You plug me in and turn me on. Turn on me. I am your device of manufactures hope. You plug me into the wires and blood. I am your trophy wife shaking hands with your guests. Hi my name is "yours". The unfortunate ones will be spared. We are the industry. I'm sorry but your name is not on the list. Your results do not comply. Your ashes will fuel the machine. We are the industry. We are the birth and the death.

The telephone swallowed the child. This is the last time I say your name. The crackle and hiss from the walls. You smile like a catcholic in heat. Just don't forget what you've done. Just don't forget. This is the last time that I say your name. Forget the fuck away from me. The child is sleeping under the wires.

Waiting for the sun to set my wings ablaze. The show must go on. The funeral needs a star. Tonight I have become the gossip and the choir. The useless and the used. The one who reaches for her arms. I am denial. You are the one who fell from grace for them. Is there a reason why? The funeral needs a star. As you walk away for the last time could you hear my heart consumed behind you? As you turn your back from the dying did you feel the sun burn out inside you? You set my wings ablaze. You will run from familiar arms into their embrace. I hope they love you like I did when you needed me and I came to you that night.

Slowly we peel away the layers and the light seeps through the cracks. You whispered softly in my ear "the birth of morning's upon us, dear," the bandages fell upon the floor. And there was no one in that room. It's quiet down the hallway where the doctors washed their hands. Behind my eyes I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss. Your anesthetic voice is autographed upon my bones. This reception died in vein. In vain. A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface. A jealous daughter starves to death for the mother as I awaited your return. I wait for your return. It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive. Throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes. I'd give anything to feel alive. And I will wait for you tonight. The scalpel carves a map for you.

You are the teeth and lungs. Biting back and breathing in. Cracked like a frozen moon. The heat lamp seeps into the pores. This is your interrogation your fingerprints betray your eyes. Died on your honeymoon she made such a lovely bride. Left the door unlocked for you. The leeches took their turn. Deny. Your alibi was painted by a blind politician. Inside your swollen eyes sleeps a genius buried by miscalculations. You are the teeth and lungs. Biting back and breathing in. Your love is homicide. The queen is beckoning, get on your knees and beg for your life. You will pay the price. Close your eyes and die.

It's twelfth and Hide on a Sunday
Feeling like we're gold
We're nothing short of invincible

It starts again can you feel it
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that we're invincible

Around and round
You're uninviting and unrewarding
I'm misinforming you

We all want to be somebody
Right now we're just looking for the exit

This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall

It's you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now

You broke my heart again this time
You're fading now you crossed the line

Reaching out for a hand that's not there
But you're not there

Can you feel your heart beat racing?
Can you taste the fear in her sweat?
We've done this wrong we're too far gone
These sheets tell of regret
I admit that I'm just a fool for you

Here is where we both go wrong

Tonight's your last chance to do exactly what you want to
And this could be my night this is what makes me feel alive
Makes you feel alive

Here is where we both go wrong
So sign me up and toss the key cause for now we're living

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
It's all over
I feel your heart against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes

Your lungs have failed and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead it's way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
I'm scared you're scared we're scared of this
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes

Well look who's dying now slit wrists sleeping with the girl next door
I always knew you were such a sucker for that
It doesn't matter what you say
You never mattered anyway
I never mattered anyway

Don't shake I hate to see you tremble - trembling
You've lost your touch haven't you?
And I'm so addicted

this is just the in between
the point where worries can shatter dreams
this is that look like i'm going to throw it all away
this is infatuation's best kept secret
and those are the hovering eyes that glide and glare
so not another word of this conscious bending conversation
i'll find it before i revolve around the tips of their tongues

sleep never comes quick enough to protect us
there is no shelter in the present from the ghosts of the past
like well driven nails
memories dig their claws in our backs
revealing our black hearts
unable to forgive ourselves
our parched mouths only pray for rain
and only the clouds bear witness as we wither away

we drove these streets heads to shoulders
existing to tell the tales of letting go
and now we're strangled to tears on the fallback farewell
it's all in our heads
the faint whispers
i tried to tell myself when it's already over
that the reasons found decoys
and this is holding me back
as if to say what you thought you heard
i wish i did
i don't want to feel this pull as this city becomes home without you

someone called your shot
just from the other side
the self made rival you are
i thought i caught you breathing
it was just the sound of me laughing
modern day eyes locked arm in arm with cosmo queens
turning heads
then their backs
trying to find the polarized version of their obsession
this is how to escape the horizon, curled up and frozen still
it's the tilt of the hour glass
and we're slowly thinking, waiting, and waking

hopelessly adrift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real never know how i
wanted to feel never quite said what i wanted
to say to you never quite managed the words to
explain to you never quite knew how to make
them beleivable and now the time has gone
another time undone hopelessly fighting the
devil futility feeling the monster climb deeper
inside of me feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily i'll never lose this pain never dream of you again

Oh i miss the kiss of treachery the shameless
Kiss of vanity the soft and the black and the
Velvety up tight against the side of me and
Mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in
Thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it
Starts the need to just let go my party piece
Oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss
Before i feed the stench of a love for a younger
Meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts
In deep the holding up on bended knees the
Addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts
The need to just let go my party piece

But i never said i would stay to the end so i
Leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over i leave
You with photographs pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew how the ending would
Be...

So it's all come back round to breaking apart
Again breking apart like i'm made up of glass
Again making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again cut in deep
To the heart of the bone again round and round
And round and it's coming apart again over and
Over and over

Now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
I'll Pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
crocodile cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye through the eye
Of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to
heaven than ever feel whole again

I never said i would stay to the end i knew
I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over i leave
You with photographs pictues of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams when
both of us knew how the end always is...

how the end always is...

you shatter me your grip on me a hold on me
so dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of
hopelessness and prayers for rain i suffocate i
breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate
and drab the hours all spent on killing time
again all waiting for the rain
you fracture me your hands on me a touch so
plain so stale it kills you strangle me entangle
me in hopelessness and prayers for rain i
deteriorate i live in dirt and nowhere glows but
drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing
time again all waiting for the rain
