BASELINE

(instrumental)

top

PISS

opened up to let you in
that's when the war always begins
on your thin line of broken glass
don't see how this charade can last
in this game of catch twenty-two
what the hell can i do
drama for the dispossessed
can't seem to escape this fucking mess

i gave you freedom
you gave me chains
i gave you security
and someone new to blame
i gave you comfort
you gave me pain
i built the foundation
you pissed it down the drain

your boiling blood's not satisfied
i can see the rage in your eyes
you'll come begging, it's too late
you've become everything you hate
is your enmity just jealousy
that without you here, i can breathe
are you feeling wounded, feeling scarred
now i realize just how fucked up you are

you took my time
and i took your shit
you took my identity
every last little bit
you took my advice
and i took your disdain
i've taken enough
now i'll piss it down the drain

STATIC

falling down the stairs again
slicing up my limbs again
kicking in the bricks again
smashing my face against the wall again
lost in the maze again
blind in my eyes again
numb in my hands again
you're deaf to my pleas again

if you touch me, you might freeze
i'm the ice king, baby, when you're down on your knees
there's nothing but static...

lying awake at night
staring at the ceiling
wondering how the hell it all went wrong
can't imagine how to solve the unsolvable
stop the unstoppable
this is all inevitable

knawing from within again
pouring salt in my wounds again
aching from relief again
mocking myself for this pain again
barred from the game again
bound to my cell again
forced to repent again
and you don't give a damn again

sitting in the darkness
chewing on this baggage
feeling like i've already sealed my fate
can't figure out how to move the unmovable
invigorate the impenetrable
this is the end of it all

top

TOOL

i hate myself, that's why i want you
i'll destroy myself with everything we do
every time you touch me, a piece of me dies
i turn to stone when i look in your eyes
take me, use me, abuse me, forsake me
take me in, chew me up, spit me out and break me
you can make it hurt or you can make it sting
just make me feel anything

i get so lonely when i just want to be alone
i want you now and then i want to be on my own
let's get together and break all of our golden rules
i'm just a fool
i'm your tool

i know what i want but i don't know what i need
and i know i like it when you make me bleed
use your fist when you touch me
caress me and punch me
you think i'm shattered but it doesn't mean much to me
there's nothing between love and hate
fear and fate, don't make me wait
baby, you're good for just one thing
and that's the hate that you bring

i get so soft when you don't give it to me hard
take it like a man, honey, or you're gonna get jarred
i know what you're thinking, baby, but please don't lose your cool
i'm just a fool
i'm your tool

humiliate me
devastate me
denigrate me
it all elates me
sweetness bores me
sell me, whore me
walk on toward me
waterboard me

top

BACK BREAK

with this cut on my lip
and that look in your eye
i see my fate start to multiply
into hell after hell
ring after ring
and everywhere i look
it's the same damn thing

so go ahead, go ahead and make my day
go ahead, go ahead and have your way
back break

i could point out your flaws, but what's the point?

don't know what i want
can't even fantasize
can't get what i want
does it really surprise you (no)
i keep going back
to the fucked up things you do
i keep wondering how
it's gonna be something new

i've given up giving up
and this is where it begins
so get rid of that look
and get rid of that shit-eating grin
back break

i could point out your flaws, but what's the point?

i made up the making up
for your bald-faced lies
and trying to tell me what
and what's what
but you won't look me in the eyes
back break

SMASHED TO PIECES

sitting here in my own pit
wallowing here in my own shit
i'm about as low as i can get
i have to tear myself apart to feel like i am sane again
maybe you think everything's okay
but you don't know where i've been

torn up and tossed in the bin
just waiting for the cure to kick in
i'm smashed
i'm smashed to pieces
smashed
smashed to pieces
god how i relish losing control
get this momentum going and i'm on a roll
gonna get it gonna get it on again...

sitting here waiting for something new
i just can't work out what to do
i just got myself and a bottle too
i have to kill myself slowly just to make my life feel okay
let the poison coarse through my veins
this is how i pay to play

top

INVISIBLE

you don't remember me
and that's okay
my eyes are faded and dull
my skin a pale gray
when i walked the path
i swam within the walls
i never made a mark
i am so small

i have evaporated
faded away from sight
i am invisible
disappearing into the night

i am neither cream nor water
i did not sink nor swim
even with all my ideals
my chances were very slim
never felt emboldened
sidelines were my best friend
every time i looked in the mirror
i am the beginning
i am the end

FRICTION

(instrumental)

top

HUNGER

that empty feeling instilled in me
want to do everything to get it out of me
but it's too good at always finding me
can't catch a break, any kind of release
avoiding conflict destroys my peace
spinning in this sphere i have to start all over again

i'm trying to find a way to fill this need
to bandage every hole that bleeds
you're just like all the others
it's no wonder
can't satiate my hunger
i'm going under

that sinking feeling i'm trying to break
this parasite has taken all it can take
when i feel fulfilled, it's always fake
i throw anything into this empty heart
tried to bring it together but i tore it apart
spinning in my grave i have to start all over again

i'm hoping for a way to set me free
and all of this junk will leave me be
you're just like all the others
it's no wonder
can't satiate my hunger
i'm going under

everything is never enough
nothing is ever enough for me
