the fragile (right)
all i've undergone
i will keep on
underneath it all
we feel so small
the heavens fall
but still we crawl
all i've undergone
i will keep on
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
talking to myself all the way to the station
pictures in my head of the final destination
all lined up
(all the ones that aren't allowed to stay)
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
tried to overcome the complications and the catches
nothing ever grows and the sun doesn't shine all day
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away
did you happen to catch
or did it happen so fast
what you thought would always last
has passed you by
is everything speeding up
or am i slowing down
just spinning around
and i don't know why
all the pieces don't fit
thought i really didn't give a shit
i never wanted to be like you
but for all i aspire
i am really a liar
and i'm running out of things i can do
i'd like to stay
but every day
everything pushes me further away
if you could show
help me to know
how it's supposed to be
where did it go?
pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody?
well okay, enough.
you've had your fun
but come on there has got to be someone
that hasn't yet become
so numb
and succumb
and
god damn i am so tired of pretending
of wishing i was ending
when all i'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe i wish i could try
pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody?
i'm going to get so high
you'll never get inside
i swore i'd never turn into you
i'm closer all the time
i made it 10 miles high
can't tell my truth from my lies
i swore to god i'd never turn into you
i'm getting closer...all the time
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
this is how
it begins
push it away but it all comes back again
all the flesh
all the sin
there was a time when it used to mean just about everything
just like now
breathe, echoing the sound
time starts slowing down
sink until i drown
(please) i don't ever want to make it stop
and it keeps repeating
will you please complete me?
never be enough
to fill me up
watch the white
turn to red
it fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
all my life
yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
(well guess what?)
the world is over and i realize it was all in my head
now everything is clear
i erase the fear
i can disappear
(please) i don't ever want to make it stop
you can never leave me
will you please complete me
never be enough
to fill me up
my god sits in the back of the limousine
my god comes in a wrapper of cellophane
my god pouts on the cover of the magazine
my god's a shallow little bitch trying to make a scene
i have arrived and this time you should believe the hype
i listened to everyone now i know that everyone was right
i'll be there for you as long as it works for me
i play a game
it's called insincerity
starfuckers
starfuckers
starfuckers,inc.
starfuckers
i am every fucking thing and just a little more
i sold my soul but don't you dare call me a whore
and when i suck you off not a drop will go to waste
it's really not so bad you know once you get past the taste, yeah
(asskisser)
starfuckers
starfuckers
starfuckers,inc.
starfuckers
all our pain
how did we ever get by without you ?
you're so vain
i bet you think this song is about you
don't you ?
don't you ?
don't you ?
don't you ?
now i belong, i'm one of the chosen ones
now i belong, i'm one of the beautiful ones
i can take it
sideways
sometimes
some things
feel like
i'm on the other side
waves of every feeling ever felt
...screaming
hold it close
(so) i can taste it
i've watched this scene
a thousand times
and in my head
this is how it all begins
yes, i am becoming
and this is how it all begins
what did you expect ?
this is not an exit
this has begun
i can almost see
the blackest eyes
the new flesh
a new disguise
...welcoming...
please
give it to me
i can take it
give it to me
i can take it
i'm looking forward to joining you, finally
as black as the night can get
everything is safer now
there's always a way to forget
once you learn to find a way how
in the blur of serenity
where did everything get lost?
the flowers of naivete
buried in a layer of frost
the smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes
thought he had it all before they called his bluff
found out that his skin just wasn't thick enough
wanted to go back to how it was before
thought he lost everything
then he lost a whole lot more
a fool's devotion
swallowed up in empty space
the tears of regret
frozen to the side of his face
the smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes
i've done all i can do
could i please come with you?
sweet smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes
there is a game i play
try to make myself okay
try so hard to make the pieces all fit
smash it apart
just for the fuck of it
bye bye oooh
got to get back to the bottom
bye bye oooh
the big come down isn't that what you wanted?
bye bye oooh
find a place with the failed and forgotten
bye bye oooh
isn't that really what you wanted now?
there is no place i can go there is no way i can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside
there is a hate that burns within
the most desperate place i have ever been
try to get back to where i'm from
the closer i get the worse it becomes
the closer i get the worse it becomes
there is no place i can go there is no place i can hide
it feels like it keeps coming from the inside
all i do
i can still feel you
numb all through
i can still feel you
hear your call
underneath it all
kill my brain
yet you still remain
crucified
after all i've died
after all i've tried
you are still inside
all i do
i can still feel you
you remain
i am stained
