These hands are scarred
From years of abuse
Look into my eyes
See nothing of use
I'm from a place
Where there are dreams
But never love
Still I know of those who never left
If you were smarter I'm sure you'd see
We do things a bit different out here, son
You'd better wise up and fuckin fast
Or you won't even get a chance to run

Gather around children
I've got a tale for you
Witness here this young man and
What he's about to do
Don't you cover your eyes
Don't you dare turn away
This pornographic image
Is your future and it begins today
I am the collosus
I am the dream eater
I will take you over and
Make you so much weaker
So this is what you have done with all of your precious time
Stood there at the window and watched as your life passed you by
Done is done, you cheated and it is only right
So don't you try to live when it's your time to die
How could you spend all of your time here
Running around like you had so long
To live your life like you wanted dear
You never heeded my song
Nothing to do now except sit and wait to die but
You'd never ask a dead man "What is it like to be alive?"
When the horrors go down
I'll send you screaming outside
Into infinity
I never dreamed I'd see your insides
You only laugh to keep the wolves at bay
But I am the wolf
I am misery
I am the vulture
I will take away
All that you love
You won't see me coming
I am the vulture
I will feast upon you
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
You won't get away
Gather around children
I've got a moral for you
If you give in to this pain
Then you are fucking through

Prey For Me
03:10

Personally I prefer the traditional method
It only hurts for a few minutes but it gets such amazing results
Such beautiful wings sprout from her soul
If you don't do it now you never will
I don't think you can appreciate the importance of this situation
I woke up right here with these red stains on my shirt
I am afraid I might have had a slip up
I've committed a horrible sin
I belong beneath the ground
My anger and soul should be put down
I shouldn't be alive and I fucking know it
I have no illusions of hope
No looking forward to a beautiful life
No way to be part of society
So I will sit here and bide my time
Waiting here for my turn to die
I'm sorry but I can't take this back
So as I take these final breaths
I hope you take solace in my death
And now I watch my world grow black
This is the sweetest price that I will ever have to pay
Because today my whole world will fade away
Personally I prefer the traditional method
But now I'm all alone

Facelift

You were the one who gave me
Everything I had to give
You were the reason I had to live
And I only had you to thank
For my new outlook on life
What a shithole we were in
I never thought that it would end
And I will do the dance of the dead
You came along and you made me lose my head
You gave me what I thought was a gift
Now I'm trapped here and my face I cannot lift
I knew by the end of it all
You were only here to bring me down
I just wanted to see what it was to be alive
And I will do the dance of the dead
You came along and you made me lose my head
You gave me what I thought was a gift
Now I'm trapped here and my face I cannot lift
If I didn't know I was in Hell before
The mark has been made now
You got away by the skin of your teeth
And I will do the dance of the dead
You came along and you made me lose my head
You gave me what I thought was a gift
Now I'm trapped here and my face I cannot lift

Bright eyes would recognize when they're waist deep in shit
And when they know that they're drowning in it
A turnaround would seem imminent
So why are you standing there
Like nothing is wrong
Just humming a song
That I wrote for you
So fucking long ago?
I know that I'm not easy to deal with
I know that I'm insensitive
I know, love, I've struggled with it
But for you to be the bitch
Is just a bit too much
I could savor your touch
But I can't be bothered
So fucking fuck off
I apologize for nothing I've done
Stop fucking breathing
I wish you could see your face
Don't be sorry
You're the one who made me choose
It's not my fault
I could not see you in the long haul
You said that you could read my soul
By reading what's on my mind
By listening to the words that came
From my fucking lips
It's a lie
This whole time
I could have been telling you
Every little thing you never wanted to hear
Hiding it behind a smile and "I love you, dear"
I know that it's something you've done too
Do me a favor
Don't pretend that your
Halo ain't held up by horns
Don't say that you're content
When you're fucking bored
Is it any wonder
That I pushed you away
When all you do
Is weather my soul?

