- Beside You In Time
I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it's you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through
And all this goes on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
This goes on
- closer
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me Ive got no
Soul to tell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get
Away from myself
I want to f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
- Discipline
Am I - Am I still tough enough?
Feels like I'm wearing down, down, down, down, down
Is my viciousness,
Losing ground, ground, ground, ground, ground?
Am I taking too much?
Did I cross the line, line, line?
I need my role in this
Very clearly defined

- God Given
Hey man, please don't make a sound
Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you
Have a little taste, no more time to waste
You don't wanna get left behind
Cause it's all coming down right now
How hard is it to see
Put your faith in me
- head down
You
What you looking at?
Head down
Too late for that
What you want
What you get
Know your place
Don't ever forget
- 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.
[Bridge:]
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
- Hurt
I hurt myself today,
To see if I'd 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.
- I Wanna Fuck You Like An Animal
you let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you
help me
i broke apart my insides
help me
- 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
I'm down to just one thing
- The Fragile
She shines
in a world full of ugliness
She matters
when everything is meaningless
Fragile
She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
- the hand that feeds
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
