Lyrics
Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was
We’re nowhere, we’re nowhere, we’re nowhere to be
Nowhere, we’re nowhere, we’re nowhere to see
Living makes me sick
So sick I wish I’d die
Down in the belly of the beast
I can’t lie
You’re nowhere, you’re nowhere, you’re nowhere to be
Nowhere, you’re nowhere, you’re nowhere to see
There’s nothing left to do
There’s nothing left to feel
Doesn’t matter what you want, so
To make yourself feel better
You make it so you’ll never
Give in to your forevers
And live for always
And forever, forever, you’re forever to be
Forever, forever, you’re forever to me
- 2 . Beautiful One
Lyrics
I don’t look in the mirror
I don’t like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I’ll never see what you see
It’s not me
So beautiful and free
I’ll never be what you need
I can’t help it at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I’m ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I’m nothing
I know there’s nothing I can say
To change
The judgement in their ways
I’ll never be what you need
I can’t help it at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I’m ugly
Yeah…
I’m good enough, but I don’t care
I’m good enough, but I’m not there
I’m good enough, but I don’t care
The sun is out, but I’m not there
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough, but I don’t care (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) The sun is out, but I’m not there (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough (…somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) I’m good enough (…somewhere)
I don’t look in the mirror
I don’t like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I’ll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I’m nothing
Because I’m ugly - 3 . Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Lyrics
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved - 4 . No Escape

Lyrics
So here we are
True superstars
We’re so real from afar and now
Now you’re with us now
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can’t break what’s already broken
Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing
The “dream” was a sham
For saving what you can’t
And now they’re me but I’m not them
I am you and you are me
It’s in the ways I walk thru fire
It’s in the ways of my desire
And when I said that you’re no good
What I meant was I wish you could
Be there forever
Be young forever
I wish you were there
So now I bid farewell
Beyond the bounds of hell
And now you’ll swear you knew us well
Well you can never tell
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can’t break what’s already broken
Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing - 8 . And I Stumbled Onto You
Lyrics
And I stumbled onto you
As you stumbled over me
And you say the fates were cruel
For throwing us together
I always loved you so
Especially when you’d go
All the world must know
All the world must know
That I loved you so
It’s a pity we’re apart
It’s a shame you broke my heart
But I’ve got a new girlfriend
She looks a lot like you dear
No one could ever do dear
All the world must know
That I loved you so
Especially when you’d go
Especially when you’d go
Especially when you’d go
Away and leave me here
All the world must know

Lyrics
Born to please, every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I’m in you, I’m your anything
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
Come to me, let me hold you still
I’m so tired, just as tired as you
Take me for anyone but me
All that you feel is never true
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
And never let you know
Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes
Suck you like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
Never let you know
And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

Lyrics
All the worlds that we possess
Are slipping thru our hands
Chances are we’ll not return
To know or understand
But from the same self ether springs
The flowers of which your garden grows
As the gods breathe their sweetened breath
Upon the backs of us all
Can you feel it?
In your bones
Can you feel it?
On your own
I am just a question mark
Hanging on the wall
Choke me back with inspirations
Too numerous to care
Come on in the water’s warm
We’re waiting for you now
Take the plunge you can’t escape
The feelings if you dare
Can you feel it?
In your bones
Can you feel it?
On your own
And on my own, I can’t escape you all
And on my own, I can’t escape you all
And on my own, I can’t escape you all
Everything I give to you
I give it for myself
Everything I need from you
I need it for myself
Everything I take from you
I take it for myself
Everything I want from you
I want it for myself
Can you feel it?
In your bones
Can you feel it?
On your own
And on my own, I can’t escape you all
And on my own, I can’t escape you all
‘Cause on my own, I can’t escape you all
And on my own, I can’t escape you all

Lyrics
[“Rolling…” “I was just on another planet for a sec…”
“Run it back, Mole… (amp on) …fucker…”]
And I’d love you to notice
I’m devoted
To destroy for no one
Now it’s that time again to take revenge
On all the debutantes and their friends
The bitter charlemagnes so self-absorbed
The bodily remains such a bore
Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
And all I see is empty
‘Cause now I’m one of them
So adored
The slink of impotence
That money can afford
We know who you are and where you live
Is your innocence all that you can give
Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
In the back of the car
The angel dust was given back to the stars
Hey, yeah
Was I good enough to break you
Hey, yeah
And in this fall from grace
We’ll meet again
Another time another place
I’ve been down deep in you and me
Let’s see where we can go
Yeah yeah yeah

Lyrics
Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
Wishing you were real to me
Wishing I could make believe
I’ll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn’t save
Always knew I couldn’t save you
