1. MESOPOTAMIA

(x2)
Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia
You fucking give me the creeps,
You fucking give me the creeps

(x2)
I've never known another city to burn

Face down in the bottom of a river,
Swimming with the dead makes me wanna shiver,
If you really wanna know,
I'd rather just drown alone

Clay fingers reaching for the ceiling
Once numb, now tingling with feeling
You'll see in the end that nothing really gets away

(x4)
And I'd give it all up,
Just to be with you

(x2)
Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia
You fucking give me the creeps,
You fucking give me the creeps

I've never known another city to burn

You took back the mud from which you're made
And threw it at me like a fucking grenade
You keep cutting my throat, then you ask me if im feeling okay

This city is just like any other,
They just keep blowing it up,
And building up another
If you you look in the hole,
You'll see it ain't going away

(x4)
Not give it all up,
Just to be with you

(x2)
Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia
You fucking give me the creeps,
You fucking give me the creeps

(x2)
I've never known another city to burn

(x16)
City to burn


2. ANIMAL

If you could burn it out,
Like a tick buried in your hide
If you could tear it out,
Like a thorn stuck in your side

Then you can bet that I,
Don't want to look at what you find
Cause I'm afraid that I,
Might wanna keep it for myself

I thought I, that I was above you
I hate that I love you
I thought I, that I was above you
I hate that I love you

If you could tell a lie,
Sharp enough to get through my skin
If you could sell a lie,
To make me wanna come back again

Then you can bet that I,
Wanna feel that dribble down my chin
Sometimes I, I think I give everything away
To let that animal in

(x2)
I thought I, that I was above you
I hate that I love you
I thought I, that I was above you
I hate that I love you

(x2)
I thought I, that I was above you
I hate that I love you
I thought I, that I was above you
I hate that I love you


3. LIE

I'm living a lie
And it's not the best thing for me
But anyone and everyone,
Is gonna hear another story

I'm building a house
Of murderous intention
To keep it all from coming down,
I gotta focus my attention

'Cause confidence is key
When violating trust
I'm making sure that I believe
I'm doing what I must

Which is attempting to kill
The little boy inside
But as hard as I try,
The child will not die

(x2)
Now I'm burning alive,
Just like you

I'm irrelevant
And I'm living down in the shit
I follow these pigs around,
But I never get used to it

'Cause they keep building, and building
Their feculent franchise
I wish I could see this filth,
Through someone else's eyes

'Cause ignorance was bliss
But now I must adjust
These animals they operate,
On jealousy and lust

I'm taking back what was lost
And I will not be denied
I'm crawling my way,
To the surface outside

(x2)
Now I'm burning alive,
Just like you

Just like you
Just like you
Just like you

(x2)
Now I'm burning alive,
Just like you

(x2)
Now I'm burning alive,
Just like you (just like you)

Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you


4. COWARD

You may find,
That my appetite gets its way
It keeps on growing and growing,
Before you know it I'm a bee swallowing prey

And it is clear,
It is clear
It's as clear as a fucking bell
The more I wear off on you,
The more I seem to wear your smell

Come on, get away and save yourself (come on)
Turn away and don't look back (come on)
Get away and save yourself (come on)
Grey skies are turning black

'Cause I will always,
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away
'Cause it's true that,
I will always,
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you,
But you're bound to pay if I adore you

You will see,
That there's a blood clot in my heart
I'm tryin' to make time to push it out,
But I can't quite seem to start

And it is sore,
It is sore
So sore that it hurts to fiend
You keep on taking little pieces of me,
I'm gonna show you how to bleed

Come on, get away and save yourself (come on)
Turn away and don't look back (come on)
Get away and save yourself (come on)
Grey skies are turning black

'Cause I will always,
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away
'Cause it's true that,
I will always,
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you,
But you're bound to pay if I adore you

I think I'll keep you,
In a place where I can see you
But I know I'll break you like before,
And I just can't do this anymore

'Cause I will always,
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away
'Cause it's true that,
I will always,
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you,
But you're bound to pay if I adore you

(x4)
I'm aching for you


5. CRUEL MELODY

If I could paint your picture
I'd paint you as the sea
I'd let your arms become the tide

