Pick me up
Put me away
Leave the scabs on the side
Watch the old wounds decay
Our self esteem
Set to 'gorge'
I smile, a picture, I'm not so sure
Make a fist
Make a point
Make a voice
Breaking it down
See it all fall in
Breaking it down
See it all relapse
Building me up
Like a 'new skool' model
Tearing me down
Like a virgin queen
Looking back in time
When all this is memory
Looking back in time
What you did to yourself
Looking back in time
When all this is misery
Looking back in time
What you did to yourself
What you did to yourself
Down in the garden wide eyed and brave
Picking up the thorns we thought to save
Grow a little story put in my backbone
Settle me to sleep when the sap has dies
Once upon a time there was a little patience
Suffocate as surf washes life away
All we ever want is a 'happy ever after'
All we ever get is a 'far, far away'
Where are we
Where are we
Where are we
Ain't that a shame
Where are we
Ain't that a shame
Where are we
Look down on yourself
Look down on yourself
I'm just a tried and tested
But the method is sound
Don't let the words I hear forget
Or speak them allowed
I try my best and lest
I forget to begin
At least my ribs will still be open
When I'm sold off again
Look down on yourself
Look down on yourself
I say I love you
Cos words don't mean a thing
A fuck is all you'll ever be
She's cold and cut like stitches
On angels wings
I break her legs to keep her clean
She's my disease
I'm a grenade without a pin
A bitter pill ya can't taste
I'm as real as the ten commandments
Like the 'thank you' in rape
Look down on yourself
Look down on yourself
Look down on yourself
Look down
I don't think you're a bad imitation
Your whole life is a good illustration
Like a doll with painted eyes
You see everything but act surprised
Your love cost us to breathe subjugation
Let it rule with a crass consternation
I don't think our love is to question
We just need a reason why
Don't give me a reason to hate you
Don't give me a reason to hate you
Don't give me a reason to hate you now
Draw blood with the crayons you gave us
Fade out like stars in the break-up
Match words and pretend to believe
If it helps us sleep at night
Don't try to deny what you're thinking
We're in the water and we're already sinking
You broke my heart so I'll
Tear yours out
Fuck you
And all of your reasons (x3)
You never said that forever would take so long
I never knew that forever could take so long
I never knew forever could ever last that long
We're selling hope
And so hopeless to defy
Like kids it doesn't happen
If we close our eyes
So sell us defamation
It's our faith
Don't let the truth
Get in your way
Fatalistic and pathetic
Scarred
Isn't much
But it's who we are
You don't get this shit
And I know you never did
(Look at me now)
You don't get this shit
And I know you never did
(Look at me now)
How many times
Do I have to say this
You don't
Get this shit
Apply the make-up
To fade away the lines
Let it in
A state of mind
To win is failure
But to lose is to defy
Get ready to pretend
And mend my eyes
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
I wanna be myself
If what you see
Is all you could get
Take down in fear
And build on regret
If what you see is
All you could be
You get around
And found misery
I don't control you
All alone but I could show you
I don't control you
You can't learn a thing they told you
I don't control you
All alone, I could show you
I don't control you
This is what you wanna be
This is what what you think of me
Everything they take is free
Nothing that you wanna see
Everything you'd ever be
Nothing that you wanna be
Dont ya wish you were just like me
I will become the thing I
I will become the thing I
I will be
What I hate
I will become the thing I
I will become the thing I
I will be
What I hate
Cut from the inside
And found myself out
All that you are
Is all you could count
All that you are is
All you could be
You're nothing, fucked
And I'm still yet to be
I don't control you
All alone but I could show you
I don't control you
You can't learn a thing they tell you
I don't control you
All alone, I could show you
I don't control you
What I hate
Is me
Man got his hand by a crooked god
Pulling on the finger and wrapped and tied in knots
Man got his cross built of piety
Forever in the past and that's all we'll ever see
We can't wake and we blame it on fate
Living on a string we ourselves had to make
Man got his hand man got his gun
Man got his soul and I blame everyone
If you're not my friend
You're my enemy (x3)
Know your enemy
Sober and his lips are free from sin
Put it in a bottle and sell it back to him
Bitter and our hands are matted claws
Tearing at the dreams we built up into walls
Without us
Your life is
Just for show
Without us
Your life is
Just for show
Don't hate me
Don't break me
I'm just for show
I'm killing time just killing miseries these made up scenes of old
Not fit to burn not fit to have these times let my heart go cold
And stagnant mires of tears bought up on fears and so afraid alone
But does it matter after all
You don't care
About us (x2)
There you take me
There you break me
You were a mistake
I'm so low
So pale in light this imitated life we grew without a care
And made to fit and force the edges down until they're square
To put away our childhood fantasies to grow and feel the blame
But does it matter after all
You don't care
About us
You don't care
About us
Well this is something nothing could be
I didn't bother but it's fucking with me
I'd like to pick where it all went wrong
Well picking off the weak just moves it along
Ya gonna lose
Ya gonna lose
Not like you get to choose
To suffocate it is to take it away
I'd let you watch but it's you anyway
It's not enough to win
Ya gotta know you lose
I make it so
Ya don't get to choose
I can't live 'til
Everybody dies
I am your god
Ya spider veins crawling into my skin
Keep giving up 'til ya start to give in
What part of no don't you understand
Well I can't keep forgetting your pointless demands
Ya gonna lose
Ya gonna lose
Not like you get to choose
Debilitative and a short breath away
Take mate hate and everybody pays
Everybody dies
You're gonna lose
Cast with the lights off
Fixing on maybe
Better ever this
We're apes with ties in a halo
Peace is in the shell
In pieces we build our life
To live in is to give in
It's our right to defy
Passed off and pissed on
We sure when we're dead
Grow a better backbone
Just to discard the head
I could be a king nail me down once again
Nurture my ersatz lies that I grow as my friends
I want it all
I want it now
And I won't take
No for an answer
You wanted real is this real enough for you
I'm just like you
Pious liars crying
Cos they're better than you
Selling off ascension
And so sorry it's true
I could be someone
But they're all to blame
I could be a king but I
Don't know my name
Well I'm just like you (x2)
To be depraved is all the rage
But can you do it all
We make up scars and break our hearts
My tears are waiting to fall
Sell abuse to fit the use
Take time to make me numb
Ya sell the scene that ya said 'obscene' but I
I saw you come
I don't know nothing about this
I don't know nothing about this
I don't care
We're model friends to fit the trend
To fit to fuck to favour
So second hand and sampled bland
And set to be a saviour
A minutes set apart to get
Promises to Break
What I have is what I want and
What I want I take
Don't you wish you life was a little like this
Don't you wish you life was a little like this
Don't you wish your life was a little like this
Don't you wish your life
Give in to me
I'll fit your need
Tell me
Give in to me
I'll fit your need
Tell me
Give in to me
I'll fit your need tell me
Give in to me
I'll fit your need
Tell me
Tell me
