If I were you I wouldn't trust
A single word I say
Think by now you should know
That nothing's gonna change
Can I ask you something; what did you expect
So disappointed with what you get
Do you ever want to just get outta here
So disappointed; just disappear
Look at you, Superman
With all the world to change
Think by now you'd figure out
That nothing's gonna change
And I am part of the reason
Can I ask you something; what did you expect
So disappointed with what you get
Do you ever want to just get outta here
she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless
fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away
I won't let you fall apart
she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if I could fix myseld I think that I would rather - but it's too late for me
I wont let you fall apart
we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...
it's something I have to do
I was there, too
before everyhting else
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
kill me
kill me
kill me
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like

All i've undergone
I will keep on
Underneath it all
We feel so small
The heavens fall
But still we crawl
All i've undergone
I will keep on
this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down
real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i'm the one without a soul i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't think you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down
real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you

I got my head but my head is unraveling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
I got my heart but my heart's no good
and you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more I give to you the more I die
and I want you
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
I see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart
my blood wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little there is left of me
take me with you
without you everything falls apart
reptile
reptile

(the rest is instrumental)
all I do
I can still feel you
numb all through
I can still feel you
hear your call
underneath it all
kill my brain
yet you still remain
crucified
after all I've died
after all I've tried
you are still inside
all I do
I can still feel you
you remain
I want you to take me
I want you to take me
I want you to break me
all I've undergone
I will keep on
underneath it all
we feel so small
the heavens fall
but still we crawl
all I've undergone
[instrumental]
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Cause you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tried faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been
Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear
I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below
I can still feel you
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
you get me closer to god
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to fuck you like an animal
you get me closer to god
you let me violate you
you let me desocrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you
you let me violate you
you let me desocrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to fuck you like an animal
everything's blue in this world
he couldn't believe how easy it was
(he put the gun into his face)
bang!
(so much blood for such a tiny little hole)
problems do have solutions you know
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed
in one determined flash
everything's blue
everything's blue in this world
all fuzzy
spilling out of my head
the deepest shade
all spilling
he couldn't believe how easy it was
the deepest shade of mushroom blue
everything's blue in this world
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed
a lifetime of
the deepest shade
all fuzzy
spilling
bang!
he couldn't believe how
bang!
he couldn't believe how easy it was

It's still getting worse after everything I've tried.
What if I found a way to wash it all aside.
What if she touches with those fingertips,
As the words spill out like fire from her lips?
And if she says come inside I'll come inside for her.
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified. I am purified. I am sanctified. Inside you
Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel.
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.
I still dream of lips I never should have kissed.
Well she knows exactly what I can't resist
I'm still caught up in another of her spells.
Well she's turning me into someone else.
Everyday I hope and pray this will end.
But when I can I do it all again
As surely as the blade's course is run.
hey God why are you doing this to me?
am i not living up to what i'm supposed to be?
why am i seething with this animosity?
hey God i think you owe me a great big apology
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
hey God i really don't know what you mean.
seems like salvation comes only in our dreams.
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
hey God can this world really be as sad as it seems
terrible lie

terrible lie
don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to.
don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to
hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide.
i lost my ignorance, security and pride.
i'm all alone in a world you must despise.
hey God, i believed that promises, your promises and lies
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
you made me throw it all away.
my morals left to decay.
how many you betray.
you've taken everything
terrible lie

my head is filled with disease.
my skin is begging you please.
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe.

don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to
i give you everything.
my sweet everything
hey God, i really don't know who i am.
in this world of piss
there's nothing left for me to hide
there is a game I play
try to make myself okay
try so hard to make the pieces all fit
smash it apart
just for the fuck of it
bye bye oooh
got to get back to the bottom
bye bye oooh
the big come down isn't that what you wanted?
bye bye oooh
find a place with the failed and forgotten
bye bye oooh
isn't that really what you wanted now?
there is no place I can go there is no way I can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside
there is a hate that burns within
the most desperate place I have ever been
try to get back to where I'm from
the closer I get the worse it becomes
the closer I get the worse it becomes
there is no place I can go there is no place I can hide
terrible lie

hey God, i really don't know who i am.
in this world of piss
there's nothing left for me to hide
There is no god up in the sky tonight
No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
All that was true is left behind
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want your dreams you try to sell
This disease I give to myself
How does it feel?
She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Itches my skin right off of my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstacy
How does it feel?
I am so dirty on on the inside
How does it feel?
Suck
A thousand lips a thousand tongues
A thousand throats a thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
i still recall the taste of your tears.
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore.
you'll make this all go away.
you'll make this all go away.
i'm down to just one thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
you'll make this all go away.
you'll make this all go way.
i just want something.
i just want something that i can never have
you were the one to show me how
back there i couldn't do the things that i can do now.
this thing is slowly taking me apart.
and grey would be the color, now, if you had a heart.
come on and tell me
you'll make this all go away.
you'll make this all go away.
i'm down to just one thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
in this place it seems like such a shame.
though it all looks different now,
i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see.
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be.
come on tell me.
you'll make this all go away.
you'll make this all go away.
i'm down to just one thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
you'll make this all go away.

And I'm starting to scare myself.

You make this all go away.

I just want something I can never have
You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.
Come on tell me
In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.
Come on tell me
you give me the reason.
you give me control.
i gave you my Purity.
my Purity you stole.
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise.
am i just too stupid to realize.
stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies
it comes down to this.
your kiss.
your fist.
and your strain.
it get's under my skin.

take in the extent of my sin
you give me the anger.
you give me the nerve.
carry out the sentence.

