Turnin' On The Screw
You got a question? Please don't ask it
It puts the lotion in the basket
You say bigger's better but bigger's bigger
White boy dressed up like a figure
Drawn inside a toilet on the wall
The world is round, my square don't fit at all
They say those who can't just instruct others
And act like victims or jilted lovers
You can't lose it if you never had it
Disappear man, do some magic
You want a reason? How's about because
You ain't a has-been if you never was
I sound like this
Scared to say what is your passion
So slag it all, bitter's in fashion
Fear of failure's all you've started
The jury's in, verdict: retarded
I'm so tired and I'm wired too
I'm a mess I guess I'm turning on the screw
Sick, Sick, Sick
Young, dumb, don't see a problem
Bloodshot, stare like a hoodlum
Simple as this, I'm in love with the risk
I know what I've done, but tell me what did I miss?
So please don't save something
Waste not, save nothing
Lose the halo, don't need to resist
I lick on my lips, and I grip on your hips
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
First thing we succumb to
Shall, erase, and undo
Days are unreleased, if there's no police
Race to slip into whatever fits you
Make something, make someone
Beg on a knee, baby baby please
Pout your bottom lip while cracking the whip
You know what we want, it's candy to cum to
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
A total eclipse in the teeth of the risk
The tongue is a twist, perpetual bliss
Forever midnight
Forever midnight
Forever midnight
Forever
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick sick, sick ''(I'm gonna take)''
Don't resist ''(I don't wanna choose)''
Sick, sick, sick ''(I'm gonna take)''
Don't resist ''(I don't wanna change)''
Sick sick, sick ''(I'm gonna take)''
Don't resist ''(I don't wanna choose)''
Sick, sick, sick ''(I'm gonna take)''
Don't resist ''(I don't wanna change)''
Sick sick, sick ''(I'm gonna take)''
Don't resist ''(I don't wanna choose)''
Sick, sick, sick ''(I'm gonna take)''
Don't resist ''(I don't wanna change)''
I'm Designer
My generation's for sale, beats a steady job
How much have you got?
My generation don't trust no one
It's hard to blame, not even ourselves
The thing that's real for us is fortune and fame
All the rest seems like work
It's just like diamonds in shit
I'm high class, I'm a whore, actually both
Basically I'm a pro
We've all got our own style of baggage
Why hump it yourself?
You've made me an offer that I can refuse
Course either way I get screwed
Counter proposal, I go home and jerk off
It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
You don't own, you don't own
You don't own, you don't own
You don't own what none can buy
You don't own, you don't own
Neither do I
High and mighty you say selling out is a shame
Is that the name of your boo?
Push a silver spoon in your ass
No more holding us down
Dog, down mutt, nice mutt
You're insulted, you can't be bought or sold
Translation: offer too low
You don't know what you’re worth, it isn't much
My piano is for sale
How many times must I sell myself
Before my pieces are gone?
I'm one of a kind, I'm designer
Never again will I repeat myself
Enough is never enough
Never again will I repeat myself
It used to be the plan was screwing the man
Now it's "have sex with the man"
After he buys you ".com" for sale
At a low, low price
It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
You don't own, You don't own
You don't own me
You don't own what none can buy
You don't own, you don't own what none can buy
Neither do I
Into The Hollow
Avoir, Adieu, Goodnight
I'm too wrong to get right
But I can't wait forever
I've always been alone
A fool believes he's clever
Don't you wanna go into the hollow?
I won't go it alone
Aren't you gonna follow?
Ah
I live behind my eyes
Be sure to keep the surprise
I break what I have borrowed
That's why I always go alone into tomorrow
Don't you wanna go into the hollow?
Don't wanna go alone
Aren't you gonna follow?
Ah
Into the hollow
Into the hollow
Misfit Love
Wanna see my past in flames
Don't waste a drop baby, I ain't fussed
Where I was born, no escape
There ain't even no good bad drugs
In the city is it true
If you don't, you act like you do?
Feast of fools, I can't wait
Give 'em a taste of my misfit love
Complicate
Incarcerate
Feel my heart wake up
Ain't born to lose baby
I'm born to win
I'm so goddamn sick baby
It's a sin, it's a sin
Transforming
Is becoming
On me
(...Thrill, I need a thrill)
(A thrill, I need a thrill)
(Oh, I want a...)
Do me first, do your worst
Gimme what I want some of
One track mind, no time to waste
Sidewalk feel me strut so good
Gutter, don't you forget this face
Let 'em taste my misfit love
I'll show you all my dirty tricks
Then show 'em again, I'm so proud of 'em
It's cruel to be
Constantly
Feel my heart play dumb
Ain't born to lose baby
I'm born to win
Yeah, I'm so sick baby
It's a sin, it's a sin
Just a dead man walking through the dead of night
And if you are going anywhere tonight?
