I am a dominant gene- Live as I die
Never say forever cuz forever's a lie
I can see right through you so I can't ignore you
The story changes but the ending will bore you

I tried to tell you but you simply obeyed
They didn't listen so they threw you away

Now all you do is talk - I don't wanna hear your bullshit
Is this what you want?!

This is where it begins
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends

They called us a dead generation, they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that shit to our face

30/30-150 Remembers 30/30-150 HATES

In my own peculiar way I feel mercurial
Before I get ahead of myself again
I know the where but I still don't know the when

You wanna live in a one sided world
Be prepared for a whole other herd
Now with the grand facade
I dont want to be an angel
I just want to be GOD

They called us a dead generation, they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that shit to our face

30/30-150 Remembers 30/30-150 HATES (HATES)

OHHHHHHHH
I am a fucking machine fueled by the past
Memory's a memory until it's a fact
I can bury the hatchet and let some shit go
But I got too many grudges to hold!

Saw a lot of people die in the end
I never want to walk that road again
Now I will never give up
I don't want to have it all, I JUST WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH

This is where it begins
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends

They called us a dead generation, they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that shit to our face

30/30-150 Remembers 30/30-150 HATES

Can you take away every single day?
That we have given to another false prophet
Can you give us all a reason not to fall?
Before you take away another broken promise

Show your pretty face
Hide the bitter taste
You’re still the rapist of an entire nation
You wanna be the man you gotta beat the man
But you were nothing but a sad insinuation
(Oooooh)
How can we ever live this down?
(Oooooh)
How can we ever live this down?

Keep your fingers crossed
The truth is at a lost
Big decision for an ordinary coward
The only problem is your fucking rhetoric
We’re more in danger then before you took power

Now it’s just a game
God you'll never change
You’d sell us out if you could only find a buyer
You don’t give a shit
As long as idiots
Are in your corner you could set us all on fire
(Oooooh)
How can we ever live this down?
(Oooooh)
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be
They only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free
But what the hell is free about it?!

Now we reached the end
Just get it over with
But this is building to an adament conclusion
Come what ever may
There’s gonna be a day
When we have figured out a possible solution

Every thing you've done
Is killing everyone
A little smile on a homicidal bastard
You wanna be a man
You gotta have a plan
Another failure is a guarenteed disaster
(Oooooh)
How can we ever live this down?
(Oooooh)
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be
They only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free
She only wanted the world
You never wanted me
They only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free
But what the fuck is free about it?!
What the fuck is free about it?!
What the fuck is free about it?!

I’m not a victim,
till I let you take me down.
I'm not a target at the sites of your mercy,
I never asked for anything,
I'm not asking now.
I will not be afraid,
I will not be afraid.

I've done this on my own
and I don’t care what you do to me,
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long,
to let you take it away from me,
it's to late to stop me
cause I refuse to die.

I havent weakened just because i've shown my self
i've taken everything, except everything that’s forgranted
I'll leave hypocrisy for everybody else
I will not be afraid
I will not be afraid,

I've done this on my own
and I don’t care what you do to me,
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long,
to let you take it away from me,
it's to late to stop me
cause I refuse to die.

I’m not a problem
untill you make one out of spite
I'll give you hell and consequences for trying,
don’t want an enemy,
DON’T FUCK WITH MY LIFE

I will not be afraid,
I will not be afraid,

I've done this on my own
and I don’t care what you do to me,
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long,
to let you take it away from me,
it's to late to stop me
cause I refuse to die.

I've done this on my own
and I don’t care what you do to me,
I won't hand over ,
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long,
to let you take it away from me,
it's to late to stop me
cause I refuse
I refuse…... to die.
I refuse to die!

