grace
finds a place
on an unforgiving face
the black sheep
attacked by the
simple feeling that
a name
re arranged
makes it feel a certain way
the meat
wants to see
sinful electricity
even through the pain
animals cannot change
dance with the skeletons
and float away
echoes thru the trees
hear their voices singing
come home with us my friend
and we'll be at peace
pray
for a change
a cocoon about to break
but now
you feel strange
and the wings started to take shape
eat
and then die
all your siblings cast aside too
see
with new eyes
a world ready to despise you
hear
though unclear
how the whispers start to cut through
now
but somehow
you can feel that it's about you
wow
what a freak
a pariah so to speak
oh how
could they seek
to kill something so unique
even through the pain
animals cannot change
dance with the skeletons
and float away
echoes thru the trees
hear their voices singing
come home with us my friend
and we'll be at peace

We All Fall Down
03:52

can you feel it yet?
oh can you feel it yet?
oh can you feel it,
the pain of poppin' apathy?
(x4)
even when I scream aloud
everyone dances to the sound
ashes to ashes they all fall down
*incoherent screaming*
we're all just
drinking out of cups
waiting for the day when
we can't get enough
baby please, adore me, adore me
I am living for your disease
are you moving yet?
oh are you moving yet?
oh are you moving,
the world is gonna fall apart!
(x3)
even when I'm bleeding out
everyone gathers 'round the spout
just tip me over and pour me out
we're all just
drinking out of cups
waiting for the day when
we can't get enough
baby please, adore me, adore me
I am living for your disease
...drinking out of cups
waiting for the day when
we can't get enough
baby please, adore me, adore me
I am living for your disease
(you've only been at this for two years. why do you think you can do this alone? because nobody helps you? how narcissistic. either way, you'll have to. all your friends will leave you, but you will get what you want. and it won't make you feel anything. and that's ok.
along the way you hope to find something that makes you happy, I guess. you haven't thought that far ahead. I don't even think you can.
would you talk to a friend that way? you make me so angry. you are so strong and awesome. you can do anything. you can succeed in anything, because that's who you are.)

did you do that to yourself?
there's things we don't talk about
(stop it, I don't like it!)
everything, too loud
everything, too loud
(stop it, I don't like it!)
drips down your neck
she is in the floor
everything, too loud
everything, too loud
(the little girl will not look at any of this stuff. she was looking backwards, at the little ones who were still inside of her, at the little one who is trying to stand up, the little one that's still crawling. At the little boys and the little girls who are still in there, at the ten year olds and the teenagers. And she was looking back at mommy, who still holds power to her and still holds the ring, and outside of them is anger. I'm angry. I'm angry that it's taking so many goddamn people to put me together again.)

Folie à Deux

you hurt me
you hurt me
but it's all ok
because I love you anyway
how many
how many
times will it replay?
a smash hit in my brain!
knives too dull to cut
are praying
god's been away but they're gonna try
I have no clue what
you're saying
I'm gonna lose my mind!
dance the night away
my feet float over the ground and cheerfully sway
I feel that the end is drawing near
so let me say my darling
if you ever find my body, throw it in the lake
so hungry
so hungry
tonight we will feast
because your heart belongs to me
so sorry
so sorry
you can't run away
you see, there's no escape!
knives too dull to cut
are praying
god's been away but they're gonna try
I have no clue what

my feet float over the ground and cheerfully sway
I feel that the end is drawing near
so let me say my darling
if you ever find my body, throw it in the lake.
(throw it in the lake!!!!!!!!)

Requiem

glass figurine
how you move about the scene
how you twist, how you bend
to a song with no beginning or end
pulled by the strings
color absent from the scene
but I hear a small cry
"just let me die"
in a dream state
they're rearranging your face
lingering, warm and sweet
fingers feeling where your eyes used to be
once, we were friends
now we'll never meet again
so adieu, so adieu
I still love you
comely puppet, oh comely puppet
I'm searching for, that smile of yours
but your head is filled up with cotton
all your pleasant features have been forgotten
comely puppet, oh comely puppet
I'm waiting for, the big encore
while the ash builds up in the ash tray
you can run away, it all stays in place
hey, mom and dad, I can see I made you mad
run away, run away
I can feel the cracks spread across my face
I'm right on time, a doll enters at stage right
lines I've learned, songs I've heard
so familiar
comely puppet, oh comely puppet
I'm searching for, that smile of yours
but your head is filled up with cotton
all your pleasant features have been forgotten
comely puppet, oh comely puppet
I'm waiting for, the big encore
while the ash builds up in the ash tray
you can run away, it all stays in place
(on that day, I became an adult.)

