Picking Scabs
01:34
|
|||
This little boy inside me
Wants to escape
But the fear keeps him hiding
Behind red drapes
Is it in his head?
Is it in my hands?
Will he turn up dead?
Will I take the stand?
The boy is in a frenzy
'Cause he can't grab
He is completely bloody
From picking scabs
Is it his future?
Is it in my past?
Will he find closure?
Will I come in last?

The Tide Has Come In
03:03
|

Don't come here looking for an identity
Copies of another is just blasphemy
Latching onto her to fill your fantasy
All that you have left is your anxiety
The tide has come in to wash you all away
Everything that's happened has led you astray
There are no bright colors cause you turned them grey
Find another victim who will be your prey
Everybody knows that you're an amateur
Prop yourself and pretend you're a gatekeeper
Stories doesn't need another narrator
No one will believe the tint is sinister
The tide has come in to wash you all away
Everything that's happened has led you astray
There are no bright colors cause you turned them grey
Find another victim who will be your prey
Every line contaminates the atmosphere
Every line you mutter is so insincere
We will not be labeled as your souvenir
Now it's time for you to finally disappear
The tide has come in to wash you all away
Everything that's happened has led you astray
There are no bright colors cause you turned them grey
Find another victim who will be your prey

Matrimony Mourning
02:38
|
|||
I have seen many faces
With their painted smiles
All of them staring at me
Walking down the aisle
I feel so fucking nervous
This is my first time
I've joined the family circus
Well within my prime
Getting keys to out first house
We were full of bliss
It felt all nice and toasty
Just like our first kiss
And then we had a baby
Then it became two
Mouths to feed when they're hungry
All I could for you
You caught me in a weak spot
Tried to make me quit
Everything to cause trouble
Treating me like shit
Paint yourself as a victim
With your fake crying
You held my heart for ransom
Now I'm in mourning

I have found a higher level
Locked inside my fucked up brain
Reaching for a godsent being
While I'm washing down the drain
Eat my love upon the table
While you cleanse the endless soul
Manic feelings push me over
And I'll snap and lose control
Taste the sounds that's feeling hopefiul
Come and watch the colors drip
Swarm around 'cause time's on my side
I fucking love it when I trip
What's the answer to the question
Here for me and then it's gone
The test is done but I ain't dropped out
'Cause I fucking turned it on

Can you feel it inside your heart?
Does it make you burst into flames?
Nobody will tear us apart
Try as they might they won't suceed
We've been on an ocean of love but it won't be drying up
They cannot leave us a residue
Winds in our sails to navagate through all the negative
They are the ones who need to be rescued
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
I know that you can see it clear
My soul belongs only to you
It is a gift I know you'll keep
There are many people who will try to openm up the box
But they will see nothing is inside
They are blind to what it really means to have true love
It's destination they just can't decide
I know that we stand side by side
That's the promise that we will keep
Certain people will try to shame
Look down on us as lunatics
"Me and you against the world" will be our single battlecry
We are going to shout for all to hear
There is a force you can't ignore between the both of us
It is a boundry that they can't get near

Ego Smasher
01:30
|
|||
Your throne's gone and your crown is falling
From your head and you don't stop calling
There's no doubt that you are the focus
Build a wall and can't get around it
Your ego's high in a state of mind
And I just want to go tear it down
Brick by brick, piece by piece, unconfined
Smash you into bit 'till you leave town
I don't care about all your money
'Cause to me your ass still looks funny
Your empire one day will crumble
Was it worth to take such a gamble?
Your ego's high in a state of mind
And I just want to go tear it down
Brick by brick, piece by piece, unconfined
Smash you into bit 'till you leave town

Debutantes And Parasites
05:52
|
|||
Wallowing in my sadness
Tired of burying my friends
All I do is choke back tears
This is real and not pretend
What does life mean?
When we all die
We're all born free
Then hatch houseflies
There's no justice in the world
When the innocents are gone
How can you prove it to me?
That I should let life move on
Full of anger
Left with nothing
Fuck your prayers
Leave them rotting
Why give us an entity?
And treat them like dynamite
All you do is make way for
Debutantes and parasites
Such a sick joke
We're the punchline
All up in smoke
There's no sunshine

No Friend Of Mine
03:32
|
|||
I have to find inner strength
Tolerance ain't what I need
I can't keep you at arm's length
Everything is just your greed
How did this all come apart?
I will take this as a sign
Even though it breaks my heart
You became no friend of mine
It started with a handshake
'Cause we were both all alone
Now it is a huge mistake
You're the one I will disown
No longer a young upstart
Marching in a crooked line
You think you're so goddman smart
You became no friend of mine
Nothing was ever your fault
Everyone else was to blame
No one is inside your vault
I'm tired of playing this game
You should look at your flowchart
Numbers have slowly declined
I say this as I depart
"You became no friend of mine"

Return To Nothing
04:24
|
|||
I never say the beauty
Within your soul
I succumbed to a frenzy
And hit the pole
I asked you to the orgy
But scored no goal
It made me feel so empty
Down in a hole
When I return to nothing
My head explodes
When I return to nothing
I can't reload
When I return to nothing
At the crossroad
When I return to nothing
Back to zero
How could I ever tell you
I did not care
What should have been the first clue?
Of what I dare
There was no way to be true
I was not fair
You simply was just a screw
On this I swear
When I return to nothing
Stand at the gate
When I return to nothing
I'm what I hate
When I return to nothing
Can't set me straight
When I return to nothing
I'll find the date
One day I'll lay in my grave
Covered in dirt
I can't tell which one I crave
Who will I hurt?
There's not alot that I save
Ask the expert
I have become my own slave
An old pervert
When I return to nothing
And miss your call
When I return to nothing
Against the wall
When I return to nothing
Watch myself fall
When I return to nothing
I'll end it all

You're the most beautiful girl
With a skin as smooth as silk
Do you know you're just my type?
I'm so thirsty for your milk
You are snugglled close to me
Wrap my arms so tenderly
I'm brushing your long blond hair
You're the answer to my prayer
I saw you and fell in love
Pulled in by your gravity
Shy at first but kept my cool
I could feel the chemistry
Marvel at your nude body
Eat you like cotton candy
I'm brushing your long blond hair
To show you how much I care
I've shown you infinity
You found out what rrhymes with breath
I took obession too far
I told you what what rrhymes with death
You have your head in my lap
You have fell into my trao
I'm brushing your long blond hair
But your body is not there

Measured Dose
02:25
|
|||
I've made a big mistake
By telling you my secrets
I am here wide awake
Discovering old habits
I'm trying not to shake
The grain will short my circuits
There is no more daybreak
The lightbulb burned the socket
What's the answer
Do I want to see
Where's the jailor
Does he want to speak
There's a hunger
Which is why I'm weak
Every dollar
Goes into the drink
It happens every night
I end up in the bottle
A struggle and a fight
The urge is too colossal
I know I'm losing sight
My wants and needs are wasteful
Please let me have the might
I'm too far deep in trouble
There's no such thing
As a measured dose
Try to drain me
But it won't come close
I'm not falling for my own pathos
Never healing
Live my life morose
