Animal instincts inside
I can’t hide
My face reveals everything I desire
I give in and race to the moonlight
You enticing thing
I can’t win
Against the hunger
Let me taste your sweet neurotic grace
Let me taste your sweet neurotic grace
Bright eyes like golden moons
They pierce my soul and they draw my blood
Deep down there’s a growl you arouse
I think it’s wild how you make me
Howl for you
Reject the flesh I’m captured in
Howl for you
Release the beast from hiding
Shapes shift in the night
Under the cover of darkness
No taming a primal exchange
I kinda like how you watch me
I kinda like how you watch me
Bite into you
Deep down there’s a growl you arouse
I think it’s wild how you make me
Howl for you
Reject the flesh I’m captured in
Howl for you
Release the beast from hiding
Whoa
This breed of strange
Silver restraints
Like a loup-garou
You, you make me
Howl for you
Howl for you
Howl

Burn
05:39
|
|

I wanna drive through a foreign wasteland
Spend the night in a sewer pipe
I wanna pick up you dirty riff raff
And let your breath travel up my thigh
I wanna make you shake and quiver
I wanna make the whole earth quake
Hand in hand, set the city on fire and
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
I wanna hijack a revolution
Smash faces with an activist
I wanna scream and writhe for hours
Give a fist to a capitalist
I can feel the temperature rising
It’s hot, so hot
Hand in hand, set the city on fire and
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
I wanna press against the silence
Stroke all your fears away
I wanna tie down your compliance
I wanna
I wanna strip off your reservations
Feel the yearning deep inside
I wanna taste that sweet sensation
I wanna
I wanna burn this mother down
I wanna burn this mother down
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
Restless and dizzied déjà vu
The words and images consumed
I wanna push it all away
Left with a melancholy rage
Scorches my soul, scorches my mind
The blaze is caught behind my eyes
Burn, I burn
Burn, burn, burn, I burn
Sit back, relax, and watch me burn

Jacqueline

She melts in the hands of the coldest men
When rejection closes in again
Jacqueline
She bases her worth on the attention
She gets when she just caves in
Jacqueline
Her relevance is her expense
A mousy thing, oh Jacqueline
A mannequin, oh Jacqueline
She clings to the words that are left unsaid
And she bites down on her tongue again
Jacqueline
She clutches her most sacred possession
As she falls into oblivion, oblivion, oblivion
Her relevance is her expense
Her relevance is her expense
A mousy thing, oh Jacqueline
A mannequin
Jacqueline
Jacqueline
A mannequin, Jacqueline
Jacqueline, Jacqueline

Broken
04:39
|
|

Staring at the glare of empty bottles in the room
It’s the emptiness that I consume
That’s how you left me here, depleted and alone
Not a single ounce left in my soul
Can’t eat, can’t speak
A whisper of myself
I’m broken
I’m trapped, I’ve cracked
Under the weight of you
I’m broken
Deceitful smiles in torn up photos on the floor
Sneer and mock me from below
Debilitated, in a paralytic hell
A shadow locked within this cell
Can’t eat, can’t speak
A whisper of myself
I’m broken
I’m trapped, I’ve cracked
Under the weight of you
I’m broken
You liked to get it up
While I was subdued
You liked me broken
Hey man, fuck you
You like to get it up
While I was subdued
You liked me broken
Hey man, fuck you
I wanna break
I wanna break through all the pain
I’ll break you
I’ll break you
I’ll break you
I’ll break you
I’ll break you
Hundreds of shards of mixed emotions held within
Cut deep and let the anger in
Tearing me open so I’m broken through and through
Unhinged, erratic, and unglued
Can’t eat, can’t speak
A whisper of myself
I’m broken
I’m trapped, I’ve cracked
Under the weight of you
I’m broken
Broken
Broken

Reflection
05:09
|
|

The gray of winter dulls the flame
And it’s fading
A vacant chill devoid of grace
Always waiting
To take my hand and lead me on
To places
Of mirrored caves and chambers
A little maze within myself
I’m face to face with soulless eyes, eyes
I hate to look into my eyes, eyes
There is no calm, there is no storm
Only memories
Of closing doors and curtains drawn
And the rambling
Of whats, and ifs, and buts
Fill the spaces
Between hypnotic chants
They echo within myself
I’m face to face with soulless cries, cries
I hate to look into my eyes, eyes
Searching for something in this life
To warm my bones
Searching for something in this life
To call my home
There must be something out there
It’s just the wind, it’s just the rain
Of a last word
A pessimistic piss parade
Marching backwards
To every foolish choice I’ve made
And I notice
That everywhere I look is my reflection
My reflection
Spinning out cos I took some time
If I breathe I’ll lose my mind
I can’t, I can’t sense the earth
All the hands that come and go
All the mouths that feed my woes
I can’t, I can’t be enough
Can’t run, there’s nowhere else
I can go to escape myself
I try, oh lord, I try
Fragments reflect the past
I’m always looking back
Into my eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes
I’m just a strange delusion
I’m just a substitution
I’m just a dark intruder
I’m just a self-abuser

Take back the fairy tales you spin into gold
The shit you spit and spin into gold
It’s as hollow as the straw in here
Little men all pretend, but they’re insincere
Take back the chores that you hang over our heads
The motives hanging over our beds
How brazen can your gazes be
All your petty needs you expect for free
Another deal is made
Taught not to misbehave
But don’t act timidly
This is our freedom
This is our freedom
If the kingly charm is to inflict harm
And a woman’s way is to feel dismay
Hear your inner plea and don’t act timidly
This is our freedom
This is our
Freedom, freedom, freedom
Tear out this page
Cos we’re not guessing your name
Tear out this page
Cos we’re not guessing your name
Tear out this page
Cos we’re not guessing your name, your name
Take back the bills that try to revoke our rights
The choices that you make out of spite
Your will to stand above us all
Let that ego hang, hang
This is our tale
Can you guess our names
Our names, our names
This is our tale
Can you guess our names
Our names, our names
Oh, can you guess our names

Savior

The sweat drops from my forehead
My god what have I started
I’ve fallen down to my knees
You caught the rhythmic motion
That lost me your devotion
Despite my desperate pleas
My savior
My savior
Has seen me sin
My little holy roller
My only shot in the dark
Your distance makes me shudder
Why can’t we just start over
Oh, say a prayer for me
My savior
My savior
Has seen me sin
My savior
My savior
Has seen me sin
My little holy roller
My only shot in the dark
My only light in the dark
My savior
My savior
Has seen me sin
My savior
My savior
Has seen me sin
My savior
My savior
Has seen me, seen me
Seen me, seen me, seen me, seen me sin

Tell me what I’m supposed to feel
Fill my heart with all your fears
And I’ll cast a line for my regrets
As I sink beneath your epithets
Tell me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
Tell me what to sacrifice
Tell me this is paradise
As you sift the goodness from the bad
Firmly clutching what you thought you had
Tell me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
Oh, I never meant to shut me in, shut me in, shut me
Oh, I never meant to shut me in, shut me in, shut me
And with the millionth door I tried
I finally found my battle cry
Call me selfish, stand aside
It’s time for living my own life
Tell me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
How could I run with you holding me
How could I win when I lost myself
How could you breathe in my secrecy
How could you stay with me