Freedom's just a word today
Freedom's just a word
When someone takes your word away it's seldom ever heard
So take a sentence full of things you're not supposed to say
Carry on, but don't write it down or you'll be gone

Love is just a song today
Love is just a song
When someone takes the song away
you seldom sing along
So take those lyrics serious and sing your life away
Carry on, but don't write 'em down or they'll be gone

All we ever do is talk
We like to ride but we never walk
We make it so damn easy
We get bored
Why can't anybody see what's good for you is good for me
I can't take your sillyworld
I can't take your sillyworld no more

Peace is just two fingers now
Peace was just a phase
When someone put it on a shirt
*you knew to count the days
So take those fingers tape 'em up and shove 'em up your ass and carry on but
don't try it now cause peace is gone

All we ever do is talk
We like to ride but we never walk
We make it so damn easy
We get bored
Why can't anybody see what's good for you is bad for me
I can't take your sillyworld
I can't take your sillyworld no more

We fight our instincts
We go to extremes
We fight our instincts
We go to extremes

We fought a lot (x13)

This one came from looking
This one opened twice
These two seem as smooth as silk, flush againt my eyes
This one needed stiches and
This one came from rings
This one isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care

Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, Cause I am Made Of Scars
Yes I am made of scars

This one had it comming
This one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my fathers and
This one you can't see
This one had me scared to death, But I guess I should be glad I'm not dead!!

Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

God, Don't you believe it

And I will find a way
Everything you are I will betray
Oooh, I swear that I will find a way
Everything you are's inside me

This one was the first one
This one had a vice
This one here I like to rub on dark and stormy nights
This one was the last one,
I don't remember how
But I remember blood and rain
AND I NEVER SAW IT COMING AGAIN

Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, Cause I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

That's what I'm made of!!!

I'm walking through your streets
I'm looking in your windows
I am elemental now
You'll never even know I'm there
I'm watching over you
I'm living in the shadows
I'm just a word to you
But I am very real
And cold...
Cold to all of this
Cold to how you feel
Cold to all your lose of reason

I AM EVERYTHING
I AM ANYTHING
I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY
I AM EVERYDAY
I AM GONNA BE...

I'm all there is to know
I'm all that you've forgotten
I'am enigmatic now
You never even knew my name
I'm dressed tragedy
I'm by design immortal
I'm just the last one left
I'm always here and old...
Old and very strong
Old as all you feel
Old as all the world around you

I AM EVERYTHING
I AM ANYTHING
I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY
I AM EVERYDAY
I AM GONNA BE...
REBORN (This is the start of something)
REBORN (This is the start of something)
REBORN (This is the start of something)
RE...BORN

I'm just a secret now
I'm just a vague illusion
I' a lie you tell yourself
That you never truly did believe
I'm a whisper in the dark
I'm a victim and the killer
I'm almost ready now
But you insist that I dont exist...
That I don't exist...
That I don't exist...
That I don't... EXIST

I AM EVERYTHING
I AM ANYTHING
I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY
I AM EVERYDAY
I AM GONNA BE...
REBORN (This is the start of something)

MOTHERFUCKER
MOTHERFUCKER
MOTHERFUCKER

What am I supposed to do now?

Reveal to me this ugly thing
I must've meddled by your head
It's getting out of hand again
Nobody sees it, but I can

You thought of everything, I bet
But did you think that I might die?
I haven't really smiled, and I don't know how long you know
Something's going to give again, somethings going to give again

I try to fight, but did you listen?
Even though you're gone, I'm never finished
I can never be your God
And I don't even think I want the job, anymore.

Say something, anything to me.
I did believe, but I have doubts
So many reasons to hold on
Conflicting interest is not it

I guess I'm better off in the end
Coz you were always there to blame
I havent' felt so bad, and I don't know how long you know
I can't get away again, I can't get away again..

I try to fight, but did you listen?
Even though you're gone, I'm never finished
I can never be your God
And I don't even think I want the job, anymore. (x2)

What am I supposed to now?
How am I supposed to live now?

All I ever did was try, but the story ends
So I guess I'ma have to die

Where am I supposed to go now?

Go ahead, and go away (x4)

Go away.

What am I supposed to now?
How am I supposed to live now?

All I ever did was try, but the story ends
So I guess I'ma have to die

What am I supposed to now?
How am I supposed to live now?