Just a dead end walking through the dead of night
And if you are going, can I get a ride?
Just a dead man walking through the dead of night
It's impossible to wait until the light
'Cause I'm already gone
If you bet on me, you've won
'Cause I'm already gone
If you bet on me, you've won
'Cause I'm already gone
If you bet on me, you've won
'Cause I'm already gone
If you bet on me, you've won
Battery Acid
Make you into dark
Straight into your heart
Sorry all you are
I don't really care
I know you are
Robots, robots
Brainwashed babies, blood from a leech
Spoken rabies
Spastic, plastic, battery acid
Yank on the leash
Dragging you backwards
Oh my, closed eyes never see it coming
There's no thing you can say
You can't wish me away
Every masochist gets a turn
Sadistic twist, you'll never learn
Battery acid
Battery acid
Battery acid in my veins
Unidentified remains
Yes button broke to automatic
Irrational dosage of furious static
Erasing what you are
You were
''(Jealous)'' To feel the way you do
''(Dementia)'' The lie you call the truth
''(Beautiful)'' Nothing except yourself, and nobody else
I got nobody else
There's no thing you can say
You can't wish me away
Every masochist gets a turn
Sadistic twist, you'll never learn
Battery acid
Battery acid
Make It Wit Chu
You wanna know if I know why?
I can't say that I do
Don't understand the evil eye
Or how one becomes two
I just can't recall what started it all
Or how to begin the end
I ain't here to break it
Just see how far it will bend
Again and again, again and again
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit chu
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it ''(again and again)''
I wanna make it wit chu
Sometimes the same is different
But mostly it's the same
These mysteries of life
That just ain't my thing
If I told you that I knew
About the sun and the moon I'd be untrue
The only thing I know for sure
Is what I wan' do
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it ''(again and again)''
I wanna make it wit chu
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it ''(again and again)''
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it ''(anytime, anywhere)''
I wanna make it wit chu, yeah
I wanna make it,
I wanna make it wit chu, ooh
I wanna make it ''(again and again)''
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it ''(anytime, anywhere)''
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it ''(again and again)''
I wanna make it wit chu
I wanna make it ''(again and again)''
3's & 7's
Lie, lie to my face
Tell me it ain't nothing
That's what I wanna hear
Take the lie to the grave
That's what an old friend told me
Look what it did for him, oh, oh
The truth hurts so bad wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss
Then I'm in Heaven now
Run, you'll never escape
You see you'd go nowhere
Soon you will appear
Broke, laid to waste
Turn into sweet nothings
Kiss you goodbye, oh, oh
The truth hurts so bad wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss
Then I'm in Heaven now
I keep going over and over again
To never ending places I've never been
No one's catching on, calling my bluff
The devil made me only we never met
What'd you do?
Say it with a smile, boy
Making us all forget
What'd you do?
Say it with a smile, boy
Making us all forget
Making us all forget
Making us all forget
Suture Up Your Future
I'm gonna suture up my future
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain
Burned and buried, all I carried
All my evil through a needle
As if pulled through the eye
What was and what will
They're all gone
Don't sweat it
Thread it to forget it
To feel like you're already gone
To the rest of
The rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture
Bury it all away, bury it all away
Try to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, I turn to face it
I'd sharpen the knife
Then used it to bone, made it dull
Tried explaining unexplained
Got caught in the plan
All this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future
Thread it to forget it
To feel like you're already gone
To the rest of
The rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends
Bury it all away
It's like there's
It's like there's
River In The Road
Fast approaching Monsters, marching in a row
Grab what slips your mind and what your memory won't hold
Run, darling run. I'll stall them if I can
You'll escape and I'll be left rotting on the vine
Ah, ah, oh, oh
Ah, ah, oh, oh
Run, darling run. I'll stall them if I can
You'll escape and I'll be left rotting on the vine
Avert the childrens eyes, forget left untold
Don't look back to see the blood river in the road
Ah, ah, oh, oh
Ah, ah, oh, oh
Get revenge with my blood
River in the road
Run, Pig, Run
When I was young we used to play the game of hide and seek
Someone go hide, I count to ten
You probably never played, instead you talk a game of sheep
A skill you almost do perfect
Run, pig, run
Here I come
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
I am no saint and make no claims to being in the right
It's just for now, I am wrong-less
You probably wondering with what to do, this has with you
I wanna play the game you missed
Run, pig, run
Here I come
There is no safe place
There is no safe place
There is no safe place to hide
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Wooh, ah
