BUTCHER BABIES LYRICS

1. I Smell A Massacre

Hate me
I pull my hair by the fistful
Hate me
Spinning scissors like a pistol

You dare to say
That I'm forcefully insane
The truth remains
That you've kept me in a cage

[2x]
Can't stop the beast in me
It's underneath my skin

Save
Save yourself
This is straight war
The writing's on the wall

Here comes a massacre now
Brace for the massacre
Run
Run and hide
They're keeping score
They're never coming home now

Here comes a massacre now
Brace for the massacre
No one's safe here
Run for cover, go!

Love me
They talk in pointed whispers
Love me
While my fingers on a trigger

You gave away
All the things that kept you vain
Your progeny
It becomes your enemy

[2x]
Can't stop the beast in me
It's underneath my skin

Save
Save yourself
This is straight war
The writing's on the wall

Here comes a massacre now
Brace for the massacre
Run
Run and hide
They're keeping score
They're never coming home now

Here comes a massacre now
Brace for the massacre
No one's safe here
Run for cover, go!

[8x]
Run for cover!

Save
Save yourself
This is straight war
The writing's on the wall

Here comes a massacre now
Brace for the massacre
Run
Run and hide
They're keeping score
They're never coming home now

Here comes a massacre now
Brace for the massacre
No one's safe here
Run for cover!
No one's safe here
Run for cover, go!

2. Magnolia Blvd.

This city creeps
In it's disease
Hung by a thread
And no one can hear you scream

Woke up on the south side of nowhere
All I am is a foreign face
Tortured ripped out at the core
Caught up in Hell's revolving door
Stumble around with eyes glazed over
Prize was lost
Nothing left to show for
Too close caught up in the flame
Reaching out for the slaved and maimed

Gone away
The dreams you breed have just decayed
Strayed away
You came here looking for a name

No place, like home

[2x]
This city creeps down the alleys of disease
When you're hanging by a thread
And no one can hear you scream

Beneath the cloud of dust they
Surface with deep defacing cuts
Time rips by when you're sick
Wanna make it last well take your pick
Shattered dreams is all that remains
All those things that you can't regain
Last chance you're caught up in the scene
Ingest and gorge this empty city

Gone away
The dreams you breed have just decayed
Strayed away
You came here looking for a name

No place, like home

[2x]
This city creeps down the alleys of disease
When you're hanging by a thread
And no one can hear you scream

Scream, Scream, Scream

These streets are devastated
Your path has lead you astray
Stomped and battered
The legacy is fading
Left to the vagrants in your wake
Stomped and Battered

[2x]
No one can hear you scream

[2x]
This city creeps down the alleys of disease
When you're hanging by a thread
And no one can hear you scream
No one can hear you scream

3. C8H18 (Gasoline)

And I see your face
And it left me
Broken slaved
How you've chained me
Broken

Strong armed by your
Lustful greedy ways
I'm frozen here
Because you make me stay
You said that I would fail
Your intent was clear
Infectious piece of skin

And I'll face the fear

One more shot
Shot call in a riot
We'll burn it down
Burn it down
Fuel thrown on the fire
You're gasoline

Break from this fight
I can't live here
Broken
Raged
How you've kept me
Broken
I'm gonna stand on the
Edge and spit on you
Your end is near
We're chasing after you
No fault my hands are clean
Now you can disappear
We'll bring you to your knees

And I'll face the fear

One more shot
Shot call in a riot
We'll burn it down
Burn it down
Fuel thrown on the fire

One more shot
Shot call in a riot
We'll burn it down
Burn it down
Fuel thrown on the fire
You're gasoline

We'll burn it down

Go ahead and hide
Behind your A.K.A.
You're just as lost as
The ones you leave behind
I can be fixed
But first I'm gonna stand
And watch you fall

I'm having a hard time breathing
I'm having a hard time being
All the things I'm supposed to be being
I'm having a hard time breathing

One more shot
Shot call in a riot
We'll burn it down
Burn it down
Fuel thrown on the fire

One more shot
Shot call in a riot
We'll burn it down
Burn it down
Fuel thrown on the fire
You're gasoline

4. Grim Sleeper

Death creeps through the door
No one knows I'm here
I'm nameless and faceless as fear

13 Years it's been since
I buried this sin
Monkey on my back
Don't look you can't see
Through back alleys I creep
Where no mothers will weep
Hunting on the track
Don't look now you can't see

Who brought a knife to
To the gun fight

She screamed in bloody murder
Her limbs all turning numb
So numb

It's closing in
It's closing in

I know death is lurking
I feel it near
Through the screams
I can taste the fear
Calling out no one
Knows I'm here
I'm nameless faceless victim

Created Obsession
Studied torture and pain
Gathering what he'd need
To stalk the innocent prey

