GASOLINE
Last night I saw that beauty queen, watched her paint her face on.I want to be that magazine that she bases life on.
I want to waste her monthly blood, want to get some on my love,
Want to get some gasoline and burn her house down.
She's got nothing to say, she's got bills to pay, she's got no one to hate except for me.
Last night I saw that beauty queen, she's getting high on Revlon.
I want to be that magazine that she wastes her life on.
I want to waste her monthly blood, want to get some on my love,
Want to get some gasoline, and burn her house down.
She's got nothing to say, she's got bills to pay, she's got no one to hate except for me.
When I saw that beauty queen, I watched her paint her face on,
I want to be the one unclean that she wipes her ass on.
I want to waste her monthly blood, want to get some on my love,
Want to get some gasoline, and burn her house down.
She's got nothing to say, she's got bills to pay, she's got no one to hate except for me.
She's got nothing but shame, she's takes pills for pain,
She's got no one to blame except for me.
69 TEA
Lonely in this white room, there are pads everywhere.Chafing straitjacket, I won't die in there.
Save me, smiling Jesus, get off that cross.
Hate me, screaming masses, I don't care if I'm lost.
Don't tell me that you're all better, I don't care if you are.
Don't tell me that you're trendsetters, I don't care if you are.
Lowly with my head bowed, there are rats everywhere.
Feed me bread and water, I won't die in there.
Save me, smiling Jesus, get off that cross.
Hate me, screaming masses, I don't care if I'm lost.
Don't tell me that you're all better, I don't care if you are.
Don't tell me that you're trendsetters, I don't care if you are.
Say you will, take my pills, say you will, faking ill.
Don't tell me that you're all better, I don't care if you are.
Don't tell me that you're bedwetters, I don't care if you are.
FINE AGAIN
It seems like every day's the same and I'm left to discover on my own.It seems like everything is grey and there's no colour to behold.
They say it's over and I'm fine again, try to stay sober, feels like I'm dying here.
And I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine one day, too late, I'm in hell.
I am prepared now, seems everyone's gonna be fine one day too late, just as well.
I feel the dream in me expire and there's no one left to blame it on.
I hear you label me a liar cause I can't seem to get this through.
You say it's over, I can sigh again, why try to stay sober when I'm dying here?
And I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine one day too late, I'm in hell.
I am prepared now, seems everyone's gonna be fine one day too late, just as well.
And I'm not scared now, I must assure you, you're never gonna get away.
And I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine one day, too late, I'm in hell.
I am prepared now, seems everyone's gonna be fine one day too late, just as well.
I am prepared now, seems everything's gonna be fine for me, for myself.
I am prepared now, and I am fine again.
NEEDLES
I never seem to find a reason to let you in again, or forgive you.I'm sick of feeling like I need you, knowing I never did, but I miss you.
Taking and breaking and hating, I remember all you said to me now.
Faking, forsaking and failing, my memories are all stained again.
Let me get inside your head, let me show you I'm prepared,
Let me stick my needles in and let me hurt you again.
I never reach my indecision to let you see again all I give you.
I'm sick of feeding your attention, knowing I never did, I distress you.
Taking and breaking and hating, I remember all you said to me now.
Faking, forsaking and failing, my memories are all stained again.
Let me get inside your head, let me show you I'm prepared,
Let me stick my needles in and let me hurt you again.
Fuck you for killing me.
You're fucking killing me.
DRIVEN UNDER
Do you think I'm faking when I'm lying next to you?Do you think that I am blind, there's nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind, something lost and left behind.
Do you know I'm faking now?
Do you know I'm faking when I'm lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind, something lost for me to find.
Do you know I'm faking?
Then she told me she had a gun, it sounded like she'd used it once before on him.
Then she told me she had a gun, it sounded like she'd used it once before, oh man.
I guess you know I'm faking when I tell you I love you.
I guess you know that I am blind to everything you say and do.
Must be something on my mind, there's nothing left for me to hide.
Do you know I'm faking?
Then she told me she had a gun, it sounded like she'd used it once before on him.
Then she told me she had a gun, it sounded like she'd used it once before, oh man.
We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face.
