Death...

. . .



Come on !!

Here we go again mother fucker !!

Yeah !!

Come on down
and see the idiot right here
too fucked up and I am not afraid to care
doesn't matter what can nominate her anyway
run get the fuck out of my face
on a turn and I can't feel anything
it isn't nothing but a self that can decay
I feel like I'm wounded
and I got a fucking gun against my head
you're never not dead

one more time mother fucker !!

Everybody hates me now so fuck you
pulled to my feet and my hands and I don't know why
I'm not afraid to cry
but that is none of your business

so you feel it, kick it, see it, feel it, eat it, beat it out
so I can spit in his face
I wanna leave without a trace
get out, I don't want to die in this place

people=shit [x4]
(what you gonna do)
(I'm not afraid of you)
(I'm everything, I'm not a pain)

Come on !!

It never stops
you can't blame everything on everyone
I got changed and I'm sittin on the side of satan
what do you want from me?
You never told me what I was meant to be
now over to it, don't tell me to feel it
stop your bitchin'
and fight your way through it
I'm not like you
I just fuck up

kill them mother fucker everybody has to die
kill them mother fucker everybody has to die !!

People=shit [x5]
(yeah)
People=shit [x4]
(what you gonna do)
(I'm not afraid of you)
(I'm everything, I'm not a pain)

You're dead to my eye !!

. . .



I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound 
I wanna push my face in and feel the swoon 
I wanna dig inside, find a little bit of me 
Cuz the line gets crossed when you don't come clean 

My wormwood meets your pesticide 
You'll never get out, coz you were never alive 
I am infinite, I am the infant finite 
Come a little closer and I'll show you why

(NO ONE IS - SAFE) 
Noises, noises, people make noises 
people make noises when they're sick 
Nothing to do except hold on to NOTHING 

How does it feel to be locked inside another dream 
That never had a chance of being realized? 
What the fuck are you lookin' at? 
I'll tell you what you're lookin' at 
Everyone you ever fuckin' laughed at 

Look in my eyes for the answers - typical 
I can feel it underneath like a miracle 
Everybody in the world needs more than 
Lies and consequences to poser them 
Once again, it's me and no one else 
I can't remember if there was a someone else 
It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands 
And it's shaking - you'll never take me 

(NO ONE IS - SAFE) 
Noises, noises, people make noises 
People make noises when they're sick 
Nothing to do except hold on to NOTHING 

NOTHING! 

(HATE) Hate ain't enough to describe me 
(SCREAM) Somewhere between screaming and crying 
I'm not supposed to be here 
I'm not supoosed to be 

(WHY) When do I get to know why? 
(BITTER) Bitter as the stink of when I try 
I'm not supposed to be here 
I'm not supposed to be 
Pull your hands away 

I'm gone - goodbye - it's so depressing 
Withering away 
Take a look - inside - my soul is missing 
All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me 
Feel like I'm erased - so kill me just in case 

(COVET) Everything around me's mine 
(STY) Can't see through the sties in my eyes 
I'm not supposed to be here 
I'm not supposed to be 

(DOWN) Scratching and clawing all the way 
(STAY) You won't let me fucking stay 
I'm not supposed to be here 
I'm not supposed to be 

(LIVE) Is there another way to live? 
(DIE) Cuz it's the only way to die 
I'm not supposed to be here 
I'm not supposed to be

. . .



I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor 
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the 
Everyday bullshit things that you have done 

Your impossible ego fuck is like a 
Megalomaniacal tab on my tongue 
You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart 
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that 
Shit you call a heart... 

I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed 
Made to feel miniscule 
If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful 
The only thing you really know about me is... 
...that's all you'll ever know 

I know why you blame me (yourself) 
I know why you plague me (yourself) 

I'm turning it around like a knife in the shell 
I wanna understand why, but I'm hurting myself
I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it 
I can't just drop it 
I'm just a bastard, but at least I admit it 
At least I admit it 

I know why you blame me (yourself) 
I know why you plague me (yourself) 

Kill you - fuck you - i will never be you 
Kill you - fuck you - i will never be you 
I can't fuckin' take it anymore 
A snap of the synapse 
And now it's fuckin' war 
Kill you - fuck you - I will never be you

. . .



