Silverchair

I'm just another body down
Internal bleeding 'round and 'round

And all I can think of are ways to die alone
And all I can think of are ways to die alone

A portrait of my skeletal gain
Left selfish and hungry, so feed me the pain
Escape reality with new pain
Then let the cycle start again

And all I can think of are ways to die alone
And all I can think of are ways to die alone

Dream of content, a pain filtered farm
All I can say

Dreams are bad
When all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad
When negativity's a state of mind

Dreams are bad
When all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad

lived too long now you've come to take me
to a place where i can die
lost my soul lost my confidence in me
can't be something but i'll try
lived too long and waited to just drown
in my self pity i keep falling down
want to be your soldier
want to be your slave
i have no pride in myself
only book that i own is called 'how to lose'

Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue
C'mon abuse me more I like it
Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell
C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true
C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true
Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Gonna be a liar? Lie to me
Yeah
Gonna be a liar? Lie to me

Gonna be a while? Lie to me

You've never wanted to know me before
Little or no association
Leave me alone, I want to live
Stop sucking the blood right out of me
Couldn't care less if I died right now
Who am I?
I don't know, you tell me
You seem to know everything else

Need a pathway need a guide
Contemplating suicide
Wish I could be like you
You say you care, but do you?
Do you?
Burn

Need a change Not to imitate
But to irritate All the ones who hate
I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well, I guess it's fate

I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see, I have no specialty
Here's your warning
I'll give you click click boom
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate

Could've been like before Could've had to lock the door
Make your mind Let the door, let the door swing
Only one Only one to let the door
Wanted to pretend he's dead Didn't have to pretend
Make your mind Let the door, let the door swing
Only one Only one to let the door
All this and more Makes no sense to me
All this and more Makes me drown

Let me know if it's alright Let me know if you just might
Make your mind Let the door, let the door swing
Only one Only one to let the door
All this and more Makes no sense to me
All this and more Makes me drown

Addiction's held you back
But you don't care
'Cause you're on a high again
And it's not fair
Consuming alcohol
While I gotta drive
Take a hit from the drugs you stole
And try to survive
Since your life was over
You haven't yet been sober
You have held me back so long
Everything you do is wrong
Now I gotta dump you
Continue my life too
I tried to help you
Don't care what you do
You're state of mind's improved
But we're still apart
I visited you'd moved
Don't know where to start
Your life's an open cold sore
Got to get out the cream
Now I'm thinking positive
But I know it's a dream
Since your life was over you
You haven't yet been sober you
have held me back so long
Everything you do is wrong
Now I gotta dump you
Continue my life too
I tried to help you
Don't care what you do
You died yesterday

You died yesterday

You died yesterday

You died yesterday

I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationship could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law

Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's all uphill you've gotta climb

You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores

As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
So I don't have to use this gun

It's never gonna end
Open gash in my ribcage
It's never gonna mend
Take another picture off the wall
Sinking deeper every time I fall
Each day ends quicker
And my mind gets slower too
As my life just fades away
I wouldn't have a clue
Take another drawer out from the shelf
I'm too weak to do it by myself
Though you had the world at your feet
You could see it I was blind
Had the perfect job called life
You didn't like it you resigned

Brain's a square of grass
Growing on petrol and chlorine

On petrol and chlorine
You could see it I was blind
Had the perfect job called life
You didn't like it you resigned
On petrol and chlorine
You know just what I mean
On petrol and chlorine
You know just what I mean

Drained as drained can be
Life is gone from me
Drained if drained is free
If only I could breathe
Smelling dead roses
Take your mind with you
There's no room for two
I can't handle both
Handle both of you
Smelling dead roses
But I won't fall down
No I won't fall down
But I won't fall down
cause I won't fall down

Smelling dead roses
But I won't fall down
No I won't fall down
But I won't fall down
cause I won't fall down

Laying lost and wounded just myself to blame
Have no life and being hand-fed pain
Head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and Nobody came

His father beats him no hesitation
His face left dripping in humiliation
Head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and Nobody came

As he lies wounded his father turns to clay
A frozen statue can't walk away
Head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and nobody came
To see what I can lose again
For being the victim Ohhhhh~

