I was told to love you
I was told to try I was born to save you I was born to die I'll always be your scapegoat You'll never take the blame You never had a chance It was your soul to save I am your one night nightmare Pain is all you see The blood is on your hands I hope you're proud of me I was told to love you I learned how to hate I was born to save you Your choice became your fate You can't take care of yourself How could you care for me? I am your retribution When is my soul free? I never asked for mercy You told me to forgive The blood is on your hands I hope your proud of me And what I've done to set you free I can barely hold myself Fascination, stimulation, stronger as I learn By his hand, I understand I was told to burn Bastard son, your saving grace Left alone I found my place I find love in what I steal You should of left me rest in Potters Field I was told to.I was told to... Your beliefs turned me into this Bite the hand that feeds, you're so selfish Thank you mother for giving me this life I'll bring down the rapture Then we'll see who lies 02. Only
Everything is perfect
Everything is sick, that's it You can't tell me to stop it You can't tell me not to quit, that's it Revolve around yourself It's you and no one else Hard for me to stay Swinging moods that change From calmness to deranged Unpredictable, unpredictable You would see if Only You hadn't taken things out of my hands Only You never wanted to understand Clasing ways to live here Compromise for me I'm at both ends of the spectrum You're somewhere in the between Ah, come clean Crucified, terrified, sacrifice, my whole life If only... I can't contain myself I can't contain myself I just can't take myself 03. Room For One More
Fix the mental, as if that changes anything
Your heart is cured now, you're normal once again One confession, you thought that's all it took But redemption, doesn't let you off the hook One of us Can't erase the past to change who he would be One of us On a whim would act, then look for sympathy Not from me Hear me say... One more Chance to believe in That you can even the score One more Place at the table Always room for one more Room for one more Thing evil, is that just your normal gig Fueled by hatred, happy as a stuffed pig You're so lonely, everyone around you reeks Of indifference, thriving in their apathy Your schism, my distress Your failure is my success Squeezed out, kept me down What goes around comes around I can wait you out Patience is my virtue Call it payback, call it proper grounds What goes around always comes around, always comes around 04. Packaged Rebellion
In and out
Try to be What you see Anarchy Everything, everyone, everyman Rebellion But you can't make a move If you win then you lose Look at me to approve You're so hard, you're so real You got nothing Who laughs last? A question, not a task I ask, What's your reason, Do you believe in anything? I don't wanna how you're so driven I don't wanna know your influence I don't need to prove myself I just need to be myself It doesn't show how I'm trying to be It just shows who I am Gone, Take your packaged rebellion Move on, Revolution on your sleeve If you say, mean it If you mean it, do it You can't live your life through me Gone, Take your packaged Rebellion With the air you breathe Look around No one cares Who you are Why or where You're so blind, you're so dumb, you're so deaf Like a gun That you can't even shoot To the point that is moot And you don't have a clue You're so hard, you're so real You got nothing Who laughs last? A question, not a task I ask, What's your reason, Do you believe in anything? I don't wanna hear how you're so driven I don't wanna know your influence I don't need to prove myself I just need to be myself It doesn't show who I am trying to be It just shows who I am Gone, Take your packaged rebellion Move on, Revolution on your sleeve If you say it, mean it If you mean it, do it You can't live your life through me If you do it, live it If you live it, say it Action is the air you breathe I saw your act, it came and went As flaccid as an ex-president Your ideas are out of place It's anarchy with a friendly face Rebel, rebel, don't regret Screw 'em every chance you get 05. Hy Pro Glo
I...
Who, what, where, when, why, How many ways can you lie How many ways can you try How many ways can you die What am I gonna do I can't look at you What are you gonna do You're no hypocrite I bash my head against the wall everyday You'd bash your head against the wall anyway And then you'd turn around to see if I care But I can't, and I never did What'd you expect me to give You never deserved my respect How many ways can you try It burns a hole inside my mind What am I gonna do I can't look at you Can't look like you I'm no hypocrite What are you gonna do You love to look at you Don't have a clue You're no hypocrite You've hgot a hole inside that you have to feed You've got a hole you'll use to get what you need And then you look to see if I care But I can't, and I never did What'd you expect me to give You never deserved my respect You've got that look I wanna know You've got that look, the hy pro glo 06. Invisible
I'm wiping the slate spotless
I vow this is your final chance Almost all but little faith has been thrown out the window I promise to sustain my stance You've taken everything from the get go And you've given nothing in return Your sado-masochism has reached the ninth inning Still you're puzzled to see I'm concerned Struggling, to come to terms with This god-awful life that I live Stumbling, but still I try To get out from under your grip Transparent in critical moments You drop me when your hands aren't full You call yourself my closest friend Then you make yourself invisible My simmering blood is rising Primed and ready to explode Get off your high horse and come to the party I'll beat you into overload Only through your limited viewpoint You think you know how I exist Easy to turn my back on the system Hard not to be an atheist Back in the days when promises were made Equality for all You go by the word from the man who gives it Never expecting a fall Struggling, to come to terms with This god-awful life that I live Stumbling, but still I try To get out from under your grip Transparent in critical moments You drop me when your hands aren't full You call yourself my closest friend Then you make yourself invisible Transparent in cricital moments You drop me when your hands aren't full You call yourself my closest friend Then you make yourself invisible Make yourself invisible, make yourself invisible Make yourself invisible, make yourself invisible again Burn... I never should've trusted I never should've trusted I'm sickened and disgusted I never should've trusted What happened to me? 07. 1000 Points Of Hate