You are wrong, fucked, and overrated 
I think I'm gonna be sick and it's your fault 
This is the end of EVERYTHING 
You are the end of EVERYTHING 
I haven't slept since I woke up 
And found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker 
This is the end of EVERYTHING 
You are the end of EVERYTHING 

Shallow skin, I can paint with pain 
I mark the trails on my arms with your disdain 
Everyday it's the same - I LOVE, YOU HATE
But I guess I don't care any more... 
Fix my problems with the blade 
While my eyes turn from blue to gray 
God, the worst thing happened to me today 
But I guess I don't care anymore... 

You are wrong, fucked, and overrated 
I think I'm gonna be sick and it's your fault 
This is the end of EVERYTHING 
You are the end of EVERYTHING 
I haven't slept since I woke up 
And found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker 
This is the end of EVERYTHING 
You are the end of EVERYTHING 

My flaws are the only thing left that's pure 
Can't really live, can't really endure 
Everything I see reminds me of her 
God I wish I didn't care anymore 
The more I touch, the less I feel 
I'm lying to myself that it's not real 
Why is everybody making such a big fucking deal? 
I'm never gonna care anymore 

What the hell am I doing? 
Is there anyone left in my life? 
What the fuck was I thinking? 
Anybody want to tell me I'm fine? 
Where the hell am I going? 
Do I even need a reason to hide? 
I am only betrayed 
I am only conditioned to die

. . .



8...7...6...6...6...5...4...3...2...1... 
I'm a pop star threat and I'm not dead yet 
Got a super dred bet with an angel drug head 
Like a dead beat winner. I want to be a sinner 
An idolized bang for the industry killer. 
A hideous man that you don't understand 
Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap. 
It's evilsonic, It's pornoholic. 
Breakdowns, Obscenities, It's all I wanna be. 
If You're 555 then I'm 666. 
If you're 555 I'm 666. 
If you're 555 then I'm 666 (what's it like to be a heretic) 
If you're 555 I'm 666. (what's it like to be a heretic) 
Everybody's so infatuated 
Everybody's so completely sure of what we are 
Everybody defamates from miles away 
But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say 
I bleed for this and I bleed for you 
Still you look in my face like I'm sombody new 
TOY - Nobody wants anything I've got 
Which if fine becuase you're made of 
Everything - I'm - NOT! 
If You're 555 then I'm 666. 
If you're 555 I'm 666. 
If you're 555 then I'm 666 (what's it like to be a heretic) 
If you're 555 I'm 666. (what's it like to be a heretic) 
30 Seconds, 16, 8, 4, lemme tell you why 
I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest 
They're listening, clamoring 
All the money in the world can't buy me. 
GO AHEAD. LIE TO ME. 
Tell me again how you're tortured 
I wanna know how you followed your orders so well 
You're full of SHIT 
You had a dream but this ain't it. 
If You're 555 then I'm 666. 
If you're 555 I'm 666. 
If you're 555 then I'm 666 (what's it like to be a heretic) 
If you're 555 I'm 666. (what's it like to be a heretic)

. . .



Gently, my mind escapes into the relaxing
world of pleasure, a pleasure that'll take 
my mind off the reality of my life, 
my past life... life as I know it now. 

And whatever may come, it slowly 
disappears to somewhere in the back 
of my mind. It will remain there,
until I wish to retrieve it. 

Yes, I will stay here for a while, 
for I need the break. A break from the
pressures of life, and everything 
that lays in the palm of life's hands. 

This mode is incredible. It's out of 
this world. Too bad I must always leave it... 
... but that's life.

. . .



I've known faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All My friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify

(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you) 
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
Don't even try it! You had to be a liar just to
infiltrate me - I'm still drawing

(I ignore you) 
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away 
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

...Take...this...away...
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the holy ghost 
And kill you if you get to close

. . .



