God money I'll do anything for you. God money just tell me what you want me to. God money nail me up against the wall. God money don't want everything he wants it all. No you can't take it No you can't take it No you can't take that away from me No you can't take it No you can't take it No you can't take that away from me Head like a hole. Black as your soul. I'd rather die than give you control. Head like a hole. Black as your soul. I'd rather die than give you control. Bow down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve. Bow down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve. God money's not looking for the cure. God money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure. God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised. God money's not one to choose 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 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. 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. 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 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. You know who you are.
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 Terrible Lie Terrible Lie Don?t take it away from me. I need you to hold on to. Don?t tear it away from me. I need someone to hold on to. Don?t take it, don?t take it, don?t. 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 lie Terrible Lie Terrible Lie Terrible Lie Terrible Lie You make me throw it all away. My morals left to decay. How many you betray? You?ve taken everything. 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.
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 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
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 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
It's still getting worse after everything I've tried, What if I found a way to wash it all inside? What if she touches with those fingertips? As the words spill out like fire from her lips. 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 sancitifed, inside you. Heaven's just a rumor she dispells, 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. And if she says come inside, I'll come inside for her, And if she says give it all, I'll give everything to her. I am justified. I am purified. I am sancitifed, inside you. I'm just caught up in another of her spells, While she's turning me into someone else. Every day I hope and pray that this will end, But when I can, I'd do it all again. And if she says come inside, I'll come inside for her, And if she says give it all, I'll give everything to her. I am justified. I am purified. I am sancitifed, inside you. I am justified. I am purified. I am sancitifed, inside you.
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 wanna sleep anymore. You make this all go away. You make this all go away. I'm down to just one thing. And I'm starting to scare myself. You make this all go away. You make this all go away. I just want something. 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 and tell me. You make this all go away. You make this all go away. I'm down to just one thing. And I'm starting to scare myself. You make this all go away. You make this all go away. I just want something. I just want something I can never have 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 and tell me. You make this all go away. You make this all go away. I'm down to just one thing. And I'm starting to scare myself. You make this all go away. You make it all go away. I just want something. I just want something I can never have. I just want something I can never have.
I can't shake this feeling from my head. There's a devil sleeping in my bed. He's 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 thing. Kinda I want to I'm not sure of what I should do. When everything I'm think of is you. All of my excuses turn to lies. Maybe God will cover up his eyes I know it's not the right thing. And I know it's not the good thing. Kinda I want to Kind 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.
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. Well, I get what I deserve. I'm just an effigy to be disgraced. To be defaced. Well, your need for me has been replaced. And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste. 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 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
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 me into this? After you just taught me how to kiss you. I told you I'd never say goodbye. Now 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 Why does it come as a surprise; To think that I was so naive. Maybe didn't mean that much. But it meant everything to me. But that's what I get That's what I get That's what I get That's what I get
I'm drunk 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 in you Maybe I'm all messed up 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 My moral standing is lying down 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 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 Maybe I'm all messed up in you This is the only time I really feel alive This is the only time I really feel alive This is the only time I really feel alive This is the only time I really feel alive
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. This one act of consecration is what I ask of you Ringfinger. Promise carved in stone. Deeper than the sea. Ringfinger. Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me. Well, you just left me nailed here. Hanging like Jesus on his cross. I'm just dying for your sins. And aiding to the cause. Ringfinger. Promise carved in stone. Deeper than the sea. Ringfinger. Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me. Wrap my eyes in bandages. Confessions I see through. I get everything I want. When I get part of you. Ringfinger. Promise carved in stone. Deeper than the sea. Ringfinger. Sever flesh and bone And offer it to me. Ringfinger. Promise carved in stone. Deeper than the sea. Ringfinger. Devil's flesh and bone Do something for me.