I need you, I breathe you, I can't go through this all again.
Then she told me she had a gun, it sounded like she'd used it once before on him.
Then she told me she had a gun, it sounded like she'd used it once before, oh man.
Then she told me she had a gun, she said she wants to use it on me now.
PRIDE
Take it, break it, rape it, forsake it, in time you willFind it, maim it, thrill it and shame it, in time you will
Steal my pride, leave me blind.
Take it, break it, rape it, forsake it, in time you will
Find me, maim me, thrill me and shame me, in time you will
Steal my pride, leave me blind now.
I am silence sent to find you, I am violence sent to find you.
I am silence sent to find you, I am violence sent to fuck you up.
Take me, break me, rape me, forsake me, in time you will
Find me, maim me, thrill me and shame me, in time you will
Hate me, well now kill me.
Steal my pride, leave me blind.
SYMPATHETIC
And my words will be here when I'm gone as I'm fading away against the wind,And the words you left me linger on as I'm failing again now, never to change this,
And I'm sympathetic, never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam,
And it seems I'm alone here, hollow again as I'm flailing again against the wind,
And the scars I am left with swallow again as I'm failing again now, never to change this,
And I'm sympathetic, never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam.
The same old feelings are taking over and I can't seem to make them go away,
And I can't take all the pressure sober, but I can't seem to make it go away.
And I'm sympathetic, never letting on I feel the way I do
As I'm falling apart again at the seam.
YOUR BORE
You make me feel like I'm a whore, like I'm the one who's there to bore you.It's always gonna be this way, get the fuck away.
Cause I can't seem to show you what you want to see.
I can never give you everything you need.
I'm sick of wasting time on what can never be.
I cannot control you into wanting me.
You always want to steal the light by stepping on the ones who fight for you.
I'm always gonna be the same, get the fuck away.
Cause I can't seem to show you what you want to see.
I can never give you everything you need.
I'm sick of wasting time on what can never be.
I cannot control you into wanting me.
I hate what you are, I'll break you and leave you scarred.
FADE AWAY
I want to be there when you call, I want to catch you when you fall,I want to be the one you need, I want to be the one you breathe.
Today's the day we'll fade away, today's the day we'll find our way grown.
I want to be there when you cry, and when you're down I'll help you fly.
I want to be the one you need, I want to be the one you breathe.
Today's the day we'll fade away, today's the day we'll find our way grown.
But I'm coming back, and I'm taking back everything I can.
It's breaking me up and tearing me up, it's all I have.
PIG
Have you ever wanted to die when you were without your friends?Haven't you said goodbye to the one on who your life depends?
Could it be that I don't want to save you anymore?
Could it be that we don't have what it takes?
Take it away cause I don't like this anymore.
Take it away, give it away.
Have you ever wished for fire to burn your mind restraints?
Haven't you been for hire or suffered those cheap complaints?
Could it be that I don't want to save you anymore?
Could it be that we don't have what it takes?
Take it away cause I don't like this anymore.
Take it away, give it away.
Have you ever wanted to die when you were without your friends?
Haven't you said goodbye to the one on who your life depends?
Could it be that I don't want to hurt you anymore?
Could it be that we don't have what it takes?
Take it away cause I don't like this anymore.
Take it away and throw it away.
FUCK IT
I guess I like it when we play (the way you drag me down),I guess I like it when you hate me (the way you drag me down),
Cause I can't face myself in the mirror (I'm left alone with all my pain),
And I disgrace myself in the mirror (I'm left alone with my shame).
(Fuck it!) I see you in me, I feel you in me, I'll heal you in me.
I guess I like it when we fight (the way you drag me down),
I guess I like it when you smite me (the way you drag me down),
Cause I can't face myself in the mirror (I'm left alone with all my pain),
And I disgrace myself in the mirror (I'm left alone with my shame).
(Fuck it!) I see you in me, I feel you in me, I'll heal you in me.
You're out of luck, can't get a piece of me, it's all blown up, don't ever fuck with me.
I cannot please you all forever, I cannot please you at all (I can feel you up behind me).
(Fuck it!) I see you in me, I feel you in me, I'll heal you in me.
