I'm sweating
And breathing
And staring
And thinking
And sinking
Deeper
It's almost like I'm swimming

The sun is burning hot again
On the hunter and the fisherman
And I'm trying to remember when
But it makes me dizzy

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream
It's the way you whisper

The sun is setting cool again
I'm a thinker and a fisherman
And I'm trying to remember when
But it makes me dizzy

And I'm sweating
And breathing
And staring
And thinking
And sinking
Deeper
And it's almost like I'm swimming

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream
It's the way you whisper

Drags me under
Takes me home

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping into a dream within a dream
It's the way you whisper

Drags me under
Takes me home

Fuck you

I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to.
Even if I'm not serious

Go fuck yourself
Go fuck yourself
You piece of shit
Why don't you just go kill yourself?

I said
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm just kidding

People tell me what to say
What to think and what to play
I said
People tell me what to say
What to think and what to play

I said
Fuck yourself
Fuck yourself
You piece of shit
Why don't you just go kill yourself?

I said
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
Even if I'm just kidding

Go fuck yourself
Go fuck yourself
You piece of shit
Why don't you go fuck yourself?

People tell me what to say
What to think and what to play
I said
People tell me what to say
What to think and what to play

Just kidding
Just kidding
Just kidding

I know you well.
You are a part of me.
I know you better than I know myself.

I know you best, better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself.

You are a part of me.

You are just a part of me.
You are just a part of me.
You are just a part of me.
You are just a part of me.

Give it up!

You don't speak.
You don't judge.
You can't leave.
You can't hurt me.
You're just here for me to use.

I know you well, you are a part of me.
I know you better than I know myself.
I know you best, better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself.
I know you well, better than anyone might think.
I know you better than I know myself.

I know you well, you are a part of me.
I know you best, better than anyone.
I know you well, you are a part of me.
I know you best, better than one might think.
It's time for you to make a sacrifice.
It's time to die a little.
Give it up.

I know you best, better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself!

A part of me.

Safe

Underneath her skin and jewellery
Hidden in her words and eyes
There's a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened
Oh, oh, oh

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened

Wide awake and
Keeping distance from my soul
Wide awake and
Keeping distance from my soul

Safe

Underneath her skin and jewellery
Hidden in her words and eyes
There's a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell

Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am frightened too
I am scared like you
I am frightened

Someone told me once
That there's a right and wrong.
And that punishment was cure
For those who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
But I'm tired of waiting.

Someone told me once
That there's a right and wrong,
And that punishment was cure
For those who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it's just bullshit
and I should play GOD
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.

Consequences dictate our course of action
And it doesn't matter what's right.
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate my course of action
I should play GOD and just shoot you myself.
I'm very tired of waiting.
DIE!
Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment
would come to those
who dare to cross the line.

But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe, yes, it's just bullshit and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.*
Because I'm tired of waiting.

Consequences dictate
our course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right.
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate
my course of action
I should play GOD
and shoot you myself.*
I'm very tired of waiting.

I should
kick you,
beat you,
fuck you,
and then shoot you in your fucking head.

Choices always were a problem for you
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you

Like me
Like me
Like me
Like me

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me, now don't you judge or question
You are broken now but faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you

Thy god's will
Becomes me
When he speaks
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like I do
We both want
To rape you

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eye, blind me with your light now
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eye, blind me with your light now

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me, now don't you judge or question
You are broken now but faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eye, blind me with your light now
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eye, blind me with your light now

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you

Thy god's will
Becomes me
When he speaks
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like I do
We both want
To rape you

I had a friend once he took some acid
Now he thinks he's a fire engine
It's okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway

satan, satan, satan...

I had a friend once he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving kinda caring,
kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains,
arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting

satan, satan, satan...

I'm getting bored again...
