Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)

hey pig
yeah you
hey pig piggy pig pig pig
all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones you left me here
i'm all alone my little piggy needed something new
nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
hey pig
nothing's turning out the way I planned
hey pig there's a lot of things I hoped
you could help me understand
what am I supposed to do I lost my shit because of you
nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
nothing can stop me now
you don't need me anymore

The Art Of Self Destruction, Part One

 

---

Self Destruction (Part Two)

I am the voice inside your head and I control you
I am the lover in your bed and I control you
I am the sex that you provide and I control you
I am the hate you try to hide and I control you

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
mr self destruct

I speak religion's message clear and I control you
I am denial guilt and fear and I control you
I am the prayers of the naive and I control you
I am the lie that you believe and I control you

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
mr self destruct

I am the needle in your vein and I control you
I am the high you can't sustain and I control you
I am the pusher i'm a whore and I control you
I am the need you have for more and I control you

I am the bullet in the gun and I control you
I am the truth from which you run and I control you
I am the silencing machine and I control you
I am the end of all your dreams and I control you

I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
mr self destruct

Hurt (Quiet)

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Eraser (Polite)

need you
dream you
find you
taste you
use you
scar you
fuck you
break you

need you
dream you
find you
taste you
use you
scar you
fuck you
break you

need you
dream you
find you
taste you
use you
scar you
fuck you
break you

10 Miles High

[Vinyl version only]

I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
All the time,
I'm getting closer,
All the time,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
All the time,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
I'm getting closer,
I tried to get so high,
I made it 10 miles high,
I'm gonna get so high,
I'm gonna get so high,
You'll never get inside,
I swore I'd never turn into you,
I'm going to all the time,
I made it 10 miles high,
If you're not truthfull I'm not a lie,
I swore to god I would never turn into you,
I'm getting closer,
All the time.
Tear it all down.
