from the album “The High End of Low”
DEVOUR
I'll swallow up all of you like a big bottle of big, big pills,But you're the one that I should never take, but I can't sleep until I devour you.
You're a flower that's withering, I can't feel your thorns in my hand,
This is no embrace, you're buried deep and you're not crying, this is blood all over me.
And I'll love you if you let me, and I'll love you if you won't make me stop.
I used to hold your haunted neck, I know I'll miss you if I close my eyes,
But this is loaded, if I open them, I'll see you and I'll blow your heart to pieces.
And I'll love you if you let me, and I'll love you if you won't make me stop.
My pain is not ashamed to repeat itself.
PRETTY AS A SWASTIKA
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika, take you down from the inside.I want to smash into your face like a plane and drown between your legs, take you down from the inside.
I'd die for your sins if you don't kill me while I'm trying, baby.
Let me show you where it hurts, there's more than one way to make you cry.
One of us is a knife, one of us is ripe, baby.
LEAVE A SCAR
It's not like I made myself a list of new and different ways to murder your heart,I'm just a painting that's still wet, if you touch me I'll be smeared, you'll be stained for the rest of your life.
So turn around and walk away before you confuse the way we abuse each other,
If you're not afraid of getting hurt then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you.
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself, are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul that you thought was a smile, whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar.
I'm more like a silver bullet than I'm like a gun, I'm not easy to hold,
I'm moving fast and if I stay inside your heart I'm certain that this will be the end of your life.
So turn around and walk away before you confuse the way we abuse each other,
If you're not afraid of getting hurt then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you.
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself, are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul that you thought was a smile, whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar.
I should warn you that you may fuck me, but chances are I'm gonna fuck you over.
FOUR RUSTED HORSES
Who'll ride this dying carousel, four rusting horses strangled by their own rope,What children love a singing wheel now that their tight hearts it broke?
Everyone will come to my funeral to make sure that I stay dead.
I can see the coffin shining through my tinted window, must have missed the signs that said it was a fire sale.
Everyone will come to my funeral to make sure that I stay dead.
You can't take this from me, forbidden in heaven and useless in hell.
ARMA-GODDAMN-MOTHERFUCKIN-GEDDON
Death to the ladies first, then the gentlemen, all sorts of tax-free facelifts, abortions,Nervous breakdance satanic girls gone wild, truly fucking suicidal.
First you try to fuck it, then you try to eat it, if it hasn't learned your name you better kill it before they see it.
It's Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon, fuck, eat, kill, now do it again.
I've got a black eye of a soul, my morals in a hole, I wish I was still dead but now the TV said it's a tropical depression.
Pointless intervention, legal separation, call my dealer or my lawyer, we've got a situation.
First you try to fuck it, then you try to eat it, if it hasn't learned your name you better kill it before they see it.
It's Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon, fuck, eat, kill, now do it again.
It's Arma-goddamn-motherfucking-geddon, fuck, eat, kill, et cetera.
Is it the news or is it the noose, results may vary, side effects are very.
Fuck the goddamn TV and the radio, and fuck making hits, I'm taking credit for the death toll.
BLANK AND WHITE
As if we need a why, I'll be it, and I'll be the who for an apocalypse how,If the world had one neck my hands would be the where and I would choke all of you down.
Give me a picket sign and make it blank and white, like all those stupid teenage girls, we're gonna need them where we're going tonight.
All you fuckers vote beep-beep-beep in drunk karaoke cars, if it's too dumb to see or say you still sing it, and I just cue the applause.
Let's make sure the music's loud enough, we won't even hear it end.
Give me a picket sign and make it blank and white, like all those stupid teenage girls, we're gonna need them where we're going tonight.
I want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate, today's the day you're gonna fucking die.
I want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate, your demons want to give you a proper goodbye.
Give me a picket sign, God is dead but God is still white; let's shoot up the mall, the school, or whoever wants to fight.
Let's make sure the music's loud enough, we won't even hear it end.
RUNNING TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Remember when I took you up to the top of the hill?We had our knives drawn, they were as sharp as we were in love.
If God crossed us, we'd take all his drugs, burn his money and his house down and wait for the fire to spread.
But sometimes hate is not enough to turn this all to ashes,
Together as one against all others, break all of the wings and make sure it crashes.
We're running to the edge of the world, running away, but I don't know if the world will end today.
I had no choice to erase the debt of our family as I let you say goodbye with lips like dynamite,
Everyone turned their backs cause they knew when we held on tight to each other we were something fatal that fell into the wrong hands.
Sometimes hate is not enough to turn this all to ashes,
Together as one against all others, break all of the wings and make sure it crashes.
We're running to the edge of the world, running away, but I don't know if the world will end today.
We don't seek death, we seek destruction.
I can see a new beginning rise behind the sun, but we can never catch up to it as fast as we run.
I WANT TO KILL YOU LIKE THEY DO IN THE MOVIES
I want to fuck you like a foreign film and there's no subtitles to get you through this,And I'm a country you don't ever want to visit again.
Line up, roll camera, you pretend, and I'll pretend and cut.
I want to kill you like they do in the movies, but don't worry, there's another one just like you standing in line.
I'm a strip and a flicker of celluloid and there's holes in my everything.
You're just what I projected, come inside.
There's so much more skin to break, I haven't even taken off my gloves.
I feel a little sorry baby, I hear the afterlife is poorly scored.
You're lucky you don't have to wake up, I'm sick of immortality.
I was only acting baby, you were overacting baby, don't confuse it with love.
