you seem nervous
you'll feel better once you take your clothes off
the apprehension of a strange new scene
and from being there with...me
i don't care how long you stay
it won't be anything to lose you
everything should end this way
i'm just here to use you
you'll only get hurt
when you don't know what you're after
such a pretty flower with such low self-esteem
filling the room with...worried laughte
i don't care how long you stay
it wasn't anything to choose you
everything should end this way
i'm just here to use you
since you're already here
how do you feel about inappropriate surpises?
there's not that much to fear
but it might just blow your mind
no one is really who they seem to be
your innocence might just wind up killing me
no special reason why i chose you
(such a pretty flower with such low self-esteem)
i just decided that you'd do...me...in...
now you're trembling
you'll feel better once you've pulled the trigger
just leave me here on the floor
there are people paid to clean the mess up for you
i don't care how long you stay
it won't be anything to lose you
everything should end this way
i'm just here to use you
i don't care how long you stay
it wasn't anything to choose you
everything should end this way
i'm just here to use you

Monsters

Hey lady
What are you afraid of?
Is something/chasing after you?
Your nightmares feed on you like vampires
Did you invite them inside?
Did you think that you were safe here?
The monsters can’t stop laughing
Did you bring me here to slay your memories?
Am i monster enough to take that chance?
I haven’t seen any ghosts here
Other than the ones that always try to escape you
Taking drugs to ease the pain of which we’re unaware
Your nightmares could lead us to ruin
Hey. baby
What are you ashamed of?
Are the rumors/finally catching up with you?
Did you bring me here to protect you
From all the monsters gathering outside your window?
Did you think that we’d escape here
That i would be the one you followed home?
Disorientation was mistaken for bravery
Do we now exist only in your nightmares?
I haven’t seen that many ghosts here
That weren’t just our very own reflections
Taking drugs to ease the pain
Just something to keep me aware
That you brought me here to feed me to your nightmares
(Instrumental Break)
Did you think that we were safe here?
The monsters can’t stop laughing
Did you perceive me medicated as some kind of savior?
How long until i become just another one of your monsters?
All i see round here are zombies
They’re all that’s left of all your former lovers
Taking drugs to ease the pain—
If you’re not well then you should be—
Since you’re driven to see all your nightmares come true!
I was dead or I was dying
You were there and you were trying
To finish the job that someone else started
I know, you think drugs are bad
I don’t care it was all I had
To make your night mares stay away
For a little longer
Now do you finally understand?
I was a monster...
But you were a monster too

Heaven's Place

This time I regress
To dreams past childhood
When concepts formed
with cells
They formed and multiplied
I had to rely
on other people’s kindness
I guess
they had to be humane
They sold us wars
off in the distance
They made the homeless
Out of wounded soldiers
All I needed
was a meal and shelter
But all this land would give
Were rocks
and garbage cans
A trigger pulled
inside my head
And ignited me on fire
I was taken to a cathedral
Where they stripped me
And they baptized me
They tried to cleanse me
By peeling the burnt skin
Off my head
They tried to send me
to heaven
They almost sent me
And heaven’s place
Is in your home
It’s dripping from your ceiling
You eat it and you breathe it
You sleep with it it owns you
And heaven’s place
Is in your heart
The guilt from those
Who judge you
It frightens and destroys you
It even wants your soul
I rose to be the speaker
Atop the mountain
I was to lead these people
To their promised land
They came for miles and miles
Just for me to touch them
And I finally found
What god was for…
God sells us wars
off in the distance
God makes the homeless
Out of frightened soldiers
All we needed
was a meal and shelter
But all they gave me
All they gave me was just
A fucking book of rules!
Another lever snapped
Inside my head
Igniting one more fire
I spread it all around me
At the astonished congregation
The dream was real
They burned yeah
They turned on me
and cursed me
They tried to send me
to heaven
They almost got me…
And heaven’s place
Is in your home
It’s dripping from your ceiling
You eat it and you breathe it
You sleep with it it owns you
And heaven’s place
Is in your heart
The guilt from those
Who judge you
It frightens and destroys you
Silently implores you
Invites and then ignores you
It even wants your soul

A Peaceful End

She dropped the bomb
and remained to clear out
Any survivors
As if anything were left alive
She sculpted and then shattered me
Scattered my remains
All among the ruins
She blessed then damned me
Hunted and freed me
Discarded me when she most needed me
She meant more to me
Than anything else
that ever murdered me
I was the martyr
She was the cause worth dying for
She is what is, I am what was
It’s me from us she will rend
All I yearn for now
is a quick and peaceful end
An end an end a peaceful end
A sweet, dreamy peaceful end
An end an end a peaceful end
A peaceful end,
a peaceful peaceful end
