Hush little baby...
Don't make a sound...
Hush little baby...
Don't make a move...
This is gonna hurt
Me more than you...

If I'm a danger to myself
just think what I could do to you!

Twisting and turning
my insides are burning
like larva feeding from the kill

The pestilence of decadence
I worship my emptiness
I'm ravaged by the damages of this hell

Eat the children! RAW!
Eat the children! RAW!
Eat the children! RAW!

Feasting on bait
as worms are asleep

Operators are standing by
Some restrictions
May apply
Side effects could include
We'll Steal the life right out of you

Descending, amending
But still I'm pretending
I regress to become one of them

They gave me this affliction
they heal to my adiction
I can't repress myself

Eat the children! RAW!
Eat the children! RAW!
Eat the children! RAW!

Feasting on bait
these worms are asleep

Operators are standing by
Some restrictions
My apply
Side effects could include
Steal the life right out of you

If I'm a danger to myself
Just think what I could do to you...

Role model number one
taught you how to shave.
Role model number two
took you to the PTA.
Tell us how to dress,
and teach us to obey!
but they never heard a word
that you had to say
For shame
FOR SHAME

'Cause I am vermin,
I'm the anti-christ!
just another lonely chapter
in the book of lies!

Don't they know
that they are the prey?
Don't they know
they are the prey?
Don't they know
that they are the prey?

Don't they know I'm predator?
Don't they know they are the prey?
Don't they know I'm predator?
Don't they know I'm insane?
Don't they know I'm predator?
Don't they know they are the prey?
Don't they know I'm predator?
Don't they know I'm insane?

Eat the children! RAW!
Eat the children! RAW!
Eat the children! RAW!

Feasting on bait
these worms are asleep

Operators are standing by
Some restrictions
May apply
Follow this simple rule
Torture them before the torture you!

These wounds cut deep
and I'm out for blood

Take me down
With there baptized drown
So they say!

Let's make my world

So they say
I killed a man
So they say
I took his head
So they say
He was discouraged
In all the world

Take you to the
Outer helm
Madness sound

Crooked spoons are every war
Genocide
Teenage needles
Everywhere

Why?
You need
You've taken everything

Why?
You need
You've taken everything

Let's make my world

Let them sleep
I need some more
Nooses made from human hair
Bodies falling from the air

Preach true
This is it
We're through with you
Columbine

Crooked spoons are every war
Genocide
Teenage needles
Everywhere

Why?
You need
You've taken everything

Why?
You need
You've taken everything

Where the baptized drown

I sleep to deep
For you to wake me
I sleep to deep
For you to wake me
I sleep to deep
For you to wake me

My wrists are kissed
Tarnished

Why?
You need
You've taken everything

Why?
You need
You've taken everything

The from your little tiny
Shiny in your eyes
In my veins shallow
A lone incarcerated soul
I sleep too deep
You to wake me up

If you do this
if you do this you'll never have a chance to try again.
if you do this you'll never have a chance to try.

It's the same sound
same sting.
The same collapse
of every thing.

It's the same size,
same blade,
the same lie,
..

My way
my face
my heart
my race
I'm a mistake.

My way
my face
my heart
my race
I'm such a disgrace.

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
like cracks in the glass
and flames full of grass

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
Let them come near when
Perfection's the key you need.

Let the .. loose, just try again
Let the .. loose, just try again

its the same doubt,
the same dream
it's the same sabotage
'cos i'm the enemy

it's the same night
same day
it's the same parasite,
feeding on the betrayal.

my way
my face
my heart
my race

im such a disgrace

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
like cracks in the glass
And flames full of grass

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
A work in progress
perfection is killing me

A disguise of self-deception
hides my secrets perfectly
i'm injecting my reflection
'cos i hate the way it judges me

Don't you do it
you're not healing you, yeah
Don't you do it
you're not healing you, yeah

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
like cracks in the glass
And flame full of grass

You're perfectly flawed
You're perfectly incomplete
A work in progress
perfection is killing me...

don't... be... silent.
FIGHT!
(violence, melees, and disturbance of the peace)

~verse 1~
here's your introduction to destruction
and the hate sustaining me
are we safer or in danger?
drowning in atrocities?
riot gear, the slaves are here
piling corpses high
its the rich man's war
but its the poor that fight
more capitalist crimes
more enemies than allies
no WMD's - who gives a fuck if they die
just kill 'em all - watch 'em fall
skin the world with their lies
its the rich man's war
but its the poor that fight

