'Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.'

'Take me down 6 underground
the ground beneath your feet
Laid out low
nothing to go
nowhere a way to meet
I've got a head full of drought down here
So far off losing out round here
Overground watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
Calm me down
bring it round too way
high off your street
I can see like nothing else
in me you're better than I wannabe
Don't think 'cos I understand I care
Don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends
Overground watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
Talk me down
safe and sound
too strung up to sleep
Wear me out
scream and shout
swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life
like I've lived too much
I take whatever you're given
not enough
Overground
watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace'

'You look so fine
I want to break your heart
and give you mine
You're taking me over
It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
and I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
that you used to know
You look so fine
Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through
Bleeding for you
I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me
You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me
I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
that you used to know
You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over
You're taking me over'

'I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
and drown your fears
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You will believe in me
and I will never be ignored
I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
and tear it apart
I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
you're just like me
Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
and I can never be ignored
I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sink ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you'

'Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy ever more
Everything I had to give
gave out long before
Fix me now
I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind somebody should
From hollow into light
Crashing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up and who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
Fix me now
I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind somebody should
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
Fix me now
I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind somebody should
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day'

'cus you're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
You're all I've got tonight
I need you tonight
I don't care if you use me again
I don't care if you abuse me again
You can make me I don't care
You can fake me I don't care
You can love me just about anywhere
it's alright

You don't have to make believe it's you
You can pump me I don't care
You can bump I don't care
You can love me just about anywhere

I don't know just where you've been
But I'll take take take
All that you have for me
In sin
Where are we going?
And they all want you to change
And they all want you to change
And the sad sad sad
All the sad faces drown
In this town
Where are we going?
And they all want you to change
Where are we going?
And they all want you to change
Where are we going?'

'I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less
I'm looking for a new infection
But we were the talk of the town
I thought you were special'

'Love hangs herself
With the bedsheets in her cell
Threw myself on fires for you
10 good reasons to stay alive
10 good reasons that I can't find
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul
Oh, give me one reason to be beautiful
Oh, and everything I am
Love hates you
I live my life in ruins for you
And for all your secrets kept
I squashed the blossom and the blossom's dead
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul
Oh, and I will make myself so beautiful
Oh, and everything I am
Miles and miles of perfect skin
I swear I do, I fit right in
My love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
Miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear I said, I fit right in
I fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe
Hey baby take it all the way down
Hey baby taste me all the way
Oh you were born
So pretty oh summerbabe
We'll never know..
And fading like a rose
Give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul
I'll give you my body, just sell me your soul
Oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold
Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold
And they say in the end
You'll get bitter just like them
And they steal your heart away
When the fire goes out you better learn to fake
It's better to rise, than fade away...
Hey, you were right
Named a star for you eyes
Did you freeze, did you weep
Turn to gold, baby, sleep
Hey honey mine
I was there all the time
And I weep at your feet
And it rains and rains'

'She's the angel on, top of the tree
Sugar heart here she comes
She's growing to fall on me
Innocence was our fire
We told the truth
I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
And they will make you so
So cynical
The fire burns the flesh
Destroyed the best and made us old
She's the grace of this world
She's too pure
For the lacks of this world
This world is our whore
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Hey, it's all mine
Hey, it's all mine
Hey, it's all mine
I never knew what I could be
All the darling buds of May
They fall with no sound
They carry you down
They carry you down
All the lilies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and they're shivering
I can't stop their withering
Oh, this world is a war
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you'

'We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare
With multi-million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world'

'If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feeling
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sweetened with emotion
Invented at your birth
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feeling
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sweetened with emotion
Invented at your birth
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me
Infinity
Deep inside of me'

'Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't tell me what I want to hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you
They still
Smell her on you
Smell her on you'

'Wake up kids
We've got the dreamers disease
Age 14
We got you down on your knees
So polite, you're busy still saying please
Frienemies
Who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night we smash their Mercedes-Benz
First we run; and then we laugh till we cry
But when the night is falling
and you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
You only get what you give
Four a.m.
We ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke
But hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial
But when the night is falling
and you cannot find a friend
You feel your dream is breaking
Just then
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
You only get what you give
This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be ok, follow your heart
You're in harms way
I'm right behind
Now say you're mine
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
you only get what you give
Don't let go
We feel the music in you
Fly high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
Just don't be afraid to leave
Health insurance rip off
Lying FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion mag shoots
with the aid of Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around
We'll kick your ass in!
Don't let go
One dance left'