You had all of them on your side, didn't you?
You believed in all of your lies, didn't you?
The ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease
How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did it get so long?
You had to give them all a sign, didn't you?
You had to covet what was mine, didn't you?
The ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
Maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
Maybe it's a part of me you took it to a place I hoped it would never go
And maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know
How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did it get so long?
What you gave to me
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see what you really are
You didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now
[instrumental]
(instrumental)
I wanna take you baby
I wanna take you out
I wanna wine and dine you
Oh I wanna twist and twist and shout
I want you hot in my arms
So soft on my bed
You get the key to my heart
Oh when you wear that sweet dress
But you're too physical physical to me
You're just too physical physical no to me
I want your rough house baby
I want this right in your ear
You let me feel your danger
I let you make this feeling clear here
I want the touch of your charms
The heat of your breath
I wanna say all those things
That would be better unsaid
No
But you're too physical physical to me
You're just too physical oh
You're too physical for me
You're too physical to me
You're really just- just too- just
Too really fuck no
You're just too physical
You're just too physical
Too fucking physical
No no no no no no no
Oh you're too physical
Just too physical
Just too
wherever I go
I take a little piece of you
I collect
I reject
photographs I took of you
well times I passed through
so many faces
so many places
I have got to have a memory
I have never been there
I have never had you
I can't remember
give me your reminder
I collect
I reject
memorabilia
(now girl... only it's flavor... bow down here)
keychains and snowstorms
the taste of your sweat
the look in your eye
I have been inside you
I know what it feels like
(wet as it is... the whiter the honey)
I collect
I reject
memorabilia
(goodies come in here all day)
give me your reminder
I can't remember
I collect
(instrumental)
step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down
maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
The more that we take
The paler we get
I can't remember what it is
We try to forget
The tile on the floor
So cold it can sting
In your eyes is a place
Worth remembering
For you to go and take this, to smash it apart
I've gone all this fucking way
To wind up back at
Back at the start
Hey, the closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you got anything left to show
No no I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
And love is not enough
Well it hides in the dark
Like the withering vein
We didn't give it a mouth
So it cannot complain
It never really had a chance
We'd never really make it through
I never think I'd believed
[instrumental]
[instrumental]
as black as the night can get
everything is safer now
there's always a way to forget
once you learn to find a way how
in the blur of serenity
where did everything get lost?
the flowers of naivete
buried in a layer of frost
the smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes
thought he had it all before they called his bluff
found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough
wanted to go back to how it was before
thought he lost everything
then he lost a whole lot more
a fool's devotion
swallowed up in empty space
the tears of regret
frozen to the side of his face
the smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes
I've done all I can do
could I please come with you?
sweet smell of sunshine
and when the day arrives
I'll become the sky
and I'll become the sea
and the sea will come to kiss me
for I am going home
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
talking to myself all the way to the station
pictures in my head of the final destination all lined up
(all the one's that aren't allowed to stay)
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
tried to overcome the complications and the catches
nothing ever grows and the sun doesn't shine all day
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way
He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He's got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed a god up and called it christianity
Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I will see you there
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name
Your god is dead and no one cares
Drowning in his own hypocrisy
And if there is a hell I will see you there
Burning with your god in humility
Will you die for this?
he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity

drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell i will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants
slave screams thinks he has something to say
slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen
slave screams he's being beat into submission
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the devils of truth steal the souls of the free
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness is slavery
slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
slave screams he claims he has his own identity
slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the blind have been blessed with security
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness is slavery
i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been
human junk just words and so much skin
stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine

kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky and i was feeling some
feelings
you wouldn't believe sometimes i don't believe them myself and i
decided i was
never coming down. just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was
just about
too small to see. but i watched it way too long and that dot was
pulling me
down.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
well shut up so what what does it matter now. i was swimming in the
haze now i
crawl on the ground. and everything i never liked about you is kind of
seeping
into me. try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything
works
out ("I guess the jokes on me." she said)
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody
i used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide.
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody
i'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my
eye. and
all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why. and
what i
used to think was me is just a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

Need you
Dream you
Find you
Taste you
Fuck you
Use you
Scar you
Break you
Use me
Hate me
Smash me
Erase me
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here
Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am
Tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been
Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am
Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything

i want to fuck you like an animal
like an animal
like an animal
you let me violate you you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you you let me complicate you
help me i broke apart my insides help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me help me get away from myself
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex i can smell
help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
i drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason i stay alive
you get me closer to god
help me get away from myself
you get me closer to god
help me get away from myself
you get me closer to god
This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay
I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
Like cancer in the system
I've got a little suprise for you
Something inside of me has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there did you not realize
This thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes i think i could
Burn
I look down there where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
Saw your lives burned up around you
I can take it all away
Something inside of me has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there did you not realize
This thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes i think i could
I'm gonna burn this whole world down
I never was a part of you burn
I am the agent i never was a part of you burn
I am corruption i never was a part of you burn
I am the angel i never was a part of you burn
Of your destruction i never was a part of you burn
I am subversion i never was a part of you burn
Secret desire i never was a part of you burn
I am your future i never was a part of you burn
intrumental
I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it's you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through
And on (And on)
This goes on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
This goes on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on
Now that I've decided not to stay
I can feel me start to fade away
Everything is back where it belongs
I will be beside you before long
Oooh we will never die

I tried to get so high,
I made it 10 miles high,
I'm gonna get so high,
I'm gonna get so high,
You'll never get inside,
I swore I'd never turn into you,
I'm going to all the time,
I made it 10 miles high,
If you're not truthfull I'm not a lie,
I swore to god I would never turn into you,
I'm getting closer,
All the time.
Tear it all down.

