First topic message reminder :

"Sanctified"

It's still getting worse after everything I've tried.
What if I found a way to wash it all aside.
What if she touches with those fingertips,
As the words spill out like fire from her lips?

[Chorus:]
And if she says come inside I'll come inside for her.
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified. I am purified. I am sanctified. Inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel.
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell (bitch).
I still dream of lips I never should have kissed.
Well she knows exactly what I can't resist

[Chorus]

I'm still caught up in another of her spells.
Well she's turning me into someone else.
Everyday I hope and pray this will end.
But when I can I do it all again

[Chorus]

As surely as the blade's course is run.
Maybe my kingdom's finally come.

"In This Twilight"

Watch the sun,
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like,
Like it was a friend.
It is watching us,
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder,
If it feels the same?

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilight

Dust to dust,
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person
If I could only do it all again

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better a place
In this twilight

"1,000,000"

Kind of hard
Hard to see
When you crawl
On your hands and your knees
With your face
In the trough
Wait your turn
While they finish you off
Don't know when it started
Don't know how
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines
On my face
After all this time
And i still haven't found my place

I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel any thing at all

I wake up
On the floor
Start it up again
Like it matters anymore
I don't know
If it does
Is this really all
That there ever was?
Put the gun
In my mouth
Close your eyes
Blow my fucking brains out
Pretty patterns
On the floor
That's enough for you
But i still need more

I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel any thing at all

"Zero-Sum"

They're starting to open up the sky, they're starting to reach down through.
And it feels like we're living in that split second of a car crash.
And time is slowing down, and if we only had a little more time
and this time
is all there is.

Do you remember the time we...?
And all the times we...?
And should have...?
And were going to...?
I know.

And I know you remember, how we could justify it all.
And we knew better; in our hearts... we knew better.
And we told ourselves it didn't matter.
And we chose to continue, and none of that matters anymore.
In the hour of our twilight...
And soon it will be all said and done, and we will all be back together, as one...
If we will continue at all.

Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us for all we have done
And all we ever were. Just zeroes and ones

And you never get away, and you never get to take the easy way,
And all of this is a consequence, brought on by our own hand
If you believe in that sort of thing.
And did you ever really find, when you closed your eyes,
Any place that was still, and at peace?

And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade,
That you are the reason that I am not afraid.
And I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall,
We will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us for all we have done
And all we ever were. Just zeroes and ones

"Discipline"

Am I
Am I still tough enough?
Feels like i’m wearing down, down, down, down, down
Is my visciousness
Losing ground, ground, ground, ground ground?
Am I taking too much
Did I cross a line, line, line?
I need my role in this
Very clearly defined

I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself

And now it's starting up
Feels like i'm losing touch
Nothing matters to me
Nothing matters as much

I see you left a mark
Up and down my skin
I don't know where I end
And where you begin

I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself

I. Can. Not. Stop. Myself.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you know.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you.
Once I start I cannot stop myself
And you know.
Once I start I cannot stop myself

I need your discipline
(And you)
I need your help
(Once I start I cannot stop myself)
I need your discipline
(And you know)
Because once I start I cannot stop myself
I need your discipline
(And you)
I need your help
(Once I start I cannot stop myself)
I need your discipline
(And you know)
Because once I start I cannot stop myself

"Letting You"

The sky is painted black
The smoke pours out the stack
One hand upon your heart
One hand behind your back
You train us how to act
You keep the fear intact
The imminent attack
Everything is right on track

And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away with it

Upon our plates to feed
The dying left to bleed
How much we really need
Your politics of greed
The cancer takes ahold
The wolf is in the fold
Our destiny's been sold
We do just what we're told

And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away with it

Your armies filled with hate
Believing your charade
Begin to suffocate
For us it's far too late

And we are letting you get away
We are letting you get away with it

"Echoplex"

Nice and high and far apart
Just like they said
I built this place with broken parts
Just like they said
You chip away the old version of you
You'd be surprised at what you can do
I'm safe in here
Irrelevant
Just like they said

My voice just echoes off these walls

You feel me breathe
I am watching you
I see it all
The many ways you can't get to me
I see it all
I see the Hell you put yourself through
Oh the things I could do (if I wanted to)

