1. Nightmares Win 6-0:

This nightmare ends.
As the cocoon fills with oil.
Fossils become waste upon cemented wings.
On the rocks father spills memories of mothers eyes.
A kiss turns to brandy.
A dagger learns to cut hair.
Lipstick stains her addiction...
As the crescent moon turns clouds into frowns.
Watch the sea swallow and forget...
Given up ambition for eight legs...
Venom engulfs the most precious fairy tales.
Goldilocks forgets the bite for prince charming...
Each window breathes smoke, and pavement paces while cigarettes burn.
A tribal affair rises the masses from the broken hearts left at her door
At her door, at her door, at her door


2. Love To Hate, Hate To Me:

Read the tale of my desire
I'll never walk away
A book of hate, yeah
I'll never exhale
1000 volts for,
I'll never walk away
every smile you gave me
Never exhale
as your eyes close
I'll bring before, the sight of true unhappiness
whisper i care then gracious enough
I let you go
Remember me for times i've ruined you
(not the times i made you smile)

[Chorus]
Take this blade to my wrist
Help me end what makes you ugly
Swimming in the pools of my mind
You come to me at night
Leave me black and save yourself

I'll never walk away
A book of hate, yeah
I'll never exhale
1000 volts for
I'll never walk away
every smile you gave me
Never exhale
As the story prolongs
with each word
my stomach starts to turn
I have swallowed nails so I can never say your name
Now words are heard through my eyes
(through my eyes)

[Chorus]

Can you see the fire
that burns from my heart
this song is for you so perfect
I have made an attempt, to have you

[Chorus]

Light up this cigarette
Tonight I will sleep with a gun in my mouth
Good night my love
(good night my love)


3. Withered:

where did summer go?
left me to wonder when the bottle will tap out.
and the sun will arise.
i woke up yesterday with a hole in my chest...

(yet i feel no pain) numb to all feeling
(like in winters chill) to feel the warmth from this bottle is useless
(when you wake up it's gone) when you wake up it all starts again.

i learned to break yesterday.
destroy tomorrow.
i've watched each leaf fall off my tree.
i've watched the seasons change.

(yet i feel no pain) numb to all feeling
(like in winters chill) to feel the warmth from this bottle is useless
(when you wake up it's gone) when you wake up it all starts again.

(why?) it all starts again
(why step aside when you fall back in place?) it all starts again
(why? why? why?)
(Oh misery is so beautiful...)

(yet i feel no pain) numb to all feeling
(like in winters chill) to feel the warmth from this bottle is useless
(when you wake up it's gone) when you wake up it all starts again.

i need this...


4. Lipgloss And Letdown:

blind to the answers, find yourself,
walk for the moment, find the reason in yourself,
there's a reason, there's a reason for you and i,
there's a reason, there's a reason for you and i,
take this time to find a meaning,
a reason to sit back and measure the worst 6 years of my life,
waiting for your legs to close on my best friends,
last night i saw your life flash before my eyes

why did i laugh so hard baby? (you won't be back)
i never meant to hurt you (but i did)
and i'm sorry that you cried so hard darling, (you won't be back)
i'll never hurt you again

take this time to find your tongue,
a sorry excuse to stop your lies,
the best 30 seconds of my life,
my angel take your pills,
my angel i sold your ring,
and now you're speechless
and i can't stop laughing

why did i laugh so hard baby? (you won't be back and i'm still laughing)
i never meant to hurt you (but i did)
and i'm sorry that you cried so hard darling, (you won't be back)
i'll never hurt you again

why did i laugh so hard baby? (you won't be back and i'm still laughing)
i never meant to hurt you (but i did)
and i'm sorry that you cried so hard darling, (you won't be back and i'm still laughing)
i'll never hurt you again

i didn't want it this way,
i didn't want it this way,
i didn't want it this way,
i didn't want it this way,
well, i hope that you are happy where you are (you should have left me sleeping)
and i'm glad to say i put you there i put you there (you should have let me sleep...)
well, who's the one who's laughing now (now there's nothing left to say...)
i'm the one who's laughing now, yeah (...i hope you're feeling my embrace, and i can't sleep)
well, i hope that you are happy where you are (now there's nothing left to say...)
and i'm glad to say i put you there, i put you there (...i hope you're feeling my embrace, and i can't sleep)


