Hey, it's late
I can barely see straight
You're barely standing out
You talk, you feel
You wanted something that's real
I am pretending now

I know that you're smart
You mentioned it before
You can read and write
I bet baby, you perform

Aim low
You just met me I know
But I feel something right now
So aim low
Just let yourself go
All I need is tonight yeah

Tonight could be kept between
You and me
LyricsI don't need to know your name
You aim is off
Just boys in here and they're soft
I'll give you something to tame

I know that you're smart
You mentioned it before
You can read and write
I bet baby, you perform

Aim low
You just met me I know
But I feel something right now
So aim low
Just let yourself go
All I need is tonight yeah


. . .


There's another sucker born
Every minute lord
Take her out and pay for a good time
You never know what you can afford
Another wreck and time to collect
more souvenirs
Gone another million miles
No words for the wear

And there's a sucker born
Every other minute lord
He deserves you more
You know I'll only crash this car

I sear to god I'm
wrecking it all
Your happy end
Spin around the block in half the time
I know where you've been
Too bad you're not feeling too bad
You want to be my friend
Got another ride and you're taking off
Met a General Motor man

And there's a sucker born
Every other minute lord
He deserves you more
You knoow I'll only crash this car

. . .



I'd like to see you in two pieces
You won't be walking
Barely breathing
I'd like to see you at my door
We're together like before

I could miss you more right now or
I could slit your throat

Sometimes I get so down
You're not around and I'd rather
See you dead

At night you're sleeping by his side
I tried to see you but you
let him decide that
I'm a threat now
Well are you scared?
It's just murder. At least you
Know I care

Sometimes I get so down
You're not around and I'd rather
See you dead
Sometimes I get lonely and
All I need is
Just to see you dead


. . .



The air you breathe you suck
The life out of me
Your mouth moves like
Something shaking loose
God knows these insults don't
Even phase you now

Don't get comfortable
Start thinking I
Still believe you now
I know you're lying

I'd take my death before I'd
Let you win
I am removed there's nothing
Left to prove
You're down, I don't care
You know this life is unfair

Don't get comfortable
Start thinking I still believe you now
LyricsI know you're lying
I know you're lying
I know you lie

If I believe you now then I'm to blame
but I know what you are
So don't get comfortable
Start thinking I don't realize it now
I know you're lying
I know you're lying
I know you lie


. . .



You never rid the butterflies
The hate you feel
You can't disguise
It's animal, it's chemical
It's only human
To hit so low

I know what you need
I can tell you lies and
We'll be enemies
So dissatisfied

The dirty looks. You burn inside.
You won't forget 'cause you've decided
There's someone you can blame
You can feel lily white again

I know what you need
I can tell you lies and
We'll be enemies
So dissatisfied


. . .



I start to feel sick whenever we talk
It's nothing medical
Ever remark you make is off the cuff
You're so unwound
It's unnatural

I know you're acting now
You're wasting time

So darling you're stalling now
I'll give you time
Darling you're worrying
I'll be alright

You look so pleased
You're right where you want to be
There's nothing clever 'bout dumb luck
I should ignore you
I'd just get bored with you
It's easier when I'm not drunk

LyricsI know you're acting now
You're wasting time

So darling you're stalling now
I'll give you time
Darling you're worrying
I'll be alright

I feel sick when you're near
I don't remember why we're here
Darling please, you're boring me
It's hard to pretend I'm listening
I might be deaf, I might be dumb
but I know that something is wrong

and darling you're worrying I'll leave you right now


. . .



It all went out the window
In a breeze outside
You got so far when you realized

Everything looked promising
Now you're uninspired
You're giving up what you want
Just to be admired

and Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you you're adored
Everybody loves you

Anybody else would sympathize
But I know that you need
Someone to despise

Now your mood is not so good
You don't know what you're after
You fear the highs
You're breaking ties
LyricsYou can be a bastard

And Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you you're adored
Everybody loves you loves you
and anybody else
would sympathize
they'd sympathize

Everybody loves you
Everybody loves a shameless liar
Everybody loves you


. . .



There are things you never know
you need removed before
You think too much, you feel, you touch
Just cut 'em out for good

Well put me under know
Knock me out

Are you safe?
Are you sound?
Are you living in fear now?
Are you scared?
Are you falling?
Can you feel at all are you scarring now?

The false alarms you knew before
You were surgically reformed
You turned it all around
You knocked them out

Are you safe?
LyricsAre you sound?
Are you living in fear now?
Are you scared?
Are you falling?
Can you feel at all are you scarring now?

Are you falling now? 'Cause I can help you down
Now you see how it feels

Are you safe?
Are you sound?
Are you living in fear now?
Are you scared?
Are you falling?
Can you feel at all are you scarring now?


. . .



Darlin' I would never tell
Use your speak and spell

Like revolution that's bound to stall
It's hard to be ignored

it doesn't mean that much
I don't hate your guts but
I don't want to hear you're better off
I wanna know he's dull
And he's miserable
I wanna know that he can stand an insult

Darlin' I would keep it down
You give yourself away

All the insults you toss around
Come back to haunt you now

it doesn't mean that much
I don't hate your guts but
LyricsI don't want to hear you're better off
I wanna know he's dull
And he's miserable
I wanna know that he can stand an insult

Drive this car right off the road
Are you comfortable?
Let's go

it doesn't mean that much
I don't hate your guts but
I don't want to hear you're better off
I wanna know he's dull
And he's miserable
I wanna know that he can stand an insult


. . .



Darlin' was a hit
Started throwing punches
She connects, never gets what she wants
And she wants

She's unhinged
Swears now that was then
Just a little glitch
Patch it up again
And she wants
And she wants
And she wants

So far I don't understand this
There's no misunderstanding
There's nothing here to get
She wants more than my attention
She's not above invention
But I don't really care

It's unreal, she'll tell you what you wanna hear
LyricsFeel her infection touch you and rot
And you rot
And you rot
And you rot

So far I don't understand this
There's no misunderstanding
There's nothing here to get
She wants more than my attention
She's not above intention
But I don't really care

Don't know what you want or how far
You fall when you're unhinged
Coming back for more
I was only horny

so far I don't understand this
There's no misunderstanding
There's nothing here to get
She wants more than my attention
She's not above invention
But I don't really care


. . .



You're so worked up this torture
Is paying off
Who's keeping score now?
You let me know before
How far can you get?
I don't know I could only guess
You'd never notice when
Everything started vanishing

Your last breath on earth
Is all I can take

All these compliments
Are you for now or against?
You're too nice somehow
You'd murder me right now

You last breath on Earth
Is all I can take