If I could fall into you
I'd let you swallow me
So I could see you from inside

And it's a cruel melody
That you sing when I'm awake
Tryin' to find where the sun shines,
In a land that's turning grey

And it's a cruel memory
To look back on who we were
'Cause my past is a poison
And I'll never find a cure

If I could break a promise
I'd tell a thousand lies
To have you look at me again

But your heart is empty of me
I see it in your eyes
It wasn't meant for me to win

And it's a cruel melody
That you sing when I'm awake
Tryin' to find where the sun shines,
In a land that's turning grey

And it's a cruel memory
To look back on who we were
'Cause my past is a poison
And I'll never find a cure

Away,
Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away,
I might as well be yours

Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away

Away,
Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away,
I might as well be yours

(x2)
Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away,
I might as well be yours

Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away

x3
Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away,
I might as well be yours

Take me away,
Take me away,
Take me away

Take me away


6. THE MARK

I have a mark on me
Like a brand on my skin
That only I can see

I don't know what it means
I get caught up in dreams
I feel like running away
Yeah, so let's run away

Sometimes you're gonna have to get lost
If you're ever gonna find your way back,
To where you came from
And if we go there,
They'll just want us to bleed
Yeah, but it's never enough,
It's never enough,
It's never enough

So cut out the heart
And watch the world burn down
Let's tear it apart,
Let's leave a mark,
Let's leave a mark

And I followed the footprints,
Surrounding the snow
I ended up doing circles,
And came back home

Where I started to find,
That everything was a sign
And all that mattered was,
That this fucking fire is mine

Sometimes you're gonna have to die
If you're ever gonna find your way back,
To where your life is
If hate is a fist,
And love is a flame,
I'm gonna smash it and burn it,
'Cause it's all the same

So cut out the heart
And watch the world burn down
Let's tear it apart,
Let's leave a mark,
Let's leave a mark

It keeps bleeding and bleeding,
It's never enough
It's a lust you combust,
And it continues to swell

And I tried, yes I tried
To ignore this scar
But it keeps burning to me
And it won't let me breathe

(x2)
So cut out the heart
And watch the world burn down
Let's tear it apart,
Let's leave a mark,
Let's leave a mark


7. I HAVE A NEED

We wake, wake on the inside
I must have a need to be terrorized
So let's walk down the same path
To the hole deep in the hollow

We stand, stand on the edge again
Too afraid to turn back and jump in
There's a storm brewing like a ceiling
But I'll never spit out the feeling

This dark fever is unstoppable
This burning chill is unstoppable
This blackest wish has taken hold
I'm sorry it cannot be controlled

You're too far, far gone to be mine
Wherever I go you're never on time
It's too dark, too black to be a star
I'll go wherever you are

We slept, slept here for too long
We see, see what we did wrong
I'll never let it paralyze me again
I wanna bleed, like it's over

(x2)
This dark fever is unstoppable
This burning chill is unstoppable
This blackest wish has taken hold
I'm sorry it cannot be controlled

(x2)
This dark fever is unstoppable
This burning chill is unstoppable
This blackest wish has taken hold
I'm sorry it cannot be controlled

(x3)
Cannot be controlled

It cannot be controlled
It cannot be controlled
No, no, no
It cannot be controlled


8. 4 WALLS

Go for the jugular,
Cut the vein
And kiss it away,
Kiss it away,
Kiss it away
Everything that brings me pain

It's not as hard to bend, in the end
Let's do it again,
Do it again,
Do it again
And this feels so new
To be infecting you

These four walls,
Are blistering
I watch the paint peel,
But I can not wake from this dream
'Cause this is not love,
This is not clean
I keep digging down deeper in you,
Until I find what makes you scream

I get a little aroused, as it dies
That look in your eyes,
Look in you eyes,
Look in you eyes
As I begin to get under your skin

And now i know,
Why I do take it out on you,
Take it out on you
'Cause you always take it on the chin,
That's what you get for letting me in

(x2)
These four walls,
Are blistering
I watch the paint peel,
But I can not wake from this dream
'Cause this is not love,
This is not clean
I keep digging down deeper in you,
Until I find what makes you scream

