"Medicate"

"Medicate"



Oh!

Could I, could I just find a way?
I'd find you everyday and we could alter time.
But I've come to find everyone's gone away.
So this may be the time for the perfect crime.
Yes, this is perfect.

(This is) our medicine. (This is) our time to...

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name. Medicate.

Come day, you'll say you cannot stay.
What's more, I'll feel the same. It happens every time.
So I've come to find everyone goes away. I'm destined to remain.
You were never mine, so you were perfect.

(This is) our medicine. (This is) our time to...

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name. Medicate.

Can you describe what it's like? I feel nothing.
Can you feel this? Does it sting?

I feel nothing at all.
I feel nothing at all.
I feel nothing at all.

(Can you tell me how it feels?)
I feel nothing at all.
(Can we pretend this is real?)
I feel nothing.

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Oh!

You don't even know my name.
You don't even know my name.

Oh! Medicate.

"Midnight Sun"

"Midnight Sun"



What went down on the side of the road?
What I saw at the edge of the sea.
Only those elements time cannot wear,
and they follow.
What seeped out through the cracks in time,
what sucks out the color in me?
What awaits beyond infinity?

Beyond and to all time I stand.

What blew in with the great gale?
What weighed down the falling leaves?
What came forth from the remains?
What has always lived and gone unseen?
What has caused the night to fall?
Who speaks of eternity?
Who awakes to night eternally?

Beyond and to all time I stand.

DE PROFUNDIS CLAMAVI (Baudelaire)
O my sole love, I pray thee pity me
From out this dark gulf where my poor heart lies,
A barren world hemmed in by leaden skies
Where horror flies at night, and blasphemy.

For half the year the sickly sun is seen,
The other half thick night lies on the land,
A country bleaker than the polar strand;
No beasts, no brooks, nor any shred of green.

There never was a horror which surpassed
This icy sun's cold cruelty, and this vast
Night like primeval Chaos; would I were

Like the dumb brutes, who in a secret lair
Lie wrapt in stupid slumber for a space...
Time creeps at so burdensome a pace.

Mini trucks suck. Cross the street in your mini truck. Mini trucks suck. Stupid piece of shit. Hip-hop fuck. Mini trucks suck. Cross the street in your mini truck. Mini trucks suck. Stupid piece of shit. Hip-hop... Cruising with my new whore. I'm out of beer and I need more. Marijuana has got me high. Can only be heard when I need pot. Look at me, I said you're a prick.

"Miseria Cantare (The Beginning)"

"Miseria Cantare (The Beginning)"



Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us

Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame... Incinerate

Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame
As we all form one dark flame
As we all...

Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one, one of us

"Miss Murder"

"Miss Murder"



Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?

Whoa-oh-ohh

With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
(ohh)

Dreams of his crash won’t pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cried
He left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh

What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out without hope.
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised.
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go,
but who would ever let us put put our filthy hands upon it?

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh

"Modern Epic"

"Modern Epic"



Yeah I can see it coming.
I've seen it all before.
I've seen it once or twice
and now I hear it call to board.
This train is moving fast
but how long is it gonna last.
I guess that we'll find out
as well go in through the out door.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Is this the start?
Is this the end?
New faces ask, "what's happening?"
I bite my tongue and hold my breath
and tell them, "the same old thing."
I don't know what's going on,
but I don't wanna do it wrong.
Don't wanna contradict myself
with all the words I sing.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Let's go! Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't, don't ever let go.
Don't ever let go.
Don't ever let go.

"Morningstar"

"Morningstar"



I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent
and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me.

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

And I don't want to die tonight; Will you believe in me?
And I don't want to fall into the light.

Will you wish upon?
Will you walk upon me?
I don't want to die tonight.


Will you believe in me tonight.

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

"My Michelle"

"My Michelle"


[Originally by Guns N' Roses]

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she's underground
So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
With your life's insanity

Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Sowin' all your wild oats
In another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection call
Baby I'll return the key

[Chorus:]

Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Well, well, well you never can tell
Well, well, well my Michelle

Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone
That'll fall in love with you
But oh the time it takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then ya better...

Now you're clean
And so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your whinin'
'Cause we both know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin;
An you'll get what you deserve

[Chorus]

"Narrative Of Soul Against Soul"

"Narrative Of Soul Against Soul"


[To the wounded:]
I have seen the self image they've forced you to reduce to shattered glass,
with the only remaining value lying in its jagged edges.
But the few who warrant waking for await their recognition.
No fear of death but with fear of life, your weakness kills everyone.
So live. Angels for everyone. For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one.
Angels in everyone. What of all their promises? Can't seem to find much more than lies.
Angels in anyone. A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Before I'd lay me down to rest, I'd throw away everything to live.

"No Poetic Device"

"No Poetic Device"



I've been dreaming.
I was lucid.
I was dreaming blood was seeping from my pores.
Who'd believe that it was all my own decision?
Cracked faces and medicated smiles.
Set fire to my home before I turned and walked back in.
For every needle open my chest and insert ten pins.
I just anticipate what awaits when I awake... break.
I die in my daydreams.
The gardens have all been overgrown.
I pushed my hand through the thorns to crush the final rose.
A deadly secret only I suffer to know.
I can't eradicate what awaits when I awake... break.
I die in my day dreams.