I am fed up with wasting so much time on you and
I have no hope for us to make amends
And you still act like I slapped you in the face
When I stood my ground with you
You have all the virtues I despise
And none of the vices I admire
I would rather kiss a chainsaw
Than let you get any further
And if I get lucky
One day I may forget your name
You made me into what I am
I suppose I should thank you for this
That doesn't mean that I am still your friend
Honestly, to me, you are fucking faceless
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on
Because if I'm gonna hurt this much
I'm gonna do it to myself

It gets lonely in the cold
When all your tales have been told
Nobody thought you'd get this far
It's too bad it was all in vain
I gave up so much for this
I told myself I'd never quit
I never thought I'd get this far
It's too bad it was all in vain
Years have gone by and I
Have slipped so far down with nothing left to hold onto
Down into a place where they play
The dreams of the hopeful but are always drowned just the same
So you'd better learn to pick yourself up
Dust yourself off and stitch up the seams
This is just one day in a lifetime
It's just the failure to fulfill your dreams
My passion gives me something to live for
And I know that without this I will surely die
I hope someone recalls me
That my name won't just fade away
This black water takes me down
In it I watch my dreams drown
I can't get up anymore
I am too fucking sore
I can't move on anymore
I have nothing to live for

Your enemies will hug you
Your friends will stab your back
Your love will come to hate you
Your white will become black
Try to fuck with me I fucking dare you
I'll make sure you fucking bleed
Wipe off your makeup
I can see right through you
You thought I was playing
When I told you to get out
When I told you to fuck off
I was dead serious
I promise you
If you try me
I will break you
Choke you to death
You try to hold on
But it tears you off
And at the end of it all
Your hands are empty
You get fake tears
And two empty words
And a ton of pain
That wasn't there before
Try to fuck with me I fucking dare you
I'll make sure you fucking bleed
I'll show you how much people suck
It'll be enough to make you scream
Beneath the makeup
Your secrets shine through
You're a fucking whore
That cheap mask can't hide the truth

The Lobotomist

I say such inaccurate things
Regardless of what they may bring
Don't believe anything that I say
You should be smart enough to stay away
I wish you could see your face now
Go ahead try to bring me down
All that's good
Is destroyed
Oh my god this is unbelievable
Everything is so corruptible
Oh my god this is unbelievable
Everyone is so disposable
In the silence I can be loud
I can piss off everyone that's around
I can take your common sense away
My moral fiber will lead you astray
So look around do you like what you see
I'll show you things that were not meant to be
Don't try to stop me or I will lash back
Make life living hell then sit back and laugh
What will it take to get through
That this is not about you
In a land that nobody owns
You are and will be forever alone
I have a way that I seek it out
Troubled lives and trouble abound
Twist and torture for my own pleasure
We'll make a meal out of any treasure
You have an image of yourself
You push it on everyone else
If they were to find out the truth
You know it would be the end of you

You see when
You look into my eyes

But Sunrise Never Came

I may be standing on my own two feet
But for how long
I may be making my own way in the world
But not for long
I find I'm sick and tired of living like this
Of staring into my own eyes
I've seen the wretches this life can produce
I see one in my mirror
And if by the end of the night
I'm still slipping with no end in sight
I'll consider conceding the fight
And I may give up the ghost
So would it break your fucking heart
If I tore myself apart
I am my own terminal disease
I just want to wait and see
I draw the curtains tight
Until day becomes night
I don't want to see your face
I don't want to leave this place
Broken in your arms
I have been finding
This life I am living
Is killing me
Tell me to wake up
There's nothing but malice
Just leave me be
I have been running
From something inside me
And I can't breathe
Torn on the inside
Find me on the floor
And I can't see
So after all I gave to you
You couldn't bring yourself to go on
I just wish there was more I could do
But you seem so content to be gone
Did you know that the words you said
Kept playing over in my head
And they tore right through
Through my heart
Look into my eyes and see
I'm a different man than the one you loved
Look into my eyes and see
I'm a different man than the one you knew
And I do not want you to cry
I'm doing my best with this fucking life
Just know that tomorrow is another day
Another chance for things to go my way
But I am not enough
I have been finding this life I am living
Is killing me
But why should I suffer when I by myself
Hold the key