Every time I kill you I'm really just killing myself.
Don't flatter yourself, this is business, not pleasure baby.
WOW
I had a dream, this one I feel the need to mention.I was happy for awhile and I stopped being scared and ashamed to say what's on my mind,
But you thought that I'd change after a while and said, "You better treat me different or else."
"Or else" seems like a stupid fucking thing to say to someone like me, wow.
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye but it's hard to take you serious when you take me inside.
I am worse than what you think you'd catch from me, complicated is understated.
Did you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?
It doesn't matter how many times I say it, it never gets old, that's why I have to say wow.
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye but it's hard to take you serious when you take me inside.
It doesn't matter if you're going to come or just going, I never wanted you to come here anyway.
There's a word that's like you because it can be a noun, a verb, an exclamation, or the thing I say when something is unbelievable,
When I'm not able to believe how unbelievably unbelievable, that you believe that you could not be leavable, that's when I have to say wow.
Don't be surprised I can look you in the eye but it's hard to take you serious when you take me inside.
It doesn't matter how many times I say it, it never gets old, that's why I have to say wow.
WIGHT SPIDER
I'll build you a shiny dollhouse or church for you to shrink into a tiny wight spider and gorge on horrid memories with conceited wings.Smother the past in a cocoon for me, and I'll help you move all the bodies.
I'll possess you but I don't need you to be another one of my possessions, I don't need you to be my possession.
And I won't make you kneel for anyone but me, I won't promise a star, don't promise your soul, we'll say that we don't believe.
I'll keep you wet when the world is dry, I can see them coming, I'll take you back inside.
If they came for answers I'll wrap my claws round your mouth tight,
We'll consume each other until there's nothing left to hide and they can all drown in our blood.
I'll possess you but I don't need you to be another one of my possessions, I don't need you to be my possession.
And I won't make you kneel for anyone but me, I won't promise a star, don't promise your soul, we'll say that we don't believe.
We can't haunt this home anymore, no.
UNKILLABLE MONSTER
How the fuck are we supposed to know when I'm a monster with the way you refuse to die?How the fuck are we supposed to know if we're in love or if we're in pain?
I'm a tightrope walker, I can't find my circus and I'm damaged beyond repair, you're just a coffin of a girl I knew and I'm buried in you.
You never said I'll end up like this, you never said I'd end up like this, no.
Sometimes I dream I'm an exterminating angel, a traveling executioner from heaven,
Sent to give you the prettiest death I know, call the grave and make a reservation.
You never said I'll end up like this, you never said I'd end up like this, no.
How the fuck are we supposed to know when I'm a monster with the way you refuse to die?
How the fuck are we supposed to know if we're in love or if we're in pain?
Why is my wound a front door to you, am I my own shadow?
WE'RE FROM AMERICA
We're from America, where we eat our young; we're from America, it's where Jesus was born;We're from America, where they let you come on their faces; we're from America and we speak American.
We don't believe in credibility because we know that we're fucking incredible.
I want to be a martyr, I don't want to be a victim, be a killer with a god so they can call me a hero.
God is an excuse, so sing it with me, we're from America, you can sing it with me.
We don't like to kill our unborn, we need them to grow up and fight our wars.
We believe in everything we say and we say it because we believe it.
We're from America, you can sing it with me.
We're from America, we turn literature into litter; we're from America, we believe in being a quitter.
I'm in recovery from America.
I HAVE TO LOOK UP JUST TO SEE HELL
The fruit is speechless before our sorceries, the party has just begun,Time lapse and dancing and rotting in place and we've reached the high end of low.
You can take me, the grave can take me, the earth is waiting to eat us alive,
I love you damaged, I need human wreckage, I have to look up just to see hell.
Fallen from grace now for you, this is why you should run.
The core of a woman is where her body chooses to revolve like a corpse,
Centrifugal, melted under the skin, bacteria, into the napalm heart I explode.
You can take me, the grave can take me, the earth is waiting to eat us alive,
I love you damaged, I need human wreckage, I have to look up just to see hell.
Fallen from grace now for you, this is why you should run.
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness will never understand it.
INTO THE FIRE
This is the film, close to the third act and the misery; it's not rain, you rapist werewolves, it's God pissing down on you.You won't die alone cause I'll break off my own arms and sharpen my bones and stab you once for each time I thought of you.
Trying to take something you'll never be good enough to even look upon.
It's better to push something when it's slipping than to risk being dragged down.
If you want to hit bottom, don't bother trying taking me with you,
And I won't answer if you call, I'm two heartbeats ahead in hell trying to break your fall.
This isn't a mob, I won't need to change the names, everyone around you has murdered someone's something sacred,
There isn't one nail without dirt under it, there isn't any white cotton panties that aren't soaked and stained red.
It's better to push something when it's slipping than to risk being dragged down.
If you want to hit bottom, don't bother trying taking me with you,
And I won't answer if you call, I'm two heartbeats ahead in hell trying to break your fall.
Into the fire.
15
If you can hear this, don't assume that I'm talking to you,Yesterday everything I thought I believed in died, but today is my birthday.
I don't need you, I'll say it to myself, it doesn't mean I won't need somebody,
Anyone with half a soul will hear this and they'll never leave me.
If you don't know what forever feels like, I'll show you what it feels like without it.
This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in.
I can get by now, I'm not really dead but I really needed someone to save me,
Leaving me alone to die is worse than having the guts to kill me.
If you don't know what forever feels like, I'll show you what it feels like without it.
This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in.
Not letting you win won't satisfy me, I'll teach you about loss.
