Opiate Day!

4/28/02

I'm sweating and breathing
And staring and thinking
And sinking deeper
It's almost like I'm swimming

The sun is burning hot again
On the hunter and the fisherman
And they're trying to remember when but it
Makes them dizzy!

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream

It's the way you whisper

The sun is setting cool again
I'm the thinker and the fisherman
And I'm trying to remember when but it
Makes me dizzy!

Sweating and breathing
Staring and thinking
Sinking deeper
And it's almost like I'm swimming!

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream

It's the way you whisper
It drags me under
And takes me home!

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream

It's the way you whisper
It drags me under
Takes me home

FUCK YOU!

I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious

Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit,
Why don't you go KILL YOURSELF?!

I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm just kidding!

People tell me what to say
What to think, and what to play
I said, people tell me what to say
What to think, and what to play

Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit,
Why don't you go KILL YOURSELF?!

I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm just kidding!

Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit
WHY DON'T YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF?!

People tell me what to say
What to think and what to play
I said people tell me what to say
What to think and what to play

Just kidding
Just kidding
Just kidding

I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you better than I know myself

I know you best
Better than anyone
I know you better than I know myself

YOU ARE A PART OF ME!

You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me
YOU ARE JUST A PART OF ME!

GIVE IT UP!

You don't speak
You don't judge
You can't leave
You can't hurt me
You're just here for me to use

I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you best
Better than anyone

I know you well
You are a part of me
I know you best
Better than one might think

It's up to you
To make a sacrifice
It's time to die a little
Give it up!

A PART OF ME!

Underneath her skin and jewelry
Hidden in her words and eyes
There's a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her 
Cuz she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened...

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
Cuz she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened...

Wide awake and keeping distance from my soul
Wide awake and keeping distance from my soul...

Underneath her skin and jewelry
Hidden in her words and eyes
There's a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her 
Cuz she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened too
I am scared like you
I am frightened

Someone told me once that 
there's a right and wrong
And punishment would come 
to those who dare to cross the line but
It must not be true
For jerk-offs just like you and

Maybe it takes longer
To catch a total asshole
I'm tire of waiting

Someone told me once that 
there's a right and wrong
And punishment would come 
to those who dare to cross the line but
It must not be true
For jerk-offs just like you and

Maybe it's just bullshit
And I should play God and
SHOOT YOU MYSELF
But I'm tired of waiting

If consequences dictate
Our course of actions
It doesn't matter what's wrong
It's only wrong if you get caught

If consequenses dictate
My course of actions I should...
I should play God and just...
SHOOT YOU MYSELF
Tired of waiting

DIE! NOW!

Shoot you
Kick you
Fuck you
SHOOT YOU IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD!

Choices always were a problem for you
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Like me... Like me... Like me... Like me...

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me and don't you judge or question
You are broken now but faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up - hand upon you

My God's will becomes me
When he speaks he speaks through me
He has needs like I do
We both want to rape you

Jesus Christ why don't you come
Save my life now
Open my eyes blind me
With your light now
Jesus Christ why don't you come
Save my life now
Open my eyes blind me
With your life now

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up - hand upon you

My God's will becomes me
When he speaks he speaks through me
He has needs like I do
We both want TO RAPE YOU

Satan... Satan... Satan... Satan...

I had a friend once
He took some acid
Thought he was a fire engine

It's okay
Until he pisses on your lighter
Kind of smells kind of cool kind of funny anyway

Satan... Satan... Satan... Satan... Satan...

I had a friend once
He took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and everyone in the room

He was sort of loving
Kind of caring
Kind of tried to fuck my la-z-boy

It got a bit messy
All over the curtains
On you armchair covers, throw pillows and carpeting

I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored
Getting bored, I'm getting bored
Getting bored, I'm getting bored
Getting bored, I'm getting bored...
