Stone Cold Killer

I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me
I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me
I’m a cold-blooded murderer don’t you dare lie to me
I’m a sto-o-o-one cold killer baby
I don’t even know how I’m still alive
I guess I just give in, keep it in, let it go, let it out and I survive
I’m so sick and tired of trying to live this lie
It’s gotten to the point where it makes no difference if I live or if I die
Don’t you just wish you could put life on pause
You know me, baby, I’m dying for the cause
Don’t you wish, just for a second, you could put life on hold
It’s so hard to live this way when your heart is ice cold
I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me
I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me
I’m a cold-blooded murderer don’t you dare lie to me
I’m a sto-o-o-one cold killer baby
There goes another day, and it seems its gone to waste
I don’t know anything anymore, I just copy and paste.
Filling out the forms, filling in the blanks
Grinding gears just to move up the ranks.
You’ve only got one direction, it only goes one way
Make sure you’ve gone the right way, make sure not to stray
It’s the same damn thing day after day after day
And I want to get away, yeah, I gotta break away
I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me
I’m a stone cold killer baby don’t you mess around with me
I’m a cold-blooded murderer don’t you dare lie to me
I’m a sto-o-o-one cold killer baby
I'm a stone cold killer baby
I'm a stone cold killer baby

Say you want me, make it real
Cause I know exactly how I feel
When you come next to me
I feel the ecstasy
Oh, what you do to me
Is so surreal
Take it easy, take it slow
I break easily, don’t ya know
They say I’m a wild child
But I’m fragile
It’s just been a while
Since I’ve shown my soul
Have you ever danced with somebody in the rain
While the sun is shining through the clouds
As they evaporate away
The visible spectrum
Have you ever danced with somebody in the rain
The sun is shining through the clouds
As they evaporate away
The visible spectrum
Is in full bloom
In the afternoon
It’s all new to me, can you tell?
I’ve been living in my own personal jail cell
I’ve been confined
I’m losing my mind
Behind these steel bars
And it’s been hell
And so I try to hide my eyes
So you wont see through me
I gotta admit I’m a little bit shy
But you’re the kinda guy
That don’t ask what or why
You just feel the vibes
And that’s how we get by
Woo, haha
Have you ever danced with somebody in the rain
While the sun is shining through the clouds
As they evaporate away
The visible spectrum
Have you ever danced with somebody in the rain
The sun is shining through the clouds
As they evaporate away
The visible spectrum
Is in full bloom
In the afternoon

Do Your Worst

So you’re your own god
Frankly, nobody cares
Hate to break it to you darling
But life is unfair
You tell me I’m not worth a minute of your time
Well, sorry sweetie
You’re not worth a single second of mine
So do your worst
Cause you can’t take something from nothing
I would know, cause I once had it all
When you’ve got no one, you’ve got nothing to lose
That’s what you told me, as I recall
Only at death do we show our true colours
And frankly my love yours is black
Once you figure all this out
And come back on your knees it’s then that
You’ll realise I’m not coming back
Oh, no, not this time
You’ve got so many faces
I can’t tell which one is you
You’re a walking contradiction
Boy, you’ve got me so confused
Cause you say that you love me
Then you say that you want me dead
Well your voodoo dolls
Don’t scare me at all
Cause you’re outta your fucking head
So do your worst
Cause you can’t take something from nothing
I would know, cause I once had it all
When you’ve got no one, you’ve got nothing to lose
That’s what you told me, as I recall
Only at death do we show our true colours
And frankly my love yours is black
Once you figure all this out
And come back on your knees it’s then that
You’ll realise I’m not coming back
Oh, no
Do your worst
Cause you can’t take something from nothing
I would know…
Cause I once had it all
When you’ve got no one, you’ve got nothing to lose
That’s what you told me, as I recall
Only at death do we show our true colours
And frankly my love yours is black
Once you figure all this out
And come back on your knees it’s then that
You’ll realise I’m not coming back
Oh, no, not this time
Now that you’re gone I’m not coming back,
No not this time
I’m moving on, I’m not coming back
No not this time