BROKEN
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh,I want to hold you high and steal your pain away.
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well,
I want to hold you high and steal your pain.
Cause I'm broken when I'm open and I don't feel like I am strong enough.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome and I don't feel right when you're gone away.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again,
I want to hold you high, you steal my pain away.
There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight,
I want to hold you high and steal your pain.
Cause I'm broken when I'm open and I don't feel like I am strong enough.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome and I don't feel right when you're gone away.
from the album "Disclaimer II"
SOLD ME
Here I stand before myself, I see something's out of place.You've tasted all my purity, now there's nothing left to waste.
The feeling gets so in my way, it's getting lost in my delivery.
The feeling gets so in my way, I'm getting lost in your periphery.
Then you sold me up the river again, and you made me start it over again,
And you moved me and soothed me, then you fought me,
And you left me wondering what the hell, what is wrong with me?
I never felt like I had failed until the day you came undone.
I never felt like I was lost until the day you killed me again.
The feeling gets so in my way, it's getting lost in my delivery.
The feeling gets so in my way, I'm getting lost in your periphery.
Then you sold me up the river again, and you made me start it over again,
And you moved me and you soothed me, then you fought me,
And you left me wondering what the hell, what is wrong with me?
Are you stronger for cutting me open?
Are you stronger for leaving me broken?
CIGARETTES
They suck you in like cigarettes while hanging you out to dry,Making you feel like a hypocrite because you cannot lie.
You are the reason we will never be set free,
We want to be like you, we want to be so cool, just like you.
They're hanging you out with their whiskey breath and leaving you out in the sun,
Making you feel like a hypocrite because you cannot run.
You are the reason we will never be set free,
We want to be like you, we want to be so cool, just like you.
LOVE HER
I met a girl who hated the world, she used her body to sell her soul.Every time they'd break her and pay, tear out her heart and leave her in pain.
I never found out how she survived all of the sadness she kept inside.
I never found out how she could lie with a smile on her face and the scratches she'd hide.
You could love her if you paid, you could have her every day,
You could love her if you prayed, you could have her every way.
Down on her knees, she wept on the floor, this hopeless life she wanted no more.
Dead in her mind and cold to the bone, she opened her eyes and saw she was alone.
She never found out how much I tried, all of the sadness she kept made me blind.
She never found out how much I cried, the rope so tight on the night that she died.
You could love her if you paid, you could have her every day,
You could love her if you prayed, you could have her every way.
I never found out how she survived, a life lived in lies is a life of denial.
I never found out how she could lie with a smile on her face and the darkness inside.
TAKE ME AWAY
As beautiful as fire against the evening sky,You fuel the lost desire, I no longer want to die.
Take me by the hand and see beyond the lies,
Strip away the fences, leave me needing, leave me high.
I know you're so solo, but I can't.
Take me away, I don't want to lose control.
Take me away, I don't want to lose it all.
Relieved of all the pain you let me see again,
Delivered from my shame now and I am lost for what to say.
Cleansed and pure and weak, I suffer when I dream,
I need to find a purpose, I need to feel you needing me.
I know you're so solo, but I can't.
Take me away, I don't want to lose control.
Take me away, I don't want to lose it all.
Pure and weak, I suffer when I dream.
Cleansed of me, I suffer when I dream.
Cause I want you to stay, you take the pain away,
I want you to stay, I need you here to keep me sane.
GOT IT MADE
So I said this once before, I'm never gonna give you in, no, not again,Cause I've wasted all I've known, to watch it fade and slip away now from my hands,
And what I have I have in mind and I think about you all the time.
I'm feeling miles away, you think I've got it made, I don't belong here.
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends, I don't belong here.
Now I hide myself away, I never want to feel again, no, not again,
Cause I faced this all alone, I let it seep and wash away now, it's all the same,
And what I have I have in mind and I think about you all the time.
I'm feeling miles away, you think I've got it made, I don't belong here.
I'm feeling like a candle burning at both ends, I don't belong here.
Never run away, son.
OUT OF MY WAY
Out of my way!I can't pass up this opportunity to make myself absurd,
I can't pass up this opportunity to let myself be heard.
