I think i learned my lesson

I’ll never want for more than this

Take my life and take my legs

Let the petrol paint the stage

Blinded by a future

Picking at the sutures

If you want to break her

We can just replace her

Watch her life go bye-bye

Fill her brain with cyanide

Double-dipping / power-tripping

WHY WHY WHY

I don’t know!

Where you wanna go

I won’t go!

To the down below

I don’t see a “why” if

I cannot kill your lies

W H - ? W H - ? W H - ?

Welcome to the anguish and the pain

Of those you left behind!

Schism versus altruism

Ending up in ergotism

Bearing this bad news

I’d rather choose to lose

This mind of mine

I have to wonder why

You’re making artwork out of ashes

Fucking with the masses

Let the blue light take the blame for

All the growing pains

The things that won’t change

The things i told in secret…

I’d really ask for nothing

But one wish:

To be something

What good is a life that

Makes love over misery

Made me sure i’d never be

Part of your picture-perfect life

But, i don’t know

What more to this there is

Selfishness, your claim to fame

“first come, first serve”

By every name

Gaze into a tortured heart

Through truths and lies

That claim no start

Bold-faced, cured to split apart

Defaced, replaced, made into art

Empty brains conflate the names

Now misnomers no longer heard

It’s quite absurd

The means preferred

To break the sane, to birth a reign

I don’t know!

Where you wanna go

I won’t go!

To the down below

I don’t see a “why” if

I cannot kill your lies

W H - ? W H - ? W H - ?

Welcome to the anguish and the pain

Of those you left behind!

Schism versus altruism

Ending up in ergotism

Bearing this bad news

I’d rather choose to lose

This mind of mine

So, what’s the why?

X x x

Ashes

Fucking with the masses

Let the blue light take the blame for

All the growing pains

The things that won’t change

The things i told in secret…

I’d really ask for nothing

But one wish:

To be something

What good is a life that

Makes love over misery

Made me sure i’d never be

Part of your picture-perfect life

[ . . . ]

You’re making artwork out of ashes

Fucking with the masses

Let the blue light take the blame for

All the growing pains

Cause nothing will change

Cause you can’t keep a secret

I’d really ask for nothing

But one wish:

To be something

What good is a life that

Makes love over misery

Made me sure i’d never be

Part of the picture…
