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 threw 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 think 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

slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants slave screams thinks he has something to say slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen slave screams he's being beat into submission don't open your 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 through the cage of this endless routine just some flesh caught in this big broken machine

perfect little dream the kind 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 burn 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

i want to date you maybe i want to take you out i want to wine and dine you i want to twist and twist and shout i want you hard in my arms so soft on my bed you get the key to my heart when you wear that sweet dress but you're too physical, physical, for me you're just too physical, physical, to me i want your roughhouse baby i want this right in your ear you let me feel your danger i let you make this feeling clear, here i want the touch of your charms the heat of your breath i want to say all those things that would be better unsaid

there is no god up in the sky tonight no sign of heaven anywhere in sight all that was true is left behind once i could see now i am blind don't want the dreams you try to sell this disease i give to myself how does it feel? suck suck suck she makes it sweeter than the sun i get too tight i come undone i bow my head to confess her temple walls are made of flesh runs up my arm till i'm on track itches the skin right off my back i'll heal your wounds i'll set you free i'm jesus christ on ecstasy how does it feel? suck suck suck i am so dirty on the inside i am so dirty on the inside how does it feel? suck suck suck a thousand lips a thousand tongues a thousand throats a thousand lungs a thousand ways to make it true i want to do terrible things to you
