Wish
this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart
climbed up real high now fall down real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just trew it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do
wish there was something real
wish there was something true
wish there was something real
in this world full of you
i'm the one without a soul
i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't thing you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone
wish there was something real
wish there was something true
wish there was something real
in this world full of you
i want to but i can't turn back
but i want to
Last
gave up trying to figure it out my head got lost along the way
worn out from giving it up my soul i pissed it all away
still stings these shattered nerves
pigs get what pigs deserve
i'm going all the way down
i'm leaving today
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you've gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
still feel it slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
everybody's still clipping away but it doesn't matter anymore
look through these blackened eyes
you'll see ten thousand eyes
my lips may promise but my heart is a whore
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you've gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i know it's all getting away it comes to me as no surprise
i know what is coming to me is never going to arrive
fresh blood through tired skin
new sweat to drown me in
dress up this rotten carcass
just to make it look alive
come come come on you've gotta fill me up
come come gotta let me inside of you
come come come on you've gotta fix me up
come come gotta let me get through to you
this isn't meant to last
this is for right now
i wish i could put the blame on you
i want you to make me
i want you to take me
i want you to break me
then i want you to throw me away
happiness in slavery
slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants
slave screams he thinks he has something to say
slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen
slave screams he is being beat into submission
don't open you eyes you won't like what you see
the devils of truth steal the souls of the free
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found you can find happiness in slavery
slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
slave screams he claims he has his own identity
slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the blind have been blessed with security
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found you can find happiness in slavery
i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been
human junk just words and so much skin
stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine
just some flesh caught in this big broken machine
Gave up
perfect little dream of the that hurts the most
forgot how it feels well almost
no one to blame always the same
open my eyes wake up in flames
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light
smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do
covered in hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burning in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become
i tried
i gave up
throw it away