Too tragic to stay with you 
Too static to try for you 
These scars, they swallow hard
The part of the past that's hollow and dark 
Too horrid to kill for you 
Too sordid to die with you 
Unstable as always, come down 
Everything else is just dust and sound 

SEPARATE (I've lost my only way) 
SEPARATE (I've lost my only way) 
SEPARATE (I've lost my only way) 
SEE THE SHAPE (Broken and thrown away) 

I'd give it all away, come take it all away 
You can't resent the fear 
Somebody tell me how I got here 
I'd give it all to you, come take it, it's all for you 
The noise is so damn loud, but 
Everything else is just dust and sound 

I don't wanna do this anymore 
Everything's shit - everything's been taken 
Forsaken - gotta start it over cuz I'm hearing it 
Backwards - DON'T make sense - DON'T feel better 
Who's better? It's not that simple 
You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult 
It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy 
Draw your conclusions - solutions? 
Anybody else wanna run? 
Contorting, distorting - I am undone 
One less propaganda nightmare fixture 
Are you getting the picture?

. . .



The whole world is my enemy - and I'm a walking target 
Two times the devil with all the significance
Dragged and raped for the love of a mob 
I can't stay - because I can't be stopped
Eat motherfuckers alive who cross us 
I know you're all tired of the same ol' bosses 
Let me tell you how it's gonna be 
I'm gonna kill anyone who steps up in front of me 

Welcome to the same ol' fucking scam 
Same ol' shit in a dead fad 

Everybody wants to be so hard 
Are you real or a second rate sports card? 
They all lost their dad or their wife just died 
They never got to go outside - SHUT UP 
Nobody gives a fuck 
it doesn't change the fact that you suck 

(We are) The anti-cancer 
(We are) The only answer 
Stripped down, we want you dead 
But what's inside of me, you'll never know 
(We are) Bipolar gods 
(We are) You know what we are 
My life was always shit 
And I don't think I need this anymore 

Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool 
But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud - so fuck you 
Standing out is the new pretension 
Sreamline the (sic)ness, half-assed aggression 
You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned 
All the mediocre sacred cows we spawne
Put your trust in the mission 
We will not repent - this is our religion 

(We are) The anti-cancer 
(We are) The only answer 
Stripped down, we want you dead 
But what's inside of me, you'll never know 
(We are) Bipolar gods 
(We are) You know what we are 
My life was always shit 
And I don't think I need this anymore 

I AM HATED 
YOU ARE HATED 
WE ARE HATED 

Everything sucks and I can prove it 
Everybody dies, shuffle on, remove it 
Individuals, indispensable 
I'm the paradox deity vessel 
...the other side holds no secret 
But this side is done, I don't need it 
Before you go, you should know you're breaking down 
You'll be rotten by the time you're underground 

(We are) The anti-cancer 
(We are) The only answer 
Stripped down, we want you dead 
But what's inside of me, you'll never know 
(We are) Bipolar gods 
(We are) You know what we are 
My life was always shit 
And I don't think I need this anymore 

(We Are) The source of conscience
(We Are) Distorted sentients 
There's only one thing left 
And I can't leave until it's sated 
(We Are) The absolute 
(We Are) Controlling you 
They're closing in, I can't escape 
I AM HATED

. . .



Zero and zero is nothing but zero 
Cancer and people conspire together 
Running and running and going forever 
Collected and sampled, starving for zero 

Come see my cage - built in my grain 

Minus the inside and minus the circle 
Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel 
Wherein and herein, between us and near us 
Zero and zero is nothing but zero 

Come see my cage - built-in migraine 

Keeping myself alive... 
through your EMPATHY

. . .



