Armageddon, Motherfuckers

So hard to believe what you're looking for.
So hard to believe what you're looking for.
So hard to believe what you're looking for.
So hard to believe what you're looking for.
So hard to believe what you're looking for.




To Our Savior

So hard to believe what you're looking for

You cry again
To save yourself
But you could
Never understand their pain

It's all a game
You play yourself
But you will
Never understand the pain

I'll move on tomorrow
We can try again
And when their hope is gone
I'm waiting

I'll move on tomorrow
We can try again
You're my savior
You're my savior

You cry again
To save yourself
You feel ashamed
Never understand the pain

All you're missing
Is an honest
presentation
I hope you understand this pain

You can pretend but I'm not buying
Can pretend, but I'm not buying
Can pretend, but I'm not buying it

You're my savior
So hard to believe what you're looking for
You're my savior
So hard to believe what you're looking for
You're my savior
So hard to believe what you
Right Write




Give It Up

The silence kills the calm of the night
I force an anxious patience
Counting every beat and waiting for my turn to die

Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for the same things
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for mistakes that I've made
Don't turn away

I understand your ways
Won't give it up

It's not me you're waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for
It's time to let go, time to let it go

And when you've become
All you've lost
Wandering the streets and searching for a place to die

Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for the same things
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for mistakes that I've made
Don't turn away
I understand your ways
Won't give it up

It's not me you're waiting for
Alright
Stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for
This is where it ends
It's not me you're waiting for
It's time to let go, time to let it go
This where it ends

And if you promise to forget
I'll try to find a way to make mistakes
Make mistakes

Give it up, give it up…
(Try to find a way…)
Give it up, give it up…
(Try to find a way…)
(Fall for the same mistakes…)
Give it up, give it up…
(Try to find a way…)
(Fall for the same mistakes…)
Give it up, give it up

Give it up, give it up

Won't give it up

It's not me you're waiting for
It's not me you're waiting for

Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It's not me you're waiting for

Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for the same things
Alright, stop waiting
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for mistakes that I've made
(Alright, don't turn away)
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for the same things
(Don't turn away)
Give it up, give it up
Don't fall for mistakes that I've made

Don't turn away




Is It Me? Is It True?

Is it me, is it true
every word I utter, lies
sheds light on this conversation, it dies
the hope thats in your eyes
is it worthless, guess so

while you've been dreaming,
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation
lost translation
I need you for nothing at all....

Is it me, is it true
every word I utter, lies
sheds light on this conversation, it dies
the hope thats in your eyes
is it worthless, guess so

while you've been dreaming,
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation
lost translation
I need you for nothing at all....

sex is old, old and boring
when you're feelin nothing,
somethings gotta make you feel

sex is old, old and boring
when you're feelin nothing,
somethings gotta make you feel

we'll listen to you
but your words dont make a sound
and if nothing is true
we can build our own world

Is it me, is it true
every word I utter, lies
(you've been dreaming, I've been screaming)

Is it me, is it true
(every word I utter, lies)

Worthless, so are you




God Is Dead

Just because we're abandoned
Doesn't mean we're alone
Falling down when were empty
Because I know, yes I know

Nothing here really matters
Nothing helps when you're lost
Break me down to an atom
Because I know, yes I know

It's a whole new different world
What you've got to say

Save yourself
There's no salvation

Home is found where the heart is
Space is found in our homes
Shots ring out across the city
Because I know, yes I know

So what you've got to say
It's a whole new different world
What you've got




Whole New World

Just because we're abandoned
Doesn't mean we're alone
Falling down when we're empty
Cause I know, yes I know

Nothing here really matters
Nothing helps when you're lost
Break me down to an atom
Cause I know, yes I know

It's a whole new different world
What you've got to say
Save yourself
There's no salvation

Home is found where the heart is
Space is found in our homes
Shots ring out across the city
Cause I know, yes I know

So what you've got to say
It's a whole new different world
What you've got




Empty Like The Ocean

"Empty Like The Ocean"

Make my body motion, yeah the night is young
Open like the ocean, cold and numb
Dance until the sweat forms on your face
It won't take long to flush the poisons

