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
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down, I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear
You are someone else; I am still right here
What have I become, my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know goes away in the end
And 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

Sick of You
03:56

Your socks they smell, your feet they stink
You never take a bath
Your nose it runs, you bust your buns,
You always finish last
Oh I am sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
I'm sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
Your face is gross, you eat my dust
You don't know what to do
You trust your luck, you really suck,
And so I'm sick of you
Oh I am sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
I'm sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
Don't you know? So sick of you
The things you say, the things you do
Don't you know? So sick of you
The things you say, and all the things you do
Don't you know? I am so sick of you
The things you say, and all the things you do
Oh don't you know, I am so sick of you
The things you say, and all the things you do
Don't you know, I'm so sick of you
Yeah, the things you say, and the things you do
Say it don't you know, I'm so sick of you
Yeah the things you say and every single thing that you do
Sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
I'm sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
I'm sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you
I'm sick of you, I'm so sick, so sick of you

Radioactive
04:11

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in and shaping up
And checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones, enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
I'm radioactive, radioactive
I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flag and don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
I'm breaking in and shaping up
And checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones, enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
I'm radioactive, radioactive
I'm radioactive, radioactive
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones, enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
I'm radioactive, radioactive
I'm radioactive, radioactive
I'm radioactive, radioactive

We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know, oh come on, come on, come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Come on, come on, come on...
Oh no
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
for me to go, so let me know if it's all right
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She kicked and screamed while I held her throat
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know, oh come on, come on, come on
And then you whisper in my ear,
"I know what you're doing here"
Come on, come on, come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Come on, come on, come on...
Oh no

I Kissed A Girl
03:47
|

|
This was never the way I planned, not my intention
I got so brave, drink in my hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you, caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
Hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
No I don't even know your name, it does not matter
You're my experimental game, just human nature
It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave
My head gets so confused, hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
Hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
Hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right
Don't mean that I am in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Man Out of Time
04:08
|
|||
|
This is a requiem for a man out of time
Lost in delirium and in search of a sign
Wandering the endless fields, every breath may be his last
Navigating carcasses of a shadowy past
Ache in the bones and muscles to tear
He can't do it alone if he succumbs to the fear
And we're battered black and blue and it seems untrue, but the spirit lives on
This sense of dread as the poison spreads but the spirit lives on
We're battered black and blue, am I losing you? Gotta hold to the song
A shadow waits by the trembling gates but the spirit lives on
The spirit lives on
This is a memory of an age with no age
A handful of irony as it worships its plague
A sleep so encompassing that he's never asleep
A dullness inspiring as it settles beneath
Ache in the bones and muscles to tear
He can't do it alone if he succumbs to the fear
And we're battered black and blue and it seems untrue, but the spirit lives on
This sense of dread as the poison spreads but the spirit lives on
We're battered black and blue, am I losing you? Gotta hold to the song
A shadow waits by the trembling gates but the spirit lives on
You've gotta hold on tight
And don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you ever could believe
The body grieves, but the soul is free
We're battered black and blue and it seems untrue, but the spirit lives on
This sense of dread as the poison spreads but the spirit lives on
We're battered black and blue, am I losing you? Gotta hold to the song
A shadow waits by the trembling gates but the spirit lives on
The spirit lives on
The spirit lives on

Goodbye Forever
03:14
|

|
Just when I thought that you couldn't get any worse
You took such delight in twisting the knife in my back
Every day you found a new way to make me hurt
But now you're gone and I'm never gonna let you back
And oh my God, it's finally time
You breathed your last breath, committed your last crime
Goodbye forever
So long, farewell
Goodbye forever
I'd tell you that I'll miss you but the truth is, you can go to hell