What am I supposed to Now?
How am I supposed to live Now?

How am I supposed to live?

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel, that is the question
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real, so much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember its just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

(Refrén)
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,
sitting all alone inside your head

(Refrén)
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you
(Znovu)

Who are the stars?
Who are the stars?
They lie…

I remember now, but I still have my doubts
I think it's gonna be today
Everybody came, but it's just not the same
Why did it have to be today?
Now my chest is tight - no, I am not all right
It doesn't have to be this way
Why does it have to be this way?

I DONT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG,
IT'S LIKE I'M TO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY

Freedom in a cage - no sun and too much rage
I don't know how much i can take
Push it down inside,but it knows just where to hide
I know that "normal" is hard to fake
BLeeding into life - it's like a thousand knives
Are slowly turning me into this
Why does it have to be like this?

I DONT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG,
IT'S LIKE I'M TO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY (x2)

I lost again, today...

I DONT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG,
IT'S LIKE I'M TO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY
LIVING WITH A CURSE, SOMETIMES IT'S EVEN WORSE
IT SLOWLY KILLS ME EVERYDAY
SOMETHING I DESPISE IS GONNA TAKE MY LIFE
I GUESS I'LL TRY AGAIN TODAY

Why - is everything so grey - is everything so strange
is everything so thrown together by mistake?
Why - is everything so contrite - is everything a plight
is everything so insincere and out of sight?

WHY - DOES EVERYTHING SEEM WRONG
DOES EVERYTHING LOOK DRAWN
DOES EVERYTHING SEEM BLASTED LIKE IT DON'T BELONG?

I wanna make it a way - I wanna make it a waste
I wanna make it a gross misadventure
I WANNA MAKE YOU ALL!
I WANNA MAKE YOU ALL!
I WANNA MAKE YOU...lie to me...lie to me...

When - did everything go bad - did everything fall flat
Did everything decay and lose itself so fast?
When - did everything succumb - did everything go numb
Did everything lobotomize what it's become?

WHEN - DOES EVERYTHING COME BACK
DOES EVERYTHING RELAPSE
DOES EVERYTHING SAVE FACE AND FIND ITSELF AT LAST

I wanna show you the way - I wanna show you the waste
I wanna show you the worst misadventure
I WANNA SHOW YOU ALL!
I WANNA SHOW YOU ALL!
I WANNA SHOW YOU HOW TO...die for me...die for me...

I wanna give it a way - I wanna give it the waste
I wanna give it the worst misadventure
I WANNA GIVE IT ALL!
I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL!
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!
lie to me...die for me...

Now - everything's a lie - everything's your lie
Everything's a face inside another lie
Now - everything's a side - everything's one side
Everything depends on just which side you're on...

This fluid feels like pain - This stoic mood is all in vain.
I reach into the dark - I tear this other me apart.
How many years ago - How many deaths I can’t let go.
My flesh is temporary - My god, extraordinary.

You.. can't.. kill.. MY.. MIND..
A man delivered
Can never make his way in darkness.
I know tonight will end, but I won’t give
This life away again.

Shifting through the same debris - Oh my father, call to me.
This smoke is in my blood - This hope is just no good.
Save me from my bitterness - Give me up, I did my best.
Shock this system full of shit - Mock this fucker lost in it.

You.. can't.. kill.. MY.. MIND..
A man delivered
Can never make his way in darkness.
I know tonight will end, but I won’t give
This life away.
I won’t give this life away again.

A man surrendered, can never find his own forgiveness.
I know my life will end, but I won’t give tonight away.
I won’t give tonight away again.

Whoa, yeah, yeah…

This fluid feels like pain - This ruin feels like rain.
I’ll reach into the past - My futures fading fast.
How many years ago - How many I let go.
My flesh is all I have - My face is happenstance.
This smoke is in my blood - This life is not enough. (2x)

I don't know how else to put this.
It's taken me so long to do this.
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight.

My muscles feel like a melee,
My body's curled in a U-shape.
I put on my best, but I'm still afraid.

