LIZZY BORDEN LYRICS

1. Me Against The World

Leave me alone, I'm on the defense,
I'm not made of stone, why doesn't it ever make sense.
I'm sick of all this indecision, you're messing with my mind,
This ain't no false facade and this ain't no freak disguise.

'Cause I am for real, you don't know what I feel,
My strength is in my will,
I cannot wait, I won't be second rate,
In for the kill,

It's me against the world,
Me against the world.
It's me against the world,
Me against the world.

Inside, looking outside through a goldfish bowl
It's handover mouth stares that make me lose control
If I'm an outcast - I'm not the last, I'm gonna have my say,
They'll never take me alive, I'm gonna make them all pay.

'Cause I am for real, you don't know what I feel,
My strength is in my will,
I cannot wait, I won't be second rate,
In for the kill,

It's me against the world,
Me against the world,
It's me against the world,
Me against the world,

Me against the world,
It's me against the world.
Me against the world,
It's me against the world.

You can't face my life, you just won't think twice,
I see it my way but I won't be the martyr
I know you see it wrong, the cover don't belong,
I'm holding tight, don't you push me too far.

It's me against the world
It's me against the world

Me against the world,
It's me against the world,
Me against the world,
It's me against the world,

It's me against the world,
Me against the world.
It's me against the world,
Me against the world.

Don't push me too far.

2. Shock

I see familiar strangers, from a sightless pair,
I came without warning, I don't play fair.
Shotgun - you're on the run, can't you feel me getting closer
Stand back, surprise attack, ultrasonic spectacle.

Plunging into the fire never losing sight
Blinded by your desire electrified, in the night, in the night.

Shock treatment
I'm turning it on for you
Shock treatment

Convulsive heart-throb flash in the air,
A bolt from the blue laser-beam stare
Blackout - I hear you shout phantom schemes (that) drain more power
Flashback we made a pact, now we want the pay-off

Plunging into the fire never losing sight
Blinded by your desire electrified in the night, in the night

Shock treatment
I'm turning it on for you
Shock treatment
Shock treatment
I'm turning it on for you
Shock treatment

I'm coming out in sight alive and shocking
I'll materialize I'm turning it on for you

[x3]
Shock treatment
I'm turning it on for you
Shock treatment
Shock treatment
I'm turning it on for you
Shock treatment

3. Outcast

Icy stares from upper echelon,
So confused, I just don't belong,
Out of place, the spotlights glare on me,
When you don't fit in, nothing comes naturally.

Ah, they're watching as I fall.
Ah, I'm not invisible - not like the rest.

I am an outcast, free at last,
So long, don't need you anyway.
Outcast, I am who I am, here to stay.

Solitaire, alone I stand,
It's all so clear, impressions falsely take command,
Distorted views, you see what you wanna see,
I'm not like you, there's more than meets the eyes in me.

Ah, they're watching as I fall.
Ah, I'm not invisible - not like the rest.

I am an outcast, free at last,
So long, don't need you anyway.
Changes, I am who I am, here to stay.

I'm an outcast, I can see at last,
Goodbye, won't be caught in your trap,
So long, I'm never coming back.

I'm an outcast, under siege attack,
Stand out, you didn't bargain for me,
Wasted, I'm not what you want me to be.

I am an outcast, free at last,
So long, don't need you anyway.
Changes, I am who I am, here to stay.

4. Den Of Thieves

We're the dealers, we'll steal your soul,
Don't get too close, on with the show.
I'm your host here Oblivion, I'm full of sin at your service.

Welcome inside to sights unseen
Visual lies portrayed obscene

In the den of thieves
Watch your eyes, we'll steal your dreams
In the den of thieves
I'll show you things that you won't believe.

She's a harlot, she holds the keys,
She's never free, she's a good time.
What you see is a slice of the knife,
A piece of life in a heartbeat.

Always alive she likes to ride,
Nothing to hide, she's out of sight.

In the den of thieves
Watch your eyes, we'll steal your dreams
In the den of thieves
I'll show you things that you won't believe.

He's an animal carnivorous,
Don't second guess, spreading fear.
In this temple this human zoo
Dreams come true in your worst nightmare

Welcome inside to sights unseen
Visual lies portrayed obscene

In the den of thieves
Watch your eyes, we'll steal your dreams
In the den of thieves
I'll show you things that you won't believe.

In the den of thieves
Watch your eyes, we'll steal your dreams
In the den of thieves
I'll show you things that you won't believe.

You won't believe, you won't believe, in the den of thieves.

5. Visual Lies

I can't believe that I believed in you,
You know just what to say, though none of it is true.
You saw right through me, Oh was I easy prey,
Enticed my senses with lust I must obey.

I can hear the call, I can see it all,
I know you are my truth inside.

Visual lies
Visual lies

How could you betray me like a thief in the night,
You stole my eyes and showed me black when there was white.
I read between the lines, but still I don't see,
I've got no guarantees.

I can hear the call, I can see it all,
I know you are my truth inside.