Would you like to be the one who sees me lose this all?
Would you like to be the one who sees me fall?
Nobody's gonna stand in my way; give it up son, I'm doing this my way.
You like to think the worst is over now, but you cant breathe at all.
You like to think you're owed a favour now, man you've seen it all,
Did you want to be the one who pushed me off the wall?
Did you want to be the one who let me fall?
Nobody's gonna stand in my way; give it up son, I'm doing this my way.
You can't hold me down.
I can't pass up this opportunity to make myself absurd,
I can't pass up this opportunity to let myself be heard.
Would you like to be the one who sees me lose this all?
Would you like to be the one who sees me fall?
Nobody's gonna stand in my way; give it up son, I'm doing this my way.
Out of my way!
HANG ON
Well now I found myself, wish I was someone else.My hands are stained with love, wish I could take it away.
I hid behind the shell, in time the pain will melt.
My heart is stained with love, wish I could fake it.
I gave my life away, there's nothing left to say.
I gave my life away, you take it in your way.
My selfish enemy still has the best of me.
Empty and feeling numb, wish I could take it away.
I can't control the need, too weak to not concede,
Wish I was deaf and dumb, wish I could fake it.
I gave my life away, there's nothing left to say.
I gave my life away, you take it in your way.
I can't pretend we're the same.
Now I found myself, wish I was someone else.
My hands are stained with love, wish I could fake.
I gave my life away, there's nothing left to say.
I gave my life away, you take it in your way.
from the album "Karma and Effect"
BECAUSE OF ME
Here she comes again, she's feeling like she's already won.I believe it's gonna end again, all for naught.
My philosophy is things are just as wrong as they seem,
I believe it's gonna end this way, atrocity.
Do you believe in love like I believe in pain?
Nobody died for you, somebody pray for me.
When you see me, cut me down and I will force it underground,
There's no one left to hurt but me, and it's because of me, right?
There he walks away, he's feeling like he's having them on.
I believe he's gonna bend again, and all for naught.
My philosophy is things are just as wrong as they seem.
I've got to get you off of me, an oddity.
Do you believe in love like I believe in pain?
Nobody died for you, someone pray for me.
When you see me, cut me down and I will force it underground,
There's no one left to hurt but me, and it's because of me, right?
I want to see you suffer.
REMEDY
Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me,And speak but don't pretend, I won't defend you anymore, you see.
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you.
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear.
If you want me, hold me back.
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail, and so we go back to the remedy.
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie,
And tell yourself, 'You'll be the death of me.'
I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away,
So come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long.
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for pleasure.
I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here.
If you want me, hold me back.
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail, and so we go back to the remedy.
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie,
And tell yourself, 'You'll be the death of me.'
Hold your eyes closed, take me in.
TRUTH
If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?Though I'm closer to wrong, I'm no further from right,
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me,
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me.
No, there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie,
But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised,
And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give,
Deprived of my conscience, this all belongs to me.
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them, beaten down again, I've failed you.
I'm weaker now, my friend, I belong to them, beaten down again, I've failed you.
The deception you show is your own parasite,
Just a word of advice you can heed if you like,
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me,
Convinced on the inside you're so much more than me.
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them, beaten down again, I've failed you.
I'm weaker now, my friend, I belong to them, beaten down again, I've failed you.
THE GIFT
Hold me now, I need to feel relief, like I never wanted anything.I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold onto, I'm so ashamed of defeat.
And I'm out of reason to believe in me, I'm out of trying to get by.
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me, I don't belong here and I'm not well.
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living, right on the wrong side of it all.
I can't face myself when I wake up and look inside a mirror, I'm so ashamed of that thing.
I suppose I'll let it go til I have something more to say for me, I'm so afraid of defeat.
And I'm out of reason to believe in me, I'm out of trying to defy.
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me, I don't belong here and I'm not well.
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living, right on the wrong side of it all.
Hold me now, I need to feel complete, like I matter to the one I need.
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me, I don't belong here and I'm not well.
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living, right on the wrong side of it all.
Now I'm ashamed of this, I am so ashamed of this,
Now I'm so ashamed of this, I am so ashamed of me.
