Injected

i sow these streets with my own blood it seems
my soul is feeling unkempt and bare.
i'm just like you i'm complicated too.
jealous knives in my back to spare.

i'll burn it black as sin, falling off the wagon again.
burn it black as sin, lost my head.
you've got one shot left and now you're done
you'll turn your back on everyone
burn it black as sin, time to...

i feel your doors slam in my face
somehow i can't replace this lust that i've found.
i'm just like you my spirit's broken too.
burn my bridges into the ground.

talk, wait,
engage your heart at its nadir.
your methods coming clear.
we speak, we taste
we roll a night that lingers
wrapped in silence
please don't pierce it.

kiss away dependency
show me what it means to be
clean and full of dirty bliss
15 minutes more of this.

what's your favorite color
dreaming in no other
what to do? what to say?
so my 15 won't fade away

don't wait too late
i never know, you come and go
your weakness starts to show
we fall, we fly
we'll sleep in this forever wrapped inside us.
please don't lose it.

i kissed away your dependency
when you found out what you meant to me
your brown eyed frown i'm gonna miss,
you get 15 minutes more of this

when she comes in all degrees, no more need
burn the taste of all away, you can't say
try to kick a line in time, no more time
burn the taste down on your knees, you can't see

what i want i can't say....

breaking glass will do you harm, my blood's warm
somehow words are meaningless, i'm breathless
try to put your arms around what you've found
disappears and all is gone, you can't go on

what i want i can't say...

i sow these streets with my own blood it seems
my soul is feeling unkempt and bare.
i'm just like you i'm complicated too.
jealous knives in my back to spare.
i'll burn it black as sin, falling off the wagon again.
burn it black as sin, lost my head.
you've got one shot left and now you're done
you'll turn your back on everyone
burn it black as sin, time to...
i feel your doors slam in my face
somehow i can't replace this lust that i've found.
i'm just like you my spirit's broken too.
burn my bridges into the ground.

you're coming home to an empty space inside of you,
there's no other place.
you're wondering hard what you're here for,
but every night you still walk out that door.

you're just a screwed up kid,
who doesn't know who he is
fights the words in his head,
screams he's better off dead.
met a punk with a dis
wants a fight and now you're pissed
it's already too late
sawed off your hate

what did you sell your soul for?
was it a gun and a bullet and a chance at revenge?
you got props from your boys on the block,
a cross to bear that never ends
what did you sink so low for?
was it the time and the space and the spit in your face?
props from the cops and the court
a sin you can't erase

he caught you looking his way
hands in the air - what the hell'd ya say?
i know something sad but true
that motherfucker was as scared as you.

you're just a screwed up kid,
who doesn't know who he is
fights the words in his head,
screams he's better off dead.
met a punk like you
what the fuck you gonna do?
point the piece at his eyes
you never realized

sell it with a pistol in the sack.
they push you so hard, gonna push right back.
sell it and don't put up a fight
your life has just started but it all ends tonight.

could you be lost
are you so free, do you long to be
you know it's such a mystery how you washed up over me
and i couldn't speak, i couldn't breathe, lest i drown

but it's my kind
i'll never be cruel and i'll always play the fool
to be as loveless, as shameless as you.
but i'm so blind
i'll do it again i feel your eyes sink in
so faithless as you've been.

yes i'm so lost
i am not free but i long to be
when life goes down, do you fell as though you're gonna drown
you're going down

too much left to say,
you never wanted it that way.
and now you wake up wondering why your life is tumbling into nothing left to say
you always knew it'd be that way
and now you poison your dreams with a feeling that seems

to leave you all alone
ditch you halfway home
you pick yourself up off the ground
and find out what it's all about.

it only hurts awhile and then it's gone again.
no need to ask just where or when you'll find yourself again.
cause you're only here awhile and then you're gone again.
no need to ask just where or when

once upon a time i'd take a drink and i'd feel fine.
but now it hurts me everywhere, sick secrets i can't share.
nothing left to say
i always knew it'd be that way.
and now i've poisoned my dreams with a feeling that seems

to leave me all alone
ditch me halfway home.
i'll pick myself up off the ground
and find out what it's all about

falling faster towards the ground
you are
falling faster down and down

talk, wait,
engage your heart at its nadir.
your methods coming clear.
we speak, we taste
we roll a night that lingers
wrapped in silence
please don't pierce it.

