Hate me for everything you cannot be Hate me for always overcoming everything I see you wanna-be punks trying to rise to the top But you forgot about me, your new king Now bow down I can't believe this shit, all you fucking ignorant bigots and your stupid toy guns I'm tired of always being fucking second best When you yourself are only a two at best You need to reevaluate everything Because you're nothing Now tear me open, limb from limb Tell me the things that you see within I'm like a riot, out of control Filled with surprises no one knows You serve no place inside my life You only love the idea of me Now tear me open, limb from limb Tell me the things that you see within I'm like a riot, out of control Filled with surprises no one knows Now tear me open, limb from limb Tell me the things that you see within I'm like a riot, out of control Filled with surprises no one knows If you looked deep enough, you will know You could never be me Never be me Never

My Butterfly 03:05
Hate, hate, hate, hate Hate, hate, hate, hate... Like a leech I was born to suck your blood With a heart so sour like gasoline Ocean eyes and snow white hair Tastes so sweet it'd make a coffin bleed Paper wings and bloody feet Everything that I hate Put itself inside of you and then it made me fall Love, love, love, love Love, love, love... Scissors help to numb the pain But my scars I know will never fade I smelled your soul from a mile away And what you want is everything I've always been in the wrong situation You've always given me the shit-end of the stick But now it's over Now it's time to clip your wings and fuck your pretty angel face It's over Now it's time to clip your wings and fuck your pretty angel face Is this what you want Anything for you My Butterfly Please accept this dead bouquet for everything I didn't say You left me with scars to blame, now spread your wings and fly away Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly away You left me with scars to blame, now spread your wings and fly away I've always been in the wrong situation You've always given me the shit-end of the stick

Bleed 03:35
On the third day I was crucified They couldn't even tell if I was dead or alive I smelled like sulfur and genocide Now tell me everything that's on your mind This world doesn't need another savior So don't go pushing your beliefs on me I'm here to tell everyone that they can save themselves If they truly believe Everybody knows that nothing is real if it didn't come from government, TV, or the radio How would you feel if I told you that you couldn't be a pussy if I told you that you need to shed blood Scream, scream, scream, but I can't hear a thing I see your lips moving but the sound is deafening Bleed, bleed, bleed, with a razor to your wrist I hate to say goodbye but I'll leave you with a kiss Executive order 666 says throw your hands in the air if you don't give a shit I run this fucking country cause I killed that stupid monkey If you think that statement's racist maybe you should meet my fist When will you see that I don't care About stupid things like gossip in the air Everyone's failed me, but I still won't watch TV Scream, scream, scream, but I can't hear a thing I see your lips moving but the sound is deafening Bleed, bleed, bleed, with a razor to your wrist I hate to say goodbye but I'll leave you with a kiss Kiss on the forehead To alleviate any pain Abuse the medication Don't get lost in my frustration Sit down with me We are rotting slowly Now do you know why I do not care Nothing personal, I just don't belong here I built my world inside my head It's like living in a dream cause everyone is dead Scream, scream, scream, but I can't hear a thing I see your lips moving but the sound is deafening Bleed, bleed, bleed, with a razor to your wrist I hate to say goodbye but I'll leave you with a kiss Scream, scream, scream, but I can't hear a thing I see your lips moving but the sound is deafening Bleed, bleed, bleed, with a razor to your wrist I hate to say goodbye but I'll leave you with a kiss

The Burden 01:41
I can't find my way to fall, this is it Everything I ever wanted to be is just put on the back-burner I can't believe it now I am a failure at best I can't even take care of myself I am nothing but, nothing but ashes to hell I've become a burden to every single person I've ever known
6.
I can't be left behind I've got too many things I've got to do with my life What if I told you that this isn't the end Like you thought it to be Happy's just a chemical imbalance Always trying to tell me what to feel My heart's been broken too many times To ever be repaired When your life is shattered And your heart is black Take another pill Drink another shot Cut another line Put my name on it, put it on my tab I'll pay it in hell, I'll pay it in hell Happy's just a chemical imbalance Always trying to tell me what to feel My heart's been broken too many times To ever be repaired Through my trials I've learned to only please myself Living for another one is like making a deal with the devil It doesn't matter what I say or do Not anymore Happy's just a chemical imbalance on my part If only I had a heart to tell you "I need you, always" A future without you is something I'm beginning to imagine Take this nightmare, turn it to gold, put it on your finger Skip the vows or we won't have time to die Say goodbye to your new-found husband Say goodbye