BURRITO
I try to hide myself, give this to someone else.My hands are stained with scum, wish I could wash it away.
You keep taking away and keep breaking.
I can't believe in yesterday, I feel you coming in.
I can't just stand by and watch you, save yourself as you fall from grace.
When you come around, I won't be your sympathy.
The worst is over now, you said it anyhow.
My life in monochrome, wish I could regain control.
You keep taking away, I keep faking.
I can't believe in yesterday, I feel you coming in.
I can't just stand by and watch you, save yourself as you fall from grace.
When you come around, I won't be your sympathy.
Find me, feel me, fill me, then cut me up again.
Hate me!
GIVEN
Trust all the things I tell you are true, dress up in your best so I can be proud of you,And never believe I won't turn on you, and never believe I do this for you.
You're leading me on again, and I find it, yeah I like it,
And I'm reeling in awe for sure, now I know it was given to me.
How I wish I could be rid of this ennui, make you regret and make you afraid of me.
And never believe I do this for me, and never believe I'll do this gently.
You're leading me on again, and I find it, yeah I like it,
And I'm reeling in awe for sure, now I know it was given to me.
Can't believe in broken promises, and render conscious all of me.
I'll tell you it's all for you, then deny it.
NEVER LEAVE
Will I fall again into dismay? Will I be ashamed of crying?And I know it's never been the way that I described, but I am afraid of trying.
She's the one who keeps me all excited, she keeps me begging for more,
She's the one who deems me uninvited, now it's over.
Never leave me and don't deceive me, I'll keep on crawling, my friend.
Never tease me and don't leave me here, it's all the same in the end.
Now I find that I am weaker fare, that I am ashamed of lying,
And I know things never feel the way that's right inside, and I am afraid of dying.
Cause you're the one who keeps me all excited, you keep me begging for more.
You're the one who keeps me uninvited, now it's over.
Never leave me and don't deceive me, I'll keep on crawling, my friend.
Never tease me and don't leave me here, it's all the same in the end, it's only a symbol.
You've got me falling away and I am afraid, take back what I said.
WORLD FALLS AWAY
Must be something they're hiding, must be reasons that no one will dare to tell,Must be something inside me, but I don't think so anymore.
It's hurting again now and I don't need friends when I have foes like you.
It's hurting again now, it's killing me to be here all alone.
Go away, it's all the same, there's more for me.
As the world falls away and I can't find a reason,
As the world turns to grey, it's killing me unwillingly and I am just the same as you.
Must be something confided, must be some way to feel the pain and heal again.
Pain and pleasure inviting, I don't think so anymore.
It's hurting again now and I don't need pills when I have drugs like you.
It's hurting again now, it's killing me to be here all alone.
Go away, it's all the same, there's more for me.
As the world falls away and I can't find a reason,
As the world turns to grey, it's killing me unwillingly and I am just afraid
As the world falls away and I can't find a reason,
As the world turns to grey, you're killing me unwillingly and I am just the same as you.
I'm just like you, just not a fool, I'm just like you, just not as cool.
Shut up!
TONGUE
Well, the tongue inside my mouth is not for sale, any spirit left in me is fading fast.Could you throw another stone to ease my pain? Could you throw another stone to seal my fate?
Cause I don't believe in this world anymore, I don't believe in me,
And if I can rise above this, I'll be saved. (Can anybody save me?)
And if I can die for love, then I'm enslaved. (Can anybody save me?)
Second chances are too few and far between, will to change the circumstance eludes me still.
Should I grow another shell in which to live? Should I grow another shell and not forgive?
I don't believe in this world anymore, I don't believe in me,
And if I can rise above this, I'll be saved, (Can anybody save me?)
And if I can die for love, then I'm enslaved. (Can anybody save me?)
Goodbye cruel world, at last you see me drown.
I'M THE ONE
Here she's coming and she's drunk again, she's only seventeen.Her daddy said, 'Well, that's enough of that, come be my little queen.'
And now he's touching her wrong again, he's gonna give her disease,
He never wanted it anyway, he only does as he please.
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one, I couldn't hurt her like everyone,
And tell her that I said I'm the one, and I don't deserve her.