5. A Sip Of Wine Chased With Cyanide:

Glorify her smile
Condemn his frown
[x2]

Choke on the phrases left unsaid
Silver bullets that pierce my ears
Shadows of demons melt my persona
Taken from the memory of the darkest lock

Can I walk amongst the slaves chained to hopelessness
and lynched from your smile
Can I float upon your tears sweltering the hate
for our non-existance

Send the dove
Bring her a star
Throw me a raven
Spoon out my heart

Glorify her smile
Condemn his frown

With the last ounce of dignity
I will pray
Scream out
My mistakes to the heavens

Send the dove
Bring her a star
Throw me a raven
Spoon out my..
Spoon out my heart

Can I walk amongst the slaves chained to hopelessness
and lynched from your smile
Can I float upon your tears sweltering the hate
for our non-existance

Spoon out my heart [many times]


6. We Go To Eleven:

In storybooks children grow up to become leaders.
innocence leads our young to fall victim to
(we're not your slaves) the disadvantages our parents brought before them.
grow up fast and lose sight of becoming an influence
(and I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep again)

they stole our innocence, they broke our foundation.
broken by production, released at ten.
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight.
after birth the hand that feeds may bleed.
transformers for abuse (we're not your slaves)
legos build the outcome whether its mental or physical,
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight.
(and I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep again)
mother I'll bleed for you, as father bled for me...
mother I'll bleed for you, as father bled for me...
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight.
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight.

before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight.


7. The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us All:

A star up in the sky
A Poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice

A star up in the sky
A Poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice

Let me walk on high wire of rusty nails
While barefoot shedding the flesh of our existence

I wanted to break the fall

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice

Now's the time
Now's the time

The more I try
The more I lose
But today
Will you remember me ?

But today
Will you remember me ?
But today
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Your eyes

Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes

Walking home
Street lights go out

Walking home
Street lights go out

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice


8. A Song For A Broken Heart:

Take this for what it's worth
This song, my smile
Now take this for what it's worth
This song, my smile
Smile

I write to you from hell my song, leaving the foot against the gas
And the wall that must have said your name
Weaken me, for nothing you can say can stop this now
Would a noose replace his lips?
(Would a noose replace)

Can a song replace a broken heart?
Now can a song replace broken love?
No
On the beach, I remind myself
That holding hands is so powerless
Tonight, I don't even have the stars
To hold onto
(To hold onto)

Paint
Paint this red
Paint this red
Yeah, paint this red
Paint
I'll paint this red
I'll paint this red
Paint this red

Her picture will remain unbroken, she cries tonight,
"I fall in love"
(I fall in love)
Wipe each tear away
With sandpaper
Tonight, I'm not alone

And I just wanna get your fucking voice out of my head

Can a song replace a broken heart?
Now can a song replace broken love?
No

Fall within the paint
Won't you fall within the break?
Why won't you fall?
Why won't you fall
On the paint?

On the beach, I remind myself
That holding hands is so powerless
Tonight, I don't even have the stars
To hold onto
(To hold onto)

Can a song replace broken love?
Now can a song replace a broken heart?
No
No
No
No


9. Annunciate While You Masticate:

move into the grave that bares your name.
my high is creeping, but is it set in stone?
we're both wasted, but we're not going anywhere like this.
(so we'll see right through)
for me to walk face first into sliding glass for your pleasure.
all in the taste of salt on your neck.
(now i) choke on the urge of taking it back
(till i'm) spilling the blood that rests on my tongue.
(dreaming) of holding your head, detached from the rest.
this fuse left burning, but now we're far too close.
to let the past stitch our wounds and seal our tears.
lust sick from the guilt you spread.
lust sick in this moment. we won't believe in anything


10. Charred Fields Of Snow:

Why us, this touch, the last touch, this touch won't break me...
Now I. I see you. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry.
A word too soft to be spoken.
Wrapped in barbed wire.
And traveling amongst the charred fields of snow.
I have become.. wounded.
For the souls lost in this display of self righteous ideals.
Break me for I'm the one who deserves this pain.
The innocent will find.
Innocence will find its place in heaven.
This pain will not stop.
I now dispose of you.
One by one their souls will take you over.
The pain of thousands, your time has come.
To think you have broken us down.
You have not. the innocent are free now.
And you're condemned.