Devils
02:24

nobody wants to hear your crying
and in the morning they will get up and leave
you're just a freak and you are dying
waiting for something that you wanted to see
nobody wants to hear your crying
they wanna tear off all your limbs, bit by bit
there will be no use in denying
there is no rhyme or reasoning behind it
I've got devils inside me
right in there between my teeth
stabbing needles in my brain
scratching skin and leaving bloodstains
sometimes I can't even breathe
I just hear my head ringing
lose hold of reality
there is no way you can save me
I've got devils inside me
right in there between my teeth
stabbing needles in my brain
scratching skin and leaving bloodstains
sometimes I can't even breathe
I just hear my head ringing
lose hold of reality
there is no way you can save me

Our Story
05:10
|

|
I see right through you
the entrails that move you
be not afraid
his stomach is turning the page
a voice cries out in despair
is this death or a nightmare?
in the end, who even cares?
what big ears you have
oh, it's all the better to hear you with
what big teeth you have
oh, it's all the better to eat you with!
was it you, hiding underneath the bed?
was it you, unraveling my thread?
a voice cries out in despair
is this death or a nightmare?
in the end, who even cares?
(you waste away!!!!!)
a voice cries out in despair
is this death or a nightmare?
in the end, who even cares?
I've always known, I'd die alone
they'd cut up my stomach and fill it with stones
now, we come apart at the seams
(we'll forget) we'll forget who we used to be
let's make our own story
oh, this world is so confusing
(and spinning and spinning) while it senselessly keeps turning
we'll make our meaning!

Ode
04:01

don't know how I'm gonna live this kinda way
a little give
a little take
when I think of all the little tiny things
"you know those cigarettes are gonna murder you someday"
well they can wait their turn,
I got a feeling that's the least of my concerns
the more I describe it the more vague it gets
we try to forgive
we try to forget
dreams are real to the one who's dreaming them
"you know those cigarettes are gonna murder you someday"
you know I hope they do,
it might not be as bad as what I'm goin through
oh, and it's not that you should care, I just wanted you to know
I didn't think I'd go this easily
oh, and it's not that you should care, I just wanted you to know
I didn't think I'd go this easily
now and then I try to mournfully dissolve
problems arise
problems are solved
I'd appreciate it if you didn't get involved
"you know you've been a little better lately"
if you only knew
I'd apologize for walking out on you
oh, and it's not that you should care, I just wanted you to know
I didn't think I'd go this easily
oh, and it's not that you should care, I just wanted you to know
I didn't think I'd go this easily

everything, too loud
|

10. |

|
In my little space
Nothing changes
I don't like this place
I wanna escape this
I made all those promises
To distract myself from the meaninglessness
Does anyone else see
How scary it is to exist?
One day you will die
And everything you write
Will be as pointless in death as it was when you
Were still alive
The screams of a tiny girl
Are of no concern to the whole wide world
No matter how loud
If I disappear
Who's to say
That I was here?
Though nothing will ever satisfy
I wanna feel alive (I wanna feel alive)

spill your guts, sing your heart out
throw it all away
forgive don't forget, ok?
and I know that someday soon you'll look back
on all this and you'll laugh
forgive, don't forget!
while you forgive, don't forget!
ok?
move along, move along, move along now
even though your heart screams with regret
when the night ends, when the night ends
find a way to carry on!
world keeps turning, undiscerning
and it's dragging all of us along by the neck
world keeps turning, we are burning
all our bandages
move along, move along, move along now
even though your heart screams with regret
pick yourself up, when the night ends
find a way to carry on!
move along, move along, move along now
even though your heart screams with regret
spill your guts, sing your heart out
throw it all away
forgive don't forget, ok?
and I know that someday soon you'll look back
on all this and you'll laugh
forgive, don't forget!
while you forgive, don't forget!
so I hope we meet again
so I hope we meet again
someday!