Here he's coming and he's drunk again, he's on amphetamines,
Scratch his nails down the other leg cause you're my little queen.
And now he's touching her wrong again, she's only trying to get by.
He never wanted it anyway, he never soils the child.
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one, I couldn't hurt her like everyone,
And tell her that I said I'm the one, and I don't deserve her.
We're coming for you.
SIMPLEST MISTAKE
Watch it blow my mind, it's something I am ill-prepared to remedy,But let it slow the time it takes to die and close your eyes to your enemy.
Defy!
Self-made millionaires won't take ideas from all the little plebeians,
Just suffocate with smiles and force-fed lies and close your mind to reality.
Deny!
It feels like I'm losing again when I've lost everything, I'm sure I will see more clearly.
Lose what I'm feeling to them and not feel anything, I'm sure I will bleed sincerely tonight.
So you make the simplest mistake,
And fearlessly you deny your involvement in my demise, but give me your open hand.
DISEASED
Leave your mark under my skin, oh my, how strong you are,And feast your eyes on my disdain and hope this one won't scar.
I will never belong to you again, I will never belong to you.
Push if you still need my pain, cause I will never tell.
Just scream if you still hate my name, cause I'll be where I fell.
Come sit close to me, let me feel your breath.
Come sit close to me, hands around my neck.
I will never belong to you again, I will never belong to you.
And if I decide that I am alive then I'm diseased and ungrateful,
And if I confide that I am a liar then I'm diseased and ungrateful.
Push it in til it breaks, if it bleeds then I'll be okay.
Come sit close to me.
PLASTIC MAN
I am a plastic man, wish I can be the one you could be proud of.I'm losing heart again, wish I could show you what you think I'm made of.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade.
I am a perfect sale, just wrap me up with a bow and flowers.
I will neglect to tell, I'll sell your story that we love each other.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade,
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I'll sing my last refrain.
Why don't you let me be, and I'll pretend I'm well?
Cause you're blind to see, and I'm too tired to tell.
And in your apathy, your head begins to swell,
Another tragedy, but you're too cold to feel.
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I know this pain will fade,
Someday I know I'll find my place, someday I'll sing my last refrain.
[In Afrikaans]KOM SAAM MET MYKom saam met my, ons sal die 'lede agterlaat.Kom saam met my, en ons sal sien wat gebeur. Ons is so bly, dit is die einde van die plaat. Kom saam met my, ons wil dit alles beter maak. Jy kan hier bly, sodra jy alles gaan beleef. Die plaat's verby, en ons soek 'n koue bier. Kom drink met my, daar is so veel om oor to praat. Kom saam met my, ons wil dit alles beter maak. | [English translation]COME WITH MECome with me, we'll leave the past behind.Come with me, and we'll see what happens. We are so happy, it's the end of the record. Come with me, we want to make it all better. You can stay here, as long as you will experience everything. The record's over, and we want a cold beer. Come drink with me, there is so much to talk about. Come with me, we want to make it all better. |
from the album "One Cold Night"
IMMORTALITY
Vacate is the word, vengeance has no place so near to her, cannot find the comfort in this world.Artificial tears, vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers, vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere.
A truant finds home and a will to hold on, but there's a trapdoor in the sun, it's immortality.
As privileged as a whore, victims in demand for public show, swept out through the cracks beneath the door.
Holier than thou, how? Surrendered, executed anyhow, scrawls resolved, cigar box on the floor.
A truant finds home and a will to hold onto, but there's a trapdoor in the sun, it's immortality.
I cannot stop the thought of running out the door, coming up, a which-way sign, and all good truants must decide.
Stripped and sold mom and an auctioned forearm and whiskers in the sink.
A truant finds home and a will to hold onto, some die just to live.
TIED MY HANDS
Can you remember when we used to laugh, but never in distress?Or can you picture how we used to pride ourselves on neatness?
I can't understand what you meant to me, made me wild then you tied my hands.
Can you remember when we used to laugh at those mistakes we made?
Or can you picture then how we used to drive and never reach the end?
Cause I can't understand what you meant to me, made me wild then you tied my hands.
But since you went away, made me find I have nothing to say to you.
