Can’t think Can’t see Can’t run They’ve got a bead on me I’m done Can’t talk Can’t hear White hot Backed in a corner with No shot I’m fucked Six ways to Sunday now Undone I’m unguarded and Bombarded With the lights and the stereo panic Surrounded I’m thinking burn it down Burn it all down I’m thinking burn it down Burn it all down
2.
I’ve finally realized I’m done with all this I won’t keep on agonizing I can’t fix it Oh I know I Shouldn’t I made a vow but I can’t breathe I’m bound to lose it Any minute now No wondering and no crying After you’ve gone No one dear can let it die But us so move on Oh I know I Shouldn’t I made a promise But I can’t try faking this Honestly I’m out Spinning out Let’s get it over with it’s suicide Let’s get it over with I’m dying inside Oh I know I Shouldn’t I made a vow but I can’t breathe I’m gonna lose it Any minute now I’m spinning out Let’s get it over with it’s suicide Let’s get it over with I’m dying inside Baby it’s over now we’re down for the count Baby it’s over and I’m spinning out of control

Midnight returns the shadows take form Devils crawl from the void They slash and burn and bay as they swarm The shades of all they’ve destroyed Mockingly offering the chalice to their slaves Left mad in pain, woe to the mindlessly depraved Somewhere beyond the grave Primitive runes pirouette on your skin Announcing your every last sin Babbling lunacy gripping your soul Scream as you lose all control Winged demon howls echo in the night Dead on time with their queen Shrieking, a foul Valkyrie in flight At once sublime and obscene All fangs and talons as she toys with the enslaved Ritually feeding on the mindlessly depraved Somewhere beyond the grave

Twenty years give or take a few It’s all gone by so slow I can’t deny it up till now it’s been a riot It’s a little unbelievable I know you understand All the fighting makes things a little more exciting Hey it’s okay there isn’t any other option anyway You know it’s never ending Now here we are all alone Locked in a cell of our own making Right here for the taking And I’ll always be All yours inevitably Do you remember all the times we said goodbye And then woke up together Hey it’s okay we’re not winning any medals anyway You know it’s never ending Now here we are all alone Locked in a cell of our own making Right here for the taking And I’ll always be All yours inevitably Whether we’re done or just begun Either way you’re my favorite nightmare I’m gonna stay right here And I’ll always be All yours inevitably Yeah I’ll always be Resentfully be all yours inevitably
5.
I see you still run hot and cold It must all be a blur to you is it not getting old This is how it always goes Where you’ll land nobody knows All the men you’ve cut to shreds You tore right through them one by one and left them all for dead This is how it always ends When you start getting bored again Oh he’s Just another fool for you to love Just another fool there’ll never be enough Just another fool to ask how high when you say jump Just another fool to take advantage of Tell him stories and with any luck The cell phone bills and credit card receipts won’t give you up This is how it always goes Who you’ll ruin no one knows Oh he’s Just another fool for you to love Just another fool there’ll never be enough Just another fool to ask how high when you say jump Just another fool to take advantage of Oh he’s just another fool

Staring straight ahead I keep moving When I hear them calling my name I strike them dead in all their disapproving They don’t know I’m playing a game I wanna be inside I wanna be inside with you Another day I’m out there nervous and frenetic Sick of taking all the abuse Imagining them dying’s like an anesthetic But it isn’t any use I wanna be inside I wanna be inside with you And you know I’m serious When there’s no one here with us It’s like paradise at last Secret words and sacred vows So they can’t infect us now We’re never going out again Finally alone and finally united Guarded by the amulets Locked away protected from the uninvited We’ve eliminated every threat I wanna be inside I wanna be inside with you I wanna be inside of you We’re never going out again

Kill To Cure 02:49
The other night I had you dancing To the rhythm of my heart It might’ve been a little off but At least it was a start And then you went and Demolished all my work That’s why I feel a little hurt Recent events suggest you’re missing The forest for the trees Lest we forget let me remind you This was your idea You know perfectly well I’ve Got to kill to cure So you better be absolutely sure As you were While I keep systematically Breaking you down Till you’re pure And secure In the knowledge that I’ll never leave you Oh I won’t Remember when I cut off your hand to Save your precious arm You understandably weren’t happy At first until you saw It’s part of a process To isolate the cells That would’ve attacked you Until you finally fell It counters the notion That what you feel is true It counters the notion That I don’t love you

