If you don't want to know Why'd you ask with phrases slow? You hear too much, still want it all Listen to the writing on the wall Greek alphabet can ruin days Off a tongue that swills and sways Into ears that must digest The mind is forced to clean up the mess
If you're the one who feels it, I'm the one who lets it go Lots of thoughts to think but nothing to really know
When you were young, you made no words Sounds and noise that still unnerved And now you've grown and you can speak For some, though, it's all tongue in cheek
Ever since I figured out that I could control other people I've had trouble sleeping with both eyes closed And if I ask permission, if I make sure it's okay I promise I won't slip up this time, you can trust me But never take advice from someone who just admitted to being Devious and just confessed to treason And I would also never ask a question that I cannot ask myself For it might dirty up your conscience
Cause I lie Not because I want to But I seem to need to all the time (need to all the time) Yeah I lie And I don't even know it Maybe this is all a part of my flawed design
Somewhere sunshine burns A dark but common horse When he fell by the wayside No one seemed to notice him
'Cause you're no good to us Lost all your youth & all of your usefulness & you know that No good to us Lost all that you could to a no No good to us Lost all your lost all your youthfulness & left with a precious little good Good to us lost all that you could to a no
Bring me the workhorse Bring me the no good workhorse
Show me how to lie You’re getting better all the time And turning all against the one Is an art that’s hard to teach Another clever word Sets off an unsuspecting herd And as you step back into line A mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance Man, he never had a chance And no one even knew It was really only you
And now you steal away Take him out today Nice work you did You’re gonna go far, kid
You made me hard, you made me strong I was simple but not for long
Nobody wants to be the weak one We all want to go from strength to strength If I could go back in time, well I wouldn't change a thing I wouldn't change a thing
I brought to you a kind disposition You led me on and you rejected me It took a while but I've accepted I learnt a slow and painful lesson
How long is this going to last You can't keep reliving your past Screwing over the ones that you lone In the name of some new drug So brother, raise another pint Rev up the engine and drive off in the night See you somewhere some place some time I know there's better brothers but you're the only one that's mine I know there's better brothers but you're the only one that's mine
The bondsman came to my door early the next day He said "I come lookin' for you brother You don't know what kind of trouble that he's in"
So he's standing in the doorway like he owns the place With a look of smug satisfaction on his face I'm gonna give you up Of that he's sure as hell But I take one look at him and I know I'll never tell
You think I’m stupid I know that you’re right, Or else why would I lie here In this big hollow night. Did god make it easy, so easy on you? Were you sent here to please me? Well, it won’t get you through, 'cause I’m going to
Stop messing around, 'cause what have I found On the dirty ground? You’re going to stop messing around, 'cause what have you found On the dirty ground? Are we going to stop, are we going to stop Are we going to stop?

sweet lilith of my dreams ➢ eternal tears of sorrow
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial We are entirely smooth We admit to the truth We are the best at what we do And these are the words you wish you wrote down This is the way you wish your voice sounds Handsome and smart Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body That works harder than my heart And it's all from watching TV And from speeding up my breathing Wouldn't stop if I could Oh, it hurts to be this good You're holding on to your grudge Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest With the one that you love Oh, so let it go
We're concentrating on falling apart. We were contenders, we're throwing the fight But I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe I just wanna believe in us
Now get up and give in I'll crack your knuckles again Supplicate and survive this transubstantiation And get so mean I want to know what it means!
(Did you laugh?) You know I did (Did you cry?) I couldn't get it right (Did you live?) Always on the edge (Did you lie?) Causing such a fright (Did you love?) Oh to be forgiven (Did you try?) But it wouldn't be right God it feels like an honest goodbye!
That sick brass boy day dreamin' Cry baby convict demon Hands so clean A sympathetic cold blooded killing machine How did you get so mean? I want to know what it means!
