Lyrics

1. BLOOD ON MY HANDS

You felt the coldness in my eyes
And something I'm not revealing
Though you got used to my disguise
You can't shake this awful feeling

It's the me that I let you know
And I'll never show, I have my reasons
I hate to say that I told you so, but I told you so

There's blood on my hands like the blood in you
Somethings can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you

Straight from your eyes it's barely me
Beautifully so disfigured
This other side that you can't see
Just praying you won't remember

Feel the pain that I never show
And I hope you know it's never healing
I hate to say that I told you so, but I told you so

There's blood on my hands like the blood in you
Somethings can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you

Straight from your eyes it's barely me
Beautifully so disfigured
(There's blood)
This other side that you can't see
Just praying you won't remember
(There's blood)

There's blood
There's blood
Blood, blood

There's blood on my hands like the blood in you
Somethings can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you

There's blood on my hands like the blood in you
(There's blood)
Somethings can't be treated
(There's blood)
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
(There's blood)

There's blood


2. EMPTY WITH YOU

I haven't lost anything except my mind.
Expect a thousand confessions that you will not find.
I try to take off my head sometimes because I can't escape the memories.
I haven't lost anything except my mind.

You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or You can be hollow
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you

I haven't wasted anything except my time.
Forget the treasures we burned because we'll be just fine.
I try to take off my head sometimes because I can't escape for the life of me.
I haven't lost anything except my mind.

You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or You can be hollow
and I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you

Instead of going underground.
Instead of calling them out.
Instead of running, 'cause you're still creeping.
Instead of swallowing lies.
Instead of buried alive.
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding.

If you need a confession, I'm guilty.
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding.
Do you think I feel sorry? Forgive me.
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding.

Instead of going underground, instead of calling them out,
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop screaming.

You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or You can be hollow
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you


3. BORN TO QUIT

Exercise the demon that is living up inside you
After all you think you've been through, just what have you been through
Try to get beside yourself this tearing at your insides
If you end up on the wrong side, always standing so strong

Sharpen up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
Go on, go ahead and prove me wrong

[chorus]The further you go
The less you know
You're born to quit, you've blown it (you've blown it)
You need to let go, of letting go
You're full of shit, you're born to quit

Something supernatural it seems it could possess you
No melevalance about you yeah that might not be true (might not be true)
How they kept you demanized the fucked up situation,
How you've killed off all the angels taking notice of you

Sharpen up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
GO on, go ahead and prove me wrong

Chorus X1

You've blown it
You're born to qui

Sharpe up your teeth your dreams are more than worth defending
In a, fight that's never ending
GO on, go ahead and prove me wrong

Chorus X1

You've blown it!
You're born to quit!
You've blown it!
(you've blown it, you've blown it!!!)


4. KISSING YOU GOODBYE

Cut yourself in conversation.
Cut a line to make me feel alive.
'Cause you know I'm not alive.
And leave me with your complications.
Take your life, you feel like taking mine.
And meeting God, we stand in line.

Not alone

Nowhere to go.
I'm not leaving. I'm not going.
I'm not kissing you goodbye.
On my own.
I'm nothing, just bleeding.
I'm not kissing you goodbye.

Trust to take the right to leave me.
Waiting under dark clouds for the rain.
Praying lightning strikes a change.
As history gets lost,
And as I took that final breathe I felt alive.
Meeting God to stand in line.

All alone

Nowhere to go.
I'm not leaving. I'm not going.
I'm not kissing you goodbye.
On my own.
I'm nothing, just bleeding.
I'm not kissing you goodbye.

Don't let me go.
Don't say goodbye.
'Cause you know that I'm not alive.
Don't let me go.
Don't say goodbye.
Don't let this love die.


5. SOLD MY SOUL

I think of the one that I've become
Left blind from the brightness of your halo
No one shines like you do
My filthy mouth and broken words
This small disease that leaves me crawling
Crawling to you
Crawl on the ground for comfort
Stay close to the dark to keep from falling
From falling

Sold my life to bring the rain
Maybe to wash me clean
Sold my soul to stop the pain
Hoping you'd set me free
Are you feared? Are you safe?
You know that you can lay it all on me
You can lay it all on me

I took every chance to latch my tongue
You wore the scabs just like an angel
There's something about you
Horrible things that I have done
Seems this disease is slowly spreading
Start running, what would you do?
I crawl on the ground for comfort
Staying out of my mind to keep from dying
From dying