Propped up by lies and promises.
Saving my place as life forgets.
Maybe it's time I saw the world.

I'm only here for a while.
And patience is not my style,
And I'm so tired that I got to go.

What am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?

Tell me I should stick around for you.
Tell me I can have it all.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.

I get to go home in one week.
But I'm leaving home in three weeks.
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry.

I'm following suit and directions.
I crawl up inside for protection.
I'm told what to do and I dont know why.

I'm over existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I dont really mind if I just fade away

I'm ready to live with my family.
I'm ready to die in obscurity
Cause I'm so tired that I got to go.

Where am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
You still don't think I'm gonna see this through?

Tell me I'm a part of history.
Tell me I can have it all.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.

I'm still too tired to care and I got to go. (6x)

Ah Come on!

You won't admit it but it's true
I'm happy without you
I turn away and let your drama pull you in
You always said I was a fool
But something carried through
I never wanna see your face again

So many problems left behind
I'm sorting out my mind
This idiot has turned into a better man
I found my soul in someone else
It doesn't feel like hell
Doesn't make me wanna kill myself

(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, Stop believing
That I end up right back in your arms
Now i'm bleeding, fucking seething
I was through with you a long time ago

Some people suffer for no reason
But they're the ones to blame
So walk away and let it go and save yourself
Before you tell yourself a lie
Just tell that one goodbye
How much more can you take before you fucking die?

(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, Stop believing
That I end up right back in your arms
Now i'm bleeding, fucking seething
I was through with you a long time ago

(No no no no)
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, Stop believing
That I end up right back in your arms
Now i'm bleeding, fucking seething
I was through with you a long time ago

Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer!

Seed, gotta let it grow, why ya gotta watch when I let it feed?
Better look into the mirror for the face you hide away, everyday
But I don't give a fuck; I let it roll - I smoke the old
Gotta run, gotta rend, gotta maim, gotta make it through another maze
STAY AWAY!

Please… wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, GET INSIDE!

Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)

Christ, have you seen this guy? Make ya sick, gonna peel away all the impurities
Cuz all you wanna do is keep curin' me, but I don't give a fuck I kill everyone
You'll be mopping up blood and guts and all the shit when I'm done
Isn't this fun? Gimme a gun and I'll tell you all the secrets I hide
BEFORE I RUN!

Please… wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, GET INSIDE!

Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)

(Solo: Josh)

Maybe if you look away, I can slip away, gotta get away (RUN, MOTHERFUCKER)
Right now I stare at shit, I'm a heretic, but I'll never give you none of it
Tied up in the back of the lab, laid on the slab, got the gift of gab, what'choo want from me?
I don't even know I got a damn disease, but I KNOW YOU WANNA KILL ME!

Please… wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, GET INSIDE!

Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)

You hold me inside your iris
like a terminal stain on life
You condescend to my primal brain
and twist me around like a knife

Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn…

You keep me hidden behind a curtain,
an audible human display
You feed me orchids to give me courage
and keep me in line with disdain

Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn…

I have nothing left for you…
you left me with nothing

I live at arm's length and die a little,
between your constants by day
I want my soul back before it's over,
I can't even wish you away

Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn…

I NEVER LEARN!!

I… can only hurt your case
It's written on your face
You always come to me
I won't be used, but…

I - can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up the door, oh…

NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE!
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE!
WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?

Stay… Away from who I am
Cuz I know what you are
I can't believe you're here
Then again, you know that…

I - can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul, oh…

NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE!
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE!
WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?

Stop… I know your goddamn game
It's always been the same
The story hasn't changed
Neither will you, but…

I - can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul

NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE!
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE!
WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?

I only wanted, only wanted just to touch you
I couldn't bear it, couldn't bear it if you leave
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter if I scare you
I only wanted, only wanted someone else's skin
To feel you there
Touch my face
Keep me whole
Help me see------ my life
Give me your life

I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the first one
I haven't ever, haven't ever been discreet
It isn't over, isn't over by a long shot
I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the only one
To feel you there
Touch your face
Keep you whole
Help you see------ my life
Give me your life

INCREDIBLE… AND CHEMICAL

Before I show you where the secret is
I want to turn you into this
I want to give you all my nothingness
I want to cover you with this

See my life… give me your life
Let me see… my life
Give me - your life
INCREDIBLE… AND CHEMICAL

HEAR ME!!

