Freak Show:

 

Slave

 

Lived too long now you've come to take me

To a place where I can die

Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me

Can't be something but I'll try

 

Lived too long and waited to just drown

In my self pity I keep falling down

 

Want to be your solider

Want to be your slave

I have no pride in myself

 

Only book that I own is called 'how to lose'

Pick a chapter, I know them all, just choose

 

Lived too long and waited to find

A place where I can die

Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me

Give me something but I'll try

 

Want to be your solider

Want to be your slave

I have no pride in myself

That's how I behave

 

 

 

Freak

 

No more maybes

Your baby's got rabies

Sitting on a ball

In the middle of the Andes

 

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature

Yeah, I'm a freak

 

If only I could be as cool as you

As cool as you

 

Body and soul, I'm a freak

 

Try to be different

Well get a different disease

Seems it's in fashion

To need the coldsore cream

 

I don't really know

How to put on a 'cool' show

As boring as they come

Just tell me where to go

 

If only I could be as cool as you

 

Freak

 

 

 

Abuse Me

 

Need to ask a question

Calling out my name

Nothing seems to bother

Wish I had a clue

 

C'mon abuse me more I like it

 

Well I don't think you like me

Well I hate you as well

No one seems to like you

Wish I couldn't tell

 

C'mon abuse me more I like it

C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

 

Throw the sailors overboard

 

 

 

Lie To Me

 

Gonna be a liar?

Lie to me

Yeah

 

Gonna be a while?

Lie to me

Yeah

 

 

 

No Association

 

You've never wanted to know me before

Little or no association

Leave me alone, I want to live

Stop sucking the blood right out of me

 

Couldn't care less if I died right now

Who am I?

I don't know, you tell me

You seem to know everything else

 

Need a pathway need a guide

Contemplating suicide

Wish I could be like you

You say you care, but do you?

 

Do you?

 

Burn

 

 

 

Cemetery

 

Need a change

Not to imitate

But to irritate

All the ones who hate

 

I may be late

Always seem to get the wrong date

Well, I guess it's fate

 

I live in a cemetery

Full of good will and integrity

You see, I have no specialty

 

Here's your warning

I'll give you click click boom

 

I live in a cemetery

I need a change

Not to imitate

But to irritate

 

I live in a cemetery

 

 

 

The Door

 

Could've been like before

Could've had to lock the door

 

Make your mind

Let the door, let the door swing

Only one

Only one to let the door

 

Wanted to pretend he's dead

Didn't have to pretend

 

All this and more

Makes no sense to me

All this and more

Makes me drown

 

Let me know if it's alright

Let me know if you just might

 

 

 

Pop Song For Us Rejects

 

Addiction's held you back

But you don't care

'Cause you're on a high again

And it's not fair

Consuming alcohol

While I gotta drive

Take a hit from the drugs you stole

And try to survive

 

Since your life was over

You haven't yet been sober

You have held me back so long

Everything you do is wrong

 

Now I gotta dump you

Continue my life too

I tried to help you

Don't care what you do

 

You're state of mind's improved

But we're still apart

I visited you'd moved

Don't know where to start

Your life's an open cold sore

Got to get out the cream

Now I'm thinking positive

But I know it's a dream

 

You died yesterday

 

 

 

Learn To Hate

 

I wanted to be friends with her too

So my relationship could be the same as yours

I hated everyone just like you

Hating you should be introduced as a new law

 

Take the time to learn to hate

Come and join the mass debate

Take the time, take the time

It's all uphill you've gotta climb

 

You betrayed all the trust I gave you

Now I need therapy to hate a little more

You cannot help me to forgive you

The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores

 

As you pump drugs into your bloodstream

I sit observing in disgust

Hoping that you will finally come clean

So I don't have to use this gun

 

 

 

Petrol & Chlorine

 

Sinking through dark black holes

It's never gonna end

Open gash in my ribcage

It's never gonna mend

 

Take another picture off the wall

Sinking deeper every time I fall

 

Each day ends quicker

And my mind gets slower too

As my life just fades away

I wouldn't have a clue

 

Take another drawer out from the shelf

I'm too weak to do it by myself

 

Though you had the world at your feet

You could see it I was blind

Had the perfect job called life

You didn't like it you resigned

 

Brain's a square of grass

Growing on petrol and chlorine

 

On petrol and chlorine

You know just what I mean

 

 

 

Roses

 

Drained as drained can be

Life is gone from me

Drained if drained is free

If only I could breathe

 

Smelling dead roses

 

Take your mind with you

There's no room for two

I can't handle both

Handle both of you

 

Smelling dead roses

 

But I won't fall down

No I won't fall down

 

 

 

Nobody Came

 

Laying lost and wounded

Just myself to blame

Have no life and

Being hand-fed pain

 

Head's a crying wasteland

Filled with shame

Cried for help before and

Nobody came

 

His father beats him

No hesitation

His face left dripping

In humiliation

 

As he lies wounded

His father turns to clay

A frozen statue

Can't walk away

 

His head's a crying wasteland

Filled with shame

Cried for help before and

Nobody came

 

To see what I can lose again

For being the victim

 

No

 

 

 

The Closing

 

Welcome to the closing

Not for love what for?

It's easy to be taken

But to say

Come again

Leave again

Waste of time

Come again

 

I'm all alone while you're having fun

You have faith while I feel none

Sleep till late to waste half the day

But I'm happy to live this way

 

And you know that you can't see my pain

But you know that I can see your pain

 

Me and shame are the same

Me and shame take the blame

 

Me and pain are the same

Me and shame take the blame

 

Welcome to the closing
