[Tricky Youth]
Please allow me to introduce myself, bitch
I’m the one that’s got you shaking, crying
Waking up in fits
I’m the rabid dog that’s gnawing at you
Begging for a fix
I’m the demon in the killing fields
The blood upon your lips
DIVE DOWN
IN THE WATERS
WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE SAVED
DRINK DOWN
ALL YOUR SORROWS
DON’T YOU LOVE THE WAY IT TASTES?
KNEEL DOWN
TO THE ALTAR
THAT SHOWS YOU THE LIFE YOU CRAVE
FACE DOWN
YOU SEEK SOLACE
IN THE HELL THAT YOU CREATE
Is this what you want
What you really want
Is this what you want
From me?
[Nada5150]
NADA
Five thousand one hundred and them fifties, bitch
Now who let the devil in?
Now done who done invited him?
It's that solid gold criminal
Got them girls that's identical
Now you best mind ya business
My knife be splittin' ya lettuce
You stupid bitch, this ain't therapy
Bitch I'm seeing you stare at me
Got that little bitch energy
Know you look cuz you're scared of me
Doubt that do what it say it do
Bitch I'm sticky, I'm made of glue
I don't miss when I aim at you
Have your friends get your name tattooed
[Tricky Youth]
Is this what you want
What you really want
Is this what you want
From me?
LOOK AT ALL THE HATE YOU’VE SPAWNED!
(No need to wonder why)
EMBRACE WHAT YOU’VE BECOME!
(And you’ll never have to hide)
LOOK AT ALL THE PAIN YOU’VE SPAWNED!
(No need to wonder why)
EMBRACE WHAT YOU’VE BECOME!
(And you’ll never have to hide)
Is this what you want
What you really want
Is this what you want
From me?
LOOK AT ALL THE HATE YOU’VE SPAWNED!
(No need to wonder why)
EMBRACE WHAT YOU’VE BECOME!
(And you’ll never have to hide)
LOOK AT ALL THE PAIN YOU’VE SPAWNED!
(No need to wonder why)
EMBRACE WHAT YOU’VE BECOME!
(And you’ll never have to hide)

I touched something I should not have
And I don't feel the same after it
I touched something I should not have
And I don't feel the same without it
I am watching closely
I see myself dissolving
You know when it happens slowly,
Sometimes I don't notice 'til I'm gone
Poor little girl didn't get what she wants
Well so what,
I'm supposed to fuckin' feel bad for you?
It's okay -
Maybe you and I are fucked up the same
And you'll always have someone that you can abuse
And you know
That I'll take it
And you know
That I'll take it
And you know that I could take you down
And you know that I could take you down
I feel so awake now
Something has changed inside me
Sometimes we just need a little pain
To remind us
Exactly who we are
Poor little boy didn't get what I want
Well so what, you're supposed to fuckin' feel bad for me?
It's been so long since I bled that I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging you for something that could make me believe
And you know
That I'll take it
And you know
That I'll take it
And you know that I could take you down
And you know that I could take you down
I touched something I should not have
And I don't feel the same after it
I touched something I should not have
And I don't feel the same without it
And you know
That I'll take it
And you know
That I'll take it
And you know that I could take you down
And you know that I could take you down
:)

I’ll only walk as far as you let me go
No choice but to remain in awe of how beautiful
You are
And so I remain
You are
And so I remain
I’ll only walk as far as you let me go
No choice but to remain in awe of how beautiful
You are
And so I remain
You are
And so I remain
Tied in your hands
I swear I’ll never stray again
Divine, show the way
I’ll stay right here in my place
JUST TO SHOW YOU
MY DEVOTION
TO YOUR GLORY
I PROMISE YOU
I’ll only walk as far as you let me go
No choice but to remain in awe of how beautiful
You are
And so I remain
You are
And so I remain
Tied, in my skin
I swear I’ll give you everything
Divine, show the way
I’ll stay right here in my place
JUST TO SHOW YOU
MY DEVOTION
TO YOUR GLORY
I PROMISE YOU

Walk inside a wretched mind
Nightmare fueled psychic terror
Its so nice to see you here
I had a feeling that you’d come
Brain damaged from drugs I took
Insects crawl on every surface
A perfect world made for us
Just lay down don’t be so nervous
I won’t tell you
One word
Untrue
IS THIS WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT?
Didn’t you know I was the voices within you?
HOUNDS BAYING FOR ANGEL’S BLOOD
Urges of depravity you’ve longed to listen to
SWINE WASHED AWAY WITH THE FLOOD
Shadows screaming, let them in
ENDLESS FIELDS OF PSYCHIC PAIN
Now the Harvest can begin
Don’t you love it?
It’s so pure
I know you can feel it too
Let go of what was before
Feel salvation coming through
I won’t tell you
One word
Untrue

Let The Light In

Let the light in I can’t see
Scratched until I start to bleed
Living in the space between
Eternal bliss and agony
Wish I could be born again and not have this fuckin disease
Everything you crave and worship really don’t mean shit to me
Time and time again I had to find myself a friend
Who could truly understand
So I had to look within
Ran the tape back until I had the scene memorized
Replay the same memory until it’s burned into my eyes
You were always the only thing
That kept me
Awake and breathing
Let your shadows live inside of me
On bended knee, I will wait to receive
Let the light in, I can’t see
Choke until I start to breathe
Eraser to reality
So finally I could get free
To somewhere quiet
Live in peace
A burned down house between the trees
Sitting in an empty room
Watching the crows land on the breeze
Sing their hymns of misery
Joy and mourning, reverie
A place that no one else can see
I wish you could be here with me
Wake up in the morning it’s like all this shit just never happened
Call me on the phone to find out that my line’s been disconnected
You were always the only thing
That kept me
Awake and breathing
Let your shadows live inside of me
On bended knee, I will wait to receive