~chorus~
stand up
speak out
strike back!
stand up
speak out
strike back!
they don't know what they started
CONFRONTATION

~verse 2~
my religion of resistance
challenging everything
radicals and dissidents
of creativity
we are the children
of the siege you hide
in this rich man's war
where the poor just die
more deception and greed
more wars and disease
more lies from the hive mind
that seek to deceive
a weak nation of need
like silent thieves in the night
its a rich man's war
but its the poor that die

~chorus~
stand up
speak out
strike back!
stand up
speak out
strike back!

they don't know what they started
CONFRONTATION.
stand-FIGHT
speak-FIGHT
strike back!
stand-FIGHT
speak-FIGHT
strike back!
they don't know what they started
CONFRONTATION

~bridge~
this is my battle cry
defy the lies of the tyrant race
with a fist in the air
and a finger in their face!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!

~chorus~

there's no
way they can
stop us
now
there's no
way they can
stop us
now
there's no
way they can
stop us
so let them try
we fight or we die.

Was I just your surrogate?
Was I your revenge?
I... have... no regrets... yet
I... have... no regrets...

You'll wish we never took this ride...
You made me do this, you made me do this, you made me
I wish I was afraid of suicide,
Long ago before I died
We should never be this high
I wish I was afraid of suicide

Once was I... made of glass,
Long ago, before I cracked...
Once was I... made of glass,
Long ago... before I cracked...
YOU MADE ME DO THIS

I just can't forget
The blood,
The stitches,
The bite marks,
The kisses,
The glass memories reflecting back
The suffocating block,
Ill milk of regret
Just smile and breathe,
Dad we never mattered it anyway
Smile and breathe,
Dad we never mattered anyway

You'll wish we never took this..

I'm starving,
I'm starving...
I'm starving for affection
Your heart is made of ash
And you were just a face to me,
A sacrificial lamb
Rejection, Revenge
Deception, Dimense
I might be going down in flames,

But you will burn with me
You'll wish we never took this ride

I just can't forget
The blood,
The stitches,
The bite marks,
The kisses,
The glass memories reflecting back
The suffocating black,
Ill milk of regret
Just smile and breathe,
Tell them: we never mattered anyway

..no one will know

This is the perfect place
To hide the crime and burn the remains...
I was so naive
I refused to feed
Waiting for you to notice me
I was so naive
I refused to feed
Waiting for you...

LIKE A LOVESICK ANOREXIC

I just can't forget
The love you twisted
The lies you enlisted
The killers quietly beat me down
I hope you drown in this shit milk or regret
I WON'T F**KING FORGET

I hope you drown while you're world is burning down
I hope you drown while you're world is burning down

...the whole world is burning
...your whole world is burning
...your whole world is burning
...your whole world is burning down

Your god is a fossil, demand and the appossals stand in join hands to behold.
Your godless disciples, abandon your idols, and stand in join hands to behold.

Champagne, Cocaine, Vicodin, Adderall, Nicotine, Caffiene, Percoset, Tyladol

Jesus needs his prescriptions filled,
Buddah using too many pills,
Allah promises endless thrills
In volatile bottles marked Religion Kills!!!

This is the ache we can't escape-betrayed!
One day this could be you
With just another nail in the coffin
With another knot in the noose
It's just another squeeze of the trigger.
One more human to bruise.

Champagne, Cocaine, Vicodin, Adderall, Nicotine, Caffiene, Percoset, Tyladol

Christians rolling on excatasy
Jevhoah smoking to much PCP
While the mary carries a junkie Messiah
shooting smack and smoking crack with the king of liars!!!

This is the ache we can't escape-betrayed!
One day this could be you
With just another nail in the coffin
With another knot in the noose
It's just another squeeze of the trigger.
One more human to bruise.

this is for a lifetime of shit!

Get down and crawl you fucking insect
Get down and crawl you fucking insect
Get down and crawl
Get down and crawl
Get down and crawl
The remedy is worse than the disease
The remedy is worse than the disease!!
My life spills out just like temples

Your god is a fossil abandon the appsosals get down and join hands to explode
your god lists desciples abandon the rifles get down and join hands to explode to explode to explode to explode

My life spills out just like temples

(she’s a killer, she’s a keeper)
Am I blurry in your vision?
Was I just a poor decision?
Cut me open with precision and finger the incision.
Tell me what have I done (quid pro quo)
To watch you lose CONTROL?