production: flood and trent reznor
I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming
the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore
all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
that me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear
hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away
it won't give up it wants me dead
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
well i think i'm gonna push it as far as it will go.
give in to desire.
only you will know.
so tell me all your secrets.
i'll stick it in your head.
i wish i could remember everything she said.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
well she can be my savior with everything she does.
or some kind of punishment for people just like us.
i don't really believe she understands what's happening to me.
the sooner that she gets it the better it will be.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
purest feeling.
i have got it figured out. (i should have known all along).
i can't live without her.
purest feeling.
smiling in thier faces
while filling up the hole
so many dirty little places
in your filthy little worn out
broken down see through soul
baby's got a problem
tries so hard to hide
got to keep it on the surface
because everything else is dead on the other side
teeth in the necks of everyone you know
you can keep on sucking until the blood won't flow
when it starts to hurt it only helps it grow
taking all you need
(but not this time)
no, you don't
and just for the record
just so you know
I did not believe
that you could sink so low
you think that you can beat them
I know that you won't
you think you have everything
but no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
Well it's happening
Never planned on this
You've got something I need
Kind of dangerous
And I'm losing control
I'm not used to this
What you want from me
I'm not used to this
I can't shut it off
This thing I've begun
And it's hard to tell
Just where it's coming from
And it's hard to see
What I'm capable of
And it's hard to believe
Just, what I've become
Hey, can we stop
Me, I'm not
Hey, can we stop
Me, I'm not
Hey, can we stop
Me, I'm not
Hey, can we stop
Me, I'm not
I can swallow it down
Keep it all inside
I define myself
By how well I hide
I feel it coming apart
I woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of footprints
from where I ran away
it seems everything I've heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)
sometimes, I have everything - yet I wish I felt something
do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
and in a dream I'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life I feel complete
and I still want to ruin it
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway
I hear them call
I cannot stay
the voice inviting me away
do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs...
I straight
I won't crack
on my way
and I can't turn back
I'm okay
I'm on track
on my way
and I can't turn back
I stayed
on this track
gone too far
and I can't come back
I stayed
on this track
lost my way
Nice and high and far apart
Just like they said
I built this place with broken parts
Just like they said
You chip away the old version of you
You'd be surprised at what you can do
I'm safe in here
Irrelevant
Just like they said
My voice just echoes off these walls
You feel me breathe
I am watching you
I see it all
The many ways you can't get to me
I see it all
I see the Hell you put yourself through
Oh the things I could do (if I wanted to)
My voice just echoes off these walls
My voice just echoes off these walls
I don't need anything at all
My voice just echoes off these walls
And I just slowly fade away
Breathe... us in
Breathe... slowly
Breathe... us in
Slowly...
Everything you do,
Everywhere you go,
Anything we want
Anything
Persuasion (slowly)
Coercion (slowly)
Selection (breathe)
Assimilation (us in)
Breathe... us in
Slowly...
I should have listened to her
So hard to keep control
We kept on eating but
Our bloated belly's still not full
She gave us all she had but
We went and took some more
Can't seem to shut her legs
Our mother nature is a whore
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism
Hypnotic sound of sirens
Echoing through the street
The cocking of the rifles
The marching of the feet
You see your world on fire
Don't try to act surprised
We did just what you told us
Lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
I got survivalism
All bruised and broken, bleeding
She asked to take my hand
I turned, just keep on walking
But you'd do the same thing in the circumstance
I'm sure you'll understand
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
In hi-def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my plan
Say your name.
Try to speak as clearly as you can.
You know everything gets written down.
Nod your head.
Just in case they could be watching.
With their shiny satellite.
I hope they cannot see.
The limitless potential.
Living inside of me.
To murder everything.
I hope they cannot see.
I am the great destroyer.
Turn it up.
Listen to the shit they pump into your head.
Filling you with apathy.
Hold your breath.
Wait until you know the time is right on time.
The end is near.
I hope they cannot see.
The limitless potential
Living inside of me.
To murder everything.
I hope they cannot see
bow down in position
against the polished steel
this is something different
you'll like the way this feels
no time for asking questions
no time for wondering
we've heard enough from you now
we've heard everything
we're going to play a new game
you'll put on this blindfold
you'll do what we tell you
you'll do as your told
used to be the leader
now comes the time to serve
maybe we show some mercy
maybe you get what you deserve
count down to the end
gotta make it come faster
right around the bend
is a coming disaster
count down to the end
and we're headed there faster
come on down my friend
it's time to meet your master
you've left quite a mess here
under your stewardship
you thought you'd figured it out but
you'll learn your place in this
might take some convincing
for you to see the truth
there are so many things
we've got in store for you
count down to the end
gotta make it come faster
right around the bend
is a coming disaster
count down to the end
and we're headed there faster
come on down my friend
I pushed the button and elected him to office
He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch in on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long
I'm sick of hearing about the have and have not's
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we are doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me
Well I use to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G
Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about
Ain't gonna worry about no future generations
And I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out
Don't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You hadn't had enough to know what its like
Your only angry cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head cause you know that I'm right..alright!
Well I use to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
Theres a lot of me inside you
Maybe your afraid to see
Well I use to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away
And well you might say
I'm losing focus
Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I can see right through myself
Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world that is
Cause it doesn't really matter anymore
(no it doesn't really matter anymore)
No it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore
Yes I am alone but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah
And I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked.
Yes it did!
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
Only
Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone, I kept picking at the scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through
Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now I know why, now, now, now I know why
Things aren't as pretty
On the inside
Everything
Is catching up with me
I awake
To find i'm not at all where I
Should be
And it feels
I'm getting to the end
And it's hard
To figure out what's real
And what's
Pretend
To break from what
We're tied to
God knows
How much i've tried to
And I am still inside you
And I am still inside you
I escape
Every now and then
And to think
I find myself
Back here again
And again
I used to know who I was
Untill you came along
I return
To the only place
I've ever felt
That I belong
To break from what
We're tied to
God knows
How much i've tried to
And I am still inside you
Getting a little erratic here
And I don't know who to trust
I guess they got a way of reading my mind
I guess I got to adjust
I've got my arms that flip flop flip flop flip
I got my head on spring
Well I thought I got you on my side
I haven't got fucking anything
I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller
And I got nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I'm afraid I am starting to fade away
Uh huh
I kind of see through the cracks when I press up on the wall
I'm not looking to stand up real high, I'd be happy to crawl
I think I'm losing my grip, but I can still make a fist
You know I still got my one good arm that I can beat
I can beat myself up with
Hey, and for what it was worth
I really used to believe
That maybe there's some great thing
That we could achieve
And now I can't tell the difference
Or know what to feel
Between what I've been trying so hard to see
And what appears to be real
Fading away
My world is getting smaller everyday
Watching all the insects march along
Seem to know just right where they belong
Smears of face reflecting in the chrome
Hiding in the crowd I'm all alone
No one's heard a single word I've said
They don't sound as good outside my head
It looks as though the past is here to stay
I've become a million miles a...
Why do you get all the love in the world?
All the jagged edges disappear
Colors all look brighter when you're near
The stars are all afire in the sky
Sometimes I get so lonely I could...
Why do you get all the love in the world?
you had all of them on your side, didn't you?
you believe in all your lies, didn't you?
the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you
believe
the ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he
deceives
the raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did you get so hard?
how did you get so long?
you had to give them all a sign, didn't you?
you had to covet what was mine, didn't you?
the ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly
realize
maybe it's a part of me you took to a place I hoped it would never go
and maybe that fucked me up so much more than you'll ever know
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did you get so hard?
how did you get so long?
what you gave to me
my perfect ring of scars
you know I can see what you really are
you didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
This is how it begins
Push it away but it all comes back again
All the flesh, all the sin
There was a time when it used to mean just about everything
Just like now, just like now
Breathe, echoing the sound
Time starts slowing down
Sink until I drown
I don't ever want to make it stop
And it keeps repeating
Will you please complete me?
Never be enough, to fill me up
Never be enough, to fill me up
Never be enough, to fill me up
Never be enough, to fill me up
Watch the white turn to red
It fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
All my life, yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
The world is over and I realize it was all in my head