I'm ethereal, my children are legion, serial 
They stick to my skin like beloved cysts 
I tear away with my nails and teeth and fists
Touch the hands of inverted saints 
Follow my heart through the threaded pain 
Callow man is a sentinel screaming 
I see the future; the future is bleeding 

Sores, every goddamn minute I can feel 'em now 
Like a virus, you will never kill me now 
Goin' underground, comin' on like hepatitis 
We're out - and you can't reshape us 
Another bug in the construct 
Tearin' up the main bus B 
Zeros and ones are everything - execute me 

Everywhere you look, it's like they know 
Their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL 
This is where the line is drawn, see 
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME 

What do you need to see? Ya feel the impact? 
Gotta retract - everybody get back 
What is this? It's like a big conspiracy 
Fields of dejected morbid progeny 
They always say that it's always our fault 
But everything we say is taken with a grain of salt 
Man, it's always the same, if we talk or complain 
We only wanna upset the balance 
How's it feel to be the New Abortioin? 
The only generation to suffer extortion 

Everywhere you look, it's like they know 
Their fingerprints are hidden by CONTROL 
This is where the line is drawn, see 
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME 

YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOUL AWAY FROM ME

. . .



Gone - I couldn't murder your promise 
Right before my eyes 
The revolutions of my psychosis 
Kept me outta the way 

Once - inside - all I hold is ash... 

Fail - suppressing every feeling 
I'm in so much pain 
I have every fuckin' right to hate you 
I can't take it! 

The hardest part was knowing that I could never be you 
Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you 

My demise - I took a life worth living and 
Made it worth a mockery 
I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming 
(Stop) I'm always ready to die 
But you're killing me 

Who are you to me? Who am I to you? 
Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence? 
By default, you are my only link to the outside
Psychosomatic suicide 
Where were you when I was down? 
Can you show me a way... 
To face everyday with this face - goodbye 

My demise - I took a life worth living and 
Made it worth a mockery 
I deny - I fold, but they keep on coming 
(Stop) I'm always ready to die 
But you're killing me 

When I blur my eyes, they make the whole 
World breath - I see you fucking me 
And I am absolutely controlly every urge
To mutilate - the one and only answer 
So much for memories... 
I wanna derss in your insecurities 
And be the perfect you - I'm through 
I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe 
Here we go - the ultimate irony

. . .



Relax...it's over,you belong to me,I fill your mouth with dirt
Relax...it's over,you can never leave
I take your second digit with me... Love...
You are...my first,I can breath
I find you fascinating
You are...my favorite,lay you down to sleep
It's all that I can do to stop...Love...
So blue...so broken,paper doll decays
I haven't left you yet
So cold...subversive,your eyes are full of bleach
Tomorrow,I will go away again...Love...
YOU ARE MINE,YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE,I CAN TEAR YOU APART
I CAN RECOMBINE YOU
ALL I WANT IS TO COVET YOU ALL
YOU BELONG TO ME
I WILL KILL YOU TO LOVE YOU.(LOVE)

. . .



Liberate - My madness 
(One of me, all of you) 
Liberate - My madness 
I just want to... 

Section off myself 
Put a wall up/What the hell have I done 
Keep the dog at bay 
Survive by saving me! 
Values and the game 
Not a fuck-up - Not a part of your lie 
I am one, I am all - I'm above and beyond! 

Back off of the shit 
Stand off or I'll spit 
So soft, you forget 
Your garbage in is garbage out 
You don't give a shit 
I won't play the fit 
Get off, get on this 
Your garbage in is garbage out 

Liberate my madness... 

Liberate - My madness 
(One of me, all of you) 
Liberate - My madness 
I just want to... 

I am not ashamed 
What is vital, isn't always humane 
You can break in vain 
But you can't break away 
Even in my face 
Lotta bullshit, not alotta the truth 
I can't see from here 
But I can smell your fear 

Back off of the shit 
Stand off or I'll spit 
So soft, you forget 
Your garbage in is garbage out 
You don't give a shit 
I won't play the fit 
Get off, get on this 
Your garbage in is garbage out 

Saved - You're such a slave - I don't expect a 
Name - You don't care - I wasn't witness - 
I can't be a part of a system such as this 
Hard eyes - Glow right - In my - Darkness - Again 
With the sickness, rengade blisters, sisters, 
Salivate, litigate, liberate, madness, sadness 
Fuck this - How long have I had this? 
I don't need this - Outta my business 
Insert, engage, betrayed, my God 
Fraud 

Liberate - My madness 
(One of me, all of you) 
Liberate - My madness 
I just want to...