With his box of death he's
stealing her last breath
It's a heart attack
He's out to taste blood again

It's closing in
It's closing in

I know death is lurking
I feel it near
Through the screams
I can taste the fear
Calling out no one
Knows I'm here
I'm nameless faceless victim

[2x]
Death creeps through the door
No one knows I'm here
I'm nameless and faceless as fear

This sweat this fear
I know it's real
Close my eyes so I can't see
The last night of my life
I'm nameless
I'm faceless as fear
As fear

I know death is lurking
I feel it near
Through the screams
I can taste the fear
Calling out no one
Knows I'm here
I'm nameless faceless victim

5. Goliath

Your smile is porcelain
And I wanna break
It with my fist
Dug this chain around my throat
I smell this place
And I'm back to being your dog

I'm fashioning the end
These thoughts of violence
This rope around your neck
These thoughts of violence
My knife stuck in your back
These thoughts of violence

Just one inch away
From murder
Your talk is cheap
Better heed to the warning
I've done it once
Trust I'll do it twice
Now recognize the warning

You're breeding
Scars with the
Same knife that started
This whole fight
Your proverbial
Finger in my face
To pull the trigger to my rage
To my rage
Pull the trigger to my rage
To my rage

I'm fashioning the end
These thoughts of violence
This rope around your neck
These thoughts of violence
My knife stuck in your back
These thoughts of violence

Just one inch away
From murder
Your talk is cheap
Better heed to the warning
I've done it once
Trust I'll do it twice
Now recognize the warning

Your palms are sweating
The knot is tightening
You're at the end of the
Rope about to sway
Pull the trigger to my rage
About to sway
Pull the trigger to my rage

I'm fashioning the end
These thoughts of violence
This rope around your neck
These thoughts of violence
My knife stuck in your back
These thoughts of violence

Just one inch away
From murder
Your talk is cheap
Better heed to the warning
I've done it once
Trust I'll do it twice
Now recognize the warning

6. In Denial

One change
One kill
These things you've
Lost all your sight
Night of regress
Your promise lost
Here tonight
Empty love lost
In one sweet moment of pride
One chance one kill
Six years forgotten in life

Goodbye my love these
Signs are strong
All bets are off
Let's call it a day
One chance
One kill
You gave it away

Hard to swallow
All these years
They meant nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
All these scars you gave to me
They meant nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
You're in denial [3x]

One fault
One slip
Regret is drawn on your face
No turning back
What was is now such a waste
Hardened by spite
The trust snuffed out by a lie
One fault one slip
Here's to the final goodbye

Goodbye my love these
Signs are strong
All bets are off
Let's call it a day
Last chance
Last stand
You gave it away

Hard to swallow
All these years
They meant nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
All these scars you gave to me
They meant nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
You're in denial [3x]

Denial!

Hard to swallow
All these years
They meant nothing
All these scars you gave to me
They meant nothing, nothing

Now let me tell you
That my giving
In return has been reserved
Just for you
And let me tell you when you
Watch me rise I did it all
In spite of you

Hard to swallow
All these years
They meant nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
All these scars you gave to me
They meant nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
You're in denial [6x]

Denial!

7. Give Me Reason

Give me reason
Give me reason
Give me reason
Reason!
Reason!

Too fast to kill
Moves against my will
Don't you ask for more
It'll come in full
Deadly sins have
Looked my way
One by one they're killing me
Always wanting
More and more
Give me reason
The strong will win
It's the number one sin
Your hate has
Judged the weak
To break them in

The spider in your vein
Controls the cancer in your brain

We were born to die
And this is how I try

It's my way to say goodbye

Give me reason
Give me reason
Give me reason
Crossed this path
I'm not looking back
Looking back

I have a death pact
With myself
Single barrel on the shelf
So let's make it real
Spin the fucking wheel

The spider in your vein
Controls the cancer in your brain

[4x]
Fantasy dreams
Forced down my throat
Hear me scream
Break the chains of this hold

[3x]
I have a death pact
With myself
Single barrel on the shelf
So let's make it real
Spin the fucking wheel

It's my way to say goodbye

Give me reason
Give me reason
Give me reason
Crossed this path
I'm not looking back
Looking back

Give me reason
Give me reason
Give me reason

8. The Mirror Never Lies

Can I tell you what
I feel inside
Is it a place you
Feel you can hide
And every time that
I asked you what to say
You fucking lied to me
You know it's gonna
Be a long ride home
Forgetting the promise you made
Fuck the life you saved
You fucking cursed my name

We were gods 'till you forgot
Found someone else to take my spot
We were gods 'till you forgot
'Till you destroyed us
Behind your mask you had a plot
All your dreams I fucking bought
Somewhere in this web I'm caught
But you destroyed me

You know it's gonna be a long ride
And I'm telling you to stay inside
You know it's gonna be a long ride
And I'm telling you to stay inside

