TIE HER DOWN
So love me gently with a chainsaw
And take the glass against your wrists
You know I am your worst nightmare
Oh how you love my bloody kiss
But it's time to die
You�re worth more dead
Tell me your fantasies
I'll make you believe
That I really care
I'll look into your eyes
I'll tell you all my lies
As I take you slow
So love me gently with a chainsaw
I'll leave you like your father did
I'll bite your lip so fucking so hard
And watch the innocence just to drip
Down your chest
And into my...mouth
So take your tears and go away
A bitter ending from a slow decay
And I'll sit here with a smile and a match
The lies she cried
The heart ache
LADY IN A BLUE DRESS
Just like a lady in a blue dress
You've got cigarettes on your breath
Hair spray and some cheap perfume
I'll put a little sour in your sweet
You've got so much fucking tongue in cheek
You want what you can never have
You Say
That you want respect
Well then you better get
Some for yourself
Cause all
That I see right now
Is someone who�s
Lost and insecure
So you say that I am rated X
You suffer from the lack of sex
Black heart and your lipstick�s smeared
Your points are trite
And I'm too sober
To deal with you running over
Your same pathetic clich lines
Don't try to be cute with me
Cause I know you hate yourself
And you'd end your stupid life now
But you�re too spineless
Just like a lady in a blue dress
You've got cigarettes on your breath
Hair spray and some cheap perfume
YOU�RE CUTE WHEN YOU SCREAM
Fuck with
My heart
I'll teach you what it's like
To be
So used
That you have to clean
The dirt
Stuck in
Your plastic finger nails
And just the scent of you is enough
To make me sick
And all I know is
Revenge is sweet when
You know that you are worthless
And I am better than
The games that you play princess
I've played and always win
I'll take
My time
To slowly plot your end
But now
I will
Spit bullets with my pen
And all I know is
You�re cute when you scream
I'll take you to the top
Of this building and just push you off
Run down the stairs so I can see
Your face as you hit the street
BURIED A LIE
Rest in peace girl
Your death is such a shame
The paper said a bullet got in your way
But I smell foul play
Possible poisoning
I had to bring you in for questioning
So I went to your grave
Dug up your body
Brought it to my house
Where you lay
So let�s play doctor, babe
We�ll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case for me
I headed downtown
To the share what I had found
It�s not suicide it�s a crime
I have a witness
It�s clearly evident
There had to be someone else
At the time of death
Poisons in stomach
How could she pull it?
If she�s dead
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We�ve got to hurry up
before the flesh decays away
I�ll catch the murderer
And send him away
I�ll get the evidence
From your last day
Your last day
BITE TO BREAK SKIN
So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot
On your heel
Each breath
Is getting slower
This war
Is getting harder
To fight by myself
Sick waves
Of bitter fashion
Rip down
The shield that I have
Tears rain from above
Do you see?
The life I lead?
So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed
The poisons dry
These bayonet scars
Never cease
To blind the light shed from the beast
And all we do is hate
Eyes shot
From constant visions
Angels
Rendered useless
Good has lost its heart
So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed
The poisons dry
For you
Bite to break skin
Don't give the secrets
My stoic face
Beaten with passion
The phoenix will die
Inside the fire storm
I am the son
Follow my foot steps
RUM IS FOR DRINKING, NOT FOR BURNING
This Captain goes down with his ship
All hands on deck stand hip to hip
I shout the order shoot to kill
I�m dressed to thrill
I�m dressed to thrill
And all my enemies
I want their eyes to see
Their Captain walk the plank
Destroy them rank by rank
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we grow emotion starts to die
We need to find a way just to keep our desire alive
Now set the sails to quarter mast
We�ll jump their ship we�ll sink �em fast
Men follow me to victory
Red as the sea
Red as the sea
And to the cannons roar
Their bodies dance ashore
A pirate�s life for me
I won�t go quietly
And to my damsel in distress
You�ve made a mess of your new dress
SLOW DANCE
If you pull too hard
Then the string will break
And if you leave the slack
Then the string won�t hold
So how can we find ourselves?
Trapped in our own private hells
Where we just scream but no one can hear
X marks the spot where the dig begins
The treasure is found within
The broken hearts that are soaked with fear
Fill the glass to the brim
And it will spill out
Keep on the sharpening the knife
And it will be so blunt
To be at one with all your life
And do without doing a thing
Don�t try too hard to understand
Or you�ll miss the, miss the point at hand
CHOKE ON THIS
Half smoked cigarettes and you�re the trash
That infests my sheets
Can't make a wife out of a whore
Don't want your skin on me
And you�re
You�re addicted to the drug of lust
Detoxing the cold sweat of shame
And I love your pain
I gave you these roses now
But I left in the thorns
I�d rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a dusty shelf
So this love�s been worn down
Like songs on a tape
This sex has lost all of its fun
Like gum loses taste
And you�re
You�re addicted to the drug of lust
Detoxing the cold sweat of shame
And I love your pain
I gave you these roses now
But I left in the thorns
I�d rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a shelf
I'm here lying in your bed babe
Remember what you said to me
�You can be my James Dean.
