Hey, Cruel World... (I am among no one)
 
 
Hey, cruel world. . .
 
You don't have what it takes
 
We don't need your faith.
 
We've got fucking fate.
 
 
Hey, cruel world. . .
 
You don't have what it takes
 
We don't need your faith.
 
We've got fucking fate.
 
 
Creator
 
Preserver
 
Destroyer
 
Ask which one I am.
 
There's no drugged-out devils or
 
Square-halo angels
 
Walking among us.
 
 
I am among no one
 
I am among no one
 
I am among no one
 
No one
 
 
Hey, cruel world. . .
 
You don't have what it takes
 
We don't need your faith.
 
We've got fucking fate.

Fate
 
 
The center of the universe
 
Cannot exist
 
When there are no,
 
No edges
 
The center of the universe
 
Cannot exist
 
When there are no,
 
No edges
 
 
Hey, cruel world. . .
 
You don't have what it takes
 
We don't need your faith.
 
We've got fucking fate.

No Reflection
 
 
Crushing
 
Cheating
 
Changing
 
 
Am I deaf or dead?
 
Is this constricting construction,
 
Or just streets with rusty signs,
 
Or something violent
 
Coming?
 
 
This will hurt you
 
Worse than me.
 
I'm weak,
 
7 days I'm weak.
 
Don't run from me.
 
I won't bother
 
Counting 1, 2, 3…
 
 
I don't know which me that I love
 
I've got no reflection
 
I don't know which me that I love
 
I've got no reflection
 
 
I can show myself
 
How to make a noose.
 
A gun's cliche,
 
And a razor too.
 
I'm not a death-trip vacation
 
Vacant station,
 
Made of scars
 
And filled with my old wounds.
 
 
This will hurt you
 
Worse than me.
 
I'm weak,
 
7 days I'm weak.
 
Don't run from me.
 
I won't bother
 
Counting 1, 2, 3…
 
 
I don't know which me that I love
 
I've got no reflection
 
I don't know which me that I love
 
I've got no reflection
 
 
You…
 
You don't even want to know
 
What I'm gonna do to you
 
You don't even want to know
 
What I'm gonna do to you
 
 
I don't know which me that I love
 
I've got no reflection
 
I don't know which me that I love
 
I've got no reflection
 
No reflection
 
No reflection
 
I've got no reflection
 
 
 
Pistol Whipped (Pretty Cool)
 
 
You look so pretty
 
When you cry.
 
Don't wanna hit you
 
But the only thing,
 
Between our love is
 
(1) A bloody nose
 
(2) A busted lip
 
And
 
(3) A blackened eye
 
 
You look so pretty
 
When you cry.
 
Don't wanna hit you
 
But the only thing,
 
Between our love is
 
(1) A bloody nose
 
(2) A busted lip
 
And
 
(3) A blackened eye
 
 
You're a little pistol
 
And I'm fucking pistol whipped
 
You're a little pistol
 
And I'm fucking pistol whipped
 
 
(Cock, cock, cock it)
 
 
When I undo my belt,
 
You melt and you walk away
 
With a red, red, red welt
 
(Or so they say)
 
 
When I undo my belt,
 
You melt and you walk away
 
With a red, red, red welt

You're a little pistol
 
And I'm fucking pistol whipped
 
You're a little pistol
 
And I'm fucking pistol whipped
 
 
I wanna have your ache
 
And beat you too
 
I wanna have your ache
 
And beat you too

Overneath (Badass. With the shakespeare quote and all)
 
 
“And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
 
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
 
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
 
That struts and gets his hour upon the stage,
 
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
 
Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury,
 
Signifying nothing."
 
- William Shakespeare
 
 
Stare into my Kodak Rome
 
Jack-Hammer ice eyes
 
I never thought you'd see
 
The asphalt crack, crack, crack
 
Like black eggshell
 
 
Don't ever say I never warned
 
You from the start
 
Don't ever say I never warned
 
You from the start
 
You're not a shovel
 
And I'm not your dirt
 
 
Is there anyway to unswallow
 
My pride?
 
Can I fuck myself down?
 
Why die.
 
When you can kill the father?
 