Sold my life to bring the rain
Maybe to wash me clean
Sold my soul to stop the pain
Hoping you'd set me free
Are you feared? Are you safe?
You know that you can lay it all on me
You know that you can lay it all on me

Could you forget then what I say
And how I died inside my head
We're starting over, not pretending that the past is dead
All the pain you feel you own
And the times I've seen it known
Don't keep it inside
Let it out and lay it all on me

Sold my life to bring the rain
Maybe to wash me clean
Sold my soul to stop the pain
Hoping you'd set me free
Are you feared? Are you safe?
You know that you can lay it all on me
You can lay it all on me


6. WATERED DOWN

In my eyes
Course and jaded
It's no surprise
The lights have faded
I always walk away
You'll always hear me say
I don't need this
I've been given such a gift
Same to take advantage of it
Watch it, wasting leaves you wanting more
Be careful what you're wishing for

Nothing that I can hold on to
With my broken hands
Not thinking that I should anyway
So I leave holding nothing
Don't care what you say
Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away
Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away

Now my days are feeling numbered
This sad cliché I'm hiding under
This spider web of dreams
I'm stuck here as it seems to be breaking
Shining brighter than you burn
Something that I would never learn
I could never lay this curse on you
Cursing the days where there's

Nothing that I can hold on to
With my broken hands
Not thinking that I should anyway
So I leave holding nothing
Don't care what you say
Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away
Cause it makes no difference
Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away
It makes no difference
It makes no difference if I throw it away
Makes no difference if I throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away

It all just ends up tasting watered down (Instead of being so complicated)
And everyone has found an easy way out, an easy way out
It all just ends up tasting watered down (Instead of being so complicated)
And everyone has found an easy way out, an easy way out

Nothing that I can hold on to
With my broken hands
Not thinking that I should anyway
So I leave holding nothing
Don't care what you say
Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away
Cause it makes no difference
Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away
It makes no difference
It makes no difference if I throw it away
Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away

Get outta town by Sunday
I say if they don't get outta town
We kill the men
We kill the women
We kill the children
We kill the babies
We kill the blind
We kill the crippled
We kill the crazy


7. ON THE CROSS

[Spoken:]
We kill the faggots, we kill the lesbians,
I said goddammit we kill them all!

We were taught to kneel and bow our heads.
I tried simply standing up instead.
Heard rumors of transparent legs
And walks for days and days.

These days we reach for so much more
We reached the point where we can't go home.
Alone we wait here underground
Amidst the others waiting

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe.
But all I can is we go our own way.
We go our own way.
So save us.

Who would guess you were the chosen one?
The right place, you were the firstborn son.
Once questioned stable state of mind
To spend some time in the gutter.

A full collapse and caving in
Just wait for faith to kick in
I lost track of time as i stood in line
Amidst the other believers.

So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way

So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way
We go are own way
So save us

Over and over and I still can not believe
We can't save ourselves
Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed.
Now ask for help

Having faith in something you can't see
Takes something else
Over and over and i still can not believe
We can save ourselves

So pray that if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way

So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
All I can say is we go are own way
Send your prayers our way
To save us

[Spoken:]
Kill 'em again cuz they didn't die hard enough


8. COME UNDONE

Opened up my failure
When you refused to go insane.
I felt you get excited
When I whispered all the things you love to hate.

Like you're the one who kills.
Could kill me with a drug, your weapon.
Let's pretend there's
Nothing wrong with my direction.

Hate me,
I'll be your, your loaded gun.
Burn me
Waiting to come undone.

I'll set it up inside you,
To watch you burn.
Hate me,
I'll be the, I'll be the end that you deserve.

Open lacerations,
A slower cut to feel your pain.
Heat the blood to boiling
As it passes from your lips into your brain.

'Cause you're the one who kills.
Could kill me with a drug, your weapon.
Let's pretend that
I'm not dead, it's in your head.

Hate me,
I'll be your, your loaded gun.
Burn me
Waiting to come undone.

I'll set it up inside you,
To watch you burn.
Hate me,
I'll be the, I'll be the end that you deserve.
I'll be the end that you deserve.

I can turn you on like fire.
Set fire deep inside you.
Eat you alive and watch you
Come and let me up the sonisphere!

I'll be your
I'll be your
I'll be your
I'll be the end that you deserve.
I'll be the end that you deserve.

Hate me,
I'll be your, your loaded gun.
Burn me
Waiting to come undone

I'll set it up inside you,
To watch you burn.
Hate me,
I'll be the, I'll be the end that you deserve.
I'll be the end that you deserve.