Fuck You 04:24
So what I'm fucking vulgar, you can't censor me I'm not an orange puppet that they pay to be on TV Not a fucking robot to your government society No one fucking tells me what to do every day Cause the only ass I'm kissing is the end of this cigarette The only ass I'm kissing is the end of my cigarette Mental breakdown Bang, bang, everything making chaos in my brain Call me fucking crazy but I think that you're the one insane Hey, hey, what'd you say, mother took her life today Maybe if you had some balls you'd turn around and do the same Do the same Everybody's got the wrong idea about what it is I do Cause it's all for me Everything I do is all for me I don't give a single fuck about your royalties You can kiss my cracker ass until my shit is all you see But you just can't accept that I'm something you can never tame Don't even think that you're smarter than me Cause I'll hit you harder than your mom's sobriety And there's nothing you can do that'll make me change There's nothing in this world that could ever bring me down Cause threw my heart away and now it's like I never frown Everyone I meet turns out to be a stupid sheep Why is everyone around me so afraid to speak the truth Why is everyone around me so afraid to speak the truth Hey you, can you hear me screaming your name Everybody's waiting for another sad apology Maybe I am driving you crazy Like a mom who lost her baby, I'm a monster in the mind Everything I do is all for me I don't give a single fuck about your royalties You can kiss my cracker ass until my shit is all you see But you just can't accept that I'm something you can never tame Don't even think that you're smarter than me Cause I'll hit you harder than your mom's sobriety And there's nothing you can do that'll make me change Everything I do is all for me I don't give a single fuck about your royalties You can kiss my cracker ass until my shit is all you see But you just can't accept that I'm something you can never tame Don't even think that you're smarter than me Cause I'll hit you harder than your mom's sobriety And there's nothing you can do that'll make me change

I heard a rumor that God smokes, too And every leaf that he burns is a sin he'll save from you He raped your children in Hollywood's basement Now everyone praise God I know I can't face him alone But with the help of my fist, I'll make sure I'm known Killing all the non-believers, maybe now they'll see the light Last time I checked, genocide is not the way to save your soul But it'll get us there I know I can't face him alone But with the help of my guns, I'll make a big kaboom Call me the fallen, the Satan-spawn The one who saved you from believing in one I'm all for living in the flesh As long as it's pure in hate and ruins the day I am the king of immorality, drugs and fame Yet there's nothing about my life that you call tame I know I can't face him alone But with the help of my sins, I'll make a fool of you Call me the fallen, the Satan-spawn The one who saved you from believing in one I'm all for living in the flesh As long as it's pure in hate and ruins the day I wanna hear it from your sinning hearts Ask me to forgive you Call me the fallen, the Satan-spawn The one who saved you from believing in one I'm all for living in the flesh As long as it's pure in hate and ruins the day I don't give a fuck what you think of my words Because they're nothing but air, but they will hit you where it hurts They will hit you where it hurts

Glamour 03:15
Put your goddamn makeup down You're better off putting mud on that face What's so pretty about pretending You're a walking insecurity Putting on a show for all the dolled up mannequins You're just a slave that's that's trapped in her own skin When will you ever learn that there's nothing fun about trying to fit in Glamour, glamour, glamour Glamour, glamour, glamour Looking for a way to escape, baby take my hand Looking for a way to escape, baby take my hand This is all just make believe Run away and fuck the pain Run away and fuck the pain This is all just another bad dream Run away and fuck the pain Run away and fuck the pain I can't make you change You'll always be the one I hate You've always been just a piece of shit God should've killed you when he had the chance I can't make you change You'll always be the one I hate You've always been just a piece of shit God should've killed you when he had the chance Putting on a show for all the dolled up mannequins You're just a slave that's trapped in her own skin When will you ever learn that there's nothing fun about trying to fit in Glamour, glamour, glamour Glamour, glamour, glamour Looking for a way to escape, baby take my hand Looking for a way to escape, baby take my hand Escape, escape, escape, escape Escape, escape, escape, escape

I'll paint these walls red with the voices going in my head Doesn't fucking matter cause we know that I'm better dead Better dead, better dead, better dead You know that I don't care about the stupid shit you say Because you're never there for me except for when you walked away Walked away, walked away, walked away You know that I am done with everything you say to me You never gave a shit about me or the family Cause you were always fucking interested in preying on the innocent The Innocent, the innocent, the innocent Maybe that explains why you were always trying to catch a peak at that which does not belong to you You creepy fuck, what else is new I can't explain how fucking sick you are A thousand mirrors couldn't show you the truth So now I'm standing on my own two feet Just like the god I predicted I'd be If it were only you and me on earth I would kill myself, so you'd suffer alone I never understood, because you never fully explained Why did you always fucking beat me when it was your own demons you could never learn to tame Maybe you're the one who's playing silly children's games Silly children's games, silly children's games, silly children's games I can't begin to explain what I see with my own two eyes, because you're nothing to me So now I'm standing on my own two feet Just like the god I predicted I'd be If it were only you and me on earth I would kill myself, so you'd suffer alone So now I'm standing on my own two feet Just like the god I predicted I'd be If it were only you and me on earth I would kill myself, so you'd suffer alone