Dad is missing an 'e'
 
 
No Macbeth
 
Confessed Oedipus,
 
No longer present tense
 
No Macbeth

No no no no no reason
 
No no no no no reason
 
No no no no no reason
 
 
High and overneath
 
High and overneath
 
 
I won't regret
 
Letting you live
 
Even if you forgot
 
What you never saved me from
 
So I say 'whatever'
 
Or fornever
 
 
For for for for for fornever
 
For for for for for fornever
 
for for for for for fornever
 
'Whatever'
 
 
The Rape of Persephone
 
Was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks
 
The Rape of Persephone
 
Was a marketing scheme
 
Rape rape rape per so phony
 
Rape rape rape per so phony
 
Rape rape rape per so phony
 
Rape rape rape per so phony
 
 
High and overneath

Cannot be low

From the top of my lungs
 
To the bottom of my heart
 
I scream
 
At the chasm in between
 
And the path of misery
 
From the top of my lungs
 
To the bottom of my heart
 
I scream
 
At the chasm in between
 
And the path of misery
 
 
High and overneath

Slo-Mo-Tion (Just. Fucking. Cool. Very GOAG)
 
 
You've got your
 
Hell's teeth
 
Smiling at you.
 
It keeps your brain safe,
 
As it all eat at your face. . .
 
 
And don't worry
 
We'll 'blur it out'
 
And no one
 
Ever will know,
 
Oh
 
No, oh oh oh
 
 
This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is hot
 
in slo-motion
 
This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is shot
 
in slo-motion
 
 
SLO-MO-TION
 
 
Pump in the laughter
 
Of dead-audience applause
 
And TEENAGE RAPE candidates
 
I think we got ourselves
 
A 'real hit'
 
Don't we wish
 
That we had something
 
More than
 
Hate amber panic
 
And panic
 
Morbid panic
 
Hate and morbid panic
 
 
This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is hot
 
in slo-motion
 
This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is shot
 
in slo-motion
 
 
SLO-MO-TION
 
 
I'm the host with Vaseline
 
I hide behind bulletproof glass
 
And I can fell your tits
 
With my brand new camera
 
(Equipped with a flash)
 
Fast-food-nude
 
I hate you all
 
But somehow
 
You find me. . .
 
Incredibly charming
 
 
This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is hot
 
in slo-motion
 
This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is shot
 
in slo-motion
 
 
SLO-MO-TION
 
(Incredibly charming)
 
SLO-MO-TION

This is my beautiful show
 
And everything is hot

The Gardener (Obsessively fetishize)
 
 
I'm not man enough to be human
 
But I'm trying to fit in
 
And I'm learning to fake it
 
 
Don't ever meet their friends
 
It tells you too much
 
Or not enough
 
Or worse
 
Exactly the wrong thing
 
Every nuance
 
Every detail
 
Every movement
 
Every smell
 
Sound
 
Phrase
 
The way she laughs
 
These are the things that you obsessively fetishize
 
Or make yourself grow to love
 
But you are supposed to be done growing
 
She is still growing
 
Its like a garden with two flowers
 
One just blocking and casting a shadow
 
Just like yours
 
Then it becomes a struggle
 
Of sunlight
 
Or rain
 
Or weeds
 
She and every she
 
Is doomed to be your idea of her
 
She and every she
 
Is doomed to be your idea of her
 
 
I'm not man enough to be human
 
But I'm trying to fit in
 
And I'm learning to fake it
 
Fa fa fa fa fake it
 
Fa fa fa fa fake it
 
Ffffffffffffffake it
 
 
But worse so,
 
Back to the point
 
You are no longer the flower
 
And the sun
 
And most importantly the garden
 
Or the gardener
 
A muse
 
Your amusement
 
I am used
 
Its all ruined if you meet their friends
 
 
She and every she
 
Is doomed to be your idea of her
 
I'm not man enough to be human
 
But I'm trying to fit in
 
And I'm learning to fake it
 
Fa fa fa fa fake it
 
Fa fa fa fa fake it
 
Ffffffffffffffake it
 
 
You never wanted
 
To share
 
Your concept of your creation
 
With any other gods or worshippers
 
Your book isn't burned
 
It was never written
 
Your book isn't burned
 
It was never written
 
 
I'm not man enough to be human
 
But I'm trying to fit in
 
And I'm learning to fake it
 
Fa fa fa fa fake it
 
Fa fa fa fa fake it
 
Ffffffffffffffake it
 
 
 
