hey now when you wanna go
return to zero
We hear you're finding something different
and you know now it's all the same
And when you realized you fucked up
and hey now you know you can't
you won't
return to zero
I don't want your revolution
I don't need the drugs you're on
I don't wanna be like you
or anything you own
I just want a better solution
want to find some other way out
I want to find the one who fucked me here in the first place
pull me out
I'm being played for an asshole
I'm be played for a fool
I'm being twice as fucked up as I used to
I bet you never even knew
I bet you couldn't figure out
You're so fucking stupid
to think that someone could get used to that
Just when you thought it was safe to say I love you
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water
return to zero
Cut my hands - I don't feel you any longer
Darken my eyes - I don't see you anymore
Scar my face - No kisses fall upon them
Tear my vein - Erase the memories that let you in
Smash your face - Your infection never leaves me
Fear your name - I hear it everywhere
Speak no more - I lay my shit upon you
Clouds my brain - It echoes through the hole that let you in
Bleed my skin - The disease begins to leave me
Torturing - My body now be still
Erase me - Then never to remember
Removing - It breeds within the hole that let you in
If I can't feel your heart again
Then I don't want to feel mine any longer
Let the killing begin
Scrape the memories inside my head
To remove you from me erase everything
That still belongs to me.
Why is it that we always say
That this will be the last time we will fall
Trust no-one
And never love again
When the truth is that the myth of love
Trips us time and time again
Could it be that you could fall so far
That no-one
No matter how strong their love
Could pull you back up again
Being left to float endlessly
In a Black
You're Burning like a light,
that's dieing in the rain,
and you're fading far from view.
You cannot see that far,
you cannot know the way,
or see what I'm doing to you.
Cuts into my skin,
I can't live my life in this lie
im drowning in.
Naming all the wrongs
and forgetting all the rights,
and placing blames on me
And maybe I just thought
we'd never reach that height,
or what it could never be.
You come before me now,
you're asking for me
to make sense of this somehow.
But I, I can't make what's wrong seem right
& I can't raise my hands to the sky,
and dream of what could be tomorrow.
If you could take enough of me,
and see what I could do to you.
The beating of it all,
gets me thru.
So cry out to the moon,
or wish upon a star,
and see if that get's you far
Then strike it hard and cruel,
cos it cannot help you now
Like water in waves,
stop crying to me this way
Cause I, I can't make what's wrong seem right
& I can't raise my hands to the sky,
and dream of what could be tomorrow.
So don't tell me now,
you think what I would say,
or do
Or if I've had enough of you...
Feel sicker this tme? You will
Sit tight cos I'm coming in for the kill
It cuts you but you won't know when
Drowning hurting feeding
stinks like suicide.
Dieing breathing FreaKing
smells like suicide.
Drowning hurting loving
feels like suicide.
Burning screaming all that I am needing
killz like suicide.
Hurt them
what they want is always fucking
death by suicide
But then I dont know why
I'm lieing It's all I know.
I know that everything is wrong
I don't believe its true
I don't believe in love
I can't believe in you
Blood is feeding
off your warning
love is like suicide
I only wanted to be giving love all along
I know you're going to say
that I'm a fucking waste
and you're so fucking stupid
that you're fucking wrong
And when everything is dark
there must be something in between
and you don't even know
what the fuck suicide is
I know that everything is wrong
I don't believe its true
I don't believe in love
I can't believe in you.
Drowning feeling of you moving scent above me
screaming focus on me falling listen to me
I know everything is wrong
don't believe a thing
I used to know what's true
I don't believe in anything
and I hate you and
I don't believe in love
I don't believe it's true
I don't believe it's true
I don't believe in you
I don't believe in you
