Pretty Hate Machine

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.

Bridge: no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
no you can't take it
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.

Chorus: bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.
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 with the sick amongst the pure.
god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
god money's not one to choose

Bridge

Chorus

you know who you are.

terrible lie

hey God, why are you doing this to me?
am i not living up to what i'm supposed to be?
why am i seething with this animosity?
hey God, i think you owe me a great big apology

Bridge: terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie

hey God, i really don't know what you mean.
seems like salvation comes only in our dreams.
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
hey God, can this world really be as sad as it seems

Bridge

Chorus: don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to.
don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to

hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide.
i lost my ignorance, security and pride.
i'm all alone in a world you must despise.
hey God, i believed that promises, your promises and lies

Bridge

you made me throw it all away.
my morals left to decay.
how many you betray.
you've taken everything

Bridge

my head is filled with disease.
my skin is begging you please.
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe.

Chorus

i give you everything.
my sweet everything
hey God, i really don't know who i am.
in this world of piss

down in it


kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
sometimes i don't believe them myself
and i decided i was never coming down.
just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
it was just about too small to see.
but i watched it way too long

and that dot was pulling me down.

Chorus: i was up about it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

well shut up so what what does it matter now.

i was swimming in the haze now i crawl on the ground.
and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
("I guess the jokes on me." she said)

Chorus

i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody

i used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide.
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody

i'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye.
and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why.
and what i used to think was me is just a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

sanctified

it's still getting worse after everything i tried.
what if i found a way to wash it all aside.
what if she touches with those fingertips.
as the words spill out like fire from her lips.

Chorus: if she says come inside i'll come inside for her.
if she says five it all i'll give everything to her.
i am justified.
i am purified.
i am sanctified.
inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel.
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.
i still dream of lips i never should have never kissed.
well she knows exactly what i can't resist

Chorus

i'm just caught up in another of her spells.
she's turning me into someone else.
everyday i hope and pray this will end.
but when i can i do it all again

Chorus

as surely as the blades course is run.
maybe my kingdom's finally come

something i can never have

i still recall the taste of my tears.
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore.

Chorus: come on tell me.
make this all go away.
you make this all go away.
i'm down to just to thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
make this all go away.
you make this all go way.

i just want something.
i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now.
this is slowly take me apart.
grey would be the color if i had a heart.
i just want something i can never have.
in this place it seems like such a same.
though it all looks different now,
i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see.
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be.

Chorus

i just want something.
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have
think i know what you meant.
that night on my bed.
still picking at this scab
i wish you were dead.
you sweet and perry ellis.
just stains on my sheets.

kinda i want to

i can't shake this feeling from my head.
there's a devil sleeping in my bed.
he's watching you from across the way.
i cannot make this feeling go away

Chorus: i know it's not the right thing.
and I know it's not the good think.
but kinda i want to

i'm not sure of what i should do.
when everything i'm think of is you.
all of my excuses turn to lies.
maybe God will cover up his eyes

Chorus

maybe just for tonight.
we can pretend it's alright.
what's the price i pay.
i don't care what they say.
i want to.
i want to (i'll take my chance tonight)

sin

you give me the reason.
you give 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

Chorus: 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 give me the anger.
you give me the nerve.
carry out the 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.

Chorus

that's what i get

just when everything was making sense.
you took away all my self-confidence.
now all that i've been hearing must be true.
i guess i'm not the only boy for you.

Chorus: but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

how could you turn us into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you.
I told you i'd never say goodbye.
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry.

Chorus

why does it come as a surprise.
to think that i was so naive.
maybe didn't mean so much.
but it meant everything to me.

Chorus

the only time

i'm drunk.
and right now i'm so in love with you.
and i don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do.
lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars.
while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car.

Chorus: nothing quite like the feel of something new.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up in you.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up in you.
maybe i'm all messed up.
this is the only time i really feel alive.
this is the only time i really feel alive.

i swear.
i just found everything i need.
the sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me.
well i want to drink it up and swim in it until i drown.
my moral standing is lying down.

Chorus to end

ringfinger

well you've got me working so heard lately.
working my hands until they bleed.
if i was twice the man i could be.
i'd still be half of what you need still you lead me and i follow
anything you ask you know i'll do.
but this one act of consecration is what i ask of you

Chorus: ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me.

you just left me nailed here.
hanging like Jesus on the cross.
i'll be dying for your sins.
and aiding to the cause.

Chorus

wrap my eyes in bandages.
confessions i see through.
i get everything i want.
when i get part of you.