This world rejects me This world threw me away This world never gave me a chance This world gonna have to pay Well I don't believe in your institutions I did what you wanted me to And like the cancer in your system I've got a little surprise for you Something inside of me Has opened up its eyes Why did you put it there? Did you not realise? This thing inside of me It screams the loudest sound Sometimes I think I could Burn I look down at where you're standing Flock of sheep all on display With all your lies piled 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 realise? 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 I am your savior I am corruption I am the angel Of your destruction I am perversion Secret desire I am your future Swallowed up in fire
Someone take these dreams away that point me to another day A duel of personalities that stretch all true reality They keep calling me Keep on calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me When 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 Keep on calling me Calling me, Calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me
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 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 just wants to say hello to you my fear is warm to get inside of you my soul is so afraid to realize how every little bit is left of me take me with you without you everything just falls apart it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
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 through didn't quite fell apart where the fuck were you?
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 the day the whole world went away
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 you can try to stop it but
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 flow 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 we 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 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 nothing else means anything
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?d - but it?s too late for me I won?t 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 everything else I was like you
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 can't come back
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 no, you don't
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 nothing can stop me now
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 geat below I can still feel you even so far away
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
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 tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
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 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 couls 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 thare 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 where is everybody?
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 breathe, echoing the sound time starts slowing down 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 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 (well guess what?) 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 pleaseb complete me never be enough to fill me up
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 we ever 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 now I belong I'm one of the beautiful ones
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 I remember sometimes
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 it feels like it keeps coming from the inside
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 am stained
watching all the insects march along seem to know just right where they belong smears a 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 this 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? 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? why do you get all the love in the world?
I tried to send myself through -- tried to get to the other side I had to patch up the cracks and the holes that I have to hide found a little bit of time even made it work okay just found enough to make it really hurt when they figured me out and it all just rotted away don't you fucking know what you are? you all get back to where you belong you better take a good luck because I'm full of shit don't rebuild my heart I don't try to believe in it you can push it all out -- you can try to pretend but you can't change anything -- you can't change anything in the end don't you fucking know what you are? you all get back to where you belong don't you fucking know what you are? remember what you are remember where you came from don't you fucking know what you are? you all get back to where you belong
I pick things up... I am a collector and things... well things tend to accumulate I have this net... it drags behind me collecting feelings for me to feed upon there are times... plenty of times I wish I could let it go It's time to breathe and it's time to grow inside me there are times... plenty of times I wish I could let it go but this time too many to think... things I don't want no I'm trying to fit it all inside I'm trying the whole thing on my plate I'm trying not to choke and swallow it all... swallow it all... swallow it all... swallow it all... I am the pig I am the swarm all your heart sticks on me and I'm keepin' it raw they will make me stay they won't let me leave there are so goddamn many of them it gets so hard to breathe I'm trying to fit it all inside I'm trying the whole thing on my plate I'm trying not to choke inside I am a big boy and I will swallow it all... swallow it all... swallow it all... swallow it all... Every last one...
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, it is 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 you 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 is a price to be paid for the blood, on which we dine justified in 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 you 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 and on... will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees? will you bite the hand that feeds?
the more that we take the paler we get i can't remember what it is we try to forget the towel on the floor so cold it could sting in your eyes is a place worth remember for you to go and take this and 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 've you anything left to show? no... no.. i didn't think so hey the sooner we realise 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 could not complain you never really had a chance we'll never really make it through an everything i believe i believed i could get better with you hey the closer we think we are well it never got us so far now you've got anything left to show? no... no.. no... no.. i didn't think so hey the sooner we realise we cover ourselves with lies but underneath we're not so tough and love is not enough love is not enough... hey...
i believe i can see the future because i repeat the same routine i think i used to have a purpose then again that might have been a dream i think i used to have a voice now i never make a sound and i just do what i have been told i really don't want them to come around oh no... 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... sometimes... yeah, i still pretend i cannot remember how this got started oh... but i can tell you exactly how it will end every day is exactly the same there is no love here and there is no pain every day is exactly the same 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 am still inside... a little bit comes breathing through i wish this could've been any other way but i just don't know... i don't know what else i can do every day is exactly the same there is no love here and there is no pain every day is exactly the same
she comes along she gets inside she makes you better than anything you've tried consealed in her kiss the blackest sea and it runs deeper than you dare to dream it could be wi-th tee-th... wave goodbye to what you were the roles are changed the lines begin to blur she you hard it comes on strong you finally found the place where you belong wi-th tee-th... i cannot go through this again... wi-th tee-th... she'll will not let you go keeps holding on this time I'm not coming back she'll will not let you go
I'm becoming less defined as days go by fading away and well you might say I'm losing focus kind of drifting to the abstract in terms of how i see myself sometimes i think i can see right through myself less concerned about fitting into the world you're world that is 'cause it doesn't really matter anymore none of this sh... and yes i am alone then again i always was as far back as i can tell i think maybe it's because... you were never really real to begin with i just made you up to hurt myself yeah, 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 fucking you there is only me only... well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned 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... picking at this scab it was a doorway trying to seal itself shut, but i climbed through no I'm somewhere i am not supposed to be and i can see things i know i really shouldn't see and now i know why... n-now i know why things aren't as pretty on the inside there is no you there is only me there is no fucking you there is only me only...
