terrible lie

terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie

hey God, i really don't know what you mean.
seems like salvation comes only in our dreams.
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
hey God, can this world really be as sad as it seems

terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie
terrible lie

don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to.
don't take it away from me.
i need someone to hold on to

hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide.
i lost my ignorance, security and pride.
i'm all alone in a world you must despise.
hey God, i believed that promises, your promises and lies

you made me throw it all away.
my morals left to decay.
how many you betray.
you've taken everything

my head is filled with disease.
my skin is begging you please.
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe.

i give you everything.
my sweet everything
hey God, i really don't know who i am.
in this world of piss

down in it

kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
sometimes i don't believe them myself

and i decided i was never coming down.
just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
it was just about too small to see. but i watched it way too long

and that dot was pulling me down.

i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

well shut up so what what does it matter now.
i was swimming in the haze now i crawl on the ground.
and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works
out "I guess the jokes on me." she said

i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

well shut up so what what does it matter now.
i was swimming in the haze now i i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.

. i used to be somebody

i used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide.
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody

i'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye.
and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why.
and what i used to think was me is just a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.

sanctified

it's still getting worse after everything i tried.
what if i found a way to wash it all aside.
what if she touches with those fingertips.
as the words spill out like fire from her lips.

if she says come inside i'll come inside for her.
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her.
i am justified.
i am purified.
i am sanctified.
inside you

heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel.
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.
i still dream of lips i never should have never kissed.
well she knows exactly what i can't resist

if she says come inside i'll come inside for her.
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her.
i am justified.
i am purified.
i am sanctified.
inside you

dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to write.
i'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't
possible now. i don't know what's going to happen, but what can i say to you? will i'm sorry make a
difference? will it ease the pain? the shame you must be feeling.
forgive me. please.

i'm just caught up in another of her spells.
she's turning me into someone else.
everyday i hope and pray this will end.
but when i can i do it all again

if she says come inside i'll come inside for her.
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her.
i am justified.
i am purified.
i am sanctified.
inside you

as surely as the blades course is run.
maybe my kingdom's finally come

something i can never have

i still recall the taste of my tears.
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore.

come on tell me.
make this all go away.
you make this all go away.
i'm down to just to thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
make this all go away.
you make this all go way.
i just want something.
i just want something i can never have

you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now.
this is slowly take me apart. grey would be the color if i had a heart.
i just want something i can never have.
in this place it seems like such a same.
though it all looks different now,
i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see.
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be.

come on tell me.
make this all go away.
you make this all go away.
i'm down to just to thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
make this all go away.
you make this all go way.

i just want something.
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have
think i know what you meant.
that night on my bed.
still picking at this scab
i wish you were dead.
you sweet and perry ellis.
just stains on my sheets.

kinda i want to

i can't shake this feeling from my head.
there's a devil sleeping in my bed.
he's watching you from across the way.
i cannot make this feeling go away

i know it's not the right thing.
and I know it's not the good think.
but kinda i want to

i'm not sure of what i should do.
when everything i'm think of is you.
all of my excuses turn to lies.
maybe God will cover up his eyes

i know it's not the right thing.
and I know it's not the good think.
but kinda i want to

maybe just for tonight.
we can pretend it's alright.
what's the price i pay.
i don't care what they say.
i want to.
i want to (i'll take my chance tonight)

sin

you give me the reason.
you give me control.
i gave you my Purity.
my Purity you stole.
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise.
am i just too stupid to realize.
stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies

it comes down to this.
your kiss.
your fist.
and your strain.
it get's under my skin.
within.
take in the extent of my sin

you give me the anger.
you give me the nerve.
carry out the sentence.
i get what i deserve.
i'm just an effigy to be defaced.
to be disgraced.
your need for me has been replaced.
and if i can't have everything well then just give me a taste.

it comes down to this.
your kiss.
your fist.
and your strain.
it get's under my skin.
within.
take in the extent of my sin

that's what i get

just when everything was making sense.
you took away all my self-confidence.
now all that i've been hearing must be true.
i guess i'm not the only boy for you.

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

how could you turn us into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you.
I told you i'd never say goodbye.
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry.

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

why does it come as a surprise.
to think that i was so naive.
maybe didn't mean so much.
but it meant everything to me.

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

the only time

i'm drunk.
and right now i'm so in love with you.
and i don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do.
lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars.
while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car.

nothing quite like the feel of something new.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up in you.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up.
maybe i'm all messed up in you.
maybe i'm all messed up.
this is the only time i really feel alive.
this is the only time i really feel alive.

i swear.
i just found everything i need.
the sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me.
well i want to drink it up and swim in it until i drown.
my moral standing is lying down.

ringfinger

well you've got me working so heard lately.
working my hands until they bleed.
if i was twice the man i could be.
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
anything you ask you know i'll do.
but this one act of consecration is what i ask of you

ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me.

you just left me nailed here.
hanging like Jesus on the cross.
i'll be dying for your sins.
and aiding to the cause.

ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me.

wrap my eyes in bandages.
confessions i see through.
i get everything i want.
when i get part of you.

ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me.

ringfinger.
promise carved in stone.
deeper than the sea.
ringfinger.
devil's flesh and bone
do something for me.