Remember all the times you bent our truth and crossed our lines?
All things considered, it was just our normal way of life
But somewhere in the middle, we got caught and dragged away
So my tribunal brings us here so I can fall today

All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fucking nonsense

I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!

I stand before you as a victim, as the system rots
I couldn't focus, so I staggered when I heard the shots
There are no labels and no rehabilitation here
You are surrounded by the very fucking thoughts you fear

All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
HEAR ME!!!

All - I have to do is
Stop - your fucking nonsense

I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!

I watch the hope I had disintegrate before my eyes
I take a minute and reflect on all your fucking lies
Behind the door, you have two choices, but you don't get to choose
You can survive or you can die - either way you lose

All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is

Stop - your fucking nonsense

I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!

Choose!

Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real - TO ME!
I'VE CONSECRATED!
I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT
I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN… BEFORE MY EYES!

And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this?
I couldn't have… oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside - OF ME?
I'VE DESECRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!

And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

(Solo: Josh)

And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, can you stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

WITHIN!

Come one and all and see the broken man, talking to himself
He sits and waits for something better, he'll never find it here
The people touch his hair and pinch his cheek; he can't even feel it

There it goes again, he's listening to someone
He hears the bitter laughter
And all he wants to know is…

Why------ does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try------ the inhale that makes the exhale so much better

He wipes his hands on anything in reach, he never feels clean
He shakes at night because his nerve is gone, every muscle hurts
Come one and all and see what happened…that broken man is me

There it goes again, I can hear it louder
It doesn't feel good anymore
All I want to know is…

Why------ does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try------ the inhale that makes the exhale so much better

NOW I KNOW I DISAPPEAR!
I CAN'T FIND MY WAY FROM OUT OF HERE!
EVERYTHING IS FADING ON ME!
SOMEONE TELL ME… someone tell me…
Someone - tell me

Why------ does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try------ the inhale that makes the exhale so much better

WHY?! YOU'VE GOTTA TRY!!

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

(Solo: Corey)

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on…
I'll never live down my deceit

Somewhere between my tongue and cheek
I can feel the hands on me
Pulls me in so we are face to face
I don't wanna see it…I don't wanna see

Hold my head up, can't avert my eyes
Spots and rats on me, I don't wanna see
Claw the ground up, get me out of this
Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!

And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and I left you, too

Chair is stained and I can't stay awake
Bring forth evidence to keep me sane
I can't keep this riddle locked inside
Seven ways to keep my secrets tied

Can't believe this, I belong in chains
Separated, it was me and something else
Now I'm numbing, get me out of this
Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!

And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / oh, but then I left you and…
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and I left you, too

(Solo: Jim)

Arms stretched out, giving thanks to pain
Spotlight looking down, I'm ashamed
Kneeling with my forehead to the ground
I can't help but flinch before I'm found

I DON'T NEED YOU! Can't you see behind?
Doesn't matter now - DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE!
Maybe made me, get me out of this
Never wanted this - NEVER NEEDED THIS!

And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and motherfucker, then I left you and…
And you left me / and I left you
And you left me / and I left you, too

SAFE! I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE!
SAFE! I JUST - WANT TO - BE SAFE!
SAFE! DON'T YOU WANT TO BE SAFE?
SAFE! WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME BE - SAFE?

Never even knew
what you meant to convey
You handed us a retrospect
'til you didn't have a thing to say
No one questions you
Even someone set out to do
Now it'snothing…
but dead and gone

LET'S GO

Better with a lie
than the world's ever seen You wanted all the recognition
until you lost the means
No one talks to you
Even someone set out to do
Take a number… your time has come

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE!