My voice just echoes off these walls
My voice just echoes off these walls
I don't need anything at all
My voice just echoes off these walls

And I just slowly fade away

You will never ever get to me in here

"Head Down"

You
What you looking at?
Head down
Too late for that
What you want
What you get
Know your place
Don't ever forget

And this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I'll give anything
I'll give anything

Hey you
What you running from?
All your hate
What you've become
Bet you didn't think
It would happen to you
All used up
Half way through

And this is not my face
And this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here
I can recognize
This is all a dream
And none of you are real
I'll give anything
I'll give anything

"Lights In The Sky"

She's mostly gone
Some other place
I'm getting by
In other ways
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
Try to justify the things
I used to do
Believe in you

Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And i am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Have finally arrived
I am staying right beside you

I tried to stay away
You know
Just in case
I've come to realize
We all have our place
Time has a way you know
To make it clear
I have my role in this
I can't disappear
Or leave you here

Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And i am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Are waving goodbye
I am staying right beside you

"Demon Seed"

1
It keeps growing
And i can feel it breathe
I have been trying
To behave myself
It keeps growing
And i can feel it breathe
I have been trying
To tolerate you

2
Well i am reaching the point
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

3
I thought maybe
I thought this would go away
But it continues
The only constant
Every day
Stronger

4
I will use my voice
And i will use my fist
To destroy
Everything i can

5
Now i know
What this is all about
Now i know
Exactly what i am

6
These is a seed
Inside of me
That makes me

"All The Pigs, All Lined Up"

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)

I want a little bit
I want a piece of it
I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down

don't like the look of it
don't like the taste of it
don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down

all the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts

I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down

maybe afraid of it let's discredit
it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
don't you feel a whole lot better?

and all the pigs are all lined up

"Closer To God"

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

I broke apart my insides
I've got no soul to sell
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away

I wanna fuck you
I wanna taste you
I wanna feel you
I wanna be you

Just like an animal [x4]

You can have my isolation; you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith; you can have my everything

You tear down all my reasons
You see it through all I hide
You make me perfect
Help me get inside

I wanna fuck you
I wanna taste you
I wanna feel you
I wanna be you
[X2]

"Get Down, Make Love"

Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love -
You take my body -
I give you heat
You say your hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind
You blow my head
Make love -
Inside your bed - everybody get down make love,
Get down make love -
Get down make love
Get down make love -

Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say its enough
In fact its too much.
Everytime I get a - Get down, get down,
Make love -

I can squeeze - You can shake me
I can feel - when you break me
Come on so heavy - when you take me -
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love
You can make everybody get down make love,
Get down make love

Everytime I get high
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get hot
You say you wanna come down
You say its enough
In fact its too much
Everytime I wanna, get down, get down get down -
Get down make love

Get down make love

"Memorabilia"

wherever I go
I take a little piece of you
I collect
I reject
photographs I took of you

well times I passed through
so many faces
so many places
I have got to have a memory
I have never been there
I have never had you

I can't remember
give me your reminder
I collect
I reject

memorabilia
(now girl... only it's flavor... bow down here)

keychains and snowstorms
the taste of your sweat
the look in your eye
I have been inside you
I know what it feels like
(wet as it is... the whiter the honey)
I collect
I reject

memorabilia
(goodies come in here all day)

give me your reminder
I can't remember
I collect
I reject

"Non-Entity"

The sky is not the same shade of blue
Every single thing
I believe isn't true
Missing in a maze of monochrome
How did I get here
How can I go home?

The echos in my eyes
Of all they used to see
Burning down the world
The ashes and debris
And all that's left of me
Non-entity

Try to stand in line
Try to obey
The ghosts of what I was keep getting in the way
Staring at the sun
Blinded by the light
Now I'm afraid I'm fading out of sight

The echos in my eyes
Of all they used to see
Burning down the world
Ashes and debris
And all that's left of you
And all that's left of me
All have washed away
Non-entity

"Deep"

Blank stare
Disrepair
There's a big black hole
Gonna eat me up someday
Someday fades away
Like a memory
Or a place that you'd rather be
Some place lost in space
Itch in my head, that's telling me somewhere
Somewhere out there anywhere
I don't care
Get me out of here

