Turned into a Monster - Static-X lyrics

from the album “Start A War”

THE ENEMY

Confine me, it’s all that I see, sickness keeps you following me,
Keep it inside, all that is sharp, hold it inside, all that is dark.
Tear, I’ll shut you up.
Down, I’ll destroy you, kill or be killed; down, you’ve become the enemy.
I thank you for making me feel, make me feel like I want to kill,
You show me you’re evil inside, now won’t you just curl up and die?
Tear, I’ll shut you up.
Down, I’ll destroy you, kill or be killed; down, you’ve become the enemy.
You make me hate, you make me hate you.

I’M THE ONE

Living in the moment, forgotten and repeated; no, I cannot be that one, no, I cannot be beaten.
I’m the one, I don’t want you, I don’t need you, with closed eyes I see right through you.
I was crawling, always falling, you don’t know what I have lived through.
No, I am not a rich man, no, I am not a bitch, I know you made one mistake,
This is my life, you cannot take it.
I’m the one, I don’t want you, I don’t need you, with closed eyes I see right through you.
I was crawling, always falling, you don’t know what I have lived through.
Automatic termination, self-destructive revolution.
Bring it down to the ground, I’m unchained, not a slave.

START A WAR

Sliding, spinning, turn around, feel my heart pound,
Motor screaming, sliding down, got to turn it around.
Danger nowhere, by myself, I burn the thrill,
Claw my way out right now, got to try to get out.
I’ll start a war with it, I’ll start a war with this fucking emotion.
I’ll start my war against you, you’re one of them,
You call yourself a victim but you’re at it again.
I’ve felt stranger, paradise you made me kill,
Now I’m far out, right now, got to try to get out.
I’ll start a war with it, I’ll start a war with this fucking emotion.
I’ll take it all, give me some more.

PIECES

I found a piece of what I want to find, I got a taste of what’s on the outside.
I feel it pounding, I feel it bending, I feel it breaking, breaking me inside.
I got, not yet, smash my fucking fist, my frustration.
My body, my mind, my soul and my life, so far, so near, so hard, so clear.
My body, my mind, my soul and my life, too far to go, too high, too low.
Killing me inside, take a drink, forget, chemical passion drowning my defect.
I feel it pounding, I feel it bending, I feel it breaking all that is perfect.
I got, not yet, smash my fucking fist, my frustration.
My body, my mind, my soul and my life, so far, so near, so hard, so clear.
My body, my mind, my soul and my life, too far to go, too high, too low.

DIRTHOUSE

My dirt house, watch it happen from the box, mind wander, dirty dirty word.
My dirt house, this is here it all comes down, look into my eye, you feel my skin, it’s dirt.
Drive me wild, remember when you blow my mind? Cut through me, living in the dirt.
These dogs are curled up in a little ball, these dogs are freezing their asses off.
Go, pick up the pieces, I want to call this my home.
Go, pick up the pieces, I’ve got some pain of my own.
Open the box, see what’s inside, you make the call, sick of it all again.
Tear me down, pushing on my every nerve, scares me, I hope I don’t get burnt.
Look closer, look into my dirty mind, feeling sick inside, my blood has turned to fucking dirt.
Go, pick up the pieces, I want to call this my home.
Go, pick up the pieces, I’ve got some pain of my own.

SKINNYMAN

My little girl, where are you? My fucked up world destroyed you.
Day after day, I get it now, I just go on without you.
Twisted inside, six miles high, I rehearse how to say goodbye to you.
Skinny man, turned into a monster, I’m a motherfucker.
Wrap it up tight, emotions are distorted, it’s no surprise, nothing alive, all hope has been aborted.
Day after day, I get it now, I just go on without you.
Twisted inside, six miles high, I rehearse how to say goodbye to you.
Skinny man, turned into a monster, I’m a motherfucker.
Inside I’m dead, all used up, goddamn I miss her.
As my skin turns yellow I forget this hell, as the skies are bruised and the rain comes down,
As my face turns pale, try to deal with these thoughts, at the end of it all, I still miss you.

JUST IN CASE

Keep me around, waiting behind glass, in case you need, I’ll be your piece of ass.
Pretend to want me, string me along, break glass if needed, you can make me crawl.
Cause you make me feel like a dog, you can’t see my emotion.
Is this for real? I’m a man sinking deep.
I was strung out for such a long time, now I own myself, yes I am mine.
No longer will I be your just-in-case, no longer your shit do I need to taste.
Cause you make me feel like a dog, you can’t see my emotion.
Is this for real? I’m a man sinking deep in the ocean.
I don’t want to be your just-in-case boy.