I will give you sanctuary
In these hymns of Thanatos.
I will give you sanctuary!

You want to see me burn
I am living fire
You want to see me burn
I am living FIRE!

You will know me by the scars I bare.
You will know me by the hate I swear!
You will know me by the scars I bare!
SHAPELESS! VENGEANCE!

We are the 1,000 children of death.
We’re in-between, on the fence,
Nondescript antagonist.

I’m in-between, on the fence,
Nondescript antagonist.

I split you OPEN! CLIMB INSIDE!
LOSE MY SIGHT! EATEN ALIVE!
We are the 1,000 children of death.
From seraphim, to nephilim, to exodus!

She’s picking ghostflowers from her soul.
She’s clipping the wings of fallen angels.
She’s picking ghostflowers from her soul.
She’s tonguing splinters of broken halos.

You will know me by the scars I bare.
You will know me by the hate I swear!
You will know me from the scars I bare.
YOU WILL KNOW ME!!

From gelatin to specimen to EMPTINESS!!!
I will be avenged, I WILL BE AVENGED!
These are the secrets!
That kill, that kill, that kill, that kill,
That kill, that kill, that KILL!
We are the 1,000 children of death!

[Suffer. suffer. suffer.]

you will know
i will suffer
so you won't

[like a human sacrifice,
we pay the price]

& it begins
like this
every time

v1.

my heart starts reacting
my soul starts collapsing
i'm dancing in fire again

i'm burning & bleeding
the parasites are breeding
it's me versus me versus them

i am whore, holy, loved, lonely
murdering the others now and then

i am barren, fruitful, bored but rarely useful
a sinner seeking manic martyrdom

(chorus)

the devil may care but i don't
no masters, no gods, no laws, no soul

i'm insignificant, i'm shiny & unique
i'm a freak, i'm a fuck-up, i'm suffering

(tunnel)

touch. taste. feel.

prick the skin
push it in
nothing will be wasted

all my hate
all my faith
the cloak becomes sacred

prick the skin
push it in
nothing will be wasted

touch.
taste.
feel.

and you will see
and you will know
we will heal ...
everything.

v2.

my heart starts collapsing
my soul starts reacting
i'm back in the fire again

i'm burning & bleeding
the parasites are feeding
it's me versus me & all of them

i am whore, holy, loved, lonely
murdering the others i have been

i am barren, fruitful, bored but really useful
a sinner seeking manic martyrdom

(chorus)

the devil may care but i don't
no masters, no gods, no laws, no soul

i'm insignificant, i'm shiny & unique
i'm a freak, i'm a fuck-up, i'm martyring

Dress like we do,
Speak like we do,
Think like we do.

Obey...

Beneath the cold sun
Watching you walk away
Where my terror runs
In rivers so decayed

I am invisible...
I'm in this mood for days...
Teeth on every wall...
That never go away.

I'm made of blades and flame...
I'm sick and dangerous...
You're my favorite prey
'Cause I hurt the ones I love.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie.
You can be my crucifix,
Hold me up to watch me die.

Can't you see?
I'm invisible...

Beneath the Pagan moon
One more prey dies today.
On sheets of flesh and doom
Shivering in endless shade like criminals...
The stain still remains
And I promise you, it never goes away.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie.
You can be my crucifix,
Hold me up to watch me die.

Behold,
Feast your eyes as the peripherals explode.

Can you see me now? [2x]

The ugly will resign
When the young blood eats the light.
And one day,
This pain could save your life.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie.
You can be my crucifix,
Hold me up to watch me die.

Living in the shelter,
Lying here alive...
We're painting submission
Across the shadowed sky...

Fire on the sides,
Burned and bright, has arrived (?)
Lost in flight, on golden molted wings.

Now do you see?

Now do you...

Now do you see?

[INTRO TO HOME GROWN]

Mama, don't cry...
I'm leaving his life...
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.

Paid for our sins,
You protected us then...
And saved us all.

I make this vow,
I promise you now:

He'll never touch us again...

He'll never touch us again...

He'll never touch us again...

He hurts me 'cause he cares

He hurts me and it's all my fault!

