'"I'm someone else, I'm someone new, I'm someone stupid just like you!"'- Marilyn Manson, "Born Again"


"COMA WHITE"-MARILYN MANSON

THERE'S SOMETHING COLD AND BLANK BEHIND HER SMILE
SHE'S STANDING ON AN OVERPASS
IN HER MIRACLE MILE
(COMA):
"YOU WERE FROM A PERFECT WORLD
A WORLD THAT THREW ME AWAY TODAY
TODAY TO RUN AWAY."

A PILL TO MAKE YOU NUMB
A PILL TO MAKE YOU DUMB
A PILL TO MAKE YOU ANYBODY ELSE
BUT ALL THE DRUGS IN THIS WORLD
WON'T SAVE HER FROM HERSELF

HER MOUTH WAS AN EMPTY CUT
AND SHE WAS WAITING TO FALL
JUST BLEEDING LIKE A POLAROID THAT
LOST ALL HER DOLLS
(COMA):
"YOU WERE FROM A PERFECT WORLD
A WORLD THAT THREW ME AWAY TODAY
TODAY TO RUN AWAY."

A PILL TO MAKE YOU NUMB
A PILL TO MAKE YOU DUMB
A PILL TO MAKE YOU ANYBODY ELSE
BUT ALL THE DRUGS IN THIS WORLD
WON'T SAVE HER FROM HERSELF.

"SPADE"-MARILYN MANSON

THE BEAUTY SPOT WAS BORROWED AND
NOW MY SWEET KNIFE RUSTS TOMORROW.
I'M A CONFESSION THAT IS WAITING TO BE HEARD.

BURN YOUR EMPTY RAIN DOWN ON ME
WHISPER YOUR DEATHBEAT SO SOFTLY
WE BEND OUT KNEES
AT THE ALTER OF MY EGO.

YOU DRAINED MY HEART
AND MADE A SPADE
BUT THERE'S STILL TRACES OF ME
IN YOUR VEINS
YOU DRAINED MY HEART
AND MADE A SPADE
BUT THERE'S STILL TRACES OF ME
IN YOUR VEINS

ALL MY LILIES' MOUTHS ARE OPEN
LIKE THEY'RE BEGGING FOR DOPE
AND HOPING
THEIR BITTER PETAL CHANT,
"WE CAN KICK, YOU WON'T BE BACK."

I'M A DIAMOND THAT IS TIRED
OF ALL THE FACES I'VE ACQUIRED
WE MUST SECURE THE SHADOW
ERE THE SUBSTANCE FADES

YOU DRAINED MY HEART
AND MADE A SPADE
BUT THERE'S STILL TRACES OF ME
IN YOUR VEINS
YOU DRAINED MY HEART
AND MADE A SPADE
BUT THERE'S STILL TRACES OF ME
IN YOUR VEINS
AND WE SAID 'TIL WE DIE
AND WE SAID 'TIL WE DIE

"HURT"-NINE INCH NAILS

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 THIS CROWN OF SHIT
UPON MY LIAR'S CHAIR
FULL OF BROKEN THOUGHTS
I CANNOT REPAIR
BENEATH THE STAINS OF TIME
THE FEELINGS DISAPPEAR
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 WOULD LET YOU DOWN
I WOULD MAKE YOU HURT
IF I COULD START AGAIN
A MILLION MILES AWAY
I WOULD KEEP MYSELF
I WOULD FIND A WAY.

"THE ROSE"-- CONWAY TWITTY

SOME SAY LOVE, IT IS A RIVER
AND THAT IT DROWNS THE TENDER REED
AND SOME SAY LOVE, IT'S LIKE A RAZOR
AND THAT IT LEAVES YOUR SOUL TO BLEED.

SOME SAY LOVE, IT IS A HUNGER
AN ENDLESS ACHING NEED
I SAY LOVE, IT IS A FLOWER
AND YOU, IT'S ONLY SEED.

IT'S A HEART AFRAID OF BREAKING
THAT NEVER LEARNS TO DANCE
IT'S A DREAM AFRAID OF WAKING
THAT NEVER TAKES THE CHANCE
IT'S THE ONE WHO WON'T BE TAKEN
WHO CAN NOT SEEM TO GIVE
AND THE SOUL AFRAID OF DYING
THAT NEVER LEARNS TO LIVE

WHEN THE NIGHT HAS BEEN TOO LONELY
AND THE ROAD HAS BEEN TOO LONG
AND YOU THINK LOVE IS ONLY
FOR THE LUCKY AND THE STRONG
JUST REMEMBER IN THE WINTER
FAR BENEATH THE BITTER SNOWS
LIES THE SEED THAT WITH THE SUN'S LOVE
IN SPRING BECOMES THE ROSE...

