head like a hole
god money i'll do anything for you. god money just tell me what you want me to. god money nail me up against the wall. god money don't want everything he wants it all. no you can't take it. no no you can't take it (no you can't take that away from me)

head like a hole. black as your soul. i'd rather die than give you control. head like a hole. black as your soul. i'd rather die than give you control

bow down before the one you serve. you're going to get what you deserve

god money's not looking for the cure. god money's not concerned about the sick among the pure. god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised. god money's not one to choose. no you can't take it. no no you can't take it. no you can't take that away from me

head like a hole. black as your soul. i'd rather die than give you control. head like a hole. black as your soul. i'd rather die than give you control

bow down before the one you serve. you're going to get what you deserve. you know who you are


Sin
you gave me the reason. you gave me control. i gave you my Purity. my Purity you stole. did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise. am i just too stupid to realize. stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies

it comes down to this. your kiss. your fist. and your strain. it get's under my skin. within. take in. the extent of my sin

you gave me the anger. you gave me the nerve. carry out your sentence. i get what i deserve. i'm just an effigy to be defaced. to be disgraced. your need for me has been replaced. and if i can't have everything well then just give me a taste

it comes down to this. your kiss. your fist. and your strain. it get's under my skin. within. take in. the extent of my sin

hurt

i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way

i'm looking forward to joining you, finaly

as black as the night can get
everything is safer now
there's always a way to forget
once you learn to find a way how

in the blur of serenity
where did everything get lost?
the flowers of naivete
buried in a layer of frost

the smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes

thought he had it all before they called his bluff
found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough
wanted to go back to how it was before
thought he lost everything
then he lost a whole lot more

a fool's devotion
swallowed up in empty space
the tears of regret
frozen to the side of his face

the smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes

i've done all i can do
could i please come with you?
sweet smell of sunshine
i remember sometimesthe fragile
she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters
when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
i can't watch her slip away

i won't let you fall apart

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if i could fix myself i'd -
but it's too late for me

i won't let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

it's something i have to do
i was there, too
before everything else
i was like you
to a hypnotic river of sound or back home...