SET IT OFF

Wait every hour of every day, played light, played hard, had to go my way.
I feel like death wearing a disguise, can’t catch my breath from all this noise.
I want, I’m fucking bored, give me a new found sensation.
Take it, take all the pills, I’ll try anything to get me off.
Come on, kicked in the ass, why do you tell me I can’t?
Fake it, I can’t go on, give me anything to set it off.
I bite your tongue, watch with keen eyes, I found the gun, nervous excitement.
Go on and touch it, you just might like, I sip your poison one last time.
I want, I’m fucking bored, give me a new found sensation.
Take it, take all the pills, I’ll try anything to get me off.
Come on, kicked in the ass, why do you tell me I can’t?
Fake it, I can’t go on, give me anything to set it off.
My confidence is all that’s left, under this veil I count the minutes.
I’m growing weaker, search for a glimmer, pulsating sounds come blaring out.
You may be right, my mind is gone, I’ll try anything to set this off.

I WANT TO FUCKING BREAK IT

This one’s for the assholes, this one’s for the freaks,
This one’s for the stupid fuckers trying to keep me incomplete.
They can’t take me outside, they can’t take me down,
They can’t take my thoughts cause I will smash their face into the ground,
I want to fucking break it.
Feel this anger building, feel this blow your mind,
Feel this break the silence, I can’t keep my hate pent up inside.
They can’t take me outside, they can’t take me down,
They can’t take my thoughts cause I will smash their face into the ground,
I want to fucking break it, I want to crush you from the inside.
I got no time to fake it, I got no time to waste with your kind.
Take this for the last time, take this for release,
This one’s for my enemies, you know who you are, fuck off please.
I want to fucking break it.

NIGHT TERRORS

In time I’ll get this out of my mind.
Where am I, I can’t see, I fear for my life, fear of this fright.
They haunt me and they taunt me, try to relax, let it happen.
My hopes turn to crystal matter, watch them shimmer as they shatter.
Night terrors in my mind, thoughts I cannot hide, dreams that play on my cold fears.
Night terrors in my head, am I really dead, I can’t tell, it feels so real.
Remember what you once said, every passing fragile moment
Is another chance to turn it around, I want to try to work it out.
Night terrors in my mind, thoughts I cannot hide, dreams that play on my cold fears.
Night terrors in my head, am I really dead, I can’t tell, it feels so real to me.
Get out of my mind, get out of my head, I wish you were dead, I can’t take it.
Get out of my mind, get out of my life, I’ll curse you tonight, I just can’t take it anymore.

OTSEGO AMIGO

Evil inside, leave death behind, into the night, Otsego life.
Holy shit, start to run, look out fuckers, here he comes,
Now he’s back from the dead, here to start the shit again.
Don’t try and get into his way, cause you won’t like the price you’ll pay,
Party down, run away, you’ll be dead either way.
When he comes, give your drink, you’ll get used to his rotting stink,
He’ll show you a time as well, in the end you’ll go to hell,
You see the filth, you see a wretch, you want it all, but there’s a catch,
All your life, all your dreams, he can hear all your screams.
Evil inside, leave death behind, into the night, Otsego life.
Otsego amigo.
Hurt the ones you love the most, he’ll make you turn white as a ghost,
Frightening beyond belief and now your life is filled with grief,
With his bony hands of death, he’ll choke you til your final breath,
Now you see, now you know, your evil friend of Otsego.
Otsego amigo.

MY DAMNATION

Time to take control (I control this),
It’s harder than you know (got to change this),
Feel the muscle twitch (it’s electric) when you let it go.
Feeling primitive (in my dark room), pounding in my head (creeping silence),
They will never know (all the secrets) better left unsaid.
Always the same and I didn’t know you were taking what’s mine, I can see it show through,
Waiting to break me cause every day it’s my damnation.
Take another step (look around me), all that I have left (taken from me),
Things that could have been (are forgotten), haunting me again.
Set it my own ways (never changing), make it through the day (rearranging),
Nothing more to lose (I can tell there’s) nothing more to say.
Always the same and I didn’t know you were taking what’s mine, I can see it show through,
Waiting to break me cause every day it’s my damnation.
Always to blame you, you crucified me, leave it behind, I can’t take this hating.
I’ll make it go away and every day it’s my damnation.
Go ahead, you throw the dirt, you tried to make it hurt me, everything breaking me.
Always the same, always to blame, over and over it’s my damnation.
from the album “Cannibal”

CANNIBAL

Thrash it, bash it, live to smash it, light the spark, reach out and crash it,
Rip it stronger, grind it longer, harder, faster, rabbit master.
Sleeping beast, rest in peace, far too primal, rip the flesh, taste of death, bite the gristle.
Killing game primitive inquisition, tear it up, inside out, small incision.
Assimilate, trust in hate, your obsession, celebrate, assassinate your religion,
Us and them, hollow field, sensing fear, cannibal, can’t believe you’re a person.
Chop it up, peel the skin, slow dissection, sick minds, I’m blind to the reason,
Tune it up, touch down, angel grinder, cannibal, watch and prey on the victim.
Killing game, watch and prey on the victim; rabid beast, can’t believe you’re a cannibal.