9. MEANT TO DIE

Past midnight, breathing in the dark.
Same strange friend comes to visit
Never intend to open the door.

You take it to places that no one's ever been
You let it, you let it. Your insides caving in.
You pushed and pulled, still wanting some more.

This time I've gone all the way without you.
There's nothing more i can say.

So maybe I took a little too much.
Maybe life didn't want this part of me.
It it helps to know, I never let you go.
Sure, I lost my mind.
But I never really meant to die.

Last heartbeat's fading in the night,
Only expected darkness.
Surprised to wake and follow the light.

The second you let it become a part of you,
You'll never forget it, no matter what you do.
You lost it all, still wanting some more.

This time I've gone all the way without you.
There's nothing more i can say.

So maybe I took a little too much.
Maybe life didn't want this part of me.
It it helps to know, I never let you go.
I'm sorry that I lost my mind

So baby, I took a little too much.
Maybe you sucked the life right out of me.
I should have let you know I never meant to go.
Sure I lost my mind, but I never really meant to die.

Never stay forever.
Never stay forever.
Come on.

Never stay forever.
Never stay forever.
Come on.

So maybe I took a little too much.
Maybe life didn't want this part of me.
It it helps to know, I never let you go.
I'm sorry that I lost my mind

So baby, I took a little too much.
Maybe you sucked the life right out of me.
I should have let you know I never meant to go.
Sure I lost my mind, but I never really meant to die.


10. THE BEST OF ME

I could forget your name
I could forget your face forever
I could forget about the smile you always faked
The one you thought I thought would never
I could forget your lies
I could forget the height for always
I could forget how desperately you tried
Flattery would get you nowhere
I could forget how you would try to get the best of me
You'll never forget that you never got me!

[Course:]
You never got me!
Real nice to know that you care
To leave me soaking wet
I'm so surprised you were dead
You make me wanna forget (make me wanna forget)

I could forget your pride
I could forget your wondering eyes
I could forget about the way you made me feel
You talk (?) to me o condescending
I could forget how you would try to get the best of me
You'll never forget that you never got me!

[Course:]
You never got me!
Real nice to know that you care
To leave me soaking wet
I'm so surprised you were dead
You make me wanna forget

Real nice to know that you care
To leave me soaking wet
I'm so surprised you were dead
You make me wanna forget

(Never got me!)

Real nice to know that you care
To leave me soaking wet
I'm so surprised you were dead
You make me wanna forget

Real nice to know that you care
To leave me soaking wet
I'm so surprised you were dead
You make me wanna forget

(You make me, you make me)
You make me wanna forget.
(You make me, GET!)


11. MEN ARE ALL THE SAME

Always safe to know
What is good for taking
Blood stains from your clothes.
Fight fire.

Like I said before,
When I bite your tongue
Out of your mouth, you'll know.
You'll know..

Just what am I supposed to say?
And tell you why I turned out this way?
Don't make me. Don't make me.

If you love it, then let it go.
And how I died, you'll never know.
Just don't blame me. Don't hate me.

She'll never make it alone.
(It's easier to go)
You've always been on your own
(It's easier to go)

Nothing safe feels real.
Waiting here to die.
Just hoping I reveal,
There's something...

Picking up my brains.
You can tell your mom that
Men are all the same.
The same...

Just what am I supposed to say?
And tell you why I turned out this way?
Don't make me. Don't make me.

If you love it, then let it go.
And how I died, you'll never know.
Just don't blame me. Don't hate me.

She'll never make it alone.
(It's easier to go)
You've always been on your own
(It's easier to go)

You'll have to pay to watch me die.
Then I'll love you more.
You'll never make it alive.
It's easier to go. It's easier to go

[Clapping]
[Inaudible Talking]

No where to go
I'm not leaving, not going
I'm not kissing you goodbye
On my own
I'm nothing, Just bleeding
I'm not kissing you goodbye

She'll never make it alone.
No where to go, I'm not leaving,
You've always been on your own,
Not going, I'm not kissing you goodbye.

She'll never make it alone.
On my own, I'm nothing,
You've always been on your own,
Just bleeding,
I'm not kissing you goodbye.

She'll never make it alone.
No where to go, I'm not leaving,
You've always been on your own,
Not going, I'm not kissing you goodbye.

She'll never make it alone.
On my own, I'm nothing,
You've always been on your own,
Just bleeding,
I'm not kissing you goodbye.
