Accidents
I'm not sure what's worse
The waiting or the waiting room
"You're next sir" becomes a cruel taunt to you
Recycled air, the smell of sleep and disinfectant
Your god is a two door elevator
''Do they even cure you''
(cut me open drug me)
''Or is it just to humor us before we die''
(Repair all my defects)
''If only we could heal ourselves''
''We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines''
Let's redefine
Let's redefine
Let's redefine
Let's redefine
Let's redefine
Let's redefine
What it means to heal
''Do they even cure you''
(cut me open drug me)
''Or is it just to humor us before we die''
(Repair all my defects)
''If only we could heal ourselves''
''We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines''
Control
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it is present
Say that you're in control
Say that you are
I can't think of a time
When you looked less alive
You said, Wait until light, my dear
Just wait until light
One more day will go by
Maybe today you should try
To look past the mirror and find
Look past the mirror
That there's something inside
Something more to your life
My words won't heal you now
My words won't heal
It is you who decides
It is you who decides
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
I assure you
Believe that you are just fine
Believe that you are
You'll feel so alive
You'll feel so alive
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
That hate will not subside
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
That hate will not subside
It's you, decide
It's you, decide
So alive
So alive
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure, I assure you
This burden's not a heavy one
Not a heavy one
Not a heavy one.
It Was Fear Of Myself That Made Me Odd
Spinning arms spread crushing the tops of mountains
With my hands
As I dive into the Pacific I flood the shore lines
I exhale causing the oceans endless waves
I emerge shaking the wreckage from my hair
With my hands
(I want to breath life into the dead sea)
As this rain forest fall beneath my knees
I want to breath life into the dead sea
I will play until the sky is black, breath in all the air, exhale and choke
The land with carbon, from where I stand I can see the curvature of the
Earth and I want to make it flat, I will play until the sky is black
Side Walk When She Walks
Dressed to kill you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Now I'm afraid of open water, but I often bathe in sin
Let's be honest
You know you shouldn't bother
Cause with me it's impossible to win
Dressed to kill you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just ...
There was always warmth between us (2X)
Dressed to kill you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size (just my size) (3x)
"Hey, Its Your Funeral Mama"
The sky is blue, the grass is brown
My head is buried inside this helmet
And the ever present threat of parasites
So take my hand, let's get these motors running!
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was recently serviced)
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife
We don't fear [5x]
These machines
I got the scoop, I got the scoop
And it doesn't look so good, so good for you
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was recently serviced)
We'll cut these rows of Goodyears like a knife
Like a knife, like a knife, yeah
We'll cut this row of Goodyears like a knife
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was recently serviced)
We'll cut this row of Goodyears like a knife.
No Transitory
I'm in a constant state of getting cut
So why don't I feel anything?
This is a violation
Maybe I forgot what it was like
Before it entered me
So this is what they call
Another endless night
So tired of believing
If this is wrong or right
I think this cause is lost
I wish that I could sleep
I feel like some kind of shadow
Another slave to the week
Imagine if we lived
Under the weather
We would never be found
Never discovered
If everything goes wrong
If it's one more endless night
You know there always tomorrow
And tomorrow...
They'll know there's always tomorrow
And this knife, this knife
It is my most important appendage
So now that your whole world
Has gone up into flames
This night is still never ending
Do you think you're still safe?
Seems everything went wrong
We were discovered
But this time there's no tomorrow
And tomorrow...
And this knife, this knife.
Sharks And Danger
St. Catherines Psychiatric Help Line, this is Nancy.
[Man]
I'm sure this is all gonna sound really ridiculous and uh...
I don't exactly expect anyone to believe all this
Uh... for the last little while I've been kinda keeping correspondance with my sanity, and uhh�
I really get the feeling that I'm starting to lose interest in the letter writing process
The pieces of the letters, they just get progressively shorter and shorter until it's not even a reply
I uhh... the whole thing makes me really nervous
I just wish I could show you what a huge problem this is
As life hangs beside me
I gather all that I can
You were never one for confrontation
But now it lies all in your hands
Your hands...
[Man]
I kind of have this...
what if some real and terrible accident happened to myself
would I still have all these stupid questions right?
Like what if uhh�
what if there's a spot on my body that I can touch to keep my heart from beating?
or like what if, what if theres this uhh...
stray bullet out there that's gonna come through my window and take me out?
like what if uhh... what if theres this huge unstoppable comet that's just gonna like,
destroy the earth and all of us?
Like what... what if that's happening right now?
How can I avoid all these questions if I don't have that?
Like, who is gonna be here?
Why... who is gonna be there... in the hospital?
Who is gonna tell me that all this is bullshit... its a dream?
Just a dream
This is not a joke
And uhh... i'll never sleep
Who will be there to tell
Me how stupid I am? [4x]
Who will keep me from lashing out? (lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire (razor wire)
Who will keep me from lashing out? (lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire (razor wire)
I... (can't penetrate the crowd)
And anxiety chokes me like...
(Now it's all in your hands)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire
...Razor wire

That Girl Possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed
Who knew her legacy would destroy her future?
You had such promise before your rape
You had such promise before your rape
Born innocent but something had to give
Exploitation, erotica and horror
Even a spread in Oui magazine
And then your habit of getting caught
What a frightful night
Born innocent but something had to give
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could see past it
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could...
They can't see past it
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed.
White Devil
Hey kids, we got a new white devil
And it goes in your fucking nose
That's right, we got a new white devil
This is how the story goes
Story goes
Watch out!
Glorify, glamorize
Try to forget your sunken eyes
Your dead fad is a disaster
Your fashion is my fucking cancer
Not so fun when your nose is sore
Bloody Kleenex all over the floor
But don't worry, who gives a shit?
All your friends will think you're really hip
Your dead fad is a fucking disaster
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in, yeah [7x]
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in this year
Looks so good
Convulsing on the floor, ya sugar!
And the blood from your nose
Matches your lipstick shade
Look what you have become
White devil, white devil, white devil [3x]
White devil [8x]
Get Fighted
So make sure you love
like you've never been hurt
And when you dance, dance
like there's no one watching you
'Cause you can waste your time
[redefining the day that music died]
or you can spend your life
[guilt free and ostracized]
'Cause all the fashion
[in the world can't save you now]
It's something, I'll write it down for you
Because this shit is not about pants
And this shit is not about shirts
And this shit is definately not about hair
This shit is about having a good fucking time
Maybe music isn't dead, maybe music isn't dead
Maybe we all just forgot what it fucking sounded like
'Cause you can waste your time
[redefining the day that music died]
Or you can spend your life
[guilt free and ostracized]
'Cause all the fashion
[in the world can't save you now]
It's something, I'll write it down for you
My greatest gift to you
is a dance floor,
free from insecurity
Happiness By The Kilowatt
So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong
So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this?
