head like a hole

god money i'll do anything for you
god money just tell me what you want me to
god money nail me up against the wall
god money don't want everything he wants it all

no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
head like a hole
black as your soul
i'd rather die than give you control
bow down before the one you serve
you're going to get what you deserve.

god money's not looking for the cure
god money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
god money's not one to choose.

no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
head like a hole
black as your soul
i'd rather die than give you control
bow down before the one you serve
you're going to get what you deserve.

terrible lie

hey God. why are you doing this to me
am i not living up to what i'm supposed to be
why am i seething with this animosity
hey God, i think you owe me a great big apology

terrible lie

hey God, i really don't know what you mean
seems like salvation come only in our dreams
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
hey God, can this world really be as sad as it seems

terrible lie

don't take it away from me, i need someone to hold on to
don't take it away from me, i need someone to hold on to

hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide
i lost my ignorance, security and pride
i'm all alone in a world you must despise
hey God, i believed the promises, the promises and lies

terrible lie

you made me throw it all away
my morals left to decay
how many you betray
you've taken everything

terrible lie

my head is filled with disease
my skin is begging you please
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe
i need someone to hold on to
i need someone to hold on to
i need someone i need someone
i need someone to hold on to

down in it

kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe. sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was never coming down. just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see. but i watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me down.

i was up above it
now i'm down in it

shut up so what does it matter now. i was swimming in the haze now i crawl on the ground. and everything i never liked about you is kink of seeping into me. try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out. ("i guess the joke's on me," she said)

i was up above it
now i'm down in it

i used to be so big and strong. i used to know my right from wrong. i used to never be afraid. i used to be somebody. i used to have something inside now just this hole that's open wide. i used to want it all. i used to be somebody. i'll cross my heart i'll hope to die but the needle's already in my eye. and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why. and what i used to think was me is just a fading memory. i looked him right in the eye and said goodbye

i was up above. now i'm down in it

sanctified

it's still getting worse after everthing i tried
what if i found a way to wash it all aside
what if she touches with those fingertips
as the words spill out like fire from her lips

if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell
i still dream of lips i never should have kissed
well she knows exactly what i can't resist

if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you

i'm just caught up in another of her spells
she's turning me into someone else
every day i hope and pray that this will end
but when i can i do it all again.

if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you

something i can never have

i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore.

come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have.

you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if i had a heart.

come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have.

in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now, i now it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be

come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have.

kinda i want to

i can't shake this feeling from my head
there's a devil sleeping in my bed
he's watching you from across the way
i cannot make this feeling go away

i know it's not the right thing
and i know it's not the good thing
but kinda i want to

i'm not sure of what i should do
when everything i'm thinking of is you
all of my excuses turn to lies
maybe God will cover up his eyes.

i know it's not the right thing
and i know it's not the good thing
but kinda i want to

maybe just for tonight
we can pretend it's alright
what's the price i pay
i don't care what they say

i want to
i want to(i'll take my chance tonight)

sin

you give me the reason
you give me control
i gave you my Purity my Purity you stole
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise
am i just too stupid to realize
stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies

it comes down to this
your kiss
your fist
and your strain
it get's under my skin within
take in the extent of my sin

you give me the anger
you give me the nerve
carry out my sentence
well i get what i deserve
i'm just an effigy to be defaced
to be disgraced
your need for me has been replaced
and if i can't have everything well then just give me a taste

it comes down to this
your kiss
your fist
and your strain
it get's under my skin within
take in the extent of my sin

that's what i get

just when everything was making sense
you took away all my self-confidence
now all that i've been hearing must be true
i guess i'm not the only boy for you

but that's what i get

how could you turn me into this
after you just taught me how to kiss you
i told you i'd never say goodbye
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

but that's what i get

why does it come as a surprise
to think that i was so naive
maybe didn't mean so much
but it meant everything to me.

the only time

i'm drunk. and right now i'm so in love with you. and i don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do. lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars. while the devil want to fuck me in the back of his car. nothing quite like the feel of something new.

maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
but this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive

i swear. i just found everything i need. the sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me. well i want to drink it up and swim in it until i drown. my moral standing is lying down. nothing quite like the feel of something new

maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
but this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive

i can't help thinking Christ never had it like this

ringfinger

well you've got me working so hard lately. working my hands until they bleed. if i was twice the man i could be . i'd still be half of what you need. still you lead me and i follow. anything you ask you know i'll do. but this one act of consecration is what i ask of you

ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone and offer it to me

you just leave me nailed here. hanging like Jesus on this cross. i'll be dying for your sins and aiding to the cause
ringfinger. promise carved in stone. deeper than the sea. ringfinger. sever flesh and bone and offer it to me
wrap my eyes in bandages. confessions i see through. i get everything i want. when i get part of you

ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone and offer it to me
ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
devil's flesh and bone do something for me.
