Seed, gotta let it grow, why you gotta watch when I let it feed?
Better look into the mirror for the face you hide away, everyday
But I don't give a fuck; I let it roll ... I spent the old
Gotta run, gotta rend, gotta maim, gotta make it through another maze
STAY AWAY!

Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Muthafucker, GET INSIDE!

Get inside, get inside muthafucker [x4]

Christ, have you seen this guy? Make you sick,
gonna peel away all the impurities
Cuz all you wanna do is keep curin' me,
but I don't give a fuck If you'll help me once,
You'll be mopping up blood and guts and all the shit when I'm done
Isn't this fun? Give me a gun and I'll tell you all the secrets I hide
BEFORE I RUN!

Please: wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Muthafucker, GET INSIDE!

Get inside, get inside muthafucker [x4]

Maybe if you look away, I can slip away, gotta get away
RUN MUTHAFUCKER, RUN!
Right now I stare at shit, I'm a heretic, but I'll never give you none of it
Tied up in the back of the lab, laid on the slab, got the gift of gab,
what you want from me?
I don't even know I got a damn disease, but I KNOW YOU WANNA KILL ME!

Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Muthafucker, GET INSIDE!

Get inside, get inside muthafucker [x4]

You hold me inside your iris like a terminal stain on life
you condescend to my primal brain and twist me around like a knife

Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn�

You keep me hidden behind a curtain,
an audible human display
You feed me orchids to give me courage
and keep me in line with disdain

Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn�

I have nothing left for you
you left me with nothing
I have nothing left for you
you left me witn NOTHING!!

I live at arm's length and die a little,
between your constants by day
I want my soul back before it's over,
I can't even wish you away

Can't begin to explain
The feelings I have restrained
Don't ask me how I am
Because you're too busy planning your epitaph
Let me tell you

DON'T - try to be the ONE - person
Who has STAYED - just to say
They never left me!
Aggravated, complicated, someone say it
God, I never learn�

I NEVER LEARN!!

I can only hurt your case
It's written on your face
You always come to me
I won't be used, but
I can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up the door, oh

NO
I WON'T
I CAN'T
NOT ANYMORE
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK YOU'LL FUCKIN' DIE
WHY?
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?

Stay Away from who I am
Cuz I know what you are
I can't believe you're here
Then again, you know that

I can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul, oh

NO
I WON'T
I CAN'T
NOT ANYMORE
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK YOU'LL FUCKIN' DIE
WHY?
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?

Stop I know your goddamn game
It's always been the same
The story hasn't changed
Neither will you, but

I can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul

NO
I WON'T
I CAN'T
NOT ANYMORE
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK YOU'LL FUCKIN' DIE
WHY?
DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES? [x2]

LETS GO!

I only wanted, only wanted just to touch you
I couldn't bear it, couldn't bear it if you leave
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter if I scare you
I only wanted, only wanted someone else's skin
To feel you there
Touch my face
Keep me whole
Help me see........ my life
Give me your life

I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the first one
I haven't ever, haven't ever been discreet
It isn't over, isn't over by a long shot
I didn't wanna, didn't wanna be the only one
To feel you there
Touch your face
Keep you whole
Help you see...... my life
Give me your life

INCREDIBLE... AND CHEMICAL

Before I show you where the secret is
I want to turn you into this
I want to give you all my nothingness
I want to cover you with this

See my life... give me your life
Let me see... my life
Give me your life
INCREDIBLE... AND CHEMICAL.

HEAR ME!!

Remember all the times you bent our truth and crossed our lines?
All things considered, it was just our normal way of life
But somewhere in the middle, we got caught and dragged away
So my tribunal brings us here so I can fall today

All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fuckin' nonsense

I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!

I stand before you as a victim, as the system rots
I couldn't focus, so I staggered when I heard the shots
There are no labels and no rehabilitation here
You are surrounded by the very fuckin' thoughts you fear

All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fuckin' nonsense

I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY - MYSELF!

I watch the hope I had disintegrate before my eyes
I take a minute and reflect on all your fuckin' lies
Behind the door, you have two choices, but you don't get to choose
You can survive or you can die - either way you lose

All - you want is soulless
All - you got to break us
All - I have to do is
Stop - your fuckin' nonsense

I CAN'T BETRAY!
I CAN'T BETRAY....MYSELF!

Choose!

Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real *TO ME!
I'VE CONSECRATED!
I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT
I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN... BEFORE MY EYES!*
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this?
I couldn't have oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside OF ME?
*I'VE DESECRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!*

And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

*[Solo: Josh]*

And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, can you stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

*WITHIN!*

Come one and all and see the broken man
Talking to himself
He sits and waits for something better
He'll never find it here
The people touch his hair and pinch his cheek
He can't even feel it

There it goes again
He's listening to someone
He hears the bitter laughter
And all he wants to know is...

Why does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better

He wipes his hands on anything in reach
He never feels clean
He shakes at night because his nerve is gone
Every muscle hurts
Come one and all and see what happened
That broken man is me

There it goes again
I can hear it louder
It doesn't feel good anymore
All I want to know is...

Why does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better

Now I know I disappear
I can't find my way from out of here
Everything is fading on me
Someone tell me, someone tell me...
Someone tell me

Why does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better

Why?
Why?
You gotta try!
Try!

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason; my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with it's memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
Once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit.

Never even knew
what you meant to convey
You handed us a retrospect
'til you didn't have a thing to say
No one questions you
Even someone set out to do
Now it's nothing...
but dead and gone

LET'S GO (x4)

Better than the world's ever seen
You wanted all the recognition
until you lost the means
No one talks to you
Even someone set out to do
Take a number... your time has come

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE! (x2)

My excuses lay me down
My emotions make me drown
My endeavor takes blame
At least I have a name

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE! (x2)

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!

GODDAMN YOU!!

Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you
Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you
Must have been a bitch, must have been a pain
Take me off the "innocent"
Put me in your vein!

IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE

Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on
Haven't said a word 'cause you're still on
Mustn't take offense, mustn't take a bow
Used to be a derelict
Now I have to live with it!

IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
YOU CAME BACK, BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY

Trip my light fantastic
Rub me in your wound
I'm not broken, I'm not plastic
I'm no whore...
Used against me - use me up again

IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
IT'S IMPROBABLE
YOU CAME BACK BUT I KNOW BETTER, BOY

Sometimes I think I'm crazy; other times I know I'm not

Got no time to time to time once again

You want me, you need me!

What a skeletal wreck of man this is.

Translucent flesh and feeble bones
The kind of temple where the whores and villians
try to tempt the holistic tomes

Running rampant with free thought to free form
in the free and clear
And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a laundromat
to sift and focus on the bigger, better, now

We all have a little sin than needs venting
virtues for the rending
and laws and systems
and stems a rift from branches of office
do you know what your post entails?

Do you serve a purpose
or purposely serve?

Wind down inside of your atavistic allure
the value of a Summer spent
and a Winter earned

For the rest of us there is always Sunday.
the day of the week that reeks of rest
but all we do is catch our breath
so we can wade naked into the bloody pool
and place our hand on the big black book.

To watch the knives zig-zag between our aching fingers.

A vacation is a count-down
T minus your life and counting
time to drag your tongue across the sugar-cube
and hope you get a taste

what the FUCK is all this for?! (What the hell's goin' on?!)
SHUT UP!!

I could go on and on, but, lets move on shall we?

Say, you're me and I'm you
and they all watch the things we do
and like a smack of spite
they threw me down the stairs -
haven't felt like this in years -
the great magnet of malicious magnanamous refuse
let me go and
plunge me into the dead spot again.

That's where you go when there's no-one else around
its just you
and there was never anyone to begin with now was there?

Sanctomonious pretentious dasterdly bastards
with their thumb on the pulse
and a finger on the trigger

CLASSIFIED MY ASS! thats a FUCKING secret and you know it!

Government is another way to say
Better
Than
You.

Its like ice but no pick
a murder charge that won't stick
it's like a whole other world
where you can smell the food
but you can't touch the silverware

hah, what luck
fascism you can vote for
(*scoff*) isn't that sweet

and we're all gonna die some day
'cuz thats the American way
and I've drunk too much
and said too little
when your gaffer taped in the middle
say a prayer, save face
get yourself together and (see whats happening)
SHUT UP! (FUCK YOU!)
FUCK YOU!

I'm sorry I could go on and on but
it's time to move on so...

Remember you're a wreck, an accident
forget the freak, you're just nature

Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean
shit, snort and blaspheme
Let the heads cool and the engine run

Because in the end,
everything we do
is just everything we've done.