I hate you and you hate me
I cannot not look at you and breathe So full of hate that I can't see My funny vibe is hard to miss Your ignorance can't be called bliss I have to wash my hands of this My mind has never been so clear My hate for you, is one to fear Take a good look what do you see No friend to me, Jealously (It's me) I know how to hurt myself It's me that makes you hate me It's me that tries to break free (It's me) I know how to hurt you It's me thaat makes a move With what I say and what I do You walk through life deaf, dumb and blind But when it calls you'll have to find Why must we all be so unkind I can't believe it's come to this The marks I make you can't dismiss I have to wash my hands of this Me, you, who is gonna get it And you can't let it Drive you to insanity Me, you, who is gonna take it When all this hate explodes When all this hate starts to explode Deal with the hate inside That causes you the pain inside That turns into the rage inside That makes you feel like death inside 08. Black Lodge
Worship the ground you barely walk on
You give of yourself but your angels are gone Deny your body is screaming But your heart and your soul they're bleeding Just to fall asleep is a godsend Until your demons appear again I am a witness to your demise Your biggest secret is one you can't keep Lift up your head if you're only asleep You try to hold onto reason Why can't you see that you're leaving My love for you knows no distance But it can't fight your resistance I am a witness to your demise I am the one who saw through the lies Give me, The one thing you can't give Take me to The black lodge where you live Deny your body is screaming But your heart and your soul they're bleeding Just to fall alseep is a godsend Until your demons appear again I am a witness to your demise I am the one who saw through the lies My love has always been blind 09. C11H17N2O2SNa (Sodium Pentathol)
If one day you'd backed up a promise you made
We'd have to make it a holiday 'Cause we both know that day would never come again If one day your word was as good as gold It'd be too late cos I'd be too old I don't think a human being could live that long I never gave a damn I was never even a fan The only thing that makes me smile if your pain I don't even care When did you treat anyone fair? To say I'm not enjoying this would be insane Sodium Pentathol was an idea I had But what does the truth mean now To all the lost souls you've grabbed A mass delusion, there's no confusion Just a hypocrite Who'd never cop to it You're in total control and you're still a liar I can't drink from the cup I question your authority You gotta 'fess up You're in total control and your faith is tired I can't drink from the cup Where is truth in the trinity You gotta 'fess up If the affects you it's hard to tell You spent too many cold days in your cell Never been one to admit that something, might be wrong I never gave a damn I was never even a fan The only thing that makes me smile is your pain If I ever had the chance I'd kick out your chair just to watch you dance Irrelevant, your vanity prevents change Sodium Pentathol still sounds great to me An imitation of life buried in theology Cop to it You're in total control and you're still a liar You're in total control and your faith is still I can't drink from the cup 'Fess up 10. Burst
How much does an opinion weigh
Does it really matter what I say I can't be responsible Be yourself or be a tool Who cares what you expect What is politically correct? All my ideas are in bad taste Get off my case and... Judge yourself No one else I don't intend to offend I just offend with my intent Beauty's in the beholder's eye I just like the ugly side See things the way I do Walk a mile in my shoes Don't assume and damn it, don't praise me My thoughts would drive you crazy See things the way I do Walk a mile in my shoes Don't assume and damn it, don't praise me My thoughts would drive you crazy Kill someone, save a life Don't do drugs, drink all night Worship Jesus, praise Satan Opinions are all contradiction It's not a case of wrong and right You may hate what I may like Vice wersa, it's the same Just do it, no pain no gain 11. This Is Not An Exit
I know I'll never be free
Change doesn't come easy And if I'll never be free You'll live in hell with me Fear, a contradiction Co-existense, darkness brought to light My own skin don't seem to fit me right Pain is my way, of self expression A fatal choice that always hangs above Love what I kill, kill what I love I run, you run, you stop and then you take it I run, you run, I stop and then you get it I run, you run, you stop and then you take it I run, you run, I stop and then you get it From me, The one who's giant steps ahead of where you'd be What you don't see I know I'll never save myself Dying from this immortality This is not an exit I can never change it This is not an exit It's no way Out, out of touch with Mortal thoughts, humanity's a dream Things are not what they seem Hungry for you, but not to hurt you Hunger for the secret of your life I'm a timeless clock and you kill time This is not an exit I can never change it You stop and then you take it I stop and I can't fake it This is not an exit Pain is my way of self expression A fatal choice hangs above Love what I kill, kill what I love Love... This is not an exit This is not an exit I can never change it This is not an exit Hand over fist Come and taste my dark trick Hand over fist Kill you when I give it This is not an exit This is not an exit I can never change it |