Now everything is clear
I erase the fear
I can disappear
Please I don't ever want to make it stop
You can never leave me
Will you please complete me?
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
hey pig
yeah you
hey pig piggy pig pig pig
all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones you left me here I'm all alone
my little piggy needed something new
nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
hey pig
nothing's turning out the way I planned
hey pig there's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand
what am I supposed to do I lost my shit because of you
nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
nothing can stop me now
I am the voice inside your head
and I control you
I am the lover in your bed
and I control you
I am the sex that you provide
and I control you
I am the hate you try to hide
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
I speak religion's message clear
and I control you
I am denial guilt and fear
and I control you
I am the prayers of the naive
and I control you
I am the lie that you believe
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
I am the needle in your vein
and I control you
I am the high you can't sustain
and I control you
I am the pusher I'm a whore
and I control you
I am the need you have for more
and I control you
I am the bullet in the gun
and I control you
I am the truth from which you run
and I control you
I am the silencing machine
and I control you
I am the end of all your dreams
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
perfect little dream the kind that hurts the most
forgot how it feels well almost
no one to blame always the same
open my eyes wake up in flames
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light
smashed up my sanity
smashed up my integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do
covered in hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become
i tried
i gave up
I'm losing ground
you know how this world can beat you down
I'm made of clay
I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way
I'm always falling down the same hill
bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall I'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face
and if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
don't you tell me how I feel
don't you tell me how I feel
don't you tell me how I feel
you don't know just how I feel
I stay inside my bed
I have lived so many lives all in my head
don't tell me that you care
there really isn't anything, is there?
you would know, wouldn't you?
you extend your hand to those who suffer
to those who know what it really feels like
to those who've had a taste
like that means something
and oh so sick I am
and maybe I don't have a choice
and maybe that is all I have
and maybe this is a cry for help
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
don't you tell me how I feel
don't you tell me how I feel
don't you tell me how I feel
you don't know just how I feel
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky and i was feeling some feelings
you wouldn't believe sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was
never coming down. just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about
too small to see. but i watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me
down.
i was up about it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
well shut up so what what does it matter now. i was swimming in the haze now i
crawl on the ground. and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping
into me. try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works
out ("I guess the jokes on me." she said)
i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody
i used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide.
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody
i'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye. and
all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why. and what i
used to think was me is just a fading memory
There are things that I said I would never do
There are fears that I cannot believe have come true
For my soul is too sick and too little and too late
And my self I have grown to weary to hate
The more I stay in here
The more it's not so clear
The more I stay in here
The more I disappear
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur
Is there somebody on top of me?
I don't know I don't know
Isn't anybody stopping me?
I don't know I don't know
Well I'm trying to hold my breath
I don't know I don't know
Just how far down can I go?
I don't know I don't know I don't know
As I lie here and stare
The fabric starts to tear
It's far beyond repair
And I don't really care
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
he couldn't believe how easy it was
he put the gun into his face
bang!
(so much blood from such a tiny little hole)
problems have solutions
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash
everything's blue
in this world
the deepest shade of mushroom blue
all fuzzy
Gun fire in the street where we used to meet
Echoes out a beat and the bass goes
Bomb right over my head, step over the dead
Remember what you said you know, the part about
Life is just a waking dream, well, I know what you mean
But that ain't how it seems right here and now
How can this be real, I can barely feel
Anymore
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I am trying to believe
Blood hardens in the sand, cold metal in my hand
Help you understand the way that things are gonna be
There's nowhere left to hide 'cause God is on our side
I keep telling myself
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I'd listen to the words he'd say
but in his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
i can't shake this feeling from my head.
there's a devil sleeping in my bed.
watching you from across the way.
i cannot make this feeling go away
i know it's not the right thing.
and I know it's not the good think.
but kinda i want to.
i'm not sure of what i should do.
when every thought i'm thinking of is you.
all of my excuses turn to lies.
maybe God will cover up his eyes
why does it have to be this way?
why does it have to be?
why does have to be this way?
kinda i want to.
maybe just for tonight.
we can pretend it's alright.
what's the price i pay.
i don't care what they say.
i want to.
Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes
Sometimes I forget I'm alive
I feel it coming and I've got to get out of its way
I hear it calling and I come cause I can't disobey
I should not listen and I shouldn't believe
But I do
Yes I do
She turns me on
She makes me real
I have to apologize
For the way I feel
My life, it seems has taken a turn
Why in the name of god would I ever want to return?
Peel off our skin we're gonna burn what we were to the ground
Fuck in the fire and we'll spread all the ashes around
I wanna kill away the rest of what's left and I do
Yes I do
And nothing can stop me now
There is nothing to fear
And everything I'd ever want
Is inside of here
Ooh, I want, I want, I want, I want inside of here
Now I just stare into the sun
And I see everything I've done
I think I could have been someone
But I can't stop what has begun
When everything is said and done
And there is no place left to run
I think I used to be someone
just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched
the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm through
just to push you down
just to hold you down
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to thisback at the beginning
sinking
spinning
and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be
but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear this crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
I tried to sneak myself through, tried to get to the other side
I had to patch up the cracks and the holes that I have to hide
For a little bit of time even made it work okay
Just long enough to really make it hurt
When they figured me out and it all just rotted away
Don't you fucking know what you are?
Go on get back to where you belong!
You better take a good look cause I'm full of shit
With every bit of my heart I've tried to believe in it
You can dress it all up, you can try to pretend
But you can't change anything
You can't change anything
In the end
Remember where you came from, remember what you are
Don't you fucking know what you are?
did you happen to catch
or did it happen so fast
what you thought would always last
has passed you by
is everything speeding up
or am I slowing down
just spinning around
and I don't know why
all the pieces don't fit
thought I really didn't give a shit
I never wanted to be like you
but for all I aspire
I am really a liar
and I'm running out of things I can do
I'd like to stay
but every day
everything pushes me further away
if you could show
help me to know
how it's supposed to be
where did it go?
pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and lying
defying denying
crying and dying
where is everybody?
well okay, enough,
you've had your fun
but come on there has to be someone
that hasn't yet become
so numb and succumb
and god damn I am so tired of pretending
of wishing I was ending
when all I'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe I wish I could try
pleading and needing
and bleeding and breeding
and feeding exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and lying
defying denying
crying and dying
I let you put it in my mouth
I let it get under my skin
I let you put it in my veins
I let you take me from within
They tell us what we can and cannot do
Thinking is what I have this heard for
Well, I put you inside of me
But none of that matters anymore
Oh my God, can it go any faster?
Oh my God, I don't think I can last here
I am you and you are me
We will never be alone
I have finally found my place in everything
I have finally found my home
We can leave all the past behind
I can see right through the whole façade
I'm becoming something else
I am turning into God
Oh my God, can it go any faster?
I'd listen to the words he'd say
but his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away
na na nah
na na na, nah
na na nah
I am a big man
(yes I am)
and I have a big gun
got me a big old Dick and I
I like to have fun
held against your forehead
I'll make you suck it
maybe I'll put a hole in your head
you know, just for the fuck of it
I can reduce you if I want
I can devour
I'm hard as fucking steel, and I’ve got the power
I'm every inch a man, and I'll show you somehow
me and my fucking gun
nothing can stop me now
shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
I'm going to come all over you
me and my fucking gun
my god sits in the back of the limousine
my god comes in a wrapper of cellophane
my god pouts on the cover of the magazine
my god's a shallow little bitch trying to make the scene
I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype
I listened to everyone now I know that everyone was right
I'll be there for you as long as it works for me
I play a game
it's called insincerity
starfuckers
starfuckers
starfuckers, inc.
starfuckers
I am every fucking thing and just a little more
I sold my soul but don't you dare call me a whore
and when I suck you off not a drop will go to waste
it's really not so bad you know once you get past the taste, yeah
(asskisser)
starfuckers
starfuckers
starfuckers, inc.
starfuckers
all our pain
how did you think we'd get by without you?
you're so vain
I bet you think this song is about you
don't you?
don't you?
don't you?
don't you?
now I belong I'm one of the chosen ones
so impressed with all you do
tried so hard to be like you
flew too high and burnt the wing
lost my faith in everything
