1. Burn

I know you will come for me
At each opportunity
And if I run, you'd only hunt me down.
Do you like to feel me squirm?
Do you think this is some privilege you have earned?
I hope you burn.

Touch me and I'll barely notice.
Touch me, I won't even bat an eye.
Look! I'm barely even feeling this time.

So, you reinforce the threat.
There'll be no disclosing it - and if I dare to,
You said you'll cut her down.

For the sake of all concerned
And for all you should have taught me;
For all I've learned; burn.

I think I let it lie too long.
I think I may have lied too long.
I barely even bled this time.
I barely notice.

2. Complicate It

There isn't a delicate plan involved
I'll just copy myself a key
And then at 4:00 in the morning,
I'll come and kill you dead in your sleep.

I would, indeed, but I don't care to complicate it.
I could, indeed, but I don't care to complicate it.

Imagine! It's going to rain again!
Seems like a pretty good day to die.
Don't worry I'll offer you company
As I stare you straight in the eye.

And this will be more fun than I have had in years.
And if you feign to feel, again, crocodile tears.

I believe I could, indeed.

3. Party Favours

I won't bat an eye, my friend
I'll dig even harder then
Welcome to the mental place that I'm in

If you bleed, you'll die
As long as you bleed, you'll die

Time for party favours, then

We'll see who is rubbing up on me
This is some electric, heightened state that I'm in

If you bleed, you'll die
As long as you bleed, you'll die

In the black behind the eye
It's where I should be aiming
It's where I will be aiming

If you bleed, you'll die
As long as you bleed, you'll die
If you bleed, you'll die
As long as you bleed, you'll die

4. Clean

I am here on this platform
And something may suck me down
If I step off this platform,
I'll be cut through clean

If I had eyes in back of me,
I shudder to think what I would see

My faith brought me no further,
Faith got me nowhere
My faith brought me no further,
Fate got me here

So, I'll jump
I'll jump, jump, jump

I am still on this platform,
Pondering my next move
It is all down to direction
I could be clean and through

If I had eyes in back of me,
I shudder to think what I would see

When better days have gone,
You fall off the merry-go-round

My faith brought me no further,
Faith got me nowhere
My faith brought me no further,
Fate got me here

So, I'll jump

My faith brought me no further,
Faith got me nowhere
My faith brought me no further,
Fate got me here

So, I'll jump
I'll jump, jump, jump

When better days have gone,
You fall off the merry-go-round
When better days have gone,
You fall off the merry-go-round
When better days have gone,
You fall off the merry-go-round
When better days have gone, I fall off
I'm falling down, so I'll jump

5. Bury Me

Bury me somewhere with a breeze
Bury me somewhere by the mere
Faith was holding out but today,
I woke up with a stranger

Bury me somewhere by the seaside
Bury me somewhere no one will find
Today's my falling down day
I don't know you, you're a stranger

And I'm alive,
By definition, I'm alive
Alive is relative
Alive is not what this is
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive by definition

Bury me somewhere with a breeze
Bury me somewhere I can breathe
Faith was holding out but now,
You're no more than a stranger

And I'm alive,
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive

6. I Don't Feel

I don't feel, I think I like this
I'm sure I could live this way
It's like I'm not real
It's like I don't exist
And I prefer it that way

In more or less a year,
No one has made a difference here

I am here on a horror day
I am here where you left me

I don't speak 'cause I don't like to
I don't even know my voice
And I only breathe because I have to,
Certainly, not by choice

All of it slamming down
No one can make a difference now

I am here on a horror day
I am here on a horror day
I am here on a horror day
I am here where you left me

I am here on a horror day
I am here on a horror day
I am here on a horror day
I am here where you left me
I am here where you left me
I am here where you left me

7. Razor Blades

I am sad today
I wanna play with my razor blades
I am drowned, I'm sinking
And the truth is my choke, is my gain

But I, I could run away
I can feel it
I can feel the day
I, I could run away
I can feel it
I feel that day coming

I feel bad today
I want to play but the skies are grey
I am bound, I'm broken
And defeated, it is my new name

And I, I could run away
And I can feel it
I can feel the day
I, I could run away
I can feel it
I feel that day coming

I am sad today
I wanna play

I, I could run away
And I can feel it
I can feel the day
I, I could run away
I can feel it
I feel that day
I, I could run away
And I can feel it
I can feel the day
I, I could run away
I can feel it
I feel that day coming

8. Time

You're leaving me
For a moment among the wolves
And I never felt so small until now

You're leading me in further through the woods
And it never felt so wrong until now

I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again

You're leaving me
For a moment among the wolves
And I never felt so small until, until now

I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again

All I, all I have is time
And all I, all I have is time

All I, all I have is time
And all I, all I have is time

I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again

You're all I have left here
All I have left
I am begging now
I am begging now
I am begging now

9. All My Heart

There's faster ways of killing me
If you needed me to bleed
You didn't have to give my angel those broken knees

And if you felt you had to punish me
You could have taken anything
You didn't have to hang my little angel from a string

I've been calling all night
And there wasn't any answer
Something inside me won't let go
I believe my life is over
This is all that my heart can take

I could have found a way of working this out
All you had to do was say
Did you really think that I would rather
See my light go down in chains?

I've been calling all night
And there wasn't any answer
Something inside me won't let go
I believe my life is over
This is all that my heart can take

Say he rolled over
Say he's alive
Say it's not over
Say it's a lie

Something inside me won't let go
I believe my life is over
This is all that my heart...

I've been calling all night
And there wasn't any answer
Something inside me won't let go
I believe my life is over
This is all that my heart can take

10. Another Day Down

My one and only hope
Gifted me a length of rope
Tied in a lovely bow
I wonder if it will hold

But I am not defeated yet
Because I believe we'll meet again

Another day down
Another day down
Another day down
Another day down

I feel my only chance is
Filtering through my hands
And pulling, as it goes
Trembling flesh from bone

But I cannot admit it yet

Another day down
Another day down
Another day down
Another day down
Day down

If there was a way that
I could get my head around this
Don't you think I would?
Why did you say all the things that you said to me?
I don't know how you could

But I'm planning to stay alive
I am planning to stay alive
Long enough to see for myself

Another day down
Another day down
Another day down
Another day down

11. Inclined

If I manage to lift my head
I will toast this prison bed
If I allow myself to breathe
That is a very good thing for me

When I'm so inclined,
When I feel it's time to,
I will throw myself into the sea

If I manage to leave this room
It's not a sign I'm pulling through this
I force every breath
I have nothing, I'm not recovering
I'm biding time left

Because when I'm so inclined,
When I have the strength to,
I will throw myself into the sea
I will throw myself into the sea
