I'm a million different things. Not a one you know. Hey! And our mommies are lost now. Hey! Daddy's someone else! Hey!

• 9. ~ I DON'T LIKE THE DRUGS (but the drugs like me) --- Norm life baby! We're white and oh so hetero and our sex is missionary! Norm life baby! We're quitters and we're sober. Our confessions will be televised. You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall. Raised to be stupid. Taught to be nothing at all. I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me. I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs. Norm life baby! Our God is is white and unforgiving. We're piss tested and we're praying. Norm life, baby! I'm just a sample of a soul made to look just like a human being. Norm life, baby! We're rehabbed and we're ready for our 15 minutes of shame. Norm life, baby. We're talkshown and we're pointing just like Christians at a suicide. You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall. Raised to be stupid. Taught to be nothing at all.

• 10. ~ NEW MODEL No. 15 ~ I'm as fake as a wedding cake and I'm vague and I know that I'm homopolitan. Pitifully predictable. Correctly political. I'm the new, I'm the new, new model. I've got nothing inside. Better in the head and in bed at the office. I can suck it and smile! New, new model! New, new model! I can choke and diet on coke. I'm Spun and I know that I'm Stoned and Rolling. Lifelike and poseable. Hopeless and disposable. I'm the new, I'm the new, new, model. I've got nothing inside. Better in the head and in bed at the office. I can suck it and smile! New, new model! New, new model! Don't let them know how far you go or that you use your lovers. Oh look you're like a VCR, stick something in to know just who you are. New, new model!
• ~ USER FRIENDLY ~ Use me when you want to come. I've bled just to have your touch. When I'm in you I want to die. User friendly f***ing dopestar obscene. Will you die when you're high? You'd never die just for me. She says, I'm not in love, but I'm gonna' f*** you 'till somebody better comes along. Use me like I was a whore. Relationships are such a bore. Delete the ones that you've f***ed. User friendly f***ing dopestar obscent. Will you die when you're high? You'd never die just for me! She says, I'm not in love, but I'm gonna' f*** you 'till somebody better comes along.
• 12. ~ FUNDAMENTALLY LOATHESOME ~ And I want to wake up in your white, white sun. I want to wake up in your world with no pain. But I'll just suffer in a hope to die someday while you are numb all of the way. When you hate it you know you can feel. When you love it you know it's not real. No. ANd I am resigned to this wicked f***ing world. On its way to hell. The living are dead and I hope to join them too. I know what to do and I do it well... When you hate it, you know you can feel. When you love, you know it's not real. No. Shoot myself to love you. If I loved myself I'd be shooting you.

13.~ THE LAST DAY ON EARTH ~ Yesterday was a million years ago. In all my past lives I played an asshole. Now I found you, it's almost too late. And this Earth seems obliviating. We are trembling in our crutches high and dead, our skin is glass. I'm so empty here without. I crack and split my xerox hands. I know it's the last day on Earth. We'll be together while the planet dies. I know it's the last day on Earth. We'll never say goodbye. The dogs slaughter each other softly. Love burns its casualties. We are damaged provider modules. Spill the seeds at our children's feet. I'm so empty here without you. I know they want me dead. I know it's the last day on Earth. We'll be together while the planet dies. I know it's the last day on Earth. We'll never say goodbye. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

14.~ COMA WHITE ~ There's something cold and blank behind her smile. SHe standing on an overpass in her miracle mile. (coma:) "You were from a perfect world. A world that threw me away today. Today to run away" A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else. But all the drugs in this world won't save her from herself. (repeat) Her mouth was an empty cut. And she was waiting to fall. Just bleeding like a Polaroid that lost all her dolls. (Coma:) "'cause you were from a perfect world. A world that threw me away today. Today to run away." A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else. But all the drugs in this world won't save her from herself.

ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR

1. ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR:

You built me up with your wishing hell.

I didn’t have to sell you

You threw your money in the pissing well

You do just what they tell you

REPENT! That’s what I’m talking about!

I shed the skin to feed the fake

REPENT! That’s what I’m talking about!

Whose mistake am I anyway?

Cut the head off

Grows back hard

I am the hydra

Now you’ll see your star

Prick you finger it is done

The moon has now eclipsed the sun

The angel has spread his wings

The time has come for bitter things

(Chorus)

The time has come it is quite clear

Our AntiChrist is almost here…

It is done.

2. THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE:

I don’t want you and I don’t need you

Don’t bother to resist or I’ll beat you

It’s not your fault that you’re always wrong

The weak ones are there to justify the strong

The beautiful people, the beautiful people

It’s all relative to the size of your steeple

You can’t see the forest for the trees

And you can’t smell your own shit on your knees

Hey! You! What do you see?