I'm hooked on you I need a fix I can't take it Just one more hit I promise I can deal with it I'll handle it, quit it Just one more time Then that's it Just a little bit more to get me through this I'm hooked on you I need a fix I can't take it Just one more hit I promise I can deal with it I'll handle it, quit it Just one more time Then that's it Just a little bit more to get me through this
Taste me, drink my soul Show me all the things that I shouldn't know And there's a new moon on the rise I had everything Opportunities for eternity And I could belong to the night
Your eyes, your eyes I can see in your eyes Your eyes, everything in your eyes, your eyes
You make me wanna die I'll never be good enough You make me wanna die And everything you love will burn up in the light Every time I look inside your eyes Make me wanna die
I'll die for you my love, my love I'll lie for you my love, my love I'll steal for you, my love, my love I'll die for you my love, my love Well burn up in the light
It was in the march of the winter I turned seventeen That I bought those pills I thought I would need & I wrote a letter to my family Said it's not your fault & you've been good to me Just lately I've been feeling like I don't belong Like the ground's not mine to walk upon & I've heard that music echo through the house Where my grandmother drank by herself & I sat watching a flower as it was withering I was embarrassed by its honesty So I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face Not this fucking wreck that's taken its place
So please forgive what I have done No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun 'Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually There is nothing left to do but sleep
But spring came bearing sunlight, those persuasive rays So I gave myself a few more days My salvation it came, quite suddenly When Justin spoke very plainly He said "Of course it's your decision, but just so you know, If you decide to leave, soon I will follow"
I wrote this for a baby who has yet to be born My brother's first child; I hope that womb's not too warm 'Cause it's cold out here & it'll be quite a shock To breathe this air, to discover loss So I'd like to make some changes before you arrive So when your new eyes meet mine, they won't see no lies Just love Just love
I will be pure No, no, I know I will be pure Like snow, like gold
You put yourself in stupid places Yes I think you know it's true Situations where it's easy to look down on you I think you like to be the victim I think you like to be in pain I think you make yourself a victim almost every single day
You do what you do You say what you say You try to be everything to everyone You know all the right people You play all the right games You always try to be everything to everyone Yeah you do it again You always do it again
You say they taught you to read and write Yeah they taught you how to count I say they tought you how to buy and sell your own body by the pound I think you like to be their simple toy I think you love to play the clown I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down
Spin around and fall down Do it again You stumble and fall Yeah why don't you ever learn Spin around and fall down Do it again Come on now Do that stupid dance for me
Farewell this blackened eye You've learned your lessons falling down Far behind and tracing footsteps home
Despite your lack of pride You wore your imperfections well Dignified Spend your time alone Trace your footsteps home
Your hands are always reaching out of favor Your kind are only good for bad behavior Your mouth was never one to trust You're always speaking out Falling far behind Falling out of line
Farewell This bitter tongue You spoke your lessons falling down, talking out And breaking silence
Despite the harm you've done You swallowed your rejection well Amplified Sing your song alone Trace your footsteps home
Don't wanna give 'em my name and address Don't wanna see what happens next Don't wanna live in my father's house no more Don't wanna live with my father's debt You can't forgive what you can't forget Don't wanna live in my father's house no more Don't wanna fight in a holy war Don't want the salesmen knocking at my door I don't wanna live in America no more
Cause the tide is high And it's rising still And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
MTV, what have you done to me? Save my soul, set me free! Set me free! What have you done to me? I can't breathe! I can't see! World War III, when are you coming for me? Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free The windows are locked now so what'll it be? A house on fire or a rising sea?