Take a look
What do you see
This mirror lies
It's killing me
Filled with what will never be
'Till you destroyed us
My reflection laughs at me
And all the things
I thought we'd be
This broken glass
Will make us bleed
But you destroyed me

You know it's gonna be a long ride
And I'm telling you to stay inside
You know it's gonna be a long ride
And I'm telling you to stay inside

[2x]
And if these feelings of remorse
Won't cut you I will

We were gods 'till you forgot
Found someone else to take my spot
We were gods 'till you forgot
'Till you destroyed me

You mean nothing to me

You know it's gonna be a long ride
And I'm telling you to stay inside
You know it's gonna be a long ride
And I'm telling you to stay inside

[4x]
If these feelings of remorse
Won't cut you I will

We were Gods
But you destroyed us
It's gonna be
It's gonna be a long ride
But you destroyed us

9. Dead Poet

She likens herself as
To one of the greats
But if you look in her eyes
All you see is hate
She screams her insecurities and
The foolish things she thinks
She's just a broken toy in
A land of make believe

You're dead inside
With no regret
When the lights go down
You're standing alone
Your dead inside
And there's no end
Left with nothing here
But your crown of thorns

Your fear is what I've suffocated
Your lie is what was fornicated
Your fear is what I've suffocated
Your lie is what was fornicated

Mother playing the game
Father playing the game
My lover always the same
But when you stand back and look
You are the only one to blame
Mother playing the game
Father playing the game
My lover always the same
But take a good hard look
You are the only one to blame

You're dead inside
With no regret
When the lights go down
You're standing alone
Your dead inside
And there's no end
Left with nothing here
But your crown of thorns

Each scar has a story where
They came from no one knows
Fabricating the past
Blow by blow
Where's the sense of reason
When does her run end
Cause when the lights go down
She's cold and dead

Your fear is what I've suffocated
Your lie is what was fornicated
Your fear is what I've suffocated
Your lie is what was fornicated

Mother playing the game
Father playing the game
My lover always the same
But when you stand back and look
You are the only one to blame
Mother playing the game
Father playing the game
My lover always the same
But take a good hard look
You are the only one to blame

You're living in fear
I'm living right here
You're living in fear
I'm living right here

[2x]
You smile at me like
A long lost friend
Extend your hand to mine
As if we could amend

Your fear is what I've suffocated
Your lie is what was fornicated

Mother playing the game
Father playing the game
My lover always the same
But when you stand back and look
You are the only one to blame
Mother playing the game
Father playing the game
My lover always the same
But take a good hard look
You are the only one to blame

10. The Deathsurround

Squeeze and hold
With my hands
Gripped tight
Around your neck
You breathe to me
But I'm born
And bled to feed this hit

Two left dead and I'm king
This monster preys on the weak

Trying to live but to win
Is to die here alone
The Deathsurround
proving your place
In the filth
To be cast from
Your thrown
The Deathsurround
I am the air that you breathe
The idol you see
Trying to live but to win
Is to die here alone
The Deathsurround

In this skin I've been
Playing the
Roll of the shape shifter
These walls cave in
Having to sleep with
Both eyes open

Forced my self extraction
This monster's coming undone

Trying to live but to win
Is to die here alone
The Deathsurround
proving your place
In the filth
To be cast from
Your thrown
The Deathsurround
I am the air that you breathe
The idol you see
Trying to live but to win
Is to die here alone
The Deathsurround

Oh God
Where did this monster come from
God did you think it would break me
Don't come any closer
I'll have my closure
I'll decide when you go

The deathsurround
Unchain the monster
Unchain!

Trying to live but to win
Is to die here alone
The Deathsurround
proving your place
In the filth
To be cast from
Your thrown
The Deathsurround
I am the air that you breathe
The idol you see
Trying to live but to win
Is to die here alone
The Deathsurround

11. Axe Wound

I am not your savior
Get off your bended knee
You've fallen out of favor
Turned your back on what you believe

Yeah, you'll fall into a curse [2x]

[2x]
I am not your savior
I'm your Anti-Christ
Taking from your insides
To fall into a curse

I fell into your life
Like I fell into your lie
Yeah, you'll fall into a curse [2x]

Bow like a martyr
Sick off your own disease
Ask yourself what's this bed for
You dug your grave
It's 6 foot deep

You'll suffer with
All your kind
This nightmare
Is now your life
What's a girl
To do when
She's had enough of you
You'll suffer
With all your kind

[2x]
I am not your savior
I'm your Anti-Christ
Taking from your insides
To fall into a curse

Yeah, you'll fall into a curse [2x]

And now you're gonna run

[2x]
I fell into your life
Like I fell into your lies
You're running for your life

I fell into your lie [2x]

Yeah, you'll fall into a curse [2x]