The Flowers of Evil (A long song, but not many lyrics. More instrumentals? Very abstract)
 
 
 
The day they covered us in the dirt
 
Like stars in the ground
 
That will grow into dead flowers
 
The day they covered us in the dirt
 
Like stars in the ground
 
That will grow into dead flowers
 
 
Your body's on me
 
Like sleepless spiders.
 
Your touch is so empty
 
Your touch is so empty
 
 
Your body's on me
 
Like sleepless spiders.
 
Your touch is so empty
 
Your touch is so empty
 
Your touch is so empty
 
Your touch is so empty
 
 
I've been running
 
From the bloodless
 
For fear of exile
 
For all of my sorceries
 
That shun the light
 
I've been running
 
From the bloodless
 
For fear of exile
 
For all of my sorceries
 
That shun the light
 
 
The day they covered us in the dirt
 
Like stars in the ground
 
That will grow into dead flowers
 
The day they covered us in the dirt
 
Like stars in the ground
 
That will grow into dead flowers
 
 
I've been running
 
From the bloodless
 
For fear of exile
 
For all of my sorceries
 
That shun the light
 
I've been running
 
From the bloodless
 
For fear of exile
 
For all of my sorceries
 
That shun the light
 
Light
 
Light
 
Light
 
Light
 
 
Children of Cain (Yes, he says fucking Children of Cain in the chorus. Awesome. This is the song all the triptych worshippers have been wanting)
 
 
 
Sacrifice won't suffice
 
Resurrection needs your death
 
To happen twice
 
Fall on my heart
 
And burn and forge
 
Your tortured black-smitten
 
Into the sharpest, fucking sword
 
 
Don't assume that I'm always with you
 
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
 
 
No Sineater to slay
 
Us Children of Cain
 
Watching monkey suicide
 
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
 
 
Christ consciousness
 
Manifest to the Golden Ratio
 
5 or 500 year ago
 
We were 15 foot high
 
And to die
 
Was a Bardot Bridge(t)
 
We never thought we'd cross
 
To burn down behind and below
 
 
No Sineater to slay
 
Us Children of Cain
 
Watching monkey suicide
 
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
 
 
Don't assume that I'm always with you
 
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
 
 
So take your little black book
 
I see the way that you look in to it
 
I'll eat it and I'll cut my tongue
 
And all the pages you spread,
 
Sweet as honey you said
 
But I'm choking on your bitter stories
 
 
No Sineater to slay
 
Us Children of Cain
 
Watching monkey suicide
 
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
 
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
 
 
 
Disengaged (404 ERROR FACE)
 
 
 
And I could look into the
 
Crowded morgue of mistakes
 
The sun stopped its smile
 
And frowned on me too
 
My re-built/re-mastered heart
 
Is smashed into its faces
 
And its face is confused
 
 
I cut my throat in two
 
I said "sorry" to you,
 
For begin a fool
 
But I didn't forgiveness.
 
It was regret,
 
Not an apology
 
It was regret
 
Regret
 
Regret

Disengaged
 
 
You're with me, against me
 
But the only thing forever is hate
 
 
I forgot what I saw
 
Before and after that day
 
I'd trade all I was worth
 
To make myself in to
 
The handsomest gun
 
And put the diamond bullet
 
into your
 
404 ERROR face
 
 
Dis

Disengaged

Disengaged
 
 
You're with me, against me
 
But the only thing forever is hate
 
 
And I'm an event,
 
Everybody knows
 
You decide if you can live
 
Or you decide to let someone
 
Decide for you

Lay Down you prick (Chorus made me cum just reading it)
 
 
 
I'm not of this world
 
You're not in this heart
 
This isn't in me
 
I'm not of this world
 
You're no in this heart
 
This isn't in me
 
To open the box
 
You can't shoot the lock
 
I hide everything
 
So you can't see
 
 
Wanna fight?
 