Chorus

ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
devil's flesh and bone
do something for me.


Nine Inch Nails -- Broken

wish

this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i'm the one without a soul i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't think you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i want to but i can't turn back
but i want to

last

gave up trying to figure out my head got lost along the way
worn out from giving it up my soul i pissed it all away

i'm going all the way down i'm leaving today
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
still feel it all slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
everybody's still chipping away but it doesn't matter anymore

my lips may promise but my heart is a whore
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i know it's all getting away it comes to me as no surprise
i know what's coming to me is never going to arrive
fresh blood through tired skin
new sweat to drown me in
dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you're gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i wish i could put the blame on you
i want you to make me
i want you to take me
i want you to break me
then i want you to throw me away

happiness in slavery

slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants
slave screams thinks he has something to say
slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen
slave screams he's being beat into submission
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the devils of truth steal the souls of the free
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness is slavery
slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
slave screams he claims he has his own identity
slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the blind have been blessed with security
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness is slavery
i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been
human junk just words and so much skin
stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine
just some flesh caught in this big broken machine

gave up

perfect little dream the kind that hurts the most
forgot how it feels well almost
no one to blame always the same
open my eyes wake up in flames
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light
smashed up my sanity
smashed up my integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do
covered in hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything iÕve done i hate myself for what iÕve become
i tried
i gave up
throw it away

Physical

I wanna take you maybe
I wanna take you out
I wanna wine and dine you
I wanna twist and twist and shout
I want you in my arms
Sit soft on my bed
You got the key to my heart
When you wear that sweet dress

But you're too physical physical to me
You're just too physical oh
You're too physical for me

I want your _?_ baby
I want this right in your ear
You let me feel your danger
I let you make this feeling clear, here
I want the touch of your charms
The heat of your breath
I wanna say all those things
That would be better unsaid
No

But you're too physical physical to me
You're just too physical oh
You're too physical for me
You're too physical to me
You're really jus- just too- just
Too really fuck no

You're just too physical [x2]
Too fucking physical
No [x7]
Oh you're too physical
Just too physical
Just too

Suck

There is no god up in the sky tonight
No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
All that was true is left behind
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want your dreams you try to sell
This disease I give to myself

How does it feel? [x2]

She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Itches my skin right off of my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ of Ecstacy

How does it feel? [x2]


I am so dirty on on the inside [x4]

How does it feel? [x2]

Suck [x4]


A thousand lips a thousand tongues
A thousand throats a thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
I want to do terrible things to you

piggy

hey pig

all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones you left me here i'm all alone
my little piggy needed something new
nothing can stop me now
i don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
i just don't care
hey pig
nothing's turning out the way i planned
hey pig there's a lot of things i hoped you could help me understand
what am i supposed to do i lost my shit because of you
nothing can stop me now
i don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
i just don't care
nothing can stop me now
you don't need me anymore

heresy

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell i will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell i will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

march of the pigs

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
i want a little bit i want a piece of it i think he's losing it
i want to watch it come down
don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the smell of it
i want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
i give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts
i want to break it up i want to smash it up i want to fuck it up
i want to watch it come down
maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it
i want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right

closer

you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
help me i broke apart my insides, help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex i can smell
help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
i drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason i stay alive

ruiner

you had all of them on your side, didn't you?
you believe in all your lies, didn't you?
the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
the ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did you get so hard?
how did you get so long?
you had to give them all a sign, didn't you? you had to covet what was mine, didn't you?
the ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me you took to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that fucked me up so much more than you'll ever know
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did you get so hard?
how did you get so long?
what you gave to me
my perfect ring of scars
you know i can see what you really are
you didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now

the becoming

i beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
i'm stuck in this dream it's changing me i am becoming
the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore
all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
drowns out all i hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
that me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away
i can try to get away but i've strapped myself in
i can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
i can see it killing away all my bad parts
i don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me i feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter i might just slip away

it won't give up it wants me dead
goddamn this noise inside my head

i do not want this

i'm losing ground
you know how this world can beat you down
i'm made of clay
i fear i'm the only one who thinks this way
i'm always falling down the same hill
bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
you don't know just how i feel
i stay inside my bed
i have lived so many lives all in my head
don't tell me that you care
there really isn't anything, is there?
you would know, wouldn't you?
you extend your hand to those who suffer
to those who know what it really feels like
to those who've had a taste
like that means something
and oh so sick i am
and maybe i don't have a choice
and maybe that is all i have
and maybe this is a cry for help
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
you don't know just how i feel