"DREAMER"--OZZY OSBOURNE

GAZING THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THE WORLD OUTSIDE
WONDERING WILL MOTHER EARTH SURVIVE
HOPING THAT MANKIND WILL STOP ABUSING HER SOMETIME

AFTER ALL THERE'S ONLY JUST THE TWO OF US
AND HERE WE ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES
WATCHING ALL OF HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF
TIME AFTER TIME

I'M JUST A DREAMER
I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY
I'M JUST A DREAMER
WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS

I WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN LIKE EVERYONE OF US
I'M HOPING THAT THE DAWN WILL BRING A SIGN
A BETTER PLACE FOR THOSE WHO WILL COME AFTER US
THIS TIME

I'M JUST A DREAMER
I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY OH YEAH
I'M JUST A DREAMER
WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS

YOUR HIGHER POWER MAY BE GOD OR JESUS CHRIST
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER MUCH TO ME
WITHOUT EACH OTHERS HELP THERE AIN'T NO HOPE FOR US
I'M LIVING IN A DREAM OF FANTASY
OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

IF ONLY WE COULD ALL JUST FIND SERENITY
IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD LIVE AS ONE
WHEN WILL ALL THIS ANGER, HATE AND BIGGOTRY
BE GONE?

I'M JUST A DREAMER
I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY
TODAY
I'M JUST A DREAMER
WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS
OKAY
I'M JUST A DREAMER
WHO'S SEARCHING FOR THE WAY
TODAY
I'M JUST A DREAMER
DREAMING MY LIFE AWAY
OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

"MY IMMORTAL"--EVANESCENCE

I'M SO TIRED OF BEING HERE
SUPPRESSED BY ALL MY CHILDISH FEARS
AND IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
I WISH THAT YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE
BECAUSE YOUR PRESENCE STILL LINGERS HERE
AND IT WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE

THESE WOUNDS WON'T SEEM TO HEAL
THIS PAIN IS JUST TOO REAL
THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH THAT TIME CANNOT ERASE

WHEN YOU CRIED I'D WIPE AWAY ALL OF YOUR TEARS
WHEN YOU'D SCREAM I'D FIGHT AWAY ALL OF YOUR FEARS
AND I'VE HELD YOUR HAND THROUGH ALL OF THESE YEARS
BUT YOU STILL HAVE ALL OF ME

YOU USED TO CAPTIVATE ME
BY YOUR RESONATING LIGHT
BUT NOW I'M BOUND BY THE LIFE YOU LEFT BEHIND
YOUR FACE IT HAUNTS MY ONCE PLEASANT DREAMS
YOUR VOICE IT CHASED AWAY ALL THE SANITY IN ME

THESE WOUNDS WON'T SEEM TO HEAL
THIS PAIN IS JUST TOO REAL
THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH THAT TIME CANNOT ERASE

WHEN YOU CRIED I'D WIPE AWAY ALL OF YOUR TEARS
WHEN YOU'D SCREAM I'D FIGHT AWAY ALL OF YOUR FEARS
AND I'VE HELD YOUR HAND THROUGH ALL OF THESE YEARS
BUT YOU STILL HAVE ALL OF ME

I'VE TRIED SO HARD TO TELL MYSELF THAT YOU'RE GONE
AND THOUGH YOU'RE STILL WITH ME
I'VE BEEN ALONE ALL ALONG.

WHEN YOU CRIED I'D WIPE AWAY ALL OF YOUR TEARS
WHEN YOU'D SCREAM I'D FIGHT AWAY ALL OF YOUR FEARS
AND I'VE HELD YOUR HAND THROUGH ALL OF THESE YEARS
BUT YOU STILL HAVE ALL OF ME

"SEIZE THE DAY"--AVENGED SEVENFOLD

SEIZE THE DAY OR DIE REGRETTING THE TIME YOU LOST
IT’S EMPTY AND COLD WITHOUT YOU HERE, TOO MANY PEOPLE TO ACHE OVER

I SEE MY VISION BURN, I FEEL MY MEMORIES FADE WITH TIME
BUT I’M TOO YOUNG TO WORRY
THESE STREETS WE TRAVEL WILL UNDERGO OUR SAME LOST PAST

I FOUND YOU HERE, NOW PLEASE JUST STAY FOR AWHILE
I CAN MOVE ON WITH YOU AROUND
I HAND YOU MY MORTAL LIFE, BUT WILL IT BE FOREVER?
I’D DO ANYTHING FOR A SMILE, HOLDING YOU ‘TIL OUR TIME IS DONE
WE BOTH KNOW THE DAY WILL COME, BUT I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE YOU

I SEE MY VISION BURN, I FEEL MY MEMORIES FADE WITH TIME
BUT I’M TOO YOUNG TO WORRY (A MELODY, A MEMORY, OR JUST ONE PICTURE)

SEIZE THE DAY OR DIE REGRETTING THE TIME YOU LOST
IT’S EMPTY AND COLD WITHOUT YOU HERE, TOO MANY PEOPLE TO ACHE OVER

NEWBORN LIFE REPLACING ALL OF US, CHANGING THIS FABLE WE LIVE IN
NO LONGER NEEDED HERE SO WHERE DO WE GO?
WILL YOU TAKE A JOURNEY TONIGHT, FOLLOW ME PAST THE WALLS OF DEATH
BUT GIRL, WHAT IF THERE IS NO ETERNAL LIFE?