Wanna fuck?
 
Wanna die?
 
Try your luck. . .
 
Lay down your goddamn arms
 
 
Wanna fight?

Wanna die?
 
Try your luck. . .
 
Lay down your goddamn arms
 
 
There isn't a key,
 
You can use one me
 
There isn't a key,
 
So lay down your arms
 
Arms

You're a book
 
Every page is written
 
In words
 
I cannot read
 
 
So I burn
 
Gotta burn

So lay down your arms

So I burn
 
Gotta burn
 
Gotta burn
 
Gotta burn it
 
 
 
Murderers are getting shit on my pants (This song better have some good instrumentals and justify the title being so long. I think song is basically worshipped murderers before he kills a loved one)
 
 
 
Do you always
 
Have to hire actors,
 
To play the devils
 
That talk me
 
Out of my
 
Sui-sites?
 
 
You're just
 
A ring tone,
 
That happens when
 
You get sick enough
 
To call the one
 
With bullet holes,
 
Bullet holes for eyes
 
 
Fall on your knees
 
I hear the horrid voices
 
Of someone else's angels
 
Fall on your knees
 
I hear the horrid voices
 
Of someone else's angels
 
 
I broke open the box
 
When I spoke the spell
 
I became
 
An entrance wound
 
To your bedroom grave,
 
and I was paid
 
With the shadow of consensual rape
 
Your ransom note
 
Is quoted by,
 
Your death and
 
Birth certificates
 
And all of your love,
 
And all of your love letters
 
Read just like my will
 
 
Fall on your knees
 
I hear the horrid voices
 
Of someone else's angels
 
Fall on your knees
 
I hear the horrid voices
 
Of someone else's angels
 
 
I don't have to see
 
To know that murderers
 
Are getting Prettier
 
Every day
 
I don't have to see
 
To know that murderers
 
Are getting Prettier
 
Every day
 
 
Fall on your knees
 
I hear the horrid voices
 
Of someone else's angels
 
 
Born Villain (Not what you'd expect. Click click)
 
 
 
I could give you a dozen
 
Fresh,
 
Cut,
 
Pink, or red, or white
 
I wonder if they knew what they
 
Would grow to become
 
 
I could give you a dozen

Become become
 
Become become
 
Be be be become
 
 
You'll have to cut it down
 
And burn me into splinters
 
Or I'll unwrap the string that was me,
 
Around your finger.
 
And I'll hang you in
 
Your bedroom burial ground
 
 
There is a taste for blood
 
And it's something deep inside
 
There is a taste for blood
 
And it's deep inside
 
 
Become become
 
Become become
 
Be be be become
 
 
I don't ever want God
 
To hear our screams
 
And mistake them for prayers.
 
And you know I'm loaded
 
But not which chamber
 
Touch me and I'll go
 
Click click click click click
 
Click click click click click

I'm born villain
 
Don't pretend to be a victim

Don't pretend to be a victim
 
I'm born villain
 
Don't pretend to be a victim
 
 
Breaking the same old ground (Pretty damn good for an ending song)
 
 
 
And then I found how to be what you want
 
When I was out looking for something new
 
 
Digging too deep
 
And now it's too late
 
We just keep on
 
Breaking the same old ground
 
 
So you think that I asked for this
 
Well, let me show you
 
What I think of your lips
 
And you think that I asked for this
 
Come on,
 
Use your fist
 
 
And then I found how to be what you want
 
When I was out looking for something new
 
 
Digging too deep
 
And now it's too late
 
We just keep on
 
Breaking the same old ground
 
 
So you think that I asked for this
 
Well, let me show you
 
What I think of your lips
 
And you think that I asked for this
 
Come on,
 
Use your fist
 
 
When I found how to be what you want
 
I was looking for something new
 
Digging too deep
 
Now it's too late
 
We just keep on
 
Breaking the same old ground
 
Breaking the same old ground
 
Shhhhhh. . .
 
Shhhhhh. . .
 
 
I am owned by death
 
And
 
I'm in love with oblivion
 
 
am owned by death
 
And
 
I'm in love with oblivion