Welcome to the closing
Not for love what for?
It's easy to be taken
But to say

Come again
Leave again
Waste of time
Come again

I'm all alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way

And you know that you can't see my pain
But you know that I can see your pain

Me and shame are the same
Me and shame take the blame

Me and pain are the same
Me and shame take the blame

Welcome to the closing

Hate is what I feel for you,
And I want you to know that I want you dead.
You're late for the execution...
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead.
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you and your apathy.
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here.
I'm playing this pantomime,
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear.
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to
This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through

chorus
Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah

I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air

It's twelve o'clock,
and it's a wonderful day.
I know you hate me,
but I'll ask anyway.
Won't you come with me,
to a place in a little town.
The only way to get
there's to go straight down.
There's no bathroom,
and there is no sink.
The water out of the tap is very,
hard to drink,
Very hard to drink.

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow
You say that money, isn't everything,
But I'd like to see you live without it.
You think you can keep on going living like a king.
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it.
Very hard to drink.
You gonna wait til, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait until tomorrow

Unsuspecting brother doesn't know what to do,
When everything just falls to the ground, ohh.
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue,
That his friend will never be found,
When he's informed, that he...
Will never see the boy,
Will never see the boy,
Never see him open his eyes,
Will never see the boy,
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
ooh, yeah.
Thinking of the past, it's all over now.
Mother nature strikes once again.
It happened all so fast, my only question's how,
How could they let that building descend.
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh...
You will never see the boy,
You will never see the boy,
You will never see him open his eyes,
You will never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
You'll only hear his heavenly cries.
ooh, yeah.
Off to the new life, I live on death.
You're leaving me all through the night.
If he's born again, I need you to find,
Need you to find where he is.

People, dying, for no reason at all,
Age is no difference or if you're large or small
Families, been torn apart,
Doesn't have to be this way,
Some people, just have no heart,
It's happening every day,
Pure massacre,
Machine guns pumping,
Hearts thumping,
Death is all around, yeah,
People crying for freedom,
No one hears the sound, ohhh,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre...alright,
There's people crying,
There's people dying,
But someone's taken it all, yeah,

Machine guns pumping,
Hearts thumping,
Death is all around,
People crying for freedom,
No one hears the sound,
Pure massacre,
It's gonna be,
A pure massacre,
Yeah

If you're hurt, Why don't you tell someone.
Don't feel bad, You're not the only one, yeah.
Don't go hiding, Hiding, in the shade.
If you were abused,
I'll find someone to help you.
I know you were used,
What are you gonna' do?
Don't go hiding, Hiding, in the shade.

Don't go hiding, Hiding, in the shade.

Ohh, you can lead a throne,
But I'm something you don't own.
No...

Greed is a sin,
so don't lead me in,
ohh...

Ohh, you can leave me out,
Leave me out,
Leave me out,
Ohh, yeah,

I dream about, how it’s gonna end,
Approaching me quickly,
Leaving a life of fear,
I only want my mind to be clear,
People, making fun of me,
For no reason but jealousy,
I fantasise about my death,
I’ll kill myself from holding my breath,
My suicidal dream,
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream,
I’m sure you will get yours too,
Help me, comfort me,
Stop me from feeling what I’m feeling now,
The rope is here, Now I’ll find a use,
I’ll kill myself, I’ll put my head in a noose,
My suicidal dream,
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream,
I’m sure you will get yours too,
Dreamin’ about my death, dream,
Suicidal, suicidal, suicidal dream,
I’m suicidal, Suicidal dream,

I can't release you,
You're a madman,
Need help to,
Madman, madman.

You're tied to alcohol,
It starts to take its toll,
Madman, madman,
Oh, madman mad.

Mind filled with confusion,
Your life's an illusion,
Madman, madman, oh, ugh,
Madman, madman... Madman.

Ohh, there's no time,
To choose for yourself.
It's like the candle's lit at both ends now,
Deteriorating health.
Parent's breakin' up,
Wish they would decide,
Whether to stay together
Can't make up their minds,

They wonder why you need someone,
You get no freedom at all.
They want you to drop down and conform,
They make your self-esteem fall.

Undecided, can't make up their mind
Your parents collided and left you behind

If there's a lock to their minds,
Can you tell me please.
I'll be straight,
Straight to get the keys.

Undecided, can't make up their mind
Your parents collided and left you behind

Her mother doesn't even know her name...
Undecided.
If there is trouble, well she just gets the blame,
But denies it.

