what about me
what about me
aren't I something to behold
bathe it in ice
oh it's so nice
love the chill inside my bones
I could pull your card
or call your bluff
too much baby i'm just enough
timid at best
blows through my chest
puncture every single wound
tell me I'm wise tell me ten times
but it's nothing out of you
starving for the light to shine through me
opacity will swallow me
hey
Oh no
I got it so bad
twisted in the knot you tied
and I'm feeling glad
Oh no
I'm damned if I don't
keep you in my arms tonight
and keep my stranglehold hold hold hold hold up
keep my stranglehold
fingers entwined run down my spine
it's a godless place to be
cross my mind once
it could be lust
never love a woman free
I was born cursed
a second son
watch me fuss I'll never run
hey
Oh no
I got it so bad
twisted in the knot you tied
and I'm feeling glad
Oh no
I'm damned if I don't
keep you in my arms tonight
and keep my stranglehold hold hold hold hold up
keep my stranglehold
don't I know it now
do I light your flame
a little louder now
I will not refrain
do you need me the way
that I need you right now
doesn't matter now
'cause I got you in my
got you in my
Oh no
I got it so bad
twisted in the knot you tied
and I'm feeling glad
Oh no
I'm damned if I don't
keep you in my arms tonight
and keep my stranglehold hold hold hold hold up
keep my stranglehold

Not Now
04:02
|

I haven't had a talk with God about the things I've done,
I render all apologize just pointless games he won,
I give and give until I'm out,
and then you take again,
It's just a misconception that this road will never end.
And it must be so easy,
for a man such as yourself
I never said that I was worthy,
but I'll welcome you to hell
Makes no difference now X3
Not now Not now Not now
Oh have mercy on my manner things are slowly taking shape,
I lock the door behind me with some hypo-critic tape,
I prayed to God I quit you babe,
it was so long ago,
but since I kicked the habbit I got so many more,
And you must feel so lucky
In the presence of myself,
I was only being cordial,
I wanted you to sell.
Makes no difference now X3
Not now Not now Not now
Where'd my baby go so high,
City swallow me alive,
bated, lured, with hook and line,
take you to the hell that's mine
Makes no difference now X3
Not now Not now Not now

Gimme Gimme

Oh mama,
The devil's back at my door,
he scratched his nails down my back,
and I'm the one he adores,
Oh mama,
I am bound to the floor,
silver spoon in my mouth
and I'm the sweat in his pours,
No I don't wanna feel alone,
I don't want to feel at all X2
Hold on through the night,
Gimme Gimme Gimme X2
Good riddance,
to a slight everyday,
to a social disorder,
to a man who obeys,
lamenting,
the driving forces to fail,
I put myself in the gutter,
and never learn to exhale.
No I don't wanna feel alone,
I don't want to feel at all X2
Hold on through the night,
Gimme Gimme Gimme X2
Oh mama,
The devil's back at my door,
he scratched his nails down my back,
and I'm the one he adores,
Oh mama,
I am bound to the floor,
silver spoon in my mouth
and I'm the sweat in his pours,
No I don't wanna feel alone,
I don't want to feel at all X2
Hold on through the night,
Gimme Gimme Gimme X2

Chemical Burn
04:04
|
|||
I'm just a doll,
wrapped in bows and perfume,
stare so blankly at all
of the things people do.
But when you reached in,
a compassionate hand,
you awoke something new,
a new woman and man.
Wise broads say don't you worry 'bout love,
it's a chemical burn
that they only dream off,
set in my daze,
oh the permanent haze,
the spell that he's sewn,
I'm no longer my own,
I gave my heart to you.
Seconds and hours,
cannot pass fast enough
I'm a slave to the tick,
of a grandfather clock.
Numb to my pain,
and the pills work the same,
but his voice makes me and I just can't explain it,
Wise broads say don't you worry 'bout love,
it's a chemical burn
that they only dream off,
set in my daze,
oh the permanent haze,
the spell that he's sewn,
I'm no longer my own,
I gave my heart to you.
Ain't no better X5
place than your arms
Lonely broads say don't you worry 'bout love,
it's a chemical burn that they only dream of,
set in my daze,
I am carried away,
And I know I'm this way,
I just wanted to say,
I gave my heart to you.

Exit
05:36
|
|||
Oh boy you set my soul on fire
Oh lay me down upon the wire
You want to get lost
Make sure you stay real close,
You want to get closer,
I can get your blood to flow.
Ain't no way out of here, go ahead find the exit.
You make me shake down to my breaking bone,
you're testing my will, why don't you leave my mind alone,
You want to get lost
Make sure you stay real close,
You want to get closer,
I can get your blood to flow.
Ain't no way out of here, go ahead find the exit.
Oh release me
release
You want to see the light,
It'll shine when you're not sane,
you want to feel right,
I can take away the pain,
I'll take it
Ain't no way out of here,
Go ahead find the exit.

Warm Blood
04:43
|
|||
I've been raised to know I'm going to die,
A life don't ever fade,
feel my warmth and hold me I'm alive,
A tender way to waste,
Lay lady lay, Lay lady Lay on the floor,
Shake what you've got
The poison is cold,
it rolls down your throat
and quenches your soul,
the cage is wide open,
I couldn't shut it if I tried,
it's my ever present pride.
Come on my child,
sit on my knee,
rekindle burning flame,
I reckon your arms wide open,
but do you know my name,
we might both have warm blood,
but your blood's never stained.
It oscillates and then creates,
a wall against my back,
push me inches further,
a colorless attack
we might both have warm blood
but what the hell is that
Lay lady lay, Lay lady Lay on the floor,
Shake what you've got
The poison is cold,
it rolls down your throat
and quenches your soul,
the cage is wide open,
I couldn't shut it if I tried,
it's my ever present pride.
The will to carry on my friend
the stalest thing I know
with each interrogation,
My eyes are aiming low,
we might both have warm blood,
but your blood doesn't flow,
Lay lady lay, Lay lady Lay on the floor,
I've been raised to know I'm going to die,
A life don't ever fade,
feel my warmth and hold me I'm alive,
A tender way to waste,
Shake what you've got
The poison is cold,
it rolls down your throat
and quenches your soul,
the cage is wide open,
I couldn't shut it if I tried,
it's my ever present pride.
the cage is wide open,
I couldn't shut it if I tried,
it's my ever present pride.

Unhinged
04:19
|

Shit happens,
that's what I'm told
to grate against joy when it's hard to hold,
the risks of optimism slay me,
I'm rising up above the fumes
where the bodies shiver and we start to bloom,
and all in all it always gets me
Your mama don't like a girl like me,
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
Daddy says why, can't you see
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
I'm crooked,
I don't take direction it'll be just fine when I lose connection,
to every person in this room,
I won't love you,
I won't say it back
I won't force you to do a stupid thing like that,
hilarity is so depressing
Your mama don't like a girl like me,
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
Daddy says why, can't you see
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
just a little bit
I'm so gorgeous
I'm so overwhelmed,
I love my body and I love myself,
and I will never be sarcastic,
Let's drive to the edge of the night
where adrenaline flows
get's me feelings alright,
I want to be the loosest cannon
Your mama don't like a girl like me,
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
Daddy says why, can't you see
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
just a little bit
Shit happens,
that's what I'm told
to grate against joy when it's hard to hold,
the risks of optimism slay me,
Oh you're cool, but I'm cooler than you,
I'm more than what you thought
and what you're thinking too,
this liberation is refreshing
Your mama don't like a girl like me,
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
Daddy says why, can't you see
stay away son, she's a little unhinged
just a little bit