lick around divine debris
taste the wealth of hate in me
shedding skin succumb defeat
this machine is obsolete
made the choice to go away
drink the fountain of decay
tear a hole exquisite red
fuck the rest and stab it dead
broken bruised forgotten sore
too fucked up to care anymore
poisoned to my rotten core
too fucked up to care anymore
in the back off the side far away is a place where I hide where I
stay tried to say tried to ask I needed to all alone by myself where were you?
how could I ever think it's funny how everything that
swore it wouldn't change is different now just like you
would always say we'll make it through then my head fell apart and where were you?
how could I ever think it's funny how everything you swore would
never change is different now like you said you and me make it
You give me the reason.
You give me control.
I gave you my Purity.
My Purity you stole.
Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise.
Am I just too stupid to realize.
Stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies
It comes down to this.
Your kiss.
Your fist.
And your strain.
It get's under my skin.
Within.
Take in the extent of my sin
You give me the anger.
You give me the nerve.
Carry out my sentence.
While I get what I deserve.
I'm just an effigy to be disgraced.
To be defaced.
Your need for me has been replaced.
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.
[Bridge:]
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.
[Chorus:]
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.
God money's not one to choose
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
What you looking at?
Head down
Too late for that
What you want
What you get
Know your place
Don't ever forget
And this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I'll give anything
I'll give anything
Hey you
What you running from?
All your hate
What you've become
Bet you didn't think
It would happen to you
All used up
Half way through
And this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I'll give anything
It keeps growing
And i can feel it breathe
I have been trying
To behave myself
It keeps growing
And i can feel it breathe
I have been trying
To tolerate you
Well i am reaching the point
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I thought maybe
I thought this would go away
But it continues
The only constant
Every day
Stronger
I will use my voice
And i will use my fist
To destroy
Everything i can
Now i know
What this is all about
Now i know
Exactly what i am
These is a seed
Inside of me
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
(Help me)
I broke apart my insides
(Help me)
I've got no soul to sell
(Help me)
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God
You can have my isolation
you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
you can have my everything
(Help me)
Tear down my reason
(Help me)
It's your sex I can smell
(Help me)
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
Am I
Am I still tough enough?
Feels like i’m wearing down, down, down, down, down
Is my visciousness
Losing ground, ground, ground, ground ground?
Am I taking too much
Did I cross a line, line, line?
I need my role in this
Very clearly defined
I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself
And now it's starting up
Feels like i'm losing touch
Nothing matters to me
Nothing matters as much
I see you left a mark
Up and down my skin
I don't know where I end
And where you begin
I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself
I. Can. Not. Stop. Myself.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you know.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you know.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
I need your discipline
(And you)
I need your help
(Once I start I cannot stop myself)
I need your discipline
(And you know)
Because once I start I cannot stop myself
I need your discipline
(And you)
I need your help
(Once I start I cannot stop myself)
I need your discipline
(And you know)
Well you've got me working so hard lately
Working my hands until they bleed.
if i was twice the man i could be.
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
anything you ask you know i'll do.
but this one act of consecration is what i ask of you
[Chorus:]
ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me.
you just left me nailed here.
hanging like Jesus on the cross.
i'll be dying for your sins.
and aiding to the cause.
[Chorus]
wrap my eyes in bandages.
confessions i see through.
i get everything i want.
when i get part of you.
[Chorus]
ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
devil's flesh and bone
The sky is painted black
The smoke pours out the stack
One hand upon your heart
One hand behind your back
You train us how to act
You keep the fear intact
The imminent attack
Everything is right on track
And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away with it
Upon our plates to feed
The dying left to bleed
How much we really need
Your politics of greed
The cancer takes ahold
The wolf is in the fold
Our destiny's been sold
We do just what we're told
And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away with it
Your armies filled with hate
Believing your charade
Begin to suffocate
For us it's far too late
And we are letting you get away
they're starting to open up the sky
they're starting to reach down through
and it feels like we're living in that split-second
of a car crash
and time is slowing down
and if we only had a little more time
then this time
is all we have
do you remember the time we
and all the times we
and should have
and were going to
i know
and i know you remember
how we could justify it all
and we knew better
in our hearts we knew better
and we told ourselves it didn't matter
and we chose to continue
and none of that matters anymore
in the hour of our twilight
and soon it will be all said and done
and we will all be back together as one
if we will continue at all
shame on us
doomed from the start
may god have mercy
on our dirty little hearts
shame on us
for all we have done
and all we ever were
just zeros and ones
and you never get away
and you never get to take the easy way
and all of this is a consequence
brought on by our own hand
if you believe in that sort of thing
and did you ever really find
when you closed your eyes
any place that was still
and at peace
and i guess i just wanted to tell you
as the lights start to fade
that you are the reason
that i am not afraid
and i guess i just wanted to mention
as the heavens will fall
we will be together soon if we
will be anything at all
shame on us
doomed from the start
may god have mercy
on our dirty little hearts
shame on us
for all we have done
and all we ever were
just zeros and ones
shame on us (shame on us)
we knew from the start
may god have mercy
on our dirty little hearts
shame on us (shame on us)
for all we have done
and all we ever were
She comes along
She gets inside
She makes you better than anything you've tried
It's in her kiss
The blackest sea
And it runs deeper than you
Dare to dream it could be
With teeth
Wave goodbye
To what you were
The rules have changed
The lines begin to blur
She makes you hard
It comes on strong
You finally found
The place where you belong
I cannot go through this again
She will not let you go
Keeps holding on
She will not let you go
Keeps holding on
This time, I'm not coming back
She will not let you go
This time, I'm not coming back
this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down
real far.
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i'm the one without a soul i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't think you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i want to but i can't turn back
I've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we
have chose
you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you
awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we've found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear
the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of
you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you
all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on
you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and I'm the king
Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
You've become a virus
Just killing off his host
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard her cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean
Your time is tick tick ticking away
Your time is tick tick ticking away
Your time is tick tick ticking away
Your time is tick tick ticking away
Your time is tick tick ticking away
Your time is tick tick ticking away
i'm drunk.
and right now i'm so in love with you.
and i don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do.
lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars.
while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car.
nothing quite like the feel of something new.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up in you.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up in you.
maybe i'm all messed up.
this is the only time i really feel alive.
this is the only time i really feel alive.
i swear.
i just found everything i need.
the sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me.
well i want to wrap it up and swim in it until i drown.
I pick things up
I am a collector
And things, well things, they tend to accumulate
I have this net
It drags behind me
It picks up feelings
For me to feed upon
There are times, plenty of times
I wish I could let it go
But they start to breathe, and they start to grow inside me
There are times, plenty of times
I wish I could let it go
But they start to make me think things I don't wanna know
I'm trying to fit it all inside
I'm trying to open my mouth wide
I'm trying not to choke and
Swallow it all, swallow it all, swallow it all, swallow it all
I am the plague I am the swarm
All your hurt sticks on me
And I keep it warm
They will make me stay, they won't let me leave
There are so god damned many of them it gets hard to breath
I'm trying to fit it all inside
I'm trying to open my mouth wide
I'm trying not to choke inside
I am a good boy and I will
Swallow it all, swallow it all, swallow it all, swallow it all
Down on your knees
You'll be left behind
This is the beginning
Watch what you think
They can read your mind
This is the beginning
I got my mark, see it in my eyes
This is the beginning
Well my reflection I don't recognize
This is the beginning
We think we've climbed so high
Up all the backs we've condemned
We face no consequence
This is the beginning of the end
You wait your turn
You'll be last in line
This is the beginning
Get out the way
Cause I'm getting mine
This is the beginning
There are some ones that can help themselves
This is the beginning
May be too late as far as I can tell
This is the beginning
We think we've come so far
On all our lies we depend
We see no consequence
just when everything was making sense.
you took away all my self-confidence.
now all that i've been hearing must be true.
i guess i'm not the only boy for you.
but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
how could you turn us into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you.
i told you i'd never say goodbye.
i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry.
but that's what i get.
that's what i get.
that's what i get.
that's what i get.
for trusting you.
that's what i get.
why does it come as a surprise.
to think that i was so naive.
maybe didn't mean too much.
hey God
why are you doing this to me?
am i not living up to what i'm supposed to be?
why am i seething with this animosity?
hey God
i think you owe me a great big apology.
terrible lie
terrible lie