NO SUBMISSION

Shut out, cut out, bloodless, hopeless, hating as I fade.
Pulsate, pushing, head exploding, razor sharp the tongue is.
Put down, run out, I could care less, throw down as I hate.
Feeding, needing, severed, bleeding, pull it out, exposing.
Take a beating, needle speeding, fall into a daze.
Defecation, detonation, tear the tongue apart and
Terminate it, suffocate it, spitting in your face.
Accelerate, exterminate it, take it all in hand, there’s no submission.
No submission, blue turns to white.

BEHEMOTH

Abandon me, a horror scene, a time storm, a pile up.
Exterminate it, calculate it, ricochet, smart bullet.
Get louder, get higher, get true to form, behemoth.
Verify storm of the eye to detonate the fusion, get it?
Wrecking, dragging, nagging, sagging, blocking, cocking, smoking, choking.
Get louder, get higher, get true to form, behemoth.
Intensity, it’s hard to see, diffusing the tune up, get it?

CHEMICAL LOGIC

Discover disaster, dismantled destroyer, distorted drum fire, aborted short wire.
Chainsaw killer, it’s over the shoulder, your sorrow, tomorrow, behaviour, your saviour.
Illogical choir, we die young, desire, you slither, you wither, the terror, your error.
Pig hammer, the static, the bats in the attic, chemical logic.
Freak out, head on, I play the part; tomorrow you’re gone, I live on the limit.
Freak on the sonic, beat on the chronic, melt down some of this chemical tonic.
Convulsion, iridium, tactical repulsion, revision, break it down.
Crush down the pedal, rush on the metal, extract some of that deafening noise blast.
Crank on the heavy, main switch, dirt witch, chemical logic.

DESTROYER

Take it down with a steam hammer, pack it hard, lead shot in your mood shooter.
Choose your poison, have a drink with your painkiller, take us down.
Wreck a party like it don’t matter, smash it up, dead guitar, broken beat maker.
If I could I’d trade it all for an automator, here it comes.
You do it again, destroyer.
Cosmo sucker, bad breath crier, bad timing robo-crap, you’re a great liar.
Overdrive, deep dirt on your shit highway, black-eyed.
Fuzzy filter, hollow head wobble, take a trip, get a grip before you get in trouble.
And you wonder why you’re called the destroyer, stereo.

FORTY WAYS

Drink all day, fuck all day, crush all day, grind away, starting wars, seething whores, closing doors, power chords.
Open wide, scratch your eye, bite the sky, fallen lie, noise all day, find a way, kill the daze, forty ways to hold you down.
Low all day, high all day, disarray, violate, pay to play, every day, static ways, crystal days.
Open wide, scratch your eye, bite the sky, fallen lie, noise all day, find a way, kill the daze, forty ways to hold you down.

CHROMA-MATIC

Winding it up like a wound metal fuzz box, tuning it up, make your neck bend round,
Plugging it in to the primary noise box, making it raw, make your brain shut down.
Origin known to the few, chroma-matic, it shakes your eyes and it shocks you wide,
Tuning it down to the end note, feedback, fuzz back, head scratch, phase loop, heart attack.
Origin known to the few, chroma-matic, it shakes your eyes and it shocks you wide,
Tuning it down to the end note, feedback, full stack, head crack, slam that Cadillac.

CUTS YOU UP

I make no apologies for the past, I had to live through it all to get where I am, fuck it all.
If you don’t like what I am then don’t you look at me.
Who ever made you a god, who ever gave you the right to criticise, take another slice?
Cut out, shut out, run out, tear digital noise out, it cuts you up.
Heavy hate will feed it, sharp sized razor bleed it, it cuts you up.
I take no bullshit, in the past I took it all, never again.
Shut it up, put it out, if you can’t handle this shit then don’t you stick around.
What I became is stronger, what I have made you cannot criticize, new found eyes.

REPTILE

Shedding your skin, it’s falling to pieces, feeling within, body is cold, cold to the bone.
Bestial sin, you’re trying to keep it, feeling within, spirit is old.
Let me in, it can never happen, biting me with a poisonous mouth, a venomous shout.
Tear me apart, chewing the gristle, chewing it up, spitting me out, reptile.

ELECTRIC PULSE

It’s time to melt you down, it’s time to strap you in, your mind’s about to be diminished.
I scream to get me off, air blast to pull you in, you feel the atrophy, electric pulse.
Nightmares to shut you down, static to keep you in, darkness what you don’t see, atomic.
Shockwaves to set you off, it’s time to throw the switch, it’s time that you receive electric pulse.

GOAT

Freak out, don’t you take the cop out, chain reactor, touch down, take a drum and tie it down.
Grinder, pour it in and grind it, put it through the grater, use your hole to find it.
Turn around, freak out, drop out, go again, turn around, freak out, drop out, goat.
Echo, low reverberation, step it up, sharp intake, animal sensation.
Discord, shoot to hit, brain melter, heavy turbine crackle, justify this shackle.

TEAM HATE

Divided, suspicion, you corroded, I turn it up, hate team hate.
Your hate is your mission, take your motive, I blow it up, hate team hate.
Your hatred, explosive eye, I fight it, I shut it down, hate team hate.