I�ll be your sweet queen.�
I said that you were my first
But you weren�t even close now
Like a frame in a movie
Your just one of many
Can you grant me one last wish?
Play Russian roulette as we kiss
Ill be your cheap novelty
Blow your brains out on me
NJ FALLS INTO THE ATLANTIC
And it's 4 a.m. and we will stalk again
The princess and her bitter queen
On the 4th day of July
Deep in summers eye
Naked like the truth should always be
So speak your knives
Don't follow with your foot
All this pain here
All comes from your dry lung
I won't listen
Your rhetoric is fleeting
My joints are fixed with glue
Coming straight from off the water
Sunburned face and drunken father
Crying as she�s carving in her flesh
This false art
Of palm trees and trash sheets
This burning bed
Where my ghost will now sleep
Watching romance from a far seat
Bleeding from the glass on my feet
Learning that I love the smell of flesh
An angel on his two knees
Arms stretched toward a red sea
Of violence and a sultry tongue
The scenic view of carnage
Caused by the sword in his hands
The beauty resonates in birth
It's plain to see
The wind beneath the trees
Flowing free
The summer breeze is sweet
I lay in space
Choked by my own air
I love the taste
Of your blackened lips
LET IT ENFOLD YOU
�So the lie now is my weapon�
Like a bush dried and withered in the sun
With a spark I�ll go up in flames
I�d lay my guts out but they�re too small to see
It�s kinda cute how I pretend to be
Everything but the instrument I am
Peace or happiness?
So �Let it enfold you�
A birth to life is what I�m after
My first name won�t be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eye
So it�s true my words are contrived
I tell lies just to get into your mind
I�m as fake as a widow�s smile
This mask of glass is what I choose to wear
So I won�t ever have the need to bear
The total truth to anyone but me
I'm just a bad actor stuck with a shitty script
All of my lines are cheap and the cast is weak
There was no music for the first time I got kissed
There was no femme fatale my mistress wasn�t rich
So I�ve been formatted to fit your TV screen
The film went straight to tape, I�ll bow out quietly
Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
Please save me
Please save me
Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
You can�t save me now
THE IRONY OF DYING ON YOUR BIRTHDAY
Just know
We are
A spec
In time
�So follow your bliss�
And destroy the beauty
I�ll lock myself alone in a room
Drink until the clock strikes noon
With just a pen a pill and some paper
And maybe I will write a sad song
Or another clich poem
Of the person that I long to be
I wanna die like Jim Morrison
A fucking rock star
I wanna die like god on the cover of Time
Just a blink and its gone
So baby pour some fame in my glass
So kill the forest
And destroy the beauty
�Colors blind
The eyes�
�Sounds deafen
The ear�
�Flavors numb
The taste�
�Thoughts weaken
The mind�
Ill attack someone with a switchblade
So that I can see their pain
I choose to be a serial killer
Cause the victims don�t get any fame
ANGELA BAKER AND MY OBSESSION WITH FIRE
I won't forget the day that
That I came to
And I started thinking that there�s more
Than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons
And all I ever wanted
Was someone
To knock me back to
The bliss of ignorance
Cause I feel like running head first into traffic
And so I'm here to say
That thoughts in bed with pain
I won�t forget the day that
That I found god
In a kitchen knife and on my arm
So paint the pail white floor with
With my red life
And tell me that this pain is
The pain you love
As I swallow the pills happiness
And you watch me fall like
New York in an earthquake
And so I'm here to say
That thoughts in bed with pain
I stand outside my pretty house
I light a match to start the fire
I called the cops to let em� know
It�s 22 Walthery Ave
I thought I wanted this
I�m here to say
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending
I think the truth is I�m scared
I think that I�m just scared to live
I think that the truth is
I�m everything that I hate
MARTINI KISS
There's poison in my drinking glass
Don't stop just sip it down
And in a swirling masquerade of sound
My body hits the ground
I'm beautiful when I'm asleep
Martini kisses land
On my blistered bloody scarlet lips
The bottles in my hand
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
I�ll speak in riddles so you can understand
I�ll draw in pencil so you can trace with pen
So in love with me like sand to wet feet
I�ll write both our names into the wet concrete
We�re glistening like silver spoons
Beneath the summer night
Oh can you smell the subtle hint of frost
As the flowers start to cry
The autumn winds are bringing graves
To all the emerald trees
They�re so beautiful in their dismay
The colors slowly bleed
The pawns will fade away
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
The kings at his checkmate
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
And I sit here
With a sick grin
Choking as I laugh until I die