Something beautiful, something free?

Hey! You! Are you trying to be mean?

When you live with apes, man, it’s hard to be clean

There’s no time to discriminate

Hate every mother-f***er that’s in your way

The worms will live in every host

It’s hard to pick which one they eat the most

The horrible people, the horrible people!

It’s as anatomic as the size of your steeple

Capitalism has made it this way

Old fashioned facism will take it away!

(Chorus)

3. DRIED UP, TIED UP, AND DEAD TO THE WORLD:

You cut off all your fingers

Trade them in for dollar bills

Cake on some more make-up to cover all those lines

Wake up and stop shaking ‘cause you’re just wasting time

Don’t you want some of this?

Don’t you need some of this?

You take but cannot be given

You ride but cannot be ridden

Pinch this tiny heart of mine

Wrap it up in soiled twine

You never read what you’ve written

I’ll be your lover

I’ll be forever

I’ll be tomorrow

I am anything when I’m high

Don’t you want some of this?

Don’t you need some of this?

You shove your hair down my throat

I feel your fingers in me

Tear this bitter fruit to mess

and wrap it in your soiled dress

Now you must spit out the seeds

(Chorus)

All dried up and tied up forever

All f***ed up and dead to the world

(Repeat)

4. TOURNIQUET

She’s made of hair and bone and little teeth

And things I cannot speak

She comes on like a crippled plaything

Spine is just a string

I wrapped our love in all this foil

Sliver-tight like spider eggs

I never wanted it to ever spoil

But flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me

Make your victim my head

You never ever believed in me

I am your tourniquet

Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly

Sealed up with virgin stitch

If it hurts just tell me

Preserve this innocence

I never wanted it to end this way

But flies will lay their eggs

(Chorus)

Little Horn
There's an apple in the pussy mouth
Now I am the dinner whore
There's a tumor in the TV mouth
Burn in out before it grows
Someone better get the dog to kick, jaws wired shut to
Save the dick
Out of the bottomless pit comes the little horn
"Little horn is born"
The world spreads its legs for another star
World shows its face for another scar
Dead will dance for what is left
The worms will wait with bated breath
"Your blind have now become my deaf"
So says the little horn
"Save yourself from this..."
(chorus)
Everyone will suffer now...
"You can't save yourself..."
(chorus)

Cryptorchid

Each time I made my mother cry an
Angel dies and falls from heaven
When a boy is still a worm it's hard to
Learn the number seven
But when they get you
It's the first thing that they do
Each time I look outside
My mother dies, I feel my back is changing shape
When the worm consumes the boy it's never
Considered rape
When they get to you
Prick your finger it is done...
The moon has now eclipsed the sun...
The angel has spread his wings...
The time has come for bitter things...

Deformography

When you wish upon your star
Don't let yourself fall, fall in too hard
I fell into you and I'm on my back
An insect decaying in your little trap
I squirm into you, now I'm in your gut
I fell into you, now I'm in a rut
"I lift you up like the sweetest angel, I'll
Fear you down like a whore I will bury your
God in my warm spit, you'll be deformed in
Your porn"
Rock star yeah (you're such a dirty, dirty)
Rock star yeah (dirty, dirty, dirty)
You eat up my heart and all the little parts
Your star is so sharp
It leaves me jagged holes
I make myself sick just to poison you
If I can't have you then no one will
(chorus)
You are the one I want and what I want is so
Unreal
I'm such a dirty rock star yeah
(I am the one you want and what you want
Is so unreal)

Wormboy

When will you realize your already there?
So watered down-your feeling have turned to mud
"Love everybody" is destroying the value of
All hate has got me nowhere
I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping away
Oh no, it is everything they said it was
Oh no, I am all the things they said I was
When you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell
When will you realize your already here
You'll thank us now that you have crossed over
Don't pick the scabs or they will never heal
The world shudders as the worm gets his wings
(chorus)
Then I got my wings and I never even knew it
When I was a worm, thought I wouldn't get through it

Mister Superstar

Hey mr.superstar:
"I'll do anything for you"
"I'm you're number one fan"
Hey mr.porno star, I, I, I, I want you
Hey mr.sickly star,
I want to get sick from you
Hey mr.fallen star,
Don't you know i worship you?
Hey mr.big rock star,
"I wanna grow up just like you"
I know that i can turn you on
I wish i could just turn you off
I never wanted this
Hey mr.superhate,
I just want to love you
Hey, hey, hey mr.superfuck
I wanna go down on you
Hey mr.supergod,
Will you answer my prayers?
Hey, hey, hey mr.superman,
I want to be your little girl
(chorus)
Hey, mr.superstar,
I'll kill myself for you
Hey, mr.superstar,
I'll kill you if i can't have you
Superstar, superfuck baby...