Visual lies
Visual lies

I know you are my truth inside.

Visual lies
Visual lies
Visual lies
Visual lies.

Visual lies
Visual lies
Visual lies
Visual lies.

Visual lies
Visual lies
Visual lies
Visual lies.

6. Eyes Of A Stranger

I think I know you when I look into your eyes,
But when I hold you I feel you're as cold as ice.
You stare a hole in me that chills me to the bone,
Fatal attraction into the unknown.

In the eyes of a stranger, there lies a mystery,
In the eyes of a stranger, are you what you appear to be.

Beauty is just skin deep and the lines are getting old,
Trying to find what hides behind the eyes of the beholder,
Stranger's kiss is worth the risk of always being new,
Never know just who you're with that's staring back at you.

In the eyes of a stranger, there lies a mystery,
In the eyes of a stranger, are you what you appear to be.
In the eyes of a stranger, take a turn full power thrust,,
In the eyes of a stranger, be cruel and be dangerous.

With x-ray eyes I see tonight,
Just who you are and I'm watching you.
Your secret dream I hear you scream,
I've gone too far for eyes of blue.

The secrets of the past and all mistakes that never change,
Recreating replays, but the outcome stays the same.
Ticking like a time bomb on the ready to explode,
It's fantasy, reality, it's meaningless, alone down deep.

[Repeat chorus x2]

7. Lord Of The Flies

I see a ship of fools, don't obey your rules,
Always fades away, never wanna play.
Carries loaded dice, sell your soul half price,
Nothing matters here, growing insincere.

And when the dream stands up and slips away,
And when the screams start to fly into the sky,
The dream dies.

Lord of the flies,
King of the killing sky,
Lord of the flies,
Dares you to cross the line,

Stripping all the gears, holding back the tears,
Got the goat all along, something don't belong
Instigating fear, paralyzing sneer,
Bark and then the bite, steal your heart just for spite.

And when the night burns brightly into day,
And when the light shines on without decay,
It's all lies.

Lord of the flies,
King of the killing sky,
Lord of the flies,
Dares you to cross the line,
Lord of the flies,
Never see eye to eye,
Lord of the flies,
Cutting you down to size.

And when the dream stands up and slips away,
And when the screams start to fly into the sky,
The dream dies.

Lord of the flies,
King of the killing sky,
Lord of the flies,
Dares you to cross the line,
Lord of the flies,
Never see eye to eye,
Lord of the flies,
Cutting you down to size.

Lord of the flies
Lord of the flies,
Lord of the flies.

8. Voyeur (I'm Watching You)

I watch you only, I wish you only knew,
I am yours solely, I'm deep in lust with you.
You show me playthings I thought I'd never see,
But now I want to, to touch the real thing.

I'm ready for action, I'm ready for you,
I just can't hold it back, I'm exploding, I can't last,

Voyeur,
I'm chasing shadows in the night,
Voyeur,
I'm watching you, you're in my sights,

I know you so well, I know your every move,
I can't stop watching, I see what no-one could,
You move your body, untouchable display,
You make me crazy, because you don't know me.

I'm ready for action, I'm ready for you,
I just can't hold it back, I'm exploding, I can't last,

Voyeur,
I'm chasing shadows in the night,
Voyeur,
I'm watching you, you're in my sights,
Voyeur,
I'm holding on, obsessed inside,
Voyeur,
I'm watching, undercover spy.

I want you so bad, you don't know I'm alive,
You never notice me watching all the time,
Uncensored sightings undress you with my eyes,
I'm fantasizing you in suspended thighs.

I just can't hold it back, I'm exploding, I can't last,
I just can't turn away, I'm right behind you.
A glance away

[Repeat chorus x2]

I'm chasing shadows in the night,
I'm watching you, you're in my sights.

9. Visions

Innocent eyes, open them wide for me,
I'm coming inside, to find what I know you can see.
The whole world is blind, except in your mind,
Lying there face down, reluctantly.
The fallen shall bow, the hope is here now,
I'm fading in timeless intensity.

Hear what I say tonight, for the time is right,
You are my light.
You must obey tonight, the seeds are right,
For the second sight

Turn on the vision.

Turn on what only you can see, it's in your mind.
Turn on the curse and watch closely, I'm on your line.
Turn on the vision.

No static is clear,
My actions speak louder than words,
But you mustn't fear,
Through my eyes you watch and you learn,
The night is so black, I wait to attack,
The silence is deafening, not a word.
You witness the fear you've seen through your mirror,
You psychic, you now wait your turn.

Hear what I say tonight, for the time is right,
You are my light.
You must obey tonight, the seeds are right,
For the second sight.

Turn on the vision.

Turn on what only you can see, it's in your mind.
Turn on the curse and watch closely, I'm on your line.
Turn on the vision.

Turn on what only you can see, it's in your mind.
Turn on the curse and watch closely, I'm on your line.
Turn on the vision.

Turn on what only you can see, it's in your mind.
Turn on your clairvoyant dreams, I'm on your line.