Heartbeat

Always a shadow
Behind you
Ghost of the memories
To remind you
Fragments of their
Presence
Those who robbed her of her
Innocence
Walking, walking, walking, walking through the street
Silence, silence, silence, silence - nothing but my heartbeat
And every, every, every, every time that we meet
Just silence, silence, silence, silence - nothing but my heart beat
Just because you can't see them
Doesn't make them any less real
Her collection of masks to conceal
All the insecurities she feels
So she dissociates into the surreal
Walking, walking, walking, walking through the street
Silence, silence, silence, silence - nothing but my heartbeat
And every, every, every, every time that we meet
Just silence, silence, silence, silence - nothing but my heart beat
Buh-beat, buh-beat
Walking, walking, walking, walking through the street
Silence, silence, silence, silence - nothing but my heartbeat
And every, every, every, every time that we meet
Just silence, silence, silence, silence - nothing but my heart beat

Home With You

I'm not going home with you tonight
I'd rather be alone, 'cause it feels right
Hey mister, did ya hear me
I said no, get out of my sight
I'm not going home with anyone tonight
I hear the whispers and I feel the stares
You know I notice you, but you don't care
And I smile on
The only thing I know how to do in these situations
I don't know how to react
But you're in my face, and that's a fact
And I never asked for your attention
I don't know where you got the clue
That made you believe I was into you
'Cause that notion just isn't true
And you're acting straight up strictly rude
I don't think I could be clearer
But if you dare come one step closer
I'll make you regret it
'Cause I'm not going home with you tonight
I'd rather be alone, 'cause it feels right
Hey mister, did ya hear me
I said no, get out of my sight
I'm not going home with anyone tonight
He should've learned how to watch his mouth
And how to keep his filthy hands to himself
As I resists and he persists
I know, I must give in
I can't win
I'm not stronger than him
Maybe I should've dressed more conservatively
So that he wouldn't be mentally undressing me
But why should that be
A lady's responsibility?
I don't know where you got the clue
That made you believe I was into you
'Cause that notion just isn't true
And you're acting straight up strictly rude
I don't think I could be clearer
But if you dare come one step closer
I'll make you regret it
'Cause I'm not going home with you tonight
I'd rather be alone, 'cause it feels right
Hey mister, did ya hear me
I said no, get out of my sight
I'm not going home with anyone tonight
Hello, officer, I'd like to report a crime
I'm sorry, no there were no witnesses at the time
What do I gotta do to get through to you?
I swear on my mother I'm telling the truth!
But all I've got are my words and my tears for proof…
'Cause some scars don't show on the outside
And some scars will never heal
Some scars we spend our whole lives trying to hide
But that don't make them any less real
Teach me, teach me, teach me
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
How I'm supposed to heal
And that's why
I'm not going home with you tonight
I'd rather be alone, 'cause it feels right
Hey mister, did ya hear me
I said no, get out of my sight
I'm not going home with anyone tonight

Can't Be Saved

Coffee and a cigarette
To start off my day
I don't feel like getting out of bed
But I do it anyway
I know I'm not alone
But I feel so lonely
This misery is taking me
This dissonance is shaking my body
Whoa, yeah, whoa
You know I'm
I'm digging myself a hole
Big enough to fit this heavy soul
I'm digging myself a grave
Mama, I can't be saved
Hey, hey, hey, lada doo doo doo
I remember
And I can't catch my breath
I regret it
So I sentence these memories to death
The verdict that followed
Did not satisfy my desires
So I took it upon myself
To set your skin on fire
Whoa, yeah, whoa
You know I'm
I'm digging myself a hole
Big enough to fit this heavy soul
I'm digging myself a grave
Mama, I can't be saved
Oh, whoa oh yeah
You know I'm
Digging, I'm digging, I'm digging myself a hole
It's gotta be big enough to fit this heavy soul
Digging myself a grave, whoa
Mama, I can't be saved
No, no, no, mama, I can't be saved
No, mama I can't
Be saved