Angel With The Scabbed Wings

He is the angel with the scabbed wings
Hard-drug face, want to powder his nose
He will deflower the freshest crop
Dry up all the wombs with his rock and roll sores
Dead
Is what he is, he does what he please
The things that he has you'll never want to see
What you're never gonna be now
Sketch a little keyhole for the looking-glass people
You don't want to be him
You only want to see him
Mommy's got a scarecrow, gotta let the corn grow
Man can't always reap what he sow
"He is the maker"
(He is the taker)
"He is the savior"
(He is the raper)
(verse 2)
(chorus)
Get back you're never gonna leave him
Get back you're always gonna please him

Kinderfeld

He lives inside my mouth
And tells me what to say
When he turns the trains
On he makes it go away
The hands are cracked and dirty and
The nails are beetle wings
When he turns the trains on he
Unties all of the strings
The worm: "tell me something beautiful,
Tell me something free,
Tell me something beautiful
And I wish that I could be"
(Then I got my wings and I never knew it,
when I was a worm, thought I couldn't get through it)
Jack: (not spoken) come, come
The toys all smell like children
And scab-knees will obey
I'll have to kneel on broomsticks
Just to make it go away
[The inauguration of the worm]
(Then I got my wings and I never knew it,
when I was a worm, thought I couldn't get through it)
A voice we have not yet heard: "because today
Is black/because there is no turning back,
Because your lies have watered me/I have become the
Strongest weed" weed...
Through jack's eyes:
The taste of metal
Disintegrator
Three holes upon the leather belt
It's cut and swollen
And the age is showing
Boy: "there's no one here to save ourself"
The disintegrator: (to himself)
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear

Antichrist Superstar
You built me up with your wishing hell
I didn't have to sell you
You threw your money in the pissing well
You do just what they tell you
Repent, that's what I'm talking about!
I shed the skin to feed the fake
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
Whose mistake am I anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the hydra
Now you'll see your star
Prick your finger it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
The angel has spread his wings
The time has come for bitter things
(chorus)
The time has come it is quite clear
Our antichrist
Is almost here...
It is done

Minute Of Decay
There's not much left to love
Too tired today to hate
I feel the empty
I feel the minute of decay
I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take
You with me
I'm on my way down
The minute that it's born
It begins to die
I'd love to just give in,
I'd love to live this lie
I've been to black and back
I've whited out my name
A lack of pain, a lack of hope,
A lack of anything to say
There is no cure for what is killing me
I'm on my way down
I've looked ahead and saw a
World that's dead
I guess that I am too
(chorus)
I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take
You with me...

The Reflecting God

Your world is an ashtray
We burn and coil like cigarettes
The more you cry your ashes turn to mud
Its the nature of the leeches, the virgin's
feel cheated
You've only spent a second of your life
My world in unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true, there is a dream inside a
Dream, I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead
I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm god everyone dies
Scar/can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar/Scar can you feel my power
One shot and the world gets smaller
Let's jump upon the sharp swords
And cut away our smiles
Without the threat of death
There's no reason to live at all
My world in unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true,
There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead
(bridge)
(chorus)
"Each thing I show you is a piece of my death"
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
No salvation, no forgiveness
"This is beyond your experience"
Forgiveness...

Man That You Fear
The ants are in the sugar
The muscles atrophied
We're on the other side, the screen is us and
We're TV
Spread me open, sticking to my pointy ribs are
All your infants in abortion cribs
I was born into this
Everything turns to shit
The boy that you loved is the
Man that you fear
Pray until you're numbered, asleep from all
Your pain, your apple has been rotting
Tomorrow's turned up dead
I have it all and I have no choice but to
I'll make everyone pay and you will see
You can kill yourself now
Because you're dead
In my mind
The boy that you loved is the
Monster you fear
Feel off all those eyes and crawl into the
Dark, you've poisoned all your children
To camouflage your scars
Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
Pray your life was just a dream
(I am so tangled in my sins that I cannot
Escape)
Pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed
Someone had to go this far
I was born into this
Everything turns to shit
The boy that you loved is the
Man that you fear
Feel off all those eyes and crawl into the
Dark, you've poisoned all your children
To camouflage your scars
Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
Pray your life was just a dream
The cut that never heals
Pray now baby, pray your life was just a Dream
The world in my hands, there's no one left to
Hear you scream
There's no one left for you {Don't worry, I'll get the rest of the songs up there! Hopefully sooner than never!}