terrible lie
hey God
i really don't know what you mean.
seems like salvation come only in our dreams.
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.

don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to.
don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to.
hey God
there's nothing left for me to hide.
i lost my ignorance, security and pride.
i'm all alone in a world you must despise.
hey God
i believed your promises, your promises and lies.
terrible lie

you made me throw it all away.
my morals left to decay.

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
she spread herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
I am so impure
devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
I wanna take you baby
I wanna take you out
I wanna wine and dine you
Oh I wanna twist and twist and shout
I want you hot in my arms
So soft on my bed
You get the key to my heart
Oh when you wear that sweet dress
But you're too physical physical to me
You're just too physical physical no to me
I want your rough house baby
I want this right in your ear
You let me feel your danger
I let you make this feeling clear here
I want the touch of your charms
The heat of your breath
I wanna say all those things
That would be better unsaid
But you're too physical physical to me
You're just too physical oh
You're too physical for me
You're too physical to me
You're really jus- just too- just
Too really fuck no
You're just too physical
Too fucking physical
Oh you're too physical
Just too physical
You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart
Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn
You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
you wear our bones
our skin
We will not let you in
You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there
On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away
On hands and knees
We crawl
You can not stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl
We're in the building where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers
Like you
My Mallory heart is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real
Like you
The sound of metal I want to be you
I could learn to be a man
Like you
Plug me in and turn me on
Oh, everything is moving
I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
Singing, "I am an American"
Do you?
Picture this if I should make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you and how can I try?
Here inside I like the metal
Don't you?
All I know is no one dies
i can't believe that what i feel is really happening to me.
make it hurt.
and point the finger at my insecurities.
well i guess i just don't understand about those complexities in your mind.
and i guess i just don't understand why this world seems so unkind.
maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming.
maybe. maybe just once. i get what's coming to me.
so once again the way you feel will never ever stay the same.
and i'm to blame.
i wonder just who made the rules up for this game.
well i guess i just don't understand about what you want and what you need.
and i guess i just don't understand about how it has to be.
you sat down on this bed and you said
"Christ, what the hell do you think this place is?"
you know.
he just couldn't believe it!
and i said
"i don't know but it sure is something different"
so go ahead.
you say those thousand things you think you have to say.
look at me.
and tell me love's not such a hard word anyway.
well how can you count on me i thought you realized for sure.
and how can you just believe.
i thought i deserved just a little more.
oh God.
She's mostly gone
Some other place
I'm getting by
In other ways
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
Try to justify the things
I used to do
Believe in you
Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And i am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Have finally arrived
I am staying right beside you
I tried to stay away
You know
Just in case
I've come to realize
We all have our place
Time has a way you know
To make it clear
I have my role in this
I can't disappear
Or leave you here
Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And i am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Are waving goodbye
gave up trying to figure out my head got lost along the way
worn out from giving it up my soul i pissed it all away
still stings these shattered nerves
pigs we get what pigs deserve
i'm going all the way down i'm leaving today
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
still feel it all slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
everybody's still chipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
look through these blackened eyes
you'll see ten thousand lies
my lips may promise but my heart is a whore
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i know it's all getting away it comes to me as no surprise
i know what's coming to me is never going to arrive
fresh blood through tired skin
new sweat to drown me in
dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i wish i could put the blame on you
i want you to make me
i want you to take me
i want you to break me
Watch the sun,
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like,
Like it was a friend.
It is watching us,
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder,
If it feels the same?
And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilight
Dust to dust,
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person
If I could only do it all again
And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better a place
Hey man, please don't make a sound
Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you?
Have a little taste, no more time to waste
You don't want to get left behind 'cause it's all coming down right now
How hard is it to see, put your faith in me
I sure wouldn't want to be praying to the wrong piece of wood
You should get where you belong, everything you know is wrong
Come on, sing along everybody now
God given and He gives us sight and we see the light
And it burns so bright, now we know we're right
When His kingdom come and Thy will be done
We have just begun, we're the chosen ones
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Wait, step into the light, how can this be right?
I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave
Guess you cannot win with the color of your skin
You won't be getting in to the promised land
This is just another case, you people still don't know your place
Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
'Cause we are the divine, separated from the swine
Come on, sing along everybody now
God given and He gives us sight and we see the light
And it burns so bright, now we know we're right
When His kingdom come and Thy will be done
We have just begun, we're the chosen ones
And He gives us sight and we see the light
And it burns so bright, now we know we're right
When His kingdom come and Thy will be done
We have just begun, we're the chosen ones
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
God given
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love -
You take my body -
I give you heat
You say your hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind
You blow my head
Make love -
Inside your bed - everybody get down make love,
Get down make love -
Get down make love
Get down make love -
Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say its enough
In fact its too much.
Everytime I get a - Get down, get down,
Make love -
I can squeeze - You can shake me
I can feel - when you break me
Come on so heavy - when you take me -
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love
You can make everybody get down make love,
Get down make love
Everytime I get high
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get hot
You say you wanna come down
You say its enough