My excuses lay me down
My emotions make me drown
My endeavor takes blame
At least I have a name

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE!

Stuck to the dog, pissin' out both ends
I got a hundred lethal weapons that I call my friends
Ain't a person on Earth who could take my life
I wish they would so a man could get some sleep at night
But my design is a mixture of descent and decay
I see a monster in the mirror fucking everyday
Can a man ever wash his hands of blood?
Perpetual deja vu, isn't that enough?

Peel back the layers… and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!

See if you can relish if you close both eyes
Every time I make an issue of it, someone dies
Carried out like a hit man, set in stone
Don't know why I even bother to be left alone
In my opinion, it's a self-serving fucked-up phase
Got a picture in my wallet that I keep, in case I
Gotta go, gotta split, gotta make it to a higher level than this
But I could be wrong, what I say is wrong, what I really want to say is…

Peel back the layers… and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!

Run------ it doesn't matter,
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run------ I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again

Here's how it ends, just a bit too soon
River deep in all the shit I let myself get into
Doesn't anybody like it here?
Blank looks, television drama and no fear
Let another person fuck with your mind
I bet you become the person who will fuck in time
Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring
I feel you glaring, WHY WON'T YOU STOP STARING?

Peel back the layers… and see what I've become
Satisfied? Now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn't me!

Run------ it doesn't matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run------ I can't pretend
I put myself in idle hands again

GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!!

GODDAMN YOU!!

Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you
Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you
Must have been a bitch, must have been a pain
Take me off the "innocent"
Put me in your vein!

IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE

Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on
Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on
Mustn't take offense, mustn't take a bow
Used to be a derelict
Now I have to live with it!

IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
YOU CAME BACK, BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY

Trip my light fantastic
Rub me in your wound
I'm not broken, I'm not plastic
I'm no whore…
Used against me - use me up again

IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
YOU CAME BACK BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY

(sometimes I think I'm crazy; other times I know I'm not)

Got no time to time to time (once again)

You don't want me, you don't need me!

What a skeletal wreck of man this is. Translucent flesh and feeble bones, the kind of temple where the whores and villains try to tempt the holistic domes. Running rampid with free thought to free form, and the free and clear. When the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a laundry mat to sift and focus on the bigger, better, now. We all have a little sin that needs venting, virtues for the rending and laws and systems and stems are ripped from the branches of office, do you know where your post entails? Do you serve a purpose, or purposely serve? When in doubt inside your atavistic allure, the value of a summer spent, and a winter earned. For the rest of us, there is always Sunday. The day of the week the reeks of rest, but all we do is catch our breath, so we can wade naked in the bloody pool, and place our hand on the big, black book. To watch the knives zigzag between our aching fingers. A vacation is a countdown, T minus your life and counting, time to drag your tongue across the sugar cube, and hope you get a taste. WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL THIS FOR? WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON? SHUT UP! I can go on and on but lets move on, shall we? Say, your me, and I'm you, and they all watch the things we do, and like a smack of spite they threw me down the stairs, haven't felt like this in years. The great magnet of malicious magnanimous refuse, let me go, and punch me into the dead spout again. That's where you go when there's no one else around, it's just you, and there was never anyone to begin with, now was there? Sanctimonious pretentious dastardly bastards with their thumb on the pulse, and a finger on the trigger. CLASSIFIED MY ASS! THAT'S A FUCKING SECRET, AND YOU KNOW IT! Government is another way to say better…than…you. It's like ice but no pick, a murder charge that won't stick, it's like a whole other world where you can smell the food, but you can't touch the silverware. Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for. Humph, isn't that sweet? And we're all gonna die some day, because that's the American way, and I've drunk too much, and said too little, when your gaffer taped in the middle, say a prayer, say a face, get your self together and see what's happening. SHUT UP! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! I'm sorry, I could go on and on but their times to move on so, remember: you're a wreck, an accident. Forget the freak, your just nature. Keep the gun oiled, and the temple cleaned shit snort, and blaspheme, let the heads cool, and the engine run. Because in the end, everything we do, is just everything we've done.
