Spread Me Open
04:36

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

Welcome to America
Where the criminals are models and the teens are lost in beer bottles
Everyone's doing drugs
Leaving their kids cause they don't give a fuck
Pseudo-psychopaths run this three-ring circus
Blinded by the colors of a bloody flag
Tell me where there's freedom in a country of faggots, nowhere
Try to cope with life with a cheaper pack of cigarettes
Baby in the womb getting high on mommy's nicotine
I'm telling everyone that there's no place better than America, hellyeah
Sing it with me
Hellyeah, hellyeah, hellyeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hellyeah, hellyeah, hellyeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can't be afraid to get your shoes bloody when you gotta step on someone's hands to take a step higher
Forget your family, every friend you made in high school, everyone's a faggot and you know they're jealous that you're cool
Got a fucking gift, won't you take it to Hollywood, tell them what you're all about, tell 'em what you really want
They can make you a star, hellyeah!
Red, white, blue, pain
We paint the colors of our nation with the people that we hate
Sell you anything, everything that you could want
Sex, drugs, slot machines, even little girls that you can fuck
Anything that you can imagine, we got it
I wanna hear it one more time
Hellyeah, hellyeah, hellyeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hellyeah, hellyeah, hellyeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Today, tomorrow, I hate the same
I just express it in different ways
Today, tomorrow, I hate the same
If you were me I wouldn't have to explain
I don't believe in you cause nothin' ever good came from red, white and blue
I don't exist for you cause I wasn't born to please anybody but myself, only myself
I don't believe in you cause nothin' ever good came from red, white and blue
I don't exist for you cause I wasn't born to please anybody but myself
I don't have a choice but to tell you the truth because all I ever see is degenerate liars
Today, tomorrow, I hate the same
I just express it in different ways
Today, tomorrow, I hate the same
If you were me I wouldn't have to explain
I sing about the things I see every day
If you don't like it maybe you're the one that shouldn't stay
Before I go, I'll leave you with these last three words
Welcome to America!

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

Happy Is Just A Chemical
05:25
|
|||
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

God Smokes, Too
03:49
|
|||
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

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
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
I've always been in the wrong situation

The Caterpillar

It is a war movie
What is this
I'll fail in the end
If they helped me
See what we had
Give a fuck
Look at me
It looks like I pulled my sores
I hurt in the long run
She looked out

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

Wake Up, Daddy
03:48
|
|||
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