Everytime I wanna, get down, get down get down -
Get down make love
Get down make love

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
Help me
I broke apart my insides
Help me
I've got no soul to sell
Help me
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation
You can feel the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything
Help me
Tear down my reason
Help me
It's your sex I can smell
Help me
You make me perfect
Help me
think of somebody else
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My existence is flawed
Closer to god
Through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey
From inside your hive
You are the reason
I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around
Oh, no
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end
I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
wimp. wimp.
kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky.
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe.
sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was never coming down.
just then a tiny little dot caught my eye.
it was just about too small to see.
but i watched it way too long.
that dot was pulling me down.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
shut up.
so what what does it matter now.
i was swimming in the hate now i crawl on the ground.
and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
i try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out.
i guess the jokes on me.
i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody.
i used to have something inside.
now just this hole it's open wide.
used to want it all.
i used to be somebody.
i'll cross my heart and hope to die.
but the needle's already in my eye.
and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why.
and what i used to think was me is just a fading memory.
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."
rain rain go away.
come again some other day.
back stab
Disrepair
There's a big black hole
Gonna eat me up someday
Someday fades away
Like a memory
Or a place that you'd rather be
Some place lost in space
Itch in my head, that's telling me somewhere
Somewhere out there anywhere
I don't care
Get me out of here
If I could feel
All the pins and the pricks
If you were real
I could take what's apart
And put it back together
This will come true
Help me get through
Into you
Deep [x8]
All I can do
driving me through
Into you
Deep [x8]
One track
Get you on your back
Your skin speaks up,
but your lips couldn't say it
Right now
You know somehow
We could take a chance
We could make it (make it)
Right here
Make it all disappear
Everything we've been missing (missing)
You make me feel
There's a part of me, that I want to get back again
Make this come true
Help me get through
Into you
Deep [x8]
All I can do
Pushing it through
Into you
Deep [x8]
(Into you)
(Into you)
All I can do
Driving on through
Into you
Deep [x8]
You're slipping through
I come into
Into you
Deep [x8]
We could become
Two into one
Leave this behind
Over and done
Everything new
I'm coming through
Into you
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
They keep calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
The figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keeps on calling me
Calling me, calling me
Calling me, calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keeps on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit
I want a piece of it
I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
don't like the look of it
don't like the taste of it
don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down
maybe afraid of it let's discredit
it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
don't you feel a whole lot better?
Kind of hard
Hard to see
When you crawl
On your hands and your knees
With your face
In the trough
Wait your turn
While they finish you off
Don't know when it started
Don't know how
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines
On my face
After all this time
And i still haven't found my place
I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel any thing at all
I wake up
On the floor
Start it up again
Like it matters anymore
I don't know
If it does
Is this really all
That there ever was?
Put the gun
In my mouth
Close your eyes
Blow my fucking brains out
Pretty patterns
On the floor
That's enough for you
But i still need more
I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I can take it
Sideways
Sometimes
Some things
Feel like
I'm on the other side.
Waves
Of every feeling ever felt
...screaming
Hold it close
(So) I can take it
I've watched this scene a thousand times
And in my head
This is how it all begins
Yes, I am becoming
And this is how it all begins
What did you expect?
This is not an exit
This has begun
I can almost see
The blackest eyes
The new flesh
A new disguise
...welcoming...
Please
Give it to me
I can take it
Give it to me
You left your opening open wide
And you let everyone come inside
There's always something you've got to hide
So you lied, and you lied, and you lied
Make sure you grab everything that you need
You've got a hole that you've got to feed
You try to fill it all up with your greed
But it bleeds, and it bleeds, and it bleeds
Got take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Nobody burns quite as bright
Well goddamn, maybe you're right
There's always battles there for you to fight
And you might, you might, you just might
But there is something I gotta say
There is a price you know you pay
Try as hard as you can to stay
He's just fading, and fading, and fading the fuck away
Go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Better turn the lights down low
The cracks begin to show
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
And soon you will be gone
And we will all move on
You never mattered anyhow
This is how it begins
Push it away but it all comes back again
All the flesh, all the sin
There was a time when it used to mean just about everything
Just like now
Just like now
Breathe, echoing the sound (echoing the sound)
Time starts slowing down (time starts slowing down)
Sink until I drown (sink until I drown)
(Please) I don't ever want to make it stop
And it keeps repeating
Will you please complete me?
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Watch the white (never be enough to fill me up)
Turn to red (never be enough to fill me up)
It fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead (never be enough to fill me up)
All my life
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
The world is over and I realize it was all in my head
Now everything is clear (everything is clear)
I erase the fear (I erase the fear)
I can disappear (I can disappear)
(Please) I don't ever want to make it stop
You can never leave me
Will you please complete me?
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up
Never be enough to fill me up

I smashed myself to pieces
I am gonna fuck myself up
I'm sifting through the ashes
Oh what I have become
I gave myself away now I'm nothing
I let it slip away now I'm nothing
All that I can do is break myself in two
I fucked it all away now I'm nothing
Wave wave wave wave goodbye
I've tried to take this all just one step at a time,
I'd love to reason but I'll end this waver signed.
'Cause it's so lonely I feel like I have died
I thought angels never learned to say goodbye
Angel
I've felt emotions like I've never felt before
Felt such devotion that it's spilt upon the floor
Now I'm so empty there's nothing left to hide
I thought angels never learned to say goodbye
I've got to find you, and remind you how it is
My life's been shattered but inside I've found love exists
Now I'm so frightened, Im so afraid to die
I thought angels never learned to say goodbye.
Bye bye,
Bye bye.
Angel, Angel.
Now I'm so lonely, I'm so afraid to die.
'Cause I know that all the angels say goodbye
Angel
Angel
Bye bye, Angel.
Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most
Forgot how it feels, well almost
No one to blame, always the same
Open my eyes, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up inflames
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
Smashed up my sanity

Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do
Covered in hope and Vaseline
Still cannot fix this broken machine
Watching the hole, it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
Of the trust, I will betray
Give it to me, I throw it away
After everything I've done
I hate myself for what I've become

she spread herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within

oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
give it
devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness

