broken

the clock ticks down the time draws near
you already know what you don't want to hear
you can't solve this puzzled mind
you've never lost (there's always a first time)

don't look back when you are free
everything will burn with me
i am set on self-destruct
and the clock ticks down
my time has come

5...4...3...2...1

just run
just run from me

i never lied i warned you then
once more i try and i fail again
all the hell that i put you through
see what have i done to you

i'm killing you, you must believe
i will drag you down with me
i am set on self-destruct
and the clock ticks down
5...4...3...2...1

just run
just run

i am eating you alive
save yourself because you can't save me
you can fool yourself but tell me...
at what price salvation?

at what price salvation?
tell me at what price salvation?
tell me at what price salvation?
save yourself because you can't save me

i never lied i warned you then
once more i try and i fail again
all the hell that i put you through
dear god what have i done to you?

i'm killing you, you must believe
i will make you burn with me
i am set on self-destruct
5...4...3...2...1

just run
just run

i am eating you alive
at what price will my salvation be?
you can save yourself
but you can't save me

at what price salvation?
tell me at what price salvation?
tell me at what price salvation?

save yourself because you can't save me

you can't save me
you can't heal me
you can't help me
you can't fix me
i am

broken
scary kitty

crouched in a corner
you patiently stalk me
you watch in silence
you wait for me

slinking through shadow
you think that i don't know
coiled and twitching
the tension is maddening

wanting to claw me
to leap out and maul me
scratch me bite me
love me fight me
you fear yet adore me
but still want to claw me

under the table
behind a chair
you watch me with your cold stare
i am the mouse
you prey upon me
i got to hide from
scary kitty

you're purring so sweetly
whenever you greet me
then without warning
you're vicious and clawing

scratch me bite me
love me fight me
rip me tear me
stalk me scare me
bite me scratch me
try to catch me

did you miss me?
why won't you kiss me?
did you miss me?
won't you kiss me?

under the table
behind a chair
you watch me with your cold stare
i am the mouse - i slink
you prey upon me
i got to hide from
scary kitty

 

belief

once when i had faith in the world
i thought people got what they deserved
i was so young and so naïve

now i've grown i've changed my mind
the world and god are really not that kind
but still i clung to my beliefs

still i believed

but when only a stone says you were here
(has it been that long?) these years
have passed but i'm still in disbelief

in disbelief

and all the times i've been betrayed
they take my soul and they throw it away
and once again i am deceived

and i bleed
i bleed

you tell me what is justified
how fair is love or war when children die?
is there no hope and no relief?

when right is oft repaid with wrong
i guess the meek will never beat the strong
so much for faith and my beliefs

do i believe?
i believe...

i believe
i believe
i believe in what i see

do i believe?

in two

i am split in two

sometimes i want to be a saint
i wanna wallow in my sleaze
one minute i'm a goddess
and the next a bitch, diseased
today i want to save the world
and tomorrow watch it burn
i come by my lessons painfully
then forget all that i've learned
when i want to

i want to i want to when i want to i want to

i know what i want i want everything
i know what i want i want nothing

i want to make you happy
then beat the smile from your face
i will become your downfall
and your saving fucking grace
i want to be a virgin
i want to fuck you 'til you bleed
i will worship you then spit in your face
i don't want who i need
but i want you

i want you i want you when i want you i want you

i know what i want i want everything
i know what i want i want nothing

i wish for happiness
when my mind becomes my hell
but sometimes there's comfort in my pain
'cause i know it so well
i want to slay the demons
that still haunt me day and night
but sometimes i'm grateful for my fear
it reminds me i'm alive
but i hate to

i hate to i hate to
but i hate to be afraid
no matter who you think you see
it's only ever half of me
inside my head is deafening
please help me

all i want is for this to stop i need all this to stop all i want is for this to stop i need all this to stop please god just make it stop god damn it never stops fuck me just make it…

and i pray
for some silence
why am i two i's?
the pain is slowly killing me
the war that others cannot see
it's what i go through
'cause i am

in two

i am split in two