kiss away dependency
show me what it means to be
clean and full of dirty bliss
15 minutes more of this.

what's your favorite color
dreaming in no other
what to do? what to say?
so my 15 won't fade away

don't wait too late
i never know, you come and go
your weakness starts to show
we fall, we fly
we'll sleep in this forever wrapped inside us.
please don't lose it.

i kissed away your dependency
when you found out what you meant to me
your brown eyed frown i'm gonna miss,
you get 15 minutes more of this

i measure time in seconds between cigarettes
don't mind choking on cold regrets
enamored with the possibility of getting so blind i don't wanna see
be everything you didn't want to be
let apathy set you free

everything you hated we sold our souls to walk right on past you
how long i've waited, unimportant, frustrated

scream the lines at people between cigarettes
don't mind taking something i haven't had yet
been splitting my head til i can't see
so you lay it all out right in front of me
no time to wonder what you're gonna be
let apathy set you free.

You're my target, you're my ticket
safe and secure in a hopeless smile.
Used up one you're a torch for some,
but for me it's an itch, it's a pain, it's a trial.

Wait for your eyes to give it away
still looking for something to say.
Your eyes still give it away
when you take what you fake.

You're just a used up girl living in your useless world.
You've got no faith to speak of, only pain.
You're just a sad sad trick
when you're overcome i feel so sick.
Come down, so down, off your HATE

Whichever opiate you like comes to mind.
Whatever demon that you seek you will find.
Just remember that you take the love you fake
and so it goes when you live like one.

Wait for your eyes to give it away
still looking for something to say.
Your eyes still give it away
when you take what you fake.

You're just a used up girl living in your useless world.
You've got no faith to speak of, only pain.
You're just a sad sad trick
when you're overcome i feel so sick.
Come down, so down, off your HATE

I know what you're after.
I feel your suicide.
Yes i know what you're after.

Wait for your eyes to give it away
still looking for something to say.
Your eyes still give it away
when you take what you fake.

You're just a used up girl living in your useless world.
You've got no faith to speak of, only pain.
You're just a sad sad trick
when you're overcome i feel so sick.
Come down, so down, off your HATE... HATE

found me dead on the side of the road, barely breathing,
but my soul was seething alone,
from all my guilt and shame
found you dead inside of your room, barely breathing
but your soul was screaming alone,
it's time to put away your pain

it's time you found out what i've been on about

well misfortune's plain to see when she's staring back at me
ms. fortune's plain

when i came to i opened my eyes and i breathed in all the life i was pushing away
before i'd go insane
i look through you and i see something there that you don't see,
if only you'd choose to believe me.
you know you're more than just your pain.

it's time you found out what i've been on about
it's time you knew,
those eyes see right through you

the things that we've known,
we've held too much to keep it inside and hidden in the spaces we've shown
why run, when there's nothing to hide?

pull those chains when you turn me out
remind me what this life is all about.
because i haven't felt pain in so long i forgot i was alive
sure in this life, the ironies can turn so cruel
but right now i'm at a loss to find one to match you.

would you forgive me i'm gifted with this poison pen.
silently, lividly waiting, for the ever end.

the sting from your faithless kiss still rings on my bloodless lips
if at any other time a love would call you mine
come around and find some time
sure in this life the ironies can turn so true
but the sin beneath my skin means it's more than likely not me but you.

let's all go to the underground,
some kind of social lost and found
check all your baggage at the gate
makin sense at 6 but i won't by 8
pulled like a magnet to the door
the faces are new but you've seen them before
spit out the truth that we're scared to say
that's why we come here anyway

i like to live where the lights are low,
sometimes i feel there's nowhere to go.
set you alight and i'll set you free
you never meant that much to me.

a couple shots and we're feelin straight
we shoot it up cause i hate to wait
we're talkin shit and we talk it loud
the seedy kids are my favorite crowd
well write your number down for me
to end up on the floor i guess it ain't meant to be
what's her name? well i'm scared to say...
that's why i came here anyway

what's my game? you don't want to know
i took too much and i'm feelin low
set me free cause i'm on my knees
it's such a bitch you're so hard to please