If I could feel
All the pins and the pricks
If you were real
I could take what's apart
And put it back together

This will come true
Help me get through
Into you
Deep [x8]

All I can do
driving me through
Into you
Deep [x8]

One track
Get you on your back
Your skin speaks up,
but your lips couldn't say it
Right now
You know somehow
We could take a chance
We could make it (make it)
Right here
Make it all disappear
Everything we've been missing (missing)
You make me feel
There's a part of me, that I want to get back again

Make this come true
Help me get through
Into you
Deep [x8]

All I can do
Pushing it through
Into you
Deep [x8]

(Into you)

(Into you)

All I can do
Driving on through
Into you
Deep [x8]

You're slipping through
I come into
Into you
Deep [x8]

We could become
Two into one
Leave this behind
Over and done
Everything new
I'm coming through
Into you

(Into you)

"Dead Souls"

Some take these dreams away.
That took me to another day.
I drew a personality.
Took a strange trip to reality.

They keep calling me.
They keep calling me.
Keep on calling me.
Keep on calling me.

The figures from the past enter.
And mocking voices ring of blood.
Imperialistic counts do flare.
Conquistadors who took their share.

They keep calling me.
Keep on calling me.
They keep calling me.
Keep on calling me.

[Whispered]
Calling me.
Calling me.
Calling me.
Calling me.

They keep calling me.
Keep on calling me.
They keep calling me.
Keep on calling me.
[x2]

"Burn"

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay

I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
Like cancer in the system
I've got a little suprise for you

Something inside of me has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there did you not realize
This thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes i think i could

Burn

I look down there where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
Saw your lives burned up around you
I can take it all away

Something inside of me has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there did you not realize
This thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes i think i could

I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I never was a part of you burn

I am the agent i never was a part of you burn
I am corruption i never was a part of you burn
I am the angel i never was a part of you burn
Of your destruction i never was a part of you burn

I am subversion i never was a part of you burn
Secret desire i never was a part of you burn
I am your future i never was a part of you burn
Swallow down all that fire

"Not So Pretty Now"

You like to open it up real wide
Then you let everyone come inside
There's always something you've got to hide
So you lied and you lied and you lied
Make sure you grab everything that you need
You got a hole that you've got to feed
Keep trying to fill it all up with your greed
But it bleeds and it bleeds and it bleeds

Well go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now

Nobody burns quite as bright
Well goddamn, maybe you're right
There's always battles left for you to fight
And you might, you might, you just might
But there is something I've got to say
There is a price you're gonna pay
Try as hard as you can to stay
You're just fading and fading and fading the fuck away

Well go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now

Well go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Better turn the lights down low
The cracks begin to show
We all love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Well soon you will be gone
And we will all move on
You never mattered anyhow
And you're not so pretty now

"The Perfect Drug"

I got my head but my head is unraveling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
I got my heart but my heart's no good
you're the only one that's understood

I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more I give to you the more I die

and I want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug

you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
I see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart

my blood just wants to say hello to you
my fear is warm to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little bit is left of me

take me with you
without you everything just falls apart
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

"Throw This Away"

I want you to take me
I want you to take me
I want you to break me
and I want you throw me away

"Right Where It Belongs"

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

"The Line Begins To Blur"

There are things that I said I would never do
There are fears that I cannot believe have come true
For my soul is too sick and too little and too late
And my self I have grown to weary to hate

The more I stay in here
The more it's not so clear
The more I stay in here
The more I disappear
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur

Is there somebody on top of me?
I don't know I don't know
Isn't anybody stopping me?
I don't know I don't know
Well I'm trying to hold my breath
I don't know I don't know
Just how far down can I go?
I don't know I don't know I don't know

As I lie here and stare
The fabric starts to tear
It's far beyond repair
And I don't really care
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur

"Beside You In Time"

I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it's you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through

[Chorus:]
And on (And on)
This goes on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
This goes on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on (And on)
And on

Now that I've decided not to stay
I can feel me start to fade away
Everything is back where it belongs
I will be beside you before long

[Chorus]

[x2]
Oooh we will never die
Oooh Beside you in time