i want to know everything
i want to be everywhere
i want to fuck everyone in the world
i want to do something that matters

big man with a gun

i am a big man
(yes i am)
and i have a big gun
got me a big old dick and i
i like to have fun
held against your forehead
i'll make you suck it
maybe i'll put a hole in your head
you know, just for the fuck of it
i can reduce you if i want
i can devour
i'm hard as fucking steel, and i've got the power
i'm every inch a man, and i'll show you somehow
me and my fucking gun nothing can stop me now
shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
i'm going to come all over you
me and my fucking gun
me and my fucking gun

eraser

need you
dream you
find you
taste you
fuck you
use you
scar you
break you
lose me
hate me
smash me
erase me

reptile

she spread herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
i now know the depths i reach are limitless
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure

the downward spiral

he couldn't believe how easy it was
he put the gun into his face
bang!
(so much blood from such a tiny little hole)

problems have solutions
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash

everything's blue
in this world
the deepest shade of mushroom blue
all fuzzy
spilling out of my head

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

Dead Souls

Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality

They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me

When figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadores who took their share

They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me

Calling me, Calling me [x2]

They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me

Get Down, Make Love

by Freddie Mercury (Queen/News of the World, 1977)
covered by NIN/Sin single (Halo 4, track 3)

-How old were you when you first let a man make love to you? Next,
who was he? Next, how did you feel at the time? Next, how did you
feel afterward? What did you feel, what did you think, were you
pleased, frightened, ecstatic, disgusted? What did he say, what
words did you speak, that's what I want to know, now, tell me, now,
now, all of it, now, yes! yes!

Get down, make love X3

You take my body-
I give you heat
You say you hungry-
I give you meat
I suck your mind-
You blow my head
Make love - inside your bed
Everybody-

Get down make love X4

Every time I get hot, you wanna cool down-
Every time I get high, you wanna go down-
You say it's enough, in fact it's too much-
Every time I wanna get down, get down, make love-

I can squeeze, you can shake me
I can feel, when you break me
Come on so heavy-then you take me-
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love-
You can make - everybody

Get down, make love X2

Every time I get high, you wanna go down-
Every time I get hot you say you wanna cool down-
You say it's enough, in fact it's too much-
Every time I wanna get down, get down, get down make love-

Get down, make love X4 (over assorted moans)

Every time I get high, you wanna go down-
Every time I get hot you say you wanna cool down-
You say it's enough, in fact it's too much-
Every time I wanna get down, get down, get down make love-

maybe just once

i can't believe
that what i feel
is finally happening to me
make it hurt
and point a finger
at my insecurites
well i guess i just don't understand
about those complexities in your mind
and i guess i just don't understand
why this world seems so unkind

maybe
maybe just one
i get just what's coming
maybe
maybe just once
i get what's coming to me

so once again
the way you feel
you'll never ever stay the same
and i'm to blame
i wonder just who made
the rules up for this game
well i guess i just don't understand
about what you want and what you need
and i guess i just don't understand
about why this is how it has to be

maybe
maybe just one
i get just what's coming
maybe
maybe just once
i get what's coming to me

so go around
you say those thousand things
you think you have to say
look at me
and tell me love's not such
a hard word word anyway
well how can you can count on me
i thought you realized for sure
and how can you just believe
i thought i deserved a little more

maybe
maybe just once
i get what's coming
maybe
maybe just once
i get what's coming to me

oh god
what's coming
oh god
what's coming to me

memorabilia

(what do your nipples look like)

wherever i go
i take a little piece of you
i collect
i reject
photographs i took of you

well times i passed through
so many faces
so many places
i have got to have a memory
i have never been there
i have never had you

i can't remember
give me your reminder
i collect
i reject

memorabilia
(now girl..only it's flavor..bow down here)

keychains and snowstorms
the taste of your sweat
the look in your eye
i have been inside you
i know what it feels like
(wet as it is..the whiter the honey)
i collect
i reject

memorabilia
(goodies come in here all day)

give me your reminder
i can't remember
i collect
i reject

memorabilia

now i'm nothing

i smashed myself to pieces
i am gonna fuck myself up
i'm sifting through the ashes
oh what i have become
i gave myself away now i'm nothing
i let it slip away now i'm nothing
all that i can do is break myself in two
i fucked it all away now i'm nothing
wave wave wave wave goodbye
wave wave wave wave goodbye

