1. Accidents
Not sure what's worse
The waiting or the waiting room
"You're next, sir"
Becomes a cruel taunt to you
Recycled air
The smell of sleep and disinfectant
Your God is
A two-door elevator
Do they even cure you?
(Cut me open, drug me)
Or is it just to humour us before we die?
(Repair all my defects)
If only we could heal ourselves
We wouldn't need to be
Hooked up to these machines
Whoa whoa whoa...
Let's redefine [6x]
What it means to heal!
Do they even cure you?
(Cut me open, drug me)
Or is it just to humour us before we die?
(Repair all my defects)
If only we could heal ourselves
We wouldn't need to be
Hooked up to these machines
Whao whoa whoa...
2. Control
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it is present
You say that you're in control
You say that you are
I can't think of a time
When you looked less alive
You said, "Wait until light, my dear"
Just wait until light
One more day will go by
Maybe today you should try
Look past the mirror and find
Look past the mirror
That there's something inside
Something more to your life
My words won't heal you now
My words won't heal
It is you who decides
It is you who decides
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
I assure you
Believe that you are just fine
Believe that you are
You'll feel so alive
You'll feel so alive
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
That hate will not subside
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
That hate will not subside
It's you, decide
It's you, decide
So alive
So alive
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure, I assure you
This burden's not a heavy one
Not a heavy one
Not a heavy one
3. It Was Fear Of Myself That Made Me Odd
Breathe in all the air
Spinning, arms spread
Crushing the tops of mountains
With my hands
As I dive into the Pacific
I flood the shorelines
And I exhale
Causing the oceans' endless waves
As I emerge
Shaking the wreckage from my hair
With my hands
I want to breathe
Life into the Dead Sea
As this rainforest
Falls beneath my knees
I want to breathe
Life into the Dead Sea
Below, where is your boat?
You are slow, you are slow
I will play, the sky is black
Breathe in all the air
Exhale and choke the land with carbon
From where I stand
I can see the curvature of the Earth
And I want to make it flat
I will play, the sky is black
I will play, the sky is black
4. Side Walk When She Walks
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Now I'm afraid of open water
But I often bathe in sin
Let's be honest, you know you shouldn't bother
'Cuz with me, it's impossible to win
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just...
There was always
Warmth between us
There was always
Warmth between us
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size.
5. Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama
The sky is blue, the grass is brown
My head is buried inside this helmet
And the ever present threat of parasites
So take my hand, let's get these motors running!
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife
We don't fear [5x]
These machines
I got the scoop, I got the scoop
And it doesn't look so good, so good for you
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife
Like a knife, like a knife, yeah
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife.
6. No Transitory
I'm in a constant state of getting cut
So why don't I feel anything?
This is a violation
Maybe I forgot what it was like
Before it entered me
So this is what they call
Another endless night
So tired of believing
If this is wrong or right
I think this cause is lost
I wish that I could sleep
I feel like some kind of shadow
Another slave to the week
Imagine if we lived
Under the weather
We would never be found
Never discovered
If everything goes wrong
If it's one more endless night
You know there always tomorrow
And tomorrow...
They'll know there's always tomorrow
And this knife, this knife
It is my most important appendage
So now that your whole world
Has gone into flames
This night is still never ending
Do you think you're still safe?
Seems everything went wrong
We were discovered
But this time there's no tomorrow
And tomorrow...
And this knife, this knife.
7. Sharks And Danger
St. Catherines Psychiatric Help Line, this is Nancy...
Ummm...I'm not exactly sure how to go about explaining this...
What's been happening over the road...
You know, I've been kinda keeping correspondance to my parents for a while...
But I'm starting to get the feeling that...throughout (?) the letter writing process...
Like, uh...like, the letters, they just keep getting shorter and shorter...
And uh...I'm starting to get the feeling that...
That maybe one day all the letters will stop coming...all together
Maybe I'll start asking myself all kinds of stupid questions...
As life hangs beside me
I gather all that I can
You were never one for confrontation
But now it lies all in your hands
...Like...like, what if there's, what if there's a spot on my body
You know to touch, like, by my heart, you know
You know, like, if we were to launch (?) rockets in space and it's like
What's the point of, like, my house and the next offices?
Like, you know, what am I supposed to do, you know?
I don't know, all these stupid questions going through my head, like, all the time
Like what if, I had some inoperable form of cancer in my brain, you know, I'm keepin' alive
You know, what if, what if there is a God and I'm completely in trouble, like?
You know...who am I kidding?
You understand what I'm saying?
It's not a joke, I'm not joking, not a joke
Who will dare to be irrational
Who will be there...
We're running out of options...
Who will be useful...
I'm going insane
I can't think anymore
I don't know what to tell you...
Do you see where I'm coming from?
See what I'm trying to say?
Do you see what I'm trying to tell you? (fades)
....
Who will be there to tell
Me how stupid I am? [4x]
Who will keep me from lashing out? (lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire (razor wire)
Who will keep me from lashing out? (lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire (razor wire)
I... (can't penetrate the crowd)
And anxiety chokes me like...
(Now it's all in your hands)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire
...Razor wire
8. That Girl Possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed
Who knew her legacy would destroy her future?
You had such promise before your rape
You had such promise before your rape
Born innocent but something had to give
Exploitation, erotica and horror
Even a spread in Oui magazine
And then your habit of getting caught
What a frightful night
Born innocent but something had to give
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could see past it
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could...
They can't see past it
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed.
9. White Devil
Hey kids, we got a new white devil
And it goes in your fucking nose
That's right, we got a new white devil
This is how the story goes
Story goes
Watch out!
Glorify, glamorize
Try to forget your sunken eyes
Your dead fad is a disaster
Your fashion is my fucking cancer
Not so fun when your nose is sore
Bloody Kleenex all over the floor
But don't worry, who gives a shit?
All your friends will think you're really hip
Your dead fad is a fucking disaster
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in, yeah [7x]
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in this year
Looks so good
Convulsing on the floor, ya sugar!
And the blood from your nose
Matches your lipstick shade
Look what you have become
White devil, white devil, white devil [3x]
White devil [8x]
10. Get Fighted
So make sure you love
Like you've never been hurt
And when you dance, dance
Like there's no one watching you
You can waste your time
(Redefining the day that music died)
Or you can spend your life
(Guilt free and ostracized)
'Cuz all the fashion
(In the world won't save you now)
(It's something, I'll write it down for you)
Oh, 'cuz this shit's not about pants
And this shit's not about shirts
And this shit's definitely not about hair
This shit is 'bout having a good fucking time
Maybe the music isn't dead
Maybe the music isn't dead
Maybe we just forgot how it fucking sounded like
Don't lose hope
Don't...don't!
You can waste your time
(Redefining the day that music died)
Or you can spend your life
(Guilt free and ostracized)
'Cuz all the fashion
(In the world won't save you now)
(It's something, I'll write it down for you)
My greatest gift to you
Is a dance floor
Free from insecurity
(It's so you will rise).
11. Happiness By The Kilowatt
So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong
So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this?