All stitched up Scars up and down Awful rough but I’m loaded and locked All fixed up Worse for the wear Sure but still I’m back and ready to rock Looks like you’ve created something That you can’t control Knock me down and pull me back up again All stitched up Back from the dead No more talking back or running away All fixed up Think maybe this time I’ll Do everything that you say Looks like you’ve created something That you can’t control Knock me down and pull me back up again All stitched up Just a copy of a copy Bounce me around like a ball All fixed up Till there’s not anything left To contradict you at all Looks like you’ve created something That you can’t control Knock me down and pull me back up again

When we wake up then we make up We don’t talk about my lies It’s bittersweet ‘cause I’m a cheat and I can’t meet Pandora’s eyes Night or day I slip away And like they say foul deeds will rise I’m discreet but I’m a cheat And I can’t meet Pandora’s eyes I don’t understand I can’t bring myself to Face her like a man I don’t know why I do What I do Pandora I’m confused I know I’d lose it If she went with other guys I mistreat her I’m a cheat And I can’t meet Pandora’s eyes I don’t understand I can’t bring myself to Face her like a man I don’t know why I do What I do Pandora I can’t speak I’m just too weak And I can’t meet her eyes Pandora’s eyes

Dead Alive 01:47
I know there’s something underneath All the artificial medicated layers of illusion And I sense that what’s inside of me Could be a terrifying homicidal warped delusion Now I’m locked down in this room Eyes wild in a trance What What Did somebody say a prayer How adorable but I’m afraid I’m way past saving God-damned and I can’t pretend to care I don’t know what I am but I’ve gone stark raving mad I’m locked down in this room Eyes wild in a trance I’m locked inside a tomb I’m terrible at night Falling bawling crawling for my rock Hating waiting for something to take me away Now now don’t go getting all upset You know it always looks worse when you’re on the outside I’m fine by tomorrow I’ll forget It’s a blessing and a curse it’s a psychotronic ride I’m locked down in this room Eyes wild in a trance I’m locked inside a tomb I’m terrible at night I’m dead alive

Lightning flashes storm clouds Roll in across the sea Blow winds crack your cheeks and bring All mankind to its knees The evil that men do now dies with them They’re cursed and left eternally condemned Gates lift high your heads tonight Arise adorned in brilliant white All your gods have faded Step into long-awaited light Gates lift high your heads tonight An otherworldly fury bursts through the ominous sky It rends the veil and shakes the earth as though the world must die The screaming of the damned recedes the glorified ascend triumphantly in radiance All we thought was real comes to an end Gates lift high your heads tonight Arise adorned in brilliant white All your gods have faded Step into long-awaited light Gates lift high your heads tonight Grow higher ancient doors tonight

Hey Diana 01:57
Diana what a drag it is being young I wanna be older and gray Feeding ducks and walking the mall could be fun It’ll be okay Hey Diana That could be us That could be you and me Hey Diana That could be us Gigantic bifocals and a cardigan my I’d really cut a figure out there Waking up at four eating dinner at five Oh we just don’t care Hey Diana That could be us That could be you and me Hey Diana That could be us Living on love Ensure and tea Oh a little lumbago and cataracts Seem a very small price Darling wouldn’t it be nice

When the graves open and the angels arrive Think you’ve got a chance then Listen more’s the pity if you’re somehow alive What you gonna do baby now One at a time Get ‘em all lined up in a row One at a time Watch as your mind hits the sky and explodes When they’re descending in a column of flame Think you’ve got a chance then Snapping to attention when they’re calling your name Nowhere left to run baby now One at a time Get ‘em all lined up in a row One at a time Watch as your mind hits the sky and explodes When they’re descending in a column of flame Think you’ve got a chance then Sweating in a panic as they’re calling your name Nowhere left to run baby now One at a time Get ‘em all lined up in a row One at a time Watch as your mind hits the sky and explodes How art thou fallen to the earth How art thou fallen brother

There’s something you should know It’s time that I admit it I’ve got to let you go And I’m not gonna give in Just tell me what you want Is this what you call living Well it ain’t good enough And I’m not gonna give in No and you’re living a fantasy oh Now why can’t you listen to me When you look up to me Tell me your secrets Then you look down with those Innocent eyes Crossing your heart and making a promise Tell me all your lies Ready to go here we go Let it go Tell me what you want This ain’t what I call living It’s just not good enough And I’m not gonna give in No ‘cause you’re living a fantasy oh Baby why won’t you just listen to me When you look up to me Tell me your secrets Then you look down with those Innocent eyes Crossing your heart and making a promise Tell me all your lies When you look up to me Tell me your secrets Then you look down with those Innocent eyes Crossing your fingers making a promise Tell me all your lies Ready to go here we go Ready to go Panic in stereo