perfect drug

the perfect drug

i got my head but my head is unravelling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's travelling
i got my heart but my heart's no good
you're the only one that's understood

i come along but i dont know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more i give to you the more i die

and i want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug

you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
i see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart

my blood just wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little good is left of me

and i want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug

take me with you

without you everything just falls apart

it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces


purest feeling

purest feeling
purest feeling

well i think i'm gonna push it
as far as it will go
give in to desire
only you will know

so tell me all your secrets
i'll stick it in your head
i wish i could remember
everything she said

purest feeling
purest feeling
purest feeling
purest feeling

well she could be a saviour
with everything she does
or some kind of punishment
for people just like us

i don't really believe she understands
what's happening to me
the sooner that she gets it
the better it will be

purest feeling
purest feeling
purest feeling
purest feeling

i have got to figure it out
i just want to know
i can't live with it

purest feeling

Supernaut

originally recorded by Black Sabbath
(Frank Iommi, Terance Butler, William Ward, John Osborne)

Practially every one of the top 40 records being played on
every radio station in the United States is a communication to the
children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. The psychedelic
jackets on the record albums have their own hidden symbols and
messages as well as the lyrics to all the top rock songs and they all
sing the same refrain: It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun
but I don't want to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find a distant man a-waving his spoon

Supernaut
Supernaut

I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the crossing near a golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years it never bothered me

Bothered me
Supernaut
Bothered me
Supernaut

They all sing the same refrain:
It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

25 seconds
20 seconds and counting
15 seconds, guidence is internal

ignition sequence starts
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and I got no need to pretend
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I leave it all behind

DEMOS AND REMIXES version of _TWIST_

well you've got me working so hard lately
working my hands until they bleed
if i was twice the man i could be
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
the small of your back up to your chin
over to the tip of your switchblade
as you pull it out as you stick it in

(twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) i'm wear
(twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper

(twist twist twist) i'm wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) you make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) (but?) i love the pain

(twist twist twist) it can go a little deeper
(twist twist twist) i'm wearing these chains
(twist twist twist) you make it hurt real good
(twist twist twist) i love the pain
(twist twist twist)
(twist twist twist)
(twist twist twist)
(twist twist twist)

Starfuckers, Inc.

My god sits in the back of the limousine
My god comes in a wrapper of cellophane
My god pouts on the cover of the magazine
My god is a shallow little bitch trying to make a scene
I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype
I listened to everyone now I know that everyone was right
I'll be there for you as long as it works for me
I play a game it's called insincerity
Starfuckers
Starfuckers
Starfuckers, Incorporated
I am every fucking thing and just a little more
I sold my soul but don't you dare call me a whore
And when I suck you off not a drop will go to waste
It's really not so bad you know once you get past the
(Asskisser) taste, yeah
Starfuckers
Starfuckers
Starfuckers, Incorporated
All our pain
How did you think we'd ever get by without you?
You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? (repeat)
Now I belong, I'm one of the chosen ones
Now I belong, I'm one of the beautiful ones



Somewhat Damaged

so impressed with all you do
tried so hard to be like you
flew too high and burnt the wing
lost my faith in everything

lick around divine debris
taste the wealth of hate in me
shedding skin succumb defeat
this machine is obsolete

made the choice to go away
drink the fountain of decay
tear a hole exquisite red
fuck the rest and stab it dead

broken bruised forgotten sore
too fucked up to care anymore
poisoned to my rotten core
too fucked up to care anymore

in the back off the side far away is a place where i hide where i
stay tried to say tried to ask i needed to all alone by myself
where were you?
how could i ever think it's funny how everything that
swore it wouldn't change is different now just like you
would always say we'll make it through then my head fell apart
and where were you?
how could i ever think it's funny how everything you swore would
never change is different now like you said you and me make it
through didn't quite fell apart
where the fuck were you?

The Day The World Went Away


I'd listen to the words he'd say
In his voice I heard decay
The plastic face forced to portray
The insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear, it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away




The Wretched

just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm
through
just to push you down
just to hold you down
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to this
back at the beginning
sinking
spinning

and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be

but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
you can try to stop it but





We're in this Together


I've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound
as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we've found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther i fall i'm beside you
as lost as i get i will find you
the deeper the wound i'm inside you
forever and ever i am a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and i'm the king
nothing else means anything






the fragile


she shines
in a world 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





Even Deeper

i woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of my footprints
from where i ran away
it seems everything i've heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)
sometimes, i have everything-
yet i wish i felt something