Roaches and cigarettes,
A sink of hungry dishes.
Flies in the afterbirth,
I miss you when you're timid.

Loving you is nothing new,
It's self mutilation.
I crave the pain, I'm so ashamed
But I love the stimulation.

The last time I died
The last time I died, wasn't nearly this much fun.
Welcome...
Welcome...

Welcome to the family
This drug addict,
sex fanatic,
alcoholic tragedy.

Welcome to the family
This drug addict,
sex fanatic,
alcoholic fantasy.

I fell down some stairs...
I ran into a wall...
He hurts me 'cause he cares..
It's all my fault!

He likes to kill small animals
And blame it on the weather.
Father was _______
My secret name was terror.

Loving you is nothing new,
It's self mutilation.
I crave the pain, I'm so ashamed
But I love the stimulation.

The last time I died
The last time I died, wasn't nearly this much fun.
Welcome...
Welcome...

Welcome to the family
This drug addict,
sex fanatic,
alcoholic tragedy.

Welcome to the family
This drug addict,
sex fanatic,
alcoholic fantasy.

He hurts me 'cause he cares
He hurts me and it's all my fault.

It's all my fault.
It's all your fault.
It's all your fault!!!!!!

Fuck you,
you insecure piece of shit.
Fuck you,
Now look what you made me do. (2x)

FUCK YOU!!!

If you
TOUCH US AGAIN
I will
FUCKING KILL YOU!

I will make you pay.
I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!

Now you know how it feels.

Now you know how it feels

I sold my soul
So long ago

Never alone
palace of madness
And sadness

& she said to the ghosts in her head
i will find the edge i will force my fingers in
i will sip from the slit
i will rip you to shreds
i will rip you to shreds!!!


Rape again
Kill the saints
innocent.

There's no
There's no
Way to escape

I know the world of truth is blind with crucified criminals and suicides, maybe i'll just cut my throat maybe i'll eat while i choke hungry creature of their decay, there's no possible way to escape.

repeat chorus;

bridge; (theres no way to escape)
Yesterday upon the stair, I met the man who wasn't there. He wasn't there a year a day. I wish that man would go away
i wish that man would go away
i wish that man would go away
i wish that man would go away
i wish that man would go

Bridge: Shadow men standing in my room spinning his conspiracies for me to consume. Shadow men has a plan just wait and see you'll all be sorry for fucking with me (come out and play)

Shadow men please go away
shadow men please go away
i really don't feel like praying today
go away
go away
go away

I'm not Ignoring you, I'm just plotting your doom
Were just letting you drown, don't look we have been found

rape again
Kill the saints
innocent.

tell me theres no way to escape

I had this dream...
where I woke up
to a grand commotion.
And uhm... I just jumped from the blankets
And whipped the door from its lock,
and rush blindly into the blackness of the hallway.
But there, on all sides
Lying next to each other
were rows and rows of executioners...

Some were shirtless and ____
And throbbing with anticipation.
Sweat delicatley sneaking through their body hair
All were hooded
Some like seventeenth century guillotine henchemen
others had crudely made hoods
like scarecrows or ripped ski masks
With slobber from their clenching jaws
And some had burlap masks that looked like they were made of human skin.

Each one held a weapon.
Large mallets
crudely fashioned axes
and large clubs
pipes

But I wasn't compelled to retreat.

No.

I was forced to move between them.
Past their swinging weapons
The clubs
the bats
the slicing tools
The shovels
the large and small axes
Boards with nails, staples and razorblades embedded in them
taking the beating,
falling down,
getting up,
again and again and again and again
driven to make it out...

At any cost.

And next,
I stumbled into a... this strange marshy world
Where I was oddly drowning in squirrels and other large, starving rodents.
From above, out on the treetops,
Several dolls fell from the branches
And they were hanging
With nooses made of human hair
They started biting and sucking and trying to feed from me...
Trying to enter my belly and some pushed large needles into my veins and...
and as I looked back, some had nails through their hands, torsos and throats.

I was froze.
Dead eyes...
carbonized...
As I kicked them away
I could see all around me...
Of piles and piles of dead sea life.
Large fish, smelly crustaceans, ____ (?)

And their soulless empty bodies whispered
a secret language I couldn't decipher but somehow understood.

And their cries were
"Feed me... feed me..."