Undecided, can't make up their mind
Your parents collided and left you behind
Undecided, Undecided, Undecided, Undecided

When he was just a little boy,
He only had one favourite toy.
And he had nothing on his mind,
He never left anything behind.
No.
As he got older, things got worse,
Like he'd been born under a curse.
Things started to fall apart,
They weren't like they were at the start.
No, it's like a civil war.
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore.
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.

And now that he was in his teens,
He'd started to learn what life means.
Problems were still appearing,
They didn't look like disappearing.
No.
it's like a civil war,
Growing up,
It's like a civil war.
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore.
Growing up,

You've been locked
and you need to escape
You broke the law it was your first offence
Drug addiction subtracting all your privileges
But giving up just makes no sense

We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Don't give in don't give in
Don't give in don't give in

All you can think about is breaking free
You can't make it on your own.
You're thinking negative
nothing can go right
It's eating you down to the bone

We'll find a way
Don't give in don't give in

We'll find a way
Don't give in don't give in

Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow
Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Get up get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt
E-motion sickness
Lessons learnt

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
in the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world

Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow
Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you
And you're my obsession I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life Like an Anorexia life
Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires On my knees for you

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old and in with the new
Discard the old and in with the fashion
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve

Who is the bad guy for iron
Require mince these are the facts
So eat what you murder
This is animal liberation
Eight billion killed for human pleasure

Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies
A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come
To make the decision you...
Drink up, drink up, look down
I'll hold it back, I'll hold it back

Discard the old, in with the fashion

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I’m not too sure
How I’m supposed to feel
Or what I’m supposed to say
But I’m not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love
Make room for the prey
’cause I’m coming in
With what I wanna say but
It’s gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...
I’m not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people
Remember today
I’ve no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I’m supposed to love you back
It’s just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I’m not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people
Remember today
I’ve no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love
Remember two days
I’ve no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I’m supposed to love you back

Dearest helpless intent's
not as bad as the action
Take a breath to distort the fear in your eyes
I don't mean it to hurt
But every time I hate you I think of you first
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down
Equalize the pressure, it's all too much
Sex drugs and image is just enough
To get you by in the real world
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

He's made you blind
I'm just the kind
To bring you, to bring you
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind
To bring you down

Moon covered determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach, try to decrease
To make it easier on me
Despise myself for what you`ve done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself `cause no one will
I`ll make it easier
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come
Stay alert cause I`m obsessed
Surely I can`t be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same anyway
Hold yourself `cause no-one will
I`ll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul, change the tide
And ride the wave back here to me

Be the one
Without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you`ve come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you`ve come

Maybe your luck has changed
Settle down
Maybe I`m just deranged
And on the rebound
Maybe love was the thing
Holding me back from all
Maybe I`m just the thing
To break my own fall
Take the rope to my heart and fall

You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall
Maybe departure`s good
Makes room for more
Start to mass produce
For a chance to ignore
Maybe you`ll kill yourself
Before I get a turn
Maybe I`ll fall in love And never learn

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Then cut yourself again
Elevate then drop back down
see which ones remain
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it
You`ll make it through
With another point of view again
You`ll make it through
With another point

Accusation does yes mean no
Or have you changed your mind
Kill the nation before it grows
be one of a kind
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it
You`ll make it through
With another point of view again
You`ll make it through With another point
Pretend the world`s an ocean Oh I`m drowning

Pretend that I`m pollution Oh, I`m dying
Pretend the steak`s a cowboy
And the kiss will kill you

You`ll make it through
With another point of view again
You`ll make it through With another point

Just wait for us to say it
And we'll make you lie
And anyone who cares
Lies on satin sheets
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

Wears a saturn bracelet
Lined with cocaine coins
No chance slipped away
Toddler training toys
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

It's only self rejection
With a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind
Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater
Content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense, camp out (nonsense)
She tastes the candy
Sugarless, cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you
But it's all the same to me

But it's all the same to me
Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

Contain yourself I will compress
What I am too Replace yourself
With what you have Your substitute
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise Esteem will rise
Steam will rise Esteem will rise
Refreain confess Contain repress
Pretend I'm dead Abuse myself
Confuse myself I won't be led
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise Esteem will rise
Steam will rise Esteem will rise