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have i become?
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper

and in a dream i'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life i feel complete-
and i still want to ruin it
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway

i hear them call
i cannot stay
the voice inviting me away

do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have i become?
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs...

i'm straight
i won't crack
on my way
and i can't turn back
i'm okay
i'm on track
on my way
and i can't turn back
i stayed
on this track
gone too far
and i can't come back
i stayed
on this track
lost my way
can't come back




No, you don't

smiling in their faces
while filling up the hole
so many dirty little places
in your filthy little worn out
broken down see through soul

baby's got a problem
tries so hard to hide
got to keep it on the surface
because everything else is dead on the other side

teeth in the necks of everyone you know
you can keep on sucking until the blood won't flow
when it starts to hurt it only helps to grow
taking all you need
(but not this time)
no, you don't

and just for the record
just so you know
i did not believe
that you could sink so low

you think that you can beat them
i know that you won't
you think you have everything
but no, you don't

no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't







La Mer

And when the day arrives
I'll become the sky
and i'll become the sea

and the wea will come to kiss me
for i am going
home

nothing can stop me now






The Great Below

staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me?
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you

all the world has closed your eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been

ocean pulls me close
her whispers in my ear
the destiny have chose
all becoming clear
the currents have less say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me dissapear

i decend from grace
in arms of undertow
i will take my place
in the great below

i can still feel you
even so far away
i can still feel you
even so far away
i can still feel you
even so far away
i can still feel you
even so far away
even so far away
even so far away
even so far away
so far away






The Way Out Is Through

All I've undergone
I will keep on

Underneath it all
We feel so small
The heavens fall
But still we crawl

All I've undergone
I will keep on






Into The Void

Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Talking to myself on the way to the station
Pictures in my head of the final destination
All lined up
(All the ones that aren't allowed to stay)
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
Tried to overcome the complications and the catches
Nothing ever grows and the sun doesn't shine all day
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away






Where Is Everybody?

did you happen to catch
or did it happen so fast
what you thought would always last
has passed you by
is everything speeding up
or am i slowing down
just spinning around
and i don't know why
all the pieces don't fit
thought i really didn't give a shit
i never wanted to be like you
but for all i aspire
i am really a liar
and i'm running out of things i can do

i'd like to stay
but every day
everything pushes me further away
if you could show
help me to know
how it's supposed to be
where did it go?

pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding

exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody

well okay, enough
you've had your fun
but come on there has got to be someone
that hasn't yet become
so numb
and succumb
and
god damn i am so tired of pretending
of wishing i was ending
when all i'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe i wish i could try

pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody






please

this is how
it begins
and push it away but it all comes back again
of flesh
of sin
there was a time when it used to mean just about everything
just like now
just like now

breath. . echoeing the sounds. . time starts slowing down. . sink untill i dround. . i don't want to ever make it stop. . and it keeps repeating. . will you please don't leave me

never be enough to fill me up
never be enough to fill me up
never be enough to fill me up

wash your eyes
turn away
it feels like home but it grows somewhere elses head
all my life
yeah yeah yeah yeah but it just left me dead
the war is over and i realize it was all in my head

now everything is clear
i erase the fear
i can dissapear
please, i don't ever want to make it stop
you can never leave me
will you please complete me






I'm looking forward to joining you, finally

as black as the night can get
everything is safe for now
there is always a way to forget
once you learn to find a way out
in the blur of serenity
biting everything get lost
the flowers of naivety
buried in the weight of the ?

the smell of sunshine
i remember sometime

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

the fools devotion
swallowed up in everday space
the tears of regret
frozen to the side of his face

the smell of sunshine
i remember sometime

i've done all i can do
could i please come with you?
sweet smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes






The Big Come Down

There is a game I play
Try to make myself okay
Try so hard to make the pieces all fit
Smash it apart
Just for the fuck of it

Bye bye ooh
Got to get back to the bottom
Bye bye ooh
The big comedown isn't that what you wanted
Bye bye ooh
Find a place with the failed and forgotten
Bye bye ooh
Isn't that really what you wanted now?

There is no place I can go there is no way I can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside

There is a hate that burns within
The most desperate place I have ever been
Try to get back where I'm from
The closer i get the worse it becomes
The closer i get the worse it becomes

There is no place I can go there is no place I can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside






Underneath It All

All I do
I can still feel you

Numb all through
I can still feel you
Hear your call
Underneath it all
Kill my brain
Yet you still remain
Crucified
After all I've died
After all I've tried
You are still inside

All I do
I can still feel you

You remain
I am stained
