Sweat 

Sweating and breathing and staring and thinking. 
Sinking deeper and it's almost like I'm swimming. 
The sun is burning hot again on the hunter and the fisherman. 
And I'm trying to remember when, but it makes me dizzy. 

Seems like I've been here before. 
Seems so familiar. 
Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream. 

It's the way you whisper... 

Sun is setting cool again, I'm a thinker and a fisherman. 
And I'm trying to remember when, but it makes me dizzy. 
And I'm sweating and breathing, staring, thinking. 
Sinking deeper and it's almost like I'm swimming. 

Seems like I've been here before. 
Seems so familiar. 
Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream. 

It's the way you whisper. 
Drag me under. 
Takes me whole. 

Seems like I've been here before. 
Seems so familiar. 
Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream. 

It's the way you whisper. 
Drag me under. 
Takes me whole. 

Hush 

Fuck you!!! 

I can say what I want to. 
Even if I'm not serious. 
I can say what I want to. 
Even if I'm not serious. 

Fuck yourself. Fuck yourself. 
You piece of shit. 
Why don't you just go kill yourself. 

I can say what I want I to. 
Even if I'm not serious. 
I can say what I want to. 
Even if I'm just kidding. 

People tell me what to say. 
What to think and what to play. 
People tell me what to say. 
What to think and what to play. 

I say fuck yourself. Fuck yourself 
You piece of shit. 
Why don't you just go kill yourself. 

I can say what I want to. 
Even if I'm not serious. 
I can say what I want to. 
Even if I'm just kidding. 

Go fuck yourself. 
Go fuck yourself. 
You piece of shit 
Why don't you go fuck yourself?!? 

People tell me what to say. 
What to think and what to play. 
People tell me what to say. 
What to think and what to play. 

Just kidding. 
Just kidding. 
I'm just kidding. 

Part of Me 

I know you well, you are a part of me 
I know you better than I know myself. 
I know you best, better than anyone 
I know you better than I know myself. 
You are a part of me. 

You are just a part of me. 
You are just a part of me. 
You are just a part of me. 
You are just a part of me. 

Give it up! 

You don't speak 
You don't judge 
You can't leave. 
You can't hurt me. 
Just here for me to use. 

I know you well, you are a part of me 
I know you better than I know myself. 
I know you best, better than anyone 
I know you better than I know myself. 
I know you well, better than one might think. 
I know you better than I know myself. 

I know you well, you are a part of me. 
I know you best, better than anyone. 
I know you well, you are a part of me. 
I know you best, better than one might think. 
It's time for you to make a sacrifice. 
It's time to die a little, give it up! 

I know you better, better than anyone. 
I know you better than I know myself. 
A part of me. 

Cold and Ugly 

Safe... [ sane? ] 

Underneath the skin and jewlery, 
Hidden in her words and eyes. 
Is a world that's cold and ugly. 
She's scared as hell. 

Drumming up the thought of feeling. 
Wide awake and keeping distance. 
Nothing seems to penetrate her 
'Cause she's scared as hell! 

I am frightened too. 
I am frightened. 

Drumming up the thought of feeling. 
Wide awake and keeping distance. 
Nothing seems to penetrate her 
'Cause she's scared as hell! 

I am frightened too. 
I am frightened. 

Wide awake and keeping distance from my soul. 
Wide awake and keeping distance from my soul. 

Safe... [ Sane? ] 

Underneath the skin and jewlery, 
Hidden in her words and eyes. 
Is a world that's cold and ugly. 
She's scared as hell. 

Drumming up the thought of feeling. 
Wide awake and keeping distance. 
Nothing seems to penetrate her 
'Cause she's scared as hell. 

I am frightened too. 
I am frightened too. 
I am scared like you. 
I am frightened. 

Jerk-Off 

"Used to be a bunch of assholes that lived in this part of the building here. But we
systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach." 

Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong. 
Punishment was cure for those who dare to cross the line. 
But it must not be true for jerk-offs just like you. 
And maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole. 
You're tired of waiting. 

Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong. 
Punishment was cure for those who dare cross the line. 
But it must not be true for jerk-offs just like you. 
And maybe it's just bullshit. I should play god and shoot you myself! 
Tired of waiting! 

Consequences dictate course of action. 
And it doesn't matter what's right. 
It's only wrong if you get caught. 
If consequences dictate my course of action I should, 
I should play god and just shoot you myself! 
Tired of waiting. 
Die! 
Shoot it! 
Kick it! 
Fuck it! 
Shoot you in your fuckin' head! 

Opiate 

Choices always were a problem for you. 
What you need is someone strong to guide you. 

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. 
What you need is someone strong to guide you. 
Like me. Like me. Like me. Like me. 

If you want to get your soul to heaven. 
Trust in me now don't you judge or question. 
You are broken now but faith can heal you. 
Just do everything I tell you to do. 

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. 
What you need is someone strong to guide you. 
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. 
Let me lay my holy hand upon you! 

My gods' will becomes me. When he speaks, he speaks through me. 
He has needs. Like I do. We both want to rape you. 

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now. 
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now. 
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now. 
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now. 

If you want to get your soul to heaven. 
Trust in me now don't you judge or quesion. 
You are broken now, but faith can heal you. 
Just do everything I tell you to do. 

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now. 
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now. 
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now. 
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now. 

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. 
Let me lay my holy hand upon you! 
My gods' will becomes me. When he speaks, he speaks through me. 
He has needs. Like I do. We both want to rape you!