These four walls,
Are blistering
I watch the paint peel,
But I can not wake from this dream
'Cause this is not love,
This is not clean
These four walls,
Are blistering


9. STOP A BULLET

I've got something to say
I've acquired a taste for watching you in pain
It's pretty hard to admit,
It makes me feel like shit
But I mean it

And I know that I'm wrong
The weaker you get,
The more I feel strong
So I want you to leave
Wipe your face on your sleeve,
And be it

This doesn't end with you
I walk around and I think if people only knew
That I wish they were cursed,
That I wish them the worst
I really wish them the worst

But I'm doing my best
And I hope you forgive me,
Now that I've confessed
'Cause I'm tryin' to resist,
My heart becoming a fist
Forever

Because you can't, you can't,
You can't stop a bullet
I'm giving you my trigger,
But you better never pull it
You can't, you can't,
You can't stop a bullet
I'm giving you my trigger,
But you better never pull it

You've got something to say
You've acquired a taste for watching me in pain
It's pretty hard to admit,
It makes you feel like shit
But you mean it

What the hell can we do
I'm a different face of the man you know
I'm a hole you'll fill,
For the rest of your life

Because you can't, you can't,
You can't stop a bullet
I'm giving you my trigger,
But you better never pull it
You can't, you can't,
You can't stop a bullet
I'm giving you my trigger,
But you better never pull it

(x4)
You can't, you can't,
You can't stop a bullet
I'm giving you my trigger,
But you better never pull it


10. ONE OF YOURS

Suck on myself,
Into believing that I'm doing the right thing
I think of your face,
And I pretend that I'm not alone

I'm lining up,
All the love, and the trust and the good things
But there's a hole in my heart,
Where I once kept a piece of home

What if one of yours turned a color
You didn't mean for it to be
And what if one of yours became another
Would you hear it say

Let me go
This isn't what I wanted
I can't be here anymore
Let me go
This isn't what I needed
I can't exist here anymore

I've been thinking about my money
And now I gave it all away
I've been thinking about the people
And now I shouldn't never let them stay

I've been thinking about how I always,
Had to write just one more song
Well you know me, and that I'll never change
But I meant it well all along, and I was wrong

What if one of yours turned a color
You didn't mean for it to be
And what if one of yours became another
Would you hear it say

Let me go
This isn't what I wanted
I can't be here anymore
Let me go
This isn't what I needed
I can't exist here anymore

Replace the silence with deafening sound
Send away the people,
I want no one around

This is my greatest mistake,
I hope you realize
I die every time I look in your eyes

What if one of yours turned a color
You didn't mean for it to be
And what if one of yours became another
Would you hear it say

Let me go
This isn't what I wanted
I can't be here anymore
Let me go
This isn't what I needed
I can't exist here anymore


11. NEW HUNGER

Holding on your lazy arms
Get up, out of bed
There's vanity,
In the holes from which we bled

Your armies have come and gone
Silence on the battleground
This insurgence,
Was just enough to see them drown

(x4)
You wanna swim with us,
You gotta get to the water

You wanna swim

Take me to your mountain
Tear down the waterfall
It's coming near,
Listen, you can hear it call

So put a coin inside your mouth,
And wait out to your knees
You crumble down,
And give yourself to the sea

(x4)
You wanna swim with us,
You gotta get to the water

You wanna swim

(x4)
You wanna swim with us,
You gotta get to the water

You wanna swim

You wanna swim

(x6)
You wanna swim with us,
You gotta get to the water


12. I AM WHERE IT TAKES ME

It's all I see,
It's all I see
Please take it away

It's holding me,
It's holding me
Please take it away

It's more than me,
It's more than me
Please take it away

It's killing me,
It's killing me
Please take it away

I run, it follows
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me
I love, it breaks me

It's under me,
It's under me
Please take it away

It's watching me,
It's watching me
Please take it away

It's touching me,
It's touching me
Please take it away

It's just like me,
It's just like me
Please take it away

I run, it follows
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me
I love, it breaks me

I run (I run), it follows (it follows)
I speak (I speak), it swallows (it swallows)
I am where it takes me
I love (I love), it breaks me


13. IODINE SKY

(Instrumental)