Why is the night so still? Why did I take the pill? Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
Can you save me from this world of mine Before I get myself arrested with this expectation You are the one look what you’ve done What have you done? This is not some kind of joke You’re just a kid You weren’t ready for what you did
And when the world is on its knees with me its fine And when I come to the rescue I do it for you time after time Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine ‘Cause you what I need so very but I'm anything but ordinary
I think I'm trying to save the world for you You’ve been saving me too We could just stay in and save each other
Just to get by try to stay high it's a good life end of discussion hours like sand Holes in my hand I'm a good soul, Martyr me Wasting my life it's passing me by it's a good fight throw in the towel The hours I've spent aren't enough to pay rent I'm just sinking water deep But if all I have is defeat
Tonight if you're awake at all Tonight if you're awake Tonight if you're awake at all Tonight if you're awake
Case of my crime a lack of my time it's a roadblock need a catharsis Patience is spent a virtue I sent to the basement far from me The less that I spend on the mess that I'm in could be used towards something of value The time on my side isn't anything I've ever needed, can't you see That all I have is defeat
Every unsuspecting scene when we're supposed to make believe that we're not tearing at the seams We hang on, we hang on, we hang on
The thing I think I love Will surely bring me pain Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame Three cheers for throwing up Pubescent drama queen You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
Let's scream, there's nothing left So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore The thought of you's no fucking fun You want a martyr I'll be one Because enough's enough, we're done
You told me think about it, well I did Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore I'm tired of begging for the things that I want I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday A single night without a ghost in the walls And if the bass shakes the earth underground We'll start a new revolution now
Hail Mary, forgive me Blood for blood, hearts beating Come at me, now this is war!
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein I was just a product of the street youth rage Born in this world without a voice or say Caught in the spokes of an abandoned brain I know you well but this ain't a game Blow the smoke in diamond shape Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
We'd rather die than live to rest on the ground Shit
Now there's gravel in our voices Glasses shattered from the fight In this tug of war you always win Even when I'm right 'Cause you feed me fables from your head With violent words and empty threats And it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that's all right because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry Well that's all right because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
So maybe I'm a masochist I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave 'Til the walls are going up In smoke with all our memories
Take these plastic people Read their lips, now let it linger Is there anything that makes them sound sincere? Tightly hold your hand Take a deep breath, give them the finger Are you worried That your thoughts are not quite clear? (Twitch) Overlooked, unfit appearance I remember falling I remember marching Like a one man army Through the blaze I know I'm coughing I believe in something I don't want to remember falling For their lies
Unbutton your clothes Undress your soul, show them your vigor Are those inhibitions easiest to fear? Take this gasoline tin Head up high, walk like a winner Let the bare feet be the last sound that they hear (Twitch) Overlooked, unfit appearance I remember falling I remember marching Like a one man army Through the blaze I know I'm coughing I believe in something I don't want to remember falling For your lies
Well, I met an old man Dying on a train No more destination No more pain Well, he said "One thing before I graduate Never let your fear decide your fate"
I say ya kill your heroes and Fly, fly, baby don't cry No need to worry cause Everybody will die Every day we just Go, go, baby don't go Don't you worry we Love you more than you know
Well, the sun one day will Leave us all behind Unexplainable sightings In the sky Well, I hate to be The one to ruin the night Right before your, right before your eyes
Are you ugly? A liar like me? A user, a lost soul? Someone you don’t know Money, it’s no cure A sickness so pure Are you like me? Are you ugly?
We are dirt, we are alone You know we're far from sober We are fake, we are afraid You know it’s far from over We are dirt we are alone You know we're far from sober Look closer, are you like me? Are you ugly?
Turn a blind eye Why do I deny? Medicate me So I die happy A strain of cancer Chokes the answers Are you like me? A liar like me?
So scared of breaking it That you won't let it bend And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper than they seem You'd rather cover up I'd rather let them bleed So let me be And I'll set you free
I am in misery There ain't nobody who can comfort me Why won't you answer me? The silence is slowly killing me
Girl, you really got me bad You really got me bad I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how It mixes in with mine The way it feels to be Completely intertwined Not that I didn't care It's that I didn't know It's not what I didn't feel It's what I didn't show So let me be And I'll set you free
The most tender place in my heart is for strangers I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous Hangin' round the ceiling half the time Hangin' round the ceiling half the time
Compared to some I've been around But I really tried so hard That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"
In the end I was the mean girl Or somebody's in-between girl Now it's the devil I love And that's as funny as real love
I leave the party at three a.m. Alone, thank God With a valium from the bride It's the devil I love And that's as funny as real love And that's as real as true love
