Head Like A Hole
god money i'll do anything for you
god money just tell me what you want me to
god money nail me up against the wall
god money don't want everything he wants it all
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
head like a hole
black as your soul
i'd rather die than give you control
head like a hole
black as your soul
i'd rather die than give you control
bow down before the one you serve
you're going to get what you deserve
bow down before the one you serve
you're going to get what you deserve
god money's not looking for the cure
god money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure
god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
god money's not one to choose
you know who you are

Terrible Lie
hey god, why are you doing this to me?
am i not living up to what im supposed to be?
why am i seething with this animosity?
i think you owe me a great big apology
terrible lie (x4)
hey god, i really don't know what you mean
seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems?
terrible lie (x4)
don't take it away from me
i need someone to hold on to
don't take it away from me
i need someone to hold on to
hey god, there's nothing left for me to hide
i lost my ignorance, security and pride
i'm all alone in a world you must despise
hey god, i believed the promises, the promises and lies
you made me throw it all away
my morals left to decay
how many you betray
you've taken everything
my head is filled with disease
my skin is begging you please
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe
i give you everything
my sweet everything
hey god, i really don't know who i am
in this world of piss

Down In It
kinda like a cloud i was up, way up in the sky
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe sometimes i don't
believe them myself and i decided i was never coming down
just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see
but i watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me down
i was up above it
i was up above it
now i'm down in it
(chorus repeats once)
well shut up so what what does it matter now
i was swimming in the haze now i crawl on the ground
and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me
try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
"i guess the jokes on me," she said
i was up above it
i was up above it
now i'm down in it
(chorus repeats once)
i used to be so big and strong
i used to know my right from wrong
i used to never be afraid
i used to be somebody
back to the top
Sanctified
it's still getting worse after everything i tried
what if i found a way to wash it all aside
what if she touches with those fingertips
as the words spill out like fire from her lips
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell
i still dream of lips i never should have never kissed
well she knows exactly what i can't resist
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
(spoken softly, nearly inaudible)
dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to write
i'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to
know about it, but that just isn't possible now i don't know what's going to
happen, but what can i say to you? will i'm sorry make a difference? will it
ease the pain? the shame you must be feeling
forgive me please
i'm just caught up in another of her spells
well she's turning me into someone else
everyday i hope and pray this will end
but when i can i do it all again
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
(inaudible)
as surely as the blades course is run
maybe my kingdom's finally come

Something I Can Never Have
i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing
and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go way
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if i had a heart
i just want something i can never have
in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing
and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go way
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have
(inaudible)
think i know what you meant
that night on my bed
still picking at this scab
i wish you were dead
your sweat and perry ellis
just stains on my sheets
back to the top
Kinda I Want To
i can't shake this feeling from my head
there's a devil sleeping in my bed
he's watching you from across the way
i cannot make this feeling go away
i know it's not the right thing
and i know it's not the good thing
but kinda i want to
i'm not sure of what i should do
when everything i'm thinking of is you
all of my excuses turn to lies
maybe God will cover up his eyes
i know it's not the right thing
and i know it's not the good thing
but kinda i want to
kinda i want to
maybe just for tonight
we can pretend it's alright
what's the price i pay
i don't care what they say
i want to
i want to (i'll take my chance tonight)

Sin
you give me the reason
you give me control
i gave you my purity
my purity you stole
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise
am i just too stupid to realize
stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies
it comes down to this
your kiss
your fist
and your strain
it gets under my skin
within
take in the extent of my sin
you give me the anger
you give me the nerve
carry out the sentence
i get what i deserve
i'm just an effigy to be defaced
to be disgraced
your need for me has been replaced
and if i can't have everything well then just give me a taste
it comes down to this
your kiss
your fist
and your strain
it gets under my skin
within
take in the extent of my sin
back to the top
Thats What I Get
just when everything was making sense
you took away all my self-confidence
now all that i've been hearing must be true
i guess i'm not the only boy for you
but that's what i get (repeats)
how could you turn us into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you
i told you i'd never say goodbye
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry
but that's what i get (repeats)
why does it come as a surprise
to think that i was so naive
maybe didn't mean that much
but it meant everything to me
back to the top
The Only Time
i'm drunk
and right now i'm so in love with you
and i don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do
lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car
nothing quite like the feel of something new
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
but this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive
i swear
i just found everything i need
the sweat in your eyes, the blood in your veins are listening to me
well i want to drink it up and swim in it until i drown
my moral standing is lying down
nothing quite like the feel of something new
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
but this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive
i can't help thinking Christ never had it like this

Ringfinger
well you've got me working so hard lately
working my hands until they bleed
if i was twice the man i could be
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
anything you ask you know i'll do
but this one act of consecration
is what i ask of you
ringfinger
a promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone.
and offer it to me
you just leave me nailed here
like Jesus on this cross i'll be dying for your sins.
and aiding to the cause
ringfinger
a promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me
wrap my eyes in bandages
confessions i see through
i get everything i want
when i get part of you
ringfinger
a promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me
ringfinger
a promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
devil's flesh and bone
do something for me
(printed but inaudible)
i'm so tired i cant get to sleep
and the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that's
repeating in my head
i just want you to know
"when i do it, i only think of you."