Well you've got me working so hard lately
Working my hands until they bleed
If I was twice the man I could be
I'd still be half of what you need
Still you lead me and I follow
All of your back up to your chin
Over to the tip of your switchblade
As you pull it out as you stick it in
(twist twist twist) It can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) You make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) I love the pain
Well you just leave me nailed here
Hanging like Jesus on this cross
I'm just dying for your sins
And aiding to the cause
(twist twist twist) It can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) You make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) I love the pain
Wrap my soul in bandages
I'm tired of this war
Go ahead and cut me
I can't even feel it anymore
(twist twist twist) It can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) You make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) But I love, love the pain
(twist twist twist) It can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) I'm wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) make it hurt, make it hurt (hurt)
(twist twist twist) I love the pain

"supernaut"
originally recorded by black sabbath
(frank iommi, terance butler, william ward, john osborne)
officially re-released under the name of 1000 homo djs with
al jourgensen on vocals. ministry did this song live during
lalapalloza 92, and a demo version with trent reznor on vocals
is found on various bootlegs (most notably "suck" or "halo 00.")
lyrical there are few changes from the orignal. below is my stab
at transcription. suggestions welcome! sid (ssowder@indiana.edu)
practially every one of the top 40 records being played on
every radio station in the united states is a communication to the
children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. the psychedelic
jackets on the record albums have their own hidden symbols and
messages as well as the lyrics to all the top rock songs and they all
sing the same refrain: it's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun
but I don't want to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
and find a distant? man a-waving his spoon?
supernaut
supernaut
i've crossed the ocean,? turned every bend?
I found the? crossing near? a golden rainbow's end
i've been through magic and through life's reality
i've lived a thousand years it never bothered me
bothered me
supernaut
bothered me
supernaut
they all sing the same refrain:
it's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most
Forgot how it feels, well almost
No one to blame, always the same
Open my eyes, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up in flames
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
Smashed up my sanity
Smashed up integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what's left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do
Covered with hope and Vaseline
Still cannot fix this broken machine
Watching the hole, it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
Of the trust I will betray
Give it to me, I throw it away
After everything I've done, I hate myself for what I've become
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize

Down in the park
Where the machmen meet the machines
And play `kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called `five'
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war
But I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like "I was there"
Come to Zom-Zom's a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Trying to run
Oh look there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if he'd look the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
(CHORUS)
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
Down to the park
Where the chant is death
Death until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
[chorus]
A different face but the words never change
What a dumbass I am
I can't even rhyme these words
What a dumbass I am
I love napalm death
Even though napalm death sucks
Sucks large balls
Megadeth is way better
I hang out in malls
I'm an idiot
I watch looney tunes
I'm an idiot
I don't go to church
I'm an idiot
I like to smoke chairs
I'm an idiot
Shoot me please
I can't get a girlfreind
Because I suck
I like to screw goats
What a dumbass I am
I'm an idiot
I watch looney tunes
I'm an idiot
I don't go to church
I'm an idiot
I like to smoke chairs (don't ask me how)
I'm an idiot

Now you know

taking over, assisting with my revelation
empty spaces, as if it was an invitation
your invasion, exceeding every expectation
now i feed from the many mouths of your persuasion
resurrection, infection, as i fade away
theres no fear, there is nothing left to make me stay
fitting in my new skin, just tell me what to do
i'm defined, i am blind, i am a part of you

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
Help me; I broke apart my insides
Help me; i've got no soul to sell
Help me; the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God
You can have my isolation; you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith; you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason
Help me; it's your sex I can smell
Help me; you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
the sky is not the same
shade of blue
every single thing
i believe
isn't true
missing in the maze
of monochrome
how did i get here
how can i go home
the echoes of my eyes
of all they used to see
burning down the world
the ashes and debris
and all that's left of me
non-entity
try to stand in line
try to obey
the ghost of what I was
keeps getting in the way
staring at the sun
blinded by the light
now i'm afraid i'm fading out of sight
the echoes of my eyes
of all they used to see
burning down the world
the ashes and debris
and all that's left of you
and all that's left of me
all have washed away
I'm just a copy of a copy of a copy
Everything I say has come before
Assembled into something, into something, into something
I am never certain anymore
I'm just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow
Always trying to catch up with myself
I'm just an echo of an echo of an echo
Listening to someone's cry for help
Look what you have just done
Why all the change of heart
You need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a...
Now look what you've gone and done
Well, that doesn't sound like fun
See, I'm not the only one
A copy of a copy of a...
I am little pieces
Pieces that were picked up on the way
Invented with a purpose
A purpose that's become quite clear today
Look what you have just done
Why all the change of heart
You need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a...
Now look what you've gone and done
Well, that doesn't sound like fun
See, I'm not the only one
A copy of a copy of a...
I'm just a finger on a trigger on a finger
Doing everything I'm told to do
Always my intention, my intention, your intention
Just doing everything you told me to
Look what you have just done
Why all the change of heart
You need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a...
Now look what you've gone and done
Well, that doesn't sound like fun
See, I'm not the only one
A copy of a copy of a...
Look what you have just done
Why all the change of heart
You need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a...
Look what you've gone and done
That doesn't sound like fun
Yeah, I'm not the only one
Haunted
The throat is deep and the mouth is wide
Saw some things on the other side
Made me promise to never tell
But you know me I can't help myself, no
Now I got something you have to see
They put something inside of me
The smile is red and its eyes are black
I don't think I'll be coming back
I don't believe it
I had to see it
I came back haunted
I came back haunted
I said goodbye but I --
I had to try
I came back haunted
Everywhere now reminding me
I am not who I used to be
I'm afraid this has just begun
Consequences for what I've done, yeah
I don't believe it
I had to see it
I came back -- I came back haunted
I said goodbye but I --
I had to try
I came back -- I came back haunted
I came back haunted
I don't believe it
I had to see it
I came back -- I came back haunted
I said goodbye but I --
I had to try
I came back -- I came back haunted
They tried to tell me but I --
I couldn't stop myself and I --
I came back -- I came back haunted
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
Stop
Just can't
I survived everything
I have tried everything
Everything everything
And anything
All the walls begin to dissolve away
Do your hands begin to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake?
And just do what you think you used to be
All begins to bend then break, break, break, break
Wave goodbye
Wish me well
I've become
Something else
Something else, something else
It's just the world
But this thing that lives inside of me
The sound that rocks awake, awake, awake, awake, break
And if he depletes what's owed to me
And he comes to grab and take and take and take
I am whole
I believe
I am whole
I am free
I am whole
I can see
Always here
Finally
I am whole
I believe
I am whole
Get down make love
Get down make love
