When One Eight Becomes Two Zeros

I'm glad that you're near

and I'm sad that you're here.

This is what it's like to be me.

I'm glad that you're here

and I'm sad that you're near.

This is what it's like to die alone.

This all hurts me so much,

that I honestly believe

you're the one this is hard for.

I've bartered tact for wit

and I've already made up

a billion stories about you.

Knee deep in static

I hear you breaking up,

I'm breaking up,

I guess we're breaking up.

You're not the other woman,

you're just another

Another hobby for

a guy like me.

You've given me a heart like a gun

and I'm shocked that I've made it

through these billion days.

I didn't think I could tough it out all those days,

a billion.

So we're growing?

I'm sure.

"There's no other I can turn to,

there's no other I can turn to,

if not you, heart,

who else can I believe?"

I hope you enjoyed dying alone.

Ry Ry's Song

There's a woman sitting in a motel room

counting minutes and seconds

adding to her list of "one hour loves."

She's tired but the new will do,

she'll replace the body,

his friends are good for bang-bang!

An amiable hobby.

He's got a secret.

Just keep it and sleep with it.

He can't believe a thing you've said.

"We're going nowhere" ...

"fair is fair."

The way you play with lives

is such a big disguise

we swear that we're not gonna' take it.

The way you play with lives

is such a big disguise we swear,

we're not running naked.

There's a man sitting in a motel

waiting for a hooker that he never applied for

... or is it even her?

and he can't believe

a damn thing you said

"We're going nowhere" ...

"fair is fair."

Just when it's perfect

It's finite, he called it.

He said he's sober,

it's over.

So long.

The way you play with lives

is such a big disguise

we swear that we're not gonna' take it.

The way you fucked his life

is such a big disguise we swear,

we're not running naked.

He would stay forever

just to say he saw you leave

and maybe things wouldn't be this way.

He would would stay forever

just to say he saw you on your knees.

I burn the lamp.

I burn when

I do, I do

everything I do for you

But I hate you, hate you

and I guess its nothing new for you.

Motel of the White Locust

Welcome to Hollywood whore.

Wake up in Hollywood whore.

My dance has passed.

Combine the throb within the head

with the rhythm of my fucking feet.

Say a novena for all those lost

and read the bloodstains on the sheets.

I've whored myself for less than this

and I've prayed to appear to fed.

As I knelt on my pillow God,

I clenched my fists and banged my head.

Who could ever

Who the fuck could ever

take the place of me?

How I kiss up to God my fists

and I pray to keep my head

though I like your pretty eyes better blackened

and my fists all fucking red.

Through sickness and health

I've kissed up to God two years.

I have focused

on the cameos made by the tiger

in the valley of the fucking locust.

Wipe it off you mouth.

Get up off your knees

and make me your god.

It's sexual debauchery.

You cost what you're worth.

Followed by a boy like this.

Re-ignited by all your visits.

As long as your mouth is shut

You'll still be fucking beautiful.