I SEE MY VISION BURN, I FEEL MY MEMORIES FADE WITH TIME
BUT I’M TOO YOUNG TO WORRY (A MELODY, A MEMORY, OR JUST ONE PICTURE)

SEIZE THE DAY OR DIE REGRETTING THE TIME YOU LOST
IT’S EMPTY AND COLD WITHOUT YOU HERE, TOO MANY PEOPLE TO ACHE OVER

TRIALS IN LIFE, QUESTIONS OF US EXISTING HERE, DON’T WANNA DIE ALONE WITHOUT YOU HERE
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WE HAVE IS REAL

SO, WHAT IS I NEVER HOLD YOU, YEAH, OR KISS YOUR LIPS AGAIN?
WOOOAAAH, SO I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE YOU AND THE MEMORIES OF US TO SEE
I BEG DON’T LEAVE ME

SEIZE THE DAY OR DIE REGRETTING THE TIME YOU LOST
IT’S EMPTY AND COLD WITHOUT YOU HERE, TOO MANY PEOPLE TO ACHE OVER

TRIALS IN LIFE, QUESTIONS OF US EXISTING HERE, DON’T WANNA DIE ALONE WITHOUT YOU HERE
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WE HAVE IS REAL

SILENCE YOU LOST ME, NO CHANCE FOR ONE MORE DAY (2X)
I STAND HERE ALONE
FALLING AWAY FROM YOU, NO CHANCE TO GET BACK HOME
I STAND HERE ALONE
FALLING AWAY FROM YOU, NO CHANCE TO GET BACK HOME

"THE KILL"--30 SECONDS TO MARS

WHAT IF I WANTED TO BREAK
LAUGH IT ALL OFF IN YOUR FACE
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
WHAT IF I FELL TO THE FLOOR?
COULDN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
WHAT WOULD YOU DO, DO, DO?

COME BREAK ME DOWN
BURY ME, BURY ME
I AM FINISHED WITH YOU

WHAT IF I WANTED TO FIGHT
BEG FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (DO, DO)
YOU SAY YOU WANTED MORE
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
I’M NOT RUNNING FROM YOU

COME BREAK ME DOWN
BURY ME, BURY ME
I AM FINISHED WITH YOU
LOOK IN MY EYES
YOU’RE KILLING ME, KILLING ME
ALL I WANTED WAS YOU

I TRIED TO BE SOMEONE ELSE
BUT NOTHING SEEMED TO CHANGE
I KNOW NOW, THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM INSIDE
FINALLY FOUND MYSELF
FIGHTING FOR A CHANCE
I KNOW NOW, THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM

COME BREAK ME DOWN
BURY ME, BURY ME
I AM FINISHED WITH YOU
LOOK IN MY EYES
YOU’RE KILLING ME, KILLING ME
ALL I WANTED WAS YOU

COME BREAK ME DOWN
BREAK ME DOWN
BREAK ME DOWN

WHAT IF I WANTED TO BREAK?

"I DON'T LOVE YOU"--MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

WHEN YOU GO
DON'T EVER THINK I'LL MAKE YOU TRY TO STAY
AND MAYBE WHEN YOU GET BACK
I'LL BE OFF TO FIND ANOTHER WAY

AND AFTER ALL THIS TIME THAT YOU STILL OWE
YOU'RE STILL THE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING I DON'T KNOW
SO TAKE YOUR GLOVES AND GET OUT
BETTER GET OUT
WHILE YOU CAN

WHEN YOU GO
WOULD YOU EVEN TURN TO SAY
"I DON'T LOVE YOU
LIKE I DID
YESTERDAY."

SOMETIMES I CRY SO HARD FROM PLEADING
SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE NEEDLESS BEATING
BUT BABY WHEN THEY KNOCK YOU
DOWN AND OUT
IT'S WHERE YOU OUGHTA STAY

AND AFTER ALL THE BLOOD THAT YOU STILL OWE
ANOTHER DOLLAR'S JUST ANOTHER BLOW
SO FIX YOUR EYES AND GET UP
BETTER GET UP
WHILE YOU CAN

WHEN YOU GO
WOULD YOU EVEN TURN TO SAY
"I DON'T LOVE YOU
LIKE I DID
YESTERDAY."

WHEN YOU GO
WOULD YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY
"I DON'T LOVE YOU
LIKE I LOVED YOU
YESTERDAY"

I DON'T LOVE YOU
LIKE I LOVED YOU
YESTERDAY

I DON'T LOVE YOU
LIKE I LOVED YOU
YESTERDAY.
