Mr Self Destruct

i am the voice inside your head    and i control you
i am the lover in your bed         and i control you
i am the sex that you provide      and i control you
i am the hate you try to hide      and i control you

i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr self destruct

i speak religions message clear    and i control you
i am denial guilt and fear         and i control you
i am the prayers of the naive      and i control you
i am the lie that you believe      and i control you

i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr self destruct

i am the needle in your vein       and i control you
i am the high you cant sustain     and i control you
i am the pusher im a whore         and i control you
i am the need you have for more    and i control you
i am the bullet in the gun         and i control you
i am the truth from which you run  and i control you
i am the silencing machine         and i control you
i am the end of all your dreams    and i control you

i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr self destruct

Heresy he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see he tries to tell me what i put inside of me hes got the answers to ease my curiosity he dreamed up a god and called it christianity 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?

Ruiner you had all of them on your side didnt you? you believe in all your lies didnt you? the ruiners got a lot to prove hes got nothing to lose and now he made you believe the ruiners your only friend well hes 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 didnt you? you had to covet what was mine didnt you? the ruiners a collector hes an infector serving his shit to his flies maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize maybe its a part of me you took to a place i hoped it would never go and maybe that fucked me up much more than youll ever know how did you get so big? how did you get so strong? how did you get so hard? how did it get so long? what you gave to me my perfect ring of scars you know i can see what you really are you didnt hurt me nothing can hurt me you didnt hurt me nothing can stop me now
The Becoming i beat my machine its a part of me its inside of me im stuck in this dream its changing me i am becoming the me that you know he had some second thoughts hes covered with scabs he is broken and sore the me that you know he doesnt come around much that part of me isnt here anymore all pain disappears its the nature of of my circuitry drowns out all i hear theres no escape from this my new consciousness that me that you know he used to have feelings but the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay the me that you know is now made up of wires and even when im right with you im so far away i can try to get away but ive 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 dont want to listen but its all too clear hiding backwards inside of me i feel so unafraid annie, hold a little tighter i might just slip away it wont give up it wants me dead goddamn this noise inside my head
I Do Not Want This im losing ground you know how this world can beat you down im made of clay i fear im the only one who thinks this way im always falling down the same hill bamboo puncturing this skin and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall im 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 dont you tell me how i feel dont you tell me how i feel dont you tell me how i feel you dont know just how i feel i stay inside my bed i have lived so many lives all in my head dont tell me that you care there really isnt anything, is there? you would know, wouldnt you? you extend your hand to those who suffer to those who know what it really feels like to those whove had a taste like that means something and oh so sick i am and maybe i dont 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 dont you tell me how i feel dont you tell me how i feel dont you tell me how i feel you dont 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 ill make you suck it maybe ill put a hole in your head you know, just for the fuck of it i can reduce you if i want i can devour im hard as fucking steel and ive got the power im every inch a man and ill show you somehow me and my fucking gun nothing can stop me now shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot im 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 shes 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 will 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 top
The Downward Spiral he couldnt 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 everythings 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 thats 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 liars 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