I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
And I don't care

So what's wrong? I think too much
I don't want to fuck you, I don't want to touch
I just want to fill you with regret
I've said it all before, it's pointless

I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
What I'm doing here
It's so redundant

I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
We are all alone
I forget where I come from
I don't care

Dance until the sweat forms on your face




Nothing Is Ever What It Seems

Tear it back, tear it slow
Lose yourself, lose control
Listen close, there’s something you need to hear
If just this once

Everyday the same joke
I never think it’s funny
Nothing’s ever what it seems
The truth becomes a dream
And we reach for what we’re missing in ourselves

I fought away this desperation
I’ve made attempts to quell temptation
I swear to god I tried
We could never compromise
You could never change me

Cause we reach for what we’re missing in . . .
We don’t know how to let love in
Don’t you cry for me
Because I’m already dead




The Tragedy Of The Human Condition

(Instrumental)




Waiting For The News

I'm still waiting for the news dad,
That she's gone and never coming back.
I can't go on because the strength I had is gone
And I find it hard to get out of bed

Oh yeah, don't you know it's true son,
You can never know someone
Even though we sleep together we're alone
And I find it hard to get out of bed

And we operate but
I still feel alone
And I can't complain
Cause she's so beautiful
Yes we all have made mistakes

Even though we sleep together we're alone
Yes we all have made mistakes
Even though we sleep together we're alone
And I find it hard to get out of bed




Until It Kills

Drain
Tarnished blood from bones
Let those poisons
Dry up
Tonight we'll cleanse our souls
Cause judgment day comes
One day sooner this year
One day sooner safe
We were never pure again

Keep them safe from what you'll discover
Keep them safe from harm
Keep them safe inside your home
If it kills you




Hey Baby, Don't You Know That We're All Whores

Hey baby, spare me your pretension
I know you can't spread an infection

Yeah the drama never ends
The doctors say that
It's too late now
Suffocation
Suffocation
Leave it alone

Hey do we stand at revelation
JESUS FORGIVE MY CONGREGATION

Yeah the drama never ends
The doctors say that
It's too late but I'm still waiting
I love the way conquer style
I love how children lack your vision
I love the way you're smothered
Suffocation
Suffocation
Leave it alone

Yeah the drama never ends
But now it's time you learn:
Baby, We're whores
Nothing less and nothing more

I love the way you conquer style
I love how children lack your vision
I love the way you're reaching for that gun

Leave it alone




Help Me Sleep

Shut this thing off
I can't take
Anymore

The weight is gone
Still I can't
Let it go

I can't take anymore
Is this all we are
Can you help me sleep again

My body�s numb
What I touch
Turns to stone

The more I learn
The less I know
The more I'm lost

I can't take anymore
Is this all we are
Can you help me sleep again

Make me forget all
Cause I can not remember anymore
Anymore
Any




Manhattan

I can't believe anything
Every year it's the same
Chew me up
Spit me out again

Oh, I've seen it all
Winter, summer, fall
I love you with my eyes
What's your name

I can't believe how I'm living
Lost in Manhattan
I don't know where to go
There's no where left to go

I can't believe how I'm living
Lost in Manhattan




So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe

It’s what you want
It’s your amphetamine
Another night you’re settling
For comfort in your bed

The more you fill
The more you’re empty
You’re never what you should be

Here is why you’re sad:
You’re miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you to fall asleep

I’m watching you change
It doesn’t have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe

Fuck what you know
Can’t you see it’s shallow?
Every time you swallow
Do you get a taste of what you’ve become

Regrets, they wake you in the morning
You shower but you’re not clean
Please just listen

You’re miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you fall asleep

I’m watching you change
It doesn’t have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe

I still remember the days
When you didn’t feel the need to escape
And every demon you never face
Is the reason you’re not safe

Please understand that you’ve had every chance
You’ve had all the time
All the time in the world
Please understand that you’ve had every chance
You’ve had all the time
All the time in the world

You don’t listen, you don’t listen, you don’t listen…
