She 03:38
She asked me for my name I told her it's all the same, there's never enough names She said she understood but from the look in her eyes I saw she didn’t try Nevertheless She said she liked my coat I said it'd probably look better on you She turned away That was the very last day She is going round the bend She's going round the bend She is going round the bend Going round the bend She is going round the bend Round the bend She don't cry anymore They told her the tears made her look bored Suicide of the mind, your body is left behind She is the last one She is an astronaut She is going round the bend She's going round the bend She is going round the bend The bend She is going round the bend She's going round the bend She's going She's going She is going round the bend She's going She's going She's going round She's going round the bend

Everyone is the straight man Intoxicated with righteousness Go home and have a fit You’re the one and only You never wanted anything You’re so special You think I’m a freak Oh so special Don’t break the rules They’ve already done that Acid scars of a hippy dream I wanted everything Let me speak to the baby in charge Of a rotting kingdom We have heaven today It’s electric You want difference Well then you’re fucked up You think you’re so cool You think you’re special Starving Homogenous Oh baby can’t you see You’re a freak like me Will you break my fall You can’t save them all Will you promise me To never die Welcome to a new country The United States Of God Heil the new world leaders Heil the new world war A digital holocaust The world must end

Juvenoia 06:44
A generation washed in sadness Oh won’t you come around to hear the news You’ve been drafted, they want you to die Remember what they told you, an eye for an eye You never wanted to save yourself Are you going to jump down the well Run right back to your saviors arms Nothing but a plaster cast All of the media They want you brain washed World full of hypocrites All up in arms You never wanted to go back home I never leave you alone Find me crawling back from Hell You never wanted to love yourself You never wonder on your own You never look up form your phone Disgrace the things you call your own Curse the one upon the throne No running You never wanted to find yourself No bleeding You never wanted to hurt yourself No shunning You never wanted to love yourself No breathing You never wanted kill yourself A generation filled with apathy Is that what you want, no family To forget is to die So what do you want, to change my mind? You never wanted to be a whore Always wanted something more Break the body until it’s sore Rape the mind until it’s bored No running You never wanted to find yourself No wandering You never wanted to lose yourself No shunning You never wanted to love yourself No loving You never wanted to be yourself No bleeding You never wanted to hurt yourself No breathing You never wanted to kill yourself Never wanted to Never ever wanted to Never wanted to Never ever wanted to (never again) Never wanted to Never ever wanted Never ever wanted to Never again Never wanted to Never ever wanted to Never wanted to Never again Never wanted to Never ever wanted to Never wanted to Never again Never wanted to (ever) Never wanted to (ever) Never wanted to (oh) Never wanted to Never wanted to Never again

Wasted Youth 06:32
Your life went on without me I shouldn’t be surprised Broken sorrows swallowed dreams The sky for you cries The afternoons I consume Will be the death of me And I’m still here Still here with you At least for now And I’m still here Still here with you For who knows how long Never leaving Never breathing Never showing any feeling Unspoken words A silent truth Wasted lives and wasted youth I wish that I Wasn’t me But then who would I be? And I’m still here Still here with you At least for now And I’m still here Still here with you For who knows how long Why can’t you see Your sympathy Is breaking my heart They all say they’ll miss me so Miss me while I’m still around Your unloving world Spat me out Before I even said my name Broken words from broken mouth Apologize a thousand times Drug me up and shut me out Remember to fuck me too We were too young to live Too old to die young Never learned to accept When I was wrong We were too young to live Too old to die young Never listened to me So I wrote these songs We were too young to live Too old to die young Never learned to accept When I was wrong We were too young to live Too old to die young Never listened to me So I wrote these songs Blackened eyes To my surprise Are not a very good disguise So how much of what you told me Was all lies Oh me, oh my Oh me, oh my Because of you I have to die Oh me, oh my Oh me, oh my Never wanted me on your side Oh me, oh my Oh me, oh my Didn’t even give it a try Oh me, oh my Oh me, oh my Listen to everybody’s lies Oh me, oh my Oh me, oh my Because of you I have to die

