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 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.
God money's not looking for the cure.
God money's not concerned with the sick among the pure.
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God money's not one to choose.
No you can't take it.
No 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.

Terrible Lie
Hey God, why are you doing this to me?.
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?.
Why am I seething with this animosity?.
Hey God, I think you owe me a great big apology.
Terrible lie.
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.
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.
Terrible lie.
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 need someone to hold on to.
I need someone to hold on to.
I need someone I need someone.
I need someone to hold on to.
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
Kind of 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.
Now I'm down in it.
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.
Now I'm down in it.
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.
I used to have something inside.
Now just this hole that's open wide.
I used to want it all.
I used to be somebody.
I'll cross my heart and hope to die.
But the needle's already in my eye.
And all the world's weight is on my back.
And I don't even know why.
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory.
I looked him right in the eye and said "good-bye".
I was up above it.
Now I'm down in it.
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 five 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 five it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified.
I am purified.
I am sanctified.
Inside you.
I'm just caught up in another of her spells.
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 five it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified.
I am purified.
I am sanctified.
Inside you.
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.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just to thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
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 thing is slowly taking me apart.
Gray would be the color, if I had a heart.
Come on tell me.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just to thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have.
In this place it seems like such a same.
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 to thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make it all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have.
I just want something I can never have.
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.
But 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.
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 my sentence.
Well I get what I deserve.
I'm just an effigy to be disgraced.
To be defaced.
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.
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.
That's 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.
That's what .
I get.
That's what I get.
That's what I get.
How could you turn us into this?.
After you just taught me how to kiss you.
I told you I'd never say good-bye.
Now I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry.
But that's what I get.
That's what I get.
That's what I get.
That's what I get.
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.
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.
Maybe I'm all messed up in you.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up in you.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
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.
Maybe I'm all messed up in you.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up in you.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
This is the only time I really feel alive.
This is the only time I really feel alive.
Ringfinger
Well you've got me working so heard 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.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
Sever flesh and bone.
And offer it to me.
You just left me nailed here.
Hanging like Jesus on this cross.
I'm just dying for your sins.
And aiding to the cause.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
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.
Promise carved in stone.
Deeper than the sea.
Sever flesh and bone.
And offer it to me.
Ringfinger.
