What's the point in feeling better?
I'm just gonna hurt again
So you say it makes me stronger
I don't think I need your kind of strength
Creatine
Build me up just to break me down
So you say it makes me human?
I don't think I am your kind of man
So you say it makes me special?
I don't think I lead your kind of life
Creatine
Build me up just to break me down

Can this be undone?
Can I be unborn?
Right down on your knees
Begging twice no more
10-53-r
Caged bird, sing again
We love you for the sound
I think they clipped my wings
I'm not that stupid

I'm nothing
Empty eyes stare
null and void, I guess I'm used to it
Hundreds lined up
Nameless headstones
Stupid, faceless, complacent termites
Plutocratic
Worthless leaders
Digging mass graves that we live in
When my dreams keep me up at night
tell me everything you want to hear
you're only lying to yourself
enjoy your happy life
I'm nothing
Empty eyes stare
null and void, I guess I'm used to it

Coffee

I drink my coffee black
I like the taste of the acids
I hope it stains my teeth
I hope it burns my throat
I pray it stunts my growth
No one can destroy this
Left here to destroy myself
How could I get this far
just to let myself go
Everybody loves a fool
Everybody loves me
Take away the feeling
Until I'm numb

Rain

|

|
Hate to pray, Hate the pain
I'm only happy when it rains
Save me god, as I crawl
I am your tragic mistake
You don't even exist
Why do I need this
God is dead, hell is full
Feels like there's nowhere I belong
Purgatory

Acid
01:15
|
|||
|
I'm so acidic
and you're so alkaline
We can burn together
melt away this time
Acid
You can charge me up
You can drain yourself
It's all gonna burn
Acid
You can watch me break
foaming at the crease
before you throw me out
destroy your circuitry

Get Out

|
Get out
I don't want to taste you
Guilty in your presence
Outlet
Pet for all your pleasures
Beast for your amusement
Intensive care unit
Suffering obsession
Motivation
Unplug my human metrics
Unconscious, drooling fever
Hungry
Craving isolation
Starving to feel something real
Undo
If I could reverse all my damage
And kill away my sickness
Motivation
Unplug my human metrics
Unconscious, drooling fever

Your pain is neither heavily acknowledged nor heavily sympathized for. Internalize until you feel it deep in your core. You bury yourself neck deep in self inflicted wounds.

Tell me that I could be anything
Be anything that you want me to be
Tear out your eyes and teach you to see
give you their own philosophy
Most likely to succeed
Sorry if I let you down
Tell me that I could have any life
live anywhere that you see fit
Never want or have to need
and a nice little home where I can call the police

Frustrated

|
You want to be happy
But you're in love with your sadness
Fuels you, mocks you, drains you, inspires you
You'll never be happy
Frustrated
Outbursts on the drive home from your dead-end fucking office job.
You just want to lay down, let oceans consume you.
Frustrated
You'll never be happy

Avon calling
I'll be young forever
Just like the TV screen
Knocking on my door
Paint me
Just like the TV stars
Small little foot soldiers
You know what you are