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've got to adjust I've got my arms that flip flop flip flop flip i got my hair on a 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 try to stand out I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller and I've got nothing to say it's all been taken away i just behave and obey I'm afraid I'm starting to fade away uh huh.. i cannot see through the cracks when i was 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've still got my one good arm and i can... mmm i can beat myself for this I'm just a face in the crowd nothing to worry about not even try to stand out I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller and I've got nothing to say it's all been taken away i just behave and obey I'm afraid that I'm starting to fade away hey and for what it is worth i used to really believe but maybe that's some great thing that we could achieve and now i can't tell the difference don't know what to feel between what I've been trying so hard to see and what appears to be real I'm fading away... my world is getting smaller every day and that's okay...
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 his way i hear it calling and i come because i can't disobey i should not listen and i should not believe but i do she turns me on she makes it 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 want to kill all the rest of what's left and i do she turns me on she makes it real i have to apologize for the way i feel and nothing can stop me now there is nothing to fear and everything I'd ever want is inside of here no... no... no... no... 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 and now i just stare into the sun
there are things that i said i would never do there are fears that i cannot believe will come true so my soul is too sick and too little not too late and myself... i have grown too weary to mate 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 anyone stopping me i don't know... i don't know... why am i 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 in still the fabric starts to tear it's far beyond repair and i don't even care 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
i am all alone this time around sometimes on my side i hear a sound places parallel i know it's you feel the little pieces bleeding through and on... this goes 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... now that I've decided not to stay i can feel me start to fade away everything is back where it belong i will be beside you before long and on... this goes 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... we will never die... beside you in time...
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're 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 what it seems? what if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream? and if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be? what if you could look right through the crack? 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 and the living and the dead and you really are alone you can live in this illusion you can choose to believe you keep looking but you can't find words are you hiding in the trees? what if everything around you isn't quite what as seems? what if all the world you used to know is an elaborate dream? and if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be? what if you could look right through the cracks? would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?
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 And I am still inside you
Hyperpower! Hyperpower! Hyperpower! Hyperpower!
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 My reflection I don't recognize This is the beginning We think we climb so high All up the backs we've condemned We face our 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 God helps the ones that 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 face our consequence This is the beginning of the end
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 I got survivalism You got your pacifism - I got survivalism
Gun fire in the street Where we used to meet Echos 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 I know what you mean But that ain't how it seems right here right now How can all 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 Maybe held you understand The way that things will be There's nowhere else 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 am trying to believe No one's even sure What we're fighting for Or who we even are Anymore I feel So far away
I let you put it in my mouth I let it get under my skin I let you pump it through my veins I let you take me from within They tell you what we can and cannot do Same thing we've heard a hundred times before When I put you inside of me None of that matters anymore My god Can I go any faster?

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 From 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 Do 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 In this twilight And one little extra
They're starting to open up the sky They're starting to reach down through And it feel 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 And this time Is all there is 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 this 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've 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 light starts 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've done And all we ever were Just zeros and ones
How did I slip into (this)?
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 don't feel any thing at all
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 a hold 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 We are letting you get away with it
Am I still tough enough? Feels like I'm wearing down Is my viciousness Losing ground? Am I taking too much Did I cross a 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 Once I start I cannot stop myself
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
You 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 I'll give anything
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 They used to do Believe in you Watching you drown I'll follow you down 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 Just in case I've come to realize We all have our place Time 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 I am here right beside you The lights in the sky Are waving goodbye I am staying right beside you
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 There is a seed Inside of me That makes me
