I’m just three clicks away from Heaven This last supper will be lead. There’s a demon on my shoulder whispering to me The angel watching me is dead. I’m watching those hands on the clock they’re wrapped around the veins in my neck. The taste of metal sits still on my tongue any minute now I’ll be gone. My escapism is keeping me trapped the walls are closing in. I’ve jumped out this window a thousand times but I’m still here chasing my shadow along the floor and it’s looking thin. The taste of metal sits still on my tongue any minute now I’ll be gone.

I felt a loneliness I hadn’t felt in awhile I guess it’s time, time it is So funny so sad so disgusting You can see for yourself Everyone is so pretty, everyone is so special Everything is amazing, all the lies we tell And everyone is so happy, nobody’s ill Don’t look sad now, you can’t let people know I felt an emptiness, an old familiar friend Insignificance comes over me like a warm blanket, suffocate me in my sleep Best dream I ever had Everyone is so pretty, everyone is so special Everything is amazing, all the lies we tell And everyone is so happy, nobody’s ill Don’t look sad now, you can’t let people know

Cutter 03:32
I feel like an actor an actor out of work. Forgetting my lines is just part of my day. I sit and fantasize slashing my wrist just to watch the blood drip. I wear your hate on my back It holds me tight It burns my eyes Your words are nails into my skin into my mind. Cut me up. I’ve become everything I hate and I can’t help but love it. I can’t help anything anymore. You’ve become everything I love And I can’t help but hate it

Workhorse 02:51
Nine to nine Five to five You cut me up Just to build me back up In your own image Imagine what you could do With these pieces of me Work to live Work till death I'm not a machine, you fuck Eyes fixed on screen Losing all hope Just another Tuesday Take myself out of me Throw that shit out the window Imagine what you could do With these pieces of me Work to live Work till death I'm not a machine, you fuck

Wrap your arms around me put that bullet in my brain Tell me that you love me, and I’ll play your little game My chips are on the table, and my heart is in your hand My mind is in the gutter, I’m too drunk to stand I love you, love me I love you, love me You have me living on my knees I don’t even wear my shoes You hold me in my dreams bound in leather soaked in booze I’ve been losing all my sleep It’s too much for me to count I keep finding all my troubles in my lover’s hands I love you, love me I love you, love me

Pain in Love 03:32
Show me your love With the back of your hand How hard you hit How much I mean My dreams are prisoners In your mind My heart is just a loser Addicted to nothingness The pain in love My solace is shame I ask for more But get less I need so much Get no satisfaction Tighten these chains Too much freedom scares me Your grip tightens But you never touch me The pain in love My solace is shame

I’ve practiced all the deadly sins They say there’s seven, but I found ten It takes a lot to do so wrong But my mother said to do what I know best. Jesus can’t save me anymore I’ve been forgiven one too many times. He said that’s enough now I’m on my own I’ve tricked, cheated, and stolen Forsaken, lusted, and lied And if I could go back, I’d do it all again Because life ain’t no fun without sin Jesus can’t save me anymore I’ve been forgiven one too many times. He said that’s enough now I’m on my own.

about
