Oh, baby, I know I know that you want to let your demons out But, baby, I know I know your still my friend and it won't happen again I doubt you won't run; Oh, run 'cause it's fun to see what I've become Baby, you know, you know I won't go because I told you so Darling, it's hazardous Killing a pacifist We'll be like Lazarus Love is a masochist Became too bad for this Often disastrous Love is a masochist I, I just don't want to see what I've turned out to be; It's killing me! It's a thought I won't grasp or the feeling won't last and I can't never leave. Darling, it's hazardous Killing a pacifist We'll be like Lazarus Love is a masochist Became too bad for this Often disastrous Love is a masochist Love is a masochist Love is a masochist We'll be like Lazarus Love is a masochist

Cry Baby 03:44
I remember when we were just kids, What with all the dangerous things we did I remember he and I, we weren't just friends He broke my heart and f**ked my head I remember the time we burned my bed and all the crazy s**t we did; I know that I cried when he did depart He f**ked my head and broke my heart Cry, baby, cry; It's just so sad. He's letting go; can you feel that? Run baby, run; No matter how fast You chase him down He won't come back... So sad... Over time, it just didn't last and what I thought we had did pass; I fell to muddy dirt and grass I watched him through this house of glass I decided that I was coming back To take him off his deadly tracks Only to discover that he'd finally slipped down through the cracks Oh no... It's so sad... Oh no... Can you feel that...? Cry, baby, cry; It's just so sad. He's letting go; can you feel that? Run baby, run; No matter how fast You chase him down He won't come back...

Drowned. 03:27
Cast me not away for I have come in peace. You don't have to be afraid of something as small as me. Hold me closer now; I can't breathe. Tell me you love me, baby. (No air, no air) (It's hard to breath) Gasp. I can't be sad, my baby's bad! This kick is the best one I've had. You turn me on You tear me out Is this what is? Now I have drowned. Do I not astound you? Am I still incomplete? Am I really that person that you don't want to meet? Tell me you love me, baby. (No air, no air) (It's hard to breath) I can't be sad, my baby's bad! This kick is the best one I've had. You turn me on; You tear me out. Is this what is? Now I have drowned. You tear me out! It's what it is. Now I have drowned.

Push Me! 03:08
He was a bad one; I can feel it. When I look in his eyes, I can see it. Everybody else acts oblivious. If you really want to dance, then bring it! Beat the drum, wield the axe; unstring it. All the evidence was hanging from the ceiling, it was impossible to tell what I was feeling. If you push me, then I'll attack; You took my heart, now give it back! You swing at me, it all went black. You took my heart, now give it back! Give it back! Give it back! Give it, give it, give it, give it Oh, why leave so soon? Stay awhile. Here I thought you were enchanted by the vile. I found you kicking and screaming like a child. I picked you up, brushed you off, and smiled. If you push me, then I'll attack; You took my heart, now give it back! You swing at me, it all went black. You took my heart, now give it back! Push me. Push me. Push me. Push me. If you push me, then I'll attack; You took my heart, now give it back! You swing at me, it all went black. You took my heart, now give it back! I can't make up for what you lack; You narcissistic maniac! If you push me, then I'll attack. You took my heart, now give it back!

The Well 03:20
Oh, I remember when I fell into the deep and ominous well. Oh, I recall calling out for help; I scream, I shout, I save myself. You won't be with me anymore. You won't forgive me anymore. Two words could be used to describe how it felt to fall so deep in love with the self; outrageous arrogance and doubt. A paradoxical devout. You won't be with me anymore. You won't forgive me anymore. Be with me, honey. You won't forgive me anymore. You won't be with me, honey. You won't forgive me anymore. I wasn't going to impress anybody. Good for nothing.

In my defense, I didn't stand a chance against what's vile, wicked, and docile It makes me wonder for what do I hunger; absurdist violence or eternal silence? All I ever wanted was to escape from where I am; but, I'm trapped inside a moving house of glass. I waited for hours under celestial towers for a sign from Apollo; a path I must follow They did not hear me; the gods did not come near me. For all they saw in my pleading was human greed; a poppy grown much too big for its seed All I ever wanted was to escape from where I am; but, I'm trapped inside a moving house of glass. All the words ever written cannot describe what holds me back. I am trapped inside a moving house of glass.