Try to fill the hole Woven sadness worn Feels invisible Left you on your own Everybody knows Sadness comes and never goes Repeat what you’re told Try to push back when they pull Surrealistic world Empty book with pages full Try to fill the void Before it all gets old Everlasting sacred wound Rob the children of their food Reach into your inner eye Throw away what you find All your empty promises Never last a day I told you all my secrets You threw them all away Blame it all on me Nothing is your fault Try to fill the void All I found was salt Told of all the lies You gave as a disguise In death there is truth In life there is youth In death there is truth In life there is youth All your empty promises Never last a day I gave you all my secrets You threw them all away Entertain the masses Put them all to sleep Promise made of ashes Watch them as they weep I thought it was the last time That’s all it ever is Thought it couldn’t last now You want another kiss How do I deserve this Thought I’d fill the hole Angel tears are worthless Always wanted more Thought this was the last time Thought I’d fill the void My heart is overcast now Everything destroyed Thought it couldn’t last now Though I’d fill the hole Angel tears are worthless Always wanted more I thought it was the last time That’s all it ever is Thought it couldn’t last now You want another kiss How do I deserve this Always wanted more Angel tears are worthless Always wanted more Thought this was the last time Thought I’d fill the void My heart is overcast now Everything destroyed

Seventeen 05:10
It comes around There comes a sound It's like a shiver it breaks through walls It's coming round Hear it beating like a drum The melody is gone They used it up before you were born They gave you a song It was your mother's, in the basement of her home She's seventeen years old It's coming round without a sound You're six feet underground You won't be coming back today or tomorrow What good would that do after all this sorrow And I know that it's uncouth I must leave you now And I remember in our youth when you said that you Had no family You lost your memory You made a new life with me and on and on You're addicted to the sight of me You just can't get enough of me Feelings are like ecstasy and on and on Shattered glass and sidewalk trash With lonely hearts at every pass Said that I would be your last and on and on Trust me with your big secrets then ask me for another kiss Said that you would not be missed but you were wrong You're six feet underground And I am high above the clouds You're six feet underground and the moon looks especially bright from here You're six feet underground And I am high above the clouds You're six feet underground and the moon looks especially bright from here You wanted more than I could be and told me that you needed me You made me feel so guilty oh and on and on Addicted to your suicide You thought that only you could hide There's sadness here one every side and on and on Broken screams and pipe dreams and little girls with ice cream are images that float around your head in the dark Silence blocks out hypocrites I'm more than just a piece of shit Never though it'd come to this and on and on Wilted flowers lightning showers Can't have love without a power Forget all about her oh and on and on I can't take this anymore I didn't want to be your whore You never even listen so Bang Bang Bang! And the moon looks especially bright from here And the moon looks especially bright from here You left me here to die But at least I can see the moon I’ll be there soon

Dirty 07:37
Alone and separated Marked forever more Scarred and violated Am I just a whore? Shunned and silenced, black and blue You weren’t there when I came to Twisted tangled, I’m no angel Suddenly I can’t see the moon Run away, run away Can’t run out of your mind Hide it away, hide it away Can’t hide it from yourself You took this day and made it gray And you’ll never, never, never, never, never pay I feel your weight crushing me When I close my eyes The blackened tears never leave I can’t wash my face I am stuck with all the pain And they say it’s me to blame Is it ever gonna go away Is it ever gonna be the same Look at the stars and you can’t see shit I see my reflection filled with regret This place no longer feels like a home Tear the flesh right off of the bone Scars form on that pretty face Every line is just a disgrace You can’t kill what’s already dead But you could die for me instead Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? Is it my fault, is it my fault Is it all my fault? I can’t tell you how I feel because you won’t believe me

We’re a happy healthy family hiding in our heads Skeletons in the closet and sodomy in the bed Clean out the melting pot, flush out the filth Your status is determined by hundred dollar bills You better look like us You better talk like us You better fuck like us Or you’re dead Sell your heaven stories to an empty head Fingers crossed, words torn out, pages never read Media soaked in controversy, nobody even cares Leave your glasses behind and raise a gun in the air Push out your babies and nail them to the wall Against our god your feelings mean nothing at all Push out your babies and nail them to the wall Against our god your feelings mean nothing at all You better look like us You better talk like us You better fuck like us Or you’re dead So pray to your government Or pay the price So pray to your government Or pay the price We’re all so fucking happy We’re all so fucking happy We’re all so happy to live in America We’re all so happy to live in America We’re all so fucking happy These are your amendment rights