They wanted me to devour those around them
Chew them up into pieces
and smear them inside their mouths.
And as I turned around
I could see the shape of a woman
Perfect...
Perfectly erotic
Squatting over a pile of these dead things...
And as I ran to her and said "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

And she had no face
And she turned to glass
And suddently cracked
And then exploded into 1000 pieces at my feet.

And just as I took a quick breath,
this world was shoved and desimated
But an intruding tidal wave
Of microorganisms, exploding atoms...

And suddenly moon rose...
Frightened, aching, and alone...
And that's what I remember most...

...The ache.

I can't escape
The ache.......

When you scream, it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg, I get all gooey inside
Tonight I take your eyes, mind and tongue
To spread the word and watch your kingdom come

Another night with you, another wound
You keep me in stitches, you tear me to pieces

I need new voices in my head to speak my secret evils with
I need new lovers in my bed to be my friends and special pets
I need your scent all over me
I need to taste your blasphemy
I need to know with certainty that the nectar was worth the squeeze

It's just the way that we are diseased
It's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious

It's just the way that we are diseased
I's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious

Once upon a time
I ripped the wings from my spine
But when I hide inside your eyes
I still pretend that I can fly

Tell me every secret
So you can fall in love
Then to fall to pieces

I need new voices in my head, a new disguse for me to hide
I need new lovers in my bed to feed my secret appetites
I need your sins all over me
I need to taste this tragedy
I need to know with ceritainty the nectar was worth the squeeze

It's just the way that we are diseased
It's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious

It's just the way that we are diseased
It's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious

I'm looking for a friend in my head
(It's just a game we play in the dark)

When you scream, it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg, I get all gooey inside
Tonight I take your eyes and tongue
To spread the word and watch you cum
You keep me in stitches, you tear me to pieces

It's just the way we are diseased
It's the blade that stains us
It's the sweetest disease
It's so contagious

Everyday was the same routine
Slave labor was her expertise

Silent, obedient, built to please
Never complain never disagree
Just carry the load
TOOK CARE OF THE HOME
The perfect servant do as your told

So she made the bed
FED THE CAT
WROTE A NOTE TO HER SON AND HIS TWO BRATS
THE PACKED HER BAGS and called the cab
AND ELIZA NEVER PARKED UP THE MASTER PLAN

Perfumed her breast
In her sunday best
The time had finally come
To abandon the nest

So she slipped the key
And turned the lock
With her favorite handbag
And a pocket full of buckshot

And she cried
This how heroes die
This will be my best good-bye
This is how heroes die
This will be my best good-bye
Bang bang

(CHORUS)
Necessary accessories
To ordain to ordinary
Necessary accessories
SACRIFICING everything

And the driver asked
As she slides in the back
Where would like to roll?

She says read my lips
This is my second trip
I went crazy an hour ago

So they finally arrive
And she pays the driver
She walks inside
Looking for the liar

She sees him there
In his leather chair
A silk-suited parasite with perfect hair

But behind his desk
He tries to hide
Pretends he's on a call
And averts his eyes

But it's too late
So he cracks a smile
Offers her a seat and says
"don't be shy"

She said if you knew what I've been through
BUT I'm still not worth it to be approved
You knew what I've been through
But I'm still not worth it to be approved

He said this was not, up to me
Now please, get up, and kindly leave
Just stay quiet
Dont make a scene

But this was her day
And she aims to please
Cuz this is how
Heroes die
This will be her best good-bye
Bang bang

(CHORUS)
Necessary accessories
To ordain to ordinary
Necessary accessories
SACRIFICING everything

And silence falls
She can hear HIM crawl
This is the way liars pay
This is the way liars pay
This will be her best day

Whats your, credit score
How much do you earn
Whats your credit scrore
How much are you worth

Whats your, credit score
How much do you earn
Whats your credit SCORE
How much are you worth

Whats your credit score
How much are you worth
How much are worth?

There is a weight
Within me

(And I burn)

A kiss
Heavier than the sun

(And I burn)

A slow invasion
Strange beauty

(And I burn)

Rejected in the flesh
And odd nourishment
(And I burn)
For my soul

Thickening
Far away atoms

Like fat happy Buddahs
This intimate new language
Softer than the breath
That slips from your lips

(And I burn)

In the veretoss

(And I burn)

The depth of you
(And I burn)
Follows me

And I burn
And I burn