Well I wish there was someone Well I wish there was someone to love me When I used to be someone, I knew there was someone that loved me As I sit here frozen alone, Even ghosts get tired and go home as they crawl back under the stars... I wish there was something; Please tell me there's something better. I wish there was something more than this saturated loneliness... I wish I could feel it and I wish I could steal it, abduct it, corrupt it... But I never can; it's just saturated loneliness. Does the silence get lonely? Does the silence get lonely? Who knows? I've been hearing it tell me I've been hearing it tell me, "Go home." The freaks are playing tonight; They've gone and turned out the lights... I wish there was something; Please tell me there's something better. I wish there was something more than this saturated loneliness... I wish I could feel it and I wish I could steal it, abduct it, corrupt it... But I never can; it's just saturated loneliness. I wish there was something; Please tell me there's something better. I wish there was something more than this saturated loneliness...

Is it yet waking hour? What is in store for me? Each day is getting darker; it's painful to see. I can't ever win at this game. I never had the skills to play. When will you finally come back and tell me it's over-due? When will you finally come back? It isn't the same without you. Holding on with these hands; too cumbersome for me. I wish I could just stand, alone out in the sea. I won't ever swim the ocean waves; I never had the words to say. When will you finally come back and tell me it's over-due? When will you finally come back? It isn't the same without you. Move on. Fall back. Take this. Take that. Move on; so far. Bad life; sad heart. I won't ever find someone who's like me, I never found any affinity. When will you finally come back and tell me it's over-due? When will you finally come back? It isn't the same without you. When will I ever go there? When will I pass beyond the veil that hides the other side? Will they miss me when I'm gone?

Vanity Hill 03:30
You don't remember; I'd hang on every word you'd say. But something, it kept me isolated and ashamed... You spoke then to just me; I knew the time but not the place. You told me you'd love me; You lied straight to my face. The hearts that you break and the things you feel. The people you hate and the things you steal. The bones you shake and the blood you spill. Those dice you played on Vanity Hill. I often would ponder: Which curse compelled you if not I? I made a decision: I choose you over a good life. I wrote you to tell you: "Meet me to be free of this place! It hurts but we'll go there". I lied straight to his face. The hearts that you break and the things you feel. The people you hate and the things you steal. The bones you shake and the blood you spill. Those dice you played on Vanity Hill. The songs you write without true intent. The ghosts at night and the ones who wept. With the spinning of time on the fortune wheel. The people you hate and the things you steal. The bones I shook and the joy I kill. Those lives I took on Vanity Hill.

In the cemetery, I set fire to Juliet. I watched her burn down, but I never left; Since all I could think of was the way the light looked in her eyes. The vision passed and I cleared my head. I turned around and left her for dead. I just couldn't bear to watch the light leave her eyes. Leave her eyes… I almost fled for the rest of the world, Yet, it was like I began to burn with her. I didn't feel anything at all while the fire choked the remains. The ashes slowly began to spread. They ate up the grave, the grass, and Juliet. I danced along with the flames; they burned my skin again. Dying… I'm dying… I'm dying. I felt my heart slowly start to decay. Her fingernails scrapped me and I prayed for rain. There's no other place I'll ever be than watching Juliet burn away. The wind grew faster and the flames were hot. My mind was dead and I left spot where the fires have burning for days, and days… and days…

Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you'll make a dream last But dreams come slow, and they go so fast You see her when you close your eyes Maybe one day, you'll understand why Everything you touch surely dies But you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go Staring at the ceiling in the dark Same old empty feeling in your heart 'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast Well, you see her when you fall asleep But never to touch and never to keep 'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep Well, you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go You let her go, oh no You you let her go, oh no. You let her go, oh no You you let her go, oh no. 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go
